BOROUGH ENGINEER

Engineer c.. f. Keefer yesterday re-
turned to Danville and resumed work
on the survey locating the borough
boundary line.
Yesterday he was working on the
dividing line between the borough and
Mahoning township where il intersects
Bloom street and at points northward.
This is one of the places where the
borough and township authorities do
not seem to agree as to the exact loca-
tion of the line.
Unless delayed by bad weather the
engineer will finish the survey as it
relates to the borough line by Satur-
day.
The next municipal work that Mr.
Kecfer will be called upon to perform
in Danville will he to make "A survey
of the old canal for the purpose of
solving the problem of surface drain
age and making an estimate of the cost
of filling up the disuscd waterway
The survey will be finished as early
as practicable, pursuant TO action of
council taken mt the last meeting and
in order that the d. L. & w. Railroad
company may he enabled to carry out
its plans relating to the abatement of
the canal nuisance at as early date
as possible.

COUNTY INSTITUTE

County Superintendent G. W. Derr,
of Washingtonvillc, was in this city
Tuesday attending to some matters
pertaining to the county institute,
which will be held on the week of
November 29th.
During an interview Mr.. Derr stat
ed that owing to opposition i'll the
school board of the Danville district
he would hold the sessions of the coun-
ty institute in the court house this
year, assuming, of course, that the
room there can be secured. In prob
ably the majority of the counties the
teachers institute is held in the court
house and Mr.. Derr does not anticipate
meeting with any opposition from the
county commissioners.
In the high school the desks serve ~
an aid to the teachers when the latter
are obliged to take notes The cloak
rooms, too available at the high school.
will be missed at the court house but
Mr.. Derr thinks that the latter build
ing in the main will answer the pur-
pose very we'll On certain days when
special features bring out increased
attendance the court room may prove
preferable, preventing the oyercrowd-
ing that now and then made things
unpleasant in the high school auditor
ium.
Still, the county institute has been
held in the high school auditorium for
so many yyears-practically during the
history of the institutc-that any
change at his late day seems like an
innovation. The high school room,
with its atmosphere of learning and
culture, seems logically the place for
holding the sessions of the county in
stitute. In Montour county the high
school room is commodious enough to
meet practically all requirements, and,
for this reason, there seems to be few
persons who question the utility
and the wisdom of making the change
proposed.

EPIDEMIC
On THE WANE

1t was reported at the meeting of
the school board Monday night that the
outbreak of diphtheria and scarlet few
er in the second ward is steadily on
the decline. A sentiment was express
ed in favor of taking action looking to
obtaining IA modification of the health
boards order to the end that the
schools, now closed, may be opened at
the expiration of fourteen instead of
twenty-one days.
The quarantine III it's various rela-
tions became the subject of prolonged
discussion. The fumigation of the
books as conducted was considered as
of doubtful efficacy. Especially was it
deplored that the pupils We're permit
ted to take their books home after
fumigation, retaining them during the
period of quarantine. At all events it
was the consensus of opinion that the
books should be fumigated again ON
the re-opening of the schools. DR..
Shultz, who is secretary of the board
of health, was appealed to for advice,
but he could give no assurance that
the board of health would favorably
consider the proposition to modify or
reduce the quarantine period. Con-
sequently no action was taken.
The question of paying the teachers
of the second ward for the time that
the schools were closed by action of
board of health was discussed at length.
On motion of Mr.. Pursel it was order
ed that the teachers be paid for one
fourth of month, the time taught,
and in case they bring their school up
to the standard, for the entire period
of quarantine.
On motion of Mr.. Pursel it was ord
cred that the schools be closed on Nov
ember oath to remain closed until Dec
ember 6th, covering Thanksgiving and
institute week.

COUNTY INSTITUTE.

Mr.. Fischer reported that County
Superintendent G. w. Derr desired the
use of the high school auditorium for
holding the sessions of the county in
stitute.
In the discussion that followed it
developed that there was considerable
objection TO granting the county sup
eriutcndent the use of the high school
room for holding the county institute.
The room last year, it was explained,
was defaced during institute and left
in "A very dirty condition. Besides, the
institute being a county affair the
board could not see the justice of OBJ
liging the Danville school district to
shoulder the expense of furnishing
fuel and suffering the annoyance,
above complained Of.
The consensus of opinion seemed to
be that the sessions of the county in
stitute should be held in the court
house. No action was taken in tie
matter. The county superintendent.
however. will he apprised of the At

was needed.
4 few minutes afterward, about
the time he thought the policeman was
at safe distance, Jones, who sat at
the end of the table between Squire
Dalton and the door, without the least
warning, arose and made dash for

AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

At the First Baptist church last
evening DR.. Taylor took as his sub
ject: What is Temperance? A scien-
titic Answer. - He began his address
by giving and illustrating his own de-
tinition of temperance, viz Temper
ance is the moderate use of such things
as are good in their essential property.
Alcohol as the essential property of
alcoholic liquors, being a narcotic-irrit-
ant poison, it logically follows he
said, that total abstinence is the only
temperance, and that Prohibition is
the only scientific policy of govern
ment.
After enumerating the several char
acteristics of alcohol as poison,
among which was the universal kill.
ing of all forms of life from microbes
to men, Dr. Taylor closed his address
as follows: "Alcohol kills men. Dur.
ing the war with Spain we lost 250(
soldier boys. During the same time
outside the army we lost 60, 600 mer
from drink. And yet every one of the
go, 600 was as specifically and physiolo
gically killed by aclohol as any soldier
