REORGANIZATION
IS COMPLETED

The macadamization of East Front
street, work on which has been under
way since August, is now completed
and the borough of Danville has one
more fine street to add to its several
improved thoroughfares. sa
Fifty-five carloads of crushed lime
stone shipped froui Almedia were used
in the macadamization of the street.
The cost of the material with freight
added is not less than $4,000. The to-
tai cost including labor is probably a
couple of hundred dollars additional
The street is now in most excellent
condition. \ few of the sidewalks, it
is true, need repairs in order that they
may appear in keeping with the street
This is a matter that will be taken up
between the present and winter and
there is no doubt but that pavements
Will be relaid where necessary.
The improvement of East Front street
at such considerable expense, of course,
precludes the possibility of paving on
that thoroughfare for many years.
Last year quite IA sentiment was work
ed up among the residents in favor OF
paving but something less than the re-
quired number of signers were obtain
ed and the proposition fell through.

LOW MORTALITY
HIGH BIRTH RATE

The report of the local registrar to
the bureau of vital statistics for the
month of September shows an unusual
ly low. mortality, there being only
seventeen deaths reported, six of which
occurred at the hospital for the insane.
In August there were twenty-six
deaths; in June and July each there
were twenty three deaths. In contra

birth rate continues high, the number
of births reported for August being
thirty three. In July the same number
of births were reported; in June there
were twenty seven births.
AS was the case in August no typhoid
fever was reported in September. The
maximum number of cases of this dis
ease was reached in May, when seven
cases We're reported. The disease dim
inished until July when only two cases
were reported. The disease now seems
to be etfectually eradicated

ROBBED HIS FIANCEE.

William Gacinsky of Shamokin, was
convicted in the Northumberland coun-
ty court at Sunbury of robbing his in
tended bride, Miss Ellen Borcswick.
He had obtained a marriage license,
engaged the preacher and completed
other details for the happy event.
On the night before the day set for
the wedding he got hold of the girls
pocketbook, which contained $54, and
disappeared. He was arrested some
time later.
In passing sentence, Judge Savidge
said the prisoner was entitled to "A
full-sized palm for meanness and sent
him to the Eastern penitentiary for a
term of not less than six months or
more than three years at hard labor.

NOT GUILTY ON
MURDER CHARGE

Joe Kochefskie was set free from the
Northumberland county prison at Sun
bury on Saturday morning after hav-
ing been confined there for over two
years, first for highway robbery and
then for the murder of Charles Yesal-
onious, for which latter crime Stan
ney Marcavitch is now under sentence
of death. Kochefskie served out his
sentence for highway robbery and dur
ing Friday night was found not guilty
of the murder of the cobbler.
The trial of Kochefskie was under
way for several days of last week at
Sunbury and came to close Friday
night. AT $50 O'Clock the court finish
ed its charge to the jury, and the
twelve men retired to deliberate. 1t
was generally thought that the evid-
ence was not strong enough to convict
in the first degree. 1t was evident
that the jury was of the same opinion
before they left the court room. Be-
tween II and / O'Clock Saturday morn
ing they sent word to Judge Savidge
who had been waiting for them, that
they had arrived AT "A verdict.
Kochefsllie was brought to the court
house Saturday morning. He wore his
best clothes and for one of his class
gave the impression of being a we'll
dressed young man. His menacles We're
gone, and he waved his hand as he
passed occasional acquaintances ON the
street.
, He was notified that the jury had
found him not guilty and was then r
! leased.
Marcayitch was present in court on
Friday. 1t is probable that this is the
last time he will leave the county jail
alive. His death warrant was with.
| drawn by Governor Stuart with great.
est reluctance in order that Kochefsllit
might be tried, and his evidence wa.
necessary to conviction. The board ot
pardons will likely take up his case
| this month. Their decision will un
| doubtedly be TO refuse to commute luS
sentence to life Imprisonment. The
date of execution will then be again
fixed, and the sentence of death carri-
ed out
That Kochefskie may be guilty O
the crime is just as possible now as j
was before the trial. The evidenc,
points to his completely and yet tn,
absolute evidence is lacking. The fac
that Marcavitch himself had beel
found guilty of the crime lessened th'
value of his testimony. Had anyon
seen Kochefskie near the cobbler'
shop; had any of the cobbler's none,
been found ON him, it would have beel
different

A WIDESPREAD
ROAD CAMPAIGN

In recognition of the interest mani
tested by local officials of the Pennsyl-

Atlanta Constitution was sent to this
city from the general offices in Phila-
delphia: .-
Instinctively conceding, the prim-
ary interest of the railroad in the i'm
provement of public highways a recent
step by B. F. Yoakman, head of the
Rock Island system, is calculated to
indefinitely further the propaganda in
the southern and southwestern states.
Mr.. Yoakman recently addressed men,
bers of the Farmers union in Oklaho-
ma, telling them that multiplying
farm products meant more to the ma
tion than a prodigious navy. Follow
mig up his theories with substantial
demonstration, he has invited presi-
dents of the Farmers unions of Ark
ansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas
to be his guests in a tour of the states
in the east and the middle west where
road building has been most sensiblv
exploited 1t is likely the invitation
will be accepted

Commenting on the Yoakman pol

wisely says Underlying the problem
of good roads is the question, not only
of knowledge, but question of money.
The knowledge can be had from many
sources. The financial factor should be
disposed of by demonstrating that the
roads will add very much more value
of the lands they penetrate than they
cost in taxes.
The connection between good roads
aud increased property values and uni
versal prosperity is we'll established il
