GEORGE GARDENERS
NARROW ESCAPE

George Gardner, our we'll known
townsman, met with a terrible fall
Monday. which came near putting
him out of business for awhile, if not
permanently winding up his career.
Mr. Gardner was engaged in cut
ting down the large horse chestnut
tree in front of Mrs. Stickle's resi-
dence on Center street. To remove the
tree without having it come in con-
tact with any Of the buildings that
stood close by or the electric light,
telephone and other wires which ran
through under the branches taxed Mr..
Gardner's ingenuity, but he accom-
plished what he set out to do, although
as above stated he met with a serious
accident.
The limb hanging over the wires he
secured by chain. which he attach
ed to one of the upper limbs, after
which he sawed the limb loose from
the trunk. The limb refusing to swing
clear, Mr. Gardner was obliged to saw
it in two, task which was accom-
panied with much danger. One part
Of the limb swing clear. but to proper
ly handle the remaining portion it was
necessary to bring blocks and tackle
into play.
While using the latter Mr.. Gardner
occupied position on the top of a
twenty foot ladder. While tugging at
the rope the weight of his body was
distributed in such manner as to
cause the ladder to sing around and to
fall to the ground, carrying the man
with it,
On starting on his twenty foot fall
Mr.. Gardner let go the ladder and fell
at the inside of the pavement striking
the side of his head on the palings of
the fence enclosing the lawn of the
Cruikshank residence. He lay motion
less for awhile, apparently insensible,
although Mr. Gardner AYERS that he
was dimly conscious of what was GO
ing on around him and was quite un
able to speak.
His terrible fall was witnessed by
several people living near who went
to his rescue. He was taken into one
of the dwellings nearby, where it was
found that no bones were broken, al
though his face and side of his head
were cut where he struck the fence.
Mr.. Gardner is man of iron will
and constitution A little thing like
fall of twenty feet to HIM is only an
incident and after having his injuries
dressed he surprised the spectators by
cody stepping out of the house and
his work as though nothing
had happened.

Work of the
Legislature

There are times when it becomes
necessary TO urge Legislative bodies to
get a move on; times when lethargy
instead of industry prevails in the
halls of legislation, and times when
one or both houses are, or appear to
be, obstructive And there are other
times when insistence upon haste in
legislation is a mistake. How best to
discriminate between the times for
haste and the times for deliberation
cannot be governed by any rule yet
discovered.
The legislature of Pennsylvania has
been in session seven weeks, and be-
cause only one measure has been pass
ed finally there is much complaint of
slowness of the lawmakers, coupled
with demands that somebody take
charge of them and see that something
be done directly. Nevertheless it is
generally understood that the first
three weeks Of the session, at the close
tioally devoid of legislation, and
therefore nothing is done until the
new governor has been inaugurated.
That takes two weeks away from the
formidable seven. 1t is quite true,
however, that the reform measures
promised to the people are moving
along slowly.
If there is no intention to bunco the
people toward the close Of the session
with assertion that there is insuffici-
ent time for the enactment of all the
reform bills, nothing will be lost by
reason of deliberation. There is no in
terest suffering because of slowness on
"the hill" There is no necessity for
extraordinary haste or for the railroad
ing of legislation. There must be time
for debate on every important bill on
the calendars. The gag rule must not
be invoked, if it takes all summer to
dispose of myriads Of bills that have
been or will be introduced.

Sparrow Investigation

This is the era of investigation by
the Legislature, and now the English
sparrow is under the ban. He is to be
investigated, it being alleged that he
does much mischief to growing crops
and fruit. And he is not only to be in
vestigated, but lie is to be exterminat-
ed, if DR.. Surface and his agents, act
ing as grand jury, find true bill
against him. In the house last week
there was reported from committee the
bill appropriating 81, 900 to investigate
the sparrow, and State Economic 10

INJURED HORSES
IN THE STOCKS

A horse belonging to James Good,
Toby run hollow, got loose in the
stable Sunday night and celebrated his
liberty by kicking the other horses,
still chained in their stalls, SO badly
that for awhile it seemed doubtful
whether they would recover so as to
be of any service to their owner.
The animal that broke loose had re-
Gently been shod, his shoes being pro-
vided with sharp calks and toe pieces
to enable him to get along over the
ice. The horse finding that he had the
other animals at a disadvantage did
not show either of them any mercy.
In all, three horses were kicked and in
jured, the sharpened shoes enabling
the kicking horse to do fearful execu-
tion.
A gray mare. a faithful farm amin
al, was the most seriously injured. On
the rump, about midway between the
spine and the knee of the hind leg a
deep incision seven inches long was
inflicted, which cut nearly into the
bone and tore the skin and the muscle
loose, the whole forming an ugly flap
of tissue, which hung down attached
only by one end Another horse was
lacerated in nearly the same way,
while third kicked on the leg. es-
capped with less serious injury.
Veterinarian Kline was called to
Mr.. Goods farm Monday forenoon.
After examining the horses he realiz-
ed that with the injuries in such close
proximity to the hind legs it would be
hazardous work to attempt to stitch
the deep gashes aided by no better
facilities than existed Oh the farm.
At this juncture the patent stocks
for shooting horses maintained at Lo-
bach's blacksmith shop ON Northum-
berland street suggested themselves
and it was decided that the only prac-
ticable course left open was to bring
the horses into town and perform the
surgical operation with the aid of the
stocks.
Accordingly about 80 o'clock the
three crippled animals, heavily bl ank
eted were led into town and taken to

in all respects as if the animal was to

Instead of the blacksmith, however,
the veterinary surgeon was in charge,
while to the horse the process was al.

was in every way success. There is
no doubt but that the horses will re.

THE HOSPITAL
APPROPRIATION

There is a great deal of interest felt
by the people of this locality in the
act appropriating 1889, 300 to the hos
pital for the insane, which passed on
i is first reading last Thursday. The
air is full of conjecture as to what
notifications, if any, will be made on
the bill on further reading. Its final
passage in any shape means vast
amount of work at the hospital for the
insane in the very near future--prob-
ably next summer
The one feature of the bill, which
affects DanvilIe as a town is the ap-
preparation of $lS, 600 for the purpose
of providing additional means for the
disposal of sewage. The additional
means" is nothing less than the COLI
structing of sewer in the canal to
connect with the borough's sewer at
the aqueduct.
While it is true that before this
item becomes available the system and
plan will have to be approved by the
State board of health, yet as shown by
the report of the committee that visit
ed Harrisburg last week, Health Com
missioner DR.. Dixon was favorably
enough impressed with the proposition
to recommend the appropriation. as
far as it goes, and promised to send an
engineer here to look over the ground.
Should the canal be severed as pro-
posed it will not only abate the nuis-
ance now existing in the old water
way, but will give our town the bene-
fit of additional sewerage.
Each of the items of the appropria-
| tion is followed with a statement that
| the money is not to become available
until the plans and specifications are
approved by the governor. 1t is said
that the object of tying up the money
in this manner by the house approp1ia.
tions committee is to make it impossi-
BILE for those in charge to employ any
other style of building than that ap-
proved by the governor.
The bill making the appropriation
of 1889, 300 indicates that the recon-
mendations of Chairman Walton and
one of the noted alienists that the en-,
tire institution be torn down and re-
built along more approved lines has
not been adopted, even if seriously
considered. At the same time it is
made as plain as words can convey the
idea that those buildings that are tc
be erected will have to conform with
modern ideas as to the housing and care
of the insane
