Ferry Boat Is Launched. '.

The ferry boat was sucoessfully
launched yesterday afternoon and the
ungainly craft added one more chapter
to its eventful history embraced In the
short period of one year. 1t is twisted
and warped as the result of lying on
the slanting and uneven river bank 1t
is minus fall boards and is badly bat.
tered as the result of its bouts with
food and ice during its runaway trip
down the river. 1t will instantly be
put into ship shape and thrown into
active service. Beyond that what
vicissitudes fate has in store for the fat
boat is not revealed.
The ferry boat was launched by
Ellis Rank aided and abetted by q
large crowd Of lookers.on. Fortunate
ly it doss not seem to leak much and
calking will not be necessary. Two Of
the fall boards we're found on this side
of the river, the other two. whloh are
entirely missing, are being replaced by
Hoover Bros.
The river ia very rapidly falling and
County Commissioner Cook yesterday
stated that the ferry will be put into
operation yet during the present week
or early next week. 1t will be run dur.
ing the day time only and but one
ferryman will be employed, who in
all probability will be Mr.. Yeager.
The bridge will take care OF the foot
passengers, and those who have oooas

An Interview on Base Ball.

While in neighboring towns the base
ball votaries are full Of enthusiasm
and are busy outlining plans for the
seasons sport the fact is commented
upon that there is little doing in Dan.
Vile.
To determine what the season has in
store for Danville citizen who stood
close to the sport in other years was
interviewed yesterday.
"You may rest assured" said the
gentleman, "that Danville is going to
have base ball and plenty of it. It is
settled. too, that it will be in DeWitt's
Park. "
The disciple of base ball then launoh-
ed into an enthusiastic description of
DR.. DeWitt's base ball ground, max
ing the sweeping assertion that there
is nothing like it to be found in
these parts. The magnificent diamond
and the fine grand stand with seat.
ing capacity of five hundred we're es-
pecial features that appealed to HIM.
In addition he expatiated on the
beautiful surroundings and pure wat
er, features which assist to make the
park popular.
The point is not settled whether base
ball will be under the old manage
ment or whether club Of well-known
players will play on the cooperative
plan. Should the latter come to pass
an agreement will no doubt be enter
ed into with the Danville Base Ball
Association whereby the full equip.
ment will be turned over to the new
organization for tho season.
The Danville Base Ball Association,
which is made up of active business
men anxious to promote healthy spor
last year and previously gave us 6
good quality of base ball and it goes
without saying that their energy ant
resources will be in evidence the com
ing season and that base ball will b,
a standing attraction.

Death List Remains the Same.

BROOKTON, Mass, March a.
Work was resumed this morning in an
effort to fi1d more bodies in the ruins
Of the r. b. Grover shoe factory but
up to II O'Clock none had been discov-
cred and it is believed that no more
will be found.
The number of bodies recovered re-
mains at 55 and there have been no
new identi6cations since last night
Manager Emerson of the fnoturv tau
several safe experts come here from
Boston this morning. They are to open
the big safe of the company which lies
in the ruins and which holds the fact
ory's pay roll by which it is hoped,
will show definitely the number of
persons who lost their lives.
But Mr.. Emerson said this morning
the finding of the payroll would not
give complete list of the employees
as the factory had hired dozen or
fifteen new hands in the week before
the fire, and their names were not all
on the pay roll. probably. His own
idea Of the number Of the dead. is that
1t is not above sixty.
He is inclined to believe that all the
bodies have been recovered thus plac'
ing the total loss at 30. He remarked
that he could not of course say that 6
few OF the employees were not totally
cremated.
At a special joint meeting of the
city government last night, called by
Mayor Keith, who presided, the fol
lowing joint resolution was passed.
Whereas, a great calamity has fall.

LIMESTONE
FROM ALMEDIA

Messrs. Caldwell and Barry Of the
firm that has the contract for putting
down the concrete for the flooring oi
the river bridge returned to Danville
yesterday morning after q visit to Cat
awissa and Shuman's. They left for
Harrisburg at noon in order to be pre-.
sent at that place today when the CON
tracts are awarded for the several Col.
umbia county bridges, Caldwell, Bar
ry & Leonard having a bid in for both
the Catawissa bridge and the bridge at
Shuman's.
Mr.. Barry yesterday stated that his
firm would finish its portion of the
work in two weeks at most, which
would mean completion of the foor-
ing in aboat the same time. He stat
ed. however, that the firm could not
see its way clear to begin work until
the builders have gotten further along
with the ironwork, as at the present
rate of progress in a short time the
riveters would be overtaken by the
floor and work on the latter would be
held up.
Representatives of the firm will be
in this city next Monday to make fnal
arrangements. By that time riveting
will be we'll under way and the lime
stone, sand, ETC., ordered by Cald.
we'll. Barry g. Leonard will be on the
ground. The limestone has been pur.
chased at Almedia and will be shipped
to Danville via the D. L. g. W. rail-
road. W. A. Shepperson has the con-
tract for hauling both the limestone
and the sand from the cars to the
bridge.

VIEWERS HELD
TWO SESSIONS

Pursuant to the notices posted at
South Danville last week a view was
held at the Southern approach to the
river bridge on Saturday in response
to petition from the citizens of
Gearhart township, asking that the
county bear the expense of building
the road and the approach to the river
bridge on the South side. The board
OF viewers consisted of George +.
Keefer (surveyorl, Fl. f.. Mann and
p. O. Oberdorf. residents of Sunbury.
Two sessions were held by the view
ers. One in the forenoon at 10 80
O'Clock when the approach of the
bridge was carefully examined and an
estimate made both as to the number
OF perch OF stone inthe retaining walls
and the cubic feet of earth required to
bring the road up to the new grade.
Toward noon the Board of Viewers
retired to the parlor of the Susque-
hanna Hotel where testimony was TAX
en- from number of citizens In the
afternoon additional testimony was
heard. Among those testifying during
the day were: P. G. Baylor and Mack
Richarts, Supervisors; Joseph Camp
bell. ex.Supervisor; J. H. Kase, W.
r. Clark, the Hoover Brothers, Rufus
Vastine and o. s. Smith. The inter-
ests of the township were looked after
by Attorney Charles Chalfant.
The testimony presented very con-
clusively showed that the construction
OF the new roadway and approach to
the bridge will involve big outlay
of public money and constitute heavi.
or burden than Gearhart township
with it, limited resources and present
big tax rate should be called upon to
bear. The county. it was held, should
assume the cost of the entire improve.
ment.
There Is no way of determining how
the Board Of Viewers were impressed
as the result of the hearing. The tax
payers. however, taking other cases as
precedents, incline to the view that
the county will not turn deaf ear to
their appeal but will decide to bear
the expense of the work.
