ELECTION AT HILO
MAY BE
CONTESTED BY MOIR


Unless all signs go for naught there
will be a protest filed In the matter Of
the recent elections owing to the man.
rer i'm which the voting was conducted
Mt Waiakea. Should the protest be
flied and should II be pressed 10 a sue
cessful issue the result will be that
John r. NOR. the present chairman .:
the Board of Supervisors. and Incl.
dentally the most valuable member OF
that body. will be elected II member
again, and Keaki. the former police
man who ran on the Democratic-Home
Rule ticket. will be thrown out.
The total vote for the North and
South lIilo Supervisors stood thus:
Desha. 29i Keaki, 81; NOR, SS1;
! Todd. sos.
Naturally on this showing. Keaki
| and Todd were elected, but Ia Waiakea
the candidates polled thus:
Desha. 80; Keaki, 1902; Moir, IS;
Todd. 1862
II. as Is claimed by the friends oil
| Moir. there was a grave irregularity
| in the manner of conducting the voting
at Waiakea and the vote there should
be thrown out the toal will leave NOR
with ten votes more than Keaki.
Owing TO the absence OF Moir In ilo-
nolulu II cannot be stated definitely
that he will consent to protesting The
election. especially MS II Is no secret
that he was rather gratiied than 9TH
orwise when he found that he was sup.
posodly defeated.
The basis OF the protest will be that
the chairman at Waiakea, Henry West
a Democrat Home Ruler. did not obey
the instructions laid down for his guild
ance. The County Act says that the
duties OF the election board shall be
among other matters:
"To record the name Of each person
polling vote. and also to check OH
upon the register of voters furnished
by the Board of Registration the name
Of each voter polling vote"
Il IL claimed that In Waiakea no rec.
ord was kept OF each person polling {
vote and that the names were simply
checked OFF the official list. Whether
this would be sufficient Of an error I,
) invalidate each vote SO cast but not re-
corded Is a matter to be settled by tn,
courts though the claim would seem I;
have much merit In II.
At present the records are all signe'
and sealed. Encased In canvas bag
the papers are In the possession Of tn
County Clerk. nor can the packages b,
opened without the order Of the Su

Current rumor had II that Carl Smltl
had been instructed to commence pro
oeodings with view to contesting tn
election on behalf Of Moir, but he state,
positively yesterday that no such def
mite action had been taken. He nat
urally refused to give an opinion as I

circumstances claimed.

Needless Expense In the Court

The Sunbury Daily has the follow
ing to say about the clogging of the
channels of Justice by petty cases and
the useless expense caused the county
by these suits, which state of affairs,
the Daily says, is particularly in evid
ence in Northumberland county:
"The county commissioners of the
State, at their recent convention in
Lancaster, among other propositions
that appear practical and beneficial,
put themselves on record in matter
relating to costs that is likely to meet
with popular favor. They recommend
the enactment of law to protect the
different counties from the payment of
all costs in minor criminal cases where
the bill of Indictment is ignored by
the grand jury, or the defendant is
acquitted by the petit jury, or the case
dismissed by the court.
1.-The passage of such law would
without doubt save the taxpayers
thousands of dollars. No other county
has suffered more than Northumber-
land from cost expenses which law
would obviate
For years complaints have been
made that justices in the coal regions
send every petty case heard before
them to court. Lawyers fees. witness
fees and all the other expenses of a
legal action are then thrust upon the
county to help swell it's Indebtedness
AS the parties to the suit in such cases
are seldom able to pay the costs the
expense must necessarily be borne by
the taxpayers.
consequently people residing in the
western townships and boroughs have
their county taxes almost doubled by
the perpetual legal disputes of lot of
worthless foreigners in the coal reg
| ions.
"As it is said that the commission.
ers will probably increase the tax as
sessment for the coming year in order
to meet current expenses this point is
worth considering.

Reckless Shooting Complained of.

