but oonld not tell when the iron for
the superstructure of the new river
bridge will be shipped here. The King
Bridge Company is under oontraot to
finish the bridge by the first of next
April aud the Caldwell, Barry & Leo
nard oompany is under oontraot to
finish the masonry by the first of Jan
uary. The latter firm agreed with the
former to finish the abotpient and first
pier by Uoober 15th and has done even
batter th.au that tor by next week
' enough of the ipasoury will be com

were only a contest between railway
companies, the stand you lake would
be mere forceful; but tho public isuot
either of these companies aud in the
choice of risks wishes the lesser. It
does not wish to avoid death at one
place aud be foroed to find it in an
other.
Now us to the polioy of preventing
(he orossing at grade, the people may
jostly complain. Beoaose, even in
most reaeut years, this polioy has not
been observed as to the operation of
the L. & B. R. R. For at Northum
berland, Bloomsburg, Berwiok, Kd
wardsville and Scranton grade cross
ings have been established. Many of
thein, far more dangerous tiian Dan
ville, have reaped no harvest of death.
I would also here state that the uross
iug in question is looated in the heart
of the town whioh compels every one
of your trains whioh pasn over it to be
under complete control. In fact you
have only fourteen schedule trains in
24 bourn. Indeed trolley acoidents at
grade crossings seem to be the excep
tion. The aotumou ordinary acoidents
ocuur from the passage of vehloles,
the motor car is not likely to add to
the number.
The reason that none have happened
011 the L. &B. is plain ; the tratllo is
light, the scheduled trains can be
avoided,—only the shifters aud extra
freight being the ones probably to be
■net. But the requirements of the or
dinance granting the right of the trol
ley on the streets, order the trolley to
be stopped and the motorman togo
ahead. The street is level. But in addi
tions watchman is always there. These
men may fail in duty and the mach
inery may fail. This assumption is not
warranted, beoause all our affairs are
conducted on the basis that men will
do their duty and machinery will ful
fill its purpose and the large results of
progreK3 is full proof of the correct
ness of onr assumptions.
It is true that some of our oitizens
may In their zeal have biought them
selves withiu the pale of prosecution.
But the risk wliioh your Company
took in sending its passenger trains
over this objectionable frog at a high
rate of speed which violated our Bor
ough ordinance aud endangered the
lives of your passengers and those
dwelling at the crossing cannot be
looked npou with favor. Two wrongs
do not make oue right. This is not the
temper iu which to oonsider the ques
tion.
I am of the opinion that if you could
fully comprehend the situation as it
really exists that you would see the
just cause of our olaim. Publio offic
ers as well as publio corporations
should manage their affairs on the
prinoiple of the greatest good for the

that tho present looatlon of your depot

proach it. This depot should be looat
ud on one of our thoroughfares.
1 believe that if your Company would

