IN Session

James T. Magill was reelected wat
er commissioner. to serve for the next
three years, at regular meeting OF
council Friday night.
On motion Peter J. Keefer was re-
elected superintendent OF the water
works without any opposition to serve
for the ensuing year.
On motion the four employes-Ed- i
ward f. Bell and Jacob Byerly, eng
ineers, and Edward Wertman and
George Hullihen, fremen-were re-
elected without any opposition to serve
during the ensuing year.
On motion of Mr.. Pursel it was
ordered that the borough solicitor be
instructed to bring suit against the
Danville and Bloomsbury Street Rail-
way company to recover all costs, &C.,
paid by this borough in the trial OF
the case OF Mary A. Densberger against
the borough of Danville and for which
said company is liable under the terms
of its contract with this borough in
the extension and regarding of A
street.
The proposition to pave East Market
street is beginning to attract repre-
sentatives of the various brick manu-
featuring firms to Danville. George
B. McGrath, representative OF the
Bessemer Limestone company OF
Youngstown, o., was present at coun-
Gil Friday night. His company manu-
factures a ten pound red shale block,
the company's yards being located in
the western part of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. McGrath at considerable length
explained the STANDARD Rather
Test" to which paving blocks at the
present are mostly subjected by up-to-
date municipalities before they are ad-
opted for use on the streets.
W. II. Wason, general superintend-
ent of American Union Telephone
company, of Harrisburg, appeared be-
fore council protesting against the
granting of franchise to the Peoples
Telephone company. which he said in
return for the privilege of bringing its
wires into Danville on the poles of the
American Union Telephone company
had agreed not to disturb conditions
by applying for an ordinance to build
its lines in Danville.
He called attention to the fact that
the citizens of Danville through the
phones of the American Union Tele-
phone company can use the Peoples
Ideal line and have full benefit Of the
latter's service. II a franchise be
granted to the Peoples Ideal line it
will become necessary for citizens to
install an additional phone, which,
with the American and the Bell, will
run the number of phones up to three
An unnecessary burden, which peo-
pie should not be asked to shoulder.
In addition the subject of poles must
be taken into consideration. Our streets
are already heavily burdened with
poles and it was urged that the num-
ber should not be increased by grant
ing the franchise in question in view
of the we'll established fact that we al
ready have abundant and reliable tele-
phone service.

Copenhauen Charorinned.

Copenhagen, Dec. 22.-The morning
papers generally find comfort for the
zoo affair in the thought that the
only fault that may be charged against
the Dane is that they accepted the
explorers claims as that of a gentle
man.
The Politician says: cranky we
regret only tina a honorary degree
was bestowed upon this man by the
University of Copenhagen. But one
member Of the university counselled
against the action AIKEN
The kobenhaven says: Cooks
abasing of our university is his great
est shame. Fortunately the university
itself tells the world of its mistake"
Other papers recall that all Scandi-
navian explorers who were acquainted
with Cook, supported him and insist
that under the circumstances any
other city would have given the ex-
plorer a similar reception. They tnti-
mate that at the time other cities
envied Copenhagen in the opportunity
to be the first to welcome and honor
him.
