FOURTH MESABA ROAD.
10 Build From Duluth to nibbinu and
Virginia in Two Years.

Virginia in Two Years.
1t may be stated on what is con-
sidered reliable authority that
fourth railroad will be built to the
Mesaba range in Northern Mime
sofa in the next two years. It will
have main line of about 1873 miles
and will reach from Duluth to Vir-
ginia and Hibbing, as we'll as to
points farther west. It is said that
about 55,O0OO00 tons of ore are
already tied up to it under traffic
contracts that have been made in
the past two or three months.
These are all independent steel
making and mining concerns, oper-
ating lands not tied up to any one
of the roads now reaching the
range. 1t is estimated by those in
touch with the new road that it will
have contracts from mines contain
ing about 100,O0O,O00 tons before it is
ready for operation. Such a total
at the present standard rate of 80
cents ton would mean gross in
come from ore alone of about $780,.
100000. But it is rumored that the
proposed road will make a rate
somewhat less than that now in
force, and that the saving to ship
Pers will be in the neighborhood OF
20 per cent. 1t may be that in this
rumor the wish is father to the
thought, but there are reasons for
believing it to be substantially
correct.
The name of interests that have
underwritten the bonds of the pro-
posed company are given but can
not be repeated. They are amply
substantial for any such operation.
The spring of 1908 is set as the prob.
able date for the first ore movement
toDuluth over this line. SURVEYS are
now in progress and negotiations
are said to be under way for termi-
nails and ore piers, etc., in Duluth,
not far from the present ore dock
system of the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern road.-D. E. Woodbridge.

A Remarkable Record.

Emanuel Wertman, of Philadelphia,
an old time resident of Danville, is
circulating among relatives and acqu-
aintances in this vicinity. Mr.. Vert
man removed from Danville in 1850
and his present visit is one of several
that have taken place to his old home
during the long interval that he has
lived in Philadelphia. Mr.. Wertmau
is rs years of age and is brother of
James Wertman, Bloom road, of John
Wertman and Mrs John Steinman of
this city.
On Monday night Mr.. Wertman paid q
visit to Montour lodge No. 100 90. +.
which he is member There are sew.
eral circumstances connected with this
visit, which are of more than passing
interest. He was initiated into Mon.
tour lodge in the year 1913, when the
meetings were held in the second story
of frame building occupying site
now in the rear of the court house.
Two years after Mr.. Wertman became
a member of the Odd Fellows he left
Danville and, although he kept up his
standing in Montour lodge, No. 100,
during the long interim of nearly sixty
years he never attended any of the
lodge meetings. nor did he visit any
other lodge. During all the years in.
tervening neither did he draw one
cent of benefit AT the present time
there is not man belonging to Mon.
tour lodge that he can recall as being
a member when he lived in Danville.

The Hadley Pictures.

The Edwin j. Hadley moving picture
exhibition last evening was the best
thing of the kind ever seen in Burling-
ton, if the statement of the people who
are familiar with this class of enter
tainment is to be relied upon From
eight until half-past ten O'Clock there
was an almost constant movement of
pictures on the canvass and there was
not a single awkward hitch or break
in the series presented. The subjects
were selected with rare discretion to
make up varied evening S enjoyment
and nearly every picture was heartily
applauded.
A pleasing feature of the exhibition
was the absence of the Objectionable
flutter which usually has accompanied
moving pictures. Burlington vt.

The Hadley pictures are to be pres
ented at the Mahoning Presbyterian
church two nights, Friday and Satur-
day, of this week, for the benefit OF

Joseph Fetter Badly Injured.

Joseph Fetter, who resides on West
Centre street, was very badly injured
while working in Sunbury last week
and is now confined at the Mary Pack
er hospital.
The injured man is widower, but
has an adopted daughter, fourteen
years old Since he has been employ
ed in Sunbury his house here has been
closed. Although the accident took
place last Wednesday the facts of the
case were not known in Danville un-
til Saturday night, when some other
Danville men working in Sunbury re-
turned home.
Fetter was employed by the Lam
berry Water company in laying new
line of sewer pipe. He was assisting
to unload the pipe from wagon when
one of the large joints fell on his foot
crushing it very badly, III addition to
which his leg was painfully injured.
He was taken to the Mary Packer hos
pital. where at last accounts he was
doing very we'll.
Fetter's adopted daughter, Esther,
accompanied by Miss Dora Eighner, at
whose home she has been living for
several weeks, Saturday evening went
to Sunbury to visit the injured man.

