VIII Donlin, n brakeman on the Le-
high Valley. met with an accident near
MehOopany yesterday which proved
fatal shortly afterward. He was sent
out to flag a train. and by some mis-
step fell directly In front of the pickup
engine. which was approaching at such
rapid rate that 1t could not be
stopped in time to prevent hitting him.
He was run over diagonally. near the
hips and one leg cut Off and the other
cruelty mangled. He was placed on
board the train and brought to this
station. but died just as his rough,
but sympathetic. comrades were trans
ferring him to the platform. He was

also a brother of Patrick Donlin, form

Judge Dunham was here yesterday
and listened to the testimony and argu-
ments concerning the injunction re-
straining the Nicholson borough school
directors from mourning any further
indebtedness for the purpose of COM
pleting the school building already he
gun and well under way. The prelimi-
nary injunction was obtained upon the
representation that the directors were
about to exceed the legal limitations In
the amount af Indebtedness they We're
likely to incur for the borough, Il they
went on and completed the building as
proposed. Therefore it was desired to
have the injunction made permanent.
D
had no intent to exceed the constitu-
tional limit of Indebtedness, and the
question finally narrowed itself down
to whether an ordinary assessment
upon which taxes were to be collected
should be construed as indebtedness.
The Judge reserves his decision in the
matter until Saturday next.
