PAVING ORDINANCE

law has shown that an endless amount
of formality has TO be complied with,
which Will occupy practically all sum.

Some of the councilmen, however,
in view of the exceedingly bad condi.
tion of East Market street are 10th to
abandon the project TO pave this year
With the hope of being able to do
something yet this summer the rules
were suspended at the last meeting of
council and the ordinance for paving
was rushed through or the three read
ings, being adopted with practically
no change.
On Saturday morning the ordinance
was mailed to Chief Burgess Ames-
bury. who is sojourning at Atlantic
City, for his signature, a measure
which was deemed advissbl9 in order

SPRlNkLING A
HEAVY DRAIN

The effect of the severe drought is
felt at the water works in an unprec-
edented drain upon the reservoir,
caused by the unusual demand for
water for sprinkling purposes. During
the entire day the pumps are kept busy
working almost to the limit OF their
capacity.
With oue-half or perhaps a greater
proportion of the hydrants of town
open at the same time, as frequently
oocnrs, the effect can easily he i'm
agined and the question naturally suG-
gests itself: What If ire were 20
occur-could the pumps give suffioiept
pressure to send tue streams ~ g
needed?''
That this question admits Of rorstd-
cradle doubt was demonstrate by au
occurrence last week When s.e i5a
broke out at tha Dauvtll4 Foundry &
Machine company's plaut spriEklirg
must have been general about town
Judging from the effect at the water
works. The pumps were never known
so work much harder even during a
fire.
Fortunately the blaze at the foundry
was extinguished without drawing on
the water main, but the attaches of
the water works are confident that if
there had been fire at that hour
W which would have required three or
four streams Of water, the pumps
would have been unable to give the
pressure needed
In view of the fact chat danger.
GUS fire is likely to occur as any time,
just at this season while the demand
for water is so great water takers are
asked at the first sound,of the fire bell
to discontinue sprinkling in order to
give the fremen all the pressure they
need. Under any circumstances it
would be only for a few moments and
would naturally entail little inconven.
ience on those engaged In sprinkling,
whereas, unless some such precaution
be employed, fire might gain great
hesdway through lack of sufficient
pressure.

the front yard near the house about
eleven O'Clock.
gMr Moore lived in Anthony town
ship the greater part OF his life. Over
fifty years ago he, together with five
brothers and one sister removed to
that section from Snyder county For
many years the whole number we're in
various ways prominently identified
with the life OF the country there

Bic OUTLAY Of
MONEY AVOIDED

Henry Grove, assisted by his son,
David, has undertaken the difficult7job
of repairing thescondemned desks lin
the high school room so as to make
them serviceable for.snother;year. He
entered upon the work yesterday morn
ing
The desks in question have been in
service for some thirty years and as
the result of the hard wear and tear to
which they were exposed, they have
become very shackly to say nothing of
the manner in which they,t'are SCARED
and defaoed. They have been repeated
ly repaired so that the screws in num-
erous instances refuse to hold any
longer. The school board had practic-
ally decided to throw out the desks,
aud install new ones.
The cost involved, which would
amount to several hundred dollars,
caused the board to, 60 slowly, how
ever. 1t was discovered that the desks
are made of cherry that they are
large and comfortable and altogether
are such desks ssscsn not be obtained
at the present day.
At this junoture some one suggested
Henry Grove as an expert workman in
that line, who might be able to repair
the desks so that they would answer
for several years.s' In view of the big
sum of money thatlmight thus be saw.
ed it was considered worth while to
make trial.
Accordingly Mr. Grove was employ
ed. By last-evening he.had completed
nearly one rowsofsdesks and there was
not one that was not practically as
good as new when it left his hands.
The desks are all taken apart by Mr..
Grove, the tops being pianed and
ssndpapered. Where the screws will
no longer hold, as frequently occurs
in the Stats belonging to the seats,
rivets are inserted. There are some
ninety desks inEall togo over in this
way, which makes it reasonably clear
that Mr.. Grove will need pretty near
ly all the rest of the vacation period
to complete his job.

SPECIAL Meeting
Of council

The ordinance for paving East Mark
ct street, which passed council on its
third reading Friday night, and which
Saturday morning was forwarded to
Atlantic City for the approval of Chief
Burgess Amesbury, came back to Dan
vile Monday morning properly sign
ed.
The next step in the procedure will
be the posting of handbills explaining
the paving proposition and notifying
all those who are dissatisfied that they
may appeal to court.
In order that no time might be lost
as soon as the ordinance arrived yes
terday morning, President Andrew
Schatz issued a call for a special meet
ing of council to be held at s O'Clock
Monday night.
At the meeting on motion it was re.
solved that at least twelve hand bills
be posted in conspicuous places along
the line OF proposed improvement. ex-
planning the passage and approval of
the ordinance as we'll as the fact that
the petition was signed by two-thirds
of the owners of property representing
not less than two-thirds in the num-
Der of feet of the property fronting or
abutting on the said part of said street
proposed to be paved and curbed and
thst any person interested and deny
ing the fact that said petition was so
signed may appeal to the court Of com.
mon pleas within sixty days from the
passage or approval of said ordinance
and present a petition to the said
court, setting forth the facts for the
proper inquiry and determination of
court in the premises.
As is shown by the foregoing sixty
days must elapse before the next and
final step can be taken in the pro-
cedure. Council, however, has not ab.
andoned the hope of being able to be.
gin the work of paving the coming
autumn, hence the haste with which
the signature OF the burgess was pro-
cured and the special meeting was
called to take action on the hand bills.

