new INDUSTRY
SUGGESTED

An inquiry was received in this city
yesterday asking whether Danville
would be desirable place for locat-
ing large plant for a cheese factory
and the shipping of milk and cream.
The people making the inquiry mean
business and in short time the pro-
prietors of dairies and creameries in
this vicinity will be addressed on the
subject by the promoters and willj be
made fully acquainted with the prop
osition.
1t would be difficult to deduce any
reason why an industry such as sug-
gested above should not prosper here
if properly taken hold of and pushed.
Our town is situated in the midst of a
fertile farming section, with the broad
valley of the Susuehanna to draw on
A plant such as described would bring
dairy products immensely in demand
and on nearly every farm would be in
stalled a dairy, which incidentally
would add to the quality of the soil
and thus contribute to the general
wealth Of the community.
In addition, it would give Danville
a new industry, which is needed here
as well as in any other town if there
is to be any material growth and de
velopment. 1t is hoped that the Boaro
of Trade will not miss the opportunity
to assist the proposition along whel
the proper stage is reached in the he
gotiations.

Milk Wagon in Wild Dash.

The team of horses and milk wagon
belonging to W. J. Crossley of Liber-
ty township, aud driven by his son
Frank, were the central figures in a
wild runaway Mondaylmorning, that
ended in South Danville when the run
aways collided head on with McCor-
mick's bus.
The trouble started in front of the
Montour House where the team had
been left while Frank was delivering
mill. inside the hotel. Some men who
were clearing the roof of the ice were
throwing the ice cakes into the street.
The horses became frightened at the
chunks of ice flying about them and
started off down the hill toward the
river, gaining speed as they went un.
til when they reached the bridge their
gait was a mad gallop.
Luckily no vehicles were met in
the swift progress across the bridge.
The runaway team got to the south
side soon after the departure of the
100 passenger train, and Mccormick 8
bus had just left the station and was
about turning into the road leading to
the bridge when shouts of warning ap-
prised the driver, William Miller, of
approaching danger. He stopped his
team, but had no time to get out of the
way when the terrified animals came
down the grade of the south side ap-
proach, and swerving just before they
reached the railroad crossing, collided
with the bus team.
One of the bus horses was knocked
down, and in endeavoring to get away
one of the runaways also fell to the
ground. The team was taken in charge
by some men before they could again
start off.
All of the horses in the mixup had
an almost providential escape from SER
ious injury. The milk wagon, how
ever, was a sorrowful appearing specta-
Gle, with it's interior a chaos of milk
bespattered cans and bottles.

LAWRENCE COTTER.

Lawrence. .Cotter, the florist at Castle
Grove, on Monday returned home from
Boston. where last week he attended
the Exhibition of the American Rose
Society in conjunction with the spring
Exhibition of the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural society. Mr.. Cotter says that
the event was a great success. Every
year brings out new development and
greater perfection in the cultivation of
flowers. Not only in the scope but in
the beauty and the superb quality of
the specimens the exhibition this year
probably eclipsed all previous shows.
The exhibit of American Beauty roses,
especially, surpassed anything ever
seen. While the exhibition was not
international in its character in the
sense that any of the exhibits came
from the old world, yet the occasion
brought together galaxy of the most
cultured and eminent men of the
world, not only those directly interest
ed in Horticulture, but journalists,
authors, artists and all those who love
the beautiful in nature and appreciate
that rare bit of Gods handiwork dis
played in flowers. 1t was Mr.. Cotter's
good fortune to meet large number
of old friends not only from every part
of our own country, but from England,
Scotland and Ireland.

To Protect Costly Glass.

The beautiful stained glass window
of Gothic style, at the eastern end of
Christ Episcopal church, this city,
which has already suffered some in
jury from careless or wanton hands, is
in the future to be protected by heavy
screens manufactured expressly for the
window by the Dewitt Wire Cloth
company of Philadelphia
The great east window, the top OF
which is forty feet from the ground,
with its rare tints and its beautiful al
legorical painting from the interior of
the church is striking and inspiring
object. 1t is most superb work of art
and while there are rumors as to its
cost it is said that no one in Danville
lin position to state just what sun
of money it represents All argee that
it is very costly.
During the twenty odd years that the
church has stood the window has not
wholly escaped injury and recently il
was decided to protect it in the future
by installing wire screens or guards
artistically manufactured to fit each Of
the divisions of the window. One OF
the worst blemishes the window bears
was inflicted by the ball of flobert
rifle, which pierced the glass right al
the knee of the Savior, which is the
central figure of the painting. This
has suggested how easily other in
juries of still graver sort could bt
inflicted. For instance stone idly
thrown might cause irreparable dam
age.
The screens arrived ON Saturday ant
will be placed in position in a very
short time, probably as soon as {
scaffold can be erected There are
three screens each graceful pointed
arch in shape, to correspond with the
windows, 151a by 3A feet. besides {
round screen feet in diameter to GOV
er the great circle in the window

