Within the last few days we have
had two startling crimes by boys.
Each was II years old and each turn

The judges in the highest court in
the commonwealth who rose in Pitts

again sit in Philadelphia on the first
Monday in January, 1910, when it is
expected that decision ON the appeal
will be handed down.
The case of Fisher is one of the
longest drawn ont that has ever been
tried in Northumberland county. The
murder for which he was twice con-
victed was committed in 1906. Since
that time Attorneys Welsh and Welsh
have been fighting with bulldog ten

the gallows and thus far have met with
success. This is the second time that
the lawyers have taken an appeal to

prove successful in securing new
trial, the case will undoubtedly hold

for another year.

THREE BRIDGES
UNFINISHED

| 1t has become quite clear that the
three county bridges in course of erec'
tion can not be completed this season,
all of which will be a matter of much
regret to the public, especially those
who have occasion to use the several
highways on which the bridges occur.
The three smaller bridges-at Carey s,
at John Coleman's, and at Buck Run
were completed by the Owego Bridge
company last month. The three re-
naming bridges, built by the Nelson
Merydith company, are located respect
lively at Cotner's, at Maust and at
Sechler's.
The contract in each case called for
the completion of the bridge before
this but the company pleads unavoid-
able delay caused by its inability to
obtain the steel work.
The stone work was completed
months ago. The crushed stone needed
for the concrete floors is also on the
ground. 1t is too late i'll the season to
go on with the work, even if the mat
erial should arrive forthwith. Consid
ering the time of year we would have
to be favored with a period of phen-
omenal weather, indeed, before the
county commissioners would feel
justified in permitting the contractors
to enter upon the construction of the
bridges this winter. The erection of
the ironwork, it is true, could proceed
without detriment, but the laying of
the concrete floors while freezing
temperatures prevail would be obvious
ly ill-advised.
During discussion at the court
house yesterday the fact was made
patent, not only that floors of concrete
have superseded plank, but also that
bridges wholly of concrete are coming
into favor in this State and promise
in process of probably very soon
to displace iron or steel bridges.
The experiment where tried has
proven thoroughly satisfactory. 1t is
demonstrated that the counties can
build concrete bridges more cheaply
and that it costs less to maintain
them. The item of paint is essentially
concrete is practically in
and consequently no
money is required for repairs on
bridges Of that sort

STATE ON WATCH
HARRISBURG, Dec.

HARRISBURG, Dec. 10.
The State is taking measures to pro-
tect itself in the event of its winning
the civil suits to recover its claims
against the men charged with and con-
victed of conspiracy in connection
with the furnishing of the State cap
itol.
This fact leaked out when it be-
came public that the administrator of
the estate of the late State Treasurer
Mathues, in Chester, Delaware coun-
ty, had been notified not to distribute
the funds arising from the sale of his
estate until the claims of the State are
satisfied When asked who served the
notice, Attorney General Todd said
this morning that it was done at his
instance,
1.-THE papers in the civil suits are
all ready" said Attorney General
Todd, land we will be able to proceed
at the proper time. As matter of fact
the papers in all of the claims to re-
cover from those defendants were
