ago; guaranteed the furnishing of
money necessary, together with the
cities of High Point and Greensboro.
and the special bill was passed by
State Senate yesterday authorizing the
issuing of city bonds to take those of

MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC
Light PLANT

V. r. Hughes, Of Watertown, N.
Y, came to Danville yesterday after.
noon, for the purpose of superintend.
ing the placing in position Of the
Municipal light engine and dynamo.
He lost no time in getting to work.
Under his direction the engine was
soon firmly settled on its bed in the
cement floor. The bolts that had been
placed in position befors tho engine
was built. all proved to be in their
proper positions. All measurements
had been correctly taken, thus doing
away with the annoyance and incon
venienoe Of things not fitting, SO fre-
quently encountered when machinery
is being put up.
Mr.. Hughes will not be able, he
says, to complete his work this trip.
He will have to return to Danville
| again before that can be accomplished
on account of other things being in his
way. In week or so he will have the
engine and dynamo up and the parts
and pieces attached and adjusted. At
ter that he can do nothing more until
all the poles are set, the wire strJ teh-
ed and the switch boards placed in
position, all Of which must be done by
the linemen now engaged at that work
before he can come back to get the
machinery ready for operation.

FIRE At THE
GILIASpY House

The toilet room on the tirstEhoor of
the Gillaspy House was slightly dam
aged by fire. Sunday morning. The
blaze was discovered at about 10
O'Clock. A few minutes later and the
entire interior Of the room would have
been wrapped in flames. and spreading
to other portions of the building.
would likely have oaused a serious
conf1sgration.
The toilet room is at the rear of the
bar room, and sll entrances to the lat
ter we're closed on account of Sunday.
Men seated 10 the office, were aroused
to the situation of affairs by the smell
Of burning wood and the sight of smoke
issuing through cracks under the bar
room doors. Being unable to gain an
entrance they called upstairs to Mr..
Gillaspy. informing him that the bar
room was on fire. When the latter
opened a door leading into the bar
room he was net by cloud of smoke
that nearly drove every guest from the
building. 1t was tou dense to see in.
to the room and too suffocating to ven
ture into, until the greater portion had
made Its escape through the windows
and doors which had been hurriedly
opened. When the bar room was suf.
f1oiently clear for an observation TO be
taken, it was quickly discovered that
the blaze was not in that apartment.
but In the toilet room. The fire was
under the long wash stand on the
north side Of the room. and when locat.
ed had eaten Its way nearly through
the wainscoting and small portion
Of the floor. 1t was burning briskly
and in little while would have COM
munioated with the joist and uprights
Of the building, where on account of
the narrow space of the closet and
passageways leading thereto, it would
have been hard to fight had it once got.
ten rightly started.
By hard work on the part of Mr..
Gillaspy and the men who sounded
the alarm, the blaze was fiually
quenohed with the aid of buckets and
a small garden hose. Several of the
fire companies responded to an alarm,
but we're not required to go into SER
vice. The damages were slight.

IT Was A
. "N' = LUCKY SHOT

A correspondent furnishes the paper

The former had employed the latter to
help butcher a beef, an animal Of rath-
sr vicious disposition as the sequel
will disclose.
When everything was ready for the
daughter, the men entered the barn
yard. This is enclosed by high board
fence. on the outside of which load
cd gun was left standing by mistake.
The stable door was opened, and the
"Stub Horned Jersey" allowed to
GROSS the threshold out into the yard.
He seemed quiet and docile, and gave
no indications that he was going to
create a disturbance. Nor did he dis.
play any vindictiveness until one of
the men started in the direction of the
gun. Whether he suspected the use to
which the weapon was to be put and
decided to sell his life dearly, can not
be vouched for. However, his move.
ments would suggest that he had
thoughts Of that kind on his mind dur
Ing the next few moments. Suddenly
lowering his head he made a plunge

trying to escape the infuriated animal
by running around a straw stack, Mr..
Kimble fell and, before he could regain
his feet the brute was upon him. Ror.

around the straw stack, the men kept
the enraged steer from reaching them

clubs. During the exciting chase when
one Of the men fell, the other renewed

the race continued for fully 10 min.

Mr.. Moore succeeded in getting hold

CONDITION OF
TIRE RIVER

With the exception Of being some.
what stronger than on the previous
day, owing to the continued freezing
weather on Sunday night. there were
but little changes in the condition of
the lriver Monday. The foot pass age
was we'll used, and in consequence q
fairly we'll beaten path now spans the
stream. There was less danger In cross
ing, and consequently people were not
under the necessity of using as much
caution as they were on Sunday.
AS yet the ice is not solid enough
for teams to CROSS upon with safety.
William Mettler. OF South Danville,
drove over sand back Monday after
noon, but he took a great risk In do
ing so. On his trip from theiSou IL
to the North side he encountered CON-
siderable trouble. He attempted to
drive between two air holes and the
ice sank until the water ran over to
the depth of several inches. uThat
caused him to make long route up
the river and back to the ferry land.
ing. He followed the same route on
his return trip, and reached the other
shore with apparent ease. Mr.. Mettler
was the first to CROSS In vehicle when
the river froze over in December.
A few air holes are still visible, and
the strong current has cut O broad
channel through the ice between the
North abutment and first pier. This
extends from short distance above
the bridge to point below the water
works, and the water flows through 1t
with great swiftnsss.
The clear, smooth Ice on the South
side of the river, affords the best skat.
ing of the season, and lovers of that
sport are taking advantage of 1t.
