the Borough and that it give bond for
the faithful carrying out of its agree
ment as to making the change of rail.
1t was only by requiring a bond, he
said, that Council could justify itself
before the public in receding from its
position and permitting the use of the
rail decided against at the previous
meeting.
MIR. Yetter objected to al extra bond,
but stated that he was willing to give
guarantee in some other way. At his
suggestion the following condition was
added to the bond just accepted, which
was regarded as satisfactorily covering
the ground
That the Danville and Sunbury
Street Railway Company its successors
and assigns shall remove the rails now
laid on any section OF Market street
and replace the same with the same
style and weight rail as is now on
Mill street upon ten days notice when
said Borough of Dsnville by ordinance
duly enacted decides to pave that sec
tion of said Market street. "
On motion of Mr.. Sweisfort it was
ordered that after the above condition
be added TO the bond the Danville and
Sunbury Street Railway Company be
permitted to begin the laying of its
track at the eastern end of Market
street and to proceed as proposed, lay
ing the rail that is on the ground.
On motion of Mr.. Reifsnyder, sec
onded by Mr.. Magill the Secretary was
instructed to notify the Danville and
Bloomsbury Street Railway Company
to plank its track at the curve at A
and Bloom streets.
On motion of Mr.. Goeser the con-
tract for sewer pipe was awarded to j.

CORTELYOU SAID TO
HAVE ACCEPTED JOB

WASHINGTON,M May 8. 3.-Postmsster
General Cortelyou is said to have &C
cepted the offer of the Presidency of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
in spite of the unofficial denials that
have been made. AS President Alex
ander has not yet resigned the offer
was made to Mr. Cortleyou only in a
tentative way and his acceptance was
of course. made conditional upon Mr..
Alexander's retirement, and upon the
offer coming to him with the authority
of the directorate.
Although the salary in the future
will probably be 500. 200 which has
been paid the Equitable presidency n
times gone by, it will probably be sew
eral times as large as that of cabinet
officer and Mr.. Cortelyou who is a
comparatively poor man would doub bt-
less find it hard to put it aside. Mr..
Cortelyou is said to be acceptable to
both factions in the fight for control
and is warmly backed by such men as
II. O. Frick and Elihu Root.

IN FAVOR OF
VACATING
lContinued from First Page. /

Point township. Many persons on
their way to town driving timid horses
would like to use the river road to es-
cape the cars aud the Reading Iron
Works ;alsO farmers who have business
on West Market or West Mahoning
street by using that road are able to-
save a mile. We're the road vacated he,
would not give within - per cent. of
what the land would be worth if it
had an outlet
Joseph W. Keely vas called to the
stand. He has known the road for
fifty years. He confirmed the prsced-
ing witnesses as to the uses and neces-
sity for the road as we'll ~ to the de-
probation properties WOULD suffer if
it were closed
w. A. SheppersOn. the owner of
farm abutting on the old road, was an
important witness. He declared that
vacation of the road would mean a
depreciation in value of at least one
half in all the land abutting He con-
tirmed the preceding witnesses in all
essential points that opposed the vaoa-
tion. Owing to the absence of the
bridge at theEcreek's mouth he is much
DISCONNECTED III his farm work.
Finishing mp his work at one point in
order TO get his teams to another point
one hundred feet away he is obliged
to drive, dragging his farming impIe-
ments. around over mile 'He denied
that it would be costly to restore the
old road. He, himself, would put up
bridge at the creeks mouth for $3.50
and sell the land required for a high
way 33 feet wide, at the rate of $3.50
per acre, guaranteeing the road for ten
years. Not more than an acre would
be required to restore what is washed
away.
The last and the only witness called
by the township was Engineer George
". West. He has known the road for
fifty years. He described the extent
to which the river cuts into the shore
and stated that the last road located
lies 30 or 40 feet out in the river: He
referred to records ana showed that
the old river road was first built in
1880. Owing to the inroads of the riv-
er it vas changed successively in 1882,
in 1919. in 1866, III 1878, and in 1898
To rebuild the road in its old location
would be costly ,necesstating retain
ing wall and heavy fill for at least
half mile. 1t would be necessary to
reconstruct bridge. which should be
on a new site. Conceding the neces-
sity of the road he would recommend
applying to Court for d relocation, Ie-
construction being too burdensome.
Without argument the matter was
submitted to the viewers, who III
short time arrived at decision, set.
ting forth that they had viewed the
road and that they are of the opinion
that the same has become useless, in
convenient and burdeusome and that
it therefore ought TO be vacated.
The board of viewers was composed
or d. f. Gouger, James f. Ellis and
Matthew Sheep.

Charles BattagIia is Acquitted

Charles Battaglia, the we'll known
Italian PadTone. who has had troubles
of his own for some months past, yes
terday was acquitted of assault aud
battery in the Bloomsbury court.
Charlie, whose Italian laborers have
been working about Danvile for a
year past and who himself is almost a
daily visitor here, was very happy over
the verdict last evening.
Battaglis, the proprietor of saloon
in West Berwick, was charged with
shooting another foreigner named
Demike on the night of Dece mber 18th.
Demike testified that Battaglia put
him out of the saloon and while eject
ing him drew revolver and shot him
in the left leg near the hip. He was
badly hurt and was taken to the Haz.
Teton Hospital where he has been most
of the time since. Under rigid cross
examination by Mr.. Scarlet he stuck
to his story.
Charles Battaglia, the first witness
called and defendant in the cast, testi Fl e
ed that he closed his bar on the 17th
of December at about 10 minutes of ~
All his patrons left the place except
Demike and his three companions
Just before he had counted the money
and took it from the cash register
Demike then at once asked for a glass
of beer, which the witness refused say
ing that ne would give none after
twelve o'clock. Demike then came up
to him; grabbed him by the coat and
said he wanted some of th3 money.
Demike then reached his hand in the
witness pocket to get the paper money
which he had there. The other men
jumped on hIm and in the scuffle Bat
taglia grabbed his revolver. Il said :
" Now go.notlling has happened yet
Demike then came at me with knife
or a razor, and said he wouldn't go
until he had cut my throat He con-
tinued to come on and | shot him in
the leg | shot low and didn't intend
to kill him.
Battaglis's story seemed to 90 with
the jurymcn and they acquitted him.
