Shadrach Fry, Dead.

Shadrach Fry, an old and a we'll
known resident of Danville departed
th is life at 6 80 O'Clock Sunday
morning at his home, No. 6OS Bloom
street. Death was due to general de-
bility. He had been confined to his
bed for some two weeks.
The deceased was born in Sodbury,
Gloucestershire, England, in 1882. He
came to America in 1858, settling in
Danville. He resided in this city ever
since with the exception of some ten
years which he spent with his family
in Columbia. He was roll turner by
occupation and was considered very
skillful workman. For many years he
was employed at the big mill.
He was man of strict integrity and
morality. He was a member of the
Grove Presbyterian church and was
esteemed as Jealous and consistent
Christian. He was we'll liked by his
fellow workmen and was regarded as
a solid and representative citizen OF
our town.
The deceased is survived by his wife,
two sons and two daughters Edward
H. Fry of Harrisburg; and John F.
Fry, of Buffalo, N. Y; Mrs. William
Lynch, of New York City, and Mrs.
Luther J. Schroeder, of Columbia. Two
brothers also survive: John Fry, OF
Wigton, Center county, and William
Fry, of Eddyville, Iowa,

THE SPRING CLEANING.

1t is quite unnecessary to remind the
women that spring cleaning is an i'm
perative inconvenience just at this
season. They are alive to this fact; so
much so that their husbands are in
clined to growl because of the prompt
ness with which the women turn the
mouse upside down and commence
spring cleaning season as the first rob-
ms and blue birds arrive. Very few
homes escape this seasopable and SELL
sible rejuvenation, thanks to the wo-
men who occupy them. But with the
men it is different They rarely want
to do today what can be put off till
tomorrow. They'd let spring clean-
ing go till midsummer and then ad-
iourn the work till next fall, if they
could. The proof of this is found in
the conditions of the back yards, of
the numerous hooks and corners where
trash accumulates and of vacant lots
which have been piled high with stuff
of every description during kthe win
ter. Now is the time to clean out all
these places and make them neat and
wholesome but though the women are
in the depths of spring cleaning many
of the men have hardly begun to think
about cleaning up the deserted and
neglected spots out of doors.

Lawrence COtter in Larger Field.

Lawrence Cotter, the we'll known
florist, who has had charge of the
greenhouses at Castle Grove for a year
or so past, has accepted position with
Eugene Foss, of Boston, and is now in
charge of one of the largest and best
known establishments in the country.
Mr.. Cotter left Danville on Sunday
evening and on May lst entered upon
his new position. The lease held by
Mr.. Cotter ON the Castle Grove green
houses does not expire until June 10.
Meanwhile the business here will be
in the hands of Mr.. Cotter's son, Will
lam Cotter, young man of studious
habits and of Intelligence, who already
has mastered the details of Horticulture
and who in time promises to attain the
distinction won by his father. Frank
Bannigan is foreman under William
Cotter at Castle Grove. Mr.. Cotter' S
family will reside at Castle Grove un-
til the lease expires, on June 18TH,
when it will remove to Boston.
The future of the green houses at
Castle Grove is not known. William
Cotter, yesterday stated, that if things
prove at all favorable he might lease
the establishment himself the next
year.
Lawrence Cotter stands very high as
florist and will be sure to succeed in
the larger field that he has entered.
He is very widely known over the Un-
ion, but nowhere better than among
the progressive people of Boston, a fact
which insures him a felicitious and
prosperous career. Mr. Cotter made
many friends in Danville and when
ever for the sake of old associations he
feels like drifting this way he may
rest assured that he will receive roy
al welcome.

A Promising Young Artist.

The Portland (Oregon) Express"
of last Saturday contains large por-
trait of Abraham Lincoln-a free hand
drawing-by Chester Eggert. aged II
years, who is regarded as a marvel TAX
ing his youth and the excellence of his
work into account. The gifted lad is
the son of our former townsman, Hiram
Eggert, and a nephew of Richard w..
Eggert.
The Evening Express prints the
portrait as a sample of what the youth
full artist is capable of doing in black
and white.
Chester" the newspaper states,
sis the youngest of a family of eight
children. With his folks he resides at
Ligonia, but with so many mouths to
feed Chester had to be content with a
grammar school education. James Otis
Kaler, superintendent of the schools
for South Portland, early discovered
the talent of young Eggert for draw
ing and was largely instrumental in
his taking a course at the Fox studio,
where he studied from casts. His
drawing has attracted wide attention
and many orders for his work are re-
ceived. His tastes run to broad carlo
ature work and he displays an individu
ality and an originality that reminds
one strongly of the great Thomas
Mast. Besides his talent for drawing
Chester and indeed the whole Eggert
family are musicians and the Eggert
Mandolin and Guitar club is not un-
known to entertainment committees in
this city"

VIII Build State Road.

