Marriage.

A game of chance in which che
chances are about even. The man
leads at first, but after leaving the al
tar he usually follows breathlessly in
his wife's trail. The rules are very
confusing. If a masked player holds
you up some night at the end of a long
gun, it is called robbery, and entities
you to telephone the police, but If your
wife holds you up for a much larger
amount the next morning at the end of
a long hug, it is termed diplomacy, and
counts in her favor. In this, as in
other games of life, wives are usually
allowed more privileges than other
outlaws.-Judge.

Loss through tuUeTSu'os's'
Based on the census OF 1900, 1t Is
estimated by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis that nearly 100000 children
now in school will die of tuberculosis
before they are IS years of age, or
that about 6.400 die annually from
this disease. Estimating that on an
average each child who dies of tuber-
culosis has had six years Of schooling,
the aggregate loss to the country in
wasted education each year amounts
to $1,152, 600. According to investiga-
tons made in New York, Boston and
Stockholm, the percentage Of children
who are afflicted with tuberculosis Is
much larger than the death rate would
indicate.

DIED FROM ACCIDENT

John f. Williams, well-known
former resident of Danville, yesterday
died at the Fountain Springs hospital,
near Ashland, where he was undergo
ing treatment for injuries sustained
in a fall.
The deceased, who was aged about
II years, was a native of Wales. He
emigrated to this country when a
young man, spending the greater part
of his subsequent life in Danville. For
many years he conducted store on
Ferry street between Spruce and Hem
lock streets. Prior to that he conduct
ed a store on East Market street near
Chruch street. He was a good citizen
and fair-dealing, honest man.
He resided in this city occupying
the homestead on Ferry street until
about two months ago, when he remov-
ed to Ashland to take up his residence
with his son. Soon after leaving Dan
vile he fell from a trolley car and
sustained fracture of his hip. For
some years he had been in feeble health
and the effects of the serious accident
seemed to aggravate his other ills and
his condition soon became critical. He
was removed to the hospital only re-
Gently.
The deceased was twice married, his
last wife departing this life about
eight years ago. The son James living
at Ashland is the sole survivor
The body will be brought to Dan
Vile for interment. The son of the de-
ceased will arrive at Danville today
to make arrangements for the funeral.

WILL BUILD
RETAINING WALL

Our readers will be gratified to learn
that the board of county commission
ers has decided to build retaining
wall to protect the plot of ground along
the river just west of the northern
abutment of the bridge, which is own
ed jointly by Montour and Northum-
berland counties. Before the improve
ment can go forward, however, the
borough council will have to take
similar action and decide to extend
the retaining wall at the water works
eastward so as to embrace a fourteen
foot plot belonging to the borough
which adjoins the inter county tract.
At a meeting the county commits
sioners Saturday took preliminary ac-
ton in the matter. Following next
Saturdays meeting they will advertise
for bids. During the present week the
commissioners will take measurements
and secure what other data may be
necessary. Allowing for advertising,
etc, bids can not be received until
September 3rd.
The commissioners are aware that
the county's expenditures for the pres
ent year are already considerable, but
they explain that they do not see how
they can postpone the building of the
retaining wall any longer. For years
past each grand jury has recommend
ed the building of the wall and an
opinion from the president judge states
that should an accident occur at the
spot the county would uDquestionably
be liable for damages. The decilvity
at the foot of the principal street in
the town is as unsightly as it is dang
erous. The commissioners do not de-
sire to pose as holding up a needed
improvement and they have come to
the conclusion that the wall should be
built and the spot filed up immedi-
ately no matter at what cost.
The spirit shown is a most COM
mendable one, and now that such a
fine opportunity presents itself to Sc
cure an improvement badly needed in
the borough it is not probable that
council will do anything to disCour-
age or delay the work but will at once
cooperate with the commissioners and
prepare to build the borough's share
of the retaining wall.
BY proceeding with the wall as soon
as possible it is believed that the
ground excavated on East Market
street between Mill and Pine streets,
should paving go forward there in a
month or so, can be utilized in filling
up the decilvity where the retaining
wall is to be built

AN IMPORTANT
RESOLUTION

Agreeably to rumors current it does
not seem unlikely that the two squares
on East Market street between Mill
and Pine streets may be paved in con-
, nection with the Improvement now on
foot. Action taken by the borough
council at its regular meeting Friday
night leaves no doubt as to what ac-
tion it contemplates in the premises.
A resolution was passed looking to
the enactment Of an ordinance provid-
ing that all of East Market street from
the eastern building line of Mill street
to the eastern building line of Pine
street, distance of 710 feet and 6
inches, be graded and paved with
vitrified paving brick and curbed with
stone and for the assessment of the
costs and expenses thereof upon the
abutting properties according to law.
The resolution provided that the bor
ough council hold a meeting on August
18th for the purpose of hearing objec
tions from anyone to the proposition
to pave and curb the above specified
part of East Market street and then
and there also to consider the prop
riety and expediency of the enactment
of an ordinance providing for such
grading, paving, curbing, assessment
of costs, &C., according to law, and at
which time and place all persons may
attend and be heard.
Borough Electrician Newton Smith
presented his report for the month of
July, which showed that sthe cost of
operating the plant was $3.50. 80. The
plant was in operation 273 hours.
a communication was received from
the Danville & Sunbury Transit COM
pany enclosing a bill for s.. so, the
amount due the trolley company, it
was claimed, for Labor, material and
detention of cars, four hours, July IS,
1910, by tree falling ON trolley wire.
The mishap occurred while the large
paradise tree in front of the dwelling
of Robert CathcaIt, East Market street,
was being removed by George Gard
ner. On motion payment of the bill
was refused.
The following members were pres
ent: Cleaver, Everhart, Marshall, Fin
nigan, Connolley, Curry, Price and
lies.
On motion it was ordered that the
borough enter into contract with the
Reading Coal company for all the coal
needed at the water works during the
balance of the year at the price of
So % per ton. The hauling will add
another % cents per ton TO the cost of
the coal.
On motion of Mr. lies it was order
ed that the hose houses of the borough
be connected with the public sewer.
Mr. Marshall reported that the
Structural Tubing company and the
Danville Foundry and Machine com
pany are still firm in their refusal to
lower the switch on East Market
street, which leaves that point about
nine inches above the grade furnished
by the borough surveyor. On motion
of Mr.. Connolley it was ordered that
in dealing with the matter the boI-
ough stand by the grade given by the
borough surveyor.
The second quarterly appropriation
to the fire department, now due, was
on motion of Mr.. lies ordered paid.
Mr.. Marshall reported now that the

ing Objectionable where it empties in

matter be attended to.
