MARKET STREET
EXTENSION

The grade and other data ralating to
the macadam on the extension of East
Market street furnished by the bor-
ough surveyor yesterday was deliver
ed into the hands of A. S. Clay, eng
ineer of the State highway depart
ment, by whom they were at once for
warded to Harrisburg.
The borough, which several months
Market street extension with State
aid, has complied with all the official
formality required and the reconstruc-
tlon of the street is now squarely up
to the State highway department. Ev-
cry effort is being made to induce the
State to act promptly so that the i'm
provement may be completed this fall.
The macadam will embrace the Sec
tion between Foust street at the east
ern end of the borough and the piece
of macadam at the hospital completed
couple of years ago. 1t is now gen.
orally accepted as fact that the sec
tion, embracing some four squares,
between Cook S court and Foust street,
will not be reconstructed this year
Neither is it probable that extensive
repairs will be put upon it,as it seems
to be the intention to make applica-
tion for paving next year.
The completion of the paving on the
two squares between Pine and Cedar
streets, now thrown open to travel, is
a splendid object lesson, revealing not
only what transformation has been
wrought, but also with what facility
obstacles are overcome and the i'm
provement brought about. The spirit
of enterprise is contagious, and it is
not likely that the residents of the
upper end of East Market street i'll
such an essential improvement as paw
ing are going to be more than a year
behind those at the lower end.
1t now seems to be tacitly under
stood that in addition to paving the
two squares between Mill and Pine
streets a short section on West Market
street will be paved. While the paving
on the two aforementioned squares,
east of Mill street, will be done with
out application, the section west will
be paved with the property owners
consent The latter section Will extend
only as far as the rear of the property
of the Danville National bank. On the
south side the court house ground
ahuts on the street. All formality Will
be complied with as speedily rs possi-
BILE so that the paving on the west
side of Mill street can be done coincid-
ent with the reconstruction OF the two
squares east.

THREE PROPERTY
OWNERS OBJECT

Friday,night, which was a regular
meeting night of the borough council,
was the date fixed for hearing obiec-
tions to the paving of East Market
street between Mill and Pine streets.
1t transpired, however, that the hear
ing of objections" did not occupy
very much of the councilmen's S time.
No one appeared in person TO offer
any objection to paving. The secre-
tary read two communications from
property owners, who do not favor the
proposed Improvement One was sign
ed by +. @. Derr, Martha b. Derr and
Annie E. Bowyer, EXr,. who stated
that they object to the paving of East
Market street adjacent TO their prop
critics at their expense. The other com
munication was from Miss Hattie E.
Simington, who formally objected to
the paving of East Market street in
front of her property.
On motion it was ordered that the
two above communications be laid ON
the table.

HORSE THIEVES
TO THE FORE

A valuable horse belonging to H. N.
Boyer, the well-known daiIyman, along
with buggy, was stolen while tied
ON the street, Saturday night. The
horse and vehicle were later recover
ed.
On Saturday evening Mr. Boyer
drove into Danville and about $3.50
O'Clock tied his horse at Coles Hard
ware establishment ON Lower Mul-
berry street When he returned to the
spot, about 10 O'Clock, the horse and
buggy were not to lie found. His first
impression was that some one friendly
to him, who had an errand to per-
form, had taken the liberty of using
his horse and carriage and in a few
minutes would return. He waited half
an hour, but there was no sign of
horse or buggy. Still it hardly dawn
ed upon the man that he was the vic
tim of horse thieves. He rather inclin-
ed to the view that the horse had got
ten loose and run home.

CUT WITH AN AXE

A small child belonging to Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Albeck, East Market street,
met with a bad accident Saturday
evening.
Mr. Albeck was cutting wood. He
was not aware that the child was near.
As he swung his axe backward to de-
liver a heavy blow the child ran in the
way of the tool and a corner of the
sharp blade struck it just below the
lower lip, causing short though deep
cash.
Dr. HinshiIlwood was called, who
was obliged to stitch the wound.

Friends of Albert Miricle, of Ber-
wick, thinks he is entitled to a Car
negie medal. Yesterday stranger ap-
preached him and asked him the near
est way to the river, declaring he was
tired of life and intended committing

You're ON the nearest way, and if

dead was Miricle's reply. The

that Miricle resented, and the latter
thrashed all idea of suicide out of the
strangers head.