FELL FROM BRIDGE
BROKE NECK

George Steck, 40 years, a resident
of Salem, Snyder county, was injured
in some unknown manner at the bridge
crossing from Selinsgrove to Selins-
grove Junction, and as result is a
patient at the Mary M. Packer hospit-
al, Sunbury, with no hopes of his re-
covery.
Shortly before daybreak Saturday
morning the members of the crew of a
Pennsylvania freight train, which was
passing over the Selinsgrove bridge,
noticed the body of a man lying along
side one of the bridge piers. The train
was stopped and the man was found to
be alive but in an unconscious condi-
tion. He was taken to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station at Selinsgrove
and DR.. Yoder was summoned to give
him medical aid. An examination
showed that he was severely injured
and he was placed on board the morn
ing passenger train and brought to the
Mary M. Packer hospital in Sunbury.
After arriving at the hospital care
full examination was made and it was
found that Steck had dislocated his
spine at about the small of the back
aud is paralyzed all the way down
the body from the seat of the injury.
When questioned Steck was unable
to explain how the accident occurred
and while some believe he fell while
trying to avoid being struck by train
others think that while walking across
the bridge he III some manner tripped
and fell.
The injury sustained by Steck is of
such nature that although he may
linger for long time there are no
chances for his recovery and his life
will be nothing more than lingering
death. He was employed as n black
smith at Salem and has n wife and two
small children

Cost of September Court.

Justice in all ages of the world is a
great boon, but as administered by our
court it "comes high" The several
days court last week, in which only
one case was tried, cost the county ov-
er thousand dollars.
The item of jurors and tipstatfs,
along with what was paid the cons
, tables for making returns, footed up
1874. The witnesses in the Dietrich
homicide case cost $l05. In addition
$50 went to the court stenographer and
$l2. so to the court crier.
At the first trial of the same homi-
eide case, in which the jury disagreed,
the cost to the county was only trifie
less. The jurors did not cost so much,
for while talesmen were called the
original panel was not so large. AT
the last trial there were seventy-three
talesmen summoned into the court
room and eacn of these received 81,
which after all pretty we'll repaid
these unwilling gentlemen for their
disquietude in being obliged to face
an unpleasant duty. The venire issu-
ed called for hundred jurors in ad-
dition to which there were "a grand

Appointed Auditor

Ralph Kisner, ESQ, was appointed
auditor by Judge Evans, Saturday, to
distribute funds to and among the
creditors of the Danville and Sunbury
street railway company, which was
sold at sheriff's sale on July 9th and
the sale of which was confirmed dur
ing last weeks session of court.
A great deal of curiosity is manifest
ed by the public to know, now that the
sale is confirmed, whether or not there
are any prospects of the line starting
up as far as completed-between the
hospital for the insane and South Dan
ville-also whether any plans are on
foot for the completion of the line and
whether it is at all likely that work
will be resumed this fall.
Persistent inquiry has failed to
bring out any positive information on
any of the above points, but it is gen.
orally conceded as unlikely that any
work on construction will be done this
fall

Bear at MainviIIe.

While driving along the McAuley
road near John Breisch S farm in Main
township, Columbia county. Monday
evening about 6 80 O'Clock, Frank Pur-
sci, the Mainville merchant, came
across a bear.
The horse was jogging along at the
time when bruin came out of the brush
on one side of the road. and crossed a
few yards ahead of the horse. Pursel
saw the animal, but as it was getting
dark he at first took it for a big dog
until the horse became frightened and
then Pursel saw that it was a genuine
bear. The animal did not stop, how
ever, but disappeared in the woods on
the other side of the road.
This must be the famous Mainvi.lu
bear that comes to town about once 50
often apparently just to let the folks
know he is still in business at the
same old stand.

Notable Production.

