Papers From a Distant Land.

Miss Clara Smith has received from
her sister, Mrs. Bruce Hartman, several
copies of the 1.-The Pacific Commercial
Advertiser, of Honolulu, Hawaii
Territory, that contain many things
of great interest and incidentally offer
many surprises as to the degree of
modern development that exists on the
islands.
"The Advertiser" is fine l2-page
journal that would compare most fav-
orably with our metropolitan dailies,
and the news and advertisements in
dicate that it is published in most
progressive community. The princi-
pal topic of the paper is the floral pa
rade of the Midwinter Fiesta which is
fete similar to the Mardi Gras of
New Orleans, and which takes place
in Honolulu in February. The parade
was wonder of magnificance. Forty
automobiles decked with flowers were
in line, besides floats of all kinds and
many other features.
The Advertiser also notes in its
society column the organization of a
Mask and Wig club under the auspices
of the Myrtle Boat club, that will
present four plays each year Mr.. ant
Mrs. Hartman are both members of the
club.

Will Remove Canal Bridge.

The bridge over the abandoned can
al at Beaver street, one of the very few
canal bridges remaining in the bor
ough, is being removed to make way
for a culvert at the spot To accom-
modate the bridge there is a steep
grade at each end, which makes haul
ing difficult, in addition to which the
bridge was long ago condemned as un-
safe and the public was warned not
to use it.
The warning however, was not heed
ed and the public regardless of danger
have continued to use the bridge. The
old structure, however, is at last at the
end of its career. Beaver street, it
seems, is not public thoroughfare,
but belongs to the two industries loc-
ated north of the canal. The Stove
and Manufacturing company, therefore.
for some time past has stood ready to
remove the bridge and fill in the canal
constructing culvert to take it's place
as was done by the borough at other
points, as soon as the d. L. & w. rail
road company would cooperate, lay
ing pipe of suitable dimensions as it
did at Church street. The owners of
the canal it would seem are as anxious
as the borough is to get rid of the old
bridges and are willing enough to CO.
operate with the stove works.
A few days ago large quantity of
terra Gotta pipe two feet in diameter
was unloaded at the spot and yesterday
force of railroad employees were at
work laying the pipe. By night the
job was nearly completed, although
the men were obliged to wade water
nearly knee deep and worked against
tremendous odds.
The Stove and Manufacturing com
pany now stands ready to fulfill its
part Of the contract. The bridge will
be removed at any day and work OF
building the culvert will begin. There
will not be much interruption to trav
ell, as the Stove and Manufacturing
company has big accumulation OF
ashes, cinder, etc, available, whicl
will suffice to fill up the spot sufficient
ly to make the road passable. Stimuli
taneously with the filling up with ashe
cinder, etc. the street will be cut dowI
to conform with the general level, thu
earth obtained by the process being
used in filling up the spot.

Rural Phones are Spreading.

The Peoples Telephone System, which
has proven so great a boon to the farm
ers in this vicinity continues to spread
out rapidly. 1t is now possible to
reach every township in Montour
county except Mayberry, besides the
phones in Northumberland and Colum-
bia counties that have been installed
by the company.
A central Office has lately been es-
tablished at Turbotville, and two new
switch boards are under construction.
New lines are constantly being pushed
out; one is now being developed to
Muncy, another to Dewart, and still
another through Frosty Valley. A line
from Turbotville to Lewisburg is one
Of the extensions of the near future.
The construction work is being pushed
all the time despite the winter wealth

Truss I25 Feet Long,

One of the largest and heaviest pieces
of frame work flor rolling mill con-
struction ever made in this section is
receiving its finishing touches in the
big steel plant at the upper end of the
borough-to be used in making some
necessary repairs at the plant of the
Structural Tubing Company. 1t is in
the form of gigantic truss 1875 feet
long, embodying all the features of
modern and scientific construction.
The work is wholly in the hands Of
John A. Mowrey, who has had much
experience in the building of bridges,
mills and other heavy structures. The
truss, 1875 feet long, is l4x22 inches and
is made up of eleven separate sticks
clamped together. Its weight is esti-
mated at 80 tons and as constructed its
strength is enormous. An expert to
whom the plan was submitted by Mr..
Mowrey assured him that it would
carry 100 tons.
The big truss is designed to occupy
ing works and will take the place of
the smaller and lighter Howe truss IN
stalled some fourteen years ago and
which from it's position directly over
the rolls has become much weakened
from the constant heat as we'll as from
other causes The truss to be displac-
ed is only eighty feet long, whereas
the new truss will extend the whole
length of the plant carrying the two
mills of so and 10 feet respectively,
which center together. At each end
the truss will be supported by a
gigantic post made up of two separate
sticks 10x1S inches. 1t will carry the
ends of ten truses distributed at inter-
walls over the long span. The timber
used is southern pine, which was six
weeks en- route from the shipping point
| to Danville. The timber is all surfac-
ed. An enormous amount of work will
be involved in the important repairs,
as before the old truss can be removed
the entire roof system will have to be
proped up; then, in putting up the
new truss, which will be taken apart
in moving it from the steel plant, false
work will have to be erected in the
mill to support it while it is being put
together and pre-, erly adjusted to car
| ry its heavy burden. 1t will be near
| ly month before the work is complet-
| ed.

near town and possesses an abundance
of water and broad fertile fields is fav-

Jones in addition to being a live stock
fancier is a gentleman of education
and there is no reason why his new
venture with the stock farm should
not meet with abundant success.

