New Work at Hospital.

The appropriation of over 5000, 600
granted by the last legislature for new
bulldings. &c. at the Hospital for the
Insane will be Immediately available
and work on the splendid system of
improvements will begin in a very
short time. Long before autumn much
of the work will be far under way.
Philip II johnson of Philadelphia
was appointed engineer and architect
to have charge of the new work by the
board of Trustees at their last regular
meeting. He is already working on the
plans and specifications for the power,
light and heat plant, which will be
the new appropriation.
For this building $9l 200 has been
appropriated. The idea is to ooncen-
trate all the departments into which
the consumption Of fuel enters under
one roof. The power, light and heat
plant will of necessity be an extensive
structure located at a point on the
grounds conveniently reached by the
cars. The concentration as described
will have the effect of cutting down
the cost of heat, light and power to a
very sppreciable extent.
Trustees who were interviewed yes
terdsy stated that they could not say
to what extent work would be pushed
on any of the other buildings during
the present summer, but i'll view OF
the urgency existing they saw no rea-
son why all the improvements should
not be gotten under way just as soon
as possible. The building of the pow
er. light and heat plant will be oom.
menced just as soon as the plans and
specifications are completed.

Department of Music.

The music recital, which was feat
ure of the close of the school term last
year will be repeated this season and
will take place in the High School
room on the evening of Friday, May
26th, at s O'Clock and will last one
hour. The object of holding the re-
oital in the evening instead of during
the day as last year is to give parents
of pupils, employed during the day, an
opportunity to be present.
The recital program will consist of
chart work, songs. and the like taken
from the text books as the work Is
carried on in grades during the year.
The idea is to give the public a fair
idea of the work done in music through
out the schools rather than to give a
first class entertainment. A cordial
invitation, therefore, is extended to
parents and others interested in the
progress of the schools to be present
at the recital.
The first recital was held last spring.
The one arranged for the present Will
be in many respects similar to the one
| last season, bat will be more advanc'
ed at some stages owing to the fact
that one years work has been added
| to the course. The department OF
music is advancing steadily and the
recital next year will be still more ad
! vanoed than the present.

-FOUR HOUSES
BURGLARIZED

Our town on Saturday morning was
thrown into state of excitement by
news that several burglaries had been
committed during the night. -Four
houses were robbed. the burglars get
ting away with considerable booty.
Three houses broken into were sit
uated on East Market street At the
fourth house, East Market street, oc-
cupied by Abram Burger. the burglars
were in the point of gaining admit
tance when Mrs. Thompson, daugh-
ter. was awakened. who gave the alarm.
The burglars, two in number, escaped,
but in passing under the electric light
lamp they were seen by Newton Pur-
sci, who noted that they were men
both short of stature.
At Frank Bergner's the burglars
broke open window and stole go Id
watch belonging to Mrs. Bergner
They did not arouse any of the ln-
mates and Mr.. and MRS. Bergner did
not know they were robbed until Sat
urday morning.
At Whitefeld Ford's they also fore
ed all entrance through a window and
operated so quietly that they did not
cause any alarm. They there stole
eight dollars in money.
At John Johns the burglars found
one of the windows raised and scr en-
inserted They had no difficulty in
gaining entrance here. Inside they
ran across lot of eatables and par
took of quite a lunch, leaving the rem
nants of their feast scattered over
the floor Their booty consisted of a
child's bank containing small sum
of money.
Leaving East Market street the bur
glars proceeded to the d. l.. d W..
station where they attacked the hotel
opposite conducted by Eugene Meyer
They here forced their way through "a
window into the bar room The cash
register contained about 50. This they
carried out on the railroad breaking 1t
open and removing the money. They
also stole from the hotel four boitl' s
of whiskey aud five boxes of cigars.
The burglars were evidently straug-
ers and suspicion pointed to group
of hobos who were found in hiding
about the Bessemer blast furnace Sat
urday, but who were routed during
the afternoon.

Exposed to Danger.

The woIkmen on the trolley track on
East Market street, are much annoyed
By children who crowd upon the track
and expose themselves to injury.
The men must have elbow room.
Picks and sledges are flying about in
all directions and the boy or girl sim
ply enters game of chance when he
or she attempts to circulate among tine
workmen. The painful accident which
befell Thos. r. Evans Monday evening
well illustrates in how many different
ways a person may be exposed to dang
er when standing upon the track while
work is in progress.
The matter is thus alluded TO that
it may be brought to the attention OF
parents, teachers and others who should
employ all measures possible to keep
the children off the track. There is no
time of day when boys and girls are
wholly absent, but the worst hours are
when the children are on their way to
or returning home from school.

OPENING Game on Saturday.

