Mr.. Gouger'S Extended Trip.

". L. Gouger has returned to Dan
Vile after three months tour of the
West in the intere-. nf the Keystone
Combination Tool, invented by w. l..
Bare, of Williamsport, and manufact-
ured by John Hooley in this city.
Mr.. Gouger's trip took in New York,
Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee
and West Virginia. In n business way
his trip was very successful and organ
ization was effected for the sale of the
unique tool manufactured IN Danville Q
in each of tie states visited and in
Oaliforni9 beside.
Irrespective Of the business in hand
the trip had great interest for Mr..
Gouger. Everywhere, especially as
far as agricultural interests were con-
cerned he saw evidences of prosperity.
The great stock farms of Kentucky
held an abiding interest for Mr.. Goug-
er, who is fancier of fine stock.
Among the places visited was the
four thousand acre stock farm of Ho-
gan. the Cooper King" On this
plantation are one thousand blooded
horses, including twenty thoroughbred
stations, among the latter being great
Salvador" whose record of 80 has
never been beaten in the world.
Another point visited was the Ma
tlonal Cemetery near Louisville, XIV
Mr.. Gouger was there on March 25,
when the grass was already growing
luxuriantly two inches high and swans
were disporting themselves in the
limpid waters. The cemetery is apart
from the busy world, the grounds are
admirably laid out and the spot itself
and all the surroundings are of en-
| chanting beauty.

Bridge to be Painted Jet Black,

Painters yesterday began work on
the superstructure of the river bridge.
This a branch of the work lost sight
of ny many people, who thought the
bridge was completed and would have
seen nothing wrong had it been hand
ed over by the State without any ad.
ditional paint
As a matter of fact the bridge in
cluding the entire system of overhead
work is to receive two additional coats
of paint. The first coat will be of a
color bordering on grey; the second
coat will be jet black. There will be
no diversity, even the railing along
the sidewalk, now red, will be jet black
in color
A Philadelphia firm has been award
ed the sub b-contract for painting by the
King Bridge Company. A limited
number of painters have been working
underneath the bridge for couple OF
weeks past where they were out of
sight. The entire floor system was
completed yesterday morning when
the painters began work on the over
head system at the Southern end OF
the bridge.
Some half dozen painters were EN-
ployed yesterday, bat the number is
to be increased so that both coats may
be applied and the bridge completed
by the last of the present month.

A Cornet With a Record.

People passing on Mill street during
a couple of days / 4st have had their
attention attracted by most beauti-
full and venerable relic in the wind
ow of David Haney's cigar store and
barber shop, in the form of solid sill
yer cornet. which has been Tlaced on
exhibition by William Deutsch, Water
street.
The corpet, which belongs to the
famous band leader, Charles II. Stoes,
has an interesting history. In addition
to the fact that it is Of solid silver, it is
of first class make so that its intrinsic
value is considerable and it cost when
new two hundred dollars.
What makes the instrument of especial
value are the associations which clust-
er around it. 1t was presented to Mr..
Stoes by his admiring friends of Dan
vile, in the year 1858. During his
subsequent career as band musician
Mr.. Stoes used the horn and what good
care he took of it is we'll attested by
its superb condition. 1t does not bear
a dent or blemish today aud its del
icate and graceful lettering show up
with as good an effect as the day WI IN
the engraving was executed.
Among the ornamental work on the
cornet is the following inscription:
Presented to Charles H. Stoes of
Stoes' silver cornet band of Danville.

