Nlock FACTORY Rreaks Record.

Last week was record breaker at
the clock factory. The enlargement
of the plant together with the installa-
tion of automatic machinery has re-
suited in a gratifying increase of pro.
duct. Last week all previous efforts
were outdone and one hundred and
twenty of the self winding clocks were
turned out.
The entire building is now occupied.
1t presents a busy and interesting ap-
pearance and seems quite a factory,
having already outgrown the limits of
small industry. Fifteen hands are
employed. The clocks manufactured
comprise sixteen different models,
among them being Office clocks, parlor.
boudoir. dining room and kitchen

gathered from the fact that on the
books of the company are three thou
sand orders untitled. 1t is evident that
the Rempe Manufacturing Company
will have to enlarge its plant again in
the near future.
The clock factory has not yet been in
existence one year. The factory start
ed up on July 1st, but no clocks were
turned ont until October lst and then
only in limited numbers to meet tie
demand for samples. 1t was not until
the first of the year that clocks were
turned out in considerable numbers.
The progress made has indeed been
rapid and attests alike the popularity
of the wonderfu timepiece and the
push and enterprise of those who have
its manufacture in hand.

As TO THE NEW
RIVER BRIDGE

1t now seems fully estat lished to the
satisfaction OF those in position to
know how things are progressing that
notwithstanding rumors to the con-
tIary the State will rebuild the bridge
at this place; also that the structure
will be mainly as recommended in the
report of the viewers. 1t is believed,
too, that no time will be lost, that
work will begin i'll a month Or SOS
time and that the job will be pushed
to completion before the holidays.
1t transpires that the opinion of the
Attorney General of April 2lst, which
few took to imply that the bridge at
Danville would be put in the same
category as that of Oatawlssa, was
entirely misconstrued.
The Attorney General had been ask
ed for an opinion deciding the question
whether the wrecked bridges belonged
to the State or to the counties upon
whose petitions they were erected. In
dealing with this class of bridges,
erected by the State, the Attorney
General made the ruling that the COM
monwealth is not obliged to rebuild a
bridge unless it is destroyed, which in
his opinion meant total destruction.
In following out the subject the At
torney General informs the Superin
tendent of Public Grounds and Build
ings who had asked for the opinion,
thas It would obviously be unwise for
him to commit any ect i'll the way of
reclailning any material or wreck, in
asmuch as that act might be interpret
ed to mean the assumption of an OBJ
legation on the part of the Common
wealth to rebuild in cases where such
liability does not clearly exist. The
view is held that the material having
been donated by the State TO the coun-
ty the title is now vested in the latter
aud that it would be difficult to see on
what principle of law the Common
wealth could claim title to the materi-
al in revocation of its prior gift.

The Ourbstone Market.

As things in connection with the
trolley assume shape and the time for
breaking ground approaches it is real
lied that the curbstone market at least
as a factor on Mill street has de-
cidedly short lease of life. To main
tain the market on that thoroughtare
while the trolley is in building would
seem as impracticable as when the cars
are running.
The matter of a new location has
frequently been discussed by Council
informally, but it has never yet came
before that body for action. What pro-
vision will be made for the farmers
will yet develop. 1t is safe to as
sumo that this useful class of venders
will not be neglected, but that they
will be assigned to some other location
convenient alike to seller and buyer.

Smoke House Burns Down.

An alarm of fire about five O'Clock
Saturday evening brought the Friend
ship aud Washington Hose Companies
flying down to Mill street on double
quick time 1t transpired, however,
that their services were not needed.
The blaze proved a slight one con-
fined to John Eisenhart's smoke house
at the rear of West Market street. The
little building was quickly consumed
along with its contents, five hams and
two pieces of side meat.
The fire was discovered by one of
the neighbors and gentleman driv-
ing up West Market street quickly de-
livered the word at the Friendship
Engine House. The fire company,
however, got under the impression that
the blaze was at Eisenhart's Meat
Market in City Hall and they dashed
down Mill street.
They soon learned their mistake. but
by the time they got to the scene of
the fire the building was practically
consumed.
Mr. Eisenhart estimates his loss at
about $25.

To Murder Bank Cashier.

