SINBURY DEFEATS
DANVILLE

In short, snappy game. Sunbury.
the Champions of the Susquebanna
League, defeated the Danville A. A.
team at DeWitt's Park Tuesday af-
ternoon.
MoOloud again proved his ability to
puzzle hitters of high class and with
perfect control allowed the pennant
winners only six safe singles. AS an
other feature he issued not n single
pass to first and the visitors outfield
secured but one put out which is a
remarkable performance at any time,
but much more SO when accomplished
against team acknowledged to be the
fastest team in this section. The locals
we're unable to gauge Townsend's de-
livery to any great extent. and on &C.
count of the perfect fielding of the
visitors we're compelled to earn the
only run they secured on Clayberger's
two bagger followed by Ross long hit
to left field. Ross play at third was
again the gilt edge article.
Several times the locals had chance
to score had the necessary hit materi-
allied but it was not Forthcoming. The
game was u 6ne one and was much en-
joyed by the small audience present
Following Is the SCORE: :.

Through freight. No. 81. with
Tamsqua crew. passing through Data
wissA at 8 80 O'Clock. Friday night
was In q collision at Main street cross
ing at Oataw issa, which. easily. nigh
have ended much more seriously than
it did, Q car filled with powder being
next to the car struck by the engine.
Each night the eniRne gets coal and
water at Oataw issa, and usually the
engine is out from the train on the
Friday night It was not until Main
street crossing was reached that the
train was cut.
Forgetting that the train was left at
an unusual place, the enigneer started
the engine at a high rate of speed
down the track. after securing coal and
water, aud collision resulted.
The engine hit the train with such
force that the report aroused the oiti.
xens OF that section. who fooked to
the scene. The tank of the engine was
badly damaged aud coal from the Oar
that was struck was hurled into the
street. with places OF wood from the
car.
In the very next car was the powder,
and the reason assigned for it's failing
to explode is the care with which it
had been packed.
The engine was taken to the Data
wissa shops, where IL will be repair
ed.
Another engine was secured and
traffic WAS delayed only about fifteen
minutes.

heavy one.

Solicitors are Encouraged.

Hon. James Foster, President OF the
Soldiers Monument Committee. yes
terday stated he was much gratified
with tho encouragement met with by
the Committee at Large appointed to
solicit for the Soldiers Monument,
Henry A. Kniebler and Frank G.
Sohoch. He states. however, that he
had full confidence in the people Of
Montour county and never despaired of
raising the money needed to erect a
monument in memory of the men who
so calamity offered up their lives for
their country. FIe believes that the
money will all be forthcoming in the
form OF voluntary offering. All that
is needed is to make a proper canvass.
M. Foster rallies upon everyone sub
scrihing something. The object Is one
which appeals to the heart OF all who
appreciate the blessings of their ooun-

WILL TRANSPLANT
ANOTHER TREE

1t seems doubtful whether the efforts
of those who signed the petition last
week supplemented with the communi-
cation from the State Department of
Forestry printed yesterday will be
potent enough to dissuade the County
Commissioners from removing tho
trees along West Market street TO make
room for the concrete pavement.
The Commissioners are keeping their
own counsel in the matter but things
have advanced far enough to show
that there is no disposition to change
plans. Contractor Evans acting under
instructions has already begun ex-
oavatiug for the West Market street
pavement An assault on the trees was
held of as long as possible, but yester-
day the roots of the tree nearest Mil
street. on one side were wholly cut
away by the workmen so that all ef-
forts to save the tree from now on will
be futile.
The tree transplanted last week un-
der the supervision of Emanuel Slider
is fresh and vigorous looking notwith-
standing that the transplanting took
place under the most unfavorable con-
ditions. Contrary to expectations the
tree has shown no signs of dropping
and that 1t will continue to grow and
flourish seems a practically assured
fact.
Encouraged by their success In the
one instance the County Commission
ers, 1t is said, Will transplant one of
the remaining trees, placing 1t at the
lower end of the row on the Court
House lawn where vacant spot oo-
ours. This will also be done under the
supervision of Emanuel Slider, who
seems to possess the secret of success
in transplanting trees. In this way
she Commissioners hope to compensate
the removal Of the trees on the curb,
providing, with the trees on the op-
posite side of the street, ample shade
OH the spot.

A Souvenir of Interest.

A large photograph, 1890 inches, of
the first trolley car operated on the
Danville and Sunbury street Railway
is an attraction in the window Of K.
J. Evans barber shop in the Brown
building. The big photograph. which
ia the properly of W. A. Heller. was
enlarged from photograph taken by
Will q. Brown at the entrance to the
river bridge, when the first car which
passed over the line reached that point
on July 3rd.
The original picture was fine piece
of amateur work, but it was not large
enough to brinR out all the details
with full effect. The enlarged picture
however, has accomplished all, AMI
every object and every face seems real
and life-like. AS n production OF art
it is remarkable in Its way and is a
souvenir whose value will increase as
time wears on.
