WIFE SECURES. a9

John Reilly, Montour Row, was ar
raigned before Justice of the Peace
W, Y. iOglesby Tuesday evening, charg-
ed with committing assault and battery
on his wife, Ida Reilly. He was held
for court and in default of bail was
committed to Jail. .e.......... ....
The alleged assault, it appears, took
place Tuesday at the house of neigh
Dor, where REILLY was drinking. The
information, which was lodged by Mrs.
Reilly, states that she entered the
house when the defendant committed
the assault, causing her "to fall
down. "fgrfn# ~ q" aH.t.9..s. 7
The defendant was arrested by Con-
stable W. e. Young On being ar
raigned he pleaded mot guilty.. The
Justice, however, deemed that a prima
facia case had been made out and he
held Reilly for court, fixing the bail
at s2oo .'a7aafF f aao'3 arpJ
The defendant declined to make any
effort to secure a bondsman In de-
fault of bail, therefore. he was COM
mitted to Jail to await the action of

EXPERIMENTS BEING
MADE IN CONCRETE

j. W. Phillips has now practically
completed the work of making con-
crete blocks for one of the new dwell.
ings which he has under way on West
Mahoning street and he will at once
begin the work of laying up the walls.
The cellar walls. wholly of concrete,
were laid up early in the summer, af-
ter which Mr.. Phillips entered upon
the work of making the blocks, which
was done with the aid of modern
contrivance. A trifle over two months
was consumed in the moulding of the
blocks. t|e. fs .am
The blocks are piled up in tiers
where they will be convenient while
building. In form and composition
they are new and are viewed by peo.
pie with more than ordinary interest.
Mr.. Phillips has discarded the use
of gravel in mixing concrete and has
used sand and cement only. He has,
therefore, a most peculiar and beauti-
full product, resembling sandstone fine
ly dressed. a-... lta.s #.a.
OF course the greater part of the
work lies in the moulding of the
blocks. Now that that branch of the
work is finished the walls will soon
be laid up. occupying probably not
more than couple of weeks.
Mr.. Phillips venture embraces the
first concrete dwelling house built in
Danville. In addition his experiment
of using sand exclusively with the
cement is being watched with no lit
tie interest, ...f
There are two buildings under way,
the cellar walls of both being con-
structed. 1t is not likely that more
than one building will he completed
this year. -gl.Br1 4H vd .l0-
While Mr.. Phillips was experiment
ing in his peculiar line Orville Swift
zer, West Mahoning street. decided to
put concrete. to new and novel use.
He wanted to install a cellar furnace
and lacking suitable flue, he decid-
ed to construct concrete chimney on
the outside of the house. He went
about the work in very artistic way
and built up graceful shaft some
twelve inches square from the ground
to the usual height above the roof
The chimney. of course, is built
against the house and it is worthy of
note that the effect is most pleasing,
the chimney rather adding to the APP
pearance of the building than detract-
ing from it.

Within the last few days sportsmen

what doubtful about going out into
the fields with a double barreled gun.
The law, however. does not affect a
gun of this kind Hr #HH.g. qrru
A local sportsman has learned from
DR.. Kalbfus, secretary Of the State

not affect a double barreled gun, and
that such may be sold and used as
freely as ever. -..- .....- IT..
He says: The law forbids the use
of an automatic gun for the killing of

Bic BUSINESS

completed the figures for the special
count of mail matter which was ord
cred for last week The figures which
were intended primarily for the use of
the post Office department. are of more

