Prescribed New Regulations.

Local grave diggers, especially those
cries where hard digging at certain
depth is factor will be very glad to
learn that the State Department of
Health has prescribed new regulations
for the burying of human bodies in the
cemeteries of Pennsylvania to meet the
objections, which have been raised to
the original regulations adopted re-
Gently by Commissioner Dixon.
The order sent out by DR. Dixon and
which went into effect on January lst
provided that the distance from the
top of the box containing the coffin or
surface of the ground This gave the
grave total depth of about nine feet.
Where the ground afforded easy dig
ging TO the depth named there could
probably be little objection TO the new
regulation. But the fact in the begin
ming was lost sight of that in many
cemeteries nine feet would carry the
grave down into solid rock necessitat-
ing the use of explosives before the
proper depth could be attained. The
new ruling was especially hard on
the grave digger at Odd Fellows ceme-
terry, where at a depth of some seven
feet a shelly rock is encountered. At
the Fairview cemetery conditions are
nearly as bad, at the same depth de-
posit of hard pan being encountered,
which makes digging difficult.
The grave diggers naturally protest
ed against being obliged to sink graves
to such an unusual depth in the face
of such obstacles as existed The un-
dertakers insisted upon carrying out
diggers did their best to comply. Only
a few funerals have occurred since
January 1st and what success the reg
ulatiOns later on would have met with
had it not been for the new order it
would be hard TO say. \ man of aver
age stature by adding a yard TO his
height can form an idea of the depth
of grave required. In the case of an
infants grave to comply with the reg
ulation became impracticable or a
physical impOssibility.
The new regulation prescribed pro-
vides that except by special permission
from the department no interment of
any human body shall be made in any
public or private burial ground unless
the distance from the top of the box
containing the coffin or Casket be at
least five feet from the natural surface
Of the ground, except where solid rock
or water may be encountered
Then the distance from the top of
the box containing the coffin or casket
shall not be less than four feet from
the natural surface of the ground and
with the further exception that still
born children and children less than
four years old dead of any disease 9th
er than anthrax, cholera, diphtheria.
small pox, scarlet fever, tetanus and
typhoid fever shall be buried at such
depth that the top of the box contain
ing the coffin or casket be not less than
three and one-half feet from the natuT-
al surface of the ground.

RELATING TO
NOMINATIONS

February 2nd is the last day for fill
ing certificates of nomination Of BoI-
oughs and townships February 5th is
the last day for filing nomination pap
ers for boroughs and townships.
The two weeks or SO intervening be
tween the present and the above dates
will be occupied with considering the
matter of candidates and making nom
nations. The Republicans have select
ed January 26th as the time for hold
ing their primaries i'll the Borough
and District. The Democrats, realiz-
ing that the time is narrowing down,
are beginning to bestir themselves, but
as general thing have not arranged
any dates. The Democrats of Mahon-
ing township have held their caucus
and it was learned yesterday that the
same party in the Fourth Ward of the
Borough has selected Saturday night,
January 9th, as the date of the pri
mary election. The other wards will
probably fall in at about the same
date
One hears very little on the subject
of candidates, although a couple of
very important offices are TO be filled.
For the office of Chief Burgess in
either party it does not seem that any
one is seriously considered as a can
| Il o1l.D ,r-hatlar.
| there will be much of fight for the
office of Tax Receiver for the Borough.
/ In none of the wards is there much
enthusiasm and prospective candidates
| for Councilmen and School Directors
are much less in evidence than for a
good many years past. The truth of the
matter is To serve the public faith
fully, in the two latter of the above
named offices, especially, means whole
lot of hard work gratuitously done,
the only reward lying in the approba-
tion of the fellow citizens. When as
in our own town public improvements
are pending or on foot the burden of
responsibility becomes heavier. II is
hard to avoid mistakes even in one S
own business and in handling public
affairs the Councilman and the School
Director faces the contingency of dis
pleasing the tax payer in some details
and instead of meeting with public
appreciation is greeted with deluge
| of public censure.
The present Council and the School
Board of Danville are made up of men
whose integrity is unquestionable.
Neither body would be any place for
men who do not possess the golden at
tribute of honesty and it is safe to say
that only such will be named for eth
/ er Office or at most that only such will
be elected.
The successful candidate there
| fore will have to be man of public
spirit along with his other good at
tributes, one willing to sacrifice his
personal interest for the public good.
That the right man can be found when
needed admits of no doubt.

BOHFLING MhCHINuRY
STARTED UP

The bottling department of the Han
over Brewing Company plant started
up on Saturday as an experiment. 1t
was visited by a number of people
during the afternoon, who were much
interested in the equipment of the
plant, which embraces all the modern
devices known and is a marvel as
showing the advancement made in a
few years in the single branch of bot
tling
The bOttling will be carried on in
new brick building situated southwest
of the main building, recently complet
ed. The facilities could not be well
improved on, while the beer used is a
special brew made for that purpose.
Everything is done by machinery at
record breaking speed. Although none
of the hands had as yet become expert
on Saturday barrel of beer was bot
tied in % minutes. Ten bottles per
minute is about the average and this
includes the washing of the bottles,
the filling, the corking and the
labelling, for the equipment is so ar
ranged that each of the above processes
is going on at the same time.
In each department the machinery is
the very acme Of ingenuity and i'll its
relation to hydraulics or other branch
es of science it forms a pleasant and
profitable study. This is especially
true of the filling process and the
washing Of the bottles, while by no
means the least interesting is the
machine for corking the bottles and
another machine for putting on the
| labels. The process of Pasteurizing the
beer consists of packing the filled bot
ties contained in metallic cases in a
huge tank into which is turned water
heated by steam to an intense degree.
As above stated each of the different
processes is in progress at the same
time. While one man is washing the
bottles, another is presiding over the
filler; another is operating the corker,
another is preparing for pastereuizing
and still another is putting on the la
bells This probably comprises the linn
tied number of unemployed i'll the
bottling department, while as revealed
by Saturdays Experiment. the daily pro
duct will be something enormous.

.FIREMEN'S RELIEF
IN DANVILLE

At the Friendship Engine House,
Saturday evening, was held the annual
election of officers of the Danville
branch of the Firemen's Relief Associ-
alton, of Pennsylvania. The balloting
resulted in the election of ~ c. Roat,
president George Kocher, vice presi-
dent Harry Trumbower, secretary and
Sam 4. Mccoy, treasurer.
This branch of the fire fighting ser
vice in the State is one about which
very little is known, many of the fire
men themselves being i'll ignorance of
the true significance of the Associa-
tion.
The object of the Association is to
pay benefit to fireman who is in
jured in the performance of duty. The
funds of the organization accrue from
tax of 2 per centum levied on the
premiums of all fire insurance com
panies outside the State that write in
surance in Pennsylvania. One half of
this tax is devoted to the fire depart
ment in the State and distributed
among the different local departments
in proportion to the amount of inSur-
ance the taxable companies write III
that locality.
Since the institution of the Associa-
tiOn the funds have come into the local
treasury faster than they have been
disbursed, and as "A consequence a snug
sum, shown in the appended report, Is
now deposited in the Dauville banks
and drawing per cent. interest.