HORSE RECOVERED

Sunday afternoon Mr.. Boyer
learned that driverless horse and
buggy had appeared at the farm of NJ.
+. Cook, Cooper township. He pro-
ceeded at once to Mr.. Cooks. whose
farm is situated about four miles from
Danyille, and readily identified the
horse and buggy as the one stolen in
Danville. When Mr.. Cook arose yes
terday morning he found the horse,
very much fatigued, standing at his
barn. He reported the circumstance
and it was not long until the news
reached Mr.. Boyer.
The horse was driven up hill and
down hill as fast as he could travel.
At B. l.. Diehl's the carriage turned
the corner and went back toward the
ridge. The fast driving caused good
deal of comment all along the line.
Between and 10 o'clock the horse and
buggy were heard to pass Cooks farm.
How much further they were taken
before they were abandoned is not
known. Their course was traced at
least three.fouIths of mile further
on over narrow and rocky roads
Whether it was drunken caper on
the part of some one or the horse fell
into the hands of real thieves, who be-
came alarmed and turned it loose, can
not be determined. At all events Mr..
Boyer was fortunate to recover his
horse.

WHOOPING COUGH
Mr. Everhart called attention of
council to the fact that whooping
cough is alarmingly prevalent in Dan
Vile; also that the board of health up
to the present has taken no cognizance
of the outbreak. He deplored that no
action in the premises has been taken
and thought it was high time that the
board of health took hand. He re-
ferred to the Act of May II, 1909,
which supersedes the borough ordin-
ance and is most drastic and sweep
ing in its provisions relating to whoop-
ing cough.
The following members were pres
ent CleaveI, Price, Finnigan, Ever
hart, Jones, Marshall, Curry, Helm
and Hes.
The following bills were approved
for payment:

THIEF GAINS TIME

He hired horse and carriage at ia
livery stable and, with a couple of
other members of his family who had
accompanied him. drove to his home
in Valley township. The horse was
not there; neither did he discover any
evidence of runaway on the road.
By this time he became fully con.
vinced that some one had removed his
horse and buggy with evil designs.
Early yesterday morning he drove in
to town with the hired horse and
vehicle and entered upon a deligent
search. He visited nearly every part
of the borough and was at all the liv-
cry stables, where he thought the horse
might have been placed after being
driven about town by drunken or IT.

he obtained was from Bernard Shev-

Fifteen Miles RUN
PROMISING WELL
ALL THE STAR RUNNERS
WILL COMPETE IN EVENT
Several New Men Have Been I'm.
earthed in Country Districts
Tsukamoto Will Tackle All
Corners.

Things are looking bright for the
fifteen-mile running race which is to
be held on Monday. May 80. and
Judging from the fact that a num-
Der OF well-known peds have sign,-
fed their intention Of entering for
the race. there should be fas; AMI
furious run for the first prize.
Nigel Jackson Is getting the event
up, and he is, as usual, working with
great enthusiasm over the race. The
decision that the affair be open to
all runners in the Territory is a good
one. and Il assures the success OF the
event. With Antoine Kaoo. Frank
Scharsch. Tsukamoto. Comes, jack
son, Enos, Hayes and several other
runners competing, slashing finish
should result. Then the newly-dis.
covered long-distance man from Ho-
nomu, Hawaii, Is to be taken into
as reported, the better-known men
Will have 10 make good time In order
to defeat the man from the Big Is
land.
Tsukamoto. the Hilo champion.
who ran 30 well against Kaoo, and
who Is probably the second-best man
In the Territory over certain dis
tances, Is taking long runs every day
and he is striding along as grace
fully as ever. He will be In tho
race on May 80, and. oxygen or not,
will make all of the runners do re.
markedly fast time to beat him.
Down at Waialua they think that
they have two men-a japanese and
a Chinese-who are champions over
a long distance. Jackson went down
yesterday to look at the runners ana
size them up. II the pair really are
good distance men they may cause a
surprise in the race at the league
grounds. and. at any rate, they will
add interest to the event.
Frank Scharsch is running In great
form just now. and he would appear
to have a good chance of annexing
/ first place on May 80. CANINE Hayes
Is also In good condition. and he will
make the best OF the bunch stretch
their legs before the full distance is
covered.
There will be three money prizes
for the race. and the amounts are
liberal enough. First man will get