E PASCOE
TELLS WHY
The Danville and Bloomsburg trol
ley company'A side of the hearing in
the grade orossini; injunction matter
wan taken ap in Court Friday morn
ing, Judge Little presiding. Experts
testified against the practicability of
an overhead crossing by either of the
three routes proposed by the D. L. &
W. railroad company, bat before even
a single witness was oalled Attorney
Soarlet had made a strong case for
the trolley people, showing from offl
oial records offered as evidenoe in the
case insurmountable obstacles in tho
way of an overhead orossing. Objec
tion followed objection to nearly every
move of the attorneys of the trolley
oompany and the railroad lawyers
fought hard, but even in oross exami
nation faots to strengthen the conten
tion that only a grade crossing is rea
sonable and praotical here were
brought ont. The oourt room was fill
ed nearly all day witb citizens intent
ly taking in all of the testimony.
The oase began with the offering of
reoords of the oharter of the trolloy
line by Attorney Soarlet, of the trans
fer of the Danville & Riverside line
to the Danville & Bloomsburg aud of
the resolutions of extension. Mr.
Hinckley Hied objeotions to all of this.
The aot of arsembly of 1849 incorpor
ating the borough of Danville was
olted and the aats of 1851 and 1852 on
the general borough law. Then the
ordinanoe of counoil giving the Dan
ville & Riverside trolley company now
the Danville & Bloomsburg the right
of way was offered and important sec
tions were read. The ordinance al
lows the trolley line to be constructed
only at the established grades of the
borougli and provides among many
other proteotive clauses that the cars
must stop at steam railroads while the
conduotor goes ahead to signal the car
to advance if the way is olear.
Harry Patton.the borough olerk.waa
the first witnoss, being oalled to pro
duce the council's ordinance book to
prove that the copy of the ordinance
offered in oourt was correct and show
that tho trolley company had accepted
the provisions of the ordinance.
Ur. Hinckley again objected when
Ur. Soarlet proposed to offer a resolu
tion of oonncil to show that the pro
posed Mill street overhead crossing
not only has been legislated against,
but oounoil still will not permit of its
construction, saying thatpublio inter
ests demand a grade crossing, which
oan be made perfectly safe. At this
point it was shown that the injunction
granted against the trolley oompany
is holding up the work of the borongh.
Next the ordinance requiring steam
trains togo no faster than eight miles
an hour in the borongh was offered to
show that the Mill street crossing
would not be dangerous with trains
running this slow. This also was ob
jected to by the railroad counsel aud
from this point on the objeotions aud
exoeptions were really too numerous
to mention. The ordinance for the
paving of Mill street outlining the re
quirements of the trolley oompany was
offered together with the contention
of Mr. Soarlet that the borough of
Danville is direotly in the
present litigation and should have
been made a party to it. All of this
evidenoe oocupied the time of the
Oonrt until 11a. m.
D. J. Duucan, superintendent of the
Poltsville Electrio railway, was call
ed and gave au account of liis experi
euoe of over 80 years in the street rail
way business. Oo the Pottsrille line
he runs 33 oars daily and often as high
as 43 and they pass over 13 grade cross
ings. Five oars go over one crossing
over whioh 364 ttaius pass daily. Wit
ness said the danger of operating one
overhead orosßing has caused him more
trouble in six months than all of his
grade crossings in nine years. He just
paid lISOO in a case growing oat of an
aooideut on an inoliue and now lias a
SSOOO salt of the same kind to handle.
He most strenuously is opposed to any
grades over two per cent. Take a
•leety day or wet rails and the oar can
not be held on an inoliue. The pro
posed overhead orossiug in Danville
with either Ave or seven per cent
grades would be not only dangerous to
passengers but to the people in the
street, for the car might for numerous
reasons run back on the pedqptrians
who would feel safe thinking it was
going from them all right. Mr. Duu
oan aald in nine years he had only one
aooideol on the Reading road and that
on a 114 per oent grade. His conclud
ing testimony was that the Mill street
overhead orossing could bo built but
to operate it would not be safe or rea
sonable.
James M. Irlaud was oalled to iden
tify photographs offered as evidence.
Consulting Engineer Darlington, of
Philadelphia, next gave expert testi
mony very similar to that of Mr. Dun
o*n. He objeotß to an overhead cross
ing by either of the three routes pro
posed because it obstructs travel in the
borough and from the danger stand
point lie maintains that almost a thou
sand things may happen that might
result in bad accidents. Nothing can
prevent the oar from going baok on the
people below if the ourrent should bo
out off and brakes fail to work. Oourt
adjouored to 1:80 p. m. while Mr.
Darlintgon was on the stand.
At the afternoon session the exami
nation of the last witness was continu
ed. He stated that ongoing off of the
overhead orossing a trolley car would
run at about 35 miles an hour if
ooutrol should be lost,and would leave
the traok and be demolished. A rail
road train going at 8 miles au hour,
provided by the borongh ordinance,
oould be stopped within 50 feet and a
trolley car could be stopped within 30
feet. Witness knows of not a single
place in the United States where such
a crossing as proposed by the D. L. &
W. is operated in a borough like Dan*
ville.
Andrew Kaedeil, ot Bridgeport,
Conn., an experienced trolley man,
next was called and teatißed similarly
lo the other experts, saying positively
that the Mill street crossing at grade
oould be oared for in a way to elimin
ate all danger.
J. <J. Brown, who made the survey
of til* Danville line, for SO years a
civil engineer, said the overhead cross
ing would be a source of danger by
obstructing the view of drivers and
pedestrians.
David Eoknian aud Henry fiern
heinier next were called to state that
the bliud alley route proposed by the
D. IJ. & W. is ont of the question for
part of the alloy is private property
and the alley shown ou the railroad
maps really does not exist.
Councilman George Keifsnyder was
oalled to establish that the overhead
crossing would interfere with the bor
ough light aud the water main and
gas pipes, also with the appaiatus in
case of Are. Councilman Vastine was
examined next and corroborated the
testimony that the alley, in question is
private property. He said that the
overhead crossing would bo more dang
erous thau the grade, that the danger
of the grade crossing was considered