CHANGES IN BLOCK SYSTEM The linal step in the changes made i by the Pennsylvania Railroad company t in the block systsui on the south side j took place Saturday morning, wiieu j the telegraph instruments were remov- | ed from the staiiou, tiie wires taken j out aud these, along with the sema- | phone, were transferred to the new tower built a mile and a half below the station near the farm of Amos Wohlforth. This change in the block system has been under contemplation for a long time. The tower occupied for thetirst Saturday was built last summer. It is believed that many advantages will accrue from the change. The block formerly ended at the station, which necessitated the presence of the op erators in the depot, which building in the opinion of the officials should be devoted wholly to the transaction of business relating to freight and passenger traffic. At times there was quite a congestion when the freight awaiting orders occupied the platform or waiting room along with persons who had come to take a train. \uother inconvenience that will be obviated is the detention of passenger trams above the orossiug, which oc curred when the signals were so set as to indicate that a train was on the block. Hereafter regardless of wheth er the next block is clear or not, the train can come directly into the sta tion aud there will be no necessity of making two stops. The telegraph operators will enjoy many advantages by the change, the one unpleasant feature being probably the additional walk entailed. The day of 24 hours is divided into three tricks at the tower, Edward Burger is on duty from 7 a. m to 3 p. in. ; Alviu Boyer from 3 p. m.to 11 p. in., and Bruce MoOracken from 11 P. iu. to 7 a. m. Some chatigos will be made iu the station, now that the operators have been transferred to the tower. The eleik's desk will hereafter occupy the bay window where the telegraph in struments formerly were. In adddi tioii, there will be a general moving aroan I of the furniture in order to se cure all the room available for the other departments. The station will present altogether a different appear ance, especially, after traiu time, at uight, when It will be locked up. Take Notice.

A meeting was held at the Central hotel, Bloomsburg, yesterday after- 1 noon, the following assoclatons being represeuted by their managers : Dan- I ville, Hoffman; Benton, McHenry: Bloomsburg, Titel; Berwick, Savage; Nescopeck, Patterson; Shickshinny, , Oolley. In the absence of Manager Hess, Nanticoke was represented by ,T. O. McHenry. Alden was the only association not represeuted. McOULLUM PRESIDENT. The principal object of the meeting was to elect a president of the Susque hanna league tooucceed Fred A. Steib er, who owing to presure of business engagements tendered his rssignation early in .luly. The managers iusiiuc lively turned to W. L. McCullum as a man eminently qualified to act as presi dent of the league. He was elected without any opposition. Yerrick. of Danville, formerly sub stitute umpire, was chosen as a reg ular league umpire to till a vacancy I that had ocourred. PRESIDENT STEIBER SUSTAINED A resolution was adopted sustaining i President Steiber in his recent decis- I ion which gave the game to Nanticoke ! that was protested by Danville earlier in the season. All of the uiauagers, with the exception of Hoffman, sup j ported the resolution. THE PROPOSITION FAILED. 1 .lust before adjourning Manager j Titil, of Bloomsburg, advanced a jro j position to the effect that the series of games scheduled for the season end with last Saturday aud that a new series be started. This, of course, would leave Nanticoke winner of the first series cf games. The teams wouliT all start anew, on the same footing. The winner of the sucondseries.it was proposed, should play off with Nanti coke at the close of the season. It was claimed that by starting a new series of games all the clubs of the league would have the same iu | ducemeut to play good ball anil inter est would be created anew. At th's juncture President Sieiber reported that he had learned author itatively that it was Danville's inten tion, if Manager Tltel's proposition was carried into effect, to institute au j action iu equity. Foreseeing compli cations ahead the league after some i discussion decided to abandon the idea j of beginning a new series of games. j Cured May Fever & Summer Cold ! A. S.

Iu both j cases tiie defendants were required to J pay a flue of (u cents for each oath. The information was made before j Justice of the Peace W. V. Oglesby, j of this city by Matthew L. Sheep, of | Derry township on July 27th. The de- | fendants in the case were Frank Ort man and John Ort man, father and son. \ Frank Ortman was a former tenant of Mr. Sheep and the differences which < provoked the alleged profane language i took place while the defendant was j harvesting the wiieat crop on the j plaintiff's farm. Frank Ortmau was charged in the information with having uttered five , profane oaths and the son six. In ad dition, Frank Ortman was charged I witii assault and battery, the allega | tiou being that lie had "grabbed" the j complainant. j The hearing was held before Justice | Oglesby Friday nigiit. 'i'ne tine for profane swearing is sixty seven cents for each oath, which the defendants paid along with the costs. On the as sault and battery charge Frank Ort man was held for court under two hundred dollars bail. It is only at rare intervals that the blue laws are invoked in this day ow ing to the great changes affecting customs and sentiment that have tak en place since their enactment 115 years ago. They may still be success fully invoked, however, in prcsecu , tiou fur violating the Sabbath as well j as for the use of profane language.
