ThoughtIess Act lncures Penalty.

Some time ago the News called at
tention to Il bad habit INDUCED in at
the d. l.. & W crossing on Mill street
by some people held up by the passing
train-that of meddling with the gates
preventing them from falling or other
wise interfering with their action. 1t
is a source of no little annoyance TO
the gateman and while the persons in
terfering do not think it Il very grave
matter they are taking risks and they
were so warned in the newspaper ar
ticle alluded to.
The very thing foreseen has occurred
and young man of this city for a
purely -thOughtless act yesterday in
order TO escape prosecution was oblig-
ed to pay the railroad company a sum
exceeding nine dollars to reimburse it
for damage done.
\ few days ago a, the gates We're be-
ing lowered on the approach OF a train
young man who with two or three
others stood waiting reached mp and
sized a gate bringing it down to the
ground with additional force As the
supporting bar fell into a vertical posi-
tion il struck the ground with such
force as to break the tip Of the gate i'll
two about four feet from the end
An employe of the railroad company
came down the road the next day and
repaired the damage, thematter at the
same time being placed in the hands
OF the railroad detective.
The young man who caused the dam
age is a very worthy young fellow and
made no effort to keep in the dark so
that when Officer Matchin appeared in
this city yesterday he had no difficulty
in laying his hands on the person
wanted
The Young man accompanied the
detective TO the office of Jutsice Dal-
not. ready and anxious to settle the
whole affair without the formality of
an arrest. He was much surprised,
however, to learn that it required over
nine dollars TO fully reimburse the
railroad company. He paid the money,
however, and will hereafter let the
gates alone, Whether others will profit
by his experience remains to be seen.

DismantIing Under Way.

The work Cf dismautling the Bes-
semer Blast Furnace is proceeding
rapidly; the old landmark presents
quite torn-up and ragged appearance
and will soon be a thing of the past
Nearly thirty men are employed ev-
cry day and the old plant is being at
tackled at nearly every point. While
one force of men are tearing up the
long switch, other gangs are demolish-
ing the hot blast building, dismantl-
ing the big engines, while still others
are tearing down tho cast house and
the several other smaller buildings.
The plant contains an immense
quantity of iron, in the form Of i'm
mense plates or bars used for bracing
the masonry and in the system of pipes
which ramify through the buildings or
lie buried under ground. The hot blast
pipes which are being laid bare at
present are broken up as fast as they
are removed, the scrap lying in an inn
mense pile ready for shipping.
The building over the reservoir is
nearly raz,I and the system of water
pipe is for the most part dug up and
removed.
The two large engines have heen tax
en- apart and yesterday the men were
trying to disconnect the big fly wheels.
The system of machinery with blow
ing tubs of antiquated pattern is
very extensive and will yield a great
amount of scrap. One of the big en-
gines is in first class condition and
will probably fall into the hands of
some manufacturing concern and see
further service.
The large stack some ninety or a
hundred feet high, which contains
many thousand of brick will be tackl-
ed in a few days.
This Will be undermined and thrown
over bodily, affording quite spectacle
to those who happen 10 be on the
ground

Annual Election at Orphanage,1

Renewed interest and favorable
financial reports by the different lodges
makes the erection of at least one of
the proposed new buildings at the Odd
Fellows Orphans Home, near SUnbury,
during the year almost a certainty.
Such is the report that comes from the
Orphanage, where the annual meeting
of the directors and representatives
was held Tuesday afternoon.
In round numbers the amount now
i'll the building fund is $1,000. This
in connection with the money sub.
scribed by the various lodges and not
paid in is quite encouraging and at
the meeting Tuesday a special commit
tee was appointed to hurry along the
matter. The committee IS composed of
W. II. J. Holmes, j. |. Shoemaker, j.
Z. Zimmerman, Emanuel Malick and
Ormal Newall. 1t is proposed to build
the boys new dormitory first and 1t IS
expected that matters can be shaped 10
break ground during the summer.
Never before has the Home been in
a more prosperous condition, besides
the special fund for building the sum
in the general treasury is Sl10O. This
is not offset with a single debt,
At the meeting Tuesday the follow
ing officers were elected to serve for
the ensuing year:

Left for San Antonio, Texas.
January 9th, 1906.

Theodore Doster of the firm of John
Doster's Sons yesterday left for San
Antonio, Texas, for the purpose of
bringing to Danville the remains of
Edward Cope, the young soldier, who
was accidentally killed by a pistol
shot at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, last
August
The facts are still fresh on the minds
of our readers. Edward Cope, who
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Cope, of Mausdale, was seated in his
room at the barracks when his bodga
was.pierced by a ball from a revolver
in the hands of agcomrade, which was
accidentally discharged, death follow
ing almost instantaneously.
The young soldiers parents desired
to have the body brought to Danville
at the time, but they were apprised
that the health regulati ons in force
would not permit the removal of the
body north until cold weather. Mean
while interment was made in the Ma
tional Soldiers cemetery at San An
tonic, Texas.
The body will be brought north in a
sealed (air tight case and reinterred
in Odd Fellows cemetery. Mr.. Dos
ter, who left here yesterday noon, will
arrive at San Antonio Saturday morn
ing. Returning, he will reach Dan
vile, completing the round trip of four
thousand miles, by Thursday next.
Thelgovernment ships the bodies OF
soldiers home only when death occurs
in any of our foreign possessions. In
the present case the cost of shipping
the remains from Texas will have to
be borne by the family of the deceased.
