ED IN THIRTY DAYS

An adjourned meeting of the Bor-
ough Council was held on Saturday
evening to take up business unfinished
at the regular session the evening be-
1 fore. President Gibson was i'll the
chair. Other members present were :
| Vastine, Reifsnyder. Boyer, Dietrich.
! Sweisfort. Dietz, Jacobs, Hughes,
Msgill.
The principal business ON hand re-
lated to the bond of the Danville aud
Sunbury Street Railway Company,
which had formed the subject of q
prolonged discussion the evening be-
fore. There we're two minor points in
volved on which the Borough and the
trolley company differed. One of these
related to the manner in which both
of the companies should be held ie-
sponsible for what might occur on
that portion of the track in the Bor.
ough which by private agreement will
be used by the two lines jointly; the
other point had to do with the time
limit in the clause inserted in the
bond ut the special meeting of Council
On last Saturday night a week ago in
which the trolley company agreed that
if permitted to put down the rails un-
loaded Oh East Market street it would
remove the same and replace them
with rails similar to what are used on
Mill street in ten days time, whenever
the Borough should desire to pave.
The contention of the trolley coin
pany Friday night was that in fixing
! definite time limit in the bond it
was binding itself in an obligation
which unforeseen circumstances might
make it impossible to fulfill. 1t asked
that substitution be made, by which
the trolley company would obligate it.
self to replace the smaller rail with
the larger "as soon as the material
could be procured on ten days no.
tioe." Council, however, could not
see its way clear to accept anything
short of a definite time limit. ..The
differences, however, were very nicely
adjusted on Saturday night
G. O. Yetter. attorney for the Dan
Vile and Sunbury Street Railway, ex-
planned to Council chat during the day
he had a conference with E. s. Gear
hart. Borough Solicitor, and that all
objections as related to the first point
had been overcome. In furtherance of
their plans James Scarlet, Attorney
for the Danville & Bloomsbury Street
Railway Company. was present and
filed legal statement bearing on the
case. which made complications i'm
possible in the event of suit for dam
ages which might involve portion Of
the track used by both companies.
On the latter point relating to the
time limit an agreement was finally
reached, the Dsnville and Sunbury
Street Railway Company agreeing to
replace the rail on the ground with
the Mill street rail within sixty days
time-with the usual limitation as to
strikes, fires. &c.
On motion of Mr.. Reifsnyder. Sec
onded by Mr.. MaRill, the Borough So
lioitor was authorized to prepare a
bond in accordance with the above, the
trolley company meanwhile to be per
mitted to begin work in the Borough

SUBSCRIPTIONS
ARE SLOW

The Citizens Celebration Commit
tee held meeting last evening. Those
present we're: Ralph Kisner, ESQ.,,
Burgess W. G.. Pursel.W. V. Oglesby,
Esq. Jacob Boyer. Johnny Meyer and
f. NJ. Gotwalds.
The time was principally devoted to
considering the question of finances,
which proves to be pretty weighty
proposition. The reports showed that
the solicitors had accomplished very
little and were much discouraged.
They had put forth an earnest effort
but found responses Indifferent and
slow.
The Committee. however, could not
be brought to believe that the citizens
of Danville after due consideration
would fail to measure up to the re-
quirements Of the occasion and deter
mined to press onward and endeavor
to arrange for a demonstration that
will reflect in proper way the pub
lie spirit and enterprise that belongs
to our town.
1t is obvious that q big sum Of money
will be required. Invitations have been
extended and the news Of the demon
stration has been copied into newspap-
ers of neighboring towns. All eyes are
turned toward Danville and the town
Oh the Fourth of July must do itself
proud. To fail in this crisis would be
to invite general ridioule.
1t is very evident that to raise the
money contributions must come not
from one source, but from all sources.
1t is mistake to think that only no.
tells. restaurants and the like. which
appeal to the inner man, will be bene-
fitted by the great influx of visitors.
Indirectly, there is scarcely line of
business but will be benefited. while
as an advertisement of the town and
its fine system of Improvements the big
celebration will have beneficial effect
in which every citizen will share.
Su Inscriptions, therefore, should not be
limited to any class of business peo-
pie, but should take in every citizen
who has an interest in his town.
The solicitors will start out again.
and endeavor to bring the facts as pre-
sented above before those they ap-
proach and they will approach in
manner every one.

