COMMUNICATION
FROM R. NJ. WHITE

A communication was received from
an official of the D. & w. Railroad
company yesterday, which would in
dicate that the filling up and obliteIa-
tion of the old canal is practically as
far off as ever.
Councilmen are authority for the
statement that representative of the
d. L. & W. Railroad company while
in this city few weeks ago went on
record as favoring the construction of
a six foot brick sewer in the bottom of
the canal to take care of the surface
drainage, the scheme, rof course, inn
plying that the canal was to be filled
up. The representative further ex-
planned that at the next meeting of
council-to be held May Sth-the D.
l.. & W. Railroad company would
submit its proposition.
No such communication, however,
was received by the borough and the
matter was so reported at the last
meeting. Pursuant to instructions Bor-
ough Secretary Harry B. Patton ad
dressed communication to the D. L.
& w. company protesting against the
delay and calling attention to the in
tolerable conditions relating to the old
canal.
A reply was received yesterday, the
letter which was signed by the Divis
ion Engineer, being as follows:
Dear Sir:-In regard to the canal
matter will state that we find this to
be very complex situation in that it
would be impossible to fill up this ca
nal without the town taking care Of
flood waters and sewage which goes
into it.
1.-The mere filling up Of the canal
will not take care of conditions until
the outside drainage which runs into
it is disposed of. This question of
drainage and sewage is distinctly up
to the town and is not one in which
we are in any way interested except
that we would probably be willing to
go along to certain extent in case
the situation were treated as whole.
Yours truly,
r. NJ. WHITE,
Division Engineer. -

OUT FOR PRESIDENT.

As the time for holding the Six
County Firemen's S convention at Shen-
andoah draws near candidates for the
presidency to succeed John G.. Waite,
of this city, are looming MP.
The most likely man who has thus
far appeared is William f. Schultz, of
Shenandoah, president of the Rescue
Hook & Ladder company and president
of the Firemen' s Relief association, of
that place. He is also a member of the
Mine Examining board in the Shenan'
doah district.
Mr.. Schultz attended the convention
in Danville last June, and announced
his candidacy at that time and die
some splendid missionary work among
the delegates here at that time. He
has Schuylkill county solidly at his
back and expects to corner enough
votes to win on June l4th, the date
of the convention.

MUSICALE TOMORROW
r. NJ. WHITE,
Division Engineer,

The musicale, the first one of the
closing exercises of the public schools,
will take place at | AS O'Clock tomor-
row afternoon.
In former years the musicale was
held in the high school auditorium.
The number participating comprised
only small proportion of the number
enrolled, six to eight only being select
ed from each room. This year all the
pupils of all the schools will partici
pate.
It has been arranged to hold the
musicale in each of the wards, as fol-
lows: First ward, Miss Gallagher's
room; second ward Miss Goodall's
room; third ward, Miss Musselman'
room fourth ward, Miss Bloom 5 room.
In each of these rooms the seating
capacity will be reserved for visitors,
none of the7pupils being in the room
except to render the exercises. The
pupils of the primary grade will sing
first. They, will retire and the pupils
of the second grade will take their
places. These in turn will be followed
by the third grade and so on until the
eight grades have been heard. Thus
the visitors will have an opportunity
of judging not only as to the protici-
ency Of the pupils but will see the
work as it is adapted to the different
grades. Patrons of the schools are
earnestly requested to attend.
/ The grammar school commencement
will take place next Thursday. There
will be no admission except by cards,
which will be distributed only among
adults.

No NOTICEABLE
PHENOMENA

The earth last night cleaved its way
through the tail of the great Halley's
comet-assuming that the latter was
long enough to sweep the earth's orbit
and so far as observations here ex-
tended there was no meteoric or
auroral display, no phenomena in the
least unusual.
Thus were verified the theories of
scientists; for among these the con-
sensus of opinion seemed to be that
not only would the earth sustain no
injury but also that there would be no
phenomena to mail k its passage through
the comets tail-with the possible ex-
ception of the aurora borealis or a
meteoric display.
Seldom has an event in nature arous-
ed such interest and inflamed the inn
agination of people as has the much
discussed Halley's comet and especial
ly the passage of our planet through
its tail, which was scheduled to take
place last night. That many persons,
who were looking forward to new
experience in their lives, were disap-
pointed at the absence of noticeable
phenomena goes without saying.
The authorities seemed to differ as
to the exact hour when the earth might
plunge into the comets tail. The time
set varied from Z :52 to IL 30 p. m.
During this long interval the heavens
were scanned by hundreds of people
occupying every available vantage
point. The sky was clear with the
moon-in its first quarter-shining
brightly. There were no meteors, how
ever, no electrical effects visible.
Up.to nearly the hour of midnight a
number of people were out on the
streets anxious to witness any phenom-
enona that might occur. The river
bridge, which afforded an unobstruct-
ed view of the heavens, was favorite
promenade.
The comet is now no longer visible
in the eastern sky. According to some
authorities it may be family visible
tonight in the western sky between
and p. III. Others are of the opinion
that it can not be seen until tomorrow
night when it will be visible for one
hour after sunset.

HOLLOBAUGH RECOVERED

Earl Hollobaugh, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Hollobaugh, North Mill
street, who was critically injured while
alighting from a freight train near
West Milton on Monday, April 25th,
was yesterday discharged from the
Mary Packer hospital at Sunbury and
returned to his home here last even
ing.
The case of young Hollobaugh is re-
markable. When his mangled body was
taken to Sunbury after the accident
the most optimistic would not admit
that his recovery was possible. Yet
day after day he continued to keep his
hold on life until finally he gathered
sufficient strength to stand an opera
ton and the clot was removed that
had been pressing on his brain. The
opening made in the skull exposed the
brain in such dangerous place that a
plate could not be used. The skin has
already knit over the opening, how
ever, and the young man is almost
fully recovered His left foot, which
; was mangled by the wheels, was
amputated three inches above the
ankle.
Young Hollobaugh was accompanied
last evening by his mother and both
spoke very highly of the care and skill
full treatment received by the patient
at the Packer hospital.

OWEGO BRIDGE co
WAS THE LOWEST

The Owego Bridge Co., of Owego,
n. Y, was awarded the contract for
building four county bridges, at reg
ular meeting of the commissioners held
Saturday. There were seven firms bid
ding, the Owego company being low
est ON all of the bridges.
Following are the firms that sub
mitted bids, along with their repre-
sentatives that were present at the
meeting York Bridge company, Boyd

pany, +. A. Case.
OF the bridges to be built two will
be located in Derry township at
Boone's and Watts farms, respective
ly, one will be at Kelley's in Liberty
township and the other, known as No.
81, will be in Anthony township. The
largest will be seventy-five feet long
and sixteen feet wide; the remaining
three will be, respectively, forty-six,
thirty-seven and twenty-one feet in
length, the width of each being four
teen feet.
The bids relating to each of the
bridges were as follows:

The Owego Bridge company being
the lowest ON all the bridges it was
awarded the contract for the work.
At the meeting the commissioners
took action relating to the painting OF
the river bridge, the contract for which
will be awarded next Saturday. Ii
order that the contract may not fal
into the hands of persons of slight ex
perience, who have bid without full
knowledge of what is involved ant
therefore may prove incapable of car
rying the work through to finish, il
was decided to reject all bids that are
not accompanied with references ties
tifving as to the bidders experienc,
and their ability to tackle a PROPOSE
tion as big as the river bridge.
Aside from the skill and eXperienc,
required a vast amount of equipment
such as block and tackle and scatfold
ing of all kinds will be needed. Th,
county commissioners feel that sucl
action as taken Saturday is essentia
in order to avoid the contingency o
having an unfinished job thrown bacl
on their hands.

Columbia county for its second league
game of the season on Saturday and
defeated Benton on their own back lot
by score of to 3. 1t was very differ
ent sort of game from the Danville-
Benton contest of week ago, the play
of both sides being replete with fast,
headv work.
The Danville team made the thirty
mile trip to Benton in GreenOugh's
big sight seeing automobile. On the
car beside the Danville team were a
half dozen fans and these together
with others who made the trip in 9TH
er ways made total of about thirty
rooters who lined up to yell the Browns
to victory.
Following the loose playing of Dan
Vile in the Milton game of last Fri
day, Manager Hoffman gave the club
a shaking up that landed number of
the players in new positions. When
the first Benton batter stepped to the
plate he found Buck" Umlauf facing
him from his old position at short,
Livengood had taken Niple's place on
second and the latter went to the first
station; Hagy went out into right
garden. These are all positions to
which the players are used. The shift
! ing seemed to be productive of good
results.
The Benton team, too, seemed to
have found themselves. After Long
had been replaced in the box by the
young southpsw, Thompson, i'll the
| third the Fishingcreekers held the
! Champs scoreless. Thompson, who did
not make particularly brilliant show
ing in the game here week ago, on
Saturday had his fighting clothes on,
and completely mystitied Danville's
heaviest hitters. He also had comfort
ing support.
Danville registered the first tally in
the second. With one down Hagy beat
one into right field for single and
stole second while Veith was flying
out to centre field. Mackert drove one
to first base which Haefele failed to get
and Hagy scored, before Kelly went
down.
In the third Head Coach Brannen
noticed that Benton's third baseman
was playing rather deep and advised
Young, first up, to lay down a bunt,
which the pitcher did and beat it out.
Umlauf repeated the trick and Liven-
good didto, loading the cushions with
nobody out. Captain Nipple then lam.
med the leather into left field for two
bases, scoring Young and Umlauf.
After Niple's two bagger Long left
the box and Thompson took up the
pitchers duties for Benton. Wagner
next up. laid one down toward thirc
and Livengood was thrown out at the
plate, Wagner resting on first. Wagner
stole second while Hagy was striking
out Veith then drove two bagge,
into left field scoring Nipple and Wag
ner Mackert was passed but Kell,
followed with strike out retiring til,
side.
, That ended Danville scoring. Fou
} scattered hits was the best that Thomp
J son would allow after the third and il
: the last six innings but three extri
batters faced the Benton twirler.
