GRAND JURY SUS-
TAINS EXCEPTION

Now taht the river bridge is com
p,eted and will be thrown open to the
public week hence it becomes a mat
ter of Importance that the approach be
fixed up in good shape at the earliest
possible date As a matter of fact
great deal of work remains to be done
at each end fore persons can drive
on or off the bridge with anything
like ease or safety.
The DauvilIe approach will have to
be paved to conform wit h Mill street,
of which it is part and this expense,
it is generally conceded, will have 10
be borne by tie county. A good de i
of work will be involved as in addi-
tion to the necessary grading retain
ing wall will have to be built on the
west side in line with the wing wall
of the bridge
On the south side. however, the prob
lem Is much more complicated d one
and there Is a.. actual hold up. 1t will
be recalled that the viewers appoint,d d
by the Court reported in favor of the
county building the two long retain
ing walls, leaving the township to bear
the expense of filling up. Later the
Court made a decree declaring the re-
tanning walls 10 be county improve
ment, the expense of building to b,
borne by the county as are county
bridges and the like.
The County Commissioners, how
ever. filed exceptions TO the viewers
report and to the Judges approval. IU
order to satisfy the Commissioners the
court permitted the matter to go le-
fore the Grand Jury at the same time
instructing that body that in the PIT
misses the order of the court to build
the wall would have to stand. The
Grand jury, however. sustained tie
Commissioners exceptions and that is
the status of the case at present.
How long the hold up will last is
| not known, but in view of the fact Il at
the court has declared the approach TO
| be county improvement it is regard
ed as certainty that the County Com
| missioners will have to build the walls
| Charles Chalfant, attorney for Il e
! township, will move to strike off the
| exceptions and an effort will be male
| TO get the work under way at the earl
| lest possible date.

that inaugurated recently by the Sun
day North American, of Philadelphia.

presenting each week, a puzzle for
young folks, and has been Offering a
long list of prizes. But the answers
grew to be so numerous that many
boys and girls were, of necessity, dis

it is but natural that you should ex
pect TO be rewarded, and that you
should feel disappointed if you find
you are not rewarded.
That is what Polly Evans always
thought and she spent many an hour
trying to devise some plan of prize
giving that would mean NO DlSAP-
POIN TEO boys and girls.

cry boy and every giIl who answers
her puzzles correctly.

was passed upon by an exert, is a pro-
nounced success. W. Irwin Cheyney.
of Philadelphia, who during three
days visit to this city recently Sub
jeCted the plant to a most rigid test
has presented his report
Addressing the members of the Eleo-
trio Light Committee Mr.. Cheyney
states that he finds the engine to con-
form with the specifications in every
respect; il mas ample horse power to
do our work at 80 pounds boiler pres
sure; the regulation of speed is first
class and the engine is doing it's woI k
in a very satisfactory manner.
He finds the generator for capacity,
heat limits, speed and efficiency to be
all within specifiostions. The switch
board, EXETER, regulators and connec-
tions are all in good shape: the work
manship is good and the whole job is
safe and conforms to the speciflea-
tiOns.
On inspection the lines we're foun
in good condition and the work is be-
ing we'll done. The arc lamps are
steady and free from no Sc as posi-.
BILE.
Mr.. Cheyney made a few recon-
mendations that relate to some details.
Summing up he said: "On the whole
your engine, generator, switch board I,

PHILA y READING R. r.
SOLOMON DERK'S
STRANGE RIDE

Among the visitors TO this city yes
terday was Solomon Derk of Shamok
in, a man who in a remarkable way
illustrates that bodily inirmity, even
though the most grievOus affllction,
need not necessarily embtter man to
the world and cut off his capacity for
enjoyment.
Solomon Derk is seventy eight years
of age. In addition he has not walked
for twenty-five years, being victim
of paralysis and disabled from the hips
down. Solomon, however, who is gift
ed with genial, sunny disposition.
does not mind the advancing years
and he very easily gets over the in
trinity of not being able to walk by
installing his bed IN a covered wagon
and employing a driver TO take him
wherever he wishes to 60. Thus he is
enable to enjoy many an extended trip
out among the green fields and over
the country roads that he knew in
early life, visiting old friends by the
way.
Yesterday he passed through Dan
willie in his comfortable bedwagon on
his way to Mooresburg, where Mr..
Derk said be knew the Moser family
and would call upon them. The wsg-
on was in charge of George o. Au-
man, a Councilman of the Tenth Ward
of Shamokin. They left Shamokin yes
terday morning and arrived In Dan
willie via the free ferry about 4 o'clock.
During the short sojourn in this city
Mr. Derk found time 10 renew &C.
quaintance with several friends. The
old man lying on his couch became
very reminiscent and dweIt with an
imation upon the more active days of
his life when he served an enlistment
in the l06th Regiment in the Civil
War or made his living as shingle
maker in the woods of Columbia and
Northumberland counties.
Mr.. Derk speut many years of his
life in the vicinity of what is known
as the Derk Settlement living be-
tween MillviIle and Pine Summit,
Columbia County. He was a famous
single maker in the days when shin
giles were worked out by hand. When
in his prime, lie said yesterday, he
built up great records in the woods.
1t was his boast that more than once
he had taken tree growing in the
woods. cut it down ana worked out
1000 shingles, all in one half a day.
Mr.. Derk does not like Shamokin.
He says the town is too noisy" and
the object of his visit to Mooresburg
is to see whether he can not rent a
house at that place. Failing at Moores-
burg he will proceed to Pottsgroye,
where he thinks he would also like to
live.
Solomon Derk lying on his bed pass
ed through DanvilIe nearly two years
ago He was then on his way TO Wat
sontown to visit some old friends.

arrangement of departments that Will

sists in improved showing
The annex to the foundry was the
first portion completed. The floors are
all in shape and new moulders are be-
ing employed as fast as they arrive.
From some eighty, at present employ
ed. the number will be increased to a
hundred or over. As at present ar
ranged there is no more commod
ious. better ventilated or better light
ed shop in the country. To facilitate
work and make il easier for the mould
ers a trolley system is contemplated
and will probably be installed very
pola to the various floors. Instead of
being laboriously carried by hand to
the remote end of the foundry the
heavy ladies of molten metal will be
suspended from an overhead trolley
and pushed along with scarcely any
effort.
The capacity of the mounting room
has been doubled by the addition of
another story. Several new mounters
have already been employed and more
will be taken on later. The second
story in the mounting department Is
one of the most desirable apartments
about the whole plant, being we'll
lighted, airy and decorated with a
coat of whitewash. Several new mach
ines are being installed in the clean
ing room while every department is
being enlarged to keep pace with the
increased capacity of the moulding
department.
About a year ago the offices were re-
moved from the first story to the sec
ond floor. Among other changes that
followed. the supply department, pre-
sided over by William Flick. has also
been removed from the first story and
is now installed on the second floor of
the main warehouse adjacent to the
offices.
AS a result of the enlargement and
the improved facilities the product OF
the plant will be increased by at least
one-third.
