WHERE COASTING
Is DANGEROUS

In addition to skating on the river
and ponds several or the hills about
town prior to last evening afforded the
very best OF coasting so that the boys
and girls by no means have been with
out enjoyment during the holiday
vacation.
One of the very best coasting grounds
in the borough is found on Spruce
street. The sleds start on the lower
side Of the p. Il r. railroad and run
all the way down to Mahoning creek,
crossing Mill steet.
1t is true there is an element of dan
ger in this and the police are given
much concern lest some of the coasters
collide with teams passing ON Mill
street.
The occupants of the sleds. absorbed
in their sport, forget to keep look
out to see whether the coast is clear.
but, often head foremost, dash down
upon Mill street, escaping passing
vehicles by the narrowest margin.
The appearance Of the coasters as they
dart down from Spruce street is so
sudden that it is impossible for a
driver on Mill street to stop his horse
in time for them to pass except when
driving very slowly.
The police after witnessing several
narrow escapes yesterday came to the
conclusion that ooasting should be
stopped on Spruce street. They had a
talk with number of the residents
thereabout, the most of whom had
children among the cooasters, but the
latter minimized the danger and beg.
ged of the officers that they would not
interfere, depriving the children of
their sport.

CEILING DAMAGED
IN COURT ROOM

The ceiling in the court room, which
for a year or SO past has shown the
need of repairs, has gone to the bad
very rapidly during the last month or
so and at one place w.thin the bar the
plastering has broken loose and threat
ems to drop upon the floor.
Ityhas been quite customary thing
for grand juries during the year past
to recommend repairs on the ceiling
In the court room. While the frescoing
was discolored by water that had leak
ed through from the roof and present
ed an unsightly appearance at places
is was not known that the ceiling was
unsafe until Monday morning.
Judge Evans in person notified the
county commissioners of the true con-
ditions and thinks the matter should
receive attention Immediately. He ex-
pressed the opinion that should any
one be injured by the plsstering fall
ing the county would be liable.
The county commissioners evidently
have problem on their hands. If they
begin to make repairs they will un-
doubtedly discover that the whole cell
ing will have to be removed, while the
short interval between the present and
the next term of court would not just
ify them in entering upon such whole.
sale repairs.

TELEGRAM FROM
THE RED CROSS

The loss of life in the great earth
quake in Italy hourly becomes more
appalling. The latest estimates place
the number of dead above 100, 600,
which makes the tragedy one of tile
greatest that has ever befallen the
Christian world
Already relief movements have been
started in this country. In Pennsyl-
vania subscriptions are being received
by the Red Gross society at Philadel-
phia.
Chief Burgess w. J. Rogers yester-
day received telegram from the
Pennsylvania Red Gross in relation to
the matter. 1t reads as follows:
Express sympathy through local
newspapers to citizens of Italian sffil-
iation and start local fund for the Red
Gross relief for Sicily earthquake and
tidal wave sufferers.
Joseph A. Steinmetz, SEQ y" )"
Upon receipt of the telegram Bur
CESS Rogers at once proceeded to COM
ply with the requests. Each of our
three banks, the Danville National
bank, the First National bank aud
Peoples bank, at once agreed to re-
cieve contributions for the relief of
the earthquake sufferers.
Thus all charitably disposed persons
will have an opport atty of doing
what they can t|/ JI1eve suffering and
of doing it q" vRIy. The money con-
tributed to the relief fund will be reg
ularly forwarded to the State Red
Cross at Philadelphia, by which in
tuIn it will be handed over to the Ma
tional Red Gross, when it Will speedily
tind its way to the Red Cross in Italy.
The money will be wisely disbursed.
When the San Francisco earthquak @
occurrelN I Danville's contribution to
the relief fund was over Sl2C0.
Dsnville has very few citizens OF
Italian affiliation" but those who
reside hereabout. some OF whom have
relatives in the devastated sections of
Italy, may rest assured that they have
the sympathy of warm hearted and
generous American public.
