Dark Places Lighted Up.

Borough Electrician Jones has been
very busy for week or so past and
three dark places i'll the borough,
which heretofore have not known the
luxury of electric light, last night and
the night preceding were lighted up
for the first time.
On Tuesday an arc light was swung
from the pole planted near G. l.. Nc
Lain's grocery, Walnut street, about
midway between the light at Hon.
James Fosters residence and the un-
dergrade crossing at A street The
residents along this section of Walnut
street have put in repeated appeals for
light during the years that electric
light has been employed for street
lighting. 1t was not until municipal
light was adopted and given satisfact-
ory trial, however, that the borough
could see its way clear to light up this
section as it should be done. The resi-
dents, who for so many years felt them
selves slighted, are delighted with the
effect.
During yesterday two additional arc
lights were installed, one at Front and
Cedar streets and the other at the low
er end of Railroad street near the bOr-
ough line. Both of these places have
always been in need of light From
the lower end of Railroad street. es-
pecially, there have been frequent ap-
peals for an arc light, but it was not
until the present that council felt it.
self in position to comply. Both
points are now we'll lighted up and
the residents are both pleased and

Dropped Dead at the Piow,

Suddenly stricken down by the hand
of death while plowing in his field
was the fate that overlook Louis Cir
ton, of Hemlock township. Columbia
county, Tuesday morning about Is
o'clock.
Mr. Girton though of advanced years,
was man of good physique and
health, going about work as vigorous
as men of younger years. He had al
ways been a farmer, and yesterday
morning went out to plow the field
preparatory to planting potatoes. .He
had young son of Wells Crossley
working with him The boy left the
ed was startled to find Girton lying
dead on the ground, though the hand
les of the plow were still firmly grasp
ed in his hands. The horse was an old
one, and must have stopped when the
man dropped, as there was no indica-
tion of the body having been dragged.
The boy ran and notified the family,
and the dead man was carried into the
house. Death was evidently due to
apopleXy.
The deceased was aged 70 years, 2
months and / day He is survived by
wife, son, @. G.. Girton, of Hem
lock township; and daughter, Mrs.
George Mausteller, of Hellers. Mrs.
Levina Stecker and Mrs. @. B. Hart
man, of Buckhorn, are sisters of the
deceased.
The funeral will be held on Friday
morning at O'Clock, services at the
house by Rev. Strait, of the Buckhorn
Lutheran church. Burial at Hellers.

The Case is Appealed.

Prothonotary Thomas G. Vincent
Tuesday received telegram from
Lewis G. Green, deputy prothonotary
of the State supreme court at Phila-
delphia, apprising him of the fact that
an appeal had been taken in the case
of the Danville and Sunbury street
railway company and that the GER
tiorari would be forwarded by mail.
An appeal in this case was not alto
gether unexpected. The petition was
presented to the court on February
Goth last and on the same day rule
was granted to show cause why re-
ceiver for the Danville and Sunbury
street railway company should not be
appointed. On April 25th Judge Evans
handed down an opinion refusing to
appoint receiver and discharging the
rule.
On motion of William Kase West ex-
ceptions were noted for the petition
ers and the bill was sealed by the
court. The limit of twenty days, dur
ing which the case could be appealed,
expired yesterday.
The supreme court does not con-
vene until next January and with the
case appealed the natural inference
would be that the road is hopelessly
tied up until that time, which indeed,
will be discouraging news to those
who have been so fondly hoping to see
the line in operation in the near fu-

Mrs. Wagner's Narrow Escape.

Mrs. Harvey G. Wagner, of Wash
ingtonyille, had a miraculous escape
yesterday from being roasted to death,
the memory of which will long re-
main with her.
Mrs. Wagner was ironing at the
time of the narrowly averted cataS.
trophe. While walking across the
room to get hot iron from the range,
n chasm suddenly yawned at her feet
and the stove disappeared into a hole
in the floor, from the brink of which
the lady staggered back barely able to
save herself from being precipitated
down on top of the red hot range
1t was between and o. clock when
the accident occurred. Men had been
working underneath the kitchen at the
Wagner home putting in stairway
into the cellar, and during the course
of their work had found it necessary
to temporarily support the kitchen
floor with two scantlings. 1t was the
weight on the two supports proving
too great that caused the floor to fall.
Had Mrs. Wagner been step nearer
the stove she would have gone with 1T
in fall of ten feet into the cellar and
would have landed on top of the burn
ing mass. The two carpenters who
were in the cellar at the time of the
accident, Jerry Diehl and William
Robinson, both had narrow escapes.
The accident caused great deal of
excitement in Washingtonville, a great

for while greatly exaggerated rum

Freight Wreck Causes Delay.

