Old Home Week at Boston.

Chief Burgess Rogers Tuesday re-
ceived a communication from John F.
Fitzgerald, Mayor of Boston, convey.
ing the information that during the
week of July 2S-August 3rd next Bos-
ton is to have grand old home week
celebration and reunion, which all
former residents of that city living in
Danville are invited to attend.
For the entertainment of its guests
Boston is preparing an elaborate pro-
gram of receptions, parades, reunions,
illuminations and other literary, his
torical and carnival features. These
diversified attractions, together with
the low excursion rate granted by the
railroads, it is believed, will bring a
large crowd of home-comers and 9th.

Smashed Up Household Effects

James Daley, an iron worker, who
was arrested Sunday morning at the
instance of his wife charged with as
sault and battery was given hearing
Monday and, in default of $500 bail,
was committed to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury.
Chief -of-Police Mincemoyer was
summoned to the home of the defend
ant on Laurel street, early Sunday
morning. The house looked as though
a cyclone had struck it. The furni-
ture was smashed, the dishes were
broken, thu clocks were demolished
and even the pictures were torn from
the walls and ruined. According to
Mrs. Daley her husband had caused
all the havoc and at her instance the
man was taken to jail.
Monday morning, on information
lodged by his wife, Daley was ar
raigned before Justice of the Peace
Oglesby. The charge brought against
him was assault and battery.
According to the evidence of the
wife the defendant became angry at
her and fiinging his pipe at her struck
her on the wrist. After this things
grew warmer in the household and
wound up with the husband making a
grand assault on the household effects.
AS intimated above he made clean
job of it and broke up pretty nearly
everything he could lay his hands on.
The justice held the defendant for
court in $500 bail, which he was un-
able to procure and accordingly was
remanded to Jail.

DanvIIIe Has MOSQUITO Farm.

The marshy ground along the river
bank and in and near the old canal
forms veritable mosquito farm, where
breed millions of all kinds of bugs, I"
especially that pestiferous variety, the
mosquitos
The warm weather of the past few
days has made them particularly ac-
tive and early each morning these
places may be seen to be literally
swarming. Over some of the willow
trees they formed cloud that re-
sembled a thick maze. The dank
growth of weeds in the Shiny soil
forms an ideal location for mosquito
farm, and, from the kind that have
already visited us, we can almost be-
lieve that delegation of the New
Jersey variety have taken up summer
quarters at this place.

BOY DROWNED
IN THE RIVER

Fred Mills, the ten-yealold son Of
Charles Mills. Riverside, was drown
ed in the Susquehanns rivr Thursday
afternoon at point near the south
side silk mill.
The terrible catastrophe occurred
while the lad was swimming with
several other boys. He evidently be.
came exhausted while in water beyond
his depth and sank before his plight
was discovered.
1t was shortly before two O'Clock
when Fred Mills. his elder brother,
Walter and George Unger we're swim.
ming below the Riverside silk mill al
point just opposite the creek
mouth. There were several hundred
feet from shore, where the river is
deep and full of holes. In swimming
about the boys found that they were
beyond their depths, and becoming
slightly alarmed, they turned and
started for shore, Walter Mills and

When Walter and the Unger boy
got to place where they could touch
bottom they turned to look for Fred.
They saw him in the rear short dis
tance, standing as if on a rock that
he had found in the river, and appear
ing to be resting before the final swim
for shore
Walter Mills and Unger then once
more started for shore, and when next
they looked around, Fred was not in
sight The boys were greatly alarm
ed and the loud cries of Walter, of
Save my brother" brought Eugene
Snyder, who threw off his clothes
swan out to where the lad had disap-
peared, but could find no trace of him.
Other persons had by this time be.
gun to arrive. and soon a big crowd
had gathered by the river bank. Many
willing hands were lent in the search
for the drowned lad In all, there
were about 90 boats rowi ing backward
and forward across the river, but the
efforts were of no avail. Late into that
night the anxious searchers drug the
river but the body was not found and
it is feared that it had been washed
down the river.
Fred Mills was bright little fell
low. He was regular attendant al
the Riverside school during the past
winter. In the mornings he carried
the Philadelphia papers on the soutI
side.