With his usual disregard of expense
in everything relative to the maintain
ing of his position at the head of the
moving picture business in this coun-
try, Mr.. Edwin J. Hadley, the expert,
secured at considerable expense the
only really satisfactory series of views
that intelligently portray the actual
condition of affairs in San Francisco
ediately after the disaster. In a
recent conversation Mr.. Hadley said
"We were not Johnnies on the spot,
waiting for the earthquake. We do
not present pictures of the falling
walls and people fleeing in terror wild
with excitement. We did not have our
camera ready to take a picture of a
thief caught stealing and shot by the
soldiers. We do, however, present
genuine, authentic and satisfactory
views taken after the shock and whom
the fire had been eXtingished, enabling
the securing of clear negatives, un-
marred by clouds of smoke.
'In presenting this series we appeal
to the intelligent common sense class
of people who don't believe in being
humbugged. "
These authentic views are only q
small part of the Hadley program, and
the exhibition will be as varied and
pleasing as usual.
The Hadley pictures are to be pre-.
sented at the Mahoning Presbyterian
church two nights, Friday and Satur'
day, of this week, for the benefit OF
the Y. M. Q. A. Tickets are now Oh

Will REPAIR
GILLASPY PROPERTY

The borough council held a special
meeting on Saturday night for the
purpose of making arrangements for
beginning the work of raising J. V.
Gillaspy's building at the corner of
Mill and Front streets, which was left
considerably below grade when Mill
street was paved. Mr.. Gillaspy's prop
erty is the last of the several build
ings on Mill street damaged when the
paving was put down.
In the case of the other buildings
viewers were appointed, who awarded
certain sum of money as damages,
which was paid over to the owners.
who made the improvements them
selves. Mr.. Gillaspy's three buildings
adjoining each other and constituting
his hotel property, are all more or less
damaged. From the first he has shown
an inclination to be liberal and made
no special efforts to induce council to
take action in the matter At the last
regular meeting he was present and
stated that if the borough would mere
ly raise the lower building, which is
the one affected most, he would him
self make all other repairs necessary
ana raise the other two buildings as
required.
Council unhesitatingly accepted his
proposition and the meeting Saturday
night was held to adopt specifications
and to get ready to invite bids. Mem
bers were present as follows Gibson,
Vastine, Dietz, Sweisfort, Russell,
Angle, Bedea, Finnigan, Hughes, ia
cobs and Eisenhart.
The two story building to be raised
by the borough will have to be cut
loose from the adjoining one. 1t will
have to be raised abut three feet, six
inches, so that the first floor of the
several buildings will be level with
each other. If any decayed sills are
found under the building they are to
be taken out and replaced with good
sound sills. Foundation walls, eigh.
teen inches thick, are to be built un-
der the sill after the building is rails
ed
On motion of Mr.. Vastine it was
ordered that council advertise for bids
to raise the building according to
specifications, the proposals to be in
by next Friday night. 1t is desired to
enter upon the work as early as posi-

GRAVEYARDS IN
W BERWICK CELLARS

The astounding statement is now
made by some of the most reputable
citizens of West Berwick, that in their
opinion no less than ten murders have
been committed within the last eight
weeks in the foreign section of West
Berwick and Briarcreek and 6hey go
further and say that they believe if
the cellars in that section were dug up
graveyards of murdered persons would
be found. These are the statements
made to District Attorney Small by
respectable foreigners who want steps
taken to stamp out the lawlessness and
restore order and make life safe.
1t is estimated that there are 2S00
foreigners at West Berwick and Briar-
creek. and while the Slavs, Poles and
Huns are mostly law abiding ele-
ment, the district attorney estimates
that there are fully 800 persons in the
section that can be classed as lawless
and dangerous to the community.
Merchants have sometimes to close
their stores owing to the lawessness as
early as eight O'Clock in the evenings.
That an organization of the Black
Hand exists in that neighborhood, and
that secret meetings of the society are
held at either West Berwick or Briar-
creek, is the firm conviction of the
district attorney. He fully realizes
that it will take drastic measures to
eradicate evil and wrongdoing, but he
is determined to go to the limit, and
will ask court to have competent
detective engaged at the expense of
the county to ferret out the Criminals
that they may be brought to justice,
and the reign of crime abolished.
Good men, equipped for this work,
can be secured at Wilkes-Barre or
Philadelphia. The kind of a man re-
quired is one responsible and capable,
who can speak the language of the
foreigners and mingle with them-in
fact adopt the methods similar to those
which resulted in the disruption and
abolishment of the Molly Maguires
