instituted suit against the Cumber-
land and Pennsylvania Railroad
for forfeiture of charter. The Bal
tjmore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany runs its trains over the Cum
berland and Pennsylvania tracks
from Mount Savage Junction into
the city of Cumberland.
In its opinion, the court holds
that all coal hauled from Pennsyl-
vania or West Virginia through
Maryland is under the control of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, and that any state legislation
with attempt at interference is un-
constitutional. The court further
stated that the act attempting to
make the Cumberland and Penn
sylvania control the freight rates
of the Baltimore and Ohio, over
which the former road has no con-
troll.
In its opinion the court states:
"What we deem the important
question in the case is whether the
commerce clause of the Constitu-
ton Of the United States makes
this statute invalid. The act shows
on its face that its object is to
change the freight rates on coal to
be shipped 10 tidew alter points. 1t
could have been complied with
either by increasing the rate from
points in Pennsylvania and West
Virginia IS cents per ton, 50 as to
make it the same as now charged
on the two roads from Allegany,
by reducing the rate in Allegany
county mines to tidewater IS cents.
Undoubtedly any coal shipped
from West Virginia or Pennsyl-
vania over the Baltimore and Ohio
to tideWater is interstate traffic and
any coal shipped from any points
on the Chesapeake and Potomac
over the Baltimore and Ohio to
tidewater is also. That which
goes over the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac to Piedmont certainly be-
comes interstate traffic when it
crosses the Potomac River at Pied
mont, even if it could be question
ed whether it was while still in
Maryland but on It's way to West
Virginia. 1t is then carried
thro West Virginia for six miles or
more, into Maryland for about %
miles until it reaches North
Branch, east Of Cumberland, and
then, after being in West Virginia
for about 90 miles, is again in
Maryland for 50 or more miles,
when it reaches tideWater. That
which the defendant delivers at
the eastern end of the line to the
Baltimore and Ohio goes through
Cumberland to North Branch, and
then on, as shown above, to tide
water.
NO one can doubt at this day
that coal delivered by the c. & P.
to the B. & O, to be shipped to
tidewater is subject to the control
of the interstate commerce, and
while the control Of states over
their own corporations may some
times seem to be too much limited
it is easy to see what utter con-
fusion would prevail i'll a country
like ours if the control Of such
matters was left to the various
states. There can be no doubt
that the act of 1906 does under
take to regulate rates or interstate
traffic.
The effect of it would be not

Crucifxion was abolished by
Constantine, out of sacred regard
for the cross as the instrument of
the Savior's passion. Thus for
fifteen centuries the world has been
rid of this cruelest mode of capital
punishment. And the spread of
the humanizing Gospel has re-
duced to the minimum the pain
and indignities of those who must
suffer the extreme penalty.

Nifty that the story of the cross
is destined to go into all Language

tongues of conquest, culture, and
colloquy.
The sovereign power of redeem

gloom of Calvary. AS the hours

Divinity of his fellow-sufferer
dawns upon the mind of the NAL
efactor. 1t pains him to hear the
continued railing of his comrade
in crime. He chides him, remind

condemnation, and affirming the
guiltlessness Of Jesus. To eve of
faith there opens to him blissful
vista beyond the chasm of death.
He recognizes the sufferer, spite
of His married visage, as monarch
of that realm. In the strength of
a belief that prompts to action, he
Joins his fortunes irreyOCablv with
those of the crucifed Nazarene,
and entreats recognition when He
comes to the regal splendors of His
coronation.
What Jesus did then, He has
been doing ever since. He opened
paradise to a penitent. But His
obedience unto death, even to the
death of the cross, was the key,
and the only one, to unlock that
paradise.
Nature, as if become sentient on
account Of the Incompatible trag-

In that darkness, the seventh

Found in PltiabIe Condition.

