PUTTING UP THE POLES.

The Columbia Power, Light and
Railways company is hard at work
completing its line between this city
and Bloomsbury, while work at the
same time is being carried on between
Bloomsbury and Berwick. The line
will carry the high tension Harwood
current which in the near future will
be used in this city.
The poles are already erected from
Bloomsbury eight miles toward Dan
Vile, the line running along the Frosty
Valley road. This morning a gang of
men will begin putting up the poles
from this end. The wires to be used
are on hand III Bloomsbury and will
be quickly strung. The Columbia COM
pany has capacity at the Blooms
burg Irondale plant greater than is
utilized and if the line is completed
before the Harwood- Berwick line is
I done, Irondale current will be used
temporarily in this city.
The officers of the Columbia COM
! pillN state tildt lIltN are HuStIlHS every
day to get a good quality of current
into Danville to take the place Of that
now furnished by the out Of date mach
inery in use here. They promise a flaw
less service when their system is
moulded into proper shape.
The line which the Columbia COM
pany is now building in Frosty Valley
is of very substantial construction
made necessary by the high voltage
which it will carry.

LAST LEAGUE GAME HERE.

1t is likely that the last game of the
Susqeuhanna league season will be
played in this city next Saturday with
Benton, although the game is schedu-
led to be played at Benton. The
change will be made at the request of
the Benton management which be-
lieves that more money can be made
out of the game by accepting guar
antee from Danville than by playing
on their home grounds. Incidentally
it is interesting to note that all games
have been played by Danville ON the
home grounds since August 2Sth, the
last one away from home being the
memorable one with Shickshinny on
that date.

Summary of Games
SECOND GAME.

Umpire Hagemyer gave the crowd
ten minutes intermission between acts
for the spectators to stretch and then
called the second bout with the same
battery for Danville and Dougher in
the box for Shickshinny.
1t was repetition, with the excep-
tion that Shickshinny failed to score
at all in the second game, after coming
near to it more times than they did in
the first
Danville made sure of this game in
the opening session. Hess wormed ii
pass ont of Dougher and went to sec
ond on Livengood's bunt He scored
the first tally on Umlaufs' two bagger
into left Shickshinny stcmmed the tide
at that, although the innings ended
with two Danville runners on base.
The second was fruitful inning
with two pairs of Danville feet brush
ing the pan. Dooley drove Il hot one
TO Morris at third whose iuggle allow
ed the Danville catcher to reach first /;
he stole second and reached third on a
bad throw scoring on MetZler's bound
er into right. Kelly sacrificed Reds"
to second and he went to third while
Hess was being thrown out at first.
The bright headed one then sank his
spikes in the plate when Livengood
rolled an infield hit.
Umlauf took the final tally in the
seventh by singling with two out, and
then scoring on a passed ball and a
wild pitch.

ON THE CANAL.

Division Engineer White and cou-
pie of assistants appeared in this city
yesterday and entered on some work
preliminary to cleaning up the old
canal, if not the filling up of the same
as tacitly agreed to by the engineer on
his visit here some three weeks ago.
The division engineer declared yes
terdav that the ID. L. q w. Railroad
company will faithfully carry out all
its promises. He regretted that the
owners of the canal had been unable
to do anything before, but explained
that progress i'll such matters is neces-
arily slow The ID. l.. e W. Railroad
company, he declared, is just as eager
as the citizens of Danville to get rid
of the canal nuisance and there was
no inclination, whatever, to default
There isn't much satisfaction in
figuring out how you were beaten. but
it may save you from another defeat.

OBSERVED HIS
lOlST BIRTHDAY

II anyone wishes TO observe an OBJ
ject lesson showing how person may
grow old gracefully" he should give
heed to the life of Michael Powers,
Centre street, who yesterday observed
his 101st birthday.
Those persons who congratulated
Michael one year ago ON having round
ed out "A century of life and assured
him that he was good for another
birthday and probably many others
proved to be true prophets. At the eX-
piratiou of another year the venerable
man is still with us-every whit as
well preserved and healthful, his eye
as bright, his hearing as good and his
mind as clear as when he observed his
one-hundredth birthday.
\ visit to Mr. Powers yesterday
found him occupying his easy chair.
He was in cheerful-even jolly frame
of mind. He fully appreciates the fact
that it is phenomenal thing for Il
man to live beyond a hundred years
and to retain his health and faculties
as he has done.
The aged man explained that he has
much, indeed, to be thankful for He
has not an infrmity, physical or men
tai, to detract from the pleasure of liv-
ing. He attributes his excellent pres
ervation to his good habits You
know he remarked. lit is a great
deal for one to take care of himself -
He asserted that he could easily walk
two miles Il day, but he added philoso-
phically: God knows | have walked
enough in my life. - He believes in
conserving his strength and, while up
to IA few months ago it was quite a
common thing for him to enjoy walk
to DeWitt's park, he does not think it
best for him now to indulge in such
strenuous exercise.
The old man is thoroughly in touch
and, it might be added, in sympathy
with the every day life of the world.
Il am very happy he said. Il have
SO many good friends All the peopl,
treat me SO kindly He was especial.

