PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IL.
Close on the heels of the electrical.
ton OF the Pennsyl Railroad
from Harrison, Newark suburb, to
Long Island City, comes the official
statement that the system from Man
haitian and Jersey City to Philadel-
phia will also be electrified and that
the running time between New York

one hour, the fastest time now between
the two points being two hours.
The Westinghouse Go. is already at
work on the new engines, which are
capable of speed of l20 miles an
hour.
An official of the Westinghouse Co.
stated today that it would take but a
short time to completely electrify the
New York division. and that the work
will be started simultaneously from
both this end and New York. 1t is al
so said that the next step in the gen.

SCARLET FEVER
CLOSES SCHOOLS

Unless greater vigilance be eHercis-
eli it is very much feared that scarlet
fever may gain considerable foothold
in Dauville. Not only on Friday but
also for an hour or more Monday
morning in four schools of the borough
among the pupils were children from
a household in which well defined
case of scarlet fever developed last
week.
That such a state of affairs should
exist, in the present case is not due to
any carelessness on the part Of either
the teachers or superintendent Of the
schools. While in point of fact the
case was diagnosed on Friday and the
house placarded on Saturday, yet up
to Monday noon the schools had re-
ceived no official information as to the
development of the new case.
The first intimation Borough Super
intendent Dieffenbacher had Of the
affair was about ten O'Clock Monday
morning when the fact leaked out
through the pupils of the first, second,
third and fifth schools of the fourth
ward that in each of these rooms was
a pupil that belonged to a family in
which case of scarlet fever had de-
veloped.
The borough superintendent at once
began to investigate aud finally had
all the facts established by the physi-
clan who had diagnosed the.case. The
superintendent ordered that the four
schools, taught respectively by Miss
Wilson, Miss Frey, Miss Rogers and
Miss James, should be dismissed forth.

A FARMERS
HEAVY loss

The farm house of Sylvester Shultz
just above Big Roaring creek, in Col

Friday morning along with practical
ly all its contents, which included
three hundred and fifty dollars in
cash.
Mr.. Shultz, who has many relatives

MORE SALOONS
FEWER BRAWLS

The Sunbury Daily says: when
license court was in session last win
ter great criticism was made of the
judges because they allowed so many
saloons to secure Licenses in the coun.
ty. The arguments advanced were to
the effect that the more saloons there
were the greater would be the liquor
evil. The court did not bother to re-
ply to the criticism and granted the
applications for licen ses, except where
there was iustitiable reason for re-
fusing. 1t was not until recently that
an expression was obtained on the
question of Licenses from the court.
Judge Savidge, in making an address
to the Iris Club of this city lately,
said that he and Judge Auten had Civ

ber of saloons careful consideration.
They found that In the coal regions
where district had only one or two
licensed places, all the men in the

since many of them were foreigners
and ready to fight at the slightest pro.
vocation, such troubles were frequent.
They often resulted in serious assaults
which found their way into the courts.
BY increasing the number of saloons
they found that the residents did not
buy more Intoxicating liquor bus that
the persons who did drink were dis
tributed in greater number of sal =

of men who congreSated in each zaluon
was consequently reduced. With few.

liability of trouble. This court cases
arising from saloon brawls in the re
gion were fewer in number than thew
were before new licenses had bean

JAMES RICHARDS
MAY lose FOOT

James Richards. a boy about sixteen
years of age, employed by John Eek
ert, near Rushtown, il is feared may
lose his left foot as the result of gun
shot wound accidentally inflicted Sat-
urday morning while hunting rabbits.
The boy was in pursuit of rabbit
on what was formerly the Sharpless
farm but is now owned by Arthur
Mcfarland. He discharged his gun
at the rabbit but did not succeed in
killing it. He reloaded the gun and
was endeavoring to dislodge the cot
tontail, which had taken refuge near
by. While thus engaged lie thought
lessly rested the gun muzzle down.
wards on his foot. While in this posi-
tion the gun was accidentally dis
charged, the entire load passing
through his foot.
Frank Ryan. who was working near
by, heard the boys cries. The lad was
made as comfortable as possible at the
farm house and was later brought to
this city by Mr.. Mcfarland. He was
taken to the office of DR.. Curry where
it was discovered that the foot was
badly mangled, the injury on the whole
being of such a serious nature that
the physician suggested that the boy
be removed to the Mary NJ. Packer
hospital He was accordingly taken to
Sunbury on the 12:l0 Pennsylvania
train.
The two middle toes will have to be
amputated ; an effort will be made to
save the remainder Of the foot but it
is by no means certain that the ultim-
ate effects of the injury will not be
such as to nscessitate amputatiou of
the foot. The injured boy is the son

When the Bucknell boys trotted out
on the field they indeed looked husky
bunch and the majority of the crowd
resigned themselves to an anticipated
defeat for high school. Nothing daunt-
ed the locals played the game hard
and fast and within the first ten min
utes of play had advanced the ball to
Bucknell's 10 yard line, where right
half back Daley, by superb END run
carried it over for touchdown. Ryan
kicked the goal.
The second touchdown was made i'll
