MR.. DUY'S ADDRESS.

y. w. Duy took the floor to explain
that Mr.. Gearhart misunderstood his
application, which was not for fran
chise. His company merely asked that
the street commissioner locate the
poles under the general ordinance. He
declared that the application comes
from the Standard Electric Light Co.
which has contract or agreement with
the borough The Columbia Light,
Power and Railways Co. he declared,
merely owns the stock and bonds of
the Standard Electric Light Co Thirty
five poles will be required For these
the Columbia Light, Power and Rail
ways Co. stands ready to pay one dol
lar per pole yearly
On motion of Mr. Connollev it was
ordered that the street commissioner
be instructed to locate the poles as re-
Quested by Mr.. Duy-taking care to
permit the erection of none but those
that are straight and slightly.

BIG AT FAIR.

The cars of the Danville & Blooms
burg line will no doubt be badly crowd
ed today because of the Columbia
county fair, if the rush this year is to
be anything like a parallel of last year
and previously.
Yesterday the cars were only COM
fortably filed, but as Thursday is gen
orally recognized as the big day of the
fair, the line will no doubt be taxed
to its fullest capacity today. The rain
came in very nicely to remove the
dust, but it is unfortunate that the
drop in temperature has been so mark
ed. Whether the cold weather will af-
feet the attendance at the fair or not
remains to be seen.
\ county fair is an institution that
appeals to most persons, Danville hav-
ing no fair of its own, it is not sur
prising that the rank and file of its
population should seek the peculiar
entertainment afforded at fair in the
neighboIing counties.

SCHOOL BOARD
IN SESSION

Hss H~HH
The public schools of Danville this
year will not be closed on certain
day to permit the pupils to attend the
Bloomsbury fair as has been customary
during few years past. The usual
petition from the students turned up
at the school board meeting Monday eve
but it was turned down by the board.
The petition, which was turned into
the school board last night, asked that
tile schools be closed on Thursday,
October Nth, in order to enable the
students to attend the fair. The paper
bore the signatures of one hundred and
ten students.
The board seemed to be a unit in op-
posing the closing of the schools for
such a purpose. The experience of past
years was adverted to to show that even
though the schools be closed yet only
small proportion of the students
avail themselves of the privilege of
going to the fair.
On motion of DR.. Shultz it was ord
cred "that the request of the students
be refused. "
DR.. Shultz presented IA report of the
water from Crystal Springs, analyzed
i'll the State laboratories, which report
was not considered favorable. He ex-
planned, i'll justice to Crystal Springs,
that he does not consider one analysis
sufficient and suggested that series
of tests be made before the water
should be condemned.
Mr.. Savage, proprietor of Crystal
Springs, who was present at the meet
ing, explained that he intended to en-
ter upon a series of tests, sending to
the laboratories successively samples
of water from Crystal Springs until
the purity or the impurity of the wat
er be conclusively established.
On motion of Mr.. Fischer it was
ordered that the use of Crystal Springs
water in the schools be discontinued
until more favorable report be re-
ceived.
On motion of Mr. Burns it was ord
cred that the school district return to
the former practice of boiling the wat
er that is used in the schools.
Mr.. Heiss of the committee ON griev-
ance reported violation of rules ON
the part of high school boy. Mr..
Bickel, principal of the high school.
was present and explained the nature
of the offence. The offender was the
boy detected smoking on the high
school ground by member of the
school board just before the previous
meeting and who was afterward taken
to task and obliged to undergo the
usual form of punishment. that of be-
ing obliged to remain ON the school
ground for period of two weeks. He
obeyed for about a week and then left
the school grounds at his pleasure
The boy was present before the board
and acknowledged his otfense The
matter was discussed pro and con,
when ON motion of Mr.. Gibson it was
ordered that as IA punishment for his
characterization the boy be campus
ed for two weeks additional