Persons residing at Castle Grove are
complaining loudly over reckless shoot
ing INDUCED in by people residing in
that section, who make it practice
of cunning for birds of various kinds
that frequent the trees on the ground
around the mansion.
Things have reached such a pass that
it is hardly safe for persons to expose
themselves ON the grounds. Frequently
several gunners at time are skulking
on the outside of the fence waiting an
opportunity to draw bead on some
harmless bird within, while not in
frequently man or boy has the tenn
Gritty to climb over the fence and pur-
sue the birds inside the enclosure. The
result of it all is that not infrequent-
ly in the midst of shooting, rain of
shot is apt to fall anywhere about the
mansion
The chief police was called to
Castle Grove yesterday and last even
ing he declared that he would make
arrests, as even though some of the
birds killed may not be protected by
law, yet in all instances shooting with
in the borough limits is in violation
of the ordinance and will not be per-
mitted

High Water rIark of Attendance.

The public schools of the borough
opened Tuesday. The attendance
throughout the grades was about what
is customary on the first day of school
with the exception of the high school,
where attendance reached high water
mark, there being 1866 pupils enrolled.
So far as Borough Superintendent
Gordy has been able to determine the
present enrolment is the highest that
has ever taken place in the high
school. When he took charge of the
high school, six years ago the number
of pupils enrolled was 80. The num-
ber kept on increasing regularly at
the rate of some twelve or fifteen "A
year until the present, when the show
ing is as above stated.
OF course the new law, which per-
mits pupils from the rural districts
too attend borough high schools at the
townships expense, is in some measure
responsible for the growing enroll
ment. Nevertheless, if we eliminate
the nonresident pupils althogether, we
will find that there has been grow
ing increase in the number of pupils
attending the high school, which can
be accounted for only by the popular
ity of the school and the course of
study adopted. Borough Superintend
ent Gordy thinks that the plan OF
granting diplomas to the grammar
school graduates, which has had the
effect of stimulating interest and hold
ing the pupils in school, is to be re
garded rs one of the causes which have
brought the enrolment up to its pres
ent high water mark.
Sixty-five pupils were promoted tc
the high school this year. OF this mum.
ber thirty-six are nonresident pupils,
who, with three exceptions, all came
up from the grammar grade. Fifteen
non resident pupils failed to pass the
examination for admittance to the higl
school and are enrolled in the gram
mar grades.
OF the new class OF sixty-five, TWEEN
ty-seven have elected to take the com
mercial course, which is little below
the usual percentage.
The total number of pupils enrolled
in the grades of the borough schools
Tuesday was 1132.

Funeral of rlrs. Lee Kaufman.

The funeral of Mrs. Lee Kaufman,
of Elysburg, who lost her life by
drowning recently, took place yester-
day afternoon. The funeral party met
at the home at O'Clock and proceed
ed to the Lutheran church at Reed S
Station where the services were con-
Quoted.
The remains of Mrs. Kaufman were
borne to the grave by six young men
who had been her friends throughout
her life while eight young ladies acted
as honorary pail bearers. Charles and
George Crick, Harmer Zimmerman,
Charles Crowl, Charles Martz and Ray
Lynn were the pallbearers and were
assisted by Misses Elizabeth Crick,
Clara Crowl, Katherine Crowl, Jennie
Herb, Blanche Vastine, Elizabeth
Martz, Katherine Martz and Mrs. Ray
Lynn. The services were conducted
by Rev. j. w. Shannon.
The floral tributes were very num-
erous and most beautiful The attend
ance at the church was said to be the
largest of any funeral ever held there.
The church, which seats 400, was
crowded and many hundreds who were
not able to get inside the editice, heard
the service in the open air outside the
church.
Lee Kaufman, although he passed a
restless night Monday, bore up we'll
during the funeral. He was accom-
panied by his attending physician and
two trained nurses.

Borough Engineer Makes Survey.

