Paving Blocks on River Bridge.

The story from Catawissa relative to
the bulging of the wooden pavement
on the river bridge as the result of the
frequent rains, which is printed in
these columns elsewhere, has count
erpart in clipping from the Harris
burg Telegraph of June, 18th, which
describes a similar defect i'll the wood
en- paving of Pine street, that city.
Pine street, Harrisburg, was paved
by the United States wood preserving
company, the same firm that put down
the paving on the river bridge at this
place and also at Catawissa. While the
pavement on the bridge here is per
fectly sound and intact revealing no
sign whatever of swelling as the re-
suit of many rains the wooden blocks
elsewhere, it seems, act quite differ
emily. At Harrisburg the swelling and
the consequent bulging was more
marked, if possible, than at Catawlssa.
At the corner of Pine and Court streets
the pavement bulged up three feet A
touring car while passing over the
damaged portion Tuesday afternoon
broke through and it was necessary to
lift the car from the hole.
As a result of these unfavorable re-
ports a close watch is being kept on
the paving of our bridge by good
many persons, but up to the present
not the least evidence of any such a
defect can be detected. The creo resin
ated blocks used here seemed to be OF
perfect quality. They were so heav-
lily charged with the ingredients that
they readily sank in water and every
block that fell overheard from the
bridge while building went to the bot
tom of the river
1t was charged at the time the paw
ing was put down on the Catawissa
bridge that the blocks were lighter
than those used on the river bridge
here.
The whole affair is not discouraging
to Danville, as it serves to establish
that our handsome bridge is first class
in all its parts.

Decayed Floor Causes Bad Fall.

Mrs. G f. Smith, Mill street, met
with singular accident about 4
O'Clock last evening, as the result of
which she was obliged to take her bed.
Mrs. Smith was attending to some
household duties ON the rear porch,
when a rotten board gave way beneath
her weight and her left limb dropped
down through the aperture. As she
fell her back struck the washing mach
inc and in addition to the injury sus-
tanned on the limb her back was very
badly bruised by the force of the blow
For few moments her position was
most terrifying and perilous. With
her limb imprisoned between the
boards she hung on the edge of the
porch clinging to a barrel for support
Charles Schuster heard her cries for
help and he ran to her rescue.
Before the woman could be released
it was necessary to pry up another
board from the porch floor Although
be determined, yet Mrs. Smith sus-
tanned several painful abrasions and
bruises and suffered considerably
The porch is elevated at some dis
tance from the ground. The treacher-
Gus board, although much decayed un-

MOULDERS' PICNIC
fine SUCCESS

The picnic held by the Iron Mould
ers' union at Dewitt S park on Satur
day proved to be fine success. The
attendance was large, the day pro-
gram was fully carried out and not an
event occurred to mar the pleasure OF
the occasion.
The parade to the park, shortly after
ten O'Clock, was quite feature and 1t
no doubt helped to create an interest
in the picnic. There were sixty five
men in line, music for the march be-
ing furnished by the Washington drum
corps.
The game of base ball between
Springfield and nine picked players
representing Danville and Bloomsbury
was a well played and interesting con
test, the score being to l in favor of
Springfield A large crowd witnessed
the game.
Dancing was much enjoyed during
the afternoon and evening. The merry
gO-round, pending the completion of
the electric railway, is being operated
by traction engine the same rs last
summer. 1t was the center of attrac-
tion among the little ones, Saturday,
and the proprietor did a land office
business. All the hacks available were
kept busy during the day.
The crowd on the grounds surpassed
all expectations and the big supply of
refreshments provided was inadequate
to supply the demand.
No. l73 was the lucky number that
drew the chair, which was on eXhibi-
tion in the window of John Doster' 5
Sons for some weeks previous to the
picnic. II holder of the ticket is a
stranger f. 1hicago. The man
was evider IN DanyiIle when he
bought tn -'cket to help the moulders
along Ia all there were $50 tickets
sold for the chair. The stove will not
be disposed of until September
The committee of arrangements, of
which John MintZer was chairman,
was kept very busy for several weeks
preceding the picnic and il was due
in no small degree to their painstak-
ing labors that the picnic proved such
a marked success.

