cation was ordered filed but no action

H. r. Van Dorster of Catawisss,
manufacturer of loose leaf binder, fill
ing devices, sheets and indexes, ap-
peared before council Friday to sub
NIT his proposal for furnishing loose
leaf billing outfit TO the borough of
Danville for use in the water depart
ment.
There were bids from other firms
also, but it was the sense of the COM
mittee that Mr.. Van Dorster's outfit
was the lowest in price as we'll as the
most serviceable. On motion of Mr..
Jacobs it was ordered that the borough
purchase 1900 sheets and files from
Mr.. Van Dorster, which constitutes a
supply that will last three years.
Along with the adoption of the loose
leaf billing outfit an entirely new sys-
tenn of collecting the water rent will
be adopted, one that will involve a
check to prevent mistakes.
On motion of Mr.. Russell William
J. Williams was elected permit
clerk and secretary of the board Of
water commissioners at a salary Of
one hundred dollars per year. The
permit clerk" who is rendered
necessary by the new system of collect
ing water rents, will be occupied only

Smith was unanimously reelected
borough electrician at a salary of
seventy-five dollars per month.
The following bills were approved

case of John Mowrer. who died Mon.
day night in the little shanty on

not private. In the evening. however,
the jury met Behind closed doors and
no one was allowed to be present ex-
cept the six men sitting, on the in.

verdict Of
CORONER'S JURY

That John Mowrer came to his death
from violent injuries sustained in a
manner Of which the jury is unable to
determine, was the verdict rendered
last night by the coroner's jury in the
case Of the death of the lad in the lit
tie building on Green street Monday
evening.
The jury impanneled on the case
held the last of it's four meetings in
the office of Justice of the Peace James
Dalton last evening at seven O'Clock
The testimony of Drs. Paules and
Newbaker, who during yesterday had
performed an autopsy on the remains,
was heard and the testimony of Edwin
Gibson was re-hearl.
The fact was thoroughly establish
ed, from the testimony of the physi-
clans, that death was due to violence
of some description, but from the testi-
mony of Gibson, who was the only one
of the party at the little shanty on
Monday afternoon who remained Sob
er, it was impossible to adduce any
information that would enlighten the
jury as to the nature Of the violence.
After considering the facts as pres
ented the jury rendered a verdict as
follows:

According to Bank Examiner Folds
the shortage was concealed by clev-

aminer appeared at the bank the clerk
hurried out to another bank with a
cashiers check enough to cover, the
shortage. These checks were always
promptly honored by the banks and
this placed in the vaults before the
examiner discovered the shortage.
This money would be returned as soon
as the bank examiner left. This sys-

In the far distance a tender haze softening their outline stood the violet silhouette of the end ing ranges, and far beyond them lay Aniston, where waited his newer life his newer, better work and the hope that was the April of his dreams.

 There was a gesture in the out stretched arms that caught at his heart. He stepped forward. and at the sound she looked up, startled.
