M. 6-33 P. M. MED BLOCKS LIID YESTERDAY The work of putting down the paviug blocks botwoeu the trolley tracks was begun yesterday moniiug aud before night considerable progress had been made. The groove in the bricks noarest the rails on either side is scaroely discernible and one must look closely to observo it.

It is wide enough to permit the tlauge of a trolley car wheel to run smoothly but is so close to the rail that it cannot interfere in any way with travel. Contrary to expectations no paving will be laid this week Tho streot has been graded and concreted as far as the D. L. W. railroad crossing aud is ready for the bricklayers but as the trolley tracks have not been put down the laying of brick had to be The trolley compauy thought It advisable to wait until the street north of the railroad crossing had been graded to Bloom street.

This is as far as the tracks extend aud as the distance was so short it was thought better to wait a few days and then lay the tracks the entire distance. Excavating is proceeding rapidly despite the extremely hard digging. A number of men are already at work at a point Noith of Northumberland street and by the olose of next week it is expected that the excavating and grading will be completed to the end of the paving line at Centre street. Contractor D. J.

Rogers stated yesterday that he is hurrying the work along in order to complete the job before there is a likelihood of cold weather. As soon as grading is completed to Center street, the square between the Montour House aud the bridge will be started. Orading as far as Bloom street will be completed by Friday night and the trolley company will then put down the rails. This work oau be completed in two days. A Home Wedding.

On Saturday, September 24th, at high noon a number of friends assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Bogart.iu West Hemlock township, Montour oouuty, to witness the mam ago of township.

At the appointed hour the wedding party marched into the parlor to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding'march played by Mrs. J. W. Bell. The bride and groom were attended by Miss Daisy and Lewis Bogart, sister and brother of the bride.

The officiating minister was Rev. J. W. Bell, of Strawberry Ridge, pastor of the bride. The bride was attired in a beautiful costume of blue Mohair trimmed with cream colored lace and carried a boquet of white asters.

The bridesmaid wore dark blue and carried pink asters. The iiarlor was prettily deoorated with flowers and plants. After the ceremony a delicious wedding dinner was served to the guests. The bride is one of the most popular young ladies iu the neighborhood, and the groom is well known in this section. Mr.

and Mrs. Girton expect togo to house keeping in the spring on a large farm near Grovania aud will oarry with them to their new home the good wishes many friends. A GUEST. Oora Orop Will Not be Large. The farmers are very busy just now cutting corn which this year will be only a fair crop.

A great many of the farmers had to plant corn the second time last spring and in nearly every instance where this was done the crop provad a failare. Those who succeeded with the first planting were more fortunate and will have a big yield. Many complaints are also made in regard to the corn drying properly. The grains should dry on ttiecob close together, iu order to retain the moisture but in every crop much of the corn is separating and the cob can be easily seen between the rows. This has a tendency to spoil it to some ex tent aud makes an appreciable difference iu its sale as feed.

A number of farmers in this vioinity have cut very large and fine crops. Some very large and fine specimens are seen, nearly all of them grown from the first planting. In Northumberland county there is one farmer who has raised the largest crop of corn in the history of the farm His neighbor who had to replant his corn field will not get five bushels for his trouble. Birthday Surprise Party A birthday surprise party was tendered Walter Chapman at his home, Sunbury street. South Danville, on Friday evening last.

Those present were: Misses Carrie Hoover, Sarah Aten, Nettie Yeager, May Hummer, Glendor Johnson, Annie Reese. Ruth Diinmiok, Mame Weaser, Mary Pegii, Hitnnah Yeager Nellie Outhbert, Jennie Weaser, Kobert Brooks. Eugene Pegg, Edgar Montague, Charles Wilson, Solomon Yeager, Harry Wilford, Grier Shultz, Walter Pegg, H. Spencer Vastine, Harry Wertmau and Harold Bassett. A WELL EQUIPPED LINE Fred M.

