OQVIITTEG AT LARGE APPOINTcD The Committee at Large to posh the work of soliciting for the Soldiers' Monument has been appointed and will begin work immediately- The entire oonnty will be handed over to the new committee, which will make a house to honse canvass and will not stive op | outii the necessary amount has been raised. Hon. James Foster, Chairman of the Soldiers' Monument Committee, an ticipates gratifying results with the Committee at Large in the field. On the Committee are H. A. Kueibler, a veteran of the Civil War and Frank G. School), a patriotic young towns man, both of whom have a wide ac quaintance throughout Dauville and Montour County. The Soldiers' Monument Committee has labored very diligently, but it has met with many disappointments. Nevertheless a considerable sum of money has been subscribed,quite suffi cient to put the enterprise on its feet. Under the cironmstanoes the Commit tee has no thought ot abandoning the proposition, without additional effort. It is earnestly hoped that the two men just appointed may be able to pull the work through to a successful finish. It would be too bad if little Montour with its inspiring war reoord should be one of the very few counties in the State that is to have no soldiers' monu ment. Obviously a great deal, if not all, rests with the citizens. If the people show a williuguess to subscribe and extend the proper euoouragement the committee will be sure to succeed, while on the other hand it will re quire at this crisis a very little of the opposite treatment to discourage the solicitors and to chill the whole enter prise.

WEST MARKET STREETPAVEMENT At a meeting of the Couuty Com missioners ou Saturday that body took further action on the pavement at the Court House. -It was decided to re place the stone sidewalk along West Market street with a oouorete pave ment to correspond with the front of the building. The oontraot was award ed to T. L. Evans' Sons, who are do ing the conorete work iu the front of tlig building. The stone along West Market street, like those iu frout of the Court House, are not in a very good oouditlon after nearly forty years' service aud ex posure to the olimate. It iB doubtful whbtlier enough first olass stone oould be obtained from the whole lot to re lay the West Market street pavement. It was therefore decided to use con crete and to get rid of the stone for what they would bring. They are mnali in demand for aeitaln purposes aud some have already been sold. In putting down the oouorete pave ment it will be necessary to get rid ot the row of trees that lines the ourb aloug West Market street as well as those in front of the Court House and the removal of the whole lot lias been decided upon by the County Commis sioners. The trees in front are by no means in a thriving oouditiou and will not be muoh missed; the others, on Market street,are doing vory well, bnt it will be impossible to lay a oouorete pavement without removing them ;be sidos their plaoe will be protty well supplied by the parallel row of trees on the Court House lawn, which are growing fluoly. The new pavement along side the building will be ten feet wide. The pavement lu front, whore excavation 1b iu progross, is twenty-two feet wide. Automatic Clock Company.

A Connecticut judge has rendered a decision in an automobile ciso which will be a relief to the automobile own ers,who contend that each case should 1 be deoldod upon the ovidenoe submitt -1 ed to the court, and not on the gener al principle which prevails in some 1 communities that the automobile is a danger which must he suppressed. The 1 defendant in the case in question had beeu arreßted hi the town of Stamford for driving his machine through tlio outskirts of tho town taster than the Oounootiout statute allows—l 2 miles an hour. His defense was that he was uot disobeying the law intontioually, but was tryiug to get his car down to the speed limit when tho olfloer held him up. After the evidence was heard ; he was fined fl. In the decision Judge : Downs, while properly upholding the ' statute as a salutary oue, its purpose beiug to prevent thernnniug of motor vehioles iu such a manner as to en -1 danger life and property,declared that its enforcement should be marked by I the exeroise of good sense, aud that : severe penalties should be imposed ' only where the evidenoe shows that > the spirit of the law lias been violat ed. This deoision has been widely ap proved and will probably be followed by oourts in other states This is a Strange Case. Although the public at large is un aware of the fact, it seams, according to attempts that have been mide with in the past week, that a determined effort has beeu made to assassinate Nelsou Hoover, a Shamokiu young man, who is now a patient iu the Mary Paoker Hospital,Saabury, whore he <9 suffering from a ballet wound iu the left hand. Wlillo returning from Uiokory Ridge oolllery two weeks ago Hoover was at tacked on the hill near Maysville by a fellow he believed to be a Ger man. The fellow held in his hand a stiletto and would have out him into pieces had it not been for a penknife with whloh the victim defended him self. As it was lie was frightfully cut about the chest before the would-be murderer fled upon the approach of miuerß. 