Weather Report by Telephone.

The United Telephone Company has
arranged to give the farmers of the
State the weather report daily, this
fact, which is of state interest. being
announced for the first at this time.
At the meeting of the State Grange
at Sunbury this matter was left in the
hands of William T. Greasy and Mr..
Porter, Of Williamsport, with the re-
quest that they take it up with the
Bell and Independent companies. A
letter was received Friday by Mr..
Greasy from the United Telephone
Company in which he was informed
that the company would be glad to
furnish the information to the patrons.
The details Of the plan have not vet
been arranged. but the probabilities
are that at certain hour each day the
operators at central points through the
state will ring up the various subscrib
ers, the ring denoting that it is the
weather. ring and all who care to
get the weather report can then come
on the line
This plan has been successfully fol-
lowed in the west, but is new to the
east

Murderer Goes Insane.

His mind complete wreck, James
Salerno is pacing his steel cage in the
Lycoming county jail at Williamsport,
raving maniac. The long confne-
ment has broken down his health and
Saturday the first symptoms of mental
decay were noticed. Saturday night
DR.. Shaw, the Jail physician, was call
ed, and after working with him for
several hours he announced that the
prisoner was hopelessly insane. His
eyes wild and his entire frame shaking
violently, Salerno alternately imagines
that he is feeding and counting chick
ems, and that some one is in his cell
with butcher knife, trying TO get at
him. He screams with fear, crouching
in the corner of his cell, most pitt
able object.
The authorities Will undoubtedly
take prompt action to have Salernos s
case passed upon by commission, and
the date of his execution postponed.
The County Commissioners, when in
formed of the turn matters had taken,
were inclined to take action, but after
having talk with Solicitor Strieby,
decided that it was not their duty to
do so. Mr.. Strieby says that it is up
to Salerno's counsel to take the case to
the pardon board or the supreme court
As SalernO's friends found it impossi-
bic to raise funds for this purpose be-
fore, there is not much reason to think
that it would be done now. When Mr..
Bentley, who defended Salerno at his
trial, was asked about the matter he
said that he knew nothing of it and
refused to talk about what might be
done.
Sheriff Riddell said that if others
failed to take the necessary steps, he
would do SO himself, for humanitys
sake He is convinced beyond all
doubt that the condemned man is in
sane, and he will do everything in his
power to prevent the sentence being
carried out, at least until the matter
can be thoroughly investigated.

THE COUNTY
TAX RATE

At the regular meeting of the Couu-
ty Commissioners on Saturday it was
decided to fix the tax rate at 80 mills
for the present year This is the same
as it was last year The tax rate pre-
viOus to 1908 was 3 mills.
The increase was rendered necessary
TO assist in meeting the extraordinary
expenditures, which the County Com
missioners were obliged to face as the
result Of food conditions, which took
away the bridge. In addition to the
sum of $4,000, Montour County's share
Of the cost of the new bridge, there
was an item of 81, 1872 for erecting and
operating the free ferry, which the
commissioners had to pay. Over and
above these was the cost of street paw
ing, 1854. 90, and of concrete steps and
pavement at the Court House, $3.50 =
90, both of which items the county
had to pay.
All of the above expenditures came
i'll the most unexpected way and had
to be met. 1t will be seen that the ad-
dItiOnal funds tS2500) realized by the
increase of taxation has gone only a
small way toward liquidation of the
extra expense.
During the present year the Court
Honse and several County bridges will
Lave to be repainted and the Court
House grounds will have to be graded.
By economical management, however,
the County Commissioners expect to
be able to meet all running expenses
and reduce Indebtedness.
The annual statement just printed is
worth perusal. Three years ago the
liabilities in excess of the assets were
81, 5l2. O6. The present statement of
the county shows the liabilities in ex-
cess of assets to be So, 800 10, a reduc-
tion in liabilities of over 50, in
three years, which is not a bad show
ing considering the extra expenditures
heaped upon the county