John Snyder, of Danville, is in the
hospital in Lock Haven in pitiable
condition as the result of an accident
which befell him at Farrandsville
Monday, says the Lock Haven Express.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Snyder was
found in clump of bushes a short
distance east of the station by the
work train crew from Lock Haven. He
was in helpless condition and when
picked up he said that he had been
struck by train sometime Monday.
He was unable to attract attention
and could not move as he was badly
hurt and his sufferings during the
night must have been frightful.
His face is badly bruised and 'acer,
ated, one ear is severely cut ana he is
otherwise seriously injured. He was
taken to Lock Haven on the work
train to the hospital, where his injur-
les were dressed. He is only conscious
at times and tells an incoherent story.
He says he left Remove Saturday even
ing but it is not known whether he
was struck by train or attempted to
jump from a train. He is aged about
30 years and is in very precarious
condition. 1t is feared that he will
not recover, as he may be injured in.

in the region of the stomach, and the
physicians at the hospital yesterday
afternoon were unable to make a thor

Township High Schools.

The growth of the township high
school idea throughout the counties of
the State has been very gratifying to
many people interested in educa-
tion and it is good to note that there
is a prospect of schools of that type
being organized in Montour county.
The township high school fills an
important place in education in the
rural districts, for it brings the ad-
vantage of higher education to COM
munities whose young people would
otherwise have to go to normal or
private schools or else take course of
study at home, which too frequently
the student can not afford. The State
makes liberal appropriation for such
schools, and if they increase in num-
per will be still more generous. Their
cost to the district wherein they are
situated is small considering the good
they do and it is to be hoped that
township high schools will speedily
be organized in Montour county

The men are laying lines for the

for the coupling pin broke and the fiat
car started backwards down a steep
incline for the park
The brakes were unavailing to stop

men had to jump for it. One by one

all except Maiers who, either too terri
fled to move, or thinking it safer to
hang on, stayed with the truck until
it crashed into the platform. He was
violently thrown to the ground and

AWARDED CONTRACT

The contract for painting the exteri-
or of the court house was awarded to
S. W. Armes on Saturday last at a
regular meeting of the county COM
missioners, at which the full board
consisting of Leighow, Cook and Sech-
Ter was present.
1t was decided that the court house
be painted stone color light and dark
in shade. The brick work and the cor
ners will be given three coats; the
woodwork-cupola, cornice and win
dow frames-will receive two coats.
The building will be given its first
coat as soon as Mr.. Armes can get
ready for the work.
Fine progress was reported i'll the
repainting of the iron bridges through
out the county. the contract for which
work is held by Benjamin Cock. OF
the sixty odd bridges in Montour coun-
ty, forty are iron bridges and these
are being painted black, graphite paint,
the same as employed on the river
bridge, at this place, being employed.
According to Saturdays report Mr..
Cook had finished fourteen bridges.
The county bridges are also being
replanked where necessary. While
here and there only few planks are
needed at the majority of the places
nearly the entire flooring has to be re-
newed
The county commissioners took final
action on the proposition to install a
lavatory in the cellar of the court
house abolishing the out building on
the lawn and the closet on the second
story. This improvement. which was
recommended by the grand jury the
week before last, has been contemplat-
ed by the board of commissioners for
some time past. 1t was decided on
Saturday to go on with the work.

Arrested for Shooting Frogs.

1t would seem that there are persons
who have not learned that it is illegal
to capture bull.frogs at this season of
the year. Two young fellows of town
were arrested by local officers Tues
day, for shooting frogs in the canal
below town. The disposition of the
case is still pending.
The act of April 8, 1908, makes it
unlawful to catch, take or kill any
bull frogs only from the first day of
July to the first day of November and
imposes a fine of twenty-five dollars
for each and every offense, which
shall be payable to the school district
in which such offense is committed
and may be sued for and recovered be-
fore any alderman or justice of the
peace of the proper county.
The old canal with its swampy bot
tom affords an excellent breeding
place for bull frogs, many of which
attain great size. 1t is a well known
fact that large numbers are taken
from the canal during the closed sea-
son. 1t has seldom happened. however,
that persons have been so bold as to
go after the frogs with gun in the
day time. Chief Mincemoyer thought
that the offenders in this case were
proper ones to make an example of,
hence the arrest. The men arrested put
up the plea that they can not pay the
fine and the officers are holding the
case under advisement for a few days.
