PAPER Being
CIRCULATED

Pursuant TO the action of council at
its last meeting wherein it was decid-
ed to proceed with the paving of East
Market street paper for signers was
put in circulation among the property
owners yesterday.
The terms for paving are wholly
different from what was submitted to
the property owners on Mill street,
who paid not only for the curbing, &c :,
but also for fixed portion of the paw
ing On East Market street the prop
erty owners are required to pay for
the curbing aud the sidewalk changes
only, which reduces the cost to min
imum. Naturally the general plan
meets with approval all along tn e
street, those who held out against paw
ing when the matter was agitated be-
fore now being among the most en-
thusiastic supporters of the PROPOSE
tion.
The agreement to which the prop
erty owners are asked to subscribe is
very full and carefully worded, protect
ing alike the borough and the owners
of properly in the various ways in
which error and misunderstanding is
likely to occur. 1t reads as follows:
In consideration that the borough
of Danville, grades, payes and mac
adamizes in such proportion as may
then be determined on East Market
street III the borough of Danville.
We, the undersigned, respectively
owners of real estate and property ad-
joining and abutting on said portion
of said street do each for ourselves,
our respective heirs, executors, admin
strators and assigns hereby covenant
and agree with the said borough of
Danville as follows:
/. That we will pay for all curbing
in front of our respective properties
that may be done by or for the said
borough in the making of the said i'm
provement; 2, That we will at out
own proper cost and expense, widen
elevate or depress and reconstruct as
circumstance may require the pave
ments in front of our respective prop
critics or that we will pay the said
borough for doing the same immedi
ately upon the completion of the said
work 3. that we will in all other re-
spects conform to and comply with all
conditions and requirements found
necessary in the making of said i'm
provements and a. that we will and
that we 90 each hereby waive any and
all of our respective rights and claims
to damages that may be sustained by
US or by our respective properties by
reason Of or resulting from the MAX
ing of the said improvements in the
premises

TREES ALONG
THE HIGHWAYS

A drive over the country roads de.
monstrates the fact that farmers are
not familiar with the act of assembly
of 1879.
This act provides: Persons planting
trees ON road side to be allowed credit
on road tax.
Any person liable to road tax, who
shall transplant to the side of the pub
lie highway, on his own premises. any
fruit, shade trees or forest trees, of
suitable size shall be allowed by the
supervisor Of roads where roads run
through or adjoin cultivated fields in
abatement of his road tax one dollar
for every four trees set in; but no row
of elms shall be placed nearer than
seventy feet, no row Of naples or 9TH
er forest trees nearer than fifty feet,
except locust, which may be set thirty
feet apart; and no allowance as before
mentioned, shall be made unless such
trees have been set out the year prev
ious for the demand of such abatement
Of tax, aud are living and we'll protect
ed from animals at the time of such
demand
If any such trees shall die the same
may be replaced under the above con-
ditions and the same amount will be
allowed.
The amount of credit for planting
of trees is limited to 90 per cent of
the whole amount of the road tax.
This is subject that should receive
the attention of every farmer not only
throughout Montour county, but
throughout the Commonwealth.
1t is matter of pleasure for all per-
sons who have occasion to use our pub
lie highways and to the farmers who
take advantage of the law it is also a
source of profit

The SOLDIERS
MONUMENT

The soldiers monumens committee,
although seemingly inert, has by no
means been asleep while the trustees
of Grove church and the committee of
council have been exerting themselves
to secure the legal abandonment of the
old cemetery and TO bring about the
establishments of city park on its
site.
The activity and the success of the
trustees and the borough council have
proven a valuable object lesson reveal
ing to the soldiers monument commit
tee how much may be accomplished by
we'll directed and preserving effort as
we'll as the fact that the people Of Dan
vile are not deficient in civic pride,
but will respond to an appeal when it
is clearly indicated that the credit and
the welfare of the town are at stake,
The chairman of the soldiers monu-
ment committee on Saturday stated
that in his opinion the time is now
ripe for dealing the final stroke in the
work of raising the money needed. AS
is we'll known large amount of
money has been subscribed for the
soldiers monument, while general
canvass of the town has scarcely more
than begun.
The public park, WHICH is now an
assured success, he agreed was the
logical site for soldiers monument.
Indeed, in view of its long history as
place of sepulture the park would
hardly be complete without memori-
al of this or some other kind.
The idea of erecting a monument to
the soldier dead in the park is bound
to prove popular; more than this, it
will assist in bringing all classes in
full harmony with theborough's act OF
taking over the old cemetery.
Just how much will be accomplish.
ed or how speedily results will follow
remains to be seen, but the chairman
of the committee Saturday stated that
he would make an effort to get the
solicitors, who already have been ap-
pointed, down to work at once. Let us
hope that such an effort will be made
to accomplish the object as was never
put forth before and that by the time
the borough council has park estab-
lished on the site of the cemetery, the
soldiers monument committee will
come forward with handsome monu-
ment as a further ornament to the
spot.

