ASHMEN Face
A QUESTION

This is the ashman's busy season and
he is working overtime. Contracts are
easy to obtain and if prices are not of
the best it is because Of the sharp COM
petition existing.
There is one drawb back, however,
and that is the difficulty in finding
place to dump the ashes. The trouble
is that conditions are extraordinary
this year and they effect the disposal
of the ash and garbage pile rs we'll as
great many other things.
The usual dumping place on the riv-
er bank is entirely cut off by the block
ed condition of the River road as we'll
as by the absence of the bridge at the
Greek Mouth. 1t is even impossible
to reach the dumping ground by driv-
ing down the other road from North
cumberland street, as the big mound of
ice at the Southern end of the canal
bridge at Lovers Leap effectually
shuts out all travel at that point
The ash and garbage men complain
great deal. They say that they are
expected to remove the ashes they are
forbidden to dump them inside the bor-
ough limits and the one spot outside
the Borough ordinarily available is
now inaccessible. Under the cirCum
stances they hold that the Borough
ought to provide place for dumping
ashes or the combination of ashes and
garbage that is usually found III the
back yards.
One of the ash men. who does a big
business, says that he has been fortu-
nate thus far in finding places about
town that needed filling up and where
the owners were willing that ashes
should be used. A large proportion OF
the stuff, however, that accumulatcs
in the back yards during winter, he
says, is unfit for this purpose and
should be carted as far as possible
from the residence portion of town il
not beyond the Borough limits. He
expects to sec considerable trouble az
the result of the present state of af
fairs.

"The Moonshiner's Daughter"

1.-THE Moonshiner's Daughter" is the
title of the latest melodramatic pro-
duction which will be seen at the
Opera House ON Saturday evening.
There is a pretty love story nicely
woven throughout this play and the
adventures of the Moonshiners are de-
picted in a most thrilling manner.
There are four acts and each Is en-
vironed with a handsome scenic dress.
ing, the play is staged in decidedly
flushed manner and the company is
made up Of players who have won dis
tinction heretofore in prominent pro-
ductions. Incidents from the famous
Hatfield-Taylor feud of Kentucky and
Tennessee are shown in a realistic
manner. A raid on the Moonshiner' s
Illicit still by the U. s. Government
men Is another feature. Lots Of speci-
alties and the Great Moonshiner' 8

Peonla 0nnnsa More Piers.

The reconstruction by the New York
Central Railroad company of the
bridge across the West Branch of the
Susquehsnna, just west of Oak Grove,
near Jersey Shore, has been made the
object Of state investigation. Be-
cause OF the fact that the oompany's S

ditionsl heavy stone piers to support

Farmers and others residing west of
the bridge, whose properties would be
menaced by a river overflow have TAX
en- exceptions to the building of these
additional piers, oonteDding that they
greatly increase obstruction to free
jeotion is that the oloseness with
which the piers now stand-or that it
Is proposed to have them stand-will
result in dangerous ice jams and con
sequent back water overfiOws. Fear
OF this was engendered by the forma-
tion of the famous ice gorge in the
North Branch of the Susquehanna. by
which the river was diverted from its
course in places, flowed over fields and
did inestimable damage to farm land
and buildings.
1t is oontended by the objectors that
the location of the Central bridge IN
question would be conducive to just
such menaoing ice gorge conditions,
because OF decided bends in the river
there. 1t Is pointed out that jam Of
ice against this bridge would force the
water out over q wide territory. 1t is
limited, too, that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company is party to the
formal objection made for the reason
that its tracks would be menaced, and
probably completely covered, in case
an ice gorge formed against this bridge
The matter has been formally
brought to the attention of Governor
Pennypaoker, at whose request the
Central company has furnished the
state authorities with plan of the
proposed bridge. 1t Is likely that
public hearing will be had upon the
matter in the near future, at which
both sides will present arguments

A Souvenir OF
THE GREAT FLOUD

One of the most valuable and highly
priced souvenirs of the great food is
a magnificent collection of fifty-fve
different views which today or Mon
day will find a place in the parlor of
the Y. NJ. @. A. The pictures repre-
sent the work of WillIG. Brown and
are neatly mounted on an immense
card board thirty by forty inches
The picture is being framed by How
ard Moore.
The views are clear and distinct and
reflect great credit on amateur work.
They form seven rows of eight pictures
each and are arranged in order from
left to right according to the relation
which one bears to the other, giving
each row a panoramic effect. This is
illustrated by a series of views arrang
ed side by side which show the ap-
pearanoe of things below town when
the water was at its highest. First we
have the residence formerly occupied
by David Thomas, next in order the
submerged D. L. & W. tracks, the can
al and Keim's brick yard nearly oblit-
Grated, the lower end of West Market
street deep under water, the wide ice
jammed river with Riverside, also
flooded, in the background, the whole
presenting an extended view such as
the eye might have taken in from Bald
Top.
This effect is remarkably acCentuat-
ed in the row of views representing
the river bridge, which restores to the
eye the different phases as they ap-
peared in quick succession on the day
the structure was carried off. In one
continuous view as it were the bridge
is shown intact at the first movement
of ice. then as first break occurs, sec
ond break-spans leaving piers last
span leaving pier-three views show
ing different positions of the bridge
drifting down the river. &c.
The fifty.five views represent pic
lures taken during the two floods and
embrace subjects all the way from
Nescopeck to South Danville. There
are scenes about Berwick, Nesoopeck,
Catawissa and Roaring Greek, show
ing ice gorges, submerged farms and
railroad track. the ruins of bridges
and sites of bridges carried away.
Especially interesting are the views
on the Pennsylvania railroad, where
the railroad Is nowhere in sight, being
deeply submerged and nothing but
water aud ice seems visible. These
pictures were taken from the rear
platform of the first passenger train
that worked its way through.
One Of the best pictures Of the lot is
one showing Mill street flooded, and
yet this view was taken at 6 80 o'clock
when it was already twilight. There
is picture of the sixty foot ice gorge
at Lovers Leap and another of the
320-ton ice boulder on the Kase' farm.
Among other views are those showing
things as they appeared during the
food at the Silk Mill, at Mowry and
Cooper streets, at John Msrshall's and
the several residences on Lower Mark.

To Restook Fields With Quail.

The Rifle and Gun Club of this city
has practically alb andoned the idea OF
stocking the groves of Montour coun.
ty with quail.
The members of the club share in
the view. generally held by sportsmen
that the bitter cold of last winter kill
ed off the birds In large numbers. A
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the feasibility of shipping quail
into the county for the purpose of re-
stocking the fields.
Quail for this purpose are generally
shipped from Amityville, N. Y, or
from Kansas The demand, however,
has been very great and the price
rapidly rose from six dollars per dozen
to twelve dollars per dozen. The lat
ter price is prohibitive in its effect
and the committee thus far has had
