BUILDING THE
CONCRETE TUBE

The big storm or surface sewer at
the hospital for the insane being con
struoted by Hayes and Clark is well
under wav and in day or so will
have reached a point when work may
bsgin on the concrete ring or tube.
The sewer will be one thousand feet
in length, while the diameter Of the
concrete tube will be five and a half
feet. At the river, where excavation
il in progress, the sewer will lie some
fifteen feet below the surface. Dig
ging is il progress FOR some 800 feet.
For one-third OF this distance the
trench is sunk about twelve feet and
stout cribbing is installed
The ground is composed Of sand
gravel or clay and digging is easy
Down to a certain depth p!oughs and
scrapers are used to advantage The
greatest number Of men employed mp
TO the present has not exceeded a
dozen. As soon as the concrete work
gets under way the number OF hands
will be doubled

has charge Of the engineering work at
the hospital for the insane, was ON the
ground yesterday comforting with
HAYES and Clarke relative TO some ne
tails OF the work.
Everything is practically ready fol

HOLD UP AUTO
FOR THREE MILES

An example OF the perver-ity OF some
men was presented Sunday night when
an automobile party, coming up from
Northumberland, was compelled to
crawl along behind two hacks from
Chulaskey all the way into Danville
because the hackmen refused to allow
the car enough room in the road to
mass. Another hack behind the auto
was also held up in the same manner.
The road in question is narrow, but
there are a number Of places where a
passing could have easily been made.
The driver of the car states that the
hacks were handled so as to prevent
him from passing When the process
sion arrived in Danville and the road
wfdenei and the hackmen could no
longer prevent the auto from passing
the hack drivers mookingly thanked
the driver for the light his lamps had
furnished.
There is an old law which covers
such cases as that of Sunday night,
and it has been invoked on several oc-
casions in this State recently. Ii pro-
vides penalty of $50 for person VINO
refuses to give half the road to allow
a faster vehicle to pass.

AUTOISTS SHOULD
HEED WARNING

The extent to which the automobil.
lists passing through town violate the
law both in respect to the speed limit
and the sounding of proper signals is
little short of scandal to our citi.
zens. The worst feature OF the case Is
that the offenders in large number OF
cases are residents Of town.
The chiet-of-p police yesterday said
that unpleasant as will be the duty he
shall be obliged TO make arrests. There
is not an autoist but understands his
duties in the matter OF sounding his
horn. They have been admonished, the
officer says. OF their neglect in this
direction as well as in the practice of
exceeding the speed limit.
Judging from the Indifference and
recklessness shown BY many OF these
autoists one would fancy that the
safety OF pedestrian is q matter that
gives them 20 concern, that according
to their view it is every pedestrian 5
duty TO scamper when an automobile
heavsS in sight. \ few thoughtful
autoists condescend to give foot peo-
pie proper warning Of their approach
but, sad to relate, the larger number
leave pedestrians to find this out the
best way that they can.
Unless the rules and regulations are
more generally observed some one will
surely be injured : In'such al event
the reckless autoist may rest assured
that he will.be held to strict ac.
counting and will be obliged to pay a
penalty for criminal recklessness

FRUIT THIEVES
OUT IN FORCE

The stealing Of truit has already be-
come the cause OF much complaint
about town. The offenders are boys
and the pilterius at this season is
mainly limited to cherries, the OILY
fruit that is ripe.
The constant trespassiug OF the boys
who leave gates open, break down
fences and mutilate trees, is very all
noying TO say nothing Of the loss OF
the cherries No variety Of fruit seems
immune from the greedy grasp of the
trespassers, who are just a, likely to
strip an spple or plum tree as a
cherry tree, although the fruit Of the
former be cnly half developed aud
grass green.
In most cases the boys are very bold
and rely upon escaping punishment
even If they are caught. As a result
names are very easy to obtain. 4
batch ot offenders was reported to the
chief Of police yesterday. What success
he will have in rounding up the fruit
thieves remains to be seen.
Unless arrests are made and sum
mary punishment dealt ont the steal
ing Of fruit will likely prove al an
noyance all summer. Tie boys should
be taught by rigid example that in
vading man : premises and despoil-
ing a tree Of its fruit constitutes au
otfsnse that can not be condoned. The
policy OF c,emency in dealing with
the fruit thieves, even though they be
boys, is hardly wise one, as II Will
be pretty sure to lead to general dis
regard of the law and the individual
who as boy breaks down fences and
pilfers fruit as a man will be likely to
stoop to grosser crimes ard experience