The leaves on many Of the trees about
town have begun to wither and die.
On Mill street this evident loss of
vitality is attributed by some to the
brick paving and the sidewalks, which
cover the roots of the trees cutting off
moisture and possibly air. This is
probably not wholly.the cause. as the
same condition is noted at several
places on streets that are not paved,
the leaves of the trees there presenting
the appearance of early fall. 1t has
been a noticeable fact this summer
that the trees nowhere about town
present the thrifty and healthy appear
ance of other years. 1t might be in
teresting to know.the exact cause
Three of the shade trees at the Dan
Vile National bank have gone into a
decline, the leaves at the top and at
the end of the limbs dying. In order
to arrest the progress of the blight
each of the trees was closely trimmed
yesterday. The leaves that remain
have fresh and healthy appearance,
but whether the trimming will have
the desired effect of preserving the
trees remains to be seen.

WELL KNOWN
BRAKEMAN KILLED

Francis Longenberger, member of
the P. & r. switch crew, lost his life
Thursday as the result of falling un-
der the cars while at work in the yards
at this place.
The accident occurred between s and
8 O'Clock. The switch engine was
shifting cars ON the track leading to
the Structural Tubing works. AT a
point short distance north of Boy
er's coal yard, Mr.. Longenberger at
tempted to step from the tender of the
locomotive to the empty gondola next
to it. He made misstep and fell on
the track, one of the wheels of the
front truck passing over his left leg
just above the ankle. Notwithstand-
ing the terrible injury inflicted the
man was self-possessed enough to
throw his body into a new position
and quickly withdraw his leg before
the second wheel of the truck passed
over it. By this cool-headed act he
probably prevented his foot from be.
ing severed, although as the sequel
shows he had sustained fatal injury.
The injury was the usual shocking
sort produced when a Car wheel runs
over human limb. The bones were
broken into fragments or crushed,
while the flesh on one side of the limb
was lacerated and the fragments of
bones protruded.
The injured man was carried into
! the home of his uncle, Joseph Longen-
berger, Walnut street. where DR.. Pat
ten was called, who later on was join
ed by DR.. Walter Boyer.
There was not the remotest suspic-
ion that the man was fatally injured.
1t was even thought by the physicians
after examining the injury that am
putation might not be necessary. al.
though it was admitted that the pos
sibility of saving the leg was remote.
The injured man was placed Oh
board the switch engine and, accom-.
panied by Joseph Longenberger and
DR.. Boyer, was taken to his home al
Catawissa. 1t was decided to take hin
to hospital for treatment and at noon
! he was placed on the p. & r. passeng
er train for the purpose of removing
him to the Miners hospital at Ashland
He was then seemingly strong and in
good spirits.
Arriving at East Mshauoy Junction,
however, he showed signs of weakness
and in few minutes he expired. Hi.
death caused the greatest surprise anG
can be accounted for only ON the theory
that he sustained internal injury.
Francis Longenberger was tifty-si'
years of age. He had been on the rail
road nearly all his life. For man,
years he was employed on the switch
er at this city. He leaves a wife anC
several children, the latter grown up
He was man of excellent habits ant
was held in the highest esteem by hi
fellow workmen and the company EN-
ploying him.

The law enacted by the last general
assembly causes some important
changes in the legislation relating to
the registration of births and deaths.
Previously undertakers in Obtaining
and filing the certificate of death were
obliged to visit justice of the peace
or other officer to take the necessary
oath, which not only occupied good
deal of time but entailed some eX-
pense. Act 135 authorizes local reg
istrars and their deputies to administ.