No Drift Wood in the River.

One fact brought out by the rising
i'll the river this year is that the days
of driftwood are past, as no more tim
Der is seen running with every slight
rise as was the case in years gone by.
The scenes of years ago when boatmen
by the dozen made a business of catch
ing driftwood, good lumber and tim
Der of all kinds which came floating
down, are recalled and the question is
asked, why is there no driftwood III
the river at the present day? This is
explained in the fact that the timber
along the river is all cleared out and
there are no more lumber camps.
Then too, it is said that the ice gorge
and floods of 1904 so thoroughly swept
the banks of the river that there is
very little brush, logs and rubbish OF
to be swept down with each slight
rise

G. A. K. Picnic at EdgewOod.

The picnic executive committee OF

SUPERVISORS
ARRESTED

George y. Mourer, ID. l.. Gruber
and Asa Deiley, supervisors of MOntour
township, Columbia county, were ar
rested Tuesday eve for neglect of duty.
The information. which was lodged
by Samuel Harman, of Bloomsbury,
charges the above supervisors with
neglect in keeping the roads OF the
township and especially the road be-
tween Evans farm and the county
line near Grovania in proper repair.
The supervisors waived hearing be-
fore Justice of the Peace Jacoby at
Bloomsbury, at z O'Clock Tuesdaynand
furnished bail in one hundred dollars
for their appearance at court.
The stretch of road from Evans
farm to Grovania runs parallel with
the trolley track and those who have
not had the agonizing experience of
driving over the highway have no
doubt noticed its condition while rid
ing in the trolley cars. The condi-
tion of the roadway has been much
commented upon.
For long stretches at a time lime
stone, unbroken, has been dumped on
the road. The stone, in all sizes from
that of brick to cObble stone, lies
spread over the surface of the road
The plan of the thrifty supervisors is
of course to follow the time honoTed
custom and let traffic break up and
| wear down the stone. By this process,
of course, a very good road is finall y
evolved, although it is very hard on
the unfortunate people who are oblig
ed to use the highway for the first
three months or so. 1t is not strange
| that in these days, when the tendency
is toward road improvement, that a
general protest should be entered and
some method of road improvement
urged that would conform with the
requirements of the law.
The automobilists, especially, are
| the loudest in their protests, as the
road in its present state is practically
prOhibitive to rubber tires. 1t is stat
ed that the autoists are back of the
prosecution and will press the matter
until the road is put in better shape.

had a stumpy worn appearance exceed
ingly suggestive of a hobo wearer.
The stockings were nearly worn out
and were saturated with water. The
shoes were stained with mortar and
there were chunks of the same adher-
ing to the heels This fact gave rise
to the theory that the burglar was a
workingman, but during yesterday it
was discovered that during Monday
night some one had walked through
the mortar box at r. S. zimmerman s
new barn almost in the rear of the
shoe store where there is no light
sufficient TO make the way clear. A tub
of water near by showed where the
person who had stumbled into the
mortar had attempted to clean off his
shoes

A Berwick Damage Salt.

The Yeager damage suit against the
borough of Berwick on trial at Blooms
burg during the past week came to a
close yesterday with verdict in favor
of the plaintiffs for $3, 800. The case
attracted n good deal of attention and
will stand as an object lesson for 9th
er boroughs, showing the necessity of
properly protecting all dangerous
places The trial was "A very hard
fought one, with James Scarlet Of this
city for the plaintiff and Fred keller
of Bloomsbury for the defendant.
The plaintitf in the case was Mrs.
Clara Yeager, who is sister of Mrs.
George W. Roat. of this city. The ac-
cident in which injury was sustained
occurred September 4, 1904, on Front
street while a pavement was being
laid before Garrison's 5 store and Hell
ler's saloon While the work was in
progress an opening where a cellar
door had been removed was tempOrar-
ily covered with a board and a box,
the later being placed where the board
did not reach. The board was either
kicked away or the box was removed
with the result that Mrs Yeager pass
ing along that way at night fell into
the opening and was seriously injur-
ed The jury went out on Tuesday af
ternoon At O'Clock p. m. the jury
came to an agreement The verdict
according to instructions was sealed
The associate judges opened court
yesterday morning when the verdict
was opened and read. The jury award
ed Mrs. Yeager $3, 225 and her hus-
band. Wilson Yeager, S22j.

