Suit Club Illegal Lottery.

Judge Wilson, in quarter sessions
court No. at Philadelphia, has de-
cided that suit clubs, wherein mem
bers pay 81 a week and draw once a
week for suit of clothes, the lucky
drawer not having to make any future
payments, are illegal lotteries within
the meaning of the laws of Pennsyl-
vania and have no right to exist.
The court reached this decision in
the case of George f. Pointer, tail
or, who organized one OF these clubs
several months ago An agent for the
Merchant Tailors exchange swore out
a warrant before a magistrate for the
mans arrest.
Wishing TO make test case OF the
matter, and being uncertain of the law
himself, the magistrate held the de-
fendant III his own recogniZance and
returned the case TO court.
At the trial of the case there was no
denial of any of the facts concerning
the clubs existence.
When Judge Wilson was asked for
binding instructions in favor Of the
defendant, he refused and said that
there was evidence of an illegal lottery
and he would so charge the jury which
brought in "A verdict of guilty.

A Workman'S Cold Bathe.

Samuel Sainsbury, one of the men
employed at the new suspension bridge,
yesterday received a ducking in the
waters of Mahoning creek. Mr.. Sains-
bury did not come near drowning; the
feature of the story lies i'll the manner
in which he happened to receive his
cold bath
The bridge being practically COM
pleted Mr.. Keefer ordered that all the
odds and ends of timber be removed
from the spot to the cinder tip whence
it could be conviently carted away. In
gathering up the material "A raft used
in crossing the stream during the first
stages of the work was employed. A
rope was stretched across the creek a
few feet above the surface of the wat
er, which the men held onto while
crossing backward and forward with
the raft. Mahoning creek rose con-
siderably during Tuesday night and
the current yesterday morning was
very strong, a fact lost sight of by the
men.
Mr.. Sainsbury was making his first
trip. Standing upon the raft he was
drawing it along by means of the cable
or rope All went we'll until he reach
ed mid stream and struck the strong
current, when in an instant the raft
was swept out from under his feet and
he was left with the cable for a sup
port His insecure hold. however,
proved a poor thing to depend upon
and the man took a plunge into the
| icy water The stream at that point
is ten feet deep and good deal of
/ concern was felt for the man who was
dressed i'll heavy clothing and rubber
boots. His presence of mind and agil-
itv, however, saved him; for before he
was swept from the spot he grasped
the cable, which kept him from being
carried down stream until he was re-
scued

Special Meeting of Council.

The borough council held a special
meeting last night for the purpose Of
considering some matters relative to
the reconstruction of North Mill street
under the Sproul good road act Of
Nav l., 1905. The following members
were present: Boyer. Nastine, Dietz,
Jacobs, Angle, Finnigan, Hughes and
Bedea. Borough Solicitor +. 5. Gear
hart was also present.
Mr.. Gearhart last week took trip
TO Harrisburg in the interest of obtain
ing State aid for the reconstruction of
Mill street He presented report last
night describing his interview with
State Highway Commissioner Hunter
Although Danville made application
last fall it was learned that several
other applicants were ahead OF US,
which NAV occasion some delay. Mr..
Gearhart, however, tated that the out
look is quite encouraging. Before the
next step can be taken by the State 1t
will be necessary for the borough to
comply with certain terms of the high
way department, which were fully de-
scribed by Mr.. Gearhart The highway
department, however, asks nothing un-
reasonable and everything will no
doubt 90 on swimmingly. The only
unfortunate feature is that little de-
lay may occur, as the highway com
missioner owing to prior applications
does not think that he can send the
engineer corps here until after the
| first of June.

Officers After the Boys.

1t is hard to tell what form of mis-
chief the boys Will get at next The
suspension bridge has not yet been
wholly completed but the Youngsters
have already taken hold of it and if
something is not done they will have
1t ruined before it leaves the builders
hands.
A single visit to the bridge sutficed
to reveal to the boys that the structure
owing to the manner in which it neces-
sarily says can easily be made to swing
and thereby afford them any amount
Of sport, according to their idea of fun.
The consequence is that the moment
the wOrkmen are out of the way the
boys take possession Of the bridge and
it is kept in continual motion. \
group Will walk out to the middle of
the bridge where they can the most
easily impart to it a swinging motion.
The bridge is made to do its very best
and is strained to the utmost. The
spectacle Of a valuable piece of prop
erty being ruined to crafty the malic-
ious spirit of a lot OF unruly boys is
not at all pleasing one.
Chief Mincemoyer started after the
boys last night and he will continue
the crucade today. The first Hboys
caught swinging the bridge will be
severely dealt with.

HobOes Store of PrOyender.

Three jolly hoboes arrested while
picnicking near the Reading iron
works yesterday, spent last night in
the lookup. This morning they will
be permitted to go on their way, but
the particular way they select must
lead out of town.
Two of the fellows are umbrella
men, which by the way does not re-
lieve them from suspicion of being
tramps; the third man was at one time
a blacksmith employed at the big mill,
but who nevertheless comes in with
the same category as his fellows.
The trio of wearies between two and
three O'Clock sought sheltered spot
near the offices of the Reading iron
works, kindled fire and began to pre-
IJssEU IIrUStL. touCn q aloCbdGIe oI IHuO-
lence seemed out of place in the shadow
of II big industry where WORK may be
had for the asking and at the instance
of the superintendent the Chief of Po-
lice went down to the spot and took
the hoboes into custody. The fellows
had with them a bottle still partly fill
ed with precious liquid, which had the
odOr Of the genuine article distilled
from rye They were much chagrined
and became quite boisterous as they
denounced the watchman at the mill,
whom they accused of causing their
arrest.
Leaving the fire blazing behind them
they sadly turned and wended their
way to the lookup. 1t was an anus
ing spectacle The bottle was out of
sight, but the men had with them be-
sides an assortment of component parts
of many different umbrellas, a loaf of
bread, a large piece of side meat and
about half peck of potatoes. All
these things went with them into the
lookup.
The hOboes made the best of the
slight interruption and on arriving
at the lookup the preparations for
supper went on. The heating stove
took the place of the outdoor fire, and
the coal shovel was not a bad substi-
tute for frying pan. Long before dark
the savory odors of cooked bacon were
detected in the vicinity of the bastile.
1t is one of the few instances on rec
ord when the inmates of the lookup
furnished and cooked their own meals.
