2 NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CITY'S SUBURBS RAILROAD ASKED TO BUILD SUBWAY Petition Circulated at Duncan non For Better Access to Station Duncannon, Pa., March 23.—Local residents are circulating a petition that will bo filed with the Pennsylva nia Railroad requesting it to construct a subway under the tracks at the Penney station. At the present time passengers are forced to await the passing of freight trains or use a subway at Ann street, two blocks away. No clerks are on duty at night and the gates crossing the track are locked, as is also the station. This compels people living at the lower end of town to walk four needless blocks to use the present sub way. During high water this subway cannot be used and passengers are obliged to cross all four tracks. Supporters of tho movement believe that the construction of a subway will obviate these inconveniences. This, together with the fact that such a large number of Duncannon people deal and work at Harrlsburg and sur rounding towns, should cause the Pennsy to accede to the request.

Meals, who has been seriously ill at his home, Third and North streets, for almost two months, is slowly improving, it was announced to-day. VOLUNfEEIt ARMY SHAMS ® * General Scott, for instance, was suddenly halted in his triumph ant progress from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico by discovering that the twelve-month enlistment of seven out of eleven of his volunteer regiments had expired. Did they re-enllst? They did not; and he saw 4,000, or more than one-third of his army, leave him in the midst of an enemy's country, and had to sit down and wait for re enforcements. The Civil war, of course, Is the classic instance of great American volunteer armies, and heru the short term enlistment was responsible for early disaster, the tragedy of the first Bull Run being due to the hurling of raw troops Into action in great haste lest their term of enlistment should expire before they had fired a gun. To be sure, later enlistments were for three years; but before the war was half over the volunteer system had failed, and both sides were resorting to the draft. With this In the North went the pretty practice of hiring substitutes. The country was also treated to'th? scandal of bounty jump ing. Besides, the number of deser tions under the volunteer system was astounding, being placed on high au thority at over half a million out of 2,700,000 enlistments.—From "How About War ?" by Peter Clark Macfar lane, in Collier's.

Lane was arrested recently by city po lice in connection with a series of raids on joints, and is alleged to be a member of a chain of dispens ers of drugs. City Detective Hyde Speese is one of the principal witnesses in tho case, which went to the grand jury this morning, and is the latest to be placed on the March criminal court list.

John Lango, held on a serious charge preferred by his brother's wife, was convicted to-day.

Daniel Lewis, charged with stealing fifteen dozen eggs from Mae Bell, at tile Verbeko street market on I'"ebriiary 13, was convicted. Dcnoiiners Crosn Suits In continuing the case against Ru dolph Miller, of Steelton, until June sessions. Additional Law Judge S. J. M. McCarrell severely criticised persons who, when arrested on a criminal charge, bring a cross-suit against the prosecutor, with a view to stopping further proceedings. Miller is accused of hurling a brick at Miss Edith Miller, striking her just above the right cj'e. In testifying against him, David Smith, the father, said that he had been prosecuted by Miller on a charge of assault and bat tery but that the grand jury ignored the bill yesterday. "I am glad to hear that the grand jury ignored the bill," Judge McCar rell declared. "The defendant can see now the position he has placed himself in. He may yet have to answer for malicious prosecution. "Cross law suits are wrong. It some times happens that a defendant will start them, thinking the prosecution against him may be adjusted. The courts are making every effort to stop these cross-suits." Miller's bail was raised'from S3OO to SSOO, and the case continued. F. J. Beckman and Edward Hoover, brought before President Judge George Kunkel to answer charges of carry ing revolvers and shooting recklessly, were acquitted but ordered to pay the costs of prosecution.
