DANVILLE LOST
FIRST GAME

The local team lost the first game OF
the series with the Cuban Chants Mon
dav afternoon at DeWitt's Park. The
game was hotly contested from the
start and as both pitchers were IN
warm weather shape the hits came
slow, and runs still slower. Sampson
for the visitors allowed but two hits
and McCloud held the dark wonders
down to eight hits whiah several times
resulted in runs.
The audience was composed OF peo-
rIe who know how the game should
he PLAYED, and the applause was lib
eral for both teams. The visitors,
always on the alert, gathered IN sew
eraI which looked like safe ones, aud
the home team seemed anxious to eX-
| Gel their opponents in thrilling plays.
Logan, always in the game, knock
ed one dowh which everybody thought
was a safe hit, throwing his man out
at first after which the applause was
terrific Too much cannot be said OF
the way all the players handled the
ball in Yesterdays game and the fact
was again demonstrated that the locals
always acquit themselves creditably
when playing against high grade
club.
The crowd was smaller than was ex.
pected but with favorable weather to.
day the attendance will no doubt be
much larger.

Fourth of july Warning

The able statistiCian of the Chicago
Tribune tabulates the Fourth of July
casualties and fire losses. In ten years
100 persons were;killed and ., 593 in
jured. more or less seriously, on In
dependence day III ten cities The fire
losses reached the snug sum Of s., G59,
OOO.
This is proof that Americans are
patriotic, but can we not prove our
patriotism in some less costly aud less
deadly way:
Much of the shooting and most Of
the self-destruction is by children.
With them patriotism doesn't count 50
much as having just jolly good time
Most of them do not understand eX-
cept in the vague.t way the historic
signi nitioance OF the day, and their en-
thusiasm is less of tribute to Amer
lea than TO China. 1t was the latter
country that invented fire crackers
Is it not worthy of consideration
that if we do not soon have a Fourth
of July reform we shall soon come to
know 1t as the Slaughter of the Innoc-
entss
After all, we ought not to kill more
people in celebrating the war of In
dependence than were killed in the
war itself

Another Awning is Removed

praise for the manner in which they

New Safety Appliance

New safety regulations concerning
the transportation and handling of ex-
plosives were put into effect on the
Pennsylvania Railroad Monday as th g
result of the careful investi CATION of
the subject since the big wreck at
South Harrisburg.
These new rules are contained III
general notice No Ia A. which sup
ersedes the regulations which have
been in force since september %, 1899.
Importance of the new rules becomes
doubly great since they probably will
be taken as the basis for reCOmmenda-
tiOns to the railroads of the country 3,
which a special committee OF the Am
erican Railway Association will make
at the fall convention
Chief among the changes in old me-.
thods are First, that explosives shall
be carried only on fast freight trains
of not more than thirty cars. two
thirds of which shall be under air
brakes Second, that no high explos-
ives, containing more than sixty per
cent Of nitroglycerine except gelatin
dynamite, will be carried, aud, third,
that high explosives must be packed
in strong wood boxes made of lumber
not less than half inch in tmcknes :.
Explosives are put in six classes,
with special rules governing the load
ing, marking and transportation of
each. packages being limited to one
hundred pounds, so that, should the
need arise. one man could handle them.
Carloads of explosives will be re-
ceivsd only on Mondays and Thurs
days less than car load lots any day
except Saturday. In making up trains.
only one car loaded with explosives
and marked accordingly, will be put
in each train 1t shall be placed in the
middle of the train with bOX car "A t
each end, but in no case closer to the
locomotive than the distance of ten
cars.
In case of wreck. the first duty Of
employees is to prevent fire. Before
clearing up wreck explosives are to
be carefully removed to place of safe
ty. Only steel underframe box cars,
equipped with air brakes and in first
class condition, so that no sparks can
get inside, can be used.
