HENRY FISHERS
LAST CHANGE

On March Both the attorneys for
Henry Fisher will present to the sup
RENE court the evidence in the case
and the reasons upon which they base
their claims for a new trial for their
client. This is their last chance to
save Fisher from the gallows, unless
the board of pardons commutes the
sentence of death to life imprison-
ment.
Fisher in the meantime occupies his
cell in the Northumberland county
prison at Sunbury and bothers him
self little with such small matters as
new trials and pardons, but spends his
time amusing the other prisoners by
singing German songs.

Wild BILLS
MAINTENANCE

Interest in the case of William Gull
ford wild Bill), who last fall was ad-
judged insane and committed to the
hospital for the insane at Warren, was
revived on Saturday morning. when
petition was presented to court by the
county commissioners asking that a
rule be granted on Clinton county and
the City of Lock Haven to show cause
why Montour county should not be re-
imbursed for past expenses and future
cost in the case of the said William
Guilford.
The petition, which was signed by
the full board of county commission
ers, George M. Leighow, Charles W.
Cook and George r. Seohler, represent
ed in erect as follows:
That William Guilford was convict
ed of crime and in default of sentence
on September 2S last was committed to
the county Jail. That on October 18th
ON petition of DR.. Curry a commission
was appointed to inquire into the
mental condition of said William Gull
ford. That on December the commits
sion presented it's report setting forth
facts which showed that Guilfurd was
of unsound mind; that he had been
confined in the hospital for the insane
at this place ON several occasions; ;
that his place of legal settlement was
at Lock Haven; also that the history
of his case revealed that his mental
disease began about eighteen years ago
and that his case is regarded by the
authorities at the State hospital for
the insane as incruable.
COURT GRANTS A RULE.
Jugde Evans accordingly granted
rule on the county commissioners of
Clinton county and the overseers of
the poor of Lock Haven to show cause
why the poor district of Lock Haven
should not be adjudged by the court
as the place of legal settlement of Will
liam Guilford ; why such legal settle
ment when thus adjudged should not
be certified by the court to the trustees
of the hospital for the insane at War
ron (whera Gui'ofr1 IS incarc"ratef) }
and why therefore the county COM
missioners of Clinton county and the
overseers of the poor district of the
city of Lock Haven, or either of them,
should not pay the to said petitioners
all the money already expended by
them as aforesaid and why said petit
tioners should not have legal remedy
in the premises for the future reim-
bursement to the said county of Mon
tour of all expenses that may hereafter
be incurred by the county of Montour
in the detention, maintenance and care
of the said William Guilford, in and
by the State hospital for the instane
at Warren or elsewhere to be incurred
in the proper court and jurisdiction.
Rule returnable on the 18th day Of
April. 1908, at 10 O clock.

To nnntinne in nneratinn.

The Reading iron works, which start
ed up last week in four departments,
are still booming along. The compile
ment of men ordinarily employed at
the plant are at work. That the four
departments resumed Monday morn
ing is an encouraging circumstance
and altogether the men are much
cheered by the prospect.
A telegram from Reading, printed
in the newspapers Monday, described
general resumption in that city, clos
ing with the additional statement that
the Danville mills of the Reading Iron
company are to continue in operation.

THE OLD CANAL
WILL REMAIN

1t has now become quite apparent
from the trend of events that the fond
ly cherished dream that the State
might be induced to bring the hospit-
al sewer down the canal connecting
with the borough sewer at the aque-
duct, thereby abolishing the old water
way, is not to be realized, at least, at
the present, but that another expert
ment is to be made at the hospital
with view of disposing of the sew
age on the grounds of the institution.
The true status of the old canal as
nuisance will appear plain from what
follows:
1t develops that State Health Com
missioner Samuel G. Dixon is unalter-
ably opposed to the pollution of
streams by sewage and that he can not
be induced even in face of the some
what anomalous conditions that exist
here, to render Danville safe for all
time by carrying the hospital sewer
down the canal. The health commits
sioner prefers rather to replace the
present inefficient sewage disposal
plant at the hospital with new sys-
TEN, which is found very efficacious
at other places. Thus he acts consis-
tent with his viewssand in dealing
with the evil of stream pollution, at
least does not permit it to increase.
Those acquainted with DIR. Dixon's
views foresee that it will be only
few years until the pollution of
streams will be thing of the past
and that every municipality will be
legally obliged to take care of its own
sewage. The general belief, however,
was that the problem would be solved
by bringing the sewage down the can
al, with DR.. Dixon's consent, and by
the hospital uniting with the borough
in the establishment Of an incinerat-
ing plant below town. 1t has been
found, however. that the cost Of in
stalling such plant would be enorm-
Gus and that the borough's share of
the expenditure would run its in
debtedness far beyond the limit that
it can legally carry.
The system Vi sewage disposal 70 20
installed at the hospital consists of a
series OF flter beds. In theory daring
the process the liquid in the sewage
becomes purified to a degree that
places it ON par with pure water.
People have their prejudioes. how
ever. and whether impure or pure 1T
would not be pleasing to reflect that
the sewage, filtered. was finding its
way into the river at the hospital.
In this connection it is comforting
to note that committee of council on
recent visit to Harrisburg was Civ
en- to understand by the State engine
er that the affluent from the filter
beds along with the stream from the
wash house now the source of pollu
tion, would be brought down through
town in pipes of suitable capacity
sunk in the bottom of the canal
Thus, at least, if there is no misun-
in the matter the borough
is likely to get rid of the filth and tie
stencil which are the most dangerous
and repellent factors in the canal nuis-
ance, even if the old waterway as al
eyesore has to be tolerated for year
or so longer.
