Rich Strike at Natalie.

The Natalie colliery,an independent
concern. which has had a spectacular
and somewhat cheCkered career, owing
TO the contention of opposing financial
interests for its control, has just been
proved to be one of the richest collier
les in the Shamokin field. After many
weeks drilling the Lykens Valley vein
fourteen feet thick has been struck.
As the colliery tract comprises $500
acres, the existence of this vein in all
sections would mean that about II 600
600 tons of the finest quality of coal
are available. Twenty more drillings
in widely scattered spots are to be
made, but the existence of the vein at
Hickory Ridge, two miles east, and
Marion Heights. one mile south, is so
we'll established that the extension is
virtually certain to embrace the entire
Natalie tract. That being the case,
the colliery. lcng idle, will soon re-
sumo. The stock of the Anthracite
Coal Company, the owner, is held by
the bond holders of the defunct Ma
talie Coal Company, comprising the
Columbia, the German and the Third
National Banks, all of PittsbuTg. The
news of the find has sent up the stock

TO GUARD THE
RAILROAD CROSSINGS

j. K. Turk, superintendent of this
division of the p. & r. Railway, ac-
compauicd by J. w. DeMoyer, assist
ant, came to Danville in his private
car Monday in response to COM
munication from Council, calling the
p & K. Company's attention to the
unprotected and unsafe condition of
their several railroad crossings in
town, notably the Center street cross
ing at which place two accidents were
narrowly averted recently.
Accompanied by Chief Burgess Pur-
sci Councilman J. II. GOeser and Sec
retary of Borough Harry Patton the
officials went carefully over the ground
Superintendent Turk expressed himself
as firmly impressed with the danger
Gus condition of Center street cross
ing, which he regards as the worst in
Dauville Conditions at the next cross
ing, Spruce street, are regarded as but
little better.
The officials were very courteous and
their attitude toward the matter i'll
hand was such as to indicate that re-
lief will be Forthcoming. The officials
seem 10 regard a system of electric
bells as more efficaoious than a watch
man. although it would not prove less
expensive. In every instance where
bells have been installed, they say, the
results are most satisfactory and no
accidents have occurred.
One of the Railroad company s cleo
trlcians will next visit Danville to
make estimates, etc. Until he has &C
cOmplished his task nothing will be
definitely done by the Railroad COM
pany. But il is generally regarded as
settled that Danville will get a watch
man at Center street or system of
electric bells that will take care of all
the p & r. crossings.

PAVEMENT AND

The Commissioners decided to deco

OF July. A contract was awarded to
John H. Bangert for decorating the
front of both the Court House and the
County Jail.
Our County Commissioners are cer-
tainly entitled to credit not only for

EieCtriCian'S Close Call.

Borough Electrician Jones was bad
ly shocked Saturday night aud alto
gether had rather close call.
Due to short circuit, which caused
the wire to burn off, the arc light at
the corner of Church aud East Market
streets dropped to the ground The
electrician being apprised of the oc-
currence hurried to the spot There
were reasons for believing that the
wires at that point were dead but Mr..
Jones in Tighting matters got hold OF
one that carried a current. Unable to
releise his hand he was thrown for
ward helpless.
The few bystanders fearful of com
ing IN contact with the electrical cur
rent and not knowing what to do were
nearly frantic when Joseph Weidman,
al attache of the Standard Electric
Light Company providentially happen
90 along. Joseph knew precisely What
TO do and approaching the electrician
administered bis body sharp quick
blow with the foot which had the eff
feet of disentangliug him from the
wire although the Tescuer from the
9ht contact himself got shock,
which sent him reeling. Valuable as
i-tauce was also rendered by Seth

BITTEN BY
A SAVAGE DOG

Evidently tue dogs running at large
in Danville are becoming great nuis-
ance and a source of danger Last week
several cases were reported in which
persons where seriously bitten and yes
terday George Reifsnyder, the we'll
known contractor, became the victim
of an unprovoked assault by big dog,
which holds forth in Groves Court.
1t happened about one o'clock. Mr..
Reifsnyder was walking along Church
street when the dog came up beside
him and seized him in the calf of the
leg. The brute hung on, vioiously sink
ing his teeth deep into the flesh and it
was with difficulty that he was Undue
ed to release his hold. Mr.. Reifsnyder
was nearly overcome with pain. which
shot upward affecting nearly the whole
limb. He made his way to the office
of DR.. Curry where the wound was
cauteriZed and treated. The dog was
at once ordered to be killed
Inquiries have been made of the
Morning News as TO provisions exist
ing in the Borough Ordinance relating
to dogs which might afford relief to
the public in the premises. The Bor-
ouRh Fathers who formulated our pres
ent sordinance evidently believed that
the dog is the friend of man and
they gave him. except under rare con-
ditions, the freedom of the town. The
ordinance provides for the taxati on of
dogs and also that whenever by resolu-
tion thu Borough Council shall order
and require dogs to be properly and
securely muzzled it shall not be law
full for the owners to permit such
dogs unmuzzled to run at large in.
upon the streets or alleys of the
town. Five dollars is the penalty.
Inssmuoh as it requires an effort to re-
call time when a resolution was pass
ed requiring the muzzling of dogs, or
at least when such resolution was
generally enforced, it will be seen that
our Borough Fathers re not hard on
the dogs.
Under the circumstances it may not
seem strange that dogs good. bad and
indifferent have multiplied in the Bor
ough until rs has been demonstr sted
by the occurrences of the last week or
so they have become positive an
noyance and source of danger, 1t is
all right to shoot dog after he has
bitten some one, but it would be bet
ter to take time by the forelock and
resort to some measure that would
prevent people from being bitten.
