RAILROAD MEN
PLANTING FLOWERS

The d. L. 81 W. railroad company
is preparing to beautify the ground
along its track between this city and
the hospital for the insane. Already
one large bed of flowers has been
planted and the ground sodded for
quite distance.
In whatever the D. l.. & W. railroad
company does it studies the artistic
effect. Its policy is to clean up and
beautify and it is not strange that
those in whose hands the improve
ments rest awoke to the possibilities
afforded by the landscape between the
borough line and the hospital.
Even the tool houses on the D. L. g.
W. railroad are artistic-in design as
we'll as color. The tool house along
the track about midway between the
borough and the hospital is no excep-
tion and it is made the setting for a
nice litsle piece of landscape garden
ing carried forward by section Fore
man Blizzard.
Immediately west of the tool house,
on the south side of the track is bed
of narcissuses, some forty feet in
length. The hardy flowers have al
ready burst through the ground and
are an inch or more in height. BY
Easter they will be in full bloom The
entire bank on that side of the track
is remodeled, forming low terrace,
all neatly sodded over.
Between the tool house and the
western end of the hospital ground
the strip of land, owned by the COM
pany, skirting the track, will be lev
eled down and sown with white Glow
er. Opposite the hospital ground the
strip of land belonging to the railroad
company will be neatly sodded. p
posite the gate house where the tr, in
stops, another large bed of naroissu es
will be planted and the bank tn, re
will be remodeled so as to product a
pleasing and picturesque effect.
The intention is to install flower
bed also at the station on the long
strip of ground between the track and
the new concrete walk leading from
the depot platform down to Church
street. The latter improvement, how
ever, may not be completed the pres
ent summer.

A Million on Pension Rolls

More pensioners died during the past
year than fought on either side at the
famous battle of Shiloh in 1862. This
was the statement made in the house
when the $3.50, 900, 600 general pension
bill was up for passage 1t was shown
that thousands had been stricken from
the nations roll by DEATH OF this
number 81, 20l were Civil war voter
ans. 1t WAS predicted that in nine
years Civil war veterans will bs as
scarce as are Mexican war veterans to-
day. The McCumber act. which pnts
the soldiers on the pension roll accord
ing to age, without examination, in
creased the annual pension roll over
$l5, 900, 900. In 1905 there were ,0O4, :
600 pensioners, the highest number
ever known, but the next year this
dwindled to 9S5, 900 and notwithstand-
ing the increase during the last year
on account of the McCumber bill, the
number went down to 967,371. This
number is now the smallest since 1898.

TO WIDEN west
MAHON|NC Street

Pursuant to the action of council at
the last meeting the committee on
streets and bridges is making a thor
ough investigation of conditions on
West Mahoning street.
The latter thoroughfare is the cause
Of general complaint, it being out of
grade, deficient in side walks and for a
square or so altogether too narrow to
accommodate traffic. 1t is the latter
defect. however, that presents the
most difficult problem
Mahoning creek, which at that point
forms curve, short distance below
Chestnut street has encroached upon
the street, cutting into the high en-
bankment, narrowing the roadway
some ten or fifteen feet. The street is
thus affected for distance of at least
square.
AT the last meeting petition was
presented to council, signed by fifty
four taxpayers and asking that needed
improvements be made. The matter
was referred to the committee ON
streets and bridges who were instruct
ed to make Investigations and report
st the next meeting of council.
The matter therefore will be sure to
come up at the meeting Friday night.
There is much curiosity among the
fifty-four petitioners to learn what
plan will be recommended if any, to
improve or widen the street.
1t is said that the Reading Iron com
pany is willing to restore the bank
where washed away by dumping Gin
ders on the spot. if the borough will
provide temporary trestling on
which to run the cars across the mead
ow and the creek to West Mahoning
street.

MISS McDERMOTT
CLAIMED BY DEATH

Miss Maggie McDermott, daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. John McDermott, who
reside near the fair ground, departed
this life at 2 As O'Clock Tuesday aft
ernoon following an illness of nearly
three years.
The deceased was "a years of age and
beside her parents, is survived by two
brothers. Thomas and Michael Nc
Dermott and four sisters, Mary, Alice,
Bridget and Nellie, the latter being
Mrs. Charles Barnhart.
About three years ago the deceased
was bitten by snake and she never
fully recovered from the effects. She
was bitten on the end of her finger by
copperhead snake one day during the
summer of 1905 while on the farm of
DR.. Paules.
She suffered very much from the
snake bite. The effects finally super
induced an attack of rheumatism, from
which she suffered for long time, the
latter disease finally becoming com
plicated with consumption.

TROLLEY CAR
IN NEW ROLE

a Danville and Bloomsbury trolley
car entered new role Tuesday. when
it went to the rescue of a heavy wag-
on that was mired at Paules' farm
and succeeded in pulling it out of the
rut.
The Hanover Brewery team was en-
ployed in hauling saw dust from
Blecher's saw mill into town. The
highway for some distance in the vic
Unity of Paules' farm is in very bad
condition, When the heavy brewery
wagon came bowling along it sunk in
up TO the hub. The horses did their
best, hut were unable to move the
wagon.
The case proved very trying one.
The faithful horses made effort after
effort, but the wagon remained as
though riveted to the earth. Mean
while, at least two hours passed and
driver and horses were losing patience
The trolley cars passed several times
while the wagon was mired, but they
were unable to render any effectual
aid. until, at sthe advice of General
Manager W. r. Miller, stout chain
was procured, which was attached to
the trolley car and fastened to the hub
of the wagon.
After the horses were unhitched and
taken out of the way the car was
started. It was interesting to see with
what ease the heavy wagon was pull
ed out of the deep rut by the power of
electricity. It was the work of only a
few seconds and the wagon stood high
and dry on the solid roadway. The
horses were hitohed up again and the
rest of the drive 20 town was made
without incident.

ELECTION FOR
1st LIEUTENANT

Captain F. NJ. Harrington has re-
oeived orders from regimental head
quarters to hold an election in Com
pany F, Twelfth regiment, N.
G. P, ito elect a first lieutenant to
succeed W. D. Holloway, whose resig-
nation was accepted few weeks ago.
Captain Harrington yesterday stated
that the election will take place on
the evening of April 9th at O'Clock.
There are no other vacancies and the
election will be held solely for the
purpose of electing frs. lieutenant.
Company F has plenty of good mat
erial for first lieutenant, but whether
the Office will be filled from the ranks
or by some one chosen from outside
the company can not be determined at
present. 1t is understood that one or
more young meu not in the company
at present have fair chance of being
elected. At I'll same time it is quite
