A Phenomenal rlarch Day.

1t is certainly novel experience to
hear people complaining of the heat
in the month of March, not heat that
is only relative, but summer heat and
the genuine article at that with the
thermometers establishing records that
would do credit to the latter part of
June To add still further to the an
omaly while these conditions prevailed
many of the hydrants about town, froz-
en- last winter, had not yet melted out
and less than week had elapsed since
the ice stopped running on the Susque-
hanna.
Notwithstanding the heat, the idle
question, Is it warm enough for you -
was not much INDUCED in yesterday /;
people were after real information and
as the perspiring individual took off
his hat and mopped his brow he asked
in tone that betrayed a suggestion of
petulencc
"Say, how hot is itl?" To answer
that question it was only necessary to
take glance at any of the thermomet-
ers on duty along the street. They
were all working hard. At the Mon-
tour House mercury stood as follows ::
5 80 a. m. ,46 degrees; at IL M, rs de.
grees; at 2 p. m. so degrees. At South
Danville at noon it was n degrees; at
2 p. m. it was s3 degrees. At Q 80 p.
m. the thermometer in front of Jacob
Goss' barber shop. Mill street, which
was exposed to the sun, registered 100
degrees. The latter was the degree Of
heat that pedestrians we're exposed to
who had business on the sunny side Of
Mill street.
There was very little air stirring
aud to measure the full degree of dis
comfort allowance mast be made for
the fact that as a rule humanity was
wrapped in winter clothing and that
the houses were still warmed artifici-
ally. 1t was about the same thing as
though a person few days before the
Fourth of July should fire up his
house, get into heavy woolen clothing
aud then vigorously strive to keep
cool
March has undoubtedly produced a
few record breakers before, but wheth-
er the weather bureau knows of an
other March day quite as hot as yes.
terday is fact that many people are
desirous of finding out.

Engineer and Contractor Here.

B. H. Starr, of Philadelphia, Chief
Engineer, and William 8. Markee. con-
tractor of the Danville and Sanbury
Electric Railroad Company arrived in
this city yesterday to be on hand for
the beginning of work on that line.
Representatives of the firm of Oald-
we'll, Barry g. Company. which has the
contract for laying the flooring and
the trolley track on the bridge were
expected to arrive in this city yester-
day, but owing to some delay they
failed to put in an appearance.
Meanwhile work is advancing very
rapidly on the bridge. The work of
riveting down the buckle plates IS
about completed. The floor on the
lower sidewalk for nearly three spans
is laid. But little more would seem
to remain undone, but to finish the
lower sidewalk aud complete the rivet-
ing of the overhead work. Workmen
yesterday we're engaged in inserting
bolts in the upper sidewalk which
were omitted in the hurry incidental
to getting that part of the bridge ready
for traffic.

its annual session in York, continuing
for three days. The meetings will be
held on the third floor of Odd Fellows

pies of Pennsylvania will be represent.
ed by delegates. With these represen-

Past grand templar, Mrs. Bell Stem

plar; Mrs. Sarah North, Philipsburg,
grand templar; Mrs. Lizzie y. Lock
hart, of Philadelphia, grand vice tenn
plar, and Mrs. Maria O. Barnes. Johns

guardian of records and grand guard
ian of exchequer, at least, will be re.
| elected. There are no York candidates
for grand temple officers.
Tuesday night. May 8, will be spent
at the High School auditorium, where

nearly 1000 mem bers Of the uniform
ed division of the Pennsylvania Knights

ant cities in the state. In addition to
these will be large delegations from
subordinate castles from towns far and

cession will contain several thousand
men and women.

A New Base Ball Venture.

A meeting was held last night, at
which final arrangements were made
that secure for our town the coming
season a good winning base ball team
made up in part of home players.
8. A. Mccoy was delegated by the
Oanville Base Ball Association to meet
a number of players, who propose to
conduct a team on the cooperative
plan. The meeting was held at Gosh g
drug store. An agreement was enter
ed into whereby for a nominal consid-
Grafton the club of players was grant
ed the use of the Old Timers uniforms
for the season.
Several of the players each will put
a sum of money in the enterprise. Ad-
ditional funds will be realized from an
entertainment in the Opera House for
the benefit of the Base Ball Club by
Smith aud James, Home Talent Minst-
rels which will probably be held on
the first Saturday after Easter.
The new club proposes to equip it.
self in good style. 1t will be made up
principally of home players. the best
to be found in Danville. What va
cancies exist will be filed with semi
professionals from abroad. Nothing
will be omitted to give our town a
good, fast base ball team. The season
will probably open about May 27th.

Inspection of Company f.

The annual inspection of Company
F. Twelfth Regiment, N. q. p, took
place in the Armory last night and was
| conducted by Major CLARK. of WILL
Transport. Major F. P. Fremont. of
the Regular Army was also present.
Major Fremont's presence lent ad-
ditional interest to the inspection.
He is the son of General J. g. FIRE.
mont, whose untiring explorations and
brilliant military career made him
famous the world over. Major Ere.
mont. who is man OF middle life, is
himself soldier of distinction and
has rounded out 2s years in the United
States Army.
His business last night was not to
take any active part in the inspection,
but merely to make out an independ-
ent report and forward it to head
quarters. The government desires to
know what degree of efficiency exists
in the National Guard and which of
the various companies of any one regi-
uoht aiO tiio pOoo anu Couiu
render efficient service II called upon
Immediately to quell labor trouble.
Major Fremont stated that the Ma
tional Guard of Pennsylvania is very
highly esteemed by the government as
a factor in preserving reace. At pres
ent the Pennsylvania guard is having
hard lines, and is likely not to show
up exceedingly we'll this spring owing
to the new tactics recently adopted
and the entirely new principle involv-
ed in drill. He foresees better days for
the Guard when the new srmory bill
becomes law. He even hopes to see
the day when the Guardsmen will be
paid for attending drill. At present
many sacrifices are exacted of the
members of the National Guard.
Company f was subject to very
rigid inspection last night. There was
good attendance, forty-four includ-
ing officers being present. As to the
result of the inspection. of course.
nothing will be known until after the
inspectors report is turned in to the
government.
Major O. P. Gearhart was also pres.
ent at the inspection.
