POLE QUESTION
NOT SETTLED

The question of poles for the Bor-
ough Electric Light plant has not as
yet been settled. 1t has been aseer-
tanned however, that fright of
way can be obtained over poles NOW
standing Whether 1t would be for
the best interest of the Borough to ao.
cede to the terms and use these poles
or to plant others of its own is ques-
tion on which under the circumstances
there ought to be no division of opin-
| ion. The matter will come up before
Council at its meeting tomorrow
night.
TIE Standard Electric Light Com
pany makes proposition to the Bor.
ough which seems eminentIy fair and
will no doubt be accepted by Council.
1t agrees that the Borough shall have
the right and privilege to attach its
wires, cross arms, cables and fixtures
to the Light Company's poles for the
purpose of transmitting electric light
current only at height not less than
one and one-half feet below the lower
cross arm now in use on said poles,
the wires to be attached to cross arms
at distance of at least one and one
half feet from the center of pole.
The Standard Electric Light Com
pany agrees to bear the cost of main
tanning the poles thus used, stipula-
ting, however, that each party bear
the expense of maintenance or repairs
OF its own cross arms and fixtures. If
for any cause it becomes necessary to
remove any or all of said poles the
Light Company agrees to make such
removal, the expense thereof to be di-
vided and borne equally between the
parties of the first and the second
part.
The Light Company agrees to pay
license on the poles used by the Bor-
ough, stipulating, however, that the
license or tax on poles or any of the
property of the Light Company, ex-
cept real estate, shall not be increased
during the term of agreement.
The Standard Electric Light Com
pany asks that the Borough agree 10
pay a rental on all poles thus used Of
sixty cents per annum during the
term of the agreement, payable in ad
vance on the first day Of November of
each year for each aud every pole
used by the Borough
The conditions proposed provide
that each party agree to save the
other party harmless from any and all
loss and damage occasioned by its cur
rent. or bvg the arset,"r. :, e1|'a-rtvi5- -eo
keep its wires properly insulated and
to reimburse the other party for all
damage, cost and expense incurred By
them by reason of any negligence OF
employees.
The term of the agreement is ten
wears. The poles which the Stand
ard Electric Light Company proposes
to grant use of to the Borough are To-
Gated as follows: Twenty eight poles
on Market street, thirty poles on Mill.
street, fourteen poles ON Bloom street
in addition to any other poles which
may be required, the poles to be used
Jointly by the Standard Electric
Light Company and the Borough OF
Danville
Our streets are already well filled
with poles and the thought of dupli-.
eating those already standing IN IN
stalIing the Borough plant is hardly
TO be tolerated in view of the liberal
proposition from the Standard Elec-
trio Light Company. 1t is the cheap
or course to pursue and in every re-
spect solves the problem nicely.

No Action on Oatawissa Bridge,

Contrary to expectations. Judge
Kunkle of the Dauphin County Court
failed to hand down an opinion Mon

M. DE pLEHvE AND THE RUSSIAN

THEORY.
 When a man plays with great racial passions he must take the conse. quences. M. de Pflehve understood this perfectly. For years he had gone In fear of his life. It was in a sense a game between him and his opponents; but it was a deadly game, and both he and those who opposed him knew it. He meant to kill his opponents, when they deserved 1t, ard when he had caught them with the proofs about them; and they had the same intention in regard to him, when an opportunity arrived. This is politics in Russia, It is primitive much as when Cain chased Abel--except that Abel did not seem to be up to chasing Cain. But it is titan tic, also--to crush or be crushed. There is no middle ground where men may differ and yet tolerate each other; there is no argument, no reason, in it; it is simply do my way or will make you that IS to say, it is an arbitrary will. backed by force, on the one side, and passionate resistance on the other side "a resistance it is helpless and hope ISSS TSSlStdIICcss 4.'sssE .
 Of course there!is a point of view for Russian statemen of this type-atld outside of Count Lamsdorff and M. de Witte they are almost all of this type. This point of view is most perfectly represented by M Pobedonostseff. It is true that M. Pobedonostseff is essen- tially, in mind and feeling though not in status, a priest as well as a poiiti- clan. and this may make difference; it often happening that a political cler- ic gets his political ideas so mixed up with his divine pretensions that 1t is hard to say where he draws the line between the two, M. Pobedonostseff, however, conceals these divine preten- sions very well, even if he sometimes feels that they give additional sanction and authority to his political views conceals them so well, in fact, that we

that seemed impossible.
When he re-entered the Office he was
his same calm, resolute self and had
made up his mind to ding his defiance
in the very teeth of Fate.
Early in the afternoon" the coming
Of Mrs. Gorton and Miss Avery was
announced by the clerk Darrell was
in his room and went at once to the
public parlor on the second floor.
The two ladies were alone In the
apartment and were seated near a
window overlooking the street One
was rather stout and with a tinge of
gray in her dark hair; the other was
young, slender and with face Of rare
loneliness.
Both rose and turned toward Darrell
as he entered. The elder advanced a
step.

