Danville Wins From Shamokin

An excellent game of basket ball
was witnessed at the armory last even
ing by small crowd. The Danville
team played all around their opponents
from Shamokn and defeated them by
a score of 40 to 26.
1t was a good game from start to
finish, and there were no dull mo-
ments. The Danville boys played in
their old time style, passing the ball
very we'll and shooting baskets accur-
ately. They did not have walk over
with the Shamokin tossers, however,
for the visitors, too. put up an excel
lent article of ball. but didn't seem
able to connect. The ball most of the
time was in Shamokin's territory.
Price and Gilmore, of Bloomsbury,
we're valuable additions to the local
lineup. One of the features of the
game was the fact that the Danville
players we're always close after the
ball, and the one man playing that has
marred so many of the games on the
local floor was not noticeable in last
nights contest.
Danville lined up as follows: For
wards, johnson Z Gilmore 4; center.
Price guards, Russell 1, Sechler 8.
Shamokin's lineup: Forwards, Kase'
man. Clayberger 8; center, Rhoades
guards, Shoop Z, Long, Seltzer Goals
from fouls: SechleI A, Clayberger 6.
Umpire, Welliyer.

The following bills were approved
Trouble on Farmers Line

Trouble is being experienced on the
new farmers telephone line that is
being erected between Shamokin and
Elysburg, and which was spoken OF
several days ago as being in the course
of construction. The line is being
built by the Bell company and certain
of the farmers object to the contract
which they are asked to sign, and
which exempts the company from any
damages after the payment of SIC for
the privilege of planting poles along
their farms.
Some of the farmers threaten to cut
down the poles if planted along their
land. Harry Helwig, who resides in
the outskirts or Elysburg is one of the
most violent and has had large bar
ricade constructed on his farm, higher
than the wires will be strected to pre-
vent the company, from placing the
poles along the road abutting on his
land.
1t appears that the company is pay
ing but 81 to farmer for the privil-
ege of planting the poles on his farm
and that the contract in the farmers
opinion is all one sided. By the ac,.
ceptance of the dollar the farmer must
sign contract that he will not hold
the company responsible for any dam
age that might result by wires being
torn or poles falling.
That they are indignant is certain
from conversations ON the subject with
a number cf the farmers, and it looks
as though the constructing of that line
through the country will not 60 as
smoothly as js anticipated.

PRACTICAL CHARITY,

The Scranton lodge of Elks is going
to perform real Christian service ON
the coming. Christmas by presenting
suits to no less than 400 boys an girls
who would otherwise have to go with
out. 1t is a real Christmas service
which these Elks are going to observe.
As the Scranton Republican we'll says: ::
"To give suits of clothes to 400 boys
and girls whose parents are unable to
provide adequately for their children
is to be responsible for real, old fash
toned, practical charity, the kind that
warns tile heart not only of the small
boys and girls, but also of tho com
munlty where this generosity is be-
slowed. To feed the hungry and clothe
the poor in actual need, and to see
them fed by ones own hand, is about
as much satisfaction as. the average
kind-hearted person is able to grasp in
this hurryiug wsrld."

Exchange Wants Electricity.

What next at Exchange? is hard
question to answer these days, when
the minds of the people of that bustl-
ing village keep turning from one i'm
provement to another with lightning
rapidity. Now they have a scheme out
there for lighting their town with
electricity.
Some of the energetic minded citi-
zens have been watching the waste
water at the dam at the Yeagel mill,
and now have struck upon the idea OF
utilizing the waste power to run a
dynamo that will furnish more than
enough electricity to supply the needs
just at present. To think is to act at
Exchange. so there is small reason to
doubt but that they will carry their
project into execution.

Trolley Rights on Bridge Held Up.

The action Of the comm issioners of
Columbia and Luzerne counties in
awarding the trolley rights on the
new Berwick bridge to the Columbia
g. Montour electric railway company
was yesterday held up by Governor
Pennypacker, who OH application of
Attorneys John G. Harman, of Blooms
burg, and William Eastman, of Har-
risburg. representing Avery G. Sickles
and the Berwick & Nescopeck electric
railway company, decided to reopen
the entire matter, and give both sides
of the trolley question an opportunity
to present their respective cases to the
board of public buildings and grounds,
which will sit for that especial pur-
pose next Tuesday afternoon, at Har-
trisburg.
The Berwick & Nescopeck company
claims that it was not given fair op-
portunity to present it's case at the
joint meeting of the commissioners of
the two counties when the trolley
rights were considered, and that it
was not represented when the question
was taken up and ratified by The board
of public buildings and grounds Tues
day afternoon at Harrisburg. 1t claims
that the board does not rightly under
stand the position of the Berwick 81
Nescopeck company; and when the
matter was placed before the governor
yesterday he decided that the whole
affair should be re-opened and both
sides given full opportunity to present
, their cases.
The Berwick & Nescopeck people
contend that as they have the franch-
/ ises on each side of the bridge, the
commissioners had no right to give the
bridge rights to the O. & M. Co. All
the latter company could do is to put
a car on the bridge and run it back
and forth on the structure, and could
not go off at either end. They also
contend that the highway of an inter-
borough bridge belongs to the two
municipalities, and when they give
franchises for trolley road the right
to the bridge goes with it.