Northumberland County narrowly es-
capped another dark page in its history
and only the prompt action OF officers
of Mt. Carmel prevented a series of
crimes equal in daring as those COM
mitted by the car bandit robbers, who
were recently executed at Chicago.
Shemaskie, Trevitti and Williams,
three young men who were recently
arrested in Mt. Carmel charged with
committing a nu nb9r of daring robbor-
les and bold hold-ups, before being ar
rested had planned to commit crime
in wild-western style and the murGor-
ing of former we'll known Sunburian
was agreed upon and arrangements for
committing the deed had all been per
fected.
Several days ago the young crimi.
nails were taken to Mt. Carmel from
Sunbury Jail in an effort to have them
identified by farmer, recently held
up and shot at on road near Mt. Car
mel. The three were identified by the
farmer as the right parties and seeing
that they could not evade the law they
made startling confession of their
plans. They said they had been prac-
ticing at long range shooting and rid
ing horseback with the expectation OF
holding up trains and robbing banks.
| They were then going west. The
Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit
| Company of Mt. Carmel was to be en-
! tered, and Cashier A. l.. BastreSs. for
merly of Sunbury, was to be shot down
| in cold blood and murdered. The three
robbers had inspected the bank and
had laid all their plans. Shamaski
was to gain an entrance to the bank at
night, escaping the vigilance of the
watchman. and was to conceal himself
on top of the vault and when Mr.. Bas-
| tress came alone to the bank in the
morning he was to shoot and kill him
Trevatti and Williams were to be wait
ing on the outside of the building and
after the shooting they were to help
secure the plunder. A revolver was
to be placed in Mr.. Bastress' hand to
try and make it appear like suicide.
The boys were then to leave immedi-
ately for the West. The day fixed for
this daring deed was to be three days
from the time of their arrest. A num-
ber of years behind prison bars awaits
these desperadoes. -Sunbury Item.

Law Not a Good Measure,

Local fishermen of experience claim
that the state law which requires that
all fish of legal size be thrown back
into the stream is not good measure.
The fish after being hooked and drawn
out of the water are so damaged by
exposure that they seldom survive the
experience, even though they are re-
turned to their native element i'm
mediately. One angler states that
while on a trip last week he caught
three trout that were not of the pre-
scribed size. AS soon as he discovered
this fact he tossed each fish back into
the pool of water he had taken it from.
A few minutes thereafter the fish
could be seen floating dead upon the
surface.

THROWN FROM
THE FERRY

The ferry boat as it piled southwark
over the river shortly after 4 O'Clock
Monday afternoon was the scene of a
thrilling occurrence which consisted
of man being thrown over board into
the deep water.
The victim of the mishap was Rich.
ard Hullihen, driver of one of the Nc
Cormick buses. The ferry was max
ing poor time owing to difficulty Of
getting the fiat boat into the shore on
the South Danvllle side. Richard was
trying to get to the station in time for
the 81 Pennsylvania train west. He
had in the bus two passengers, two
trunks and the mail pouch. So much
time was consumed in waiting for the
ferry on this shore that to be OH the
safe side it was decided that the two
passengers should take a launch, while
Richard would take his chances in
catching the train with the trunks and
the mail.
The ferry arrived and in due time
was on its way back over the river.
Realizing that but few minutes re-
manned before the train was due Rich
ard thought he would help things
along and when the ferry arrived at a
point opposite to the last pier he made
ready to assist in lowering the fall
board.
He placed his weight upon the long
shaft supporting the fall board which
is secured by all iron catch in the side
from the end. His weight not proving
adequate to bear the beam downward,
he called another gentleman to his as
sistance. Their combined weight prov
ed sufficient to unlatch the beam and
as they were still some seventy yards
from shore the only thing for them to
do. of course, was to keep their feet
on the beam to the end that they
might balance the fall board and keep
it raised in position.
They had stood thus only a moment
or so when the second gentleman for
getting himself or not realizing that
his weight was needed to keep the
beam down stepped off and walked
over to the other side of the boat.
The very moment his weight was re-
moved down went the heavy fall
board, up went the beam and Richard,
whose weight proved scarcely more
than feather, shot into the air fall
ing on the outside of the rail head
downward into the river.
The ferry was full Of vehicles and it
happened that only one man was in a
position to see Richard as he took his
remarkable header into the river. The
water at that point is ten or twelve
feet deep. Richard sank out of sight
and by the time he rose to the surface
the fat boat had gone on its way. The
eyewitness, however, had grasped a
long pole kept on board for emergen-
cies and was endeavoring to reach him.
By this time the alarming cry had
gone out that man was overheard,
but it was impossible to stop the boat
instantly. Meanwhile Richard was
struggling to keep above water and
was actually holding his own and max
ing considerable progress in swim
ming.
The ferry was finally brought to a
standstilI and the man after swimming
some ten yards WAS assisted on board.
In falling into the river he struck
his head on the side of the ferry and
sustained bad scalp wound and bruise.
Injured and wet as he was, however,
the pluoky busman, completed his trip
to South Danville.

Value of Farms.

Many farms are estimated below
their true value because of slovenly
appearance. Weeds higher than the
fences, trees blown down and left to
rot in the same place, fences out of
repair, gates and barn doors off the
hinges or swinging on one hinge, un-
slightly litter in door yard and at the
barn-these and many such evidences
of carelessness depreciate the value of
any farm. The soil may be excellent,
the water facilities all that could be
asked for and all natural advantages
requisite to make a good, high-priced
farm may exist, and yet that farm
scarcely makes its owner living.