Owen yesterday afternoon took a party consisting of Will G. P. Johnson and a representative of the News over tho Danville and Bloomsbuig Trolley line in his Oldsmobile touring car. Frequent stops were made to better view the progress that has reoently been made, and at each point where workmen are still employed It was evident that only the finishing touches were necessary to complete the lino and put it in first-class working order. On the outward journey the first activity that was noticed was a gang of about 30 men who were removing the weeds aud dirt from the track and cleaning up tlie line in geueral This work had progressed to a point half way between (Jrovauia aud Danville, so that there now remains but three miles to be cleaned up.

The track from the place where these men were working to the Fishing Oreek bridge presents au appearance that would do credit to the road bed of a modern steam railway. At the Power House the same work of completing the final details was going OD. E. F. Smith, who is to have charge of the plant, was busily occupied putting in systematic order so that the engines may be started on a moment's notice.

This morning the Joints on the switch board will be soldered up, the feed wire will be connected to tho board aud all will be iu readiness to operate the plant. At the Fishing Oreek bridge tho workmen were plaoing the heavy overhead "traveler" iu plaoo, aud had already put some of the rails in position on the false work. At the Bloomsburg end of the bridge there is a particularly sharp curve, for which is needed a speoial piece of track. This will bo plaoed in position today. With this carve completed nothing remains to be done but lay a few rails on the bridge and string the feed wire across the oreek aud the liue will be ready for the first car.

The tour of inspection was continued from the Fishing Creek bridge to the car barn of the Montour Columbia Trolley Company where the party viewed the Danville aud Bloomsburg company's beautiful and commodious cars, which were recently described in this paper. Mr. Pascoe stated last eveniug that the engines at the power house will be started this afternoon. Late Blackberries. Heber L.

DeWitt, assistant station agent at South Danville is still pickiug blackberries at his Walnutdalo farm near Riverside. He states that there are many berries ou the place still in excellent condition aud unless a heavy frost occurs the crop will last for several weeks. Mr. DeWitt presented a representative of the News with a box of these fine berries yesterday. He gives the following explanation for the berries ripeuing at this season of the year.

"Realizing that extra early berries oould not be profitably raised in this latitude for the reason of keen Southern competition and late frost, about (Pftfi voara experimenting of originating a later variety. After much thought aud patience 1 am euabled to herewith present you with a box of "Pride of Waluutdale" picked from the bushes this 2tith day of September. Although I have run out a number of experiments without result, this one seems to be a great boon to horticulture by being fixed iu character and not a freak. This result was obtained by root grafting the Snyder (faithful as dog Tray) on the ever reliable Kittatiuny aud the progeny polliuized with the famous Minnewaski from the great Northwest and therefore noted tor its hardiness. I have no plants for sale, but assure those interested, that they can secure them from a Tollable nursery company of Rochester, N.

If the weather proves favorable the same teams will play another game in the uear future. Re-Uylng Pavement. Landlord Oliver Drumheler is lowering aud resetting the pavement in front of the Hotel Oliver to conform with the new conditions arisiug since Mill street has been paved. There was a difference of 18 inches in the grade at ttie northern end of the hotel and 10 inches at the southern end.

It was at first thought that excavating to such an extent would make a great difference in appearances This was not the case however, aud the change is a decided improvement. Surprise Party. Miss Anna Werle was tendered a surprise party Saturday afternoon a the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Werle, Wall street.

The population of South Danville and Riverside has been increased to no little extent with the influx of bridge builders, Italian and the business of merchants on the South side as well as those who peddle in that vicinity is increased accordingly.

Several of the bridge mechanics have temporarily moved their families to South Danville and occupy houses that were vacated by families moving to Danville until the bridge is erected. Mmy homos aro filled with boarders and the hotel lias all the guests it can accommodate. On Saturday the feiry traffic was so heavy and the flat boat moved so slowly that the Dtuville wagons wore unable to make their deliveries until very late. Heavy purchases had been made on this side of the river for Saturday and Sunday and the drivurs were compelled to make more trips than is customary. The butchers and bakers were sold oat early.

