Mr. Kaercher returned from Pittsburg, bar
ing finished the argument in the Kehoe case on
Monday afternoon. He Is confident that the
rulings of the lower court will be sustained by
the Supreme bench. Greatly to the surprise of
everybody no paper book was prepared in the
case of Thos, Fisher, convicted at Mauch Lhunk
of the murder of Morgan Powell, and at the re

In the latter case Messrs. Clark and

the defendants.
The Vermont courts have gone the whole
length of the doctrine of consequential damages
as set forth in the prohibitory liquor law of that
State. Mrs. Ophelia Snow brought a suit for
damages against the proprietors of a hotel who
had sold her husband liquor, she having been
thrown from a wagon in consequence of her
husband's bad driving while in a state of ine
briation from the effects of the liquor. The fair
Ophelia won her suit, the jury giving her a ver
dict for $2,800. By the same token, if Mr,
Snow had killed Ophelia the hotel proprietors
should have bn hung.
We may add that we have substantially the
same law in this State.

THE COLUMBIAN AND
WATER WORKS IN BLOOMSITCRO,
We havo called attention to often to this im.
portant subject that wo fear our present re
marks will fall uponnpathctlo enrs. That thero
is an imperative necessity for such an Improve
ment no one can deny. It is all that Is needed
to make our beautiful town ncnrlv Imfer!.
I.arger and moro expensive works have been
ntroduccd into neighboring towns containlne
much less population and wealth, and the citi
zens of those fortunato places would not under
nny circumstances do without them now. True,
after each destructive firo our people aro gal
vanized into brief action, hut the question is
soon dropped until another disastrous firo oc
curs. The total valuation of taxablo nroncrtv
In Bloomsburg is $829,016. Of course somo
of this is farm land and should be deducted.
But even witli the proper reductions the neces
sary works could bo built for a tax of ono cent
on the dollar for eight years. Bonds could ea
sily bo placed on tho market, bearing fivo per
cent interest.
We fully believo that in tho course of eight
years enough property would bo saved to pay
lor the works. Not only that, but tho cost of
insurance would bo greatly decreased, and a
pnying revenuo derived from tho use of tho wa
ter by our citizens and public Institutions.
Wo give below a careful esttmato of the cost,
made by S. W. Douglas, an eminent civil and
mining engineer. He superintended the con
struction of water-works at Ashland, which is
supplied in the same manner as is proposed for
Bloomsburg. It is needless to add that tho
works at Ashland givo unbounded satisfaction
As to Mr. Douglas's estimate of costs, we think
with tho shorter routo suggested by him tho
expense would bo much less than he has put it.
Besides, the cost of the dam, Ac, nt Stony
Brook Is too highly estimated. Now is tho
time for our people to act. l.uLor and mate'
rial nro cheap, and water is a necessity.
Mn. C. B. Bkockway:
Dear Sir: In compliance with your request,
I beg leave respectfully to submit tho following
estimate of the cost of constructing waterworks
for the borough of Bloomsburg to you personally,
based upon no examinations made by myself,
but upon tho survey sent me by you, mado by
Samuel Neyhart. Said line as located by him
is not very satisfactory for several reasons.
First, in several places tho elevation of the
ground which tho line passes over comes within
fourteen (14) feet of tho elevation of his start
ing point or elevation of dam. Secondly, the
profile or grade of tho pipo lino is very irregu
lur. Thirdly, the line is located some distance
from the public road nnd hence making it ex
pensive to distribute the pipo. And fourthly,
the line might bo made a few thousand fee
shorter nnd at the same time havo a more reg
ular grade.
But on the other hand, any lino which you
may deculo upon has the advantage of not re
quiring extra heavy pipes, as the level of Fish
ing creek near tho borough of Bloomsburg is
not more than two hundred and fifty feet below
tho proposed dam of Mr. Neyhart's survey,
Though tho lino is five and three-eighth miles
long, requiring a rather long line of main pipes,
they can he made very light most of the whole
length ot the line, and hence saving
large sum . of money which of neces
sity is generally expended in tho con
struction of waterworks by this system. Also,
under the favorable head and establishment of
a good grado for tho pipe line to the borough
of Bloomsburg, it could bo supplied with a ten
(10) inch main pipe, nnd at the present timo
the low cost of iron decides at once what mate
rial tho pipo should be made of, so that I have
based my estimate on n ten-inch cast iron main
supply pipe from the dam to within tho borough
limits. The borough for the present can be
amply supplied with one milo of six (G) inch
pipes nnd one mite of four (4) inch pipes.
But I havo almost forgotten the most impor
tant point, and must be the basis of this plan
of supply. That is, whether tho Stony Brook
is sufficient of itself to supply at all times an
nmplo flow of water. This question I am able
to answer after personal examination of the
flow of water from and into said brook, and
testing its capacity. But I have assumed that
it was, and even it not sufficient at all times,
the construction of a supply dam above- the
main dam would bo sufficient under any cir
cumstances.
To givo a full and accurate estimate I would
have to muko a careful survey of the whole
line, also carefully gauge the Stony Brook, and
consider nil other contingencies which might
cuter into this particular waterworks.
But from my limited knowledge of tho most
suitable line for the main pipes, I have for tho
present nssumed tho line as surveyed by Mr.
Neyhard, and knowing tho cost of labor and
all materials necessary for construction of said
work I submit tho following estimate :

