TO
FALSE ALARM

Sunday morning at about 8 O. clock
the fire companies responded hurIiedly
to an alarm. 1t was sent in from 616
Mill streets building owned by Jacob
Engle and occupied by several fami-
lies. When the firemen arrived on the
scene volume of smoke was issuing
from the crevices between the wealth
erboarding on the North side of the
house. and the rooms on the second
floor were filled with it. No flames.
however, were visible, and in order to
locate the blaze, if there was any, a
number of weather boards were torn
off.
Not a spark of fire was found, but
the cause of the trouble was revealed.
The pipe, after passing through the
lath and plastered ceiling above the
stove, without collar Of any kind to
protect the woodwork from igniting,
extended into the fiue only a couple of
inches. During the night something
had caused the pipe and hue to become
disconnected, and the smoke from the
former being unable to gain admit
tance into the latter, filed the rooms
and made its escape by whatever means
it could. AS a result the inmates
thought the house was on fire.
The timely discovery, doubt
less, prevented a blaze. The close
proximity of the top of the discon-
nected stove pipe with the surround
ing wood work, would soon have igni-
ted the latter and caused much greater
trouble than did occur. Two lines of
hose we're strung, but it was not neces-
sary to turn ON the water. The dam
ages were slight.

GOOD Showing
At THE Y. N. c. A.

Persons who are interested in the
work of the Y. M. O. A. in Danville,
as we'll as those who are oonversant
with the world. d.wide influence Of this
agency for good among boys and young
men. will be glad to learn that the As
sooiation in our midst is having one Of
the best seasons work in its history.
This is true in every department, as
the following record for the past week
will show:
The total number of visits to the
building, for all purposes. during the
past seven days, was one thousand nine
hundred and fifty seven.
There were 80 persons in the Bible
class for the study of the Sunday
school lesson, on Monday evening.
On Tuesday the building was used
morning and afternoon, by the School
Directors of Montour County. In the
evening, from to the Thomas Beav-
er Boys Bible Glass held its regular
monthly reception, with total attend
anoe of 250, which number 150 were
members of the class. From 8 to 8
O'Clock, the Directors held their reg.
laur monthly meeting.
Wednesday evening concert was
given by the Ithaca Male Quartette.
with an attendance of 800 persons.
The regular weekly meeting of the
Boys Bible Glass was held on Friday
evening, with an attendance Of l50.
In the various classes in the gym.
nasium there was an attendance for the
week of 156. and over $50 baths taken.
The Sunday morning Bible class had
an attendance of eleven men, and at
the Sunday afternoon mixed meeting
there were 236 persons present.
This record of the week, together
with hundreds of incidents in and
about the Association building, proves
the value of the work, and persons
who are contributing to its support
will learn with pleasure that there is
something DOING" and that Danville
will keep up Its end of the work. and
thus prove, without doubt, that it is
one of the most active evanRelistic en-
terprises in existence today, working
three hundred and sixty five days in
the year for the glory of God, the good
of the church, and the winning OF
young men to Christ.
AS long as our citizens will reoog-
nize its value, and remember that the
Y. M. q. A. is part of the church,
and part of mighty organization
that has gained favor in every quarter
of the world, and will help to keep
the Association up to the standard in
Danville, the work will 90 right on in
the right direction and prove itself the
one agency in our midst where all men
can meet and make the best of their
opportunities from a social. physical.
intellectual and spiritual standpoint.

