THE CURFEW LAW.
An Ordinance TO be Adopted.

On Saturday afternoon a petition
was put in circulation asking the
town council to pass an ordinance
requiring all children under a cer-
tain age to be off the street by nine
O'Clock at night. The movement
was started by the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union, and the
petition was in charge of Mrs. l..
l.. Whary and Mrs. Geo. Harder.
A large number Of signers were
secured, very few, if any to whom
the paper was presented refusing to
sign.
The number of young children
OH the streets late at night and the
language and conduct of many of
them proves conclusively that they
ought to be at home, and if par
ents have not sufficient control over
them to keep them there at late
hours, it is time for the town au-
thorities to take hand.
On Monday evening at the regu-
lar session of the council Rev. w.
r. Whitney appeared ard present
ed resolution passed by the clergy
Of the town indorsing the curfew
law. ]. J. Robinson presented the
petition of the w. c. T. U.
After some discussion, on motion
of Mr.. Rulon. seconded by Mr..
Kashner, the Solicitor was instruct
ed to prepare an ordinance estab-
fishing curfew law. It was sug-
gested that the age Of the children
and the time the curfew should
ring, should be ascertained from
neighboring towns and that the or
dinance should be prepared in con-
formity with them.

CORONER'S INQUESTS.
When Not Necessary to be Held.

Judge Evans has handed down
an opinion in Montour county de-
clining to approve or order the
county to pay the costs OF holding
the inquest on the dead body of
Joseph E. Birks, who lost his life
by drinking carbolic acid by mis-
take at the Germania brewery last
summer. The approval of this in
QUESTION was resisted by the Mon
tour county commits sioners.
Citing an opinion Of Judge Furst
in similar case the court holds
that when a coroner, or, in his abb
sence, justice, is called upon to
view a dead body he should make
some reasonable inquiry into the
circumstances of the death before
proceeding to summon a jury and
hold an inquest. Where the sur
rounding facts do not show viol-
ence and there is no reason for sup
posing a felonious destruction of
the person, there is no necessity
for an inquest. But when the con-
trary appears or death is involved
in mystery it is proper case for
an inquest. When it is quite evil
dent that death has been caused by
disease or other natural causes,
suicide, pure accident, or neglig-
ence of the deceased no inquest will
be needed and, if held, no fees
should be allowed therefor.
The above opinion should prove
very valuable to justices of the
peace when called upon as acting
coroners to decide whether or not
an inquest is necessary. Care, how
ever, should be taken not to mis-
construe any of the points ad-
vanced and err on the side of too
great caution thus permitting
cases of sudden death to pass in
which there is an element of mys-
terry and in which there would seem
to be necessity for an inquest in
order to show that the authorities
are vigilant in their effort to block
crime.

OTHER PLACES HAVE 1T, TOO,

Lewisburg has had its war with
the milkmen and has come off vic
torious. November Ist the dairy
meu advanced the price of milk
from 6 to 8 cents. The move caus-
ed disapprobation. Consumers at
once reduced the quantity of their
purchases, and the milkmen found
that their supply of milk greatly
exceeded the demand. Some bought
condensed milk, and in many ways
showed dissatisfaction.
A number of firms arranged to
deliver milk to the larger consum-
ers at 6 cents and the milkmen
found that their trade was rapidly
slipping away. On November sth
they announced that old prices
would be restored.

TOWN HELP FOR LIBRARY.

On Monday night Col. J. c..
Freeze, John r. Townsend and c..
w. Miller presented petition to
the town council signed by about
$50 citizens, asking for assistance
from the town towards the main
tenance of the free library.
The petition claims that it is a
matter of public interest and should
be maintained by the Town the
same as the water, light, etc. 1t
asks that one half of one mill of the
taxes for the year 1907. be set aside
and paid monthly to the treasurer
of the Public Library. The petit
ton was presented by c. w. Miller,
Esq, who explained the financial
condition of the library and that it
had been kept alive only by house
to house canvass by certain of its
members. According to the finan-
cial statement for the last year
there appeared to be deficit of
about S74.74. The Civic Club
which had been one OF the princi-
pal supporters of the library had
disbanded, and hence this source of
income will be cut off. If the
Town would appropriate a certain
amount of the taxes as the petition
requests, everybody could contri-
butte proportionately to the library.
Mr.. Townsend also spoke in favor
of the matter and said he was salts
fed that if the Council would show
an interest in the matter an outside
party would erect suitable build
ing which would be an honor to the
town, for the home of the library.
The matter was discussed at
length by Council. In reply to a
question, the Secretary said that it
would amount to about $I,4oo. 1t
was finally decided to take up the
matter at the special meeting on
the 25th of November.

commissioners, AS it is to be paid

learn where it. is, but it will take a
strong argument to convince them.

THE MIFFLIN VOTE.

On Thursday last Z. c. Yettei
Esq. presented petition to the
court asking that the vote of Mifflin
township be thrown out for the
reason that Witt Hess had acted as
Judge of Election in place of O. T..
Johnson who was elected last spring
Johnson was present and demand
ed to be sworn in, but the board
refused to swear him. Nothing
was done in the matter, and on
Saturday Mr.. Yetter again called
it up, and asked the court to make
an order excluding the vote. This
Judge Evans refused to do, as there
was nothing alleged in the petit
ton to warrant such action.
The Court said that the two
judges on Thursday were sitting as
returning board and not as a
Court Of Common Pleas and had no
authority to receive any petitions.
They were there to compute the
vote as returned, and that the re-
turns were all regular on their face.
There was no fraud alleged.
Judge Evans said that if Mr..
Yetter wanted to raise the question
there was a regular way to proceed
as set forth in the Act of Assembly:
that the vote of a township could
not be thrown out upon all ex parte
affidavit. There was nothing what
ever before the Court.
The Court said that he would al
low the petition presented on Thurs
day to be marked "filed," but
would make no other order. Mr..
Yetter desired the Court to have
entered on the records the fact that
a petition was presented by him OH
Thursday and that the Court took
no action upon it. The Court re-
piled that there was nothing before
them for argument. There is
nothing before the Court excepting
the bare fact that we have allowed
the petition presented on Thursday
to be marked filed
Mr.. Yetter desired the Court to
make an order that the petition
represented that the Judge of Elec-
tion of Mifflin township was one
o. E. Johnson that he was pre-
sent at the polling place on the day
of election, was not allowed to
serve, and that the returns from
this election district show that they
were signed by Witt Hess as judge
of the election. This the Court re-
fused to dc. He said the petition
did not allege fraud, or that the
fact of Witt Hess acting as Judge
of Election had changed the result.
Court said further that if Mr.. Yet
ter could show that the fact OF Witt
Hess having served as Judge of the
Election in Mifflin township had
disfranchised any elector, or was
the cause of fraud in the election,
then a petition of that kind would
have some force.
After some further discourse the
Court made the following entry on
the petition: "Apd now Novem-
Der 9th, 1907, the prayer of the pc
tition to exclude the vote of Mfflin
township from the official count is
refused"
Judge Krickbaum received his
certificate of election on Thursday,
November 9TH, and the whole thing
is now probably closed event.
