OLD SOLDIERS GATHERING.
Ninety-Seventh Pennsylvanians to
to Have a Reunion.

The arrangements are now in pro-
gress for the annual reunion of the
Survivors Association of the Ninty-
seventh Regiment Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, which will be held in West
Chester, Chester County, Pa, on the
Sth and 9th of September. 1t is ex-
pected that this will be large gather
ing, as the National Encampment Of
the Grand Army of the Republic will
be held in Philadelphia during the same
week, on the 9TH, 9th, 18th and 9Th, and
many members in the far West will
take advantage of the reduced rates Of
fare.
1t is also planned that the members
of the Ninety-seventh, of which Colonel
Henry r. Guss is commander shall
take part in the meeting of the Tenth
Army Corps, which will be held in Odd
Fellows Temple, on the 7th of the
month, and with that idea in mind the
members will assemble in room G, OIL
the sixth floor of that building, at 10
o'clock in the morning.
If all the details are carried out ac-
cording to schedule, the affair will be
one of the largest the old soldiers in
that section have seen in long time.
A number of the members Of the regt-
ment are in this county and State, and
their old comrades hope they will take
the journey to attend the reunion.

you have, eh?" queried Jenkins.
"Well, what roads are they?''
'eThe Upper Stockton and the Sheldon
roads, replied Curtis, and he looked
as though the mere mention of the
thoroughfares settled the proposition.
Mclaughlin acted as peace-maker,
and got the conversation away from
gambling and back to Sunday sprink-
ling. He had all along contended that
roads needed sprinkling on Sunday as
well as on Monday, and even worse,
and he moved that the board reconsider
it's former action prohibiting Sunday
sprinkling, and that the question of
such sprinkling be left to the judgment
of the Commissioner of the district.
ellis was not yet converted, and
sturdily maintained that there was no
need for Sunday sprinkling.
The motion to reconsider the former
action and to leave the matter to the
Commissioner of the district was car
ried, ellis voting no.
And so it happened that claims for
Sunday sprinkling were approved.
Jenkins next moved that the uniform
price for pumping at plants not pro-
vided with windmills, be fixed at the
uniform rate of 81 per day, and the
motion was carried.
CLAIMS AND ADJOURNMENT.
The remainder of the afternoon was
consumed in the examination and APP
prevail of claims, and at 5 o'clock a
recess was taken until Thursday next
at'2 p. m, at which time the committee
appointed to examine into the advisa-
bility of purchasing a burglar proof
safe for the Treasurer's Office will re-
port
