And the Caronia's Captain
Took the Proper Course.
Grounded Ship to Avoid Ram
ming Steamer Or Schooner.
Tugs Move Big Graft SlghtIy--Passengers
on Board..No Danger.

New York, May 1.-THE big Cunard
liner Caronia is. tonight. still fast on
FLYNN Knoll. of Sandy Hook. where
she grounded while making her way out
to sea in the thick weather. Tuesday
afternoon. When high tide came. this
afternoon. six powerful tugs and Il
steam pilot boat strained and pulled
at many hawsers and the big ship
turned her own screws in an effort 10
slide her bows from the mud. When the
tide was at its height the Caronia's
stern was swung around quite a dis
tance and the tug men says she was
also moved slightly nearer the channel.
but all efforts to entirely free her failed
and with darkness and a falling tide
the helpless vessels crew suspended
operation.
The Cunard agents express confidence
in being able to free the ship with high
water. tomorrow morning. but today S
tide was said by watermen to be un-
usually high. 1t is reported that If she
does not float. tomorrow. portion Of
the cargo in the forward holds will be
lightered.
Tile marine observers at Sandy Hook
report the weather as cloudy and fog
yy with the wind blowing fresh breeze
from the northeast.
Tie Caronia keeps her big whistle 60
ing for she lies on the edge Of the main
ship channel. directly in the path of
incoming vessels. As the weather is
calm with no sign of the wind increas-
ing. the only danger to the vessel is in
that of collision.
A report was in circulation. tonight.
that the passengers were becoming dis
satisfied and wished to be removed
from the vessel. This. however. was de-
MED by Vernon HI. Brown. the Cunard
agent, who returned from the Caronia,
tonight. Mr.. Brown says the passengers
were making the best Of the situation
and that none of them desired to leave
the ship.
Mr.. Brown said the accident was
caused by the Caronia having to choose
to ram the Kaiser Wilhelm II, a schoon-
er. or run out of her course and she
took the latter alternative, going
aground
At o'clock, tonight. the Sandy Hook
observers reported that the wind was
light from the northeast and much sea
on. 1t was still foggy.

Buying Supplies for Hospital.

Our townsmen W. l.. Gouger aud
Fl. M. Schoch. who compose the sup
ply committee of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Hospital for the Insane
spent Yesterday at that institution in
the interest of some purchases needed
to keep the big house running.
Messrs. Gouger and Sohoch both be.
ing in the mercantile business prove
we'll adapted 20 the purchasing of sup.
plies. Their business at the hosp ital
yesterday was to look over large
number of samples aud to place an
order for coffee. Left to guess lust
how much of this essential article of
diet is needed at the Hospital each
year the reader would no doubt 60
wide of the mark.
THE orders placed yesterday were
for six months and represented just
ten thousand pounds. For year. of
course just double that quantity is re
quired-twenty thousand pounds or
ten tons. Some fifty-five pounds are
consumed daily.
. The Hospital uses one or other
brands of Rio coffee. The patients are
very particular about their coffee and
unless it is of strong sort they are
apt to accuse the institution of serv-
ing a diluted article.
1t costs something like quarter of
a million of dollars a year to meet the
running expenses of the Hospital for
the Insane and that very big item of
this goes for coffee is quite evident.

popular with the residents of the coun-
ty and the system is expanding rapid

White Hall and Exchange we're long
ago connected. Within few weeks
past tho line has been extended from
White Hall to Opp's in Lyooming
county. the additional wire with its
numerous spurs and branches, run out
to accommodate patrons, sggregating
something over fifteen miles. Another
branch is being extended in the direc-
tion of Bloomsbury and is already or
aanized as far as Buokhorn, while
actual construction has already begu II
and is nicely under way. Still another
branch is being extended in the direo.
tion of Limestonevillea and has reached
Mr.. Shoop's farms IN Limestone town
ship where two phones will be in
stalled. Mr.. Pettijohn from now on
expects to see the system grow of its
own accord. The rural phone, he
says, has demonstrated its value and
the farmers could not be induced to
dispense with it.
The proposition of the rural phone
will next be submitted to the farmers
on the South Side of she river where
general conditions are such as to ia.
vor the rapid growth of the system
should il once find root.
Mr.. Pettijohn is also establishing
the rural phone on his cooperative
plan in the vicinity of Lewistown.

Electric Signals Grow Erratic.

The electric signal system establish.
ed at the Center and the Spruce street
crossings of the P. g. r. Railway seem
to be hoodooed in some way. The bells
have been source of trouble ever
since they we're installed-quite as
much SO to the Railway Company it
self as to the residents in the vicinity,
who found fault with their incessant
clamor.
No sooner did the company call the
bells off at night so that the people
could sleep within radius of a couple
Of squares, than the signals began to
practice their erratic conduct in the
daytime. Monday morning they be-
gan to ring aud train or no train they
kept on ringing in way that showed
they intended to furnish music all day
long.
There was no alternative but to shut
the signals off and to Install watch
man. One man, stationed at Center
street, was made to answer for both
crossings. When train approached
he merely turned on the signals and
permitted them to ring until the train
was over the Spruce street crossing,
when he turned them off. The watch.
man was still on duty yesterday manip.
ulating the bells as above described.
They were still anxiously awaiting
the arrival of the Oompany's electri-
clan to see what the trouble is with
the bells. Tins far their erratic ring
ing has puzzled those in charge very
much.