The opening game of base ball will
be played at DeWitt's Park on Satur-
day afternoon between the Danville
base ball club and Springfield.
Danville will put strong team in
the field. The best of last years play
ers will be retained in addition to
whom other first class players will be
employed. The Springfield club is well
known in Danville, where it has fire.
quently played. 1t is one OF the strong
est teams hereabOut. 1t is needless TO
say that the opening game will abound
in interest and should be witnessed by
every lover of base ball. Game Will
be called at 10 o'clock.
The Dsnville club needs encourage
ment. 1t has assumed heavy expense
and has been obliged to fix the price
of admission to the opening game at
25 cents. 1t is at some risk that the
game has been inaugurated but 1T will
be run one month as an experiment,
Beyond one month, therefore, 1t Will
all depend upon the encouragement re-
ceived. If the patronage warrants it
the game will be continued and only
first class teams will be put in the
field.
The grounds at DeWitt's Park are in
first class condition, S. NJ. Waite hav-
ing been employed upon them during
the whole week thus far. The grand
stand will seat five hundred. The new
bridge will afford delightful walk tc
the ground.
The line up will be printed later.

WANT TO BUY.
THE FERRY

Now that the river bridge has been
completed and the prospects are that
! it will be turned over to the two coun-
ties at almost any day the logical
| sequence would seem to be that We
will have little more use for the ferry
boat with the cable, ETC., making up
its equipment AS a consequence COM
munications are being received at the
office of the County Commissioners
looking to the purchase of the ferry
outfit
The free ferry up to the present
| stands the two counties about one
| thousand dollars. The outfit has been
in use a tri1e over year and while it
! has deprecated somewhat the Com
missioners think it ought to be cheap
at one half of its cost, or five hundred
dollars, and have decided upon that
| figure as price.
! The ferry boat is one of the largest
and best used On the North Branch
where bridges taken away by the ice
gorge have not yet been replaced.
! According to indications Danville
itself may have use for the ferry for an
indefinite time longer. Up to the pres
ent the County Commissioners have
had no word as to the nature of the
inspectors report who examined the
bridge last Saturday and it is not
known whether or not the report has
been presented to the Dauphin County
Court. Complications relating to the
approach at the South Side are such as
to make it impossible to predict when
the bridge may be thrown open to the
public.
Meanwhile the farmers of Rush and
Gearhart townships are subjected to
no end of inconvenience and feel very
much aggrieved that now when the
bridge is at last completed there should
be so much delay. When they visit
town they often find it almost impos-
81 Bile to get through with their busi-
ness in time to catch the ferry before
it closes down for the night. Now
that the river approaches low water
mark the ferry begins to make slower
time. At certain hours there is quite
a congestion of wagons entailing a
long and tedious wait at each landing.
At II O'Clock yesterday morning there
were some fifteen vehicles waiting on
the Danville side. Half a dozen Of
these were taken on the ferry, leaving
nine; of that number at least one-half
were left behind on the following trip
and had to wait for the greater part
of an hour. Undoubtedly we are en-
tering upon season when all the de-
lays and annoyances of ferry travel ex-
perienced before are about to be re-
peated, which makes it especially an :
fortunate that anything should OCCUR
to prevent the use of the bridge.

Military Coat With a History.

Mrs. X. W. Eggert has in her posses
sion highly priced heirlooms in the
form of a military hat and coat worn
by her father, Valentine Best. when
he was Brigadier General OF the mil
itary in the early 40's.
The coat, of navy blue, lined with
white satin, and highly decorated. is
unlike anything ever seen by men DOW
living and is without counterpart eX-
cept in old engrsvings showing mill
tary heroes dead aud gone for many
wears. The coat is some approach to
the claw hammer pattern. 1t Is double
breasted with ten buttons on each side.
On each shoulder is rich epaulette,
while at the extreme end of each of
the long narrow tails is heavily EN-
broidered star indicating the wearer s
rank.
The coat is we'll preserved and is
still handsome garment. 1t was worn
on at least one distinguished State oc-
casion and that was when General
Scott with his staff visited Dsnville
On that occasion General Scott was
the guest of General Best at the fam
lily homestead on the present site Of
the Grone building occupied by the
post office ana the local lodge of Elks,
Valentine Best was one OF DanVille' S
most distinguished citizens, He was
founder OF the Dsnville Intelligencer.
He was Speaker of the Senate and it
was solely through his efforts that
| Montour county was formed.

A New Fence Law. .

The new line fence law which was
recently approved By Governor Penny
packer, will be of interest to every
farmer and property owner in this
state The act provides that each prop
eGty owner must keep up half of the
line fence and if he does not the ad-
joining property owner can put up the
fence and collect the cost for so doing.
In case of disputes the township audi
tors are made the arbitrators. In this
capacity township auditors will be i'm.
portant officers hereafter as line fence
disputes are numerous.
