Will rIeet Friday NIGHT.

A 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-
CINE House of the Washington Hose
Company at 80 O'Clock on Friday
night next.
The object in meeting in the Grand
Jury room was for the purpose oil
creating q more general interest and
to show that there was no disposition
to restrict the hoGors 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 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. a committee on floats,
as the intention is to interest the
merchants as last year, AMI 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 S32 paid all the
bills. Thirty-five dollars will be the
maximum sum required this year.

Berwick Ferry Founders,

An accident yesterday morning
which would undon btedly 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
Nescopeck, while the bridge is being
rebuilt.
While William Wenner, the regular
ferIyman, was absent from the boat
about quarter after eight O. o'clock,
Charles Wolf went to the ferry on
the Nescopeck side, and being in a
hurry to cross the river. started the
boat across himself.
Every thing went as usual until the
boat reached a 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. F"
The mans plight was witnessed by
several persons on shore, but no one
had any means to save him from his
danger until a man named Garter, with
a row boat, espied the huge fat rush
ing toward the rocks below and he at
once rowed to the rescue of its solitary
passenger.
The ferry boat continued alone on
its way down stream with the current
until it struck the rapids, were it
/ foundered and sunk to the bottom.
Had the accident occurred in the
morning or evening when the work.
men and girls are crossing the stream
/ to and from work, nothing could have
/ prevented horrible loss of life. Yes

tive that some means of passage he oh

pennsy Freight Congestion.

The great press Of freigb/ traffic in
the Sunbury division of the Pennsyl1
vauia continues and Nescopeck had Il
demonstration of this yesterday.
A train bound frcm Sunbury TO
Wilkes Barre was compelled to lay in
the Nescopeck yards from s O'Clock
until | O'Clock. being unable TO 60
even switch farther on account of
the almost continuous string Of trains
from Wilkes. Barre to Sunbury. TIE
yards were blocked number of times
but the greatest blockade was at about
3 O'Clock when 10 trains came togeth-
er in the yards. Four freight trains
and the passenger tram going toward
Wilkes Barre ha1 10 wait for five
trains to pass around them going to-
ward Sunhury.
One trsinman going toward Wilkes
Barre stated that going from SuubuIy
to Honey Pot yards they passed II
trains. Ii has frequently happened
that trains have laid 13 hours between
Wolverton and Sunbury before being
able to enter Sunbury yards.

Big Convention Convenes Today.

All day yesterday delegates aud wis.,
itors from all over the Pennsylvania
anthracite region gathered at Shamok-
in to attend the tri-district convention
which oonvenes there today Presi-
dent John Mitchell arrived at Sha-
mokin late Monday night. but would
make no statements for publication
outside the fact that matters are in
the hands Of the delegates aud will be
disposed of by theu.
From Wilkes Barre alone nelrly 500
men went to Shamokin yesterday, like
mum bers going from all over the coal
fields, the Pottsville region sending
especially large delegations. which ar
rived at Shamokiu last evening.
Yesterday morning President Mitch
ell held conference with President
John Fahey and other leaders of the
ninth district. Micthell is preparing
an address that he will deliver at the
opening session, -and the advice and
arguments that will be contained
therein are eagerly awaited for.
1t seems to be the general feeling
among the delegates and officers that
there will be no trouble between the
union aud the operators. A few radio
al state that an eight hour day and re
cognization of the uinon will be de-
manded. The latter, however, is part
ly secured, and the greater body of the
miners do not, if the allegations are
true, work more than eight hours in
any one day at the present time, there
fore it is the opinion of those who are
in a position to know, that these con-
cessions are sought and may be de-
sired, yet the miners will be satisfied
and contented with a satisfactory
working agreement and continuation
of the Cancellation board for another

R. {. JACOBS
IN DANVILLE

r. O. Jacob of the Maryland Con
struction Company arrived at this city
! yesterday for the purpose of looking
over the State Highway aud 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
winter, There is already more or lie, 5
frost in the ground, which interferes
with digging, while circumstance
which adds to the difficulty is the fact
that no Que 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 saoh work as road building Mr.
Freeman with a force of men will
likely remain on the ground a few
days longer making some changes in
grade. drainage, &c. needed to satisfy
property owners. 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 specifca.
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 a State Highway
in Lancaster county. His representa-
tive, Mr.. Freeman, would have been
here early in the fall. but just as they
were 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, were 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 aud 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.

up the old waterway with the aid OF

matter in some form.
During an interview with Council.

learned that g J. Ray, Division En-

Company, will come to Danville to.
! morrow morning for the purpose OF
meeting the Sewer Committee of Couu
Gil and G. +. Keefer. the Borough
Surveyor, the object of the conference
being to see what can be done toward
getting rid of the nuisance OH new
basis that will enable the Borough and
the Railroad Company to cooperate in
such way that will not place too
heavy a 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 it. 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 Danvile 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 it
was not responsible, the Railroad Com

ed by the canal improved and enhanc-
ed in value principally at the Bor-

The outcome of the conference will
no doubt figure in proceedings of

there is much speculation as to just
What proportion of the b, avy burden
the owners of the old canal will con-
sent to bear in order to wipe out the
nuisance.
The old ditch is not iAproving any
with the lapse of time. IA 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 tie Borough and render

all the facts it is hoped that he rail
road company will do the right thing
aud that Council may see its way
clear to co cooperate with the owners III
some way that may relieve Us of the
canal nuisance before another summer
comes around. The matter should re-
ceive careful consideration by Coun-
