Good Skating.

The weather seems to have renounc-
ed its former capricious habits and de-
cided for awhile, at last, to be settled
and steady.
The cold wave that materialized Sat
urday is still with US. Sunday, mer-
curry oscillated between 16 degrees at
a. III. and 10 degrees at p. N. i; on
Monday, during the same hours, be-
tween and 10 degrees. Christmas aud
yesterday the air was crisp and fresh,
mercury dipping down to IA degrees
Christmas morning and "a degrees yes
terday morning.
The ponds are covered with ice sew
eral inches in thickness. The river. al
though full of floating ice, has not yet
closed, which is in part due to the high
water.
The skaters were out in force, both
on Christmas and yesterday, the fav-
orite skaring ground being the large
poud between the Structural Tubing
works aud the D. L. & W. railroad.
Tho roads, frozen hard aud worn
down by traffic, are in the very best
of condition. AT most places it is pos
sible for either buggy or sleigh TO
get aloug, although probably wheeled
vehicles make the best time.

Putting Final Touch on Sewer.

Superintendent of Sewers p. j. Keef.
er yesterday broke ground for the com!
pletion of the big Church street sewer
where it passes through under the D.
L. & W. track. The sewer at this point
was held up by some delay In dealing
with the D l.. & w railroad company
and later by complications relating to
procuring Of pipe. The big two-foot
pipe, which finally was ordered in
this city, were finishe only last week,
which accounts for entering upon the
work so late il the season.
In breaking ground yesterday about
one foot Of frost was encountered,
which together with the nature Of the
ground to be excavated, makes the job
a difficult one. The hardest part Of the
prop j>itlou, however. ill be in get
ting through under the track.
Unless the nature Of the ground
makes it impracticable tuuuel will
be eXcaavated underneath the railroad,
which is considered the best solution
owing to the considerable depth at.
taned.
1t will require at least week to
complete the sewer at the D. L. s. W.
track, after which the connection re.
mains TO be made at Bloom street,
which in itself will involve no little
work.
1t is most fortunate that the sewer
can be completed at present 80 that 1t
will be in good working order when
the annual breakup occurs during the
winter or next spring.

REUNION OF
r1OTTERN BROTHERS
.Six Sturdy Citizens Who Have
Descended From a Pioneer of
Mayberry Township.

Among the reunions which took
place in Danvile on Christmas day
there were probably none o which
greater interest attached than that of
the six Mottern brothers.
The brothers are as follows. all we'll.
known residents of this section: Dan.
iel, Samuel, jeremiah Charles, Peter
aud Joseph. Daniel, the watchman at
the Structural Tubing works. aged
seveuty-fve years, is the eldest of the
family. Samuel, who will be seventy.
four next October, is a close second to
Daniel. jeremiah, who is in his sew
enty- year. is the third son Of
the family. Peter and Joseph Mottern
reside in East Danville Jeremiah lives
in Watsontown. The other three BROTH
ers reside in Danville. The six BROTH
ers are all natives of Danville. Their
father before them was native OF
Montour county and was born on q
farm III Mayberry township, so that
the Mottern family enjoys the distinc-
tion of being one OF the oldest in this
section.
1t is generally regarded as quite
an event when the six Mottern broth.
ers get together as they did in this
city on Christmas. To signslize the
occurrence they had their pictures tax.
Ell in group Ouly once before in
their lifetime were tile brothers photo
graphed together and that was thirty
six years ago.

The track itself as elevated former

The county commissioners have caus-

TOOK TWO
FROM P|TTSTON
Two Good Games Of BaS-
ket Ball at the Armory
on Christmas.

Danville is rounding into shape
again in the basket bill game and
seems to be getting back her old form.
On Christmas the locals defeated the
strong Pittston aggregation two games,
although neither of the contests was
a walkover for Danville.
In the afternoon Dauville won by a
score of "A to IA. The locals had the
lead from the beginning and the final
outcome was never seriously in doubt.
Neither of the teams did any particu-
larly brilliant playing although they
we're hard at it from whistle to whis-
tie.
The evening game, with final score
of % to 81, was more doubtful. The
score was first in favor of one side and
then III favor of the other, Danville
having lead of but one point at the
eud Of the first half. The evening
game was pretty rough and a number
IF fouls were called, much to the joy
Of some of the spectators and to the
chagrin of some of the others. Harry
Welliver was the able custodian of the
whistle for both games.
The line-ups were as follows:
