Petition Circulating.

There is circulating among the Span
ish- American War survivors in Dan
Vile a petition applying for charter
for the UNITED Spanish War Veter-
ans, an entirely new organization
national in its character, which is the
outcome of the amalgamation of four
societies: the Spanish war veterans,
the SpauishAmerican war veterans,
the society of the service men of the
Spanish war, and the Society of the
Hespano American war. Formerly
Spanish American war veterans now
embraced in the above amalgamatiOn.
What success may attend the effort to
organize camp of the amalgamated
organization remains to be seen. There
are no less than seyenty-fv survivors
of the Spanish-American war in Dan
vile and vicinity and if the movement
fails it obviously will not be for the
want of material.
L nc dlllttilOll W dS NOlll pltitu III
1901. One hundred and fifteen camps
scattered all over the United States
surrendered their old charters and re-
ceived new ones from the amalgamat-
ed organization. \ camp may be org
anized and a charter granted on the
application of ten or more persons who
have served in the army, navy or mar
inc corps, in the Spanish American
war, Chinese expedition or Philippine
insurrection, prior to July /, 1902 A
beautiful ritual or ceremony has been
provided, known as the secret work,
with which all members are mustered
and the work of the camp conducted.
A grip and pass words are commune
ated by which one member may rec
ognize another. The organization is

Freight Wreck Causes Delay.

The work of Buchanan & company,
contractors for the heat, light and
power plant at the hospital for the in
sane, has been most Unexpectedly held
up by freight wreck which occurred
on the p. & r. railway last Friday.
The work of wiring the building
was progressing nicely, some twenty
men being employed. The material on
hand being about all used up yester-
day morning Mr.. Stutterheim who is
in charge of the work went to the 7.
& r. station to make inquiries con-
cerning a shipment of boxes expected,
when he was informed that the freight
train had been wrecked and the cars
containing the goods had been burned
up The contents of the cars were
ruined and considered as lost, no at
tempt being made to recover them.
The news was quite "A surprise TO
Mr.. Stutterheim and the non arrival
of material embarrasses hlm in his
work considerably, as it will be neces-
sarv for him to shift his men to an
other part even if it is possible to keep
them employed.

Dark Places Lighted Up.

Borough Electrician Jones has been
very busy for week or so past and
three dark places i'll the borough,
which heretofore have not known the
luxury of electric light, last night and
the night preceding were lighted up
for the first time.
On Tuesday an arc light was swung
from the pole planted near G. L. Nc
Lains grocery, Walnut street, about
midway between the light at Hon.
James Fosters residence and the un-
dergrade crossing at A street The
residents along this section of Walnut
street have put in repeated appeals for
light during the years that electric
light has been employed for street
lighting. 1t was not until municipal
light was adopted and given satisfact-
ory trial, however, that the borough
could see it's way clear to light up this
section as it should be done. The resi-
dents, who for so many years felt them
selves sighted, are delighted with the
effect.
During yesterday two additional arc
lights were installed, one at Front and
Cedar streets and the other at the low
er end of Railroad street near the bor-
ough line Both of these places have
always been in need of light. From
the lower end of Railroad street, es-
pecially, there have been frequent ap-
peals for an arc light, but it was not
until the present that council felt it
self i'll a position to comply. Both
points are now well lighted up and
the residents are both pleased and
grateful

Ihe Case is ADpeaIed.

Prothonotary Thomas G.. Vincent
Tuesday received a telegram from
Lewis G. Green, deputy prothonotary
of the State supreme court at Phlla-
delphia, apprising him of the fact that
an appeal had been taken i'll the case
of the Danville and Sunbury street
railway company and that the GER
tiorari would be forwarded by mail
An appeal in this case was not alto
gether unexpected The petition was
presented to the court on February
20th last and on the same day a rule
was granted to show cause why re-
ceiver for the Danville and Sunbury
street railway company should not be
appointed. On April 25th Judge Evans
handed down an opinion refusing to
appoint a receiver and discharging the
rule.
On motion of William Kase West eX-
ceptions were noted for the petition
ers and the bill was sealed by the
court. The limit of twenty days, dur
ing which the case could be appealed,
expired yesterday.
The supreme court does not con-
vene until next January and with the
case appealed the natural inference
would be that the road is hopelessly
tied up until that time, which indeed,
will be discouraging news to those
who have been so fondly hoping TO see
the line in operation in the near fu-
ture

