FLOWERS FOR
MEMORIAL PARK

The tulip beds at Memorial!park.sare
beginning to bloom, the large triangu-
lar bed near Upper Mulberry street,
especially, presenting very beautiful
appearance. Tulips are planted in all
the beds with the exception of the
three small circular ones at the east
ern end and the large rectangular one
installed by the p. & r. Railway COM
pany at the western end of the park
In a few days all will be in full bloom.
The effect of the recent rain is quite
marked at the park. The grass is grow
ing nicely and leaves are making their
appearance on the trees. The park al
ready proves quite an attraction.
Adam Hornberger, who took such
good care of the park last season, has
been installed as watchman for the
present year. Yesterday he was oper-
ating the lawn mower, circumstance
which indicates the advanced stage
that vegetation has already reached.
AT the last meeting of council John
Marshall, who is relied upon by the
members to look after the park, was
authorized to purchase flowers when
these may be needed for planting aft
er the tulips are done blooming Only
a limited quantity of flowers will be
needed by the borough. The P. & R.
Railway company, the Grove Presby-
terian church, and the residents living
near, it was explained, each maintain
a flower bed in the park. The remain
ing beds, the planting of which will
devolve on the borough, are few and
small in size.
The beautiful flag presented to the
park by Mr., DeLong last summer has
not been swung to the breeze yet this
spring. The watchman yesterday stat
ed that up to the present he had re-
ceived no instructions as to the flag.

SOME RELIEF
IS IN SIGHT

Now that the river is falling rapid
ly, as viewed by most persons, the
danger increases of taking into our
water supply disease germs that are
discharged into the stream at the hos
pital for the insane along with the eff
fluent from the sewage disposal plant.
Of course, all will concede that with
high water and rapid current not
only is the eftluent greatly diluted and
thereby possibly rendered inert or i'm
perceptible but also such micro. organ
isms as are thrown into the stream are
likely to be swept by without making
lodgment in the intake to our water
works. Conversely,a low stream, with
sluggish current, is bound to bring
about conditions of maximum danger
to the inhabitants of Danville.
The immediate outlook is rather dis
duieting. Whatever relief may be
brought about through the co-opera-
tion of the trustees of the hospital,
the borough of Danville and the d. L.
q W. Railroad company-if the prop
osition works at all--is many months,
possibly a year, in the future. Mean
while the citizens of Danville will
have to get along as best they can,
boiling the water used or adopting
other expedients.
Some relief is in sight. AT the hos
pital for the insane, they have begun
treating the effluent chemically that
is discharged from the sewage disposal
plant, chloride of lime being used,
which has the effect of killing the
micro organisms. This interesting ad-
junct to the disposal plant, which has
been fully described in these columns,
is not yet in such shape as to make it
possible to treat the effluent regularly.
The attempt to purify effluent has
up to the present been regarded large
ly as an experiment. At the hospital,
however, the chloride of lime, as far
as tried, has brought about satisfact-
ory results. 1t was learned yesterday
that samples of the effluent thus treat
ed were analyzed and found to be rel
atively in good condition. The plant
it was explained, is not yet in work
ing order. When all is ready and the
chloride of lime is regularly and sys-
the effluent will be found to be reIa-
tively pure.

