CURED Saturday, was consigned TO the
grave IN Fairview Cemetery Tuesday
afternoon. The funeral took place at
l 80 O'Clock from the family residence.
East Market street.
The services were conducted by Rev
J. E. Hutchison assisted by Rev Dr.
]. b. Grier and Rev. Edward Haugh-
ton. The youth of the deceased. his
beautiful Christian life. his devotion
to his parents and his kind considera-
tioD for others even in the midst of
his most eXCruCiating suffering while
on the bed of illness, seemed to lend
an especial pathos and imIressiveness
to the services. The flowers. which
came not only from Danville, but even
from cities as far away as WilkesbarIe
and Philadelphia formed vast pro-
fusion, whose beauty baffled descrIp-
ton. In all there were seventeen floral
offerings and they formed a Citing
tribute to the memory OF the pure
young life that had passed from earth.
The pail bearers were: Dr. E. 4.
Curry, Frank Jameson, H. B. Schultz.
W. V. Oglesby, Esq. William Watkin.

Governor Can Not be Present.

Ralph Kisner, Esq. Chairman of the
Citizens Celebration Committee. has
received a response to the invitation
extended Governor Pennypacker to be
present at the grand demonstration in
Danville baing planned for the Fourth
of July.
Our readers will be sorry to learn
that the Governor can not be present
1t was thought that the completion OF
the grand river bridge entering as il
does into the celebration might infu-
enUe Governor Pennypacker to cCme
to DlnvilIe on the Fourth of July, but
as will be seen from the following re-
ply there are reasons why lie must
forego the pleasure:
Mr. Ralph Kisner,
Danville, Pa.
Dear Sir Il am directed by the Gov
ernor TO acknowledge the receipt of
your letter OF the goth instant, relative
to the new River Bridge. Unfortun-
ately, the Governor will be in the
Eastern end of the State on the 4,h of
July, and it will be impossible for him
to accept this very courteous invita-.
tion. He wishes all success to the citi-
zens of Danville and Montour County.
Very truly yours,
BROMLEY WHARTON,
Private Secretary.

BOROUGH SOLONS
IN SESSION

/ The action of the Committee on
Streets and Bridges in locating the
trolley track of the Danville and Sun
| bury Street Railway on the north side
of East Market street above the en-
CINE house was confirmed by the action
of Council Friday night.
Mr.. Dietz objected to the location
of the track on the north side of the
street and raised the question whether
| the Committee had the authority to
! locate the track so arbitrarily, hold
lug TO the view that it was a matter
for action bv the whole Council as q
| body. The trolley ordinance was re-
ferred to when il was found that the
middle Of the street was to be selected
for the track except when ordered 9TH
erwise by the Borough. In the present
case, therefore. nothing remained but
| to confirm the action of the Committee
in order TO make it binding. On mo-
tion of Mr. Fenstermacher, seconded
| by Mr.. Vastine. a vote was taken,
which confirmed the action of the
| Committee
Mr. Vastine reported that he had
consulted the Borough Solicitor on the
status of repairs On A street and was
informed By that official that it now
devolves upon the Borough to furnish
a curb line Mr.. Vastine further stat
ed that he understood that Mr.. Pascoe
wants to begin work on repairs on A
street next Monday.
Mr. Vastine also reported that the
new culvert on Ferry street was CON-
pleted AMI moved that an order be
drawn in favor of Mr.. Evans for the
contract price, $3.50.
Mr.. Goeser asked for an explanation
way the water way on Ferry street
was located near one side of the canal.
1t was explained in the first place that
the culvert is in line with the Mill
street culvert and secondly that saw
ing was effected by placing it in its
present position where the abutment
of the bridge could be utilized in its
construction.
Council spent some time discussing
the best methods of keeping Mill street
clean On motion of Mr.. Magill it was
ordered that the Street Commissioner
be requested to flush the new pave
ment as an experiment to see what
effect it would have in keeping it pre-
sentable.
1t was the sense OF the members that
the business methods of Council es-
pecially as relate to the payment of
bills might be much improved upon.
On motion therefore tho Presi-
dent appointed Messrs. Goeser. Reif-
snyder and Sweisfort as a committee
to act in conjunction with the Secre-
tary in devising better means for
carrying on the business of the Bor-
ough.
Some details pertaining to the grade
for the new pavement at J. v Gill
laspys property. Mill street. occupied
Councils attention for awhile. All
the members not being familiar with
the situation it was decided to post
pone further consideration of the sub
Ject until all could visit the spot. Up
on adjournment the members in a
body visited that part of the street
involved in the controversy and will
report their views later.
The following members we're pres
ent Vastine. Reifsnyder, Gibson.
Dietrich, Goeser, Jacobs, Fenstermach-
er, Dietz, Boyer, Msgill Sweisfort aud
Hughes.
The following bills were approved
for pay ment;

DYNAMO AND
ENGINE TESTED

The engine and dynamo of the nun
icip pal light plant was put to a thorough
test Friday afternoon. The expert
ments were of much interest even 10
the uninitiated and they were with IS
ed by good many people including
Chief Burgess Pursel, members of
Council and others.
The numb3r of arc lights burning
now are considerably fewer than may
have to be installed to meet the de-
mands of the future. In contracting
for engine and dynamo, therefore. care
was taken to procure one capable OF
meeting the probable increased de,
maud The engine and dynamo in
stalled are presumably of sufficient
capacity, bat the present number of
lights, which are about fvesixths of
the number that may be required do
not constitute a thorough test. In or
der to prove that the machinery would
i'll the bill beyond all doubt it was
necessary to improvise some way of
loading it down to the point required.
rhe test was conducted by w. Irwin
Cheyney an electrical expert of Phila-
delphia, employed by the Borough for
that purpose The engine during the
test was in the hands of a special rep
resentative of the Watertown company.
To load down the engine and dvnamO
the usual plan was adopted; four bar
rels filled with water were placed side
by side rods of metal forming the
best of conductors, entered the bar
rels at different points penetrating the
water, which although a conducJor,
as such is much inferior to metal.
Starting the machinery continuous
current of electricity was established
through the barrels, when all that was
needed was to take account of the re-
sistance exerted by the water in order
to determine the amount of work the
machinery was doing.
The report of the test may not De
made known until some time later,
but it seemed TO be the general opinion
that both engine AMI dynamo came
fully up TO the standard. There was
not the least apparent deficiency or
evidence of weakness. The engine ran
like top while the dynamo under its
heavy load made things hum.