A scarcity of bread kept the bakers' wagons on the other side until after eight o'clock. In order to bu sure of a supply for Sunday many people niaio special trips to Danville Saturday night to make their purchases for Sunday.

Miller of Washington, D.

will return home today at'tor a several days visit with old friends and acquaintances in this city. Mr. Miller was a resident of Danville prior to the Civil War and this visit is the first in many years. Mr. Miller was born in Mittlinburg and came to Danville in 1834 when still a boy.

On September 14th, 1855 he enlisted as a member of Co. 9th Infantry, United States Array for a term of five years under Captajjj Fred Dent. The regiment, was stationed at Walla Walla, Washington territory, participated in many of the Indian Wars and Mr. Miller's experiences woro of a very thrilling char acter. The 9th Infantry was commanded by Major William Grier, son of the late Michael Grier of this city.

Mr. Miller received his discharge a short time before his enlistment expired and he was paid oil' at Vancouver, Oregon. After a visit to San Francisco and other points in the west lie returned to Danville in 1859. After a short stay here ho went to Philadelphia where lie enlisted in the United States Navy aud was assigned to duty on the cruiser Brooklyn, under the command of Admiral Farragot. This boat took American Minister McLain to Vera Cruz, Mexico, during the Race and Church War in that country.

Mr. Miller was one of thirty marines that were sent ashore at Tampeco, Mexico, for the protection of United States Consul McChase. He was on shore dutv three months at this point aud was quartered at the best hotel in the city. Returning to America he was for a time stationed at Norfolk, later on sailing for the Isthmus ot Panama. He accompanied a corps of engineers over the site of the Panama Canal route before returning.

While on the ocean bound for the Staies a sailing vessel imparted the news that Abraham Lincoln had been elected President and that great excitement prevailed in the South. Tha carrying a force of artillery from Fortress Monroe to Fort Taylor at Key West, ordered to the mouth of the Mississippi river for blockade duty. But a short stay was made here, the vessel returning to the Brooklyn Navy Yard aft which it was taken out of commission. Mr. Miller, after a 15 days furlough which was spent in Danville, was assigned to the gunboat Westfield commanded by Captain Renshaw and again returned to the Mississippi river.

Under Admiral Porter he participated in the engagements and surrender of Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip. The city of Galveston was the next place captured but it was retaken by the rebels and in order to avoid capture the Westfi'ld was blown up. Fourteen men, including three commissioned officers were killed in the explosion. Mr.

Miller was then ordered to New Orleans and assigned to Admiral Farragut's flagship Hartford. On this March he participated in the battle of Fort Hudson. Dursissippi was destroyed aud 100 men lost. Admiral Dewey was lieutenant on this ill fated boat but escaped with his life. After participating in the battles of Grand Gulf aud Vicknhurg the Hartford returned to the Brooklyn Navy yard where Mr.

Miller received his final discharge. Mr Miller was a model soldier and marine, a clause in his discharge read ing, "An excellent man and first rate soldier." He has enjoyed his visit to his old home very much. He is still in good health aud in his reminiscences shows a remarkable memory. His visit to Danville has been of great interest to him as well as to his many ftieiids. From 148 to 92 Pounds.

T. Dice of the Philadelphia Heading Railway Company, accompanied by J. D. Turk Superintendent of the Shamokin division arrived in this city Friday. In company with Oouncilmen George lieifsuyder, Albert Lloyd, Arthur Dietrich and John H.

Goeser, comprising the Streets and Bridges Committee and W. F. Pascoe and F. C. Angle, of the Danville and Bloomsburg Street Hallway Compauy.tho site of the proposed A street underground crossing was visited and fully gone over.

The Heading company officials have made a proposition to putin a roadway thirty feet in width runniug under their tracks at the foot of A street, which will open up that thoroughfara and form a connection with Walnut street. In return the Heading company desires the Borough to close the crossing leading over the tracks between Walnut and Cross streets. The roadway under the tracks as proposed, would be plenty wide euough to accommodate the trolley line and all vehicles that would have occasion to uso it. The roadway would be accessible from Nicholas avenue and could bo used with as much convenience and more safety than the crossing now being used at Cross street. Many people are of the opinion that the roadway svould be a great improvement aud would eliminate a railroad crossing that has always been considered more or less ctangerous.

