FLOWER BOAT
REACHES DANVILLE

The beautiful boat laden with flags
and flowers cast adrift by Jackson Post
and Womsn's Relief Corps of Berwi ick
on Memorial Day in honor of the sail
ors and marines who lost their lives in
the Rebellion, has arrived at Danville
and this morning laden with a fresh
cargo of flags and flowers will be re-
launched and sent onward to accom-
plish its mission.
The boat, which is some seven feet
long, and very beautiful, was built by
the g. A. r. especially for Memorial
Day purposes 1t was decorated with
flags and its hold completely filed
with flowers. after which with ap-
propriate ceremony it was cast adrift
on the Susquehanna. In the boat was
bottle containing a note addressed
to anyone. who might find the boat
should it become stranded along its
course, which requested that they i'm.
mediately set it adrift.
The boat was first heard from at
Cataw issa where the Veterans added a
note to the bottle, explaining that it
had come ashore there and been start
ed out anew on its uncertain cruise as
requested by the Berwick Post.
On Tuesday, just one week after
starting out, it was found by Edward
Brent lying Upside down on the beach
mile or go above Danville. The flow
ers and the flags we're lost but the bot
tie still remained containing the notes.
Henry Aten, member of Goodrich
Post, No. %. g. A. r.. hearing of the
find caused the boat to be brought
down to town. Assisted by his wife
yesterday he collected fresh lot of
flowers, the choicest that could be OBJ
tained, and these this morning will be
placed in the empty boat, which, dec
grated anew with flags, will be turn
ed adrift on the Susquehhnna Anoth-
er note here will be added to the bot
tie, explaining the mishap, which be-
fell the boat and by whom it was re-
loaded with flowers and set adrift.
Owing to the low stage of the river
and the many obstacles which lie in
the channel here the flower boat will
be accompanied and guided down the
stream as far as the rifles.
The Berwick comrades will no doubt
be pleased to hear from their boat in
this way. Whether additional tidings
will come later remains to be seen.

Readings Outlook.

The Philadelphia Stakeholder, a re.
liable financial paper, published daily
in Philadelphia, has great hopes for
the future of the Reading. In its edi-
tion of Saturday it said 1.-The expeota-
tion is that when the Reading direct
ors meet this month they will place
the common stock on a 4 per cent.
basis. The semi-annual deolara-
tion of per cent. is looked for, al
though there are some who think
that the dividend may be az per cent.
in order to make A per cent. for the
fiscal year. There are those who be.
lieve that the directors look forward
to placing the stock on a 8 per cent.
basis next year, but it ia understood
that is not a matter of immediate CON
sideration."

SOUTH SIDERS
UP IN ARMS

The resid, nts of South Danville as
we'll as all Gearhart township and
Riverside yesterday enjoyed them
selves poking fun at the novel ap-
proaoh fixed up at that end of the riv-
er bridge by the Commissioners of
Northumberland County.
The two men who were put to work
Tuesday morning, before evening had
completed their job. By that time
rude guard had been erected for a
proaoh and the deolivity from the
level of the wing walls down to the
old approach had been eased some hat
by shifting the ashes chat had been
used in filing up. But little work was
done. however. and the slope that re-
mains. some fifteen feet in length, is
easily one of thirty degrees. Add to
this the fact that the material is loose
ashes and it will be seen that while it
might be possible for a horse to drag
an empty wagon up the temporary ap.
proaoh. to attempt to make horse
pull a loaded wagon up the steep ao-
clivity would be to practice cruelty to
animals.
No one could believe that the work
was finished. but the two men employ
ed stated that they had been informed
that the job was completed. The
County Commissioner, who had the
work in hand upon being queried as
he was taking the train stated that it
would do for little while" but ad-
mitted that some gravel might be haul-
ed there later. 1t could not be learn
ed, however. that any arrangements
had been made to have any hauling
done.
The condition that the approach has
been left in has aroused good deal Of
indignation on the South Side. One
witty taxpayer yesterday insisted up
ON calling it "reproaoh" instead of
an approach. With the roadway
in such shape no one can see that the
bridge will be of any service for haul.
ing even when it is declared open. In
road construction 81R degrees or i2 in
very extraordinary cases is considered
the limit yet the hill that has tn be
climbed to get on the bridge represents
a grade at least double the maximum.

A Further POStpOnement,

An effort was made to wind up the
hearing on the injunction granite
against the Danville g. Sunbury Street
Railway Company before Judge Saw
idge at Sunbury yesterday, but it end
ed in failure. The first date set for
the hearing was May 15, but when the
day arrived by mutual consent the
hearing was postponed until May 29th.
On the latter date large volume Of
testimony was taken, but the argue
ment was postponed until yesterday.
Yesterday morning the case was re-
sumed before Judge Savidge, all part
les interested hoping that the days
proceedings would wind up the affair.
1t was to be otherwise. however.
Before making their arguments the
counsel for the plaintiffs asked leave
of Court to present some recently dis
covered evidence. The hearing was
postponed until next Monday morn
ing.
1t seems that Dairyman Isaac f..
Snyder and Johu e. CLARK who are
property owners on opposite side of
the road in Upper Augusta township
object to the construction of the road
on the public highway in front of their
property and this is the cause of the
further delay.
The Dsnville and Sunbury Company
state that in the case of one of the
farmers it has no intention of passing
in front Of his premises. An import
ant witness relied upon to help the
company out in the case of the other
farmer was unfortunately absent from
Sunbury. On the whole the Trolley
Company was unprepared for the new
turn that events had taken and Mr..
Scarlet asked for postponement,
which was granted.

young men of this city, who have de-
voted many weeks to preparation for

ing to the unexpected demand for

accommodate all who wish to attend.

tunity to witness this display OF. home
talent the management decided to en-
gage the Opera House for the date
mentioned above. The price of ad-
mission has been placed within the
reach of all, % cents to all parts OF the

Will of Wreck Victim.

