court ON
SATURDAY LAST

A session of court was held Saturday
morning with his Honor Judge Evans
and Associates Blee ana Weliiver on
the bench. There was very little work
on hand, wholly of routine order.
J Thomas @. Welsh, Esq. was appoint
auditor by the court to examine the
accounts and dockets of the prothonot-
arv, register and recorder and clerks
/ of the several courts of the county of
Montour and to make report according
to law.
! The bond of Clark Heimbach, adj
ministrator Of David Heimbach, late
of Cooper township, Montour county,
: deceased, in the sum of 5000, was APP
proved by the court.
/ S. B. Flick rendered his resignation
as supervisor of West Hemlock town
ship. The court took no action on the
resignation, but will dispose of the
matter between the present and next
! Saturday, when court will convene for
argument.
a petition signed by thirty-fve
citizens was presented to court asking
! for review in vacating the public
road near Oscar Craik's i'll Anthony
/ township. Viewers appointed in such
behalf at a previous term of court re-
! ported that pursuant to order they had
| viewed the road above described and
were of the opinion that it had be-
come useless, ,inconvenient and burden
some and that it ought to be vacated.
/ 1t was the contention Of the petit
! tioners that said road has not become
"useless, inconvenient and burden
! some, " but that on the contrary the
! vacation of the road would be inJur
ious and prejudlcial to the petitioners
as we'll as to the interests and welfare
of the public in general, especially to
! the inhabitants of Anthony township.
! The petitioners, therefore, prayed the
court to appoint proper persons to re-
view the said road.
Reviewers were accordingly APP
pointed by the court, consisting of
Norman Brofee, Jeremiah Vought and
Madison Vought.
The road which at present is the
subject of so much controversy leads
from WashingtonviIle TO Muncy near
line of lands of estate of John Watson,
deceased, and Oscar Craig to the pub
lie road from Hurley's school house on
, Muncy road to the cross roads school

SEVEN NEW
DWELLINGS

As an evidence that Danville has
| life and energy and intends TO forge
ahead the fact might be stated that
| there will be more building in Dan
Vile during next summer than for
many years past. Seven fine modern
dwellings are an assured fact, in ad-
diton to which several other build
ings are under consideration and may
be built during the coming season.
The most Important accession OF
new buildings will no doubt be em-
braced in two blocks of dwellings con-
templated by J. W. Philips on West
| Mahoning street occupying the large
tract formerly used as the lawn tennis
ground.
What invests these buildings with a
peculiar interest is the fact that they
are 70 be instructed of concrete. Thus
far no one in Danville has ventured to
experiment. with the use of concrete
farther than the building of cellar
walls. Concrete, however, has stood
the test admirably and at many other
places it is used exclusively in the
walls of the buildings. Mr.. Philips has
confidence in concrete an believes
that in the construction of his new
buildings it can be employed more
cheaply than either wood, brick or
a., HN Inf +0 hn nnpnnip6 =
deposit of the best sand in this section
which can be used to an excellent ad-
vantage in the manufacture of the
concrete and which will assist in keep
ing down the cost of the buildings.
The proposed buildings will COM
prise two blocks, or four dwellings
In height the houses will embrace two
stories and an attic and each will con-
tain seven rooms They will be modern
in every respect, containing bath and
being heated by furnace in the cellar
They are designed to fill want in
Danville and will rent for fifteen dol
lars per month or possibly less.
David and Thomas Evans. members
of the firm OF I. l.. Evans Sons, will
each build a fine residence The site
to be occupied is on the east side of
Ferry street between the stone works
and the canal where the barn belong
ing to T. L. Evans Sons at present
stands
The houses will be built side by
side. They will be stylish wooden
structures with all the modern ap-
pointlnents, and Will be constructed
during next summer.
w. J. Rogers, who bought the Lest
er property at the north east corner OF
Bloom and Pine streets, will aslo build
a fine residence on the spot next sum

for sale and will be removed. The
| new building that will occupy the site
will be of frame with beautiful YER
anda in front. The plans are not yet
completed, but the dwelling will be a
model of beauty and convenience as
we'll as an ornament of that part Of
the town
In South Danville w r. Clark will

SHORT SESSION
Of council

The last regular meeting OF our bor-
ough fathers for the present council
manic year Friday proved very
short one. There was nothing urgent
pending and what business might have
been drummed up it did not seem ad-
visable to tackle last night owing TO
the fact that the committees to which
matters might be referred will un-
dergo changes before the next regular
meeting.
The chairman called over the list Of
committees, but in each instance the
response was to the effect that there
was nothing on hand There were only
two absentees, the members being pre-
sent as follows: Gibson, Vastine, Boy
er, Sweisfort, Dietz. Jacobs, Russell,
Angle. Woodside and Fisenhart.
Borough Treasurer Harry Ellenbog-
en- presented a statement of finances to
date which showed total cash bal
ance on hand of SS036 Sc.
Borough Electrician Newton Smith
presented statement of the cost of
operating the borough light plant dur
ing the month of February. Sixty -one
tons of coal at g 80 per ton were CON
sumed during the month. amounting
to $l52. 90. The total cost of operating
the plant during February was S215.-

270 hours and 80 minutes.

sion of forty five minutes.

BADLY INJURED

William Russell, an employe of the

day afternoon and sustained injuries
which may result in permanently dis
abling his left arm even if amputation
is not necessary.
Mr.. Russell is a fireman at the
structural tubing works. When the
rolls are on. which brings the large
engine into play. the demands on the
steam supply are heavier than at 9th
er times The fremen make it point
to know whether or not the big engine
is on and they regulate the fires ac-
cordlngly.
About three O'Clock Tuesday after
the rolls were running or not, Mr..
Russell stepped through the narrow
passageway between the two sets of
boilers for the purpose of seeking a
point where the rolling department
was in view. At the rear of the boil
ers is pulley wheel about five feet in
diameter on level with the ground,
which operates the saw and is always
running at high rate of speed, prob
ably at nearly thousand revolutions

There is a declivity in the ground
at that point and to accommodate peo-
| pie who have to walk there two planks
are laid side BY side, some three feet
from the rapidly revolving wheel, AS
| Mr.. Russell was passing, one of the
planks tilted beneath his foot, which
caused him to fall right into the
wheel AS he stumbled and felt him
self falling he instinctively threw out
| his left arm to save himself.
The result was that his arm was
struck by the sharp rim of the rapidly
revolving wheel, which operating like
saw, quick as flash, cut into the
palm of the hand. .severiug the two out
side fingers and, ploughing its way up

MI Russell was alone at the time.
Holding his injured arm by the right
hand he made his way to the front of
the boilers, where he received assist

man. The terrible injury soon had an
effect on the man and he became help
| less.
Fortunately the Adams express wag
on, at this juncture came along and
| Horace Bennett, the driver, kindly
consented to haul the injured man to
his home at the corner of Church and
| Walnut streets.
The injured man was accompanied
by several fellow employees of the
structural tubing works, by whom he
was carried into his home. A hurry
call had been sent out for physicians
and in response Dr. R. S. Patten, DR..
E. A. Curry aud Dr. W r. Paules in
a short time arrived.
The injuries upon examination were
found to be of a very serious nature.
Along with the little finger and the
| one next to it the man loses nearly
| half the palm of his hand. The wrist
| is dislocated \ short distance above
the wrist there is compound fracture
of the forearm, while at the elbow
there is very bad comminuted fract-
ure. 1t is very much feared that, even
if the arm should be saved, the joints
at the elbow and wrist will be stiff.
