Division ENGINEER
MEETS council

All details relating to carrying the
Church street sewer through under the
tracks of the P. & r. and the d. L.
& W. railroad companies have now
practically been arranged and unless
there is delay in the further shipment
of pipe the sewer will be completed
during the present month.
G. ]. Ray. division engineer Of the
d. L. & W. railroad company, was In
this city yesterday morning and met
the street and bridge committee of
council, going with the latter care.
fully over the ground at the Church
street crossing where the sewer will
have to go through under the track.
The d. L. g. W. railroad company ct
no time showed any antagonism to the
mere proposition to carrying the sewer
through under the track; the only ques-
tion seemed to be whether the I'm.
provement was one, whose cost should
be borne by the railroad company or
the borough of Danville. At the meet.
ing yesterday, at which the borough
was represented by Messrs. Vastine.
Jacobs, Bedea and Hughes, it was ar
ranged that the d. l.. g. W. people
should proceed to lay the pipe, which
will be OF iron twenty-four inches In
diametre, leaving the question as to
who shall pay the bill to be determin
ed later. If it is discovered that the
changing of the water course, which
makes the new sewer necessary, re.
bounds to the railroad company's ad
vantage, then the latter will unhesit-
atingly assume the cost. That tho
railroad company will be benefited the
committee on streets and bridges
thinks it demonstrated yesterday.
Superintendent Turk of the P. & r.
railway was in this city a few days
ago and with the committee on streets
and bridges went over the ground at
the Bloom street crossing, where the
sewer also will have to be carried
through underneath the track. The P.
& r. people regard the improvement
in its relation to them as very valu-
able one and will do the work at their
own expense, sinking "a inch iron pipe
The section to be laid by each of the
railroad companies will be some twen-
ty-four feet in length

Big Bag of Game.

One of the largest hauls of game
that has come to town this season was
brought in last evening by Robert Y.
Gearhart, of this city, and Harry
Weaver, of Toby Run Hollow, who
with couple of friends were cunning
on the mountains near Sonestown for
a couple of days past. The big bag Of
game consisted of twenty-six pheas-
ants and ten rabbits, all of which were
displayed at NJ. H. Schram's 8 store last
evening. The fine haul made by Mr.
Gearhart and party, so far as known,
has been exceeded only once in Mon
tour county this season and that was
by the record breaking luck Of Harry
Billmeyer and party, recently reported
in these columns. These gentlemen. 10
will be remembered, bagged 2S pheas-
ants.

WAR ON SAN
JOSE SCALE.

A. W. Stephens, the States San Jose
scale inspector, assigned to this local
ity, has just completed a most thorough
inspection of Montour county, cover
ing period of four months, and is
now arranging series of demonstra-
tions that will occupy his time until
the first of January.
Mr.. Stephens tour has been the
most thorough of any Of the can
vases of Montour county. Other in
spectors preceded him in the work
here, but until now nothing so far
reaching has been accomplished. With
the exception of Mayberry township
and u small district east and north of
Exchange, Mr.. Stephens has visited
every orchard and talked to every own
er of fruit trees in the county. 1t was
a sort of a campaign of education. The
inspector made his expeditions on
foot, and going from one farm house
to the next throughout the country, he
examined the trees for tine scale, and
finding it, as he did in most instances,
he showed it to the tree owner, told
of it's habits, its evil influences on the
tree, and how to get rid of it.
With the complete data now at his
command Mr.. Stephens is arranging
for a series of demonstrations with the
lime-sulphur wash. The demonstra-
tions will start in a few days and will
continue throughout the county until
January first. When Mr.. Stephens has
completed his list. of demonstrations
he will give it to the Morning News
for publication.
In regard to the prevalence of the
San Jose scale in Montour county, Mr..
Stephens says that there are very few
orchards in which the scale is not
noticeable to a greater or less degree.
Some weeks he found the scale in
every orchard he visited In the val.
ley east of Washingtonville, he found
the least scale. Generally speaking the
scale is most prevalent on the hills
among the young trees, and least pre-
va!ent in the valleys among the older
trees.

Bloomsbury and Berwick.

There isn't much love lost between
Bloomsbury and Berwick these days.
There was fierce rivalry between the
two towns for the election of the
president judge of this district, and
Berwick is loud in her exultation at
the outcome. Bloomsbury, on the 9TH
er hand maintains an attitude of quiet
disdain. The inscriptions on some of
the transparancies in the parade at the
Evans celebration on Monday night
reflect the sentiments of the Berwick
people. One of them read, Blooms
burg Gave Evans Majority-Nit;"
and another, "We Have the Judge,
Next the Court House. "

PLAYING Under Arc Light.

Numerous complaints are laid be-
fore the chief of police relating to the
practice INDUCED in by boys OF play
ing foot ball under the arc lig
night. What the game lacks in good
points is made up in noise and the OBJ
jectionable language and the playing
becomes quite nuisance to the neigh
borhood. Again, the arc light is ex-
posed to danger of being broken and
not infrequently damage has been done
in this way,
Chief Mincemoyer is giving atten-
tion to these youthful foot ball en-
t..usiasts, and already several teams
have been given notice to confine their
playing to daylight hours and to select
moro suitable grounds for their sport.

The arrangements had been well

The feature of the parade was the
