FAINT child yesterday morning by rub.
bing its neck and back with carbolic
acid. under the impression that it was
alcohol.
The child never was very strong and
the mother had been in the nabit Of
giving it alcohol baths as a tonic.
Yesterday Mrs. Price sent little
girl living in the neighborhood, to
the store with two bottles. One was
to be filed with carbolic acid and the
other with alcohol.
At the first drug store visited by the
child, the clerk gave her the carbolio
acid without hesitancy. but for rea-
sons in accordance with the rules of the
trade, refused her the alcohol.
The little girl. entering a second
store, forgot what she had already Sc.
cured and again asked for ,arbolio
acid, which was readily furnished her.
When Mrs. Price received the bot
ties, she of course thought ti,at the
one contained alcohol. and according
ly. from one of the bottles, bat he'd her
baby's arms, neck and bach.
The acid ate through the SIX n OF Il Q

Immediately summoned and they did
all that was possible to ease tile agony
of the little sufferer. but the child lies

Summer TOurs-Niagara Won
derland.

For generations Niagara Falls has
been the great objective point for
tourists in the United States, and do
spite the prophecies of many ssvants.
it is likely to continue so for many
more generations.
In early years Niagara Falls trip
was very expensive, the property own
ers. guides, oabmen, ETC., vying as to
who could quickest drain the pockets
of the tourists. But this is all chang
ed. the state of New York on the one
sids and the Province of Ontario on
the other having reserved for Public
Parks the best situations adjacent to
the Falls. with free admissions aud
low rate of charge for licensed car
riaRes being rigidly enforced by the
Park Commission.
One special expensive trip was the
view of the rapids, but now the Mia
CARA Gorge Railroad 90. running a
line of trolley cars on each side of the
Rapids. affords fine view of the
whirlpool. etc.
One special point of Niagara Falls is
that it does not fall on the senses af-
ter one view, ON the contrary. new
beauties are discernable as often as
visited and many persons assert that
the hest of its beauty is not seen un-
til the third or fourth visit.
In contradistinction to the old sys.
tenn of expensive. wearisome travel
ling necessary 20 visit Niagara in for
mer years, the Ten Day Ten Dollar
tours by the Reading Lehigh Valley
route are very noticeable. Special
trains leave Reading Terminal 8 80 a.
nj. July l3. August and 10, Septem-
Der 2 and IA and October 8, and after
a daylight run through the scenic Le-
high and Wyoming Valleys, arrives at
Niagara Falls in the early evening.
Tickets for these excursions sold at
rate of Ten Dollars for round trip from
Philadelphia and proportionate rates
from other points. are good on special
train or connections only and good to
raturn within ten days on all trains
except the "Black Diamond Express. p"
On return trip stop-overs will be al.
lowed at numerous points of interest,
and holders of these tickets can secure
special low rates on side trips from

tion consult ticket agents or address

JOHNSTOWN FLOOD
OPPOSITE STEEL PIER

The flood which devastated Johns.
town, Pa, and the Uonemaugh Val
ley, May 81. 1889. is to be shown in
cycloramic form in Atlantic City with
vividness bordering on actuallty. On
this BoardwalS. opposite the new Steel
Pier, there has been constructed
building for this production. which
affords every facility for such purpose.
1t is open to the public every day and
evening, excepting the Sabbath. at
hourly intervals. this great historic
DIANA will be enacted. The building
which cost $50, 900. has frontage of 80
feet and extends outwardly so as to
give depth OF 80 feet for the stage
the largest OF the kind in the country.
1t is owned by Randolph MoNutt, of
Buffalo. N. Y, and is under the man.
agement Of Harry D'Esta. TIL eIe an
enormous electric light plant. with
prisms or color screens, attached and SO
arranged as to give wonderfully real.
istic effect to the rushing waters and
the upturned land. There are drawing
rooms, decorated with choice paintings
depicting interesting scenes, retiring
rooms and cozy smoking rooms. In
this way those awaiting entrance to
the auditorium can pass the time with
out annoyance or Inconvenience. OF
the cycloramio exhibition it can be
said to be simply marvellous in its real
ism. Real water seems to be rushing
down the valley from South Forks
Dam, houses seem to tumble and be
carried of by the food. the surging
waters seem to rise up over the Con-
emaugh bridge and swirl around
Hollow signal station, real bodies seem
to be dashed down the creek-in fact,
the whole production has a life like
appearance that is sterling in its in
tensity. There is shown Johnstown as
it was before the food. as it appeared
after the waters subsidized, and as 1t
IS. today. The celebrated Cambria Iron
Works and the Gautier Wire Works
are shown, and also the hills on the
other side of the town in which the
People sought safety. There also is
shown the brave John Baker as he
dashed down from the broken dam
shouting to the people of Johnstown
to flee from the coming tidal wave.
The st. Louis day express, which was
caught In the flood, is seen, while the
first section which ran out of the
death trap holds an important place
in the exhibition.