1t is still believed that the recon-
struction of North Mill street will be
completed this fall and that the work
will start during the present month.
A draft showing the location, eleva-
tion and grade of curb lines has just
been completed by Borough Surveyor
Keefer and forwarded to the city clerk
The blue print or draft takes in Mill
street from Center street to the steam
mill and is based upon a survey made
Saturday by the borough surveyor and
two assistants in the presence of the
streets and bridges committee of coun-
Gil.
The draft was gotten up at the re-
quest of the State highway department.
and thus the borough assumes the re-
sponsibility for any difficulty that may
ensue from any change in grade or
location of curb lines made necessary
in reconstructing the street.
The completion of the draft brings
the preliminaries one step nearer the
point where actual work may begin.
At the next meeting the draft will be
acted upon by council, after which it
will be forwarded to Engineer Clay
of the State highway department.. The
plans and specifications will no doubt
be the next thing in order.

Caught a Runaway Horse.

Frank Beyers, Bloom street, disting-
uished himself last evening by a slick
piece of work in catching a runaway
horse.
A horse attached to a buggy belong
ing to one of our livery stables, which
had been left united in front of the
United States Express office, took
fright and ran away. The horse start
ed with plunge and dashed down the
street on gallop. Conditions were
favorable for a smashup, when all of
q sudden fieet-footed figure darted
out from the sidewalk and sprinting
alongside for a moment reached out
and grabbed the runaway horse.
1t was the nerviest thing Imaginable,
as the horse was Oh a dead run. No
one believed the plucky fellow would
succeed in stopping the horse and ex-
pected every moment to see him tramp
led under foot. But he held on like a
hero and, although he could hardly
keep his feet as he was dragged over
the paving, yet he jerked and tugged
at the bit in such way that by and by
he checked the horse and finally
brought him under control.
Mr. Beyers was much applauded for
his quick witted and plucky act.

Hicks for September.

Prof. Hicks, the weather prophet,
predicts stormy September. He says
A regular storm period is central on
September |, extending up to the 4th.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 9TH aud Sth and this fact, most
probably will cause storms which
originate on the 9th to continue over
the 9TH and Sth. A regular storm period
is central on the l2th and covering the
10th and 18th. A reactionary storm
period is central on the Eth, 18th and
18th. This period will carry the earth
to the center of its autumnal equinox.
1t will also inaugurate series OF
storms and changes on land and sea
that will prove clear lines of demarka.
tion between our summer and autumn.
From Sunday, the 23rd, to Wednesday
the Goth, is a time of maximum storm
probability.

DANV|LLE MAN
DIES IN BERWICK

Thomas +. Kerns, son of p. M. Kerns,
a well-known young man OF Danville,
departed this life at Berwick on Tues
day evening after a short illness
The deceased was 30 years of age.
He was born and grew to manhood i'll
Danville. When boy he entered his
fathers blacksmith shop and after
mastering the trade including horse
shoeing he went into business with his
father and was known as very skill
ed workman.
Under the arduous employment of
horseshoeing his strength finally gave
way and it was necessary for him to
secure some lighter work. According
ly the partnership existing between
Kerns and Lobach on Northumberland
street about a month ago was dissolv-
ed, p. M. Kerns along with his son re-
tiring from the business.
The deceased went to Berwick and
secured employment at finishing pass
enger coaches. About two weeks ago
he was stricken with bilious intermit'
tent fever For several days he was
very low, death coming to his relief
about 6 :45 O'Clock on Tuesday even
ing. The body was brought to Dan
vile at noon yesterday and taken to
the home of p. M. Kerns, father of the
deceased, on Nassau street. The funer.
al will be held Friday at 8 a. m. from
st. Joseph's Catholic church.
The deceased was a member of order
of Maccabees, Fraternal Order of Eagles
and the horse shoers' union. Besides
his father and mother,a wife and two
small children survive, the latter be-
ing son and daughter, Francis and

