Rich Strike at Natalie,

and somewhat checkered career, owing
to the contention of opposing financial
interests for it's control, has just been
proved to be one of the richest collier
weeks drilling the Lykens Valley vein
fourteen feet thick has been struck.
AS the colliery tract comprises $500
acres, the existence of this vein in all
sections would mean that about IA, O00-
600 tons of the finest quality of coal
are available. Twenty more drillings
in widely scattered spots are to be
made, but the existence of the vein at
Hickory Ridge, two miles east, and
Marion Heights. one mile south, is so
we'll established that the extension is
virtually certain to embrace the entire
Natalie tract. That being the case,

TO GUARD THE
RAILROAD CROSSINGS

J. e. Turk. Superintendent of this
division of the P. & r. Railway, &C.
companied by J. W. DeMoyer, assist
ant, came to Danville in his private
car Monday in response to q COM
munioation from Council, calling the
P. & R. Company's attention to the
unprotected and unsafe condition of
their several railroad crossings in
town. notably the Center street CROSS
ing at which place two accidents were
narrowly averted recently.
Accompanied by Chief Burgess Pur-
sci. Councilman J. H. Goeser and Sec
retary of Borough Harry Patton the
officials went carefully over the ground
Superintendent Turk expressed himself
as firmly impressed with the danger
ous condition of Center street Gross
ing, which he regards as the worst in
Danville. Conditions at the next cross
ing. Spruce street, are regarded as but
little better.
| The officials we're very courteous and
their attitude toward the matter in
hand was such as to indicate that re-
lief will be Forthcoming. The officials
seem to regard system of electric
bells as more efficaoious than watch
man. although it would not prove less
expensive. In every instance where
bells have been installed, they say, the
results are most satisfactory and NO
accidents have occurred.
One of the Railroad compsny's elec-
tricians will next visit Danville to
make estimates, eto. Untilhe has ao-
complished his task nothing will be
definitely done by the Railroad com.
pany. But il is generally regarded as
settled that Danville will get watch.

STORY Of GREATEST
OF HIST0RY'S BATTLES
Francis McCullagh's Tale of
Mukden to be Printed
Next Sunday.
WILL MAKE A SENSATION
Revelation by the Score a
Feature of Great Chapter
of History.
WILL MAKE A SENSATION

The Battle OF Mukdcn, fought in
Manchuria in March of this yeaI, was
the greatest conflict i'll tile history of
the world. There were engaged in it
over 700, 900 men, and the Russian
army fed like crazy mob, helpless
before the victorious JaI aness. The
Russians lost 200, 900 men.
The only history of this great com
bat has Just been written. IL is told
by Francis McCullagh, a correspond
ent, who went into the battle with the
Russian forces, and was captured dur
ing the fight by the Japanese.
Mr.. McCullagh was an eye witness
of the battle from both sides, and,
knowing the history knows how to tell
it. He has written it all graphically,
as only an eye witness can. He has
not gone into the detailed work of the
military expert, but tells his story for
the man who wants to read it in good
clear English. letting the horrible
facts themselye. stand ont to adorn it
and point its areht moral.
Mr.. McCullagh's history has been
secured for publication in Pennsyl-
vanis by the Philadelphia North Am
ericsu. 1t will be published in two
installments, and the first install lnent
of eight pages will appear as a special
supplement added to the Sunday issue
Of the paper for July 2nd. 1t will be
completed Oh July 9th.
The newspaper reader who is watch
ing the peace negotiations inflated by
President Roosevelt will be able, after
reading Mr.. McCullagh's story, to see
the necessity for a ces ssation of hostil
tiles in the East for the stopping of
the. dumb slaughter of drunken Rus
slams driven by incompetent officers.
OF revelations there scores in Mr..
McCullagh's history. He saw what
the papers have never printd. and has
put into concrete form all of the
scattered bits of stories that were pub
lished. Without doubt, Mr.. McOul.
lagh's account of this battle is the one
to which the future will look as the
one true historical account of this
struggle of giant armies.