BIG SHIPMENT
OF Fish ARRIVES

The largest number of fish that ever
came to Danville for the purpose Of
replenishing the streams hcreabOut, ar
rived Friday evening and Saturday
morning. In addition to the shipment
of wall-eyed pike, pike perch or Sus-
quehanna salmon, the name under
which they are more commonly known,
which shipment was alluded to in
these columns Wednesday, there was q
shipment of pickerel fry from the Mt.
Pleasant hatchery due at about the
same time.
Charles Ruckel, who had made the
application for the pickerel, was in
formed by telegram that the fish fry
were on their way and would arrive
here on Friday morning. On meeting
the morning train, however, Mr.. Ruck-
ell was informed that the fish had not
arrived and the supposition was that
there had been some misunderstood
ing and that they would arrive Satur-
day morning. On Friday night, how
ever, the pickerel fry, filling five cans,
most unexpectedly arrived at the sta
tion and the fact developed that they
had gone astray and had been carried
far out of their way. As a result the
fish had suffered much for the want of
care ; some were dead while those liv-
ing were very much enfeebled. The
pickerel were designed for the Chillis
quaque creek, but all idea of carting
them so far had to be abandoned and
it was perfectly plain that if even
those that survived were to be pre-
served they would have to be placed
in their native element at once As
the best way out of the difficulty,
therefore, the pickerel fry were plac-
ed in the Mahoning creek near its
mouth. Application will be made inn
mediately for another shipment of
piokerel for the Chillisquaque to take
the place of the one that went astray.
The Susquehanna salmon arrived
from the Erie hatchery, Saturday morn
ing, in a flourishing and healthy state.
There were ten cans of them, repre-
senting many thousand fish. They were
met at the station by John Mccall and
John Fisher, by whom they were de
posted in the North branch at Harvey
Lamberson's S and at Red Point.
The Susquehanna salmon may attain
a fair size III two years and Will add
much to the sum total of sport for
fishermen. Fish fry placed in the riv-
er, develop RAPIDLY. Last season sew
eral large mouthed black bass measur-
ing between II and II inches were
caught which had been placed in the
river the year before
If fishermen elsewhere along the
North branch would take as much in
terest in replenishing the streams as
Danville people it probably would not
be long before fish would be as plenti-
ful as at any time III the past. w f.
Meehau, commissioner of fisheries de
serves great credit for what he is do
ing to replenish the streams and TO
protect the fish :the least that the gen
eral public can 10 to promote the good
is TO cooperate along all lines. which
means not only to apply for fish, plac-
ing them properly in the streams, but
also to aid in enforcing the fish
laws

CHARLES HUNTER
CAUSES FIJRORE

The Sunbury Daily yesterday con-
tanned the following concerning
well-knOWn young man Of this city:
Residents of the Third ward, Sun
bury, residing in the neighborhood of
Third and Walnut streets, were reused
to state Of excitement late Tuesday
afternoon by the queer antics Of Charles
Hunter, of Danville, who was finally
locked up in the county jail by Chief
Of Police Waltz pending an investiga-
tiOn concerning the man $ mental con
dition.
During the past several months
young Hunter frequently came to Sun
bury i'll connection with the pursuit
OF his business, but at no time showed
any signs of Il weakened mental cOudi-
tion until Tuesday.
Along about three O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon Hunter entered the barn on
the premises Of j G.. Chesnutt Oh
Walnut street and took long handled
shovel and started a tour of the neigh
borhood. Going to the home of Mrs.
Washington Embeck on Third street
he said that he had come to dig garden
as he had promised At first Mrs. EN-
beck thought that the man had made
mistake and tried to set matters right.
This seemed to rouse hls ire and he
threatened to hit her in the head with
pick. He otherwise acted strangely
there but left without doing any harm
The same actions were continued at a
number of other places in the neigh
bOrhOod and Hunter became so violent
in his demonstrations that the COM
munity was thrown into a wild state
of excitement and Chief Waltz was
telephOned for. Hunter tanned down
when the officer arrived and went with
him peacefully until the jail was
reached when he again became violent
and had to be locked up in cell by
force. Unquestionably the man was
seized by temporary spell of insan-
ity