DEMOCRAT, BLOOkSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
On the subject of choos Ing" a superintendent
and teachers, the general sentiment of the Con
vention was that ther should be chosen subject
to tho approval of the church authorities in de
nominational schools, but In union schools no
fixed rules could be laid down.
The subject of teachers' meetings (meaning
those for tho study of the lesson) was discussed
at length, and they were believed to be essentiat
to the prosperity of the school.
Tuesday evening s session was devoted to
children, and a large number were in attend
ance. An Infant class was taught In a very ac
ceptable manner by Miss Sarah C. Spear.
Addresses to the children were delivered by
by A. Swlneford, Rer. G. D. Gurloy and E. M.

The International Lessons wero highly prais
ed by all who are using them.
It was recommended that the children take
part In the opening of school to induce punctu
ality, and that before closing the lesson be re
viewed and summed up, bringing before the
school the great truths taught.
The subject of the use of the catechism was
discussed, its neglect in the Sunday school de
plored, and an earnest desire manifested to de
vise some plan by which it may be more gener
ally taught
Light Street and Zion's Church asked for the
Convention next year. The former place was
fixed upon.
It was conceded by all that there is too much
light literature In our Sunday school libraries,
but how shall we remedy the evil?
The following persons were elected Executive
Committee for the coming year: A. B. White,
N. U. Funk, J. U. Aikman.
The following was adopted .
Besolred, That thc Executive Committee be
instructed to devise BOine plan bv which a col
lection shall bo taken in the different schools of
this county, to defray the expenses of the AssO'
ciation, and paid over to tho treasurer at the
next convention.
It was believed that the Sunday Schools should
not go begging for funds to defray its necessary
expenses but should be supported by the church
Tho sum of ten dollars was asked
for by the Association to defray its
penses and a collection was taken up d ten
dollars and ten cents were received.
Under the topic, Temperance in the Sunday
School, Mr. A. Swineford, of Milton delivered

The importance and necessity of the aid of
the Holy Spirit in the Sunday School work,
and the danger that tho perfecting of the ma'
chinery of tbe school would crowd out this
thought was earnestly set forth.

FOX AND WILDCAT SCALPS.
The law giving bounties on foxes and wild
cats, as to Columbia county, was approved
March 31st, 1836, and comes under the head of
"An Act relative to the apjiointment of High
C, tmtable in tbe borough of Lewistown, Mifflin
county, and taxing dogs in said borough, and
for other purposes." This is a local law and is
not digested, and as many persons do not know
lie law It has been thought advisable to give
the section relating to bounties on fox and wild
cat scalpt.
Sec. 5, P. L. pp. 305-0, 1830 :
"That from and after the passage of this act
any person who may kill any fox or foxes, wild
cat or wild cats, within the counties of Mifflin,
Columbia and Northampton in this common
wealth, and who shall produce the scalp of said
fox or foxes, wild cat or wild cat?, having the
cars thereof, before any Justice of the Peace in
and for the said counties of Mifflin, Columbia
and Northampton, it shall be the duty of such
Justice to examine such person or persons, on
oath or affirmation, touching the place where
and the time when such fox or foxes, wild cat
or wild cats, was or were taken and killed ; and
If the place or places of such taking and killing
shall be found to be within the bounds of the
proper county it shall be the duty of such Jus
tice give the person or persons a certificate of
the facta to the Commissioners of the county,
together with the scalps aforesaid, and the said
Commissioners upon the receipt thereof shall
immediately have such scalp or scalps destroyed
and thereupon draw their warrant on the Coun
ty Treasurer of the proper county, for the scalp
'of a full grown fox fifty cents and for the scalp
of a full grown wild cat two dollars, and for
those that are not full grown for half the atnoun
for each and every scalp so produced as afore

his way why lie was In tho two cellars on tho
day beforo tho fire, nnd went over a great
deal of the testimony, admitting everything
that was proved on tho trial, but denying hii
guilt. Ho exhibited to the Court his coat
which lio had on tho night ot tho 25tli when
tho matches caught lire, which (showed tho
pockets slightly scorched. The coat was not
produced nt tho trial.
Tho Court then said that tha orimo of
which tlio jury had convicted tho prisoner
was next to the crime of wilful murder. Itut
as the indictment did not chargo the burning
of tho hotel when pertont weie in V, ho could
not bo sentenced under that section of tho stat
utes, which permitted a penalty of twenty
years imprisonment and four thousand dollars
fine. Alter somo further remarks tho Court
sentenced Harman A. Kramer to pay a fino
to tho Commonwealth of fivo hundred dollars
and undergo an imprisonment in tho Eastern
Penitentiary for a term of ten years.
