State Must Pay.

AT this time it may be interesting
to know that under an act of 1895
the State of Pennsylvania must re-
build any and all bridges that cross
navigable streams and are destroyed
by food or high water, or by wind or
accidental fire. The County Com
mssoners in the various counties
have just awakened to the fact that
they can get something for nothing
from the State, and apparently they
are going 10 rebuild, at the States
expense, all bridges that hereafter are
destroyed. There are some half dozen
bridges now that are awaiting reports
of viewers as to their cost and con-
struction.
Under the law it is only necessary
for the County Commissioners in a
county where a bridge has been de-
stroyed to apply through the county
solicitor to the Dauphln County
Court for the appointment of viewers
to investigate and report on the kind
of bridge that should replace the de-
stroyed structure, at the same time
notifying the Attorney General. The
Court appoints the viewers, who
make report, and this is certified to
the Board of Public Property, which
at once advertises for proposals from
bridge builders.
-Four bridges have already been
thus constructed, as follows: The
bridge across the Susquehanna a,
Catawissa tor $50, 400; bridge over
the Juniata at Birmingham, for 3d.,
500; bridge over the Clarion River
at Clarion, for $4,000, and one ovel

They Hinder Progress.

An exchange says: Small men with
small purpose do not help to make
the towns or cities lively and pro-
gressive. To forge ahead as com-
munlty there must be plenty OF push
and plenty of generosity among the
people, not the middle class and poor
alone, but the rich people also
There must be spirit of generosity
abroad in the community and the
spirit of pinch must be re.egated to
the rear. We must look at things in
the way that whatever helps the town
helps the people in it. Whatevct
keeps keeps the town back, keeps in
the rear all who have living to make.

COUNCIL IN SESSION.
Every Member Present at Thursday Nights
Meeting.

The last meeting but one of the
present Town Council was held
Thursday evening, with every
member present.
The bills presented by viewers in
the Walp damage case, held over
from last meeting, were considered
at length, but no definite action
taken. Mayor Ikeler is of the
opinion that inasmuch as no report
to the Court had ever been made,
and as there was an error in the
proceedings at which they were ap-
pointed, the petitioner is liable for
the bill.
c. w. Miller was present in the
interest of the Millville and
Bloomsbury Electric Railway Co.
He expressed wish that a special
meeting be called for the purpose of
considering a trolley ordinance.
The request was refused.
In regard to the collectorship
Mayor Ikeler stated that L. D.
Kase, the present incumbent, could
be turned out of Office, but that
such action would only result in
vacating the same. The duplicate
Of 1901 remains uncollected, and
Mr.. Kase's physical condition is
such that he isn't able to attend to
it. After some argument it was
decided to place the duplicate in
the hands of High Constable Miles
Betz for collection, he to be allowed
the usual five per cent.
Upon request from H. F. DEF
fenbach, for the Winona Fire Co.,
and Rhode Tracy for the Rescues,
their appropriations for 1901 were
allowed. The appropriation of the
latter was increased from $50 to
$4,000 Mr.. Tracy stated that
the Company was anxious to pay
off $500. 90 of the indebtedness this
year if possible, and the increase
was secured for this purpose.
G. Snyder presented bill for
$3.50, the balance due from the
town for the paving in front of the
Exchange Hotel.
On motion, seconded. 81, 900 of
the funds now on hand is to be ap-
piled on judgment note in the

IN THE WAY OF SPORTS.
Last game of the season-Pittston
rs. Normal--in the "Gym" tonight.

The Normal Basket Ball Team met
defeat at Williamsport Thursday, but
they made things decidedly interest
ing for the victors. The game was a
beauty and was not decided until the
whistle was blown, which ended the
contest. The Normal boys are well
thought of in the lumber city, as the
following clipping from the Gazette
and Bulletin will attest:
"The team work of the Normas
was excellent Nothing better has
been seen here this year than their
rally in the second half and the ex-
citement never ran higher than during
the closing half of the game. DR..
Aldinger, Of Bloomsburg, who ref
creed the game, is the best all-around
official the Williamsport team has
met"
Score at the end of first half
Williamsport 6, Normal o. Final
score, Williamsport IS, Normal 9.
Some idea of the strength of the
Williamsport five can be gathered
from the fact that they lost the first
game of the season at State College
Friday night. Score, II to IL.
Williamsport is to have a state
league base bali team the coming sea-
son. Arrangements looking to that
end were consumatcd by President of
the League, William Whitman, OF
Reading, on Saturday. The organ
ization as it now stands is composed
of the following towns: Scranton,
Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Reading,
Lebanon, Lancaster, Mt. Carmel and
Williamsport.
Danville will place a formidable
aggregation on the diamond this sea
son. Practice has already begun and
a series of games has been arranged
with clubs of known strength through.
out this section of the state. Gilbert
will do the pitching and 1t is quite
likely that Sidney Hoffa, of Wash
lngtonville, who has the earmarks of
a "comer," will also be secured to
help out. They anticipate pros
porous season.
The outlook for a good team in
Berwick is decidedly rocey. With
Smiths arm in good condition and
with the support that the team is cap |
able of giving him, the team that
tackles them will have all kinds OF |
trouble. There is no josh about
his, either.

Warm, dry weather is predicted
for September. The prediction is
based upon an "old Dutch sign"
that as the last Friday of August
is so will the next thirty days be
This is probably as reliable as a
host of other signs and we can tell
at the end of the month, much bet
ter than now, how reliable it will
have proven to be this year. 1t is
deemed probable, however, that we
shall have more or less hot and dry
weather during September as ar
offset to the cool and stormy wealth
er Of August.