A TEST OF
PAVING BRICK

\ test of the paving blocks made IN
river bridge at Catawissa, Saturday,
has revealed that they are inferior TO
those used on the river bridge at Dan
VILE. fact which has caused much
dissatisfaction The appearance of the
blocks. it seems, was not wholly IN
their favor and to see just to what ex
tent they fell short Hon. William I.
Greasy secured several of the blocks
used on our bridge, with which the
Catawissa blocks were compared. The
test was made by John Fisher of Cata-
wiSSa.
The blocks used in the Catawissa
bridge floated when placed in water;
those used in the Danville bridge sunk
like lead. Two of the best Catawissa
blocks weighed pounds and l5l@
ounces and the two used on the Dan
willie bridge, pounds and ounces.
After being immersed an hour the
CatawisSa blocks weiged 1 pounds and
~ ounces. a gain of > ounces, and the
Danville blocks, Is pounds and ounces,
a gain of an ounce. At the end of II
hours the Catawissa blocks weighed /
pounds aud Is ounces, a gain of Ill
per cent, while the Danville blocks
weighed 6 pounds and So ounces, "A
gain of , per cent. At the end of "a
hours the CataV issa blocks weighed /
pounds and ouhces and the Danville
blocks. pounds and 9 ounces and at
the end Of 20 hours the Catawissa
blocks weighed pounds and S ounces
and the Danville blocks pounds and
9 ounces The tests go to show the
Catawissa blocks to be greatly inferi-
or. All of which confirms the belief
that Dauville has not only one of the
most imposing, but also one of the best
constructed and most durable bridges
along the North branch.

Vaccination Law Fully Sustained

The State department of health is
greatly pleased over the opinion of the
supreme court by Chief Justice Nit
chell in disposing Of the famous Way
nesborO vaccination case.
1t will be remembered that agitators
had gotten the people of Waynesboro
so infamed over the vaccination con
troversy that the whole town was al
most in a state of insurrection.
Everything possible was done to in
duce the people to defy State author
tiles and to prevent enforcement of
the law.
When the litigation that followed
was finally brought to the attention of
the supreme court that tribunal not
only sustained the right of the State
health board to exercise police powers,
but the opinion of Justice Mitchell
takes much wider sweep concerning
the value of the statute which requires
that school children must be yaccinat-
ed before they shall be admitted to
public schools.
In regard to the contention of some
of the people and a number of the
officials of Waynesboro that there had
| been no smallpox in the town for forty
years, Justice Mitchell points out that
presence or absence of the disease has
nothing to do with the case
THE substantial question in this
case, " the Justice says, sis whether
the act of June Is, 1895, p L. 203, re-
| quiring the exclusion from the public
| schools of children who have not been
vaccinated, is a valid exercise of the
! police power of the State. 1t has been
! twice so decided by this court.
After these two decisions the ques-
| tionS ought to have been considered as
| closed But we have it raised again
with small variations of facts and con-
| siderations, none of which are at all
material.
Replying to the contention of the
Wanyesboro appellants that to require
the vaccination of a child is "a tres
pass upon the reserved rights Of the
individual which are beyond the reach
of even the police power, Justice
! Mitchell says
At present the vast preponderance of
opinion among intelligent and educat-
ed people, under the guidance of the
| best medical authority, is that vac
cination is highly useful ameliora-
| tive if not always a preventive of one
of the greatest scourgeS that have in
| the past times afflicted humanity, and
| the regulation of it by statute is not
only justifiable, but a wise and bene-
| ficent eXertion of the police power
over the public health.
