Will be in Use Saturday.

Pursuant to the action of Council
City CLERK Patton yesterday placed an
order for one dozen garbage cans with
a Philadelphia firm. The cans are ex-
peoted to arrive in a few days and
will no doubt be installed by Saturday
night.
1t is very essential that the public
should understand fully to what uses
the garbage cans are to be put. 1t is
not the intention that they are to be.
come receptacles for any Of the waste
and offall left over from the curb
stone market. which is gathered mp
aud hauled away by men especially
employed for that task. They are to
be used for other articles of diverse
sorts such as circulars, newspapers,
wrappers, peanut shells. banana peels,
&c, which scattered about. help to
make the streets look very untidy. 1t
has been observed that even when the
paved street has been thoroughly clean
ed on Saturday evening by Sunday
morning it presents a very dirty ap-
pearenoe due to the thoug ughtlessness of
people in throwing everything they
want to get rid Of out upon the street.
1t is necessary that people educate
themselves up to the use of the garbage
can, as they will be given no choice
in the matter and will be compelled to
make use of them as directed. The
law recently enacted by the Legislat-
ure imposes penalty for throwing
articles of the sort enumerated above
upon the street. Even nails. screws
and the like, which often injure horses
feet, come in under the act and must
be kept off the street.
While enforcing the act the Borough
is not obliged to procure garbage cans
the measure has been merely adopted
by Council in order to bring abou
habits of tidinoss among the people
and assist in the observance of the
law

pRANK BUCKER'S
BAD INJURY

FRANK Bucher. of Sunbury, son of
Samuel Bucher. of Riverside, a brake
man in the employ of the Pennsyl.
Vania Railroad Company, Monday
passed through the second railroad ae.
oident in year. again sustaining in-
1uries of very serious nature.
Frank, who is an extra brakeman.
Monday morning was assigned to duty
in the r Yard. About 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon he fell under the
wheels. two oars passing over him
His left foot was crushed, his collar
bone was broken and he was lacerated
and bruised all over his body.
He was taken to the Mary M. Pack
er Hospital for treatment. Miss Eliza
beth Bucher. sister of the injured man,
came up to South Danville from Sun
bury on the 30 train. About 6 80
O'Clock she called up the hospital by
phone to learn the particulars as to
iieF UTotner cOnulIlOn.
The amputation of the left foot had
then already been performed, the MEM
ber being taken off at the instep. 1t
was statsd by the hospital authorities
that Franks condition was critical al.
though there was no immediate dang
er of any serious developments. He
was conscious. although as above stat
ed his collar bone was broken aud he
was cut and bruised from head to foot.
There is also the probability of inter.
nal injuries, which may not develop
until later
Frank had an exceedingly close ca II

of which lie hovered between life and
death for some days.

DON'T VIOLATE
THE LAWS

The Government is entailinr a yery
heavy expense in establishing and
maintaining rural free delivery of our
mails, and it is proving such con-
venience to the people. that very few
who havs experienced it's advantages
would be willing to do without it.
But the Government expects to be
reimbursed for it's great outlay, by an
increased amount of mail to be carri.
ed, on which postage is to be paid, and
1t expects everybody to play fair in
this matter. 1t is. therefore, required
that all mail matter dropped into a
bux must have the requisite amount of
postage stamps on it,, or a sufficient
amount of money in the box to pay
the postage, and anything found in a
box, which is not thus stamped or has
not enough cash with it to pay the
postage, is to be lifted by the carrier
and brought to the. post office where it
will be "held for postage" according
to law.
We have published this fact before,
but there are some who. it seems, have
not learned the fact or else think they
can slip in letter to a friend by drop
ping it into his letter box. their line
OF reasoning probably being that as
the letter need not be handled by any
government official, there need be no
Postage paid on it. But those boxes
are erected under the protecting care
OF government and thus form part of
the post office department, although
paid for by the individual, and, there
fore, nothing can be permitted to pass
through them without postage being
paid thereon.
Carriers. who are expected to be OBJ
liging aud accommodating, have no
choice in the matter, as their instruc-
tions are imperative, to lift every piece
Of mailable matter found in a box, fer
which there is not provision for post
age, and if the postage is not forth
coming in a specified time the mssive
is sent to the Dead Letter Office.
Let everybody play fair. therefore,
with the government, and there will
be no cause for complaint if intended
notes dropped into letter boxes fail to
reach their destination.