That the State road, which will ex-
tend from the borough limits to Pax
mos and for which the Coal township
road commissioners have worked so
hard is now an assured fact.
State Road Commissioners Joseph
W. Hunter and II. F. Randall arrived
here yesterday afternoon and made ar
rangements to get the plans, specifica-
tions, ETC., for the road in order to ad-
vertise for bids at the earliest possible
date. When seen last evening they
stated that the contract would be let
as soon as possible and that the work
would then be pushed with all possible
speed. When completed the road will
be one of the best in the State. -Sha-
mokin Leader.
The proposed road is between 3 and
miles long and is ON one of the routes
between here and Shamokin. Danville
people who drive from here to Sha-
mokin will be pleased to hear of the
improvement.

The team made dash for the farm
buildings and when it arrived at the
barn the boy was clinging to the seat.
His foot in some way had caught fast.
The toe of his shoe on the right foot
was completely pinched off ;his big toe

Residents Affected,

While traffic on the Catawissa divis-
ion of the p. 81 r.. has been reduced
to small proportions by the anthracite
coal troubles, enormous quantities of
bituminous coal is being handled by
this road on some of its divisions fur
ther down the line.
The very unusual order has therefore
been received at Catawissa ordering
large number of trainmen from that
place to report at once to Harrisburg
for work. Three full train crews have
received such orders. The following
men, all from Catawissa, have gone to

Exchange is Growing.

Hon. L. w. Welliver was in Dan
Vile yesterday, where he announced
himself as in the race for associate
Judge. Mr.. Welliver halls from Ex-
change, the homelike and prosperous
town of Anthony township, where so
many substantial and representative
people reside.
Exchange was formerly unfortunate
in lying so far from the county seat,
but of late distance has been annihil-
ated by the telephone, and Mr.. We'll
liver states that there are just twenty
phones i'll the town. Scarcely a day
passes but the citizens call up Danville
and thus keep in touch with events at
this end of the county.
Exchange is growing town. Last
year four new houses were added, built
by Boyd Stead, Augustus Kleeman,
William Dildine and l.. w. Welliver.
Several others will be erected this
year. Ground is already broken for
three, to be built by Thomas Sharon,
John Dennen and John Ritter.
Exchange has three good stores.
Thomas Dennen has Hon. l.. w. We'll
liver's old stand. Boyd Stead has "A
very fine store. The other store, where
the telephone exchange is installed, is
kept by Lizzie Wagner. William
Houghton keeps the hotel, which is
described as a very fine hostelry. There
are two churches, one of them Luth-
eran and the other Catholic church.
At the latter Rev. Father Feeser of the
Holy Family convent, Danville, offici-
ates. Exchange has no doctor but it
boasts of a woman lawyer, Mrs. B.
Frances Wagner. Squire Ellis and
John Ellis, the latter director in the
Peoples bank, this city, both are resi-
dents of Exchange. Former county
treasurer James f. Brannen was near.
ly lifelong resident of Exchange. A
couple of years ago along with his
wife he went to California for the
benefit of his health. Just now the
residents of Exchange are happy ovel
the tidings that Mr. and Mrs. Bremen
are on their way home-that Mr.. Bren
nen has fully recovered his health ant
that the couple will again take VI
their residence at Exchange.

Only One Case of Typhoid.

The report of the local registrar sent
in to the bureau of vital statistics for
the month of April is a very good
showing, especially as relates to con-
tagious diseases 1t has been long
while since such few cases of ty-
phoid fever were reported in single
month This is especially gratifying
in view of the report of State Health
Commissioner Dixon a month or SO
ago, which showed that Montour led
nearly every other county in the num-
Der of typhoid cases. 1t is so..worthy
of note that at the present time
there is not dwelling under auaran-
tine in the district, the last placard
being removed ON Friday.
The report just sent in shows that
there was only one case of typhoid
fever in April. There were three cases
of pneumonia and five of diphtheria.
Mumps have made their appearance
since the last report and of this disease
three cases are reported. There
were no deaths during the month from
contagious diseases. The number of
deaths due to all causes was twenty
four, which is one less than during
March. 1t is the first month since the
law providing for immediate registra-
tion of births and deaths went into
effect that the contagious diseases have
not been attended with mortality.
There were six cases of diphtheria in
March and seven in February.