CERT|ORAR|
IS ISSUED

A petition for a writ of certiorari
in the case of the borough of Danville
VS.. the D. L. g. W. railroad company
was filed in the prothonotary office
at this place on Saturday.
The certiorari relates to the suit in
stituted by the borough of Danville
against the D. l.. 81 W. railroad COM
pany for running its trains through
the borough at speed exceeding eight
miles an hour, the limit provided by
the borough ordinance. The actual
rate of speed attained by the COM
pany's trains near the Reading Iron
works, it was alleged was twenty mine
miles an hour. The representatives of
the railroad company did not appear,
but Justice of the Peace Ogleshy rem
dered Judgment against the company
for twenty dollars and costs.
The petition, which is signed by II.
NJ. Hinckley and Daniel r. Reese, at
torneys for the defendant, requests the
prothonotary to issue the ecrtiorari to
w. V. osiospS iotuihhpic w hNN' t't III
of court.
The writ is applied for by Z. NJ.
Rine, superintendent of this division
of the ID. L. 81 w. system. who swears
that the defendant does not apply for
certiorari in the above case for the
purpose of delay, but that the proceed
ings proposed to be removed are to the
best of his knowledge unjust aud ill
egal and if not removed will cause the
defendant to pay more money than is
justly due.
When the D. l.. 81 W. railroad com
pany failed to appear at the hearing,
which was held on November Goth, it
was understood that it would appeal
the case for the purpose of testing the
validity of the borough ordinance re-
lating to railway trains, which, it is
held, is burdensome and unjust. This
is made perfectly plain by the COM
plaint made by Mr.. Rine, on the
strength of which the cerUiorari is is
sued

About Teachers Resolutions.

The "Men and Matters About the
State" man on the Philadelphia In
quirer has the following interesting
remarks to make in connection with
the resolutions passed and the resolu
tion not passed by the Montour coun-
ty institute in session in this city last
week:
Whatever people may think of the
resolutions adopted by the Montour
county public school teachers in their
forty first annual convention they will
at least be compelled to think some
thing. The Montour teachers are not
down on their knees begging for pen
sions when their time of usefulness
has departed. They want salaries now,
salaries out of which they may save
enough to care for themselves when
they are old and worn out, and there
is reason in their demand In the
clipping which has been forwarded to
,, us there is, unfortunately, no mention
of which carried, the resolutions of
which we have spoken or the amend
ment indorsing Superintendent Schaef-
fer's theory of pension. What we
favor is an increase of the salaries of
teachers, independently of any pen
sion and proportionate increase in
their qualifications for their work.
The time has gone by when anybody
can teach the district school, no mat
| ter where he boards.
The most important provision of the
pension law which it is proposed to
submit to the next legislature is that
to which the Montour county teachers
| object In order that the issue may be
fairly understood The Inquirer here
reprints the so-called "pensional pro-
vision.
All teachers, principals, supervisors
and superintendents who have taught
in the public schools for period of
not less than thirty years, twenty of
which shall have been in the public
schools of Pennsylvania. may be retir-
ed on an annuity equal to half the
average salary received during the five
years of employment Immediately pre-
| ceding such retirement, and this an
uuty shall not be less than 5000 nor
more than 5000 in any one year.
| As between the action taken by the
Montour teachers, who want their
money now, and the provision of the
act which the next Legislature will be
asked to pass there is sharp differ
ence. We say frankly that there are
arguments on both sides. But which
do the teachers, the parties in immedi-
ate interest, favor? 1t is theirs to say.
1t is to be regretted that the person
who sent the clipping to the Inquirer
did not send the whole clipping SO
that the "Meu and Matters About the
State man could have enlightened
himself as to whether the resolution
or the amendment passed the institute.