Claims. A STRIP
r: T.. r. Of new PARK

Our borough fathers a1have been
slightly Jared by making the disoov-
cry that the f. & r. Railway COM
| pnay lays claim to small slice of the
new park on Bloom street, To prove
its claim the railway company has
produced deed, which yesterday was
placed in the hands of the borough So
| licitor rH f.U na .l#saaw. r. .t
The first intimation of the railway
company's claim occurred last week
when Division Engineer DeMoyer
came to this city to meet committee
of council in relation to a brick cross
ing at the railroad on the north side
of Bloom street The proposition pre-
sented by the councilmen was to the
effect that the borough and the rail-
road company jointly construct the
crossing to connect the sidewalk be.
low the railroad with the new con-
crete pavement just completed along
the south side of the park. aE ae
The division engineer. however, had
several papers in his pocket, the i'm
port of which not only upset the COM
mittee's plans, but also indicated that
some six feet of the new concrete
pavement was on the railway COM
pany's land. spa" 75lgl9p el.fI
& The papers referred to consisted of
blue prints and deed for ground Civ
en- by the trustees of the church, when
the railway was built. According to
the evidence submitted the P. &5 r.
Railway company owns a strip of
ground 33 feet in width. The tract is
triangular in shape SO that while it
includes about six feet of the concrete
pavement from that point the line
tends toward the west the result be-
ing that the borough loses only a small
area of the new park.
Just how the difficulty may be ad-
justed is hard to tell. AS the borough
fathers view it there are several weak
points about the railway company s
claim. The borough solicitor, how
ever, Will fully investigate the mat
ter. ....r ...s.. ........... ..--..
Meanwhile the railway people have
full confidence in the validity of their
claim. They console the committee,
however, with the assurance that they
will give the borough no trouble, as
the company has no use for the ground
at this time. They hint. however that
it may prove expedient to exact a
nominal rental-say dollar a year
of the borough for the disputed tract
just to keep the claim valid. ....

BOROUGH OFFERS
A REWARD

The borough offers reward of ten
dollars for information that will lead
to the arrest and conviction of the
persons who tore up the grating in the
crossing at the third ward school
building on Tuesday night.
Several councilman have taken the
matter up. They say they regard it as
nothing short of malicious mischief
and are determined that the guilty
parties shall pay for their fun.
There is great deal of disorder at
night In that part of town, Owing to
the approach of Halloween, the boys
fancy that they have license to COM
NIT almost any form of mischief and
they go to great extremes.
On Tuesday night they carried away
the gate belonging to the property on
Bloom street near Pine street, oocupi
ed by Mrs. johnson. The greater part
of the day yesterday was spent in
search for the gate.11 "aa att ro
AT Wertmans property on Church
street the window shutters were re-
moved from the house Tuesday night,
while much other mischief of the
same kind was committed within a
radius OF three squares.
1t is too early to enter upon the celf-
bration of Halloween and Burgess
Rogers declared last night that TIE
disorder would have to cease.

A PEDDLER '.'.-'
+ ARRESTED AND FINED

p Jacob Kline, "a peddIer, who endeav-
ored to ply his vocation in Danville
without paying license as required by
the ordinance, was arrested by Chief
of-Polioe Mincemoyer Yesterday and
given hearing before Justice of the
Peace Dalton. The usual fine and
costs were imposed, which amounted
to seven dollars
There are probably few boroughs but
have enacted an ordinance similar to
the one in Danville, obligiug peddlers
to pay license tax for each day they
are engaged. Nevertheless, judging
from the frequency with which peddl-
ers fall into the police drag net, one
would think that they had rever heard
of such a thing as license.
Some of the peddlers arrested affect
to be in blissful ignorance that it is
in violation of the ordinance to ped
die without paying license tax. 9th
ers try to get out of the difficulty, when
arrested, by denying that they have
done any actual peddling in Danville
and generally find some other excuse
for being il town. One resourceful
individual. who ran across an officer
just as he was leaving one of the
houses, tried to square himself by ex-
planning that he was hunting a board
ing place. In all cases the follows.
when arrested, affect to feel very much
injured and now and then the situa-
tion becomes really pathetic as they
pay over their hard earned cash.
In the present case the mar ar
rested denied that he had been peddl-
ing in Danville The line he handled
was dress goods The justice on hear
ing the testimony believed that he was
guilty and imposed the usual fine, five
dollars for each day engaged. sa
On The ehief-of.police is of the opinion
that in practically all cases the ped
dlers, are familiar with the provision
of the ordinance, but that sooner than
pay the license tax they decide to take
the risk, combining their operations as
much as possible to the back streets.
