number of our ci tizens interested
in getting up first class mummers'
parade on New Years Day met in the
Grand Jury room last night. The turn
out was not quite what those present
thought it ought to be and the meet
ing adjourned to reconvene in the En-
gine House of the Washington Hose
Company at $50 o'clock on Friday
night next.
The object in meeting in the g rand
Jury room was for the purpose of
creating a more general interest and
to show that there was no disposition
to restrict the houors to the Wash
ington Fire Company. A general at
tendance is desired at the place of
meeting on Friday night.
The time is very short. Last year
the arrangements were begun on Dec
ember 5th., over a week earlier than
the present, and there was no time to
spare. On Friday night committees
will be appointed-one to arrange for
the music. one on finance to raise the
funds required, committee on floats,
as the intention is to interest the
merchants as last year. and a COM
mittee on prizes. the feature which
contributed so largely to the success
of last years parade.
The sum of money needed will not
be large. Last year $52 paid all the
bills. Thirty-five dollars will be the
maximum sum required this year.

R. c. JACOBS
IN DANVILLE

r. O. Jacob of the Maryland Con-
struction Company arrived at this city
yesterday for the purpose of look ing
over the State Highway and ascertain
ing what prospects there are of COM
pleting work on the road this winter
During last evening he was interview.
ed at the City Hotel.
Mr.. Jacob stated that the company
in view of the open weather had hop
ed to fully complete the highway this
winter. His visit yesterday, however,
| convinced him that it would be i'm
practicable to re-crown the road this
frost in the ground, which interferes
with digging, while circumstance
which adds to the difficulty is the fact
/, that no one can place any reliance up.
on receiving stone with any degree of
regularity at this season of the year.
Add to this. the uncertainty of fair
weather and you have conditions that
are likely to result in long hold ups
in such work az road building, Mr..
Freeman with force of men will
likely remain on the ground a few
days longer making some changes in
grade. drainage. Sc. ,ueeitd d to satisfy
proparty ownets. With the next change
of weather at most he will leave and
there will be- suspension of all work
until next spring
The amount of work required to
bring the road fully up to specifica.
tions is not great and can be finished
up in considerably less than a month.
Mr.. Jacob very much regrets the de-
lay that has occurred and no one feels
the disappointment more keenly than
himself that the work can not be COM
pleted at the present. During the sum
mer he was building State Highway
in Lancaster county. His representa-.
tive, Mr.. Freeman, would have been
here early in the fall. but just as they
we're about to take up the road here
1000 feet more were added to the high
way they were building in Lancaster
county, which detained them. Mr..
Jacob stated that it is his determine.
tion to give Montour county perfect
piece Of State Highway.
The Maryland Construction Com
pany in its relation to the State High
way here has been the victim of SER
les of unfortunate circumstances that
have initiated against success. To be-
gin with the highway here was one of
the first applied for in the State. All
the methods employed, even the plans
themselves. we're new and since then,
as the result of experience, there have
beeu notifications along all lines,
which makes construction of roads lat
er applied for simpler and easier.
Plans and specifications for high
way between Danville and the Valley
township line, If made today, would
bring out altogether different kind
OF road from the one constructed.

Berwick Ferry Founders.

An accident yesterday morning
which would undoubtedly have cost
lives numbering at least hundred
had it occurred at the right time, was
the breaking from its cable of the ferry
boat maintained by the county on the
Susquehanna between Berwick and
Nevopeck, while the bridge is being
rebuilt.
While William Wenner. the regular
ferryman, was absent from the boat
about quarter after eight O'Clock.
Charles Wolf went to the ferry on
the Nescopeok side, and being in a
hurry to cross the river. started the
boat across himself.
Every thing went as usual until the
boat reached point in the stream be-:
tween the second and third piers. At
this point the rope attaching the boat
to the cable slipped off the windlass,
and the big fat was carried by the
current towards the rapids. known as
the Berwick Falls
The mans plight was witnessed by
several persons on shore, but no one
had auy means to save him from his
danger until man named Garter, W ith

CONFERENCE
TOMORROW

The d. L. & W. Railroad Company
manifests keen interest in conditions
here relating to the old canal of " hicl
that corporation is the owner. Ever
since the company's proposition to fill
up the old waterway with the aid OF
the Borough was turned down by
Council last summer the Railroad peo.
pie have been anxious to revive the
matter in some form.
| During an interview with Council.
man J. H. Goeser yesterday it was
learned that g J. Ray. Division En-
gineer of the D. L. g. W. Railroad
Company, will come to Danville to.
morrow morning for the purpose Of
meeting the Sewer Committee of Ooun
Gil and G. F. Keefer. the Borough
Surveyor, the object of the conference
being to see what can be done toward
getting rid of the nuisance on new
basis that will enable the Borough and
the Railroad Company to cooperate in
such a way that will not place too
heavy burden upon the municipality
In what respect the terms will differ
from the former proposition is not
known. but it is hoped that they will
be very generous; otherwise but little
| will come out of 1t. 1t is clear that
the present Council will not agree to
anything like the former proposition.
which provided that the D. L. & W.
Railroad Company pipe the bottom
and the Borough of Danville fill up
the canal. The expense of filling. it
was argued. would be enormous; also
that while the Borough might get rid
of the drainage nuisance, for which 1t
was not responsible. the Railroad Com
pany would be immensely the gamer
by having long strip of land embrao-
ed by the canal improved and enhanc-
ed in value principally at the Bor-
| ouRh's expense.
The outcome of the conference will
no doubt figure in proceedings of
Council tomorrow night. Meanwhile
bhOiO az w Juop
what proportion of the heavy burden
the owners of the old canal will con-
sent to bear in order to wipe out the
nuisance.
The old ditch is not improving any
with the lapse of time. A few weeks
ago, during the dry weather prevail
ing, it was discovered that quantity
of waste matter from the Hospital for
the Insane drained into the canal, pol
luting the bottom throughout the en-.
tire length of the Borough aud render
ing conditions doubly bad. In view of
all the facts it is hoped that the rail
road company will do the right thing
and that Council may see it's way
clear to CO. operate with the owners in
some way that may relieve us of the
canal nuisance before another summer
comes around. The matter should re-
ceive careful consideration by Coun.
Gil.

pennsy Freight Congestion.

The great press of freight traffic in
the Sunbury vision Of the Pennsyl-
vania continues and Nescopeck had a
demonstration of this yesterday.
A train bound frcm Sunbury to
Wilkes Barre was compelled to lay in
the Nescopeck yards from O'Clock
until O'Clock. being unable to GO
even switch farther ON account of
the almost continuous string of trains
from Wilkes. Barre to Sunbury. The
yards were blocked number of times
bat the greatest blockade was at about
3 O'Clock when 10 trains came togeth-
er in the yards. Four freight trains
and the passenger train going toward
Wilkes Barre had to wait for five
trains to pass around them going to-
ward Sunbury.
One trainman going toward Wilkes
Barre stated that going from Sunbury
to Honey Pot yards they passed II
trains. 1t has frequently happened
that trains have laid IL hours between
Wolverton and Sunbury before being
able to enter Sunbury yards.
