POLICE ARE
MAKING ARRESTS

There is hardly anyone who would
fail to see the necessity and the just
ice Of adopting certain rules and regu-
lations to preserve good order and pro-
tcet life andEproperty in municipal
ity such as DanyiIle. Yet it is surpris-
ing how many persons, in the main
good citizens, take certain Liberties
when upon the streets, which violate
the borough ordinances, The police
have become aware that this spirit is
growing and they have resolved that
it must be checked.
Monday they started out determin-
ed to make an example OF few offend
ers and see whether by so doing they
could not inspire little more respect
for borough authority.
The first fellow who paid the penalty
folly of fighting on Sunday. He was
taken into custody by officer Voris,
who hailed him before Justice Oglesby
where he paid the fine and costs in
such cases made and provided.
The police are now after the persons
who ride their bicycles on the side
walks, which is a nuisance of the first
magnitude and has caused great deal
of complaint about town. a word to
the wise should be sufficient in this
relation, especially as the police mean
business and the borough ordinance
imposes fine Of five dollars on every
person who propels or operates bicy-
eel, or other conveyance propelled by
foot on any pavement or sidewalk with.
in the limits Of the borough of Dan
Vile.
Incidentally. it might be mentioned
that there is also five dollar fine for
operating a bicycle at a greater speed
than ten miles an hour in the borough
of Danville; also a fine Of five dollars
for operating a bicycle or like vehicle
without a signal or alarm bell, which
is to be sounded whenever the rider
approaches a person standing or walk
ing on any of the public streets or al
leys The same fine is imposed for
omitting to carry light after dusk
and in the night time.
The playing of bali upon the streets,
which not only exposes the boys ill.,
duIging in the game to danger of he
ing run down hut which also makes it
unpleasant FOR pedestrians on the
streets, il another practice That is un-
der the ban. The borough ordinance
provides fine OF two dollars for play
ing ball upon the street. Tie ball
players will do we'll to remember that
the police are after them.

ST. JOSEPH'S PICNIC
THE LARGEST

st. Joseph's Catholic church held
its annual outing at DeWitt's park on
Saturday. A large number of persons
outside the congregation were present
and the attendance was larger than
that of any other picnic held at the
park this summer.
Practically all the hacks Of town
were pressed into service and they
were kept busy from early in the fore.
noon until late at night. The best Of
order prevailed and there were no ac-
cidents to mar the occasion.
There was a good game of base ball,
in addition to which dancing and 9TH
er sports we're in full swing. Dancing
seemed to be the most popular amuse-
ment and there were few intervals,
indeed from the opening of the picnic
until the close when the pavilion was
not occupied. The music was furnish
ed by Miles orchestra.
The game of base ball between the
White Horse team, of this city, and
the Locust Gap team, was one of the
most interesting features of the pic
mic.
The game was pitchers battle,
with McCloud of Dauville having the
best of the argument, although o.
Harmon, Of Locust Gap, also did fine
work. The Locust Gap team have a
reputation of being heavy hitters and
the fact that McCloud was able to puz-
zle them shows he has lost none OF his
old time CleveTness,
There were but four hits in the
game, evenly divided between the two
teams. while of the fifty.six men who
faced the pitchers box. % were retir-
ed on three strikes. During the entire
game not one man walked.

pany in Northumberland shortly be-
fore nine O'Clock Saturday morning.
The telephone line from the Northu IN

of the Middle Greek company had been
put out Of commission by lightning Oh

land exchange he accidently touched a
high tension wire of the Edison COM
pany which was strung on the pole
with the telephone wires. The cur.
rent was grounded through him, and
possibly rendered him unconscious.
Eye witnesses state that he hung mo-
tionless for few minutes, suspended
in the air by the wires on the pole.
Then his body slipped from the sup
porting wires and dropped to the pave
ment. His skull was crushed when he
struck on his head upon the stones,
and death was instantaneous.
The deceased was aged about 20 years
and is survived by a wife and child.
