STREET PAVING
IN DANVILLE

There is a growing sentiment i'll tav-
or of paving Bloom street between
Mill and the p. q r. crossing among
citizens whose properties abut on that
section. 1t is not unlikely that the
question will be much agitated during
the next six months and that the i'm
provement may go forward next sum-
mer.
No one will accuse Dauvillc of being
in category with slow towns In ad-
dition to the paving on Mill street,
which takes in tine entire length of the
town, East Market street, by the time
the improvements on foot are complet
ed will present a paved surface from
West Market street nearly all the way
to the Cottage drug store. At Foust
street macadamization will begin,
leading to the excellent highway con-
structed by the State hospital for the
insane.
The section of West Market street
to be reconstructed was surveyed yes

there is no question but that the paw
ing will be laid during the coming
autumn. The ordinance relating to the
paving Of the two squares between
Mill and Pine streets without applica.
tion, will come up for additional read
ing at the regular meeting Of council
Friday night. No complications are
foreseen that will delay the work and
council expects to be able to invite
bids very soon, after which no time
will be lost in getting the improve
ment under way.
There is no longer any doubt that
the macadamization of East MarEe
street, on the extension east OF Foust
street will also be completed during
autumn. All formality has now been
complied with and the State Highway
Department is prepared to advertise
for bids.

THE PRAYER
OF A HORSE

BY direction of Acting Police COM
missioner Bugher, of New York City,
there has been posted in every stable
where police horses are kept card
bearing a copy of 1.-The Prayer of a
Horse" This is it:
ITO Thee, My Master, 1 Offer My
Prayer:
Feed me, water and care for me, and
when the days work is done, provide
me with shelter, a clean dry bed and
stall wide enough for me to lie down
i'll comfort. Talk to me. Your voice
often means as much to me as the
reins. Pet me sometimes that may
serve you the more gladly and learn
to love you.
Do not jerk the reins, and DO not
whip me when going up hill. Never
strike, beat or kick me when l do not
understand what you mean, but give
me Il chance to understand you. Watch
me, and if fail to do your bidding,
see if something is not wrong with my
harness or feet.
Examine my teeth when | do not
eat. | may have an ulcerated tooth
and thar, you known, is very painful
Do not tie my head in an unnatural
position or take away my best defense
against flies and mosquitoes by cutting
oil my tail.
"And finally, Oh my master, when
my useful strength is gone, do not
turn me out to starye or freeze, OF
sell me to some cruel owner to be
slowly tortured and starved to death,
but do thou, my master, take my life
i'll the kindest way and your God will
reward you here and hereafter. You
may not consider me irreverent if |
ask this in the name of Him who was
born in stable. Amen"
The Acting Commissioner found the
prayer i'll Pittsburg recently, and it
struck him so forcibly that lie obtain
ed copy, and arranged to have it re
produced for the Police Department.
He thinks it will serve to obtain bet.
ter treatment of the horses by men
who sometimes lose their tempers and
abuse them.

D|S|NFECT|NG
THE RIVER BED

permit to extend the pipe of tn
borough sewer four hundred feet fur
ther into the river has not as yet been
received from the State Department of
Health. Meanwhile conditions are
found to be well-nigh intolerable about
rise in the river has not sufficed to
submerge or carry off the deposit of
sewage.
Yesterday large quantities of quick
lime were strewn over the river bed
all about the mouth of the sewer, the
effect of which, it is hoped, will be to
destroy the obnoxious odor, which
during the prevalence of southwest
wind, is almost intolerable on portions
of West Market and West Mahoning
streets.
The exigency of the case has been
fully explained to the State Depart
ment of Health, and it is thought that
a permit will be granted without any
more delay. The two-foot cast-iron
pipe required has been ordered and
will arrive in few days-probably by
the time the permit is received, Work
on extending the pipe may begin dul-
ing the present week.
When the extension is completed our
sewer system will be the most valuable
and efficient among our public util-
tiles, embracing practically every part
of town and working without a hitch.
The second ward sewer extension
made last summer has added over a
mile to our sewer system, at a cost of
some s., 500. At least four -ffths of the
borough now has a public sewer, all
that is required being few inexpen-
sive extensions to carry the system in
to every part of the borough.
In this connection it might be inter
esting to know that the borough up to
the present has spent over 2210 on
sewers.