New Safety Appliance.

New safety regulations concerning
the transportation and handling Of ex-
plosives we're put into effect on the
Pennsylvania Railroad Monday as tn Q
result of the careful investigation of
the subject since the big wreck at
South Harrisburg.
These new rules are contained in
general notice No. 174 A, which sup
ersedes the regulations which have
been in force since september 20. 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,
which 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 nitroglyoerine except gelatin
dynamite, will be carried, and, third.
that high explosives must be packed
in strong wood boxes made of lumber
not less than half inch in thicknes g.
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-
oeivsd 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 t
each end, but in no case closer to the
locomotive than the distan CO 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.

ELECTRICAL DISPLAY
FOR July FOURTH

There ia a sentiment abroad, in
which one or more of the Oouncilmen
share, that the Borough should take
some part in the preparations for the
demonstration on Fourth of July.
This. 1t is held, is eminently proper.
rs the generally accepted idea is that
the demonstration is gotten up as much
to signalize the completion OF munioi-
pal improvements as to celebrate the
Fourth of July.
No lavish expenditure Of publi
money is required. The Borough in
owning its own electric light plant is
very fortunately situated and could
contribute very novel and striking
feature to the days decorations with
comparatively small cost. 1t is sug
gestad that the Borough make an cleo
trioal display. An arch or structure
of some other sort erected at the canal
culvert, Mill street, and decorated with
the stars and stripes and vari lored
electric light bulbs seems to meet the
popular idea. This would be especial
ly fitting, as the electric light employ
ed would come from the Borough q
own plant, one of the municipal im-
provements being celebrated in the
days demonstration.
OF the various structures that might
suggest themselves the arch would
probably be the most appropriate for
the spot. 1t is recalled that the ma
terial used in the arch erected by the
Friendship Fire Company in one of
Danville's big days of the past was
carefully stored away by the owners
with view of finding use for it again
in the future. The Friendship Fire
Company is always progressive and
full of public spirit aud there is no
doubt but that an arrangement could
be effected whereby the Borough would
be permitted to use the arch. which
could be very easily reconstructed.
1t ia hoped that our Borough Faith
ers will take kindly to the suggestion
and see their way clear to thus assist
in the decorations. Whatever Is done,
however, will have to be done quick
ly, as barely two weeks intervene be-
tween the present and Independence
Day.

School Athletics.

The subject Of school athletics is at
traoting much attention of late, both
in Pennsylvania and New York, since
it las been found that the health of
the public school children in cities is
defective far beyond anything the in
spectors had anticipated. Much of this
weakness is traced to lack of fresh air
and facilities for active exercise, and
so pressing is the need for improving
the physical development of the pupils
chat in New York a Public School
Athletic League was formed of promi-
nent business men to interest the boys
in athletics.
So successful was this league that
just the other day the Board of Esti-
mates authorized 5000. 600 for the pur-
chase of athletic fields for school boys.
More than 10000 boys have entered
this year in the preliminary rounds of
the Spring contests, and as no pupil is
allowed to compete unless he is up to
the standard in conduct and studies,
buo duu BOOu cnoCb
o. school athletics is quite as marked
as the physical.
Recently at the Friends yearly meet
ing in Philadelphia, this question was
widely discussed. President Swain,
of Swarthmore College, was most en-
phatio in his favor of sports, declaring
Every boy and girl must have the
playground. Experience of twenty five
years with the young convinces me
that the athletic field is a necessity I"

cent. of all bank clerks die of oonsump-