The work of Buchanan q company,
contractors for the heat, light and
power plant at the hospital for the in
sane, has been most unexpectedly held
up by freight wreck which occurred
on the p. & r. railway last Friday.
The work of wiring the building
was progressing nicely, some twenty
men being employed. The material on
hand being about all used up yester-
day morning Mr.. Stutterheim who is
in charge of the work went to the p.
& r. station to make inquiries con-
cerning a shipment of boxes expected,
when he was informed that the freight
train had been wrecked and the cars
containing the goods had been burned
up. The contents of the cars were
ruined and considered as lost, no at
tempt being made to recover them.
The news was quite surprise to
Mr.. Stutterheim and the non arrival
of material embarrasses HIM in his
work considerably, as it will be neces-
sary for him to shift his men to an
other part even if it is possible to keep
them employed

A TEST OF
PAVING BRICK

A test of the paving blocks made in
connection with the inspection of the
river bridge at Catawissa, Saturday,
has revealed that they are inferior to
those used on the river bridge at Dan
Vile, fact which has caused much
dissatisfaction. The appearance oil the
blocks, it seems, was not wholly Ill
their favor and to see just to what eX-
tent they fell short Hon. William L.
Greasy secured several of the blocks
used on our bridge, with which the
Catawissa blocks were compared. The
test was made by John Fisher of Cata-
wissa.
The blocks used i'll the Catawissa
bridge floated when placed in water; |;
those used in the Danville bridge sunk
like lead. Two of the best Catawissa
blocks weighed 3 pounds and l5Ia
ounces and the two used on the Dan
Vile bridge, 6 pounds and ounces.
After being immersed an hour the
Catawissa blocks weiged 4 pounds and
Az ounces, a gain of 3 ounces, and the
Danville blocks,6 pounds and 8 ounces,
n gain of an ounce. Atthe end OF IL
hours the Catawissa blocks weighed
pounds and ounces, II gain OF Ill
per cent. while the Danyille blocks
weighed pounds and SO ounces,
gain of per cent. At the end of "A
hours the Catawissa blocks weighed 4
pounds and Z ounces and the Danville
blocks, pounds and 8 ounces and at
the end of 36 hours the Catawissa
blocks weighed 4 pounds and ounces
and the Danville blocks & pounds and
ounces. The tests go to show the
Catawissa blocks to be greatly lnferl-
or. All of which confirms the belief
that Danville has not only one OF the
most imposing, but also one of the best
constructed and most durable bridges
along the North branch.

ANOTHER boy
UNDER ARREST

Another arrest was made in this city
Tuesday afternoon with the hope of
breaking up the ring of incorrigible
and criminally inclined boys, who for
sometime past have been proving II
nuisance and a menace.
The boy taken into custody Tues
day was Daniel Kennedy, whose age
is between 13 and IA years. His ar
rest took place pursuant to action tax
en- by the school board on Monday
night. Kennedy's case was given due
cons liberation. AS far of the eXper-
fence of the teachers and superinten-
dent extend the boy is incorrigible be-
yond what is usually implied by that
term. Circumstances are such that the
boy is able to hold all school discip-
line and school authority i'll defiance.
Monday night he was also accused of
breaking into the school house. On
motion the truant officer was instruct
ed to swear out warrant for Ken
nedy's arrest as wholly incorrigible
and to have him brought before court
with view of having him sent to
some institution where reform may
possibly be effected.
The information made before JUS
tice Oglesby set forth that con the 9th
day of May at 8 :45 p. m. Daniel Ken
nedy did break and enter the first
ward school house with intent to com
nit a felony"
The plea of not guilty was taken, af-
ter which Ambrose Robinson and Rob
ert Campbell, two l5-year-old boys,
were called to testify. The two wit
nesses were together when they allege
they saw Kennedy coming out of the
cellar of the school building. At the
sight of the two boys Kennedy is al
legged to have run down the alley
where the two boys pursued him and
finally caught him He handed over
some articles, which, the boys state,
he acknowledged having taken from
the school room.
Attorney Ralph Kisner who was pres
ent at the hearing explained the at
titude of the school board which he
said, was not vindictive in the mat
ter. The boy was beyond the schools
and was positive menace. With a
view of removing his evil influence
and of placing him where he would
have to yield to discipline and author
ity they asked that he be handed over
to court.
The records show that in August,
1903, Daniel Kennedy was arrested for
larceny and that upon his promising
to abandon evil conduct sentence was
suspended.
Justice Oglesby fixed bail at 800.
No one appearing as bondsman the boy
was committed to Jail.