STRUGGLE WITH
LIVE WIRE

CYRUS Dietz, who presides over the
meat market near Rossman's Drug
Store, Mill street, was shocked by elec-
tricitv Monday afternoon and al
though he was in no danger OF being
seriously injured yet he had an expert
ence that no amount of money could
tempt him to repeat.
During the storm telephone
wire fell across the street. Fearing
that it might cause horse to fall Mr.
Dietz went out and gathered up the
wire, first looking overhead to assure
himself that it was no where IN con-
tact with live wire. Coiling up the
telephone wire as he advanced he walk
ed IN under the awning and was in the
act of depositing the coil on the pave
ment when step forward caused one
end of the wire still fast overhead, to
rub against an electric light wire near
the building, which had been temp
orarily charged to furnish light dur
| lDR liI6 slOIlu
In an instant Mr. Dietz received a
shock. HE attempted TO drop the wire
bat it clung 10 his hand and caused
his fingers to tighten until they clutch
| ed the wire. With his left hand he
wrested the wire loose from his right,
but then it Clung fast to his left hand,
| while all the time he experienced the
familiar though painful sensation Gaus-
cd by the electric current in every part
of his body from tie crown Of his head
J to the soles of his feet. In this way
| for some time ne wrestled with the
! charged wire, which cldng to him like
an angry serpent, the by ISLANDERS mean
while seeming terror stricken.
Finally, however, Mr. Deitz or some
one else thought of the right thing tc
| do and the man was released. Aside
from the fright Mr.. Deitz was little
the worse for his contact with the
charged wire beyond few burns on
the hand. which were not serious.
A linemaD in discussing the event
said that if Mr.. Deitz had seized hi:
hat or anything else that was a poor
conductor of electricity with it in his
hand he might have disengaged him
self without difficulty.

BRIDCEMEN LEAVE
FOR THEIR HOMES

The iron work of the river bridge
between Dsnville and South Danville
is completed and the contractors, the
Horseheads Construction Company,
are off the ground. Now that the
machinery and various appliances are
removed from off the bridge and the
approach at the South side is cleaned
up things present an entirely different
appearance which adds to the beauty
of the bridge.
Galen Morgan aud P. J. Collins, the
last Of the bTidgemen, left at noon yes
terday. Others who lave left tor their
homes during the last few days are as
follows: Saturday, Martin Powers and
Rupert Stratton. Of Owego; Monday,
Michael Cane, of Owego and Daniel
McCarty. and Harry Edwards, of Bing-
hamton; Sunday, H. L. Dunham, John
P. Rosssr and Edward Hill, of Pitts
ton.
A portion of the floor on the lower
sidewalk at this end of the bridge has
noe yet been laid owing to the non-ar-
rival of lumber. The plank, however.
has been shipped and is expected to
arrive in few days when a couple of
men will be sent here by the contract
ors to finish the sidewalk.
Before leaving Mr.. Morgan gave
some facts including dates relating to
the progress of work on the super
structure, which will be found of gener.
al interest. The Horseheads Const4uc
tion Company came on the ground
early in November. Work on the iron
work of the first span was begun on
November %. AS illustrating how fast
the work at times was pushed it needs
only be stated that on December End,
seven days later. " )rk was begun on
the second span and that eleven days
after the latter date, december 18th,
the erection =. the third span was be-
gun. And so it went on, tn" fourth
span being begun on December 23rd ;
the fifth span on February 2nd; the
sixth span, on FebruGfy 7th and the
seven tn or last span on February 14th.
Aside from the very satisfactory pro-
gress made the wort throughout has
been executed in thoroughly work
msnlike manner and it would be diff
cult to find the least flaw anywhere
about the bridge The workmen. too,
were a gentlemanly lot and their many
courtesies toward pedestrians, who
were permitted to use the sidewalk of
the bridge while work was IL progress,

Interview With rIr. Foley.

John Edward Foley, representa-
tive of the United States Wood Pre-
serving Company, which has the con-
tract for putting down the wood block
pavement on the river bridge, was in
this city yesterday trying to arrange
for an early beginning of the work.
In conversation with a representa-
tive of this paper he said he did not
see how he could begin laying the
pavement until next Monday. There
are several obstacles in the way.
In the first place the concreting has
not gone far enough. There has been
enough work done, but under the ar
rangements with the trolley track a
factor to contend with there is no.
where sufficient surface concreted
and cleared to enable the PAYERS to
begin.
Mr.. Foley is also afraid that he may
be held up by the unfinished condition
OF the abutment at the South side,
where vast amount of filling up is
yet required and where under present
methods employed the work proceeds
very slowly, indeed.
The contractors expect to begin paw
ing at the Southern end of the bridge
and unless the abntment is made pass
able for wagons yet during the present
week, Mr.. Foley does not see how he
is going to haul the blocks to the
bridge when he wishes to begin work.
The contracting firm is the victim
of good deal of hard luck. 1t has
been several weeks since the paving
blocks arrived. Five car loads are now
here and aside from the loss of time
demurrage on the cars is heavy. Up
to yesterday this item alone amounted
to one hundred dollars.
