TO HOSPITAL
ENTRANCE

The proposition made by the Trus
tees of the Hospital to the DanviIIe
and Sunbury Street Railway Company
relative to location of track has been
accepted by the latter and work will
now proceed along new lines.
Under the agreement the trolley com
pany withdraws its exceptions to the
vacation of the road between a couple
OF hundred feet this side of the BOr-
ough line and the culvert over the can
al at the Hospital entrance At the
same time the Hospital trustees with
draw the injunction granted by the
MOntour Comfy Gourt against the
Dsnville and Sunbury Street Railway
Company. The latter company con
sents to remove couple hundred feet
of track laid between where the new
road branches off and the eastern line
of the Borough and is given permission
to lay its track Immediately along the
road relocated, which follows close
along th5 canal on the south side.
1t was learned from the trolley com
pany yesterday that work on the ex-
tension will begin at once and the
track carried from the Borough up to
the Hospital entrance. 1t will not be
necessary to wait until the new wagon
road is built before constructing the
trolley line, as permission is given the
company to lay its tracks at once and
of raising or lowering it according to
grade later on.
Owing to the additional work in
volved in carrying the track to the
Hospital entrance the company will
have to abandon the idea of running
cars on any part of its line by Satur-
day. 1t was stated yesterday that the
company will make strong effort to
have cars running between the HOspit-
al and the Southern end of the river
bridge by July 4th.

LOCAL TEAMS
FINE GAME

In close, we'll played game of base
ball. the Danyille team defeated the
Cuban Giants at DeWitt's Park Tu-
esday afternoon. The contest from
start to finish was intensely interest
ing and exciting.
Danville went into the game deter
mined, if possible, to redeem Monday :
defeat. The Giants also had evidently
made up their minds to win, and had, =,
therefore, put Bess, one of their best
pitchers INTO the box. They put up a
fast, clean ball in way that was hard
to beat, but the locals were in no wise
behind IN their determination or their
execution as was shown by the gilt
edged ball they put on exhibition
throughout the nine innings.
The game was opened brilliantly for
the Giants by Williams the big first
baseman who drove a clean hit to the
outfield on the first ball delivered.
But this speedy opening was not fol
lowed by any other hits or runs until
the fifth inning when four pretty sing
les netted two tallies for the local
team. In the second half of the fifth
the Cuban Gints made their only
score. In the seventh Danville made
one more tally from two hits No scor-
ng was done in the two last innings
The score:

ER WIN HUNTER
BADLY BITTEN

Dewey, large Newfoundland dog,
with an uniSavory reputation for fero-
J cIOusness, committed a terrible as.
sauit upon his owner, Erwin Hunter,
last night and as the result paid the
! penalty with bis life.
Dewey was not pure Newfound-
lana aud to his mongrel nature was at
tributed his vicious qualities. He was
a good watch dog, but was unsafe to
be at large even on his masters prem
! ises. He was therefore kept chained
most of the time When he happened
to get loose those who understood the
situation generally climbed into safe
positions. The dog had a long list of
atrocities to his credit, only a week or
so ago making an attack upon a boy
named Van Horn, employed about
the live.y stable, which sent him to
the doctors for treatment. When
angered, the dog seemed to be govern
ed by the instincts of wild beast
and lie was apt to spring for his vic
TINS throat Upon Charles Hunter,
who came unexpectedly upon him in
the stable recently the dog made an
assault, missing his throat. however,
and seizing in his teeth instead his
coat collar, which was buttoned under
his chin. The dog was formerly own
ed by Joseph Smith, the butcher aud
was even then known as vicious and
dangerous
Last evening Mr.. Hunter unclaimed
the dog for the purpose of giving him
some water. All went we'll until the
liveryman went to chain the dog. TAX
ing him by the collar Mr. Hunter was
in the act of swapping the chain into
the ring when the dog with all his
savage nature aroused sprang upon
him. The man endeavored to hold him
off by the collar, but the frantic dog
seized his left arm sinking his tusks
deep in to the flesh and biting him re.
peatedly between the elbow and wrist.
Mr. Hunter realizing that the dog
would fight to the finish called for
help, but before assistance came he
was badly bitten not only upon the
arm but upon both knees, and other
parts of the body.
The savage brute was literally over
powered by numbers. He was in a
mood to kill anyone that he could
reach and it was decided to put an end
to his career on the spot
The contents of one pistol were
emptied into him without producing
death, several shots from another re-
volver failed to do the work, when a
shot gun was produced, which infiict-
ed his quietus.
Mr.. Hunter was taken to the office
of Dr.. p. 9. New wbaker, who csuteriz-
ed and dressed the wounds.