SUCCESSOR TO
DR.. |. G. BARBER

William L. Slider, Esq, was elect
ed Monday night school director of the
first ward to succeed DR.. |. G.. Bar
Der, whose resignation was accepted
at the previous meeting.
The matter came up for the first
thing after convening. Mr.. Swarts
nominated William /. Slider as di-
rector to fill the vacancy existing. \
vote was taken, Mr.. Sidler receiving
the unanimous support of the board.
He was accordingly declared elected
He later appeared and after taking the
oath of office took the vacant seat III
the board.
DR.. Shultz reported that he was hav-
ing a sample of Crystal water analyz-
ed in the State laboratory.
Mr.. Burns reported that there is a
great deal OF diphtheria in the second
ward; also one case of scarlet fever.
He contended that the rules and regul-
ations controlling intercourse with in
fected families are by no means rigid
enough. He cited instances in which
children of ncighbOrs have been OBJ
served to enter infected houses at plea
sure also instances in which children
of infected houses have been known to
enter other houses where disease does
not exist.
The matter was discussed at length,
it being the consensus of opinion that
the board of health should take hold
of the matter and see to it that rules
of quarantine are established suffici-
entity rigid to prevent unnecessary
spread of disease.
Mr.. Fischer reported adversely ON
the proposition to remove blinds in
the fourth ward school building and
hang curtains in their stead. On mo-
tion it was accordingly decided not to
remove the blinds.
Mr.. Cole reported that he had OBJ
served a pupil of the first ward school
smoking while on the school ground.
The rules relating to the conduct of
pupils while under the teachers con-
troll were adverted to, when it was
found that as penalty for the otfense
above mentioned the pupil may be de-
prived of the privilege of leaving the
school ground mt recess.
The borough superintendent took
note of the incident and will report
the matter to teacher of the guilty boy.

In fastening themselves TO the pair
of games Saturday the Danville team
turned as neat and satisfactory trick
as has been witnessed this season, end
ing the agony of the close finish and
packing the Susquchanna league
championship for the season of 1909
away safely where sullied hands can
not touch it.
The scare of Friday at being forced
into two games with padded team
did not materialize. Quite wisely the
Danville management decided to go
into the two games with its regular
signed lineup and win them if it could.
The wisdom of this decision became
evident as the play proceeded and it
was seen that the locals, headed by the
modest and mighty Covelesl,ie, would
not accord Shickshinny look in.
From start to finish in both games
there was nothing TO it but Danyille.
And yet the advantage of the locals
over the Shinnyitcs was not great
enough to become monotonous.
The brunt of the battle was should
cred by Covclesbie. Slowly, but with
fatal regularity. he swept one after
another Shickshinny batter into his
strike out bag. For sixteen innings
the procession lasted and during all
that time but eight extra men faced
the Silent Pole. OF the Sc Shickshin-
nv batters upon whom Pinkie smiled
% famed the breezes. In both games
he gave but four passes and allowed
the visitors to purloin but five hits.
He was undoubtedly the shining star
of Saturdays two games, and Danville
gives him the credit which is his due
for a good fellow and the best pitch
er in the Susquehanna league.
With the stick Umlauf, Livengood
and Metzler lead for Danville Um-
lauf in the two games had two singles
and two doubles and scored two of
Danville's runs Livengood had three
sacrifices and two hits and got on base
two extra times by being hit by a
pitched ball. Reds Metzler had two
beautiful wallops and sacrificed twice.
The playing of the Danville team all
around was fine enough to bring out
unstinted praise of the fans. All kinds
of chances were accepted. Only one
error was made and that by Thomas
at first, whose otherwise superb game
with an almost disabled hand excuses
his one misplay.

FIRST GAME.

Although there was no announcement
from the powers as to the time of open
ing the game, yet the crowd was on
hand before two o'clock determined
not to miss any of the proceedings.
AT 2:25, Eastern time, Umpire Hag-
meyer announced that Harmed and
Payton would be the battery for Shick-
shiny and that Coveleskie and Dooley
would tend to things for Danville.
The crowd received the announcement
with cheers and then with bated breath
watched the first Skinny batter step
