Only a Brush Fire.

About half past six o'clook last even.
ing wide sheet Of fame visible from
nearly all over the borough shot up st
the eastern end of town. A cry went
up that the stove works were OIL fire
and in an incredibly.short time East
Market street, the D. l.. & W. track,
Walnut street and every avenue lead
ing eastward was black with people.
Meanwhile the fire bells had rung and
one or more of the hose companies
we're also on their way.
1t seemed only a few moments after
the first alarm that several hundred
people oonverged upon the D. L. g.
". track this side of tho stove works.
And then there was no fire. The lurid
glare had faded from the sky; the
stove works. unharmed. reared their
sombre walls aloft and there was no
suggestion Of flame and smoke any
where.
The big crowd began to think that
they had been deluded by some mag
ician's trick and asked each other
what it meant. Happily at that mo.
ment man came down over the hill
from the John r. Bennett farm and he
was able to make the whole thing
clear.
On one of the elevated fields which lay
at n level with the stova worksf roof
a lot of brush and weeds were set on
fire in order to clear the ground for
Spring work. The fire was directly in
line with the stove works and easily
gave rise to the delusion that the
group of buildings were on fire. The
highly combustible brush and weeds
were consumed in few minutes,
which cut big sensation short.

About seven O'Clock Monday even
ing, the children were engaged in play
at their home. During their pursuit
of pleasure, the elder boy ran out of

younger brother.
Upon reaching The stone pavement,
the elder boy stopped, and his brother
ran into him. the force of the colIis-

younger boy violently to the ..pav.
ment, striking the left side of his
head, near the temple, a heavy blow
The little victim was carried into
the house, and DR.. Mary Mckay
Wenck was sent for. The doctor an

Everything possible was done for
the relief and recovery of the victim,
but to no avail. death thwarting all
efforts at the time stated.
The child was aged years,5 months

IMPROVEMENTS At
DeWIqT'S PARK

Now that the Danville and Sunbury
Electric Railway seems an assured
fact our neighbors on the South side
are casting about to see what business
opportunities may arise and what they
can do to show their enterprise and
keep pace with the great march of prog.
ress.
The first to respond to the new con.
ditions is the popular Riverside park.
which will undoubtedly receive an i'm
petus from the completion of the line
that will send it booming along on a
career of remarkable prosperity. DR..
Dewitt has decided upon a system OF
Improvements for the park, which
when installed will give the place q
reputation and a prominence that will
make it one Of the moss popular re-
sorts in all this section.
First of all the pavilion will be en-
larged until it will be second to moth.
ing of the kind hereabout. 1t is al.
ready so feet by 80 feet, but so feet
additional will be added to It's length,
giving the dancers a run of ITO feet.
The entire base ball ground will be
fenced in, which with its many other
fine features will make the grounds
the most desirable for base ball in this
section.
A number of cottages will be erect
ed, the lumber for three having been
already ordered. They will be two
story affairs, 1sxl8 feet, built on the
east end of the grounds south of the
present entrance, where the morning
sun will quickly dispel the dew and
the effects of showers and where in the
afternoon the shade cast by the tall
grove will be cool and dense.
The east side entrance will be clos
ed and new entrance will be opened
on the north side at Avenue E.. the
beautiful tiioroughfare extending near.
ly north and south through the Bor.
ouRh of Riverside. Along Avenue Z
from the Public School Building in
Riverside, the track Of the Danville
and SuDhury Electric Railway will be
laid. The trolley tracks entering the
park by Avenue E will Ibe laid along
outside of the fine driveway encir-
cling the grove from the northern en-.
trance as far around as the South " est
corner, whence on ground donated by
DR.. Dewitt it will follow the east 8 ide
of the lane leading toward Torrence's. 9.
just inside of the new north ell
trance will be very handsome ant
up-to-date merry-go-round. permanent
ly installed ih oommodious building.
Moving pictures and other attractions
will be installed as the season ad
vances.
Near the entrance also will be erect
ed two.story cottage. fourteen BY
twenty -four feet, which will be oc
cupied by H. L. Dewitt and family
and where refreshments will be sold.
DR.. Dewitt has discovered that one
of the springs on the ground has min
eral properties, highly esteemed among
physicians. This spring DR.. Dewitt
expects to develop and he has conf.
denoe that in short time it will be
known as one of the most popular
features of his resort.
DeWitt's Park has already been Sc.
cured for the Fourth of July by the
Continental Fire Company of Dan.

1.-The Sign of the Cross"

The Boston Globe in speaking of
THE Sign of the Cross engagement
i'll that city recently, says:
ANY one who witnessed the two
immense audiences in Music Hall yes
terday. where THE Sign of the Cross
began two weeks engagement, could
not fail to have been impressed with
the tremendous hold this drama has
upon the public. For eight seasons this
remarkable play has been on the stage
an yet the tense silence. the eager
watchfulness of the spectators and the
unmistakable interest was greater
than at its first presentation here.
And the reasons for all this can easily
be traced.
In the first place the story. while
both of q religious and an historical
nature is yet told with so large an
amount of human traits that 1t appeals
strongly to all Glasses. Love, hate,
ambition and other of the passions of
man burned as fieroely in the days of
Nero, the despot, as they 90 toda-,
and while the brutal instincts of man
kind we're held less in check then,
there are tine same underlying princi-
Piles, SO that there is no sentiment
which is not readily understood and
appreciated.
Then again, the management has
permitted no deterioration as regards
production. either in cast or scenic en-
vironment. and this factor enters in
no small degree into the wonderful
success achieved by 1.-THE Sign of the
Gross. T" The company at the Music
Hall is no exception to the general
rule.

MIR. r. E. Coward, a well-known man
here, is rejoicing in the relief from
suffering he has obtained through US
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills. His expert

Waiting a Lost Art.

Waiting is becoming lost art, and
that is why the American Society of the
Professors of Dancing, in their twenty
eighth annual convention at the Hotel
Majestic, did all they can to check the
insidious two-step. All summer the
young persons who wear lawn dresses
and have their sleeves rolled up to show
their plump arms and also the young
persons who take to flannel hats and
negligee shirts and white ducks have
been romping instead of Waiting, as
they should.
"All this" said Prof. Oskar Duenwig,
"shows that there is a growing super
fciality which also extends to the varied
walks of life. | fear much that the
young generation is inclined to be slip
shod through what should be the grace
full cadences of the waltz. 1t is truly a
deplorable tendency and one which we
are here to earnestly combat

SULTAN'S NEW SCHEME
HAS CAUSED FRICTION,
Notifications On Bosphorus Are Siren
uously Objected to by Russian
Ambassador

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 49,
The steady progress of work on the
new Notifications on the Bosphorus is
causing friction between the Russians
and the Porte. The Notifications We're
hastily commenced at the time of the
mutiny on board the Russian battleship
kniaz Potemkine, Turkey Selling on
this preteXt as a means for carrying
out a scheme of fertilization which she
had long desired but which had always
been opposed by Russia. 1t is under
stood that the Russian ambassador, Nj.
Zinovieff. pointed out to the Sultan that
further fortifcati ton of the straits was
incompatible with friendly relations be-
tween Russia and Turkey. Meanwhile,
the works are being actively pushed,
though they can hardly be completed for
several months.
The Porte continues its irreconcilable
attitude regarding the proposed interna-
tiOnal control of Macedonia.