A bold hold-up of a Reading brake.
man is reported from Allenwood The
brakeman, whose name is not given
out, was made to give up all the change
he had, about 81, and then compel le d
to jump from his train.
The hold-up occurred near Allen
wood. about twenty miles south of
Wilhamsport. late Saturday night
The brakeman was on a north bound
freight train, and was out on top of
the cars. Suddenly he was approach
ed by two men who commanded him
to throw up his hands, and he had no
alternative. Then he was compelled
to give up all the money he had with
him. Fortunately he had only about
four dollars in his pockets at the time.
This done, the men stepped back and
commanded Now you get off the
train as quick as you can.
The brakeman could not realize that
they intended to enforce such de-
mand at first, but he was soon given
to understand that they meant it, and
he had to crawl down the ladder of
the car and make the leap. Fortunate
ly the train was not running at a rapid
rate at the time, aud he alighted in
safety. Then, getting his bearings
well as possible, he made his way to
Allenwood station. Later he caught
another train and went to Williams
port What became of the robbers is
not known. 1t is quite likely that they
jumped from the train themselves far

the brake was noticed and made their

A pressure of work along some other
lines and shortage of material are
given as the reasons why the lights are
not all on at present.
The long row of bright lights as seen
from either end on approaching the

rlany Questions are Asked.

An inquiry repeatedly made by per
sons attracted 30 the river by the i'm
provements under way is what the
County Commissioners propose to do
with the unsightly spot for which they
are responsible, lying just west of the
bridge approach and which takes on a
worse appearance day by day as the
improvements all around 1t approach
completion.
The Commissioners Will discover that
unless they wish to ignore public
sentiment altogether they will have to
fix up this spot. They have already
sold the dingy looking tool house
which marks the site and which will
be removed in a short time. Beyond
this nothing can be learned concerning
the plans
The County Commissioners of North
umberland and Montour County are
jointly responsible for this little piece
of public property and it would seem
strange that with two counties to pay
the bill nice retaining wall could
not be built, after which little fill
ing up would complete the work.

OVERHEAD CROSSING

The residents of Gearhart township
Saturday put the stamp of deep dis
approval on the overhead crossing at
the Pennsylvania tracks, on Mill street
to the special notices sent out a meet

votes were cast in favor of the over

were recorded against it,
The meeting took place at the usual
voting place between the hours of 6
and s O'Clock. The special notices stat
ed that the overhead crossing would
| be discussed and a vote would be tax
Ell to reveal the sentiment of the citi-
zens of the township. The sequence.
however, showed that the electors had
attended to the detail of discussion
before the election and when they ar
rived at the meeting it was with their
minds unalterably made up. Few made
much of stay. They came by twos
and threes and in groups of half a
dozen, quietly deposited their votes
and retired

ing were on exhibition at the election
booth and were examined by nearly
all who voted, The plans, while made
by the railroad company, were pro
cured from the DanVille and Sunhury
Trolley Company, to which, along with
estimates of cost. they had been sub
mitted by the Pennsylvania people ask
ing that they be adopted.
The people of Gearhart township.
therefore, had means of knowing what
they were voting for. The great length
of the overhead work and the height
at which it will have to be carried
seems to constitute the principal OBJ
lection. The estimated cost is about
$27, 900. OF this the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is willing to as
sumo $4,000. The plans for inspeo-
tion were procured from the trolley
by the township with the |
consent of the railroad company.

ADJOURNED MEET,

also present at the meeting of Trustees

iampsort, architect for the four new
| buildings erected at the institution
last year, was also at the Hospital yes
terday looking up the prospects for
future work.
On the 10th inst when the first meet
ing was held, none of the plans for the
new work were completed. At the ad
Journed meeting yesterday Architect
Johnson submitted the plans for the
temporary buildings and these were
approved bv the Trustees The loca-
tion and number of these temporary
structures, which are to be one story
high. 200 feet long and &c feet wide,
were not fully agreed upon by the
Trustees at yesterdays $ meeting.
The plans for the light and power
plant are not yet completed, which was
something of a disappointment to the
Trustees, who realize the necessity of
an early beginning in order to insure
the completion of the plant in time
for use next winter. Mr., Johnson as
sured the Board OF Trustees that he
would have the plans ready to submit
at an early day, in plenty Of time to
admit of the completion of the plant
before winter.
The architect is brotherin law of
Israel W. Durham of the Durham Nc
Nickol contract firm of Philadelphia
The Trustees yesterday were quite
favorably impressed with Mr.. John
sons ability as an architect and ex-
pressed themselves as confident that
the new work designed by him woul d
conform with the best standards.
Messrs c. =. Hancock. W. A. Heller
and G. o. Yetter, Esq of the Danville
and Sunbury Street Railway Company
met the Trustees while at the Hospital
yesterday on business relating TO the
injunction against the trolley com
pany, which was argued before Judge

pital entrance, which the trolley com
