George w Miles and Thomas b.
Evans Friday morning returned
home from York, where they attend
cd the Grand Lodge of the knights of
Pythias, the former as member of the
Grand Tribunal and the latter as rep
resentative of Beaver Lodge No 1872.
The Grand Lodge was in session
from Tuesday morning until Thurs
day afternoon. There were about five
hundred representatives present. The
reports were uniformly encouraging
showing an increase i'll members and
Improvement in finances. The sessions
throughout were marked with harm
onious and fraternal spirit. Mr. Miles.
who had already served five years on
the Tribunal. was reappOinted for five
more.
The next annual session will be held
in McKeesport. The newly installed
Grand Chancellor is one of the rising
young men of the State and his IN
augural address was gem.
Mr.. Miles speaks very enthusiastic
ally on the bea Ity, the diversified in
dustries, the hospitality and the his
torical associations of the old town OF
York. At one spot may be found a
slab indicating the home of Benjamin
Franklin; just opposite were the head
quarters of Lafayette and nearby the
home of William Penn.

Want Bridge Started Soon.

The citizens of Nescopeck held a
meeting Thursday evening TO devise
some method by which work on the
erection of the new bridge between
that place and Berwick might be hast
ened. Because certain parties are de-
sirons of changing the location of the
bridge from its old site to place
where it will cross the ID. L. q W.
tracks in entering Berwick, the build
ing Of the structure has been held up
by the state and it now looks as though
there would be no bridge communica-
tion between Berwick and Nescopeck
before the coming of cold weather,
when the partial freezing of the river
will stop the running OF ferries and at
the same time the river will not be
safe for crossing. The situation is SER
lous, as most of the residents of Nesco-
peck work in Berwick and if they have
no communication between the two
places they will be compelled to lose
their positions

Looking Over Canal Bridge.

Engineer Doughty of the D. Il. d

day looking over the canal bridge on
Church street, which is i'll need of re-

Borough calling the railroad company s
attention to the unsafe condition of
the bridge, suggesting that it be re-
---... ss.O~V-ov uplAIA0u III UvnsufuJUIng
a culvert to take its place.
The engineers visit revealed no op-
position to this plan. 1t seems to be the
general policy pursued to replace the
bridges with culverts or to fill up
the canal entirely. The engineer took
the view that the latter plan would be
perfectly feasible here, as the canal rs
it is viewed by the railroad company
Is not public waterway and may be
dispensed with at pleasure.
The Borough's proposition was that
the railroad company construct the
mason work of the culvert, employing
the stone in the abutment and wing
walls of the present bridge. The en-
gineer yesterday did not commit him
self as to any definite action that the
railroad company might take in the
premises, but there seems to be clear
understanding that tine railroad com
pany will cooperate with the Borough
in replacing the bridge with a culvert
of some sort, the Borough furnishing
and carting the earth to the spot and
the railroad company providing the
water way, which may be formed of
terra Gotta pipe of large dimensions.

Enormous Traffic on the Ferry.

Some idea of the enormous traffic
over the river at this place and con-
sequently the necessity of having the
bridge restored at the earliest possible
date can be formed by observing the
crowded cordition of the ferry at all
hours of the day.
correct count on Saturday last
was kept between the hours of 80 q.
IN. and 6 80 p. m, when it was found
that 201l persons and IA vehicles were
transported over the river. This, it
will be observed, is for twelve hours
only and does not include some thirty
wagons or mill employees who crossed
at an earlier hour. Ferryman Jones
last evening stated that conservative
estimate would place the average
number of vehicles which cross the
river by ferry daily at threa hundred.
No one will imagine that the single
ferryman on duty at one time in hand
ing tins enormous aggregate of peo-
pie and teams has any thing like a
sinecure Of it, There are innumerable
details to look after. The ferry boat
must be kept from grounding at the
landings, the teams must be disposed
about the boat in such way that the
ferry may be loaded TO the best advan-
tage while when the water is low it
requires constant eycrtion to keep the
ferryboat moving. The fidelity of tho
two ferrymon. their care and good |
manpg cement is we'll attested by the |
steady service rendered by the ferry
and the fact that not an accident in
the least serious has occurred on the
boat during the whole summon.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS
At DANVILLE

A conference relating to freight

Tuesday between the leading officials
of the p. q r. and the ID. L.W. Rail
roads. Much of the carrying done
for several of the industries of the
town involves the transterTence OF
cas-. 1t is important, therefore, that
the two railroad companies have a
thorough understanding in the mat
ter. which naturally involves full
knowledge of switches and the size
and location of sidings
Danville yesterday was, therefore,
selected as a place for the conference
so that the officials could 60 carefully
over the ground and arrive at an esti-
mate of the track facilities.
The officials of each railroad arrived
about one O'Clock in a special train.
The d L. & W. officials comprised the
following: T. f. Clark, General Su'

The P. & r. contingent consisted OF
about the same number of officials.

during which the officials personally

Coal Digger,s Slow Passage.

Gross e. Rishler of Northumberlanp
passed up the river with their coal
digger Monday enroute for Cata-
wissa where they expect to find plenty
of river coal.
They have with them three large
scows Their trip thus far has been
beset with many difficulties and their
troubles are not over yet. They left
Northumberlaud on Tuesday of last
week and 1T was not until Sunday at
ternoon that they rounded the bend IN
the river below town. Their troubles
were all due to shoal water. They en-
countered rocks innumerable and
were aground hours at time Their
worst experience lay in attempting to
cross the rifles above the creek 5
mouth. These were struck about mid
die of the afternoon Sunday and It
and steamed up between the piers of
the river bridge.
There are many distractions further
up the river, which thev can hardly
hope to escape. At Roaring creek
there is ledge of rock extending prac-
tioally across the river, which can
scarcely be cleared by a row boat at
low water.
1t is not unlikely that the coal Dig
ger may be held up at that point un-
til rise in the river The speed of
the craft pushing the three large scows
ahead of it against the current is some
thing like half a mile an hour and al
lowing for delays it is not unlikely
that another week will be consumed
before the coal digger reaches Cata-
wissa.

CATION to the national democratic
convention, and this week he won
out at the primaries in the city of
Chicago, which will give him quite
prestige in the state Of Illinois.
The popularity of Judge Parker as

waning In the west ever since the
democratic state convention OF
New York was held. Up to the
time of that convention the public
knew nothing in regard to Mr.. Par
ker's political beliefs, and since
the convention they know still less.
He has made no direct statement,
but it is conceded that the resolu-
tions passed by the New York con-
vention were of his creation. These
resolutions are the greatest COM
pilation of glittering generalities
and nothingnees ever put forth to
deceive the public. There Is only
one clause in the whole platform
that any person or any party could
take exception to, and that clause
is evidently framed with purpose
to hide its real meaning. This
clause says: Corporations char
tered by the state must be subject
to just regulation by the state in
the interest of the people" Does
this mean that the federal courts
have no Jurisdiction over corpora
tions chartered in q state even
though those corporations may be
doing an interstate business? ? Does
it mean that congress should not
legislate for the control of corpo-
rations, but that corporations are
only "subject to regulation by the
state in which they were charter.
ed? This is the old states right
view, but it is not shared by many
people Of the west, not even by the
old line democrats, and hence it il
not strange that the democrats o
the west are looking upon Mr.. Par
ker's candidacy with some suspic
ion. Had the supreme court up

merger case the people of the nortl
west would still be humble suppl
