THOUGHT TO BE ANARCHIST

MADRID, June 23.-In La Granja,
forty miles northeast of here. today. a
man was arrested for attempting to in
tercept the royal automobile in which
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria were
travelling.
When the man was arrested and
searched he gave the name of Jose
Maria. saying that he was from Madrid
On his person were found a bundle of
suspicious documents and a consider
able sum of money.
Italian Suspect Arrested.
In the same place an Italian was ar
rested today. He was acting in a pc
culiar manner and could give no good
account OF himself. He insisted that he
was on his way TO Bilboa. but as La
Granja is far out of the beaten paths
his statement is not believed.
AS the royal couple are spending their
honeymoon in La GranJa. or st. Idle
fonso. as it is known officially, the au-
thorities have added extreme vigilance
owing to reports that a number of dan
gerous anarchists are on their way TO
Spain. including a rigid inspection es-
tablished on the frontier. Nevertheless
the King and Queen frequently leave the
palace unaccompanied and take walks in
the park.
Close Watch for Anarchists.
In spite of their seeming unconcern,
however, the government has instituted
a close watch I1r all strangers. The
neighborhood is subjected to the most
severe scrutiny There have been re-
cent reports of various movements of
roted anarchists which have led the au-
thorities TO take the most elaborate pre-
cautions

GEORGE R. BERNHARD
GENERAL SECRETARY

George r. Bernhard of Scottdale,
who as previously stated in these col
umns, was a candidate for the posi-
tion of general secretary of the Y. M.
G. A. at this place. met the board of
directors at a special meeting held in
the association parlor Monday:evening.
There was nearly full membership
of the board present and the result of
the meeting was most gratifying. Mr.
Bernhard was pleased with what he
learned concerning the local field,
while the directors, one and all, were
more than pleased with Mr.. Bernhard
and believed that they saw in him
most successful Y. M. @. A. worker,
both as to his ability to win and hold
the boys and to assist in building up
the association financially. After talk
ing over the matter for about an hour,
while Mr.. Bernhard still remained in
the room, it was unanimously decided
to invite him to accept the position of
general secretaryship of the Danville
Y. M. @. A. Mr.. Bernhard had al
ready we'll considered the matter and
he promptly accepted.
Mr.. Bernhard is married man and
is the father of three boys He will
enter upon his position here before
July first.
Previous to the meeting Mr.. Bern
hard met several of our citizens in the
Y. M. g. A. rooms, among them a
representative of this paper. He made
a very fine impression. He is still
young, although he has had plenty of
experience and understands the ways
of the world. He is magnetic Young
man whose earnestness and zeal are
evident in every sentiment he uttered,
in every gesture and in every glance
of the eye. The effect of only brief
interview is such as to indicate that
he should make a first class general
secretary.
Scottdale, where Mr.. Bernhard at
present is general secretary of the Y.
M. G. A, is situated some fifty miles
southeast of Pittsburg. 1t is town
of about 5000 inhabitants and supports
a flourishing Y. M. @. A. Several very
fine testimonials have been received
by the board of directors here attesting
to the very excellent results that have
attended Mr.. Bernhard's labors in
Scottdale. He took charge of the Y.
M. G. A. there one year and half
ago. He found the association there
in debt and poorly equipped. Not only
has the indebtedness been liquidated
and the equipment much improved by
Mr.. Bernhard, but now ON the eve of
his resignation there is handsome
surplus in the treasury. The people OF
Scottdale as is natural are very anx.
ious to retain Mr.. Bernhard, but as
he stated last evening he feels that he
has accomplished about all that re.
mains for him to do in Scottdale and
that the time has come when he should
seek new field.

more DOUBLE
TRACK ON PENNSY

Evidently determined not to let the
present lack of traffic ON this division
of it's road interfere with future pro-
gress, the Pennsylvania railroad on
Thursday put into operation another
work train at Catawissa. This train
will be engaged all summer and we'll
into the fall making various improve
ments on the line between Catawissa
and Sunbury. The chief work, how
ever, will be the construction of two
sidings, each about mile long, one
between Catawissa and South Dan
willie and the other between South Dan
Vile and Sunbury. This will be two
steps taken towards the realization of
the double track system on this divis-
ion of the road, towards which the
management is steadily working
The crew of this train, and the gang
of workmen connected with it consists
of about fifty men. All of these have
been engaged at Catawissa, as it is at
this point that the work train will
make it's headquarters.
This train is not taking the place of
any already or formerly in use, but is
an addition to the regular forces and
equipment of this division of the road.
Officials say that in addition to these
two sidings, others will be built in
the next couple years, and it will be
but short time until the entire line
from Wilkes-Barre to Sunbury is
double tracked
