TYPHOID FEVER
is PREVALENT

Typhoid fever seems to be prevalent
in some parts of town. Typhoid had
practically disappeared from Danville
and the outbreak, even though slight,
is much to be regretted.
! The numerous cases reported dur.
ing several weeks past have been the
cause of good of deal comment To
what extent the disease prevails it will
probably be difficult to determine un.
til the last of the month, when the
local registrar makes his report to the
bureau of vital statistics. There seems
little doubt, however, that there are
dozen or fifteen cases all told.
a leading physician last evening
volunteered the information that he
has six cases of typhoid fever in addi-
tion to one or more that he believes
will develop the disease. He regards
the situation with some concern, Civ.
ing it as his opinion that the outbreak
has been caused by the river water,
which of late'has presented an appear.
ance anything but reassuring.

A WORki1AN'S
BAD ACCIDENT

William Longenberger, "A carpenter
employed on the farm of Hon, r. S.
zimmerman, near Rushtown, met with
a very bad and singular accident Mon.
day afternoon.
Mr.. zimmerman is building sum
mer Kitchen. Mr.. Longenberger who
was standing on one of the joists Of
the new building was in the act Of
stepping around fellow workman.
when he lost bis balance and fell into
the lower story, where another car
penter was working.
The man below was driving nails
and it happened that at the very mo-
ment that Mr.. Longenberger fell he
was raising his hatchet to strike a
blow. Mr Longenberger falling with
terrible momentum met the upward
stroke of the keen edged hatchet. which
sank into his face across the bridge OF
the nose, completely severing the bony
portion of that organ and iptiicting a
deep cash on each cheek alongside the
nose.
A horse was hitched up and Mr..
Longenberger was brought over to
town Immediately. The loss Of blood
was little less than appalling but the
injured man very pluckily bore up
under the ordeal OF the long drive.
He was taken to the Office of DR..
Shultz. where a number Of stitches
were inserted in his face reuniting
the severed parts. AT later hour the
man was removed to his home on Mas
sau street He will be incapacitated
for work for long time.

LEAK UNDER
THE PAVING

The water pipe has sprung leak
under the paving on Mill street, which
may lead to considerable expense and
necessitate tearing up the brickwork
over large area.
Under any circumstances leak un-
derneath the paving is a rather serious
affair, as below the brick lies heavy
course of concrete, while the brick
themselves are grouted. The result is
that the whole nass-the concrete and
the grouted BRICKS as solid as a rock
and can only be removed to repair a
leak by breaking it up with a sledge
or using drill.
In the present case the difficulty is
increased owing TO the fact that the
leak can not be located. Tuesday
morning the discovery was made that
the pipe somewhere under the paving
had sprung leak and that the water
was running into the deep sewer on
the west side of Mill street about half
a square south of the D. L. & W.
crossing.
The trick was to locate the leak
Superintendent P. J. Keefer got on
the Job and by testing the hydrants
along the street discovered that the
break occurred in the water pipe com
municating with J. F. Tooley's est
ablishment.
This information brought it down
on narrower compass but it only half
solved the problem, as there was still
no telling whereabouts under some
seventy-tive square yards Of solid paw
ing the leak might lie.
Superintendent Keefer Tuesday be-
gan tearing up the pavement. No one
can tell where the work will stop.
They will of course continue TO dig
until the right spot is reached. Mean.
while large section of fine paving
NAV be spoiled.

And numerous others of like quality.

ODD FELLOWS PLAN
TO RAISE DEB 1
PHIT.ADELPHIA Pa

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 20
The plans of Grand Master Hart, Of
Harrisburg. in regard to the temple
of the order in this city, and the
Boyertown relief fund distribution
were the principal questions discussed
at Soday session of the Grand Lodge
of Pennsylvania Odd Fellows in con-
vention here.
The Indebtedness on the temple
amounts to more than 81 600, 600, which
includes arrearages in taxes and
ground rent of s279, O4O. To pay this,
it is proposed to increase the per cap
ita tax of Sl.o4 annually, which would
yield $40, 900 year.
To pay off the Indebtedness will take
eight years, according to Mr. Hart S
estimate. The James D. Thompson be.
quest of sl2O, 600 for the construction
OF new home for orphans will soon
be available, and the disposition of
this money also came up for considera-
tion today.