MANDAMUS FOR A
BOROUGH COUNCIL

ing of the Oentralia borough council

William ]. Yarworth. the chief bur-
grss and District Attorney A.. W. Duy
of Columbia county. have been grant
cd an order Of court for a mandamus
compelling the council members to ex-
plain their reasons for not holding any
council meetings during such length
of time.
1t seems that the councilmen, James
II. Farrell, Reuben Fahringer, Daniel
M. Bieber, Lewis E. Davis, William J.
Hines, Edward J. Gallagher were
elected members of the council and
that meetings had been held regularly
until Edward J. Gallagher removed
from the ward leaving but five coun-
cilmen. Since then as is claimed in
the petition for mandsmus, two of the
couucilmen have deliberately neglect
ed to appear and serve as oouncilmen
and preform the duties of their office.
The petition in part is as follows:
"That the said members of council
| we're sworn as councilmen of the said
borough" y.
"That no regular meeting of said
council was held since the second We'd
nesday in April, 1905. because of the
non attendance of Lewis E. Davis and
William J. Hines.
"That the alleys have not been clean
ed during the present year, an1 they
are in an unhealthy condition aud
threaten the health of the oitizsns and
residents of the borough.
"That no contracts have been nor
can be made for the repair of the
streets or roads of the borough. "That
interest and bills remain unpaid. -
That taxes are unlevied.
'That the business of the borough
the willful and malicious absence of
said Lewis E. Davis and of the will
full and malicious absence of William
j. Hines from attending the meetings
of the said borough council.
"That your petitioner is without
any other adequate remedy at law and
therefore petitions your honorable
court to award a writ of mandamus to
the aforesaid members of the council
directing them to appear before the
court and either to confirm or deny the
charges or command them to meet
forthwith and demand their charges. Z"
The petition is signed by William J.
Yarworth, burgess of the town aud Is
sworn to before Justice of the Pea ce
John J. Ryan.
The court issued an order granting
mandamus, the oouncilmen to ap-
pear before the court Oh July s at 8
o'clock a. m. to confess or deny the
charges or show cause why they have
not held meeting.

DOUBT WHETHER
PANAr1A CANAL

NEW YORK, June 28. will the
Panama canal ever be dug? A good
many people are beginning to doubt
1t, especially when they consider the
history of the project, which was first
conceived some three or four hundred
years ago. Hope ran high when the
United States was given the job and
President Roosevelt's initial measu res
and declaration promised we'll but IA
year has passed and performance seems
lacking.
First the old canal commission head
ed by Admiral Walker was found to
be unwieldy. There was too much
divided authority and some how or
other the thing wouldn't work. Then
came new order of things. Theodore
p. Schontz, a hustling rsilroad man
was placed at the head of affairs, while
John #. Wallace, an eminent engineer
was placed in charge of the actual
work of digging the canal.
Again hope rose that something
would be done. but the old canal hoodoo
is still at work. for now comes the
news that engineer Wallace has hand
ed his resignation to the president and
that canal affairs are badly tangled.
Yellow fever, too, has taken a hand,
and is sadly interfering with the work.
Mr.. Wallace is stopping in this city
until the President shall act on his
resignation. which is said to be of a
tentative character. He has made
certain requests upon the administra.
tion aud these may be complied with.
though the expectation in this regard
is slight. II they are complied with
Mr.. Wallace will return to his post.
If they are not it Is intimated that rev.
Citations will be made that will run
in close competition with some of the
odorous affairs Of the ways when the
French tried to dig the ca nal.
Engineer Wallace is practically in
hiding in this city. He spent ye,ter-
day and last night in conference with
friends in regard to his relations with
the ADMINISTRATION. Mr.. Wallace re.
fuses to SOY a word about the situa-
tion. His reason for this. in his own
words, is "That the situation is SO del
icate that l cannot afford to be quot-

home on Summer Hill. near Berwick.
Saturday afternoon, following an ill
ness which manifested itself in first
symptoms Thursday afternoon, lock-
jaw developing Friday morning. The
only possible cause for her contracting
the disease that can be assigned is the
fact that she had worn Il mustard plast-

back.