Wilkes Barre Female Institute but re-
signed the year following to become
pastor of the Grove Presbyterian
church of this city He was ordained
here in 1856. His pastorate continued
until 1865 and was very fruitful.

of these, George NJ. Gearhart, along
with Rev. DR.. Mccormack, present
pastor, attended the funeral yesterday

SUDDEN DEATH
H. A. KNEIBLER

Henry A. Kneibler, a widely known
resident of Danville. died suddenly
about 8 O'Clock last evening in the Odd
Fellows rooms, city hall.
Mr.. Kneibler for some years past has
acted as janitor of the orders apart
ments. Last night the Heptasophs,
who meet in the Odd Fellows rooms,
were holding a meeting. While the
conclave was in session Mr. Kneibler,
as is customary, kept his station in the
ante room. He seemed in the best of
health and spirits and as the members
arrived and passed into the lodge room
he had pleasant word for each.
William Paugh was with the deceas-
ed when he died. He spent few mo-
ments in pleasant conversation with
Mr.. Kneibler, who sat in an arm chair
with one leg thrown negligently over
the arm of the chair. Mr. Paugh sent
in his card and in the brief moment
that his back was turned he heard a
strange gurgling noise from the direc-
tion Of the chair which filled him with
alarm. Quickly turning he found that
the deceased had fallen over with his
head upon the table and was scarcely
breathing. Mr.. Paugh flew to his side
and raised him into an erect position
at the same time summoning assistance
from the lodge room. Help, however,

in an instant. the cause of the sudden
demise according to physicians being
heart failure. The death occurring as
it did without moments warning,
was indeed dreadful shock, not only
to the family but also to the lodge
members, who were so near him when
he expired.
The deceased was So years of age and
is survived by wife, two sons and
three daughters Harry G. Keibler. of
Scranton Arthur Kneibler, of Phila

The deceased was highly honored
citizen. He was a lifelong resident of
Danville and was for many years a
heater at the Reading Iron Works and
at other industries. He was promin-
ent and devoted member of Montour
Lodge, No. 109, 1. o. o. F., and also
of the Mnemoloton Encampment, No.

Steuographer to Return rloney.

A sensation was created yesterday
morning by an order promulgated In
court by Associate Krickbaum, In
which it is stated that money amount
ing to sixty dollars was illegally re-
ceived by Stenographer Vanderslice.
and ordering that the mouey be return
ed to the County Treasury within Is
days The court order was as follows:
During the year 1905, Court Steno-
grapher George H. Vanderslice certifi-
ed to the commissioners of Columbia
county for taking notes in court for
the following days: September 10.
1904, May g, and July 20, 1905, at $40
per day, making thirty dollars. The
time so certified was enormously done
as no notes were taken on those days,
and the money was illegally drawn
from the county treasury. Now the
order of the court is that the said
George H. Vanderslice refund said $50
to the treasurer of Columbia county,
and that this order be complied with
within 10 days from this date
"And that for May 3, June ID and
September II, 1905, George H. Van
derslice charged the county of Mon
tour $50 for taking notes in court and
that for the same time he also present
ed like bills to the county Of Colum-
bia, and drew the like sum of $50. 1t
is the opinion of the court that this
was an error, and that the said George
H. Vanderslice is directed also to re-
fund to the county of Columbia the
$50 above named; and that the same be
done within 10 days from this date,

NEW INDUSTRY
FOR RIVERSIDE

A new industry is looming up in
Riverside, which if plans do not mis-
carry, promises to become an import
ant factor in the growth and develop
ment of our neighboring borough. The
industry is nothing less that plant
for the manufacture of fine hosiery.
Riverside is charming place, but
it is deficient in industries, those fami-
lies who reside there in the main be-
ing obliged to look to Danville for EN-
ployment Along with its broad ave-
residences it has scores of admirable
manufacturing sites. The trolley line
in course of construction has attracted
attention to Riverside and in light of
all the facts it would seem that new
era has dawned upon the town.
Among the manufacturing concerns
of Philadelphia that are cramped for
room and desire to establish plant
where help is plentiful is the Adams
Hosiery company. w. X. Adams, a
member of the firm, whose attention
had been called to the advantages ex-
isting at Riverside, a few days ago paid
that place visit to look over the
ground. During his stay of couple
of days duration he was in the hands
of W. T. Shepperson, Eli Hoover, DR..
Dewitt, W. r. Clark and other lead
ing spirits, who made it clear to him
that the borough stood ready to well
come an industry such as his and had
inducements to offer that he could not
ignore. Mr.. Adams had with him
specimens of the product of his plant,
which spoke for itself, being the finest
and most expensive grade of work. He
also exhibited letters from houses with
which he dealt that made it clear that
his product was in general demand
and that he could sell all the hose that
he could manufacture.
Mr.. Shepperson and his associates
took it upon themselves to offer the firm
free of cost plot of ground 200 feet
wide fronting on the Pennsylvania
railroad and to exempt the industry
from the payment of local tax for the
period of ten years.
The plot of ground offered was form
erly used for the manufacture of fire
brick and contains a roomy and sub
stantial building. Mr. Adams was
much pleased not only with the loca
tion and the natural advantages, but
also with the inducements and the
generous terms proposed by the citi-
zens There is only one point in which
he is in doubt, that is on the question
of help. Mr. Shepperson, however, has
confidence that hands in sufficient
number can be procured to keep a
good sized plant in operation.
AS things stand at present it seems
that the Adams Hosiery Company may
start up in Riverside. The PROPOSE
tion is that the building, formerly the
brick plant, be remodeled to start up in
the manufacture of fine hosiery, so that
fair number of hands may be in
structed in the work while the other
portion of the plant is being built.
After years experiment if it should
be demonstrated that help in sufficient
numbers can not be obtained in River
side the proposition will be abandon
