Will rIeet at Harrisburg,

The convention of the delegates to
the diocesan convention of the Epis-
copal diocese of Harrisburg will no
doubt be held in Harrisburg early in
February for the election of a bishop
to take the place which was so reluct-
antly declined by Rev. DR.. William
T. Manning, Of New York city. The
arrangements for this gathering will
be made by the standing committee of
the diocese of which Rev. DR.. Charles
Morrison, of Sunbury, is the chairman.
This standing committee will prob
ably be called together within a few
days by the chairman, and if present
hopes are realized this convention will
be held in Harrisburg. The invitation
from that city for the next annual
convention to be held there was ac-
cepted at Lancaster, and Harrisburg
is favored for such meetings, because
of its central location and railroad
facilities.
The declnation of DR.. Manning fol-
lowing upon his election to the assist
ant rectorship of Trinity Church, has
again opened the discussion of candid
ates for the b1shopric and there are
many men mentioned. Almost all of
the large cities of the diocese have
men who are spoken of as candidates,
and in some places there is disposl
ton to unite upon men inside of the
diocese.
The convention will be special
meeting, at which the only business
will be the election of bishop, all
other matters having been attended to
at the Lancaster meeting.

TO TAKE A CHANGE
IN GOOD ROADS LAW

State Highway Commissioner Hunt
er will make an effort at the coming
session of the Legislature to secure the
passage of bill amending the road
law of 1908 so as to make 1t obligatory
on the part of supervisors to give their
approval when a majority of the prop
erty owners along a proposed road have
petitioned for the improvements.
Under the present law the supervis-
ors of a township can use their own
judgment in approving an Applicant on
for a stretch OF good road, and unless
they do so the road cannot be con-
structed.
Governor Pennypsoker is said to fav-
or the change and it is expected the
bill will be among the first TO be pass.

A New SWindle.

Don't be victimized by this new
swindle. 1t is a clever one and unless
you are posted you might easily be
taken in ny it. A stranger recently
appeared at the hotel of John West
over, at Garments Mills, Cambria
county, and stated that he had been
without food and money for two days.
He was taken,to the dining room and
told to eat all he wanted. When he
finished the meal he drew his hand
kerchief from mis- pocket and $50
note fell on the floor. The waitress
picked it up and gave it to Westover,
who was sngered by the attempt to
fleece him. Westover deducted rs cents
for the meal and handed over $l9. %,
which the man took and departed. Not
long afterward Westover found the
bill to be counterfeit.

Another Victim.

Squire Dalton was another victim
of icy sidewalks, Wednesday night.
After stepping out of his Office to come
up street, he discovered that he had
left some papers on his desk that he
needed. He turned quickly to retrace
his steps, and his feet just as quickly
slipped from under him. His back
struck the sidewalk in no gentle man
ner, and his hat landed half way across
the street. He escaped serious injury.
bot was considerably Jared by the
sudden impact with the sidewalk.

destroyed by fire last week, collapsed

police of the locality say that many
persons were asleep in the hotel when
the tons of brick Numbered down up
on the structure, tearing it like an egg
shell.
The building was reduced to heap
of ruins in the twinkliug of an eye.

totte-ing remnants of the Peck build
ing and before warning could be con-
veyed 10 the patrons of the places in
