ACCIDENT CAUSES DELAY

A mishap took place at the stove
works yesterday afternoon, which caus-
ed some delay.
A defect developed in the cupola
lining and while the heat was being
poured the molten iron ate through
and commenced to run out of the
cupola alongside one of the tuyeres.
This was very serious matter and it
was necessary to throw off the blast
and empty the cupola as quickly as
possible.
Less than one-half of the heat was
poured when the accident occurred,
and it was Necessary to drain the rest
of the iron out into the gangway.
Consequently only portion of the
molds put up yesterday could be pour
ed. The delay is unfortunate, as the
company has many orders to fill.
AS soon as possible all the molten
iron and cinders were cleared away
and the work of repairing the cupola
began. 1t was thought that it would
be ready for heat today.

THE BOROUGH'S
ULT|MATUM

When the bids for paving East Mar
ket street between Pine street anC
Cooks Court were opened by council
April 2Sth, the natural inference wa.
that all obstacles were overcome anG
that this long deferred improvement
would go forward at once. 1t develops
however, that there are still trouble.
some complications and it is by nc
means certain that the street will be
paved this year. Even should the most
formidable obstacles be overcome, it
is reasonably certain that the work
can not go forward until late in the
summer.
The Borough and the Danville and
Sunbury Transit Co., have not as yet
gotten together on an agreement relat-
ing to the paving of that portion of
the street that falls to the trolley com
pany. Not only is there no agreement
as to the bond but the mooted question
whether or not the rail at present in
use shall be permitted to remain is
still undecided. Owing to the compli-
cations the councilmanic committee
on streets and bridges to which the
bids for paving had been referred. at
the meeting of council, Friday night,
reported in favor of postponing the
awarding of contract.
On motion of Mr.. Everhart, second
ed by Mr.. Helm, it WAS ordered that
the secretary be empowered and di-
rected to notify the Danville and Sun
bury Transit Co. to officially advise
the borough of said company s official
acceptance or rejection of a proposed
contract and bond recently submitted
to it for the grading and paving by
the borough of said company's portion
of East Market street in question, and
as therein stipulated within ten days,
and that in default Of such advice,
or of acceptance or rejection of the
proposed contract, this borough will
Immediately thereafter regard such
proposed contract as absolutely null
and void and shall at once require
said company to grade and pave its
portion of said street as required and
under penalties prescribed by ordi-
nance in such behalf enacted in the
premises.
Should the trolley company fail to
accept or reject the proposed contract
relating to the paving of its portion
of the street the way will be open for
the borough to rescind all past action
and set on foot an entirely new pro-
ceeding, the first step of which will
be to notify the Danville and Sunbury
Transit Co. to replace the rails at pre-
sent in use on East Market street with
a new sand heavier rail within a
period of sixty days.

THE F|REMEN'S
CONVENTION

The annual convention of the Six.
County Firemen's association will
meet at Shenandoah ON the week OF
June 14-18 Already there is quite a
stir among Danville firemen, who ex-
pect to be well represented at the con.
vention.
Our town naturally feels keen in
| terest in the event, as the convention
last year was held in Danville and
one of our townsmen, John G.. Waite,
is the presiding officer of the Six
County Firemen's association.
Mr.. Waite at the convention last
dent of the convention for the ensuing
year Upon him will devolve the duty
of calling the convention to order and
presiding at the sessions. Each of the
Danville fire companies will be repre-
sented by delegates, as follows
Friendship, Harry Heller; Washing
ton, Israel Dimmick; Continental,
James Mullen; Goodwill, William
Everett.
In addition to the delegates men,
bers of each company, uniformed,
will attend the convention in body.
Of the local companies the Washes
have been the first to send represent
ative to Shenandoah to secure accom-
modations. W. H. Wyant, who was
entrusted with this errand, returned
home Tuesday.
Shenandoah is arranging to hold an
"old home" week Simultaneously with
the convention of the Six-County
Firemen's association, and Mr.. Wyant
describes conditions there similar to
what might be anticipated in an en-
terprising town of that size with two
events of so much Importance loom
ing up in the near future. An enor-
nous crowd is anticipated and prepa-
rations are already on foot along many
different lines. Hotel rates, Mr.. Wy
ant says, compare favorably with
what were in vogue in Danville when
the convention was held here. The
Washes will be entertained at Hotel
Paskey, corner of Center and West
streets, where accommodations have
been secured for fifty men.
Some big features are being arrang
ed for the Six-County Firemens con-
vention. Among these will be an all
ship flight, a balloon ascension and
gorgeous display of fireworks. There
will be also team and hose races and
last but not least a turkey dinner for
the delegates.

THE ORDINANCE
WAS GRANTED

The question of granting an ordi

occupied an hour or more at the meet.
ing of the borough council Friday eve
! Charles S. Davis, representative, and
Hon. II. NJ. Hinckley, local attorney
for the Bell Telephone company, were
present in the interest of the proposed
ordinance.
| A communication was received from
Borough Solicitor E. S. Gearhart, in
which he urged that the proposed ordi-
nance be rejected. He held, first, that
the ordinance is illegal, in that the
act of April %, 1907, requires all ordi-
nances to be prepared by the borough
solicitor. The proposed ordinance, he
reminded council, was prepared and
submitted by the Bell Telephone Co.
The solicitor declared that he would
disclaim all responsibility and liability
for the proposed ordinance.
Mr.. Curry moved that council grant
to the Bell Telephone company the
franchise read at the previous meeting
and that it be given the first reading.
The motion.was seconded by Mr.. Ever
hart.
Before the motion was voted on Mr..
Hinckley took the floor and one by one
took up the points urged by the bor-
ough solicitor endeavoring to show the
councilmen that the proposed ordi-
nance asked nothing unjust.
A vote was taken, when the motion
carried unanimously.
The following statement of Borough
Electrician Newton Smith was pre-
sented and on motion was accepted:
Cost of materials used for repairs
and renewals to the equipment $42 II.
Cost of coal, oils and waste $171.71.
Cost of labor, cleaning, &c, $102. 10.
Total, $317. 23.
William Vastine rendered his resig-
nation as Water Commissioner, which
on motion was accepted.
Mr.. Curry called attention to a de- (
feet in drainage at Welsh hill, which !
threatens to injure the foundation of /
the school house at that place. The |
matter was referred to the committee |
on streets and bridges, it to confer
with. the school board and see if mutu-
al concessions can not be made. 1t was
the sense of the members that the bor-
ough should not be held wholly re-
sponsible for conditions on Welsh hill |
as relate to the school house
The following members were pres