Used SALVATION
ARMY TACTICS

A unique method of getting hearers
to receive the Word was resorted to
Sunday evening at the village of AL
media. Rev. Slower of the Evangelical
church couldn't get the congregation
to come to him so he went to the con-
gregation.
For several months interest in church
work In the Evangelical church of AL.
media had been on the decline and
several Sundays when the good min
lister Rev. Slower repaired to his church
to preach the Gospel he would find the
pews empty. He was Tesourceful,
however, and noticed that large con.
gTegation of men and boys were al.
ways gathered on Sunday evening at
the corner of the Englehart wagon
shop, near the church. He determin-
ed to have hearers enough even though
he had to go where they were.
On Sunday the minister with his
'choir stopped at the street corner in
stead of going on to ths church and
commenced the service A large num-
'ber of people were gathered together
rsitting on the steps and OH piles of
lumber and on old wagons.
Mine choir sang several selections, the
minister prayed and preached a very
instructive aud interesting sermon. At
the close he announced that services
would again be held at the same time
and place in two weeks from Sunday
evening. 1t was a strange procedure
but it worked and Rev. Stover had a
congregation.

Among the twelve new director,
chosen by the Board OF Directors 4
the Equitable Life Assurance Socie =

Zehnder, former Danville man.
Mr.. Zehnder is sound business n.an
and carries 5000, 600 worth of policies
| in the Equitable. He is a son CT

been very rapid. Mr.. Zehnder will no
doubt carry the good management and
careful business methods that have
contributed to his individual success

urged by three of the biggest policy
holders in Philadelphia. He is friend
OF Paul Morton and of Thomas j..
Ryan, who bought out James Haz,n
Hyde's interest in the Equitable. his
election along with the others will no
doubt assist in restoring confidence In
the great Assurance Company.
In an interview Mr.. Zehnder said !:
81 am heartily in accord with Char
man Morton and also have great cen
fidenoe in the business sagacity of Mr..
Ryan. l am in favor of reorganizati On
and am convinced that under the
new management confidence will be
restored and the business of the con-
pany carried on quite as extensively
as it was before. but upon a comm on
sense basis.
Several of the Philadelphia news
papers Saturday printed Mr.. Zehnd.

ness and showed him as vigorous
looking man still on the sunny side of
middle life.

dent Of the Scranton Bolt and Nut
Company and of the Empire Steel and

an OLD VAULT
IS UNCOVERED

P. ]. Keefer with his crew OF work
men while exoavating for the new
sewer at the rear of Mill street Mon.
day morning laid bare q curious relic
Of earlier Danville in the form of a
vault built Of solid masonry some ten
feet below the surface.
The trench for the pipe. which at
that point Is some thirteen feet deep
was dug through the Laubach lot and
is being extended to the D. L. & W.
track. Just outside the fence and some
twenty feet from the track the work
men came to ths old vault. All that
portion nf town has been filled up
with cinder, ashes and like material
to depth of seven to ten feet, the
made ground resting upon deposit of
soft olsy. The surprise of the work
men. who had found digging easy, up
on coming upon the solid masonry can
easily be imagined.
An investigation showed that the
vault was Of stone, a perfect arch in
form and of hrst-olass workmanship.
1t was completely hidden below the
natural deposit of clay, which is proof
that 1t existed in the remote day be.
fore there was any building in that
part of town.
The trench cuts right through the
old vault. The latter is found to be
some eight feet long by seven feet in
diameter Whether anything of any
sort remained in the vault or not could
not be determined yesterday. as the
workmen hardly appreciating the i'm
portance of their find in breaking
through the walls threw the stones
and dirt right and left in the old vault
half filling it up.
The queer discovery aroused a good
deal OF interest yesterday and the spot
was visited by good many people.
The fact was clearly established that
the vault belonged to by-gons gen.
GRAFTON and it is exceedingly doubtful
whether there are any in Danville even
among our ootogenarians who can re.
call any thing relating to the vault.
David Shelhart yesterday stated that
he has been located on that spot for
over 6fty years and never heard any
thing of the old vault. He began there
in 1850. which was year at least be-
fore Christian Laubach erected the
building which at present abuts on
the railroad, although the railroad was
not built until many years afterward.
Mr.. Shelhart is familiar with all the
developments in that locality and es-
pecially with all the improvements
made on the Laubaoh property and he
Is convinced that the vault was main
tained by former generation.
Boyd Gearhart spent his boyhood on
that spot; his memory goes back as far
as Mr.. Shelhart's and he is unable TO
recall anything that would suggest
the presence of a vault. There was
woollen mill which stood some " here
near that SPOT in the early days of the
town, but whether the old vault was
an appurtenance of the factory is not
easy to determine.
There is something exceedingly in
teresting about the strange vault, firm
ly built and hidden deep in the earth,
and people are naturally curious to
know what part it played in the town g
early days. Perhaps some of our old
timers after talking over the matter
will arrive at some conclusion which
will help to clear up the mystery.