READY FOR ROOF
BY JULY lST

The walls of f. q. Hartman's silk
mill in Riverside are now rapidly ap-
preaching completion and the unfnish-
ed structure is becoming quite con-
spicuous object, visible from many
different points
The brick work all around the build
ing has risen nearly to level with
the top of the door and window frames
all of which have been in position for
a week or more past. 9. III. Ammer-
man, who has charge of the brick
work, yesterday stated that by July
1st the building would no doubG be
ready for the roof.
From that point on building will
proceed very rapidly. Work on the
roof and the flooring will soon be out
of the way, after which the machin-
cry will be installed Long before

tions, the new mill will be in opera

that have especial reference to solidity
and strength. Instead of thirteen
inch wall or even thinner as is often
employed in structures of that sort,
Mr.. Hartman is building a wall eigh-
teen inches thick. the outer course of
which is composed of Keim's best red
brick and the remainder of the wall of
fire brick obtained at the bessemer
blast furance The effect is to give the
interior of the mill light or drab ap-
pearance. Three walls of solid mas
onry, foundation high, sixteen feet
apart, extend through the middle of
the plant the whole length. On these
walls already rest the heavy oak sleep
ers that will support the floor system.
In some of the other mills the floors
along the center of the building are
supported on piers, but Mr.. Hartman
has learned by experience how to con-
struct floors that will carry the heav
lest machinery without any of the
evidences of weakness that often prove
a source of trouble.
The silk mill will not be deficient
in light if multiplicity of windows
count for anything. In the building,
130x47 feet, there are just forty-one
windows and three doors.
The boiler house, which will also
contain the engine, will be built at
the rear or western end of the mill.
The foundation walls for this, 27x47
feet, are nearly completed. This annex,
like the main structure will be built
of brick

No Action is Yet Taken.

The old canal, which ordinarily is
bad enough, due to the frequent rains
this season seems doubly offensive. The
accumulation of Objectionable matter
is constantly increasing, while in ad-
dition every foot of the bottom has be-
come soggy and foul, and, fermenting
under the sun, exhales noxious and
disease breeding effluvia, which fire.
quently at night is little short of nau-
seating.
At the last term of court the old
ditch was returned by the constable OF
the First ward as a nuisance. This
was a new method of dealing with the
problem and there were no doubt some
people who thought the measure would
be productive of results. Judge Evans
promptly referred the matter to the
district attorney, to take such action
as might be necessary in the premises.
What course was open for the dis
trict attorney was not exactly clear to
anybody and it will hardly be mat
ter of surprise to learn that at this
date, three weeks after court, nothing
has been accomplished-that no steps
have been taken in the matter.
1t is a question of expedieney
whether the d. L. & W. railroad COM
pany should have been returned to
court or the borough of Danville for
permitting the owners of the canal to
maintain the nuisance. District Attor-
ney G. P. Gearhart yesterday acknowl-
edged that it was exceedingly doubt
full whether anything looking to the
abolishment of the canal would be ac-
complished under the present mode of

Woman Drank Carbolic Acid.

With an empty carbolic acid bottle

drunk, Mrs. Clyde Van Horn, OF Ben
ton. was found by searchers in a Sc
cluded spot on the farm of her son
Elmer Van Horn in Greenwood town
ship, Columbia county, where she was
visiting at the time.
Mrs. Van Horn and her husband had
themselves lived in Greenwood up to
two months ago when they removed to
Benton. Tuesday afternoon she made
a trip to Greenwood to spend few
DAYS with her son and from her hrst
arrival it was noticed that she was IN
a melancholy state As she had been
somewhat ailing for the past two
years, nothing was thought of this,
however. until she went out of the
house in the evening about O'Clock
and failed to return. After half hour
had elapsed, the family became anX-

ter a two hours search the aged wo-
man was discovered in secluded cor
ner of the fence, fifty yards from the
house. lying unconscious. A z ounce
carbolic acid vial in her hand told the
story.