To Prevent Township Bankruptcy

An act to which Governor Penuy-
packer has attached his signature few
days ago will remedy an expensive
abuse in many of the COMMITTEES In this
state. Under the provisions Of the
act all judgments given by justices Of
the peace against townships, boroughs
or school districts must be filed with
the prothonotary within one week
from the time Of the rendition OF judg-
ment. Heavy taxpayers in many
counties have had large burdens in the
shape of taxes placed upon them owing
to the loose methods in which judg-
ments have been given against munic-
ipalities and school districts.

EXCEPTIONAL
CASE ACTED Upon

That the school law is very sweep
ing in its provisions relating to vac
cination and leaves school authorities
no alternative but to comply in all
cases was we'll illustrated by II matter
acted upon by the local School Board
Monday night.
Borough Superintendent Gordy call
ed attention to case in Fourth
Ward school where a pupil recently
admitted was found not to have been
vaccinated. The attention of the par
ents was called to law on vaccination,
but they explained that the family
physician had refused to vaccinate the
child owing to her weakly condition.
she being in poor health. Superin-
tendent Gordy explained that the law
makes no exceptions of cases, and held
that inssmuch as the girl was not
strong enough to be vaooinated the
natural inference would be that she
was not physically able to bear the
strain of study and had better be out
of school. He. however, permitted the
pupil to attend until he could bring
the matter before the School Board.
A parallel case had never occurred
in the Borough before. The School
Board was disposed to be lenient in
the matter but after consulting the
school law ON motion Of Mr.. Trum-
bower the action of Superintendent
Gordy was sustained and it was decid-
ed that the pupil, unvaccinated, must
remain out Of school.
This may seem like harsh ruling
but the law on the subjec6 admits OF
no other course.
Tie school law provides that prin-
cipals or other persons in charge must
refuse admission of any child to the
schools except on certificate signed
by physician setting forth that such
child has been successfully vaccinated
or that it previously had the small
pox. No exceptions are limited at To
add to the strength of the law heavy
penalty is attached and any superin-
tendent or other person having charge
of schools who fails to comply with
the requirements of the act above quot
ed is liable to fine of not less than
five dollars nor more than one hundred
dollars and in default of payment
thereof must undergo imprisonment.
Superintendent Gordy presented the
report for the eighth month of school,
which revealed very small falling off
in attendance notwithstanding the ap-
proach of summer. when pupils are apt
to drop out Of school.
The number of male pupils register
ed to date, 636; female pupils, 665 !;
total, 1901. Number of male pupils in
attendance during month, 577 female
pupils. GIG; total. 1893. Average daily

The familiar horseshoe magnet Is
made OF highly tempered steel and
magnetized so that one end is a north
pole, the other a south or perhaps more
commonly known as a negative and a
positive. Once magnetized 1t is always
magnetic unless the power is drawn
from it by exposure to intense heat.
An electromagnetic, however, can be
made from any scrap Of soft iron, from
a piece Of ordinary telegraph wire to a
gigantic iron shaft. When current
OF electricity passes through an insulat-
ed wire coiled about a soft iron object
such as nail, bolt or rod, that OBJ
ject becomes magnet as long as a
current Of electricity is passing through
the coils of wire or helix. A coil of
wire In the form of q spiral spring has
q stronger field than straight wire
carrying the same current, for each
turn or convolution adds its magnetic
field to that OF the other turns, and by
having the center of the coil of iron,
which is magnetic body, the strength
of the magnetism is greatly increased
