OPINION HANDED DOWN.

I'm re road in Limestone township
Judge Evans handed down an opinion
sur exceptions to report of viewers
filed June Z, 1909
These exceptions refer to the fifth
view had to vacate and relay portion
of certain public road in Limestone
township. The first three views were
set aside by opinions of the court,
The fourth set of viewers appoint
ed the same day the report of the third
set of viewers was set aside, reported
in favor of vacating and relaying a
portion of said road. There were no
exceptions filed to the report of the
fourth set of viewers.
January %, 1909, eleven days after
the final confirmation of the report the
fifth set of reviewers were appointed,
which June T, 1909, reported against
the proposed changes of the said road.
Counsel in requesting the appoint
ment of reviewers, the fifth set, on
Jan. %, 1909, undoubtedly overlooked
and lost sight of the fact that a fourth
set of viewers had been appointed
August s, 1908, who had qualified and
reported and whose report had been
confirmed prior TO the appointment
made January 22 1909.
1.-The appointment of reviewers
Jan. %, 1909, upon the petition filed
May %, 1908, to await disposition of
exceptions was erroneous. There was
no road to review at which their ap-
pointment was aimed.
'The first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth
and eighth exceptions are sustained
and the report of the reviewers filed
June Z, 1909, is accordingly set aside.

Blew Nose--Broke Leg.

Sylvester Meserovich, proprietor of
the Mt. Carmel House at Mt. Carmel,
met with peculiar accident Tuesday
afternoon when he broke his right leg
while blowing his nose. Sylvester was
sitting on an easy chair ON the porch
of his home when he decided to re-
lieve the pressure upon his nasal ap-
pendage, said pressure being resultant
from severe cold. He walked to the
curb and as he leaned forward to ac-
complish the operation he lost his bal
ance and fell headlong into the gutter,
breaking the limb near the ankle. He
was removed to the Miners Hospital
yesterday morning to undergo an op-
Grafton and to have the fracture re-.
duced.

ing the rails in paving with the pro-
posed brick. Mr.. Lyons said he re-
garded the blocking up of the track
one and a half inches as required,
thoroughly practicable, as he had seen

cred that the Danville and Sunbury
Transit company be granted permis-
sion to block up its track as required
in order to raise it to the same height

is sufficient for town the size of Dan
Vile. The motion was lost.

against the republican party IS as pro

would make it seem certain that there
