ENGINE AND
CAR DERA|LED

A freight locomotive and one car
were derailed at South DanviIIe yes-
terday forenoon. The accident was not
a serious. one, in itself, but it threw
several important trains off schedule.
The derailment occurred about s 40
O'Clock a short distance above the pump
ing station. A west bound freight
was pulling on the siding to let the 8
O'Clock passenger train pass.
The brakeman was in the act of
throwing the switch but before he
could insert the paddock the lever flew
back, out of his hands, which left the
switch in such position as to cause
derailment. Only the engine and the
front truck of the car left the track.
Fortunately the wreck train of this
division, which is also the work train.
was employed at Bluff only a few
miles above. This train, carrying with
it tho steam crane, in reponse to a call
ran down to South Danville. Cutting
the cars loose from the derailed por-
tion the work engine, hitched at the
rear OF the train, drew the freight cars
back to Boyds station where they
were placed out of way on the siding.
The track at South Danville, how
ever, was effectively blocked by the
derailed engine and car. To take care
of the passenger traffic special train
was sent up from Sunbury and trans
fer was made at the scene OF the ac-
cident. In view of unavoidable delay,
soon after the derailment occurred, the
passengers waiting at the station act
ing on advice were driven across to the
ID. l.. q ". station, where they caught
the 8 10 west bound passenger train
and were enabled to make connections
at Sunbury.
The Sunbury wreck train was also
called to South Danville, but its SER
vices were not needed. The steam
crane belonging to the work train
managed to get both the engine and
car back upon the track without much
difficulty. By 10 80 O'Clock the track
was open
The locomotive was not damaged
any and backing to- Boyd's station
picked up its train after which it pro-
ceeded on its way. The track was
slightly damaged.

Mr.. Simon Ellenbogen and Miss

popular young people OF Danville. were
united in the holy bonds of matrimony
in Philadelphia on Monday.
Information available relating to the
happy event is very meagre. The tend

Cured was the very thing looked for.
When Miss Lovett went TO Philadel

later by Mr. Ellenbogen, knowing ones
predicted wedding.
\ letter received yesterday by a
brother Of the groom explained that
the wedding had taken place and that
the couple would come back to Dam
Vile TO live. The letter unfortunately
neglected to state where and by whom
the nuptial knot was tied.
The groom is an intelligent young
business man of industrious habits,
who is associated with his brother,
Harry Ellenbogen, in the merchant
tailoring business.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs.
Hannah Lovett, Church street, and is
a most highly esteemed and popular

A special session of court was held
Saturday morning, at which some very
important action was taken relating
to the third trial of Peter Dietrich,
which is expected to take place at the
May term.
The court made an order directing
that Peter Dietrich, who has been

can be employed in connection with
no other case. The SO names already
drawn are Jurors in court of COM
mon pleas and can not be used in a

that the construction of the bridge at

WILL BE BUILT
IN THE BOROUGH

The State hospital for the insane has

the deposit of muck. which has great
fertilizing property, from the bottom
of the old canal on the hospital ground
preparatory to filling up the old water
way No definite time as yet has been
set for beginning the work Of obliteI-
ating the old canal bed
The opening up Of the old ditch has
had the effect of draining off the foul
and stagnant water, which at the hos
pital as we'll as any where else is a
nuisance and a menace to the public
health. BY the time the old canal is
obiterated that improvement, in con-
nection with the fine macadam road
leading to the hospital will make the
spot one of the most attractive about
the institution.
1t is not generally known that the
site of the block OF houses for en-
ployes, bids for which have been ad-
vertised for, is to be located at this
part of the grounds. AS matter of
fact the buildings are to be within
the limits of the borough Of Danville
in order to give the employees that oc-
cupy them superior school advantages.
The block of buildings will be erected
on the south side of the trolley track
as near as possible to the borough with
out leaving the hospital grounds.
The block will contain six dwell
ings. 1t will be three stories in height,
stylish architecturally, built of the
same material as the buildings now in
course of erection at the hospital.
Each dwelling will contain nine rooms
with bath and all the modern appoint
ments. The front door of each will
open upon a stylish veranda and the
dwellings will resemble block on a
city street. The buildings will be com
pleted yet during the present summer.
Chief among the employees who will
occupy them will be the electrician
and engineer of the hospital.