SONS OF VET
ERANS CAMPS

Colonel George s. Brown of the
Third Regiment. Sons of Veterans Re-
serves. and division organizer of that
order, was in this city yesterday ar
nging for the establishment, in Dan
willie. of Camp of the Sons of VeteI-
aus. Colonel Brown is at present locat-
ed in Shamokin. He was born in this
city and is we'll known to many of
our citizens. He was at one time en-
ployed in the office of the Montour
American. Later he very ably filed
positions with Shamokin newspapers.
The work that Col. Brown was en-
gagged in yesterday was of merely a
preliminary nature, and nothing def
mite has as yet been done in the es-
tablishment Of Camp here although
the men with whom Col. Brown talked
all seemed to be very much in favor Of
the movement. He stated last evening
that if his work of interesting Dan
Vile men in the organization proceeds
with the same degree of success in the
near future as it did yesterday it is
probable that Camp may be organic
ed in this city in about three weeks.
The Sons of Veterans, an auxiliary
to the Grand Rfmy of the Republic,
has for ito 1ject the perpetuation of
the de- 8 of our fathers in the civil
war. Only sons and grandsons of
veterans are eligible. Colonel Brown
met the members of Goodrich Post.
No. 22. after their meeting last even
Ing, and they all expressed themselves
as bel thoroughly in favor of the
movem +, and willing to lend their
aid in the work of organizing Camp
in Danville.
An excellent characteristic of the
Sons of Veterans is the military fea-
ture connected with the order called
the Sons of Veterans Reserves. Com
panies have been organized in many
OF the Camps throughout the country.
Drilling is done under regular army
regulations. and national and state en-
Carnpments held annually. A company
Of Reserves was sworn in at Milton
last night, and the state encampment
Is to be held there in June.
The order has taken a forward move

the past year, many new Camps hav-
ing been organized. There is also in.

Bloomsbury Took the Game.

In the game of basket ball between
the Friendship Fire Company team of
Bloomsbury and the Danville team,
played at the Sunbury Armory last
night, for the championship of Mon
tour and Columbia counties, the locals
were defeated by score of 22-19.
Notwithstanding the fact that Blooms
burg took the lead at the start and
kept it until the finish. the game was
exceptionally fast. Danville played
good ball and fought hard for victory.
The Friendship boys played IN much
better form than they did in their last
game in Danville.
The score at the end of the first half
was 1873. In the second half Danville
reduced Bloomsburg's lead from 8 to
points. and it looked, for awhile. as
if the local team might win out, but
the referees whistle called time with
the Friendship team still in the lead.

TROLLEY CARS
SNOW BOUND

The Danville and Bloomsbury troll
ley was seriously handicapped by the
storm yesterday. 1t WAS with tine ut
most difficulty that the cars were kept
running. Few reached Danville, and
they were long ways apart. Schedule
time was not thought of.
Only three cars reached Mill street
during the morning-one at o'clock,
one at 10 and the third at IL. The sec-
ond car to come in stopped just long
enough to get ready to start back, but
during the short time it stood there
the snow drifted over the rails in front
of the car to such height as to make
it almost impossible to move it. The
wheels revolved with great rapidity,
but the current on the rails failed to
respond. Consequently the car did not
move. The front trolley pole was then
attached to the overhead wire, and
with the power thus doubled the car
advanced little. Then by frequently
backing and taking fresh start, the
car was forced to Bloom street at the
expiration of about minutes. From
that point as far as could be seen, the
crew had no further trouble to keep in
motion.
The next car to reach town was at
80 O'Clock. 1t left Grovania at 2,
and consumed three, and one-half hours
in making the trip. The start back
was made promptly, but an hour later
Grovania had not heard of it. 1t was
supposed to have been blocked by the
snow.
An attempt was made to operate the
sweeper during the morning, bat it
was not success on account Of the
crust ON the snow.
The trolley car which started from
here on its return trip to Bloomsbury,
at 8 80 O. clock, was only able to go as
far as the Magill farm. where it en-
countered drifts too heavy to get
through. The Grew. consisting of
motorman John Sullivan and conduct
DhNlsy w
Sight their way back to town and final
ly reached here at 8 O'Clock. In places
they found snow piled on the rails to
depth of from to 4 feet, and were
under the necessity of shoveling it off
the track before they could proceed.
Before reaching Danville they were
overtsken by the sweeper. in charge
of Superintendent Arthur L. Davis
and motormau William Berger, and
the two cars arrived in town at the
same time.
Superintendent Davis decided to
make no further attempt to keep the
road open last night The crew of the
car then went to the City Hotel for
the night.
Today, with the aid of the sweeper
and force of shovelers, Superintend-
ent Davis expects to have the road
open for traffic in short time.
