THE DOG LAW.

The Act of April 3, 1851 relating
to the regulation of boroughs was
made a part of the law of the Town
of Bloomsbury upon its organiza-
ton by the Act of Assembly of
March a, 1870. Every borough
under Section 10 of the Act of 1851
is given the following power:
"To authorize the killing of dogs
running at large contrary to the
regulations of the borough"
That the town council has power
to regulate the running of dogs at
large, and to have them put out of
the way when the ordinance relating
to the muzzling of dogs is disobey-
ed, there can be no question.
How the dogs shall be disposed
of is a matter of judgment and not
of law. Any man who accepts the
job of shooting dogs on the streets
is evidently not man of enlarged
mental calibre or he would not be
hunting for that kind of a job.
The danger connected with the dog
shooting ordinance has already been
exemplifed.
The reasons why the ordinance
should be changed are SO many that
we shall not enter upon the argu-
ment at present. If put to a vote
the opposition to it would be ten
to one.
The council at meeting on Mon
day night refused to change the
ordinance by providing for pound
and the order to kill on sight dogs
without muzzles is still in force.
Meanwhile there is no one ap-
parently willing to accept to job.
Many dogs are running the streets
without any muzzles, and the whole
thing is farce.
Dogs ought to be muzzled for the
protection of the public. If found
unmuzzled, either through the neg
ligence or wilfulness of their owners
they should be impounded for g
certain time and the owners com
PEELED to pay a fine.
The shoot him -the-spot method
has proved failure. Let us give
the sensible and humane method q
trial.

GOODHART CASE AFFIRMED.

In the opinion handed down by
the Superior Court in the case of
Emma Goodhart, of Mifflinville
against the Columbia and Montour
Electric Railway, the decision of
Judge Evans, before whom the case
was tried in the Common Pleas
court was affirmed.
When the case was tried here the
jury gave the plaintiff a verdict of
$e5c, it being alleged at the time
of the trial that the; plaintiff had
her knee injured by the starting of
the car with a sudden and violent
jerk at Lime Ridge when she was
entering. In many respects the
case was similar to the White case.
Following the refusal of new
trial by Judge Evans appeal was
taken to the Superior Court by the
defendant on the ground that the
testimony as to the suddenness and
violence of the jerk of the car in
starting should be accompanied by
evidence other than that of the
plaintiff.
Representing the trolley company
in the case were A. w. Duy, Esq,
and w. H. Sponsler, while counsel
for the plaintiff were Fred T.. Ike
ler, Esq, and c. A. Small, Esq.

HELP SWELL THE FUND.

Committees have been appointed
by the G. A. R., the Ladies of the
G.. A. R., and the Sons of Veterans
to conduct a canvass for the collec-
ton of fund to be used to defray
the expenses of the dedication of
the Soldiers and Sailors Mont
ment in September. Already a
considerable sum has been subscrib.
ed and those in charge feel conf
dent that a large amount will be
collected. Everyone is asked to
give something, large or small, to-
ward this object, which is an ex-
tremely worthy one, in which the
whole county should be interested.
A fitting celebration is planned for
the time of the dedication, and if
the present intentions of the COM
mittee is carried out, it will be an
important event in the county's
history. This can be accomplished
with your help. What will you

ARTILLERY PASSED
THROUGH TOWN.

On Monday morning Main street
had the appearance that it assumes
on a circus day. The cause was
the expected passing OF Battery ID,
Third Battalion, U. S. A. ell route
down the river to Danville. 1t was
an unusual sight for the town.
About 1890 O'Clock the main
body, which was led by Captain
Horn and his staff, appeared and
passed down Main street on their
way to Danville where, they en-
camped over night. The equip
ment of the battery consisted OF
four three inch guns, and the same
number of caissons. the latter con-
tanning the ammunition chests.
Each gun and .caisson was drawn
bv six horses, with three drivers in
the saddle. A corporal on a sepa-
rate mount was with each caisson
and the gunners rode upon the lim-
Der of each gun. Two guns form
section of which sergeant is IN
charge. Two of the sections COM
prise platoon i'll charge OF a lleu-
tenant, and Captain Horn was In
charge of the whole. Following
the guns were the extra ammunl-
ton wagons, the Red Cross ambu-
lance and four army baggage or es-
cort wagons. In addition to the
soldiers there is in the battery two
cooks, two blacksmiths, saddler
and carpenter. The battery IN

Although they did not have the
appearance, the guns carried by
this battery have an effective range
of four miles, and fire IS pound

shell containing 262 bullets.

BITTEN BY A MAD DOG.

