The school started off with much promise on October 22, and within less than a week over 100 pupils had been en rolled. Since then the attendance has gradually dropped each month until it was reported at the meeting of the School Board Monday night that the attendance on some nights has been only four, while the average so far this month has been only nine.

Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Judge Halsey at Wilkes Barre hand ed down an opinion on Monday in the case ol Rev Vincent Dillones vs. the city of Pittston. Dillones, an ex clergyman of the Catholic Church, was advertised to deliver a lecture to his countrymen, the Lithuanians, in Pittston. A riot was threatened and Mayor Corcoran closed the hall and locked up the preacher. The latter then brought suit against Pitts ton city for false imprisonment and to restrain the Mayor from further in terference with the lecturer. Judge Halsey holds that the court has no jurisdiction and the suit is dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff.

A petition, containing the names of fifty-one Danville residents, was Wednesday forwarded o Liverpool, Perry County, to be sent from there to the State Legislature, urging the authorities not to pass any bill for the abandonment of the Pennsyl vania Canal, and also urging the passage of another measure to compell the Pennsylvania Canal and Railroad Companies not to discrimi nate against boat traffic in favor ot the railroad. Such petitions were recently sent out Irom Liverpool to points all along the line of the canal. They have been signed by hundreds ol people who are opposed to the closing of the old waterway. The petition was circulated in Danville by a well known canal boatman. This petition is being csrculated because canal men fear that a bill will be introduced into the Legislature in the interest of the Canal Company, declaring the Canal closed. It is claimed, that inasmuch as the Canal was constructed as a public waterway, it cannnot be closed without such legislation. The petition sets forlh that the Pennsylvania Canal and Railroad Companies have for years been dis criminating against boatmen, in order that the Canal may not pay, so that it can bi abendoned. It is further claimed that without such discrim ination, the Canal would still pay. The Legislature is accordingly asked to pass a bill compelling the compa nies not to make this discrimination. As far as the boatmen are aware, no bill has been introduced tor the abandonment of the Canal, but they fear that such a bill will come at this session. One reason for this belief is that it is understood that just before navigation closed, two months ago, all section foremen and lock-keepers in the employ of the Canal Company were notified that as soon as naviga tion closed fur the winter, it would be to their interest to seek some other permanent employment. One boatman in Danville said that it is the general belief among boat men that water will bo turned into the Canal in the Spring, but it will be largely a matter ot form to comply with the charter, and that practically no boating will be done next season. .

Under the recent rearrangement of divisions made on the Pennsylvania railroad, whereby the Sunbury and Lewistown and the Sunbury divisions have betn united, passengers are taken from Wilkes-Barre to Lewis town without change of cars at Sun bury as heretofore. The train crews are changed at Sunbury, but it is expected that in a few weeks they will run from Lewistown to Wilkes Barre. This change makes the Sun bury one of the most important branch divisions of the system. The warning cough is the faith ful sentinel.
