IMPORTANT SEWER
EXTENSION

The borough has made an extension
Of both the water and the sewer sys-
tens on Hemloca street. The water
pipe was laid couple of weeks age.
The work on the sewer is just about
completed at present.
The extension Of the two systems
takes in Hemlcck street between Mill
and Ferry streets. the water pipe ly-
ing on the southern side of the drive
way and the sewer on the northern
side. This section of Hemlock street
was badly in need OF water and the
extension was not made too soon The
laying Of the sewer was equally es-
sentisl, as several Of the property own
ers desire to connect in order to obta II
cellar drainage.
Sewer extensions this year have al
ready been made on several different
streets, while further extensions are
contemplated. 1t will not be long nm
til the system will cover the entire
town.
II the present trend be taken as
criterion it will not be many years
until every house will be connected
with a sewer, changing the aspect of
the town considerably and bringing
about more pleasant and ssnstory con-
ditIons.

CATAWISSA BAND
IS EMPLOYED

The Trl-County Farmers picnic as
ISOLATION held az important meeting
at the court house Saturday night, at
which the arrangements for the fifth
annual outing we're practically com
pleted
On motion it was decided TO employ
the Catawissa band, which will be on
hand with some thirty pieces, arriving
about 9 o'clock III the morning and re.
manning until between and O'Clock
in the evening.
For the dance Miles and Foulk's or
chesrra Of five pieces will be employ
ed
To help the dancing along il was
decided to employ man as floor man
ager and another 10 call of. -
1t was reported st the meeting that
all the men-some nalt dozen-who
were employed as gatemen last year
had indicated their Willingness to serve
again at the coming outing. The gate
men will be sworn in as last year and
empowered to make arrests, should
there he any disorder Badges will be
procured for them Ribbons for the
officers aud committeeman will also be
provided.
In anticipation OF an enormous turn
out it was decided 10 order five thou
sand tickets or tags, which IS more
than double the number that was used
last year. The color selected for the
tags rhis wear is yellow in order that
they may be distinguished from those
OF the last oating, which were green.
A. last year a general invitation
will be extended to the public, Ii
seemed to be the sense Of tie members
OF the association present that it would
contribute much TO the success Of the
Tri County picnic, if the stores OF
Dauville were closed during the after
noon OF August 18th. II was decided.
however, to make no such request OF
the merchants, leaving it entirely TO
their own pleasure whether they shall
close or not.

practice of former years be followed

LIQUOR license
transferred

A short session of court was held
| Saturday at which liquor license on
North Mill street was transferred from
| Patrick McOaffrey TO Peter Treas. y
feature of the proceedings was an all
onymous letter addressed to the court,
which evoked from Judge Evans some
structures relating to the writers OF
anonymous letters in general.
Ralph Kisuer represented the petit
tiouer. J. Q. Poifer, Peter McCann,
Lawrence Counolley, Patrick Finley,
and John CrilIey, in succession were
called TO the stand and testified as to
the applicants integrity. sobriety and
general good character.
Hon. II. NJ. Hinokley, who repre-
sented the remonstTance against the
transfer OF license at that stand two
weeks before, informed the court that
he had reason to believe that the pro-
ceedings were blind" and tnat the
party who would really be in charge
of the saloon was altogether another
person. He therefore asked the right
10 cross examine the witnesses. There
being no vamOnstrance in this case
cross examination was objected 70 by
Mr. Kisner. In discussing the ques-
tiou the court took occasion to remark
that the transferring Of license had be
come an intolerable nuisance Mr..
Hinckley was permitted TO cross eX.
anime.
Peter Treas, the applicant. was put
upon the stand. He is thirty-eight
years old and at present has employ
ment as plumber s helper at the hos.
pital for the insane. His mother owns
the building at which the transfer of
license is sought. He assured the court
that il granted the license he would
conduct the saloon himself, and that
there would be no evasion about it
At this juncture Attorney Ralph
Kisner assured tine court that he had
Investigated the matter fully and that
he felt convinced that the applicant
was sincere. He went on record as
stating that il at any time he discov-
cred that Peter Treas was not in actu-
al charge he would be the first one to
move for the revocation of the licence.
1t was at this iuuoture that Judge
Evans alluded 10 the anonymous let-
ter. which he said could be very prop
erlv read after Mr.. Kisner's remarks
He presented the letter merely for
what il was worth-uot because any
Importance is to be attached TO al an
onymous communication. He char
acterized the writer of an anonymous
letter as a moral coward
The letter purported to be written
by woman and she gave fear of bodi.
ly harm as the reason for withholding
her name. The letter alleged shame
full violation of the law and begged
the court not to make the transfer. 1t
declared in effect that the whole pro
ceeding was a blind-that the apple.
ant was TO continue on in his present
position and that another-who hsd
boasted he would "pul the wool over
the eyes of the court would be the
person in charge.
Peter Treas, the applicant, made
favorable impression The court took
him at his word. The transfer 0t H.
cense was granted with the strict IN
derstanding that the applicant be ac:u-
ally in charge.