About a week ago number OF
men standing on the lower end OF
East street noticed dog, which
was acting in a peculiar manner,
coming toward them, and they got
out of its way. Fred Veits, who
was coming along the street did not
notice the animal, although the
by-standers called to him. Without
any provocation the dog bit Vets
on the leg. Subsequently 1t bit
another dog and was later killed
Foster Kelley cut off the animal
head and it was sent to the Health
Department of the University OF
Pennsylvania for examination. This
disclosed the fact the dog was at
flicted with rabies.
According to state law, a per
son bitten by mad dog is to be
sent to a Pasteur institute at the
expense of the Poor Board. Vets,
who received the injury, was taken
away today.
Kelly, however, while not bitten
was unfortunate enough to get some
of the animals blood into a scratch
on his hand when he decapitated
it, and is suffering froui the effects
of this, which developed considera-
BILE swelling. Just what is to be
done in his case is undecided, as
the law applies only to those who
are bitten. 1t is to be hoped that
no serious results will occur in ell
ther case.

FIFTH BIRTHDAY.

Last Friday the Bloomsbury Pub.
lie Library rounded out the fifth
year of its existence, and the day
was made the occasion of an in
formal reception for everyone.
The additional rooms which have
recently been added to the library
quarters were thrown open, and
this adds materially to the appear
ance and the efficiency of the estab-
lishmept. Palms and ferns were
used with good effect in enhancing
the cheerfulness of the place. The
visitors. of whom there were several
hundred during the course of the
day, were received by a committee
composed of Mrs. Samuel Wigfall,
Mrs. Johu G.. Harman, and Miss
Unangst. Punch and waters were
served. Mrs. Worthington, the IL
brarian, and Miss Williams, her
assistant, welcomed the accustomed
patrons, and explained the work.
ings of the system to those who
were not frequenters of this worthy
institution.
During its lifetime the Library
has proved a great convenience and
a help to the townspeople, and at
the end of the first half decade is
seen to be in most prosperous
condition. an institution of which
the town can we'll afford to boast.

LIGHTNING DAMAGED
PAUL E. WIRTS HOME.

During the shower Tuesday even
ing the town was startled by vivid
flash of lightning accompanied by
a terrific crash. 1t was found that
the discharge had struck the hcme
of Paul f. Writ. No serious dam
age resulted, with the exception Of
about three feet being knocked out
of the cellar wall, and considerable
plastering from the ceiling being
torn off. 1t is believed that the
charge followed the lightning rod
to the cellar, and jumped to the
cellar wall. Some Of the rooms OF
the house were filled with smoke,
but the occupants suffered no un-
pleasant results.

MILLVILLE CAR LINE
TO BE COMPLETED

An announcement was made the
first part of the week that work
will be started next week on the
Bloomsbury and Millville Street
Railway, and that it is the inten-
ton to have the road in working
order by the first of November.
The roadbed which will lead from
the intersection of Main and Iron
streets, Bloomsbury, to Main and
State streets, Millville, has already
been partly graded and two miles
of track have been laid, and the re-
mainder is to be rushed to compile
ton.

BRIDGE IN DARKNESS.

Owing to the fact that the com
missioneas of Columbia and Luzerne
counties have been unable to agree
upon what kind of light to use, the
Berwick -Nescopeck bridge is still
in darkness, the commissioners ol

and the Luzerne county officials
want gas light, claiming that it is
much cheaper Several meetings
between the officers of the two
counties have been appointed, most
of which the Luzerue men have
failed to attend. How soon the
matter may be settled is un-
certain.

SAlOONMEN WIN OUT
Gerrymander Proves to Be
a Winner for Majority
in Whiting.

1t was learned in Whiting today that
the gerrymander, by which the Third
ward was divided so that fourth ward
was created in which most of the sa-
looms are located has proven successful
and only a few of the saloons will have
to go out of the business as a result.
John Gavit appeared for the saloon
keepers and showed unquestionably
that the city council has the right to
change the ward limits of the city
every six years, regardless of its effect
on a remonstrance.
The ward limits of Whiting have not
been changed in that time or, in fact,
in the last decade and so the division
of the old Third ward into the Third
and a new Fourth was perfectly legal
The Whiting saloon keepers are ju-
bilant over the fact that they are not to
be interfered with and the anti-saloon
element is chagrined over the fact that
they were tricked out of the fruits
of their efforts.
1t is not likely that any further ac-
ton will be taken by the anti-saloon
element at the present time.

STREET CAR SERVICE
SOON IMPROVED
Two New Coaches to Oper-
ate Between Harbor
and East Chicago.

Indiana Harbor and East Chicago are
soon to have two cars operating be-
tween them to replace the present
forty minute service supplied by the
only car running over this branch Of
the Chicago, Lake Shore and South
Bend interurban. Harry Lemon, who
was recently reelected superintendent
of the Chicago, Lake Shore and South
Bend interurban, in charge of the OPP
Grating department from Gary to Ken
sington, returned from Michigan City
today. He says the work engine will
be returned to East Chicago at once
to complete the ballasting of the road
from Gary to East Chicago. Mr. Lem
on also expects the road to be operat-
ing under its own power about the
first of June. The two cars in use
here now will then be sent to the shops
to be changed from direct to alternat-
ing power and two new cars will be
put on between Indiana Harbor and
East Chicago when the old cars come
out of the shops they will be used be-
tween Gary and East Chicago.
