Fell From TreStling.

A peculiar and serious accident was
that sustained yesterday morning by
J. a. Zerbe, engineer on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad running between Sun
bury and Wilkes Barre.
When his train came to stop on
the track near Espy yesterday fore
noon, the engine happened to halt dir
ectly over a trestle bridge which
crosses the roadway which ruAs under
the track at this point. As steam was
being exhausted from the engine on
both sides at the time, Engineer Zerbe
did not see the trestling, and sppposing
solid ground was underneath, stepped
from his engine cab, and landed into
empty space. He fell over thp edge of
the bridge, and landed on the Highway
about twenty-five feet below. He was
picked up unconscious, and taken ON
the train to Nescopeck, where medical
aid was rendered by DR.. Myers.
The mans back and legs were pretty
severely injured and he was too much
battered up for the full extent of his
injuries to be as yet ascertained. 1t is
not known whether any bones are
broken. He was taken to his home in
Sunbury, and even if no fractures were
sustained, it will be some time before
the man will be in condition to re-
sumo his duties.

Burned Half a Century.

The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company has won its battle against
the fire which has been raging for
forty ynine years in the old Greenwood
mine near Tamaqua, and the rich veins
of coal upon which the fire has been
feeding will soon be available for
working
In 1857 some deer hunters carelessly
allowed embers from their camp fire
to fall into an air hole leading to the
mine and a body of gas was ignited.
Since that time many attempts have
been made to extinguish the flames
and a number of lives have been lost
but all the work of reclaiming was in
vain until two years ago, when the
engineers adopted "A plan of forcing Il
mixture of water and culm into bore
holes leading to the mine. The cuIm
eventually smOthered the greater part
of the fire and it has now become pos
sible to food the entire working.

Edward Green Painfully Injured.

but at present Of Roanoke, Va, Will
be sorry to learn that he is suffering
from the effects of a very serious ac-
cident and that the outlook is not very
encouraging.
\ letter written by Mrs. Green re-
ceived in this city yesterday states
that Mr. Green accompanied by his son
Edward left town on a hunting excur-
sion three weeks ago-that the horse
ran away and Mr.. Green was thrown
about nine feet into stream of wat
er. The son dragged him TO the road
side and ran a mile and a half to a
farm house for help.
At first Mr. Green did not appear to
be seriously injured. No bones were
broken but it is pretty evident that he
was hurt internally. He is still unable
to walk a step and suffers intensely.
The physicians, however, are not with
out hope that nature will come to the
rescue and that time will work a cure.

Who Pay S for This Inmate?

| There is now question up for dis
cussion which is soon to be finally de-
cided concerning whether the borough
of Sunbury, the new borough of Mar
/ ion Heights or Northumberland coun-
ty must pay for the maintenance of an
insane man who was recently brought
from Sunbury to the Hospital for the
/ Insane at this place.
About ten days ago Frank Yankoski,
a foreigner, who has been i'll this coun-
try only about three months sustained
injuries while at work at Marion
Heights, the place where he had locat-
ed, and he was taken to the Mary NJ.
Packer hospital. at Sunbury. A short
time after he was admitted he showed
signs of insanity and later became
violently insane. When it was learn
ed that he had no relatives i'll this
country who would take and care for
him, overseers of the poor A. j. Baum
and NJ. p. Kreider, of the Sunbury
nothing could be done except to have
the man taken to the hospital at this
place which was accordingly done. AS
Yankoski's S case is believed to be
hopeless one and as he is likely to be
kept in the hospital for some length
of time the money for his maintenance
must come from somewhere and it
must now be decided who is to stand
this expense. Although not naturaliz-
ed, nor living at Marion Heights long
enough to obtain legal residence,
Yankoski is neither a resident of Sun
bury and just who is to pay is more
or less of an important matter to the
citizens of the several districts involv-
ed

House Breakers Have a Feast.

When the employees of the Supplee-
Mather Co, at Bloomsbury, opened up
the company's warehouse yesterday
morning, it was found that a window
had been broken open, evidently dur
ing the night, and raid made on the
interior.
The intruders were evidently in
search of eatables, as the yard of the
Atlantic Refining Company just across
the tracks, bore indications of having
been the scene of more or less elabor
ate spread. A number of barrels had
been used as a banquet board, and
around these three other barrels had
been set on their sides, apparently to
afford seats for the feasters. On the
upturned barrels were found ginger
snaps, fancy cakes, chocolate and 9th
er candies, partly smoked cigars, the
empty cake and candy boxes, etc, all
of which articles were found to be
missing from the Supplee Mather build
ing Nothing of value had been stolen,
however The building is used large
ly for the storing of canned goods in
cases, and none of these were taken.
Fifteen or twenty cigars were missing
from box on the desk, which with a
quantity of envelopes, and several small
sample packages of cakes and candies
was the extent of the theft as far as
discovered at this time. 1t was evid-
emily the work of boys or tramps, and
there must have been three of them in
the gang, to judge by the upturned
barrels on which they sat while eat

THE BOROUGH'S
INDEBTEDNESS

The annual borough statement print
ed this week carries with it especial
interest the present year by reason OF
the system of public improvements in
augurated by the borough. By glanc-
ing over the statement it will be seen
that the showing is by no means dis
creditable to Council and that the
amount of actual Indebtedness is not
large, considering the amount of work
done and the splendid improvements
installed. The showing relating to the
municipal light plant especially is
most gratifying and proves conclusive
ly that those who predicted that a saw
ing for the borough could be effected
were by no means idle dreamers
Work on the public sewer was begun
in the summer of 1908. The total cost
of the sewer and extensions to date is
SIG, 250.S
The total cost of the municipal light
plant was Sl6, 1436S.
The borough's share of street paw
ing including liens is 50, 449. 80.
The cost of surveying, taking care
of water mains and like work incid-
enta! TO street paving approximates
50, ,0O0 1t is difficult to get at the ex-
act figures in these items as the work
was done by the borough's employees
under the street commissioner as call
ed for, a fraction of day being put
in now and fraction of day at an
other time.
The total cost of sewerage, municip-
al light plant and street paving is
s43. S44 or.
July l, 1903, about the time of be-
ginning the public sewer the borough
floated $50, 900 worth of 31& per cent.
bonds; November /, 1904, the borough
floated bonds to the amount of So, 800
At the same time there was mortg-
age of s., 800 on City Hall, in addition
to which the borough's liabilities in
cluded 50, 500 in certificates and $l4, :
600 in outstanding bonds issued Nov
ember /, 1900.
During the period intervening the
borough has cancelled the So, 500 worth
of certificates and has aslo paid 81, 900
on the mortgage of City Hall, which
reduces the borough debt to $45, 300
The borough's assets are given as $72, :
l84. 81, which leaves the assets in ex-
cess of liabilities, $26, S84 81.
The statement of the borough light
plant from March l, 1905 to January !, -,
1906, shows the following:
Total cost of installation, Sl6, l43 =
6S.
Actual expenses for ten months, So, :
1896
Cost for the ten months of Sc arc
lamps at $50, SO twenty nine forty thirds
cents and of "a incandescent lamps
at 50 per lamp, or about S43 56 per arc
lamp and $40. 80 per incandescent lamp
per year.
The above statement does not in
clude the cost of current supplies nor
of 80 l6-candle power lamps for four
engine houses, which were previously
lighted at the expense of the fire COM
panies.
The amount paid in the former con-
tract with the Standard Electric Light
Company was $72 per arc lamp and sl5
per incandescent lamp. The Standard
Electric Light Company's contract was
to furnish 50 arc lamps and "a incan-
descent lamps.