MOL. PROS. allowed
By THE COURT

A session Of court was held Satur
day morning with his Honor Judge
Evans and Associates Blee and Welliv-
er on the bench.
About the only business on hand was
that relating to the transfer of liquor
license at the hotel of William O.
Dougherty on Northumberland street
More than usual interest attached to.
the petition for transfer by reason of
some complications that existed and
tho eminent counsel employed.
Promptly on Saturday morning John
H. Garmau, Esq, of Wilkes.Blrre,
was on hand for the third time during
the last three weeks in the interest of
the transfer. There was no remonstr-
ance filed in the present case and ev-
erything promised clear sailing.
MOL. PROS. ALLOWED.
Before proceeding with the petition
for transfer MIR. Garmsn addressed the
court, asking that mol, pros. be al
lowed in the case of Commonwealth
VS.. William @. Dougherty, the charge
being Carrying concealed deadly
weapons. Mr.. Garman fully explain
ed all the circumstances, which made
it appear that the case was one in
which judicial clemenoy might be
very consistently exercised. His Honor
Judge Evans accordingly allowed a
mol pros the defendant TO pay the
costs
GOOD DCHARACTER ESTABLISHED
The petition Of John f. Tooey for a
transfer of license at the Dougherty
stand was then taken up. Major @. P.
Gearhart, William Turner. Patrick
Hickey, George Lewis and William
Deutsch were called to the stand in
succession. The testimony was un-
animous in showing that the applicant
was man of good character and
eminently qualified to conduct hotel.
Among additional facts adduced was
that william O. Dougherty, the then
licensee, was the owner of the stand
and that he desired TO quit the hotel
business.
The license was formally transferred
and bond was approved by Judge
Evans Saturday morning.

PARSONAGEES
NOT NON-TAXABLE.

Down in Cumberland county Judge
Sadler has just announced decision
which is of Importance in every com
munity. The congregation OF the AT.
rioan Methodist Episcopal Zion church
in Carlisle built parsonage connect
ing it with the church and holding
that the two were practically one
building and therefore. non taxable.
Judge Sadler has just ruled against
the contention of the colored brethren,
doing so with great reluctance, he
said. but compelled to obey the law.
1t has been held for many years that a
parsonage connected with the pulpit
is exempt from taxation because it is
actually part of the church structure.
Patriotism is best illustrated by 3
devoted and upright life.

STANDING OF. The CLUBS.

Saturday failed to produce any
change whatever in the relative stand
ing. Danville's defeat and Nanticoke ;
victory over Nescopeck boosts Nanti-
coke's chances some, but don't oinch
the matter by any means. Nanticoke
has played one more game than Dan
Vile and the locals have two to play
off. Mark it down, things are going
TO happen and Danville is going to be
right in the midst of them. The team
is second to none.
The Danville Susquehanns league
team suffered temporary setback in
their pennant chasing aspirations on
Saturday when after holding the score
Ii for ten innings Berwick slipped in
ne7onrthem IN the eleventh and cinch-
ed'the game,
The game was pitchers battle from
the start and was pretty nifty through
out. "Pinkie" Coveleskie had his
shooting irons in A! working order
beenswith the team. He had fourteen
strikeouts and no passes, the league
record. Berwick had the misfortune
to loose their star twirler, Thompson,
in the fifth, when he was hit by foul
from his own bat and had to retire.
Pace was substituted.
A large bunch of the base ball frat
ernity accompanied the Browns on
their trip to the enemy's country, and
made things hum on the least provocs
tiou.
Neither side scored until the fourth
inning when Danville opened and clos
ed her side of the chalkiug. Thomas
got base.on balls and gained second
on Metzler's sacrifice. Livengood flied
out to right field. Thomas making
third after the throw. Coveleskie's hit
tosoentre brought Thomas over the
plate with our only Bit of JOY. Do
oley, next mau up, flied ont, retiring
the side.

pened that caused much grief and not
a few tears among the faithful. With
Ash on third, Hess in anticipation Of
the squeeze play, played up close.
Coveleskie not seeing him. threw the
ball TO third. Hess failed to connect

There was no further scoring until
the eleventh. In Berwick s half, Dag

to Thomas. Kaiser, next up, hit to
right field, while Pace followed with
hit to center, advancing Kaiser to
third. Mellan knocked long foul to
left field which Mackert caught. The
crowd at third base interfered with
his throwing and Kaiser came home
on the throw with the necessary tally.