By turning from Bloom into A street, which is the first street above the Grove Presbyterian church, and coming down Walnut street, the troliey line will take in all but two blocks of its original route aud will not be compelled to fight through another grade crossing. Plans and specifications will be drawn up by the Heading company and submitted to Council at a special meeting called for next Friday evening. What's in a Name.

Hubert's German Catholic church and is being instructed by Dr. George A. Stock. The choir consists of nine men and nine boys and is holdiug weekly rehearsals. The radioal change is not only conspicuous for the absence of female voices but for the entire elimination of the florid stylo of masio usually sung in Catholic churches aud the magnificent masses which bordered on oratorio and which were listened to with much interest everywhere.

The change is made by a recent edict issued by Pope Pius in which a request was made that the Catholic choirs return to the old Gregorian chant. This chant, was originated by Pope Gregory the First, known as Gregory the Great. The ohaut is a plain song, a kind of uuisouous music and is made up according to the eight celebrated ohurch modes. The Pope has appointed a commission to select such portions of the chant as will best suit the present choirs and as soon as the task is completed the manuscript will.be given to the music publishers who will issue it in the original text. Dr.

Stock is paving the way for the change aud St. Hubert's congregation will be the first in the Harrisburg Diocese to organize the male choir. St. Peter's Cathedral, Scrauton, presided over by Bishop Hoban recently made the change aud though proving somewhat of a novelty, it is not thought that the music will be as satisfactory as the more modern style.

Sharploss, the well kuowa Hazletou lawyer had a most thrilling with a burglar on Monday night.

Mr. Sharploss is a son-in-law of Mrs. W. M. Uearhart, West Market street and is quite well known here.

The Hazletou Plain Speaker" of Tuesday night gives the following accouut of the adventure: R. and J. H. Bigelow had experiences last night with a in 111 believed to be the sneak thief who has been operating in Hazletou for the past two weeks. He got into the residence of the former atii was on the back porch of the home of the latter, but was scared off before he could gaiu an entrance to the building.

Mr. Sharpless had the rao exciting time of the two. Mr. Sharpless and family with the exception of the sorvant girl, May retired for the night. Miss Smith returned home from church at about 10:30 o'clock.

Having a key to the kitchen she opened the door and was just about to close and lock it again when an unknowu man sprang from a dark corner of the porch. Placing one of bis feet between the door and tho door jam lie prevented the girl from shutting it. With rare presence of mind Miss Smith ran through tho kitchen into the dining room and, looking the door of the latter, which connects with the kitohcQ, summoned Mr. Sharpless and sxplained the situation to liiui. Mr.

Sharpless is somewhat of "a strategist and tried to entrap tho intruder by yelliug to his neighbor, L. 0. Emmerich, to telephone fur the police. Mr. Emmerich was fist asl-ep and wasn't dreaming of trouble.

Ho could not be Mr. Sharploss, clad his night gown and bull robe, which give him the appearance ot a Roma is nator seen on tin Mage in 111 to 'phone him regardless of consequeuces. 11 is 'phono is in tho dining room Ariuol a revolver that he keeps for such emergencies aud knowing that the burglar could not get any 112 ut'ier than the kitchen, Mr. Sharplesi went down and rang up police headquarters. Officer Goldsworthy responded to the alarm, but when he and Mr.

Sharpless enteied the kitchen their bird bad flown. The door and two windows were wide open and there were ud signs of the man iu the cellar or auy other portion of the premises. The tingling of the telephone bell no doubt frightened him away. Mr. Sharpless said today that if he had not been such a conspicuous mark in his white night clothes he would have opened the door leadiug to the kitchen bafore summoning the police and engaged the burglar without i police assistance.
