foul ODuRS
At THE CANAL

The foul and stagnant condition of
the canal above and Immediately be-
low the Mill street oulvert is causing
much unfavorable comment about
town and the wonder Is expressed that
the Board OF Health does not take &C.
tion In the matter. The general un-
sightliness OF the bottom Of the canal
at that point has besn alluded to in
these columns. but during the Last few
days conditions have become much ag-
gsavated and under the lengthening
days foul odors have begun to arise
that at times make it unpleasant for
persons passing over the culvert.
1t is true the d. L. & W. Railroad
Company has taken up the matter and
promises cooperation with the Bor-
ough to abate the drainage nuisance.
but II the remedy is to lie in piping
and filling up the canal. relief is still
a good way off in the future.
What is needed is immediate relief.
Other seasons drain was opened in
the middle Of the canal, which reliev-
ed matters somewhat by preventing
stagnation. Why the present state of
things should be tolerated is hard to &C
count for? The Borough at q heavy ex-
pense built q oulvert; it is massive and

A Fight Against Noise.

A citizen Of Wilmington sued the
trolley company because its cars made
too much noise. The jury awarded
him six cents damages.
This, we protest, is insufficient to
reward the citizen for his endeavor to
crush soulless corporation. When a
street car makes noise and public
spirited effort to abate it is made, tn g
gentleman who valiantly assumes the
role Of the peoples proxy really de-
serves more than six cents. more
appropriate verdict would have been
1--WE find that the plaintiff SO closely
resembles thirty cents that we hereby
award him that amount
There is space for further successful
litigation along this line. We expect
that some day another publio-spirited
citizen will move for noiseless wheels.
a noiseless signal gong. a noiseless
register and noiseless conductor
There's plenty of room for improve
ment, or at least plenty of opportunity
for anti-noise litigation.
But, for some unexplained reason,
the public only laughs at the public
spirited prosecutor.

the Federal Court for the fraudulent
use of the United States Mails OH ord
ering goods on the credit OF Jones and

The Danville Stove and Manufaotur-
ing Company was one of the firms that
Powell tried to viotimize.
Powell carried on his business from
Norfolk, writing his letters and orders
for goods there under Raleigh date
line and sending them to the latter
city by hand to be mailed. Orders we're
sent on the credit of "Jones 8 Po-
WE'LL" Raleigh, to houses in many
parts of the country and the goods
shipped to Raleigh. Some of the re-
plies to letters aud shipments came in
to the hands of the real Raleigh firm
of Jones g. Powell and they brought
the matter to the attention of the au.
thorities, the result being the arrest of
Powell just about the time that he
had gotten a man here to reship the
goods to various other points as they
arrived from those who we're shipping
them to Raleigh to a firm having q
high Dunn and bradstIeet rating.
Several car loads of goods came be-

Professionals on SATURDAY..

The Wilkesbarre Profess ionals, who
will be the base ball attraction at De-
Wits Park on Saturday. are fast
aggregation and will no doubt attract
a large crowd. They defeated the
American Gar and Foundry Company
club at Berwick last Saturday by q
score of 8 to l and are considered one
of the best teams in Central Pennsyl-
vania. 1t has been demonstrated in
the past that when Danville players
go against good strong team they
usually produce the guilt-edge article
themselves and if history is to repeat
itself lne exhibition may bs expect
ed.
As for the next attraction. little need
be said. The "Cuban Giants" with
Old Pop Watkins at the helm will be
with US OIL Monday and Tuesday next,
and to say there will be things doin'
those afternoons would be putting it
mildly, for as is we'll known those
dusky monarchs of the diamond never
sleep during working hours. from about
3:15 to O'Clock each afternoon, and
if the home team wins, which they ex-
pect to dol it will be after a very busy
session.
MoCloud on a former occasion was
more than equal to the emergency in
the box. and with Deem officiating in
ona Of the games it is hoped that vic
tory will again be ours. Old reliable
Jesse Shannon. whose grand sensa-
tional catch which resulted in trip
le play in the ninth inning. leading to
shut out against the Giants two
years ago. has retired from the game
and his place in center field is filed
by Clay berger, who is also an ideal
outfielder.
The Giants not only give wonder
full exhibition of base ball but amuse
the audience with music and witty
sayings from the time the gates open
until the game is won or lost. The
management are at great expense to
secure these strong clubs and should
be encouraged by good attendance.
The line up will appear in this pap
er later.

Our magnificent river bridge in a

Light Company of this city has been
awarded the contract for wiring and
lighting the bridge by the DanvilIe

which has obligated itself to light thu
bridge as a part of the price 1t pays
for the privilege of laying its track y
on the structure.
The Standard Electric Light Com.
pany has already began the work OF
wiring the bridge and George M. West,
Superintendent of the Company, yes.
teIday stated, that by Saturday night
or Monday at the furthest the bridge
will be lit up by electricity.
There are in all sixteen ornamental
lamp posts. eight on either sidewalk,
each of which is supplied with a place
for two electric light bulbs. Mr. West
says that the lights-thirty-two in
number-will he of sixteen candle
power. which ought to light up the
bridge very nicely.
The wire will be brought up thro rough
the hollow posts SO that the bulbs only
will be visible. The STANDARD Electric
Light Company yesterday removed its
wires, temporarily suspended overhead
in the roadway. to their permanent
position on the top of the bridge. he
wires are carried from the top of the

Seven Bands in Line.

The fact is established that the
Fourth of July parade will not be de-
ficient in music. The one thousand
firemen, the military. the secret and
other societies will march to the music
of at least seven bands aud two drum
corps. There will be five bands from
out of town; at the meeting of the
Citizens Celebration Committee on
Friday night the Mechanicsville baud
was employed, while at the meeting
of the same body last night it was de.
oided to hire Stoes' band for the day.

last night; Ralph Kisner. Esq. Burgess
Pursel. w. V. Oglesby. Esq. Edward

and J. T. Magill.
On motion it WAS decided that u
committee be appointed to attend to
the purchase of fire works. The Chair
man appointed John F. Tooley and W.
j. Rogers ON said committee.
Secretary Purpur reported that the
total amount OF money subscribed thus
far is $77S.
The Celebration Committee is some-
what discouraged over the slim re-
sponss at rehearssls, especially as it
has gone to the expense to purchase
music for chorus on nearly two hun
! dred voices.
1t was decided last night that the
fremen's contest be held on North
Mill street between the steam grIst
mill and Center street.
1t was also ordered that the large
posters printed be put up in Danville