FOR THROWING
GLASS ON STREET

In this city the first arrest was made
Monday under the act of May 20,
1905, which prohibits the throwing of
waste paper, sweepings, ashes, house
hold waste, nails or rubbish of any
kind into any street in city, borough
or township.
Notwithstanding that a person viol-
ating the provisions of the above act
faces a penalty in the form of fine
not exceeding ten dollars or imprison-
ment not exceeding ten days, yet the
above act in Danville has very gener-
ally been ignored. Waste paper is
thrown about at pleasure. Nails and,
what is probably worse, broken glass,
is dropped upon the street wherever
it happens to be convenient. Paper
drifting about the streets is bad enough
but it is only unsightly. The nails and
broken glass expose not only horses
but bicycle and automobile tires to
constant danger. Many horse is ruin
ed by treading on nail carelessly
thrown upon the street, while glass is
just as potent as nails in puncturing
rubber tires.
AS intimated there are many offend
ers, but it is seldom that any one seems
quite so reprehensbile as an individu-
al, who deliberately threw a bottle
on the Mill street paving shattering
it to pieces. The fragments of heavy
glass proved source of great danger,
and altogether the case was one that
demanded prompt and decisive action.
The papers were served ON the man
who broke the bottle by Officer John
Grier Voris Monday afternoon. The
hearing took place before Justice of
the Peace W. V. Oglesby.
Being the first offender prosecuted
under the act the man arrested was let
off easily, the charge being withdrawn
on payment of costs. Chief Mincemoy-
err, at whose instance the arrest was
made, however. states that so far as
possible he intends to break up the
practice of throwing on the streets not
only such articles as glass and nails
but also paper and rubbish of other
kinds, such as are described i'll the
act. The next person found guilty, he
SAYS, will be mulcted in both the fine

CUT ALMOST IN TWO

Tuesday afternoon about 1 80 o'clock
engine No. 30,a standard gauge engine
that is being used to help level off the
work at the new Northumberland rail
road yards, jumped off the switch and
toppled over sixteen-foot embank-
ment, falling into two Pennsylvania
box cars. Engineer Henry Boland
jumped, but was caught and cut al
most in two. He lived only about fif-
teen minutes after the accident. John
Brubaker, tiremen, jumped and escap-
ed with only few scratches. The
engine was badly demolished. Boland
moved to Northumberland from near
Pittsburg several months ago.

PUBLIC PROTESTS

The practice of roller skating on the
sidewalk is carried to great extremes
in Danville and is causing much COM
plant. The police dislike to interfere
with juvenile sports but safety to
pedestrians demands that they take a
hand.
AS long as the roller skaters are
small children and the sidewalk usurp-
ed is not an important one the public
is willing to waive a few of its rights
but when "a sidewalk as important as
that on Mill street between the canal
and Bloom street is appropriated daily
by roller skaters, the most of whom
are large and unmannerly boys the
public feels like registering a protest
About evening it frequently happens
that between the above described
points, especially on the east side of
Mill street, there is scarcely room for
anybody but the roller skaters. The
latter come dashing down the pave
ment, six or eight together; in order
to show their agility in getting over
the crossings, the ytake all sorts of risks
plunging madly along in a way that
makes it impossible for them to avoid
collisions. 1t simply results in this
that pedestrians, to whom the side
walks belong, get out of the way and
give the pavement over to the roller
skaters.

NJ. II. Schram and Ralph Kisner,
Esq. went fishing yesterday afternoon
and succeeded in hooking a fine string
of fish, among the number being a
monster German carp, twenty-six
inches in length and tipping the scales
at six pounds. The big fish was very
gamy and it required all the arts of
the angler to bring it into shore. The
carp was viewed by large number of
people lsat night and all agreed that
it was the biggest fish of the kind they
had ever seen.

dive At BAPTIzING
LANDS BOY IN JAIL

Dalton, Ca, Sept. Cd Walters. a
boy, occupies a cell in the county Jail,
being placed there on the charge of
disturbing public worship. He came
near breaking up a baptizing at Mill
Creek, short distance north of here.
when, with his clothes on, he jumped
into the creek and enjoyed a swim
around the people who were in the
creek to be baptized.
The concluding services of the big
west side revival held at the old ice
factory were being held and the nine
converts of the revival had gathered
at Mill Creek to be baptized by Rev.
J. A. Boyd, who conducted the SER
vices. Scores of persons were pres
ent. Walters made his high dive and
it was thought he had fallen into the
creek until he came up swimming and
went into the crowd of the converts,
performing various aquatic stunts.
