"OLD DYNAMITE"
AGAIN RUNS AMUKE

For the third time in the past month
the horse belonging to Thomas Tooey,
and popularity known rs "Old Dyna-
mite" ran away. TIE animal eyi-
IDENTIFY believes in the charm that lies
in certain numbers; for he made his
third performance more thorough and
exciting than any of his previous es-
capades. He got away from two driv-
ers, narrowly missed running iuto q
moving passenger train on the ID. l..
& W, and finally landed at Grovania.
Howard Russell, Mr. Tooey's driver,
had been delivering groceries on Up
per Mulberry street, and was returning
to Mill street, when the horse took
fright on aCcount of the wagon strik
ing his legs. The animal dashed down
Spruce to Mil street, and then up Mill
on mad gallop to the Post Office
where he was caught At the First
National Bank, Mr.. Russell, seeing
that he could do nothing with the
horse, dropped out OF the rear of the
wagon.
The horse was turned around, and
Willie Gross offered to drive the amin
al to the stable in the rear of the Ho
tel Oliver where he is kept. He had
scarcely started when the wagon
again struck the horses legs, and off
he started down the street, the wagon
rolling from side to side aud the horse
striking fire at every jump. In front
of the Lyon building a horse and bug
gy were tied. The runaway struck the
carriage bur glanced off, breaking only
several spokes in one of the wheels Of
the buggy.
When "OId Dynamite started from
the Post Office on his return trip,
passenger train was jlst passing
the Mill street crossing. As the terrifi
ed animal dashed on toward the train,
the people who crowded the streets
held their breath and waited for the
crash that seemed inevitable. Many
thought that young Gross was still in
the wagon, not having seen him drop
from the rear end Of the vehicle as the
runaway passed the cauAl. But "Old
Dynamite was lucky. tn last car
passed the crossing and the gates rails
ed just in time to allow him TO dash
by and avert a collision by the frac-
tion of a second.
He turned up Bloom street and final
ly landed in Mr.. Stonge's barn at
Grovania Mr.. Tooey took the next
trolley after the runaway aud recover
ed tho horse at Grovania. The wagon
was not damaged, and the horse es-
capped with the loss of a shoe.

BENEFIT OF
THE LIBRARY

1t is often the case that when a COM
munity is the possessor of some in.
stitution that is of great benefit to per-
sons in all walks of life, full appre-
citation of the benefits derived is lost
sight of after while and the interest,
which may at first have been intense,
gradually lessons, and perhaps alto
gether ceases to exist
There is in DanvIlle, however, an
institution-The Thomas Beaver Free
Library-that from the time of its es-
tablishment has been fully appreciat-
ed, and is arousing greater interest
each year of its existence.
The benefits of our Library can hard
ly be reckoned, SO great and far reach
ing are the results OF the learning,
broad mindedness and innocent amuse-
ment derived there from. The shelves
contain IL, 172 books, comprising treat
ises upon almost every known subject.
State and National reports and pam
phlets, of which there are great num-
bers, are not counted in the above to.
tai. A glance at the circulation re-
port for the year 1904 will show the
enormous amount of reading that is
due to the institution,

Excitement on Till Street

O'Clock, yesterday afternoon.
The animal was being driven up

A spirited horse drawing buggy
and making considerable noise, came
up behind at rapid pace. The latter
jumped to the east side of the street
at the sight of the mail wagon, then
broke into a gallop. Its movements

