SLIGHT FIRE ON
MONTOUR ROW

An alarm of fire broke the monotony
Tuesday afternoon. A chimney OF
one of the houses ON Mon tour row be-
longing to the Reading Iron company
took fire, slightly damaging the dwell
ing.
Both the Continental and the Good
will hose companies were on the
ground. The former, however, was
the only one that had stream of wat
er ON the fire.
The flames had not made much head
way when they were discovered. Pend
ing the arrival of the firemen hole
was chopped into the roof, through
which water was poured by bucket
brigade. The fiIemen chopped another
hole into the end of the house near the
chimney, after which they had no
difficulty in extinguishing the flames.
Repairs will be needed where the
firemen were obliged to use their axes.
Beyond this, however, but little dam
age was done to the building.
The dwelling was occupied by Will
liam Slessler. The household goods
were nearly all removed during the
fire.

BOY BURNED TO
DEATH IN BARN

Rocci Culdansti, aged 5 years, the
son of Fred Culdanati, Of Exchange,
Northumberland county, went into his
fathers barn at eight O'Clock yester-
day morning to look for eggs. He
lighted match, which set fire to the
straw and the flames spread with in
credible rapidity, until the whole build
ing was afire and his escape was cut
off. His father tried to rescue him,
but failed after being severely burned.
A bucket brigade was formed and put
out the blaze. The charred remains of
the child were carried out in a bag.
When they were seen by his mother
she became crazed with grief and
tried to hang herself to tree with
clothesline She was restrained with
difficulty. Many firemen were badly
burned in attempting to enter the barn
and save the boy

DEATH OF JOHN
J. ARMSTRONG

John ]. Armstrong, former resi-
dent Of this city and brother in law of
DR.. Harry NJ. Sober, Mill street, de-
parted this life at his home in West
Pittston, at o'clock Monday morn
ing after brief illness of pneumonia.
The relatives in this city did not
know that Mr.. Armstrong was i'll and
the news of his death was quite a
shock. The deceased was about 40
years of age. His wife was formerly
Miss Margaret Sober of this city. Mrs.
Armstrong survives along with a son
and daughter, Paul and Edith.
The deceased was located in this
city for six years as the manager of
the Grand Union Tea company. Some
fifteen years ago he left Dsnville for
West Pittston his native place where
in subsequent years he conducted in
surance and real estate business Early
in life Mr. Armstrong was newspap-
er man and held an editorial position
the "Pittston Gazette.
The deceased was a persever ing, in
dustrious man and is very Affection
ately remembered by those of our
citizens who knew him when he lived
in Danville.

STATE HIGHWAY
ON SOUTH SIDE

Gearhart township and Riverside
borough are cooperating in an effort
TO secure mile of State highway on
the sunbury road, leading from the
river bridge to point near the build
ings on John Mowrey's farm.
Neither Gearhart nor Rush town.
ship has as yet had the benefit of State
Aid in road construction, for the rea-
son that they delayed making applica-
tion. In the present instance all for
mality in the matter of applications
has been complied with and the petit
tioners feel confident that the road
will be granted.
There is, however, very strong
sentiment against the road on the
south side, and one of the residents
opposing the road is authority for
the statement that weighty remon-
STRANGE will be filed, which he be-
lieves will make the construction of
the State highway impossible.
Those who object take the view that
the money spent on the State high
way had better be expended on the
country roads, elsewhere which are in
notoriously bad condition. 1t is
their belief that if the Sunbury road
is reconstructed all effort will be ex-
pended on that piece of road and that
the outlay will be so great that there
will be no money left for the other
roads which are much worse than the
road figuring in the application.
On the other hand those in favor of
the State highway claim that the re-
construction of the road as planned is
thoroughly in line with progress, as
it will add, as it were. another link
to the chain Of paved streets and
State highway on the Danville side of
the river. They will not admit that
any of the other roads will be neglect
ed but declare THAT the construction
OF the State highway will be the first
step toward general improvement of
the roads that will take in every part
of the township:

LONG TRAIN
OF EMPTY CARS

An object lesson at South Danville
might have been observed yesterday.
which reveals the unique conditions
that relate to the railroads at present.
About the hour of noon long train
of empty cars, eighty nine in number,
passed up over the line to the yards at
Honeypot, where the idle cars are
being stored away until needed. The
long train was drawn by two engines
coupled together. With few exceptions
the cars were Of steel, equipped with
modern devices. The sight was a nov
ell one.
The conductor without attempting
to account for conditions stated that
Notwithstanding the apparent revival
in many lines of business the railroads
are doing comparatively little ship
ping. Especially is this true of coal.
In contradistinction to conditions
that prevailed less than a year ago
when business was handicapped by a
shortage of cars, all over the system
today the sidings are blocked with
empty cars. To keep pace with the
growing demands incidental to con-
tinued prosperity the railroads for
years added daily to their rolling stock.
As long as traffic was brisk the cars
were scattered over the system and
did not make much of an impression.
AS soon as the wheels stopped running
the congestion occurred. The enormous
excess of cars is revelation to most
people.
The same conductor stated that on
Tuesday he took train of 10 en-
pties off the Shamokin sidings, which
was the largest number of cars that he
ever hauled in one train. There are
eighteen tracks at Honeypot and the
orders are to fill up the yard at that
place, where the empty cars will be
convenient when neede6 Iater on

SUCKERS CAUGHT
IN LARGE NUrIBERS

Enormous quantities of suckers have
been taken from the North Branch and
tributary streams during the last few
weeks.
1t is not known to many people that
suckers, which are much despised lat-
er in the season, just now while the
water is cold are really great del
icacy and are much sought for. A few
are being caught in the river below
town, but the most of them are caught
in the streams that flow into the riv-
er
Fishing creek is the favorite fishing
ground for suckers. No sooner did the
ice leave than the fishermen with rod
and line appeared on the shores. While
the snow banks still fingered among
the trees men and boys could be seen
in the sunny spots angling for suck
ers. The sight proved novel one to
passengers on the trolley, especially
when the fishermen,were accompanied
by long string of fish, none much
less than foot in length. Several fine
strings of suckers have come to DAN
vile that were caught in Fishing
Greek.

REGULAR Meeting
Of school BOARD

The school board at regular meet
ing Monday night went on record as op-
posing the refunding of money to
townships that has been paid to the
Danville school district as tuition for
non resident pupils in the high school
in cases where pupils drop out of
school before the completion of the
school term.
The action followed as the result of
communication received from NAH
oning township requesting that tut
tion be refunded in the case of a young
lady from that district who during
the month of January decided to leave
the high school. It was the sense of
the board that inasmuch as the Dan
vile school district at the opening of
the term is obliged to assume the cost
of books and supplies it can not justly
be asked to refund money whenever a
pupil for one cause or another decides
to drop out of school. 1t would be es-
tablisning bad precedent and the dis
triot might open way that in time
would lead to considerable loss.
On motion it was ordered that the
request to refund the money for tut
tion be refused.
Mr.. Fischer reported that the umbrel
la racks ordered bv the school board
last month have been completed by
George Riefsnyder and are ready for
delivery. On motion of MIR. Heiss It
was ordered that Mr.. Reifsnyder be
requested to haul the umbrella racks
to the first ward school building. where
they will receive coat of paint.
Mr.. Fisher reported that the work
of changing the doors of the school
buildings so as to cause them to open
cutwardly is not yet completed but is
progressing nicely.
On motion of Mr.. Heiss it was ord
cred that the waterpipes in the school
building on Welsh hill be repaired,
which were reported as having been
out of order for some weeks past.
Mr.. Heiss reported that necessary re-
pairs have been made on the roof of
the fourth ward school building.
The following bills were approved
for payment:
