Another Awning is Removed.

The property owners certainly merit
praise for the manner in which they
take hold of sidewalk improvement on
Mill street. Over considerably more
than one-half of the street the pave
ments are finished. The repairs in ev-
cry instance are in skillful and re-
sponsible hands The work is nowhere
sighted and the broad twelve foot
sidewalks artistioally finished gives our
paved street an appearance that COM
pares favorably with our larger cities.
Yesterday the wooden awning was
taken down from in front of the Gold
smith building occupied by X. l..
Marks clothing store. W. l.. Sidler's
fine flag stone pavement is completed
at Mill aud East Market street. Work
yesterday was begun on the new flag
stone pavement adjoining belonging to
the David Clark estate, in front of the
building occupied by. DR.. 1. Fl. Jen-
nings. A pavement to match will be
laid in front of ]. ID. Gosh's drug
store, stone for which have already
been unloaded on the spot. Among
other pavements that have been ex-
tended outward to conform with the
relocation of the curbinR brought
about bv street paving is the hand
some concrete sidewalk in front Of the
Scarlet residence, which was complet-
ed a few days ago.

House Struck by Lightning.

During the thunder storm last even
ing about six O'Clock the residence of
Harry Redding. No. 2i6 Foust street,
was struck by lightning and the family
severely shocked.
! Mr.. Redding was sitting on his back
porch. His son Harry, aged II, WAS
about to leave the yard with wheel
barrow and was approaching the south
side of the house when his father sug-
gested that he go around the north
side In which direction he had just
started. when the lightning stroke oo-
Cured passing around the house from
the east, tearing away a portion of the
porch roof, splitting one of the posts,
ripping up part of the floor, and scat
tering pieces in all directions.
BY acting ON his fathers advice and
taking the opposite side of the house
the young man undoubtedly saved his
life. Mrs. Redding who was in the
rear room was shocked, her first i'm
preston being that she had been shot.
The lightning affected Mr.. Redding
more than any other member of the
family,as he was only eight feet from
where the bolt entered the house. One
leg was nearly deprived of sensation
and for two hours afterward was numb.
Jacob Winters. who was in the rear
of lot on the opposite side of the
street, was knocked down by the shock.

Heaviest Rain of Season.

The rain yesterday called halt on
the several improvements under way
about town, although it was very time
ly and m ost highly appreciated by the
farmers. A finely developed wheat
crop and a good yield of hay with pos
sibly the exception of clover is assur-
ed.
One of the heaviest showers of the
season visited this section last even
ing 1t came from the West about 6
O'Clock eliminating in downpour,
which oveitaxed the spouting and
made river Of Mill street where paw
ed. The rain covered wide area and
was If possible heavier at Washington
Vile than at Danville. Like the show
ers which preceded it during the day
the rain was unaccompanied by wind
or by any marked electrical manifesto
tion. 1t was of the sort to accomplish
the greatest amount of good to the
growing crops with the least amount
of damage possible to the farmer.

TO HOSPITAL
ENTRANCE

The proposition made by the Trus
tees of the Hospital to the Danville
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 witbdraws its exceptions to the
vacation of the road between a. couple
of hundred feet this side of the Bor-
ouRh line and the oulvert over the can
al at the Hospital entrance. At the
same time the Hospital trustees With
draw the injunction. granted by the
Montour County Court against the
Danville 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 the canal on the south side.
1t was learned from the trolley oom-
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 it's 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.

The Portable Saloon.

The portable saloon in Freeland must
90, according to the decree of the Tax
PAYERS Association. and as result,
seven bottlers were arrested Tuesday
aud obliged to give bond for appear
ance at next term Of court.
There are now fifteen beer vendors
arrested on charge of violating the Ii
cense law. The men arrested are for
the most part employees of brewers, who
sent teams into the mining villages.
These drivers sold beer and whiskey
by the bottle or keg from the wagon,
and none held an individual license.
The business was growing to such
proportion that on payday at the mines
the number of beer wagons lined up in
some villages was as great as the num-
ber of houses. Goal and iron police,
have repeatedly been ordered to drive
them out, but with little success.
Temperance people have drummed at
the coal companies to stop the traffic
with the same result. District Attor-
ney Jones, urged by the taxpayers,
has taken hand and is determined to
make q clean job of it.