3 Hoovor says it was precisely the same fellow who attacked him at tho r rear of Mullen's foundry last Satur , day night. The villaiu had a compan ; ion and they threw a bag over the vio- H tiin's head while he was oil his way to the Grand Hotel, whero he boards. Being of a strong constitution he fought his assailants in a desperate manner and while wrestling a revolver I from one of the highwaymen who rob s bed him.he was shot iu the loft wrist. He is slowly reoovoring at tho hospital I but it is feared he will lose tho use of one of his finvcrs. t »- Secured State Right. Governor Peuuypaoker, last Friilay ' afternoou, attached his signature to ' the papers granting State rights to the Suubnry and Northumberland Electric 1 Street Railway Company to extend its ' trolley llue to Snnbury. The borough oouncii has already granted the same privileges aud overy : thing is now in shape for the company to begin work. Owing to the improvements in the service to Island Park aud the success, ful seasou there, the company will de lay the abandoumout of the present 1 road and the stait of tho new llue un til September first. All the material for the construction of the road and the new oars have been ordered BO that when the work is commenood it oau be rapidly pushed ; to completion. i A Monster Sign. The largest sign iu Danville was I raised at the H. L. Gross block yes i terday afternoou to advertise "Moxie" It ia thirty-six feet loug aud about four feet wido. It covers the spaoe i between the npper windows and the eaves and takes in the entire front of the two buildings oooupied by the Heddens Candy Company and A. W. Bleohor. The monster sigu is illumin ated by fifty electria light bulbs and i Is a conspicuous object at night. It if maintained in connection with the Heddens Candy Company, whose busi ness it advertises along with "Mox ia." PAVEMENT ON MARKET STREET Aooording to all indications a large portion of East Market street will be paved before winter. A good deal of work has been done by those in favor of the Improvement during several weeks past. At least two petitions are in circulation and the statement is confidently inade that sufficient sign ers are assured to oover the neoessaiy two-thirds of the distance iu feet. There Is praotioally uo objection to the pavement,as all the plans are laid to make the improvement as inexpen sive as possible. Red briok, which are muoh cheaper than those used ou Mill street, will be used. Nooonorete will be employed under the brick, neither will there be any grouting used. The ground will be firmly rolled. The briok will bo simply laid on a course ot sand and kept In place by curbing set in oonorete. Experience has taught that a pavement of this kind is sutlic iently durable for any thoroughfare where the traffic Is uo heavier than oil East Market street. The cost will be *2 per lineal foot as against some i-i wiiioli was the oost on Mill street. One of the petitions covers the space between Mill street aud Church street; the other between Churoli and Rail road streots. A third petition rumor, ed of takes iu the dlstauco between Railroad aud Nassau streets. l'liero Is scaroely any doubt but that East Market street botweeu Mill streot aud Railroad streot will be paved. The portion of the street ou which Market Square abuts has led to some complica tions in getting ready for paving, hut tho difficulty hero will probably be overcome by the Burgess affixing his signaturo ropresentiug the property owner. The time is short enough aud the work will have to be pushod along if the street Is to be paved before win ter. The trolley company is entitled to a uotioo of (HI days in order to eu ablo it to take up the present rail aud replace it witli one suitable for pave ment. However, the setting of the curb can proceed during the interim, which is the ouly branch of the work that it will be neoessary to complete before frost. As no ooucrote will be used the briok oau be laid up to the very advent of winter. It has been ascertained that with probably two or throe exceptions none of the trues growing on EaHt Market street will be in the way of paving aud those can be permitted to remain. Durderer Cried. Sheriff Riddell. of Williamsport.has arrived at the conclusion that the at taches of the Williamsport jail have other things of importance to attend lo than complying with the requosts of James Salerno aud bin relatives The Shorilf has especially tired of the num erous visit of the ohildren aud a cousin of the aooused murderer, and has so informed the prisoner. The announce ment did not have a very soothing offect ou the foreiguor and he asserted that 110 would beoome very louoly. Saleruo was given to understand that tho number of employes at the jail was only large enough to permit of relatives calling on him once a week instead of soveral times a day as has beeu tho oaso sinoe the arrest of the Italian. The attitude of the Sheriff, together with the information made to him by his son that uot enough mouey had been scooted to retain cer tain attorneys for his defense, lias I caused a partial breakdown of the prisoner. At uoou on Thursday Saleruo gave i way to his griof and indulged iu a prolonged orying spoil. His wailiug i could bo distiuotly heard in evory part of the big stone building. Tiie turn keys endeavored to pacify the Italian, but failed. They summoned Deputy Sheriffs Seltzer and Miluor,and,-after . considerable trouble and patience, , Saleruo was iuduoed to cease his loud i expression of grief. Tiie appetite oi i Salerno continues good.
