To Install Phone System.

Owing to the success achieved by
the Philadelphia s. Reading Goal q
Iron Company with the telephone line
it introduced recently. connecting all
its collieries in the Schuylkill region
with headquarters of the company at
Pottsville, the Reading Railway Com
pany has decided to establish a tele-
phone system along its main line and
ell the other divisions.
The arrangement will not interfere,
however, with the telegraph depart
ment, but phone service will be used
at all points where there are no tele-
graph offices and where ttains can be
reached on sidings, etc.. thus throw ing
extra safeguards around trains and
saving the expense Of operators at
points where there is but little for
them to do.
At the present time the Reading has
hundreds of private phones. They are
used in the big yards and at all i'm
portant stations. At Reading in the
locomotive shop. car shop, offices and
switch towers, they are in use and on
busy days can hardly be dispensed
with.

pushing the matter of the formation Of

paying their physicians for services
rendered. These are black listed and
their names placed on record in the
books Of the association, In order that
no other member thereof may be
swindled by the sharps. These protec-
tive associations have been in vogue
in other counties in the State for a
number of years, and they prove
of great benefit to the medical frater-
nifty.
The committee appointed to arrange
for the organization In this county, is
hard at work projecting its plans. Dis
tant organizations have been written
to for copies Of their constitution and
bylaws, in order that suitable ones
may be drafted for the local associa-
tion. 1t is expected that an organiza-

resumed on the three remaining spans.
When a resumption Of the latter will
occur, would be difficult to say with
any degree of certainty. Under pres

to put up the false work. The water

DRUG STORE

The explosion of a bottle Of wood
alcohol in Hunts drug store Sunday

citement in the vicinity Of Mill and

oohol soon burst into flames and only
the timely arrival Of assistance saved
the entire contents of the room from
destruction. g. Shoop Hunt. propri-
etor of the store was badly burned
about the face.
The bottle of wood alcohol was about
three-quarters full and was standing
on shelf back of the prescription

proprietor. had been in the store earlier
in the morning and had rebuilt the fire
in stove near which the bottle stood,
and then returned home to breakfast
while G. Shoop Hunt took charge Of
the store.

buted to excessive heat as the fire had
scarcely been started, aud the room
was still chilly when the accident hap
pened. Mr.. Hunt was seated near the
stove. and just below the shelf upon
which stood the alcohol bottle. when
without warning the bottle bursted
with loud report. The jar shook the
store and the noise was heard in the
adjoining buildings. The force of the
compressed atmosphere broke large
window in the front Of the store.
The alcohol was scattered over the
space back of the prescription desk,
causing the whole area to burst into
flames. The explosion was heard across
the street. and chemical extinRuisher
was brought from the Post Office that
soon put out the fire.
Mr.. Hunt was badly burned about
the face and suffered great pain. The
bottles standing beside the alcohol
were not even moved, and the only
other article that was broken In the
store, beside the trout window. was a
bottle standing on another shelf direct

The Polish Lithuanian Brewing
Company's plant is undergoing a great
Transformation. Changes are being

on Spring street will have passed be-
yond recognition.
1t will be remembered that Anton
Buerger, president of the Buerger Malt
ing Company, Of Mayville, Wisconsin.
recently became part owner Of the local
plant. Soon thereafter he set about
devising plans for the improvements
of the establishment. After these were
contaminated, work was commenced.
A new foundation Is being placed un-
der the entire structure. Partitions
are being removed so as to have a
packing room, 40x40 feet. This will
have q concrete floor. It ia now being
built. The present office will be re.
msvsd into the building on the op-
posite side Of the street, now used as
the bottling works. The latter industry
will be dispensed with. A new office
will be erected near the present bot
tline establishment. Local mechanics
are being employed and while they are
at work the business Of the plant is
not being interfered with.
When everything is completed and
put in shape, Mr.. Buerger says he is
going to invite the public to inspect
the plant. SO al opinion can be passed
upon its merits. "I am not going to