REPORT Of THE
LOCAL REGISTRAR

The report of the local registrar to
for the month of August gives the dis
trict which includes Danville nearly
"A clean bill of health. A remarkable
feature of the showing is the utter alb
sence of typhoid fever.
During last summer and fall good
many cases of this disease existed
about Danville and at times it was a
question whether typhoid here was not
slightly above normal. Last spring,
however, conditions seemed to i'm
prove. With each succeeding month
the number of cases seemed to dwindle
until July the happy announcement
was made that we had no typhoid in
the district 1t might have been
thought that the immunity from the
dreaded disease was a purely accident
al state of affairs and that the next
monthly report would show more or
less typhoid. Happily, however, as in
dicated above August was as free of
typhoid fever as was the month of
July.
The improved conditions, it is believ
ed, may be attributed in some degree
to the gradual extension of the public
sewer, although, of course, other causes
are at work. The state of affairs is
certainly the cause for self congraUula-
tion, especially, in view of the fact
that typhoid fever threatens to become
scourge at Harrisburg and is alarm
ingly prevalent at some towns situat-
ed nearer Danville.
The only form of contagious disease
that existed in Danville during Aug.
was measles, and of this there were
just seven cases The report for July
showed Just one case of measles, in
dicating that this disease has gained
considerable ground during the month
enlightened the people considerably on
the subject of measles and this disease
is regarded in more serious light
than formerly. The same applies to
WnoOplng cough. Inc latter disease III
is true, does NOT exist in Danville at
present but it may be said to be Just
around the corner, as several nearby
localities are pretty badly efflicted
with it.
There were 27 deaths in Danville
during August as against 23 deaths in
July. OF the deaths during August,
insane, and two at the Holy Family
convent.

Big Trolley Links Forging.

The North American, yesterday
morning, printed an interesting article
on the trolley prospectus IL this Sec
tion of the State. The article says
SHAMOKIN, SEPT. 4.-Trolley ex.
tension, after long period Of quiet
ness, is again taking boom in this Sec
tion, and the plans of promoters
throughout this district contemplate
the gridironing of Northumberland
and Schuylkill counties and the rich
farming districts along the North
Branch of the Susquehanna. New in
terests have got hold of the lines in
Northumberland and Schuylkill coun-
ties, and the work is booming.
Former Congressman Monroe H.
Kulp, of this place, better known as
" Farmer, is the moving spirit in
Northumberland county. When he broke
into politics in 1894 people smiled and
said that he had better stick to his
lumber business. But Farmer" went
ahead and was the first Republican to
carry the Seventeenth, now the Six
teenth, Congressional District. He did
it again in 1896.
He has duplicated this record in his
traction enterprises. Getting hold Of
the Shamokin and Edgewood Railway
a three-and- one half-mil local con-
Germ, which had never paid, he at once
put it on money making basis. With
in a year he built six-mile line to
Trevorton and another to Weigh Scales
three miles long. Both have seventy
pound and seventy -five-pound rails. and
in construction compare favorably
with steam roads.
The Weigh Scale line is destined to
be extended fifteen miles to Sunbury,
there to connect with the proposed
Danville-Sunbury, Sunbury Selins-
grove and Sunbury Milton lines. In
road from Shamokin to Locust Dale,
near Ashland, where he will connect
with the Schuylkill Traction line.
which runs to Mahanoy City and Shen-
lIlls w III 10 hDOub
teen miles long During this fall he
will tear up his road in Shamokin and
rebuild it entirely to standard gauge,
using seventy pound girder rails. He
will also build two-mile line to Bear
Valley.
Kulp's lines are destined to become
links in big system. With roads built
or planned it will be possible to come
by trolley from Scranton to Sunbury,
and thence back to Shamokin and
Shenandoah, there already being link
between the latter towns via the Sha-
mokin- Mount Carmel line and the
Schuylkill Traction road.
From Shenandoah to Pottsville is
route to be covered by the Eastern
Pennsylvania Railways Company, new
owners of the Pottsville lines The
line from Pottsville to Middleport 10
to be extended to Tamaqua, and from
the latter town it is already possible
to trolley to Mauch Chunk.
A connection between Mauch Chunk
and Allentown is among the possibil-
tiles of the near future, and then
travel by electric lines from Scranton
to Philadelphia, via Sunbury, will be
possible
