MONTHLY MEETING
OF MINISTERIUM

Rev. L. Dow OFT, pastor OF Trinity
NJ. f. church, read very interesting
paper before the Danville ministerium
Monday morning, entitled The
Making and the Destroying of Man. "
The paper was philosophic in tone and
reflected a great deal of profound
thought on the part of the author. The
theme was q suggestive one and the
paper opened up wide field for dis
cussion Rather more than the usual
time was devoted to the interchange
OF opinion on the subject presented.

the Rev DR.. McCormaoh is president,

nUDDY ROADS
PREVAILING

The nearly continuous rains have
produced mud by the wholesale not
only on the country roads but also in
the streets of town.
At such times the residents of the
south side, where the side walks are
unpaved, have hard time of it There
is no opportunity to escape from the
mud. All about the station and on THE
street leading to the bridge the mud
lies deep and is sample OF what may
be seen nearly everywhere on the
sonth side. On the bridge approach
yesterday morning large portion Of
the sidewalk on the east side gave
way sliding own over the side Of the
steep einbankment, leaving yawning
ohasm. The place was filed up dur
ing the day.
The only difference between the
present and other seasons is that the
mud has made its appearance several
weeks earlier than usual. The frost
being all out of the ground, unless
freezing follows, it is not impossible
that the roads may soon begin to dry
off. 1t is to be feared, however, that
springlike conditions have arrived too
early to continue and that during
March the roads will be uniformly
bad.

TROUBLE LIVELY
FOR BOTH SIDES

1t is Just five weeks from the first of
April and the situation is that the
coal operators and the mine workers
are no nearer together today than they
were five months ago-in fact they sp-
pear to be more widely separated-and
the indications are becoming more ap-
parent of either bitter struggle be-
tween the contending forces or for a
most humiliating back down by one
or the other Of the contending sides.
Many of those in close touch with
the situation believe that the whole
thing is n corporation bluff and that
the leading mine workers and the
leading coal msgnates thoroughly un-
derstand their plans. but the whole
thing may get away from them and
there may be great clash, in fact the
greatest clash between capital and
labor that this region has ever seen.

ANNOY
POULTRY FANCIER

Charles M. Barnitz, the south side
poultry fanoier, who has charge OF the
poultry department OF the American
Press Association, is beginning to pay
the penalty for being famous.
Among his correspondence nearly
every day or so is letter from some
distant point inspired by something
which has appeared in his poultry col
umns The writers as a rule are quite
cranky and ask absurd questions con-
ceruiug poultry breeding. Some of the
missives are unsigned. The letters on
the whole might be very amusing if
they were not so numerous.
Among the letters are several from
the Pacific coast or the middle west
written by persons who knew Mr..
Barnitz in early life, but who had lost
all trace of him until they saw his
name as editor in the poultry columns
of one or the other of the innumer-
able publications of the United States
that patronize the American Press A

FLOOD WARNING
WAS SENT OUT

\ food warning foreshadowing
alarming conditions, sent out from
Harrisburg by Forecaster E. r. De
Main, Tuesday night, was posted up
in the post Office window yesterday
morning. 1t created considerable alarm
for awhile, especially among those
people who occupy portions of the
town subject to overflow. AS the day
wore away, however, it became appar-
ent that Danville was in no immediate
danger.
The forecast-issued on Tuesday
evening that the rainfall would
likely be heavy over the Susquehanna
valley during the following sc hours;
that there we're decided rises in all
streams of the Susquehanna system
ard that flood stages might be expect
ed on some. The north branch, on
which there was already quite food,
as the effect of additional rains, it was
expected would become very high.
As predicted the downpour of rain
was quite general over this section.
The frost having disappeared. the
ground drank up the water in enorm-
Gus quantities and neither Billiards.
run nor Mahoning creek rose high
enough to do any damage as is usual
with floods at this time Of year.
BY yesterday afternoon it was quite
evident that Danville had nothing to
fear from either of the above streams.
AS related to the river, however
things were not so certain. The water
yesterday morning stood at 1215 feet.
which was feet lower than the river
was on Washington's birthday. Dur
ing yesterday, however, it rose steadi-
ly and last night was approaching the
fourteen foot mark. II the rain proved
as general over the north branch val
ley as predicted we may have very
high water on the river during the
next twenty -four hours

No Decrease
IN PERCENTAGE

The school board held regular
meeting Monday night. The following
members were present. Pursel, Orth,
Barber, Swarts, Burns, Redding, Fish,
Fischer, Lloyd, Heiss and Cole.
Mr.. Fischer adverted to the rumor
current to the effect that under the
new form of monthly review adopted
there is a falling off in percentage at
tained by high school pupils, the re-
suit being that probably one-half Of
them will not pass the final test.
Borough Superintendent Dieffen-
baoher being called upon explained
that the rumor was wholly at variance
with the facts as reported to him by
High School Principal o. L. Bickel,
which showed that there is no falling
off in percentages, but that on the con-
trary, under the new order OF things
there is a decided Improvement aloug
all lines. Mr.. Dieffenbacher explained
that the same favorable report came
from the teachers in the grades.
On motion Of Mr.. Burns rubber tub.
ing and chemicals we're ordered pur-
chased for the laboratory
Mr.. Burns called attention to the
fact that there is a deficiency Of chairs
in the schools OF the borough, so that
visitors find very poor accommodation.
He said that each room ought to be
furnished with additional chairs.
On motion Of Mr.. Swarts it was ord
cred that two or more chairs be pur-
chased for each room, if needed.
The borough superintendent present
ed his report for the month ending
February Sth During the month 1857
pupils were registered. The average
total attendance for the month was
1879. The percentage of attendance
was 90. Number Of pupils who have
not attended IS per cent. Of the time
belonged was given as 81.
On motion OF Mr.. Fischer a vote of
thanks was extended 30 Thomas J.

