QUO WARRANTO
PROCEEDINGS

Argument was heard before Deputy
Attorney General Fleitz yesterday ON
the petition of the Danville and Sun
bury Street Railway Co. for a writ
of quo warranto directed against the
Danville and Riverside Street Rail
way Company and the Danville and
Bloomsbury Street Railway Company,
requiring the latter to show cause why
they should not be dispossessed of
their charter rights. A decision is not
expected for some days.
Both the petitioning and respondent
companies were chartered under the
Focht street railway act Of 1901. The
Danville and Sunbury Company allege
that the Danville and Riverside COM
pany never attempted to exercise any
of their charter rights, nor to make
use of the provisions of the franchise
granted them by the borough of Blooms
burg.
They also claim that the original
charter was defective in that it con-
tanned a clause permitting the DAN
Vile and Sunbury Company to use
2,500 feet of the route of the Berwick
and Bloomsbury Street Railway Com
pany, which clause the Supreme Court
has declared to be unconstitutional.
The Danville and Bloomsbury Com
pany sets up the defence that because
of the unconstitutionality of this
clause they were justified in getting
out charter for the same route before
the required two year limit had expir-
ed The Danville and Sunbury Com
pany secured their charter after the
expiration of ths two year limit.
The suit means much to street rail-
way interests in general, and involves
about $3.50. GOO already expended by the
Danville and Bloomsbury Company

Bloomsbury was only opened for travel

The Danville and Bloomsbury Com
pany were represented by Hon. Grant
Herring of Bloomsbury, Ex- Judge Koch

vile and Sunbury Company were look
cd after by Hon. Lyman D. Gilbert OF

Touring with SOusa's Band

S. Ross Millhouse, oornetist with
Sousa's concert band, sends the follow
ing newspaper clipping from Mitchell.
South Dakota.
"Messrs. j. W. Richardson, r. Mill
house and Henry Heidelberg, members
of Mr.. Sousa's band have had their
first experience in shooting prairie
chickens and jack rabbits. They were
taken out Thursday by l.. @. Thomas,
with whom they are stopping, and
given a touch of western hunting on
tho prairie. They were successful in
hagging four prairie chickens and
three jack rabbits. ana they declared
it was the greatest sport they ever en-
ioyed. Down in New York they said
they usually got prairie chickens after
they had baen killed week and that
they were hardly worth eating. The
party had great sport with Mr.. Held
elberg. The first jack rabbit that pop
ped caused much excitement and they
all shouted "see the WOLF" for the
jack rabbits in this country are nam.
moth in size. Mr. Heidelberg was SO
ufraid that it would not be shot that
he attempted to run it down, despite
the effort of Mr.. Thomas to call him
back. He tore along at an exciting
pace while the jack would run short
distance and then stop and look de
risively back at his painting pursuer.
Mr.. Heidelberg finally gave up the
chase, aud when the next two jacks
put in appearance he took off his hat
to the fieetness of the South Dakota
jack rabbit, and went after him with
his gun.
Mr.. Millhouse was engaged by Prof.
Sousa early in September. The band
is maxi ing tour of the west. giving
concerts in all the large cities. From
Oct. IS to 23, the band will play in San
Francisco and will then work east to
New York city where concert will
be given Christmas night. On We'd
nesday, December 28th, the band will
sail for England and will make tour
of the British provinces and Ireland.
The European tour will close with q
two weeks engagement in the city OF
London.
Mr.. Millhouse was born in Danville
and resided here until he was twenty
years of age. Ho was at one time a
member of Stoes' Band aud Strick-
land s orchestra

RF d Routes are Increasing

A second successful year for the rural
free delivery system in Montour coun-
ty closed last week, on September 30.
The r. F. D. routes are especially
serviceable for the people living far
from post offices and all of the farmers
are warm in their praise of it. That
the rural delivery system has given
satisfaction and proven a great con-
venience is evidenced by an increase
in the mail handled in this section,
which has been followed by alike
growth of the number of routes. In
fact there are now just about twice as
many of them as there were a year
ago.
There is no gainsaying that it is a
very fine thing for the men on the
farm to be able to take an hour after
breakfast for looking over his city
newspaper. fresh from the press and
received the same morning it is pub
lished. When it is recalled that the
news even of his own section hitherto
did not reach the farmer until it was
couple days old it can readily be un
derstood that the rural free delivery
means something to the country folks.

their city friends so far as mail facil-

MR.. BARRETTS
TRAGIC DEATH

Cornelius Barrett, son of Mrs. Mary
Barrett, of Railroad street. near the
East end. was found dead OH the Phil
adeplhia e. Reading railroad between
Spruce and Hemlock streets early Sun
day morning. His body was cruelty
mangled and mystery shrouds his
tragic end.
James Mullen, of First street, Welsh
Hill, claims to have stumbled upon
the body about 1 80 O'Clock Sunday
morning, finding it lying between the
rails. He came to the central part of
the city and notified officer J. G. Voris
and night watohmau Lewis Byerly,
telling them he had found Barrett's
dead body ON the track and taking
them to the spot. DR.. S. Y. Thompson
was called about Q a. IN. He found
the young mans body lying on the
grass on the north side of the track,
whittier it had been removed, and pro-
nounced life extinct, ,attributing death
to hemorrnage. A thick line of blood
dead man was so pale that 1T seemed
nearly all of the blood must have drain
ed out of his body.
DR.. Thompson examined Barrett S
body, finding his left leg cut of short
distance below the hip joint. His left
arm was severely crushed about four
inches below the shoulder and his face
| was lacerated as If his head had been
showed into the cinder. His skull was
compressed above the right eye, fract-
ured above the left ear and there also
was fracture at the base of the skull.
Either of the head wounds would have
caused death, DR.. Thompson states.
The young mans right arm and
right leg were not hurt. His right
hand was in his hip pocket, which
only adds to the mystery surrounding
his death, showing that it came with
such extreme suddenness as to keep
him from even throwing out his hand
and from this it might appear that h e
! fell upon the track i'll the path of a
train.
Squire James Dalton, acting as cor
oner, also went to the place where the
lifeless body was found and turned the
remains over to undertaken John Dost-
ers Sons to prepare for burial.
The deceased was aged 30 years. He
is survived by his widowed mother
and three brothers, two of Danville
and one of Shamokin.
Squire James Daltop, Monday
morning Investigated the death of
Cornelius Barrett, whose lifeless body
was found on the Philadelphia &
! Reading railroad track early Sunday
morning. He took the testimony of
James Mullen, who stumbled upon the
corpse when walking on the railroad,
and of persons who had seen Barrett a
few hours before he was killed. His
verdict was that death was accidental,
and he thought an inquest was not
necessary.

evening two cars Oh the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad were derailed by
broken fange and the Catawissa and
Mahanoy Plains wreck trains were
called out, the former arriving first
and at once beginning work. One car
was loaded with iron two inches square
and 30 feet long, each bar weighing
500 pounds. The car tilted over when
derailed Before it could be placed in
position again some of the iron had to
be removed, and when engaged in un-
loading the iron seven men, all of Cat
awissa. were injured.
The removal of part of the iron
lightened the weight of the partly
overturned car to such an extent that
the car tilted back in place and the
men working with the iron bars were
caught by them as they rolled in the
car.

compound fracture of one of his legs,
the bones being crushed. He was tax