PETTY THBEVING
At KNITTING Mill

A discovery was made at the Dan
vile Knitting Mills yesterday morn
ing, which will probably bring to an
end a system of petty thieving that
has given the proprietors much con-
cern of late. 80
For some time those in charge had
been missing stockings and despite the
closest watching and inquiry they were
unable to fasten the thefts upon any
of the employees. The goods missed
were only in small quantities, a few
pairs at time, and the logical con-
clusion was that the pilfering was
done by those employed in the mill.
What strengthened the suspicion was
the fact that persons about town were
known to be wearing Danville stock
ings, and as none of the product of the
local plant is sold in Danville it was
pretty plain that the stockings worn
here could have got out of the mill in
only one way.
The efforts to find where the leak oc-
CURED were redoubled and yesterday
morning the mystery was in part
cleared up. The theory proved true
one at least one of the persons who
pilfered the stockings was an employe
and he was "caught with the goods.
Chief of Police Mincemoyer was call
ed to the plant and the offender wa'
called out and made to face the officer
1t was clear case against him: sever
al pairs of fine grade of goods wer'
found secreted in his dinner bucket
AS above intimated it was believe,
that more than one about the plant wa
guilty of the petty thieving, but al
efforts on the part of the officer AM
others to obtain from the fellow trap
ped any information that would i'm
plicate others proved unavailing.
| Although peremptorily discharge,
the young fellow was not placed unde
arrest, but was allowed to go free pro
vided he would return the goods tax
en-, making complete restitution so ia
as in his power. Meanwhile a yer
close watch will be maintained an
others about the plant who may hav
fallen into the erring ways Of the fe
low discharged will have to reform @
they will run very great risk of be
ing caught, in which event it is ne
safe to assume that they will get o
as easily as the fellow caught frs
whose name under the circumstance
we have seen fit to withhold.

MIDNIGHT FIRE
At SNYDBRpOWN

A disastrous fire occurred early yes
terday morning at Snydertown that
completely destroyed the home of Dr.
E. A. Smith and the residence and
general store of j. + Eckman.
The fire started soon after midnight
and when discovered had already gain
ed considerable neadway in the cellar
of the Smith home. Snydertown does
not possess an organized fire depart
ment and, as the hastily formed buck
ct brigade was unable to cope with the
confagration, both buildings together
with the greater part of the contents
| were entirely consumed.
DR.. Smith and his family had been
| visiting in Williamsport and arrived
at Snydertown ON the Philadelphia &
Reading about one O'Clock while the
buildings were burning,
The fire was discovered by Grant
Gonsar, whose attention was attracted
by the cracking noise of the flames.
He at once gave the alarm and the
citizens, responding, made every effort
possible to stay the conflagration. 1t
was once thought that their labors
were successful, but the fire again
burst out in an another part of Dr..
Smiths home, and then, communicate
ing to the Eckman building burned
more fiercely than ever.
Some of the furniture in both of the
houses was saved, but the most of the
furnishings were lost 1t was neces
sary to carry Mr.. Eckman, who is part
ly paralyzed, from his burning home
Much of the merchandise in the Eek
man store was saved.
Nothing has transpired to throw an,
light on the cause of the fire. Th,
Smith family being away from home
building where the fire started. Their
: was, however, fire in the furnace il
the Smith cellar, which was tended
during the family's absence, by maj
: who lived outside the home. The fur
: mace, however, was under the rear O
the house, while the fire, when -discov
} cred, was burning only in the iron
part of the cellar. 1t is theory tina
: the fire was caused by spontaneou
: combustion among DR.. Smiths medic
t ines, which were kept near the plac
T where the fire originated.
The Smith home was two and
half story brick house. The Eckma
building was frame, the store occupy
ing the front room on the ground flool

DanviIle Defeats Lewisburg.

The Lewisburg Athletic Club was
defeated in we'll played game Satur-
day evening by the Danville basket
ball team. Score 36-15.
Both teams played good and consis-
tent, although not brilliant ball. The
Danville boys seemed to have their
eyes on the basket to better advantage
than the Lewisburg tossers, scoring
more goals in proportion to the num-
ber of tries than the visitors.
The first half was played under inter-
collegiate and the second half under
national rules.
The feature of the game was the
sensational work of Frank Russell at
guard. His quick work in getting the
ball down the floor resulted a number
of times in goals for Danville.