sented TO the laboratory OF the high
school. a vote of thanks was also ex
tended to J. II. Cole, who furnished

Thieves
At DEW|TT'S PARK

DR.. Dewitt on visiting his park at
Riverside made a discovery, which
throws additional light on the stealing
of chickens, which up to week past
was carried on so extensively in this
locality.
On the night that Philip Pollock S
chickens were stolen Oliver Hoover, of
the south side bad q valuable horse
blanket carried off. The theft was at
once associated with the chicken
thieves, who, it was believed, found
Mr.. Hoover's fowls to difficult to get
at, and who rather than go away empty
handed stole the horse blanket. Sever
al places were searched for the blank
ct, as it was believed that it would
prove a clue to the chicken thieves.
DR.. Dewitt yesterday went to the
park to see whether any damage had
been done by the heavy rain. AT the
merry -go-round he found the rubber
blanket, used to cover the organ, miss
ing. On approaching the kitchen at
another part of the park he found the
door broken open. Inside he beheld a
curious sight.
Spread on the floor was his rubber
blanket along with horse blanket,
while nearby was pile of chicken
feathers and eight chicken heads.
1t did not take Dr. Dewitt long to
decide that the park kitchen had been
us ed by chicken thieves and that the
fowls killed were evidently those stol-
en- from Mr.. Pollock. who lives near
the park, as the number of chicken
heads found-eight-- --corresponded with
the number of chickens stolen at that
place.
DR.. Dewitt visited Mr. Pollock and
told him of the discovery. Mr.. Pollock
accompanied DR.. Dewitt back to the
park and identified the chicken heads
ami the feathers as belonging to his
chickens.
Later Mr.. Hoover identified the
horse blanket as the one stolen from
his place
In the park Kitchen the thief had
built fire and heated water for the
purpose of scslding the chickens so
that they could be picked more easily.
The blankets were used to lie upon
after the work was finished while
waiting for morning.

WORK FOR A
BOARD OF TRADE

There is general sentiment prevail
ing that Danville should have board
of trade holding regular meetings.
Such all organization existed in the
past and accomplished much good.
Danville has had no board of trade, or
at least no meetings have been held by
that body, for some five years past.
There is always plenty for board
of trade to do in the way of the pro-
lection and advancement of towns
business interest. IL the general con-
ditions are unfavorable for the build
ing up Of new industries as at present,
there are always industries already in
existence to be looked after and safe
guarded. 1t might be worth while to
know how much can be done by local
board of trade to modify conditions in
a town that prove adverse to one or
more of its industries, thereby enabl-
ing the concerns to continue in opera
tion and to prosper, whereas without
such assistance the same industries
might be obliged to close down or to
seek new locations.
Mr.. J. H. Goeser, formerly president
Of the board of trade, yesterday ex-
pressed regret that nothing is done by
the town TO indicate its attitude con-
corning the proposition to annex South
Danville and Riverside SO confidently
advanced by leading residents on the
south side a couple of weeks ago. He
sdverted to the fact that the present
tendency everywhere is toward con-
solidation and that. as we are situat-
ed greater Danville" above all
things is desirable. Not.a moment
should be lost, he said. in meeting
the residents Of the south side half
way and agreeing upon all the pre-
liminaries.
Had we board of trade such action
as necessary in the premises would no
doubt be taken without delay, and, un-
der proper guidance, annexation, in
stead of being permitted to die in the
bud would become reality.
1t is a we'll known fact that an
armory for the national guard, a proud
imposing building erected by the
State, is within reach of the town, IL
proper action be taken by its citizens.
Yet SO far as known 10 decided action
i; any at all-has been taken, snd
an srmory for Danville, which was
possible couple of years ago, is still
remotely in the future. 1t affords an
other instance in which a board of
trade could be of service to the town
by doing what the citizens at large
have neglected to do and doing it
promptly and at the right time.

GRIP KEEPS
PHYSICIANS BUSY

There is general prevalence Of grip
throughout the community, which is
keeping the doctors more or less busy.
None of the cases, although they bring
much discomfort and are apt to lay the
patient up for few days, prove very
serious in themselves. The trouble ia
that they may open the way for other
diseases, notably pneumonia, and thus
result seriously.
with the exception OF grip there
seems to be comparatively little sick
ness at present and the death rate is
abnormally low, considering the season
of the year.

newton Smith
REFLECTED

| Newton Smith was reelected super
intendent Of the light plant at reg
ular meeting of council Friday eve for
the ensuing year at a salary OF $75
per month.
When the subject of light was brought
up Mr.. Meyer moved that Mr.. Smith,
who has been in charge for couple
of years past, be reelected. AT the
instance of President Schatz Mr..
Smith was called upon to make GER
tain explanations relative TO the en-
ployment Of extra help for carbon
ing" the lights Mr.. Smith explained
that he is living up to his contract,
which places the operation and man
agement, of the light plant in his
hands and does not oblige him to car
bon the lamps, as he has quite enough
to do without it.
The explanation seemed satisfactory
aud the motion being seconded was
carried, Mr.. Smith being elected
unanimously at the former salary.
On motion of Mr.. Pursel it was ord
cred that the sweepings on Mill street
be sold to Mr.. LeDuc at 75 cents per
load during the coming gear.
On motion of Mr.. Pursel it was ord
cred that G. Fred Smith be granted
permission to install fish box in front
OF his oyster house on Mill street.
On motion of Mr.. Russell it was ord
cred that the Danville and Sunbury
Transit company be notified to replace
the rail used on East Market street
with six-inch rail as provided in the

days.
On motion of MI Russell it was ord
cred that the Danville and Sunbury
Transit company be requested to dis
continue leaving its car standing on