FINDING THE CHILDREN

During the first days of the school
term Attendance Officer W. L. Young
is kept on the move. Mere truancy is
not so much Of factor, although there
are few boys who need constant
looking after. The principal difficulty
lies in finding all the children of
school age and getting them enrolled
in school.
Mr.. Young states that there are
families whose children each year fail
to appear at school until personally
notified that the term has begun. This
special form of work suilices to keep
the attendance officer busy during the
first week or so before truancy proper
gets into full swing.

WILL ORDER BE
CARRIED OUT F?

The order has gone out to vacate
and relay a portion of the public road
at Benfield's in Limestone township,
on which five different sets of viewers
were appointed and which was before
court for several years. The most de-
termined opposition still exists and
all parties are waiting with interest
to see whether the changes will be
made forthwith or the matter will
again be carried into court.
No more noteworthy road case has
ever taken place in Montour county.
1t was bitterly contested at every
stage of the proceedings. The first
three wives were set aside by opinions
of the court-filed August 10 and Nov.
8, 1907 and Aug. 8, 1908. The fourth
set of viewers was appointed Aug. s,
1908. To the report, which was i'll fav-
or of vacating and relaying portion
of the road, there were 10 exceptions
/ filed. 1t was confirmed absolutely on
, Jan, IL. 1909.
January 22 1909 eleven days after
the final confirmation of the rpeort Of
viewers-tho fourth settled Oct. 10,
1908 the fifth set Of viewers review
ers was appointed. On June Z, 1909,
they reported against the proposed
changes of the road
The third set of viewers reported
February 24, 1908, in favor Of the
changes, Exceptions to the report were
filed April II, 1908. May %, 1908, a
petition for review was filed and
marked as follows: "And now May
%, 1908, within petition allowed to be
/ tiled-to await disposition of eXcep-
tions. 1" The said exceptions were dis
posed of by an opinion of the court
filed August 8, 1908.
The fifth set of viewers was ap.

pointment is endorsed on the back of

The status of the complicated pro-
ceediugs at this stage is better eX'

W|LKES-BARRE TO
DANv|LLE TROLLEY

From Wilkes Barre comes a rumor
that Wilkes Barre and Philadelphia
capitalists are working upon plan to
build trolley line between Wilkes
Barre and Berwick, to connect with
the Columbia and Montour Electric
Street Railway Co.'S. lines, at that
place.
1t is said also TO be the intention to
sooner or later continue the line from
Danville on to Northumberland and
Sunbury and from there TO Shamokin.
From Wilkes Barre proposed troll
ley line over the Pocono Mountains,
phia, may soon be an assured fact. 1t
is reported that a monster dam along
Broadhead Greek is contemplated, and
surveyors have recently been at work
in that section. Good trolley service
is maintained between Easton, Doyles-
town and Philadelphia and it is
thought the new line will connect
with that one.
j.. X. Sponsler, of Harrisburg, presi-
dent of the Columbia Power, Light
and Railways Co.'S. lines, was in
Bloomsbury yesterday afternoon, and
went to Berwick. 1t is understood that
he is in this vicinity on business con-
nected with this proposition.
If this proves true then it will be
possible to go from DanvilIe to Phila-
delphia and many coal region point by

AIRSHIP WRECKED

If anything could discourage that
intrepid apostle of aerostatics, Count
Zeppelin, it would appear to have been
furnished today when the Zeppelin
VI, the latest model of his aerial in
vention, was torn by the aerial inven-
tion, was torn by the explosion of one
of the three motors located in the
stern gondola.
Three of the airship's crew were SER
iously injured.
3 The accident happened as the dirig.
ible was being sloyly worked into her
shed here The Elective motor had
been operating as usual when sudden
ly the crew were whiIled from their
posts in the rear gondo!a as the craft
trembled and lurched. There was a
sharp report, flash of flames and in
a moment the immense fabric of silk
canvas was atire.
The crew barely escaped with their
lives.
The fire spread so rapidly that the
shed was soon destroyed.
This is the fifth serious accident
which has befallen the Zeppelin dirig-
ibles, the histories of which have been
brilliant but brief and usually ending
in disaster.