Weather Hard on Iron Workers

The warm weather, owing to the
humidity and nearly motionless
atmosphere, lis peculiarly oppressive
in the rolling mills, where the warm
air, rendered still hotter by the furn-
aces and the red hot iron, becomes
positively sitting.
This is especially true at the big
mill, this city. where number of the
men during the last few days have
been unable to work a full shift aud
thise who put in full time were al
most exhausted when relieved by a
frosh force of men All are hoDing
for change of weather accompanied
by breeze, which will put the air in
the mill in circulation.
A peculiar feature Of the warm spell
is that in many places the heat ha;
hastened death and sickness, coming a:
it did on the top of conditions of al.
most winter-like weather. Eleven
persons are dead and many Frustrated
as direct or indirect result of the
warm weather in Pittsburg.

A Rad Road Was Rebuilt.

The public road leading from the
blacksmith shop in Washingtonville to
the DeLong farm, which for the past
several years has been in condition
hardly fit for use, and even at times
dangerous and almost impossible, mas
been reconstructed. The job was done
thoroughly An excavation was made
in the center of the road and the earth
thus provided was piled along the out
er edges. The mile of the roadway
was then filled with crushed limestone
to depth of from I6 TO 90 tuciIes
The supervisors have taken a step in
the right direction in repairing this
road in so substantial and satisfactory
a manner.

Barn Strnck by Lightning.

The heavy shower Saturday evening
gave the ground much needed soak
ing, settling the dust and resfreshing
the vegetation, which in some places
was beginning to droop under the hot
sun
The shower was accompanied by
binding flashes of lightning and heavy
thunder. A tree was struck in the low
er part of town, but no actual damage
was done in Danville.
In Greenwood township, Columbia
county, a barn 40 by 10 feet, belonging
to William Cadman. was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground.
Mr.. Cadman was at work in the
field The sky was overcast with
clouds more or less portentous, but a
shower such as might do damage, did
not seem imminent. There was fash
of lightning accompanied simultane-
ously with thunder, but Mr. Cadman
did not attach much Importance to it
until some time later. when, looking
up, he discovered that the barn was on
fire.
He hastened to the burning building,
where he succeeded in rescuing his
three horses, although they had actu-
ally been in the fire and had been
badly scorched. The farming imple-
ments were burned along with the
barn.
1t was rather late when several
neighbors arrived, but bucket brigade
was formed and by dint of persever.
ing labor the dwelling and wagon shed
were saved, but not until both of the
buildings had been on fire.
The loss sustained is $4,000, partial
ly covered by insurance.
On the farm Of Joseph Greasy al
Willow Springs two cows while graz
ing in the field were struck by lightn
ing and killed.
The heavy rain caused some della.
on the Danville and Bloomsbury elec
trio railway. An armature on one o
the cars was knocked out by the lightn
ing. While an extensive washout a
Deemer's held up the cars for SOM
time.

GET ADVANCE

The recent act of congress authoriz-
ing general advance in salaries for
all post Office employees has had it's
effect upon the stipends of the attaches
of the local office.
After the act had been passed the
local employees we're recommended for
advances and the recommendation was
approved by the post office department
as follows:
All of the city carriers receive an
advance of $50 per year to take effect
on July 1st; the city carriers will al
so get another advance of 800 to take
effect on July 1st, 1908. When these
advances take erect all of the Dan
Vile carriers will be receiving the
maximum of $1,000 per year. The
clerical force at the local post Office
will also receive substantial advances,
ranging from $50 to 800 per year on
the 1st of July
STAMPED ENVELOPES RAISED
A notice has been posted in the cor
ridor of the Danville post office an
nouncing raise in the price of stamp
ed envelopes, the raise to take effect
on July lst.
The list shows an increase of four
cents thousand for thirty-fve styles
of stamped envelopes, including all
one, four and five cent varieties. The
ordinary two-cent envelope now cost
ing S2l. 12 will cost S2l.l6
No reason for the advance accom-
panies the order, but it is believed
that the increased price of paper is re-
sponsible, as the department aims to
make no profit upon the envelopes
This is the first time that prices have
been raised for many years.