INSPECTION Takes
IN HOSPITAL

Professor Elton D. Walker OF State
college, who visited this city Fri
day as the representative of Health
Commissioner DR.. Dixon, remained in
Danville during the greater part Of the
day Saturday, carrying TO completion
the work of investigating conditions
that relate to sewage.
The inspection was most thorough,
while in its scope it embraced every
department of the towns activities.
Not single detail escaped the in
spector. On Saturday forenoon in COM
pany with Superintendent of Sewers
p. J. Keefer, Street Commissioner E.
S. Miller and Councilman James P.
Connolley he took in the slaughter
houses, breweries. the Reading Iron
works, the store works, the silk mills,
knitting mill and in fact every sort of
industry as we'll as the school houses.
Before leaving. Professor Walker
dropped remark, which seemed to
explain the purpose of his visit to
Oanville He gave the committee dis
tinctly to understand that the day was
near at hand when every municipality
in the State would be obliged to re-
move its sewers from the rivers and
streams and dispose of its sewage by
some other means. This order may
not be issued for several years, it is
just as likely, however, he said, to
come within a year.
The above explanation was hardly
required in the premises, as the man
ner of his inspection and the nature Of
his inquiries at every industrial plant
plainly showed that the expert was
there to determine just how great a
factor the establishment is in river
pollution. Not only did he determine
aud record the dimensions and the
location of the sewer used, but also
the water supply, the number Of hands
employed and the source of and the
amount of water used.
Mahoning creek did not escape his
attention. In inspecting the Reading
Iron works he directed his investiga-
tion along line that would show
whether or not the plant is factor in
polluting the creek. On the north side
of West Mahoning street the expert
climbed down over the bank at the
rear of the dwellings that, sewer di-
rectly into Mahoning creek TO deter
mine to what extent they pollute the
stream.
During his visit Professor Walker
visited Hunters park and the hospit-
al for the insane. At each Of these
places his inspection was just as
thorough as in the borough. AT the
hospital he even visited the piggery.
Before leaving the institution he took
careful note of the manner in which
the stream flowing down at the west
of the grounds pollutes the bed Of the
old canal
Professor Walker impressed the
committee and all others with whom
he was brought in contact as a person
thoroughly equipped with expert
knowledge. While at all times courte-
Gus he was not disposed to talk very
much about the result of his inspec-
tion. Whether what he saw impress.
ed him favorably or otherwise he in.
dulged in no comment, but merely
made note of conditions and passed
on.

council accepts
new PARK

Borough SOllCltOF 4. .. 1earlart
appeared before council to explain
some matters pertaining to the acquir-
ing of a title to the new park on Bloom
street. He spoke very highly of the
liberality and the magnanimity Of the
board of trustees of the Grove Presby-
terian church. He urged that as soon
as the deed is passed the committee
proceed to complete the park, at least
that portion of it where the grading is
not vet completed. On the score Of
finances, he declared they need give
no concern, as he is in possession Of
information which leaves no doubt
that the mono.. VII be forthcoming
when needed.
The following resolution relating to
the affair was offered by Mr.. Everhart
and unanimously adopted by council:
Whereas the Mahoning Presbyter-
ian, English, Congregation North has
offered and agreed to donate and con-
vey certain lot of land in the Fourth
ward formerly known as the Presby
terian cemetery and containing one
and eight-tenths acres of land for a
public park; therefore be it
Resolved, That the borough coun Gil
by proper deed Of conveyance at once
accept the said donation and convey
ance of the said lot of land for the
purpose aforesaid upon such terms and
conditions as may be fully agreed up
on by the trustees of the Mahoning
Presbyterian, English, Congregation
North and the town council of the
said borough of Danville.
On motion it was decided that a
joint meeting OF the trustees and the
borough council be held in council
chamber, Monday night, for the pur-
pose of executing the deed.
Mr.. Pursel reported that a crossing
is needed at the property of Webster
Foust, on West Market street. The
matter was referred to the committee
on streets and bridges.
Mr.. Pursel also called attention to
conditions at the property of HeIster
Foust. corner of Mill and East Front
streets, where, it was reported, the
water overflows the pavement when
ever it rains This matter also was
referred to the committee on streets
and bridges.
On motion of Mr.. Pursel it was ord
cred that an iron pipe be sunk il an
alley on Cherry street.
The borough is considering the pur-
chase Of street sweeper. G. E. Chap.
pelear, of the Williams @. S. Co.,
agents of the Austin-W Co., ,
Ltd, appeared before council in the
interest of street sweeper, which, it
was said, would do the work very sat
isfactorily. The matter was discussed
at length. On motion of Mr.. Meyer it
was decided to postpone the purchase
of a street sweeper for two weeks and
to make an effort meanwhile to deter
mine what the street can be cleaned
for by contract.
On motion of Mr.. Russell it was
ordered that an arc light be placed at
the corner of Market and Wall streets
also that an arc light be placed on the
river bank near the corner of Front
and Water streets The arc light at
the lower end of the Ark lot, West
Market street, will be slightly changed
by readjustment of the arm.