the icy brick pavement, startled Mr..
Stetler's horse, causing it to kick up

fastened behind the cross piece OF the
shafts. After making a few tremen-
dous plunges in vain effort to ex-
tricate itself from the trap, the horse
coolly sguatted down on the shafts
and made no further effort to assist it.
self.
The harness was quickly unfasten-
ed, and an effort made by number OF
men who had gone to Mr.. Stetler's aid,
to push the wagon away from the
horse with the hope of releasing the
imprisoned hoof. The attempt was
failure, because of the weight of the
horse on the shafts and the peculiar
manner in which the foot was wedged
behind the cross bar. The harder the
men pushed upon the wagon, the hard
or the horse bore down upon its frail
support.
Then another plan was adopted. The
men laid hold of the horse and tried
to raise it to an upright position, with
view of relieving the shafts OF its
weight and then draw the hoof out of
the trap by hand or, in case that it
could not be accomplished in that
manner, to try the pushing act again.
Both failed. Then the horse fell to
the pavement and broke shaft. Af-
ter that it was an easy matter to re-
lease the foot and get the horse on its
feet again.
With the exception of being little
stiff in the leg for awhile after being
set free, the horse was uninjured Be-

NAPHTHA BOATS
PERILOUS TRIP

The naphtha launch made d trip
across the river about 2 80 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, that it will not like
ly repeat under similar circumstances.
At least some of the passengers who
were on board at the time, will not un.
der any consideration. One of the lat
ter, after gaining landing and feel.
ing sure that he was on solid ground
once more, was heard to say: my
heart was in my mouth during the
whole trip, and no amount of money
would induce me to undertake 10
again.
The boat started to cross from the
South side with the intention of per-
suing the regular course. 1t was
weighted down with six large men and
a box containing a live calf. The ice
was thick and the current was swift
and strong, owing 10 the present
high water. To pIow straight through
such powerful obstacles was an impos-
sibility, and the only way to get across
and avoid an accident was to steer
around them in some mannar. Even
that was perilous undertaking The
rear of the boat was sunk to nearly
the level of the wafer, and the calf
was likely tc get excited at any time
and cause trouble by upsetting the
snail craft and dumping everybody
over board.
By using poles to force some OF the
cakes of ice out of the course and skill.
fully lodging around others, the boat
was kept from getting in forcible
contact with any of the obstacles that
threatened to engulf it. The journey

that some of them became alarmed at
the situation. In the attempt TO keep
on clear water, and away from the Ice
the boat was carried some distance be-

the landing above the bridge the boat,
practically, had only the current to
contend with, the water there being
quite free of floating ice, and the trip

with less danger. The ferry landing

1.-The Moonshiner's Daughter. p"

"The Moonshiner's Daughter" will
be the attraction at the Opera House
on Saturday evening. From the ex
cellent satisfaction which the play has
been giving elsewhere it surely must
not alone be thoroughly enjoyable
production but a positive meritorious
melodrama from every standpoint.
The play is a charming love story set
in an atmosphere OF the hills OF Ken
tucky and Tennessee.
1t deals with the lives Of those sturdy
specimens of mankind for whom ths
Government has officers constantly on
the lookout-the Muonshiners. There
is a very realistic encounter between
Moonshiners and revenue men in which
the latter try to destroy the still and
capture its owners. The mysterious
execution of the Moonshiners, the
lynching Of the Negro Sam, are all
vividly and startlingly portrayed. The
comedy element fairly bubbles ovel

Agitating a River Cable.

People are yet of the opinion that
cable car used in crossing the river
here would be just the thing and true
it would be from every standpoint OF
view. But it is believed by some that
the bridge will be built during the
coming summer and then to 60 to the
expense of constructing cable for she
three remaining months of the winter.
including the present month, it would
not seem right. While some are OF this
opinion others believe that we viii be
without bridge for another winter.
and in this latter case the construction
of a cable seems the only relief.
Many persons from this vicinity have
seen the cable operated about mines or
between mountains and that it would
be practicable and perfectly safe here

quehanna League. 1t was a fine ex-

half that either side had more than the
slightest advantage.
The final sco.e Of 2l-l9 in favor OF

strength of the two teams.
The visitors played a very pretty
passing game. Danville, on the other
hand did not pass the ball we'll, bot
often tried TO take it down the floor
by dribbling or other means.
The game was very close through