swered with bow.
81 am Mrs. Gorton," went on the
elder lady, presenting her hand with
a cordial smile, land my companion is
my niece, Miss Avery"
There was settled sadness in Miss
Avery's face which touched Darrell to
the heart and made him ashamed of
the part he was playing. The difficult
ties of his assumed role were to COM
mence with this moment, as he knew
full well.
He barely touched Miss Avery's small
white hand

here and are very grateful to Mr.. Orms-
by for directing us to YOU
!, They resumed their seats and Darrell
drew chair near and excused himself
while he read the communication from
Ormsby. The envelope was sealed
which Darrell accounted strange If i.
contained simply a letter of introduce
ton.
| AS he read, the eyes of the two la
dies stole furtively to his face. They
were not prepared for the sudden

Darrell FACES THE ISSUE.

Darrell FACES THE ISSUE.
There was a sole-leather trunk in
McCIoud's room 1t was locked but q
small key ring in a pocket of the cor
duroys held key that gave access to
It.
No papers were found There were
two suits of clothes-both of the best
Nuality-a supply of clean linen, era
kats and other things usually found in
gentleman's wardrobe
Darrell closed the trunk disappoint-
eddy and carried his search through the
closet and dresser drawers. There was
nothing there, all McClouds belong
ings, apart from what he had taken
been put away in the trunk
The Fastener had told the clerk he
Intended to return on the morrow, but
It was perfectly evident that he had
Imagined he might be detained much
longer. Had he left Anaconda with the
deliberate intention of destroying him
self?
When he went down stairs to dinner
Darrell was revolving this question in
his mind. In the afternoon he read an
account of his death in daily paper
and gave diligent attention to the grue-
some details
1t was a long article and began with
an account of the murder of Sturgis,
the arrest of Darrell and his night es-
cape from the Sandy Bar Jail, Then
followed a summing up of all the
known facts connected with the ex-
plosion on the War Eagle trail.
Nothing new was brought forward
but the author of the account was not
doubter for he dwelt exhaustively
On the vicarious methods Of justice and
pointed the whole affair with moral
Next morning another paper had
more to say on the subject. Sheriff
Scatterly had returned from the hills
after personal investigation and gave
it as his opinion that the escaped MUIR
derer had been hurled into eternity
in substantially the manner described
by the men from Sandy Bar.

sowder That explained the arrival OF
the runaway team, practically unin-
iured, at the War Eagle mine
Abner Gryce had been thrown from
the wagon when it took the turn, but
the murderer had stayed with it. Con-
sequently there was but one inference
to be drawn.
Thus far Darrell read with amused
indifference. The paragraphs that fol-
lowed, however, startled him and filled
him with CONSERVATION.
The report went on to state that
Scatterly, in returning from the War
Eagle mine, had had a communication
handed to him at the Half Way house.
Usually he took no notice of anony-
nous letters, but in this particular
case he had made an exception.
The communication mad requested
him to call at Kansas Joe's old cabin
in Lost Horse coulee. He had gone
there but, aside from evidences that
the hut had been recently used, he had
found nothing and no one. The letter
was, therefore, looked upon as hoax
and Scatterly's aversion for unsigned
messages was intensified.
Darrell threw aside the paper, lighted
cigar and leaned back, in his chair.
A throbbing fear was leaping along
his nerves.
The cabin empty! Had Scatterly
made mistake and gone to the wrong
place?
While possible this was hardly prob
able. Yet, If the sheriff had made no
mistake in the cabin, what had become
of McCloud?
Darrell got up and walked out of the
hotel into the cooler air. His situa-
,, ton had become greatly complicated
and the issue confronting him was
very trying even to his iron nerves.
Should he retreat? he asked himself
1t would be easy to close his account
at the hotel and proceed to some other
part of the country.
But to do that he must abandon his
| designs against Murgatroyd. Murga-
troyd, the real murderer, would be left
immune by barrels withdrawal from
| the scene.
That was the point that decided the
fugitive He would face the issue, hop.
ing that Scatterly had made some mis-.
take. hoping that no interruption would
