Sure He Drew a Prize.

J. g. Homet, the distillery Rauger
who advertised for wife, and who,
through the advertisement, obtained a
wife in the person of a Philadelphia
girl, says he thinks he has discoy red
a prize.
Mr.. Homet's place of work is at the
McHenry distillery, near Benton, but
he is now temporarily staying at Forest
Hill. near Lewisburg. A dispatch from
Lewisburg, printed in Philadelphia
newspaper yesterday morning says:
Jewet G. Homet, the "Barkis'' of
Union County,is evidently we'll pleas
ed with the result of his matrimonial
advertisement. Although he failed to
marry Miss Gertrude Mccoy. of Bucks
County, he still received offers of mar.
riage. From the first lot of letters re-
ceived, Homet read one, the contents
of which so appealed to him that he
decided that the girl should be made
Mrs. Homet. The choice of the 5S-
year-old widower was Miss Mary
Elizabeth Brooks, of Philadelphia.
Negotiations were at once opened,
and on Tuesday, Homet met his future
wife at MifflinburR. The ceremony
was performed the next day by Rev.
'. T. Rue, of Mttlinburg. at the board.
ing house of the Homets at Forest Hill.
When questioned yesterday Homet said
that his three days of married life
have proven that his bride possesses
the qualifications enumerated in his
advertisement. He said: My wife is
81 years old. She has been for several
years stenographer and typewriter in
the employ of large manufacturing
plant in the city of Philadelphia. She
is an intelligent girl, of cheerful dis
position, and it is remarkable how she
has adapted herself to her new home.
Considering that she is book
keeper, feel that she will be great
help to me in my clerical work at Nc.
Henry's distllery, at Benton, Pa,
where in week or so, we viii go to
live"
Mrs. Homet said: ~ find Jewet an
affectionate husband and charming
companion. Although he is 81 years
my senior cannot help but love him.
Mrs. Homet refused to give her ad.
dress in Philadelphia. In considera-
tion of the fondness of Mr.. HoIuet for
Quaker City bread. and the refusal of
his wife to name her former employees,
it is thought by some that he may
have married professional baker in
order to enjoy continually his favorite
repast.

for the dependent one. On the other
hand should family here desire to
take an orphan or other child into
their home the Advisory Committee
will be expected to furnish reliable
and necessary information as to the
standing of the family, whether or not
it is of good Christian character and
such as could be expected to raise a
child up in the way it should go.

Double Wedding Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. O. Voris, of this
city, yesterday rounded out fifty years
of married life. They celebrated the
event at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
William p. Voris at Northumberland
who were married on the same date.
The day was full of enjoyment to those
participating and revived in memory
many incidents, many pleasant pictures
of life that belonged to that epoch a
half a century ago when those now old
though with hearts none the less fond
aud loving. we're just entering togeth-
er upon the threshold of married life.
1t proved to be the merest coincid-
ence that Elijah O. Voris of Danville
and his brother William of Northum-
berland were united in matrimony on
the same day. There was nothing pre-
arranged about it and although the
two couples took their wedding trip
together the two brides had never met
until stepping upon the train after the
ceremony.
MIS-. E. G. Voris before marriage
was Miss Julia Troxell, daughter of
Benjamin Troxell of Chillisquaque
township, Northumberland county.
The wedding took place at the home
of the bride on March 90. 1866, Rev.

berland. where Mr.. Voris conducts the
blacksmlthing business.
There was nothing whatever elabor.
ate about the celebration yesterday.
Charles E. Voris as the only surviving
child accompanied his parents to
Northumberland. Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Gray of Williamsport, Mrs. James
MINER, Of Birmingham, Ala, and
John B. Voris who resides with his
parents at Northumberland were also
present at the reunion. Mrs. Maria
Killing Of Lewisburg. who was brides
maid to Mrs William Voris fifty years
ago, was one of the honored guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. @. Voris went to
housekeeping on Centre street, this
city. where they lived for years. re.
moving later to the present homestead
OH Ferry street, here they have resid.
ed for Al years.
William Voris is the younger broth
er, bsing 75 years of age. Our towns
man. e. O. Voris, will be so OH his
next birthday. He has lived in Dan
vile SO years. For 81 years he was
employed at the Montour Iron Works,
now owned and operated by the Read
ing Iron Company. For 10 years of
this time he was Superintendent of
the Foundry and Machine shop. The
two brothers who have rounded out
fifty years Of married life are the only
survivors of a family Of fourteen. Both
couples are in fairly good health and
although not robust bid fair to survive
for good many years. They received
many we'll wishes yesterday, the con.
gratulations coming with as much zeal
and fervency as those inspired by the
happy wedding half century ago.

