Grave Charges Made.

the county now has no claim on the
site. On this subject the report says
further: zone witness before this
jury testified that he worked twelve
days on the building during certain

the farm, retained the man upon his
pay roll as working during this time
upon road ten miles distant. This
DILL was audited and passed.
"This same commissioner, who ap-

Will Improve the Approach.

The steep approach to the bridge at
the South side. is getting worse as
time wears on. The soft ashes are now
badly cut up by the hundreds of wheels
that plough through it daily. Many
persons find great entertainment in
standing at that end of the bridge and
watching the exertion of the horses as
they tackle the approach. Few have
failed, however. in their efforts to get
up onto the bridge and many pull CON-
siderable loads. A. o. Amesbury, who

Woman'S Narrow Escape.

Pedestrians in the neighborhood of
the P. & X. crossing on Center street
Tuesday morning witnessed a thrill
ling spectacle. A milk wagon driven
by woman escaped uelug ground un-
der the wheels of a passing freight
train bv only hands breadth.
The milk wagon. wniuh was driven
by Mrs. W. H. Fernwald, was descend
ing the Center street hill. AS she ap-
preached the crossing north bound
freight train came rolling along almost
before she was aware of it. She inst
antly frightened up the lines. to hold
the horse back and guide him south
ward into the alley that runs nearby
parallel with the railroad. Unfortun-
ately one line became entangled in the
shaft so that the animal would not re-
spond while the wagon, which was
very heavy one, ran down against the
horse forcing him along until another
step would have taken him on the
crossing just as the engine came along.
The horse would have been struck
had it not been that the woman hang
ing onto the line that was disengaged
pulled his head to one side. which gave
the locomotive sufficient room al
though in passing it cleared the horse 8
head by half foot Oh so.
The woman's position was one of
utmost peril. The horse was not a
large animal and was physically un-
equal to the ask of holding back the
heavily loaded wagon while the long
train was passing. Should he yield a
single step he would be caught by the
oars. At this junoture l.. G. Little,
the jeweler, happened along and TAX
ing in the situation sprsng to the
horse's head. By sheer strength he
held the overtaxed animal back. The
horse braced himself and did his best,
but in the struggle Mr.. Little was
thrown to the ground and himself was
in peril.
When the train passed the horse was
nearly exhausted. while the woman
was almost in state of collapse.
Clearly nothing but Mr.. Little's time
ly appearance and his heroic efforts
saved the woman and her horse and
wagon.

Preparing for Camp.

Company f, Twelfth Regiment N.
g. p, is very busy preparing for camp
which will begin at Mt. Gretna July
sth. Company F. however. will find
time to participate in the grand dem
onstration in Danville on the Fourth
of July and will be in the line of
parade with over go men.
Captain Gearhart says that he will
take sixty-fi five men-a full complement
to camp this year. In this number
are eighteen new men. The captain
states that he can not recall time
when reornits were so easily obtained
and he does not think that he would
have any difficulty in enlisting one
hundred men if he needed them. The
activity in the company is most mark.
ed, the attendance at drills being es-
peoially encouraging.
The company will leave for Mount
Gretna on Friday. July 9TH, arriving
at camp Friday evening. where the

camp at 9 O'Clock on Saturday morn.

Teaching the Art of Swimming.

Now that base ball is properly
launched the next amusement for the
summer taken up at the Y. M. O. A
will be swimming.
Physical Director O. y. Carpenter is
quite an enthusiast on this sport,
which is not to be regarded solely as a
sport or pastime, but rather as n very
useful accomplishment. Professor Oar.
penter maintained a class in swimming
last summer. He finds the idea very
popular in Danville. His class was a
large one and on knowledge gained in
dealing with the applicants he bases
an estimate that less than one-half of
the male population of our town have
learned to swim.
Swimming is an art, Professor Oar
penter says. that can be acquired by any
person, il rightly instructed. The pro-
grass made in the swimming class, last
year, was remarkable. Confidence is
the grand essential. To inspire this
while learning a broad belt is adjust.
ed around the chest and under the arms
of the pupil. which the instructor
keeps hold Of. Thus supported on the
water the learner is taught in success
sion the various strokes and learns to
know the buoyauoy of the water. I'm.
der this method, the pupil learns to
swim before he knows it.
The spot selected last year, out at
the second pier of the river bridge.
now that traffic has been restored,
is too much exposed to the public
and Professor Carpenter is casting
about for new swimming ground.
At low water the river opposite town
is not as general thing we'll adapted
to bathing owing to rocks and the ac-
cumulation of glass and other articles
that strew the bottom. Now that the
Hospital sewage has been diverted
from the stream it is likely that the
class may investigate the river furth,
er up steam, hoping to find deep wat.
er aud a clear bottom.

TWELVE BARRELS
or GRAPHITE PAINT

John ]. Tucker, of Lancaster, rep
resentative of the Joseph Dixon Cruc-
ible Company, of Philadelphia, was in
this city yesterday and spent jolly
half hour with some aoquaintances at
the hardware store of H. II. Moore.
where the Dixon goods are found.
Mr.. fuckers company furnished the
material-known as the Dixon Crap
hite Paint-that was used in painting
the river bridge at this place and the
gentleman presented some interesting
facts relating to the quantity of the
paint consumed, cost. go.
The three coats applied on the whole
structure required twelve barrels of
paint. In a general way it requires
one gallon of paint for two coats to
every ton of iron. The greatest cost
is connected with the putting on of
the first coat. the second and third
coats requiring less paint and being
more easily applied.
One painting is supposed to last
seven years. but it is generally ousto-
mary to repaint iron bridges every five
years. Montour has several other iron
bridges to look after beside the river
bridge and it is pretty clear that from
now on the item OF paint is going to
enter conspiouously into the county's
expense account.

Barriers Removed.

The barriers erected to keep travel
off the new pavement on Mill street
were removed last night both from in
front of the Montour House and at
Mill and Front streets and Mill street
is now open over the entire stretch of
new pavement extending from Center
street to the river bridge.
Viewed from q point near Market
street.-the paved thoroughfare north and
south presents very nice appearance
and would scarcely be recog nized as
the Mill street of one brief year ago.
The paved street and the river bridge,
together, approximating three fourths
of mile. affords a most delightful
drive. which will be enjoyed by large
number of people who possess horses
and carriages.
Best of all the new pavement is a
fine piece of work. which will CON-
pare favorably with street pavements
in any of our neighboring cities. A
gratifying circumstance connected
with it is the fact that the work was
contracted for and done by Dsnville
man. showing that our town not
only has the public spirit but also
among her tradesmen the skill and
responsibility needed to carry out her
enterprises.