LOCAL TEAMS
FINE GAME

lu close. we'll played game of base
ball. the Danville team defeated the
Cuban Giants at DeWitt's Park Tu.
@ day afternoon. The contest from
start to finish WAS intensely interest
ing and exciting.
Danville went into the game deter
mined, il possible, to redeem Mondays
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
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 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-
ing WAS one in the two last innings.

O'Clock. The return judges will meet

the ticket. The Republicans use the
system of Crawford county. and the
man with the highest vote wins. There
are two candidates for county treasur-
er, Emanuel Malick of Shamokin and
Robert Muir of Mt. Carmel. Gil Bur-
rows. of Sunbury, has the Prothonotary
nomination, as there are no other can
didates. There are four candidates for
County Commissioner: George W.
Raudenbush, of Mt. Carmel; Cooper
A. Tharp of Goal township; Harvey
Wenzel of Montandon. B. l.. Evans of
Mt. Carmel is the only candidate for
the office of mine inspector and DR.. O.
r. Holshue, of Shamokin, has the race
for coroner all to himself. There are
three candidates for county auditor
]. E. Deveraux of Goal township; O.
K. MorRanroth and VIM. j. Thomas Of
Shamokin. The latter is a member of
the present board.

rlany Questions are Asked.

An inquiry repeatedly made by per-
sons attracted TO 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
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 a nice retaining wall could
not be built. after which little fill
ing up would complete the work.

ADJOURNED MEET.
ING OF TRUSTEES

The Trustees of the Hospital for the
Insane held an adjourned meeting at
the Institution Tuesday, the follow
ing members Of the board being pres
ent Messrs. H. NJ. SCHOOL,. ". l..
Gouger of Danville, Hon. Alexander
Billmeyer of Washingtonville. Hon.
NJ. Fl. Kulp of Shamokin. W. +. Shay
of Watsontown. and DR.. Shoemaker OF
Wilkesbarre. Philip II. johnson of
Philadelphia. architect for the temp
orAry buildings to be erected at the
Hospital here and who accompanied
the appropriations oOmmittee of the
State Legislature on its visit to the
Danville Institution last winter, was
also present at the meeting OF Trustees
yesterday. Truman Rietmeyer Of Will
iampsort, architect for the four new
buildings erected at the institution
last year. was also at the Hospital yes
terday look ing 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-
journsd meeting yesterday Architect
johnson submitted the plans for the
temporary buildings and these were
approved by the Trustees. The loca-
tion and number of these temporary
structures, which are to be one STORY
high. 200 feet long and 36 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 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 a brother-in law of
Israel W. Durham of the Durham Nc
Nickel contract firm of Philadelphia.
The Trustees yesterday we're 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. O. P. Hancock. W. A. Heller
and o. 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
Staples at Danville last week. The
Trustees made proposition looking
to the bringing of the trolley track
from the Borough line up to the Hos
pital entrance, which the trolley COM
pany is holding under brief considera-
tion.

River Bridge Lighted I'D.

The bridge was lighted up last night
for the first, convenience which was
much appreciated under the darkness
of the cloudy rainy skies.
Each of the posts contained two elec-
trio light bulbs, with the exception Of
the two on each abutment, which were
not lighted. Superintendent West ex-
planned to representative of the News
that the remaining lights at each end
would be in service by Saturday night.
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
bridge sets the structure of very nice
ly while the light shed on each side
walk although not of remarkable brill
lianoy, yet is quite sufficient for walk
ing, enabling one to avoid obstacles
and TO recognize acquaintance.
