FOUR HOUSES
BURGLARIzED

Our town on Saturday morning was
thrown into state of excitement by
news that several burgIaries had been
committed during the night. Four
houses were robbed. the burglars get
ting away with considerable booty.
Three houses broken into we're sit
mated ON East Market street. At the
fourth house. East Market street, oc-
oupied by Abram Burger, the burglars
were in the point of gaining admit
tance when Mrs. Thompson, a dsugh-
ter. was aw ened, who gave the alarm.
The burglars. two in number. escaped,
but in passing under the electric light
lamp they we're seen by Newton Pur-
sci. who noted that they were men
both short of stature.
At Frank Bergner's the burglars
broke open window and stole gold
watch belonging to Mrs. Bergner.
They did not arouse any of the in
mates and Mr.. and MRS Bergner did
not know they were robbed until Sat.
urday morning.
At Whitefield Ford's they also foro-
ed an entrance through window and
operated so quietly that they did not
cause any alarm. They there stole
eight dollars in money.
At John Johns the burglars found
one OF the windows raised and screen
inserted. They had no difficulty in
gaining entrance here. Inside they
ran across q lot of eatables and par
took of quite lunch. leaving the rem
nants of their feast scattered over
the floor. Their booty consisted of q
child's bank containing small sum
of money.
Leaving East Market street the bur-
glars proceeded to the D. L. q W.
station where they attacked the hotel
opposite conducted by Eugene Meyer.
They here forced their way through a
window into the bar room The cash
register contained about $3. This they
carried out on the railroad break ing 1t
open and removing the money. They
also stole from the hotel four bottles
of whiskey and five boxes of cigars.
The burglars were evidently strang
ers and suspicion pointed to a group
of hobos who were found in hiding
about the Bessemer blast furnace. Sat.
urday, but who we're routed during
the afternoon.

WANT TO Buy
THE FERRY

Now that the river bridge has been
completed and the prospects are that
it will be turned over to the two coun-
ties at almost any day the logical
sequence would seem to be that we
will have little more use for the ferry
boat with the cable, etc.. making up
its equipment. As consequence COM
munioations are being received at the
office Of the County Commissioners
looking to the purchase of the ferry
outfit.
The free ferry up to the present
stands the two counties about one
Thousand dollars. The outfit has been
in use trife over year and while it
has depreoiated somewhat the Com
missioners think it ought to be cheap
at one half of its cost. or five hundred
dollars, and have decided upon that
figure as q price.
The ferry boat is one of the largest
and best used on the North Branch
and 1t is wanted at several points
where bridges taken away by the ice
gorge have not yet been replaced.
According to indications 'Danville
itself may have use for the ferry for an
indefinite time longer. Up to the pres
ent the County Commissioners have
had no word as to the nature of the
inspectors report who examined the
bridge last Saturday and it is not
known whether or not the report has
been presented to the Dauphin County
Court. Complications relating to the
approach at the South Side are such as
to make it impossible to predict when
the bridge may be thrown open to the
public.
Meanwhile the farmers of Rush and
Gearhart townships are subjected to
no end of inconvenience and feel very
much aggrieved that now when the
bridge is at last completed there should
be so much delay. When they visit
town they often find it almost impos-
sible to get through with their busi-
ness in time to catch the ferry before
it closes down for the night. Now
that the river approaches low water
mark the ferry begins to make slower
time. At certain hours there is quite
a congestion Of wagons entailing a
long and tedious wait at each landing.
At IL o'clock yesterday morning there
were some fifteen vehicles waiting on
the Danville side. Half a dozen of
these we're taken on the ferry, leaving
nine; Of that number at least one half
we're left behind on the following trip
and had to wait for the greater part
of an hour. Undoubtedly we are en-
tering upon q season when all the de.
lays and annoyanoes Of ferry travel ex-
perienced before are about to be re.
peated. which makes it especially un.
fortunate that anything should occur
to prevent the use of the bridge.