The will of James MoCauley. late Of
1910 North Sixth street, Philadelphia,
who with his wife. Salome M. Nc
Oauley, was burned to crisp in the
Pennsylvania Railroad wreck at South
Harrisburg. May II, has been admitted
to probate.
The estate left by Mr.. McCauley
amounted to $s5, 500. and by the terms
of the will. which was executed in
1909. his wife was made executor. In
view of her death letters testamentary
were issued to Sadie M. Tindall, q
daughter.
The will directs that his burial lot
III Laurel Hill cemetery shall not be
sold, but remain as a place Of inter.
ment for himself, wife and children
and such of their immediate families
as the space will permit.
This feature of the will is partic-
ularly pathetic, inasmuch as no vestige
OF the bodies of Mr.. MoOauley or his
wife has been recovered. They were
passengers on the ll.fated express,
however, having been escorted to the
train bv relatives. They were on their
way to Pittsburg to visit relatives.
The will devises 30, 600 to be placed
in trust and the income to be applied
to their daughter. Sadie NJ. Tindall.
and the latter's daughter, Ethel, with
reversion of the principal to the latter
when she attains the age of thirty
years. A similar bequest is made to a
daughter-inlaw. Mary A. MoOauley.
and her daughter. Iona MoOauley. with
similar disposition of the principal.
The balance of the estate is devised
absolutely by Mr.. MoCauley to his
wife, with instructions to dispo @ of
by will as she saw fit.

LARGE CLASS
CONFIRMED

The Right Rev. James Henry OAR
lington. Bishop of the diocese Of Har-
risburg, made his first official visit to
Christ Church parish Sunday. This
is the first time in number of years
that bishop has been able, on account
of the large field they are compelled
to cover, to visit Danville OH a Sun
day. and that the occasion was fully
appreciated was clearly shown by the
large congregations that greeted Bish-
op Darlington at the several services.
Saturday evening reception was
held at the reotory. and many of the
parishioners and friends took advamt-
age of this opportunity to meet the
bishop.
At the celebration of the holy Eu-
chaIist Sunday morning Bishop OAR
lington preached sermon, taking as
his text: when the Comforter is
come, whom will send unto you from
the father" The discourse dealt with
the claims that the Holy Spirit, the
third parsonage of the Trinity. has up.
on each one of us, of the place that
should be giveh to Him in our lives,
and of the exalted influence for good
He would have if we could be able to
understand the full significance of His
being and take advantage of His ever
present helpfulness.
At the evening service the order of
confirmation was administered to a
GLASS of twenty four persons. After
the confirmation Bishop Darlington
addressed the class, urging them to
continue to live upright lives, and to
avail themselves of the increased spirit
ual strength they will possess as men,
bers Of the Church. and to improve and
extend their influence for good.

R. N. FARLEY ON
BOARD OF HEALTH

Robert Farley of the Fourth Ward
is the new member Of the Board of
Health. President Gibson at a reg
ular meeting of Council Friday night
announced that he had appointed Mr..
Farley as a member Of the Board of
Health from the Fourth Ward to suo-
oeed Aaron Rockefeller. who rendered
his resignation some months ago.
Borough Solicitor e. 8. Gearhart
called attention of Council to the status
Of the Densberger damage suit against
the Borongh, which was supposed to
have been compromised. Pursuant to
the action of council at its last meet
ing he had proceeded to settle with
Mrs Densberger according to the terms
of settlement, rendering two checks in
payment, one for 800 in the form of
damages and the other for $l9. As rep
resenting costs. When the case was
compromised it was understood that
not only the claim for past damages
was satisfied, but also that the right
of way on the ground was secured for
the future. From this position the
plaintiff has since reoeded. The Bor-
ough Solicitor returned the two checks
to Council, when on motion the order
for the payment of the two checks
granted at the previous meeting was
ordered cancelled. The disagreement
between Mrs. Densberger and the Bor-
ough. therefore, still remains.
On motion of Mr.. Vastine, seconded
by Mr.. Boyer it was ordered that the

be further hereby duly authorized and
empowered to make such tender and
to serve any and all other notices, &c.,
that may be required by the law in
the premises.
A petition signed by number of
citizens of Clinton and Day streets and
Cooperative Court, Gulick's Addition
was received asking that the arc light
situated near the Borough line be re-
moved down near the water plug on
Day street.
On motion the petition was referred
to Committee on Light.
A petition was also received from a
number of citizens in the Third Ward
calling attention to the long distance
between the electric light at Hemlook
and Chambers streets on Mill street,
nearly 600 feet, leaving the insection
of Mill and Little Ash streets one of
the darkest and most dangerous places
in the Borough. An additional arc
light therefore, was asked for at Mill
and Little Ash streets.
This petition was likewise referred
to the Committee on Light.
On motion of Mr.. Sweisfort. it was
ordered that one thousand dollars be
paid to d. J. Rogers for work done on
Mill street.
Mr.. Dietrich moved that the electric
light pole at the entrance to the river
bridge be removed to some other posi-
tion. DR.. Sweisfort seconded the mo-
tion. A vote was taken when the mo-
tion was lost.
The following members were pres