CONTRACTORS ON
THE GROUNDS

Four car loads of material have ar
rived at South Danville for the floor
ing in the river bridge and work on
that branch of the operation will no
doubt begin in a few days.
The United States Wood Preserving
Company has the contract for putting
down the flooring or pavement, which
is something entirely new in these
parts. The flooring will consist OF
substructure of concrete and another
course of paving blocks. Caldwell,
Barry g. Leonard, who built the piers
and abutments of the bridge, have the
contract for putting down the con-
crete John Ed. Foley of New York,
will lay the paving blocks. Both Mr..
Foley and representatives Of the firm
of Caldwell. Barry & Leonard, were
in this city yesterday.
During an interview Mr.. Foley stat,
ed that the contractors were ready to
begin work on the flooring. Four car
loads of material, he said, had arriv-
ed and were at South Danville. Un-
fortunately. however, the bridge was
not in such shape as to enable them to
proceed at once. The bridge contract
ors have not vet completed the iron
work, but he seemed to regard the un-
finished condition of the Southern ap-
proaoh to the bridge as worse OBJ
stacle. In Mr.. Foley's opinion it
would require but three or four days
more to finish riveting down the floor
plates, while in view Of the blocked
condition and filling up required at
the Southern abutment he would ven
ture no opinion as to when things
would be in such shape as to enable
teams to pass in order that floor ma
terial could be delivered on the bridge.
Mr.. Foley returned to New York yes
terday afternoon.
The County Commissioners state that
they will see to it as far as they are
able that work is pushed along on the
Southern abutment as rapidly as posi-
BILE. Contractor Ellis Rank is ready
to begin work filling up the abutment,
but owing to the accumulation OF
bridge material lying all aboat the ap'
proaoh it is impossible for him TO gel
into the bridge with his teams. A
soon as it suits the convenience of the
bridge people to open way he will
begin work on filling up the abutment
Ashes have been ordered aud these
will ba delivered by the Pennsylvani s
Railroad at South Danville at any
day. The Commissioners think thai
the abutment will be filled up SO thai
teams can pass by the time that the
bridge is ready for the flooring. Il
not. they claim. it will be an easy mat
ter to construct gangway at the abut
meet 'or temporary use.

CABLE DROPS
IN THE RIVER

The river cable belonging to the
United Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, met with an accident yesterday
by which it was torn from its support
and rent into several different pieces,
destroying direct communication with
Sunbury and Shamokin and cutting of
all the patrons of the system living in
South Danville aud Riverside.
The long cable was stretched across
the river nearly year ago. Support.
ed at each shore on long poles pla nted
high on the river bank the cable when
new was very high above the water.
To install it was quite feat. 1t will
be recalled that in stretching the cable
it was necessary to send man across
the river with no other support than
the thin messenger wire. He attracted
an immense crowd as he seemed to
hang in mid air some fifty feet above
the water.
High as the cable was at first before
many weeks it began to sag and con.
tinued to drop lower and lower until
Monday when it was only few feet
above the water. AS the river rose the
cable touched the current and yester.
day morning for a long distance it was
completely under water.
In this position it was in great dan.
ger. A mass of ice or heavy piece Of
driftwood striking 1t v ould have brok.
en- it or wrested it from its fastening
and carried it down stream. To pre-
vent such contingency crew Of line
men we're called out and an attempt
was made to tighten the cable. Heavy
rope and tackle we're attached at the
Danville end and while the crew ap.
piled their united strength to the rope
something gave way on the opposite
shore and the cable fell slack into the
river.
An Investigation showed that the
second pole on the South side about
one hundred feet back from the one
bearing the main support gave way
owing to the soft nature Of the ground
and was pulled by the weight of the
assemblage of wires down to the river
bank where, held BY the wires that
were still attached, it hung suspended
from the top Of the high pole that car
ried the cable.
The tug of war lay in the effort to
raise the cable from the river. In &C.
complishing this the river bridge stood
in good stead. The sidewalk rs far as
finished afforded an excellent place for
the linemen. Ropes were attached to
the cable and by means of rope and
tackle it was drawn up onto the bridge.
The work required the greater part of
the afternoon. Nearly all the wire
was saved, although it was broken or
cut into many different sections.
1t is doubtful whether any attempt
will be made to re-establish the cable
in its old position on the poles. Ow-
ing to the near completion Of the
bridge application will doubtless be
made for permission to string the wires
on that structure as was done when
the old bridge stood.
Among the wires that we're destroy
ed were all those leading to Riverside,
the direct line to Sunbury and the di.
rect line to Shamokiu. While it is i'm
possible to communicate with anyone
in South Danville or Riverside it is
still possible to talk to Sunbury and
Shsmokin by using the wire that ex.
tends around by Milton.