RAILROAD WRECK
INVESTIGATION

That the terrific explosions which
proved 80 fatal in Thursdays railroad
wreck at Lochiel were due to the ig-
hitting of powder by live Goals which
may have been scattered among the
boxes and heaps Of explosives formed
the gist of the testimony at the ooro-
ner's inquest. Experts and chemists in
the man nufacture of powder showed
that the kind Of explosive that was
packed in the demolished car was Of q
low grade and it could not be explod-
ed except by heat at a temperature Of
S06 degrees Fahrenheit, or by q dyna.
mite spark from percussion cap and
not under any circumstances by CON-
cussion. ..Similar expert testimony dis.
proved the theory of burst gas tank.
Ths hearing was concluded late Tues
day afternoon. The testimony was
given by che crew of the freight train
which was wrecked by the sudden ap-
plication of the air brakes, and it was
this wreck into which the passenger
train, crashed. -
The freight train had been tagged
and in stopping, two cars were buck
led !; SO that it was:impossible to flag
the passenger train. One of the cars
contained about 90, 900 pounds of low
grade powder, which was exploded by
blaze starting from the wrecked en-.
gine, and not by ooncussion.
Among the witnesses we're Howard
Fry, brakeman; Lawrence Shaffer.
fireman Conductor Fitzpatrick; O. ".
Kaufman, front brakeman; and John
G. Best, engineer Of the wrecked
freight engine. Engineer Best testifi-
I'd that he made the ordinary applioa-
tion of six pounds air pressure and
followed it with six pounds.
General Superintendent Creighton
explained for the benefit of the jury,
that after searching investigation
made by the railroad officials. they had
learned that the car back Of the S7th
car, containing the powder, was steel
car, which slightly protruded upon the
passenger track and into this the en-.
gine Of the passenger train had evi.
IDENTIFY crashed.
Testimony was also given by DR.. O.
B. Dudley, an expert chemist, who
testified the explosion was caused by
the powder. and not by oonoussion.
The coroner was assisted in the in
vestigation by County Solicitor Miller
and District Attorney Weiss. Lyman
d. Gilbert of Harrisburg. appeared as
attorney for the railroad company.
Attending the hearings besides Cen
eral superintendent Creighton, of the
Main Line, we're O. A. Preston, super
intendent of the Middle division, and
superintendent w. B. McCaleb, of the
Philadelphia division NJ. Trump gen.
eral superintendent of transportation
R. N. Durborow, superintendent of
motive power; J. Alexander, air brake
expert; M. Kline, chief car inspector,
and H. 8. @. Kerbaugh, railroad CON-
tractor, to whom the fatal powder was
consigned.

WILL REBUILD
THE WlNGWALL

The upper wingwall of the approach
to the river bridge on the Danville
side of the river. which has formed
the subject of so much discussion of
late. is to be rebuilt by the County
Oommi ssi oners.
A joint met ting Of the Board OF
County Commissioners and the Streets
and Bridges Committee Of Council was
held yesterday morning to come to
some understanding relative to the ap.
proach to the bridge. The full board
of Commi ss sioners. Messrs. Cook. Coop.
er and Leighow. was present along
with Messrs. Vastine, Reifsny yder, Boy
or and Dietrich of the Committee on
Streets and Bridges.
After looking over the grounds the
party withdrew to the Grand Jury
room here some time was spent in
discussion. The jurisdiction Of the
Borough extends up the approach only
six or eight feet, the width Of the pave
ment on the South Side of Front
street. The committee of Council took
the view that the approach should
have side alks and were determined to
live up to their convictions by install
ling a curb, on each side as far as the
Borough's jurisdiction extends.
The County Commi ssio oners. however,
had resolved not to maintain q side
walk on the approach, but to pave from
wingwall to wingwall. The inter.
change of thought was futile to change
the plans of either the Committee or
the Board of Commissioners and the
work will have to be completed ac-
cordin2ly, paving the entire width Of
the approach down TO the borough's 3
line, where sidewalk with the usual
curbing will break the surface.
The subject of wingwall was next
taken up by the County Commission
ers. Whether to rebuild the upper
wingwall or to try to overcome the de.
feet in some way in fixing up the ap-
proach was the question. Engineer
Leonard Saturday, made a practical
suggestion as to remedy ing the defect,
which found favor with some. Others
perhaps the larger number-saw no
other remedy than the tearing down Of
the wall and rebuilding it at differ
ent angle. The Commissioners yielded
to the popular sentiment and decided
TO erect new wingwall. The pres.
ent wall will be permitted to stand.
only the coping being removed. The
new wipgwall will be built on line
with upper sidewalk of the bridge and
will extend just as far as the one built
by the bridge contractors. A heavy
ourbing will extend from the end of
the wall at the same angle down to
Front street. The effect Of this will
be not only to remove all ugly defect
which detraots much from the appear
anoes but also TO widen out the ap-
proach, making travel more convent
ent.
The building of the wall was let to
ID. j. Rogers. who in order that no de.
lay might occur, began work yesterday
afternoon. A large quantity of stone
on the spot will be used in the new
wall. The work will proceed rapidly
and will probably be completed about
the time street paving is finished
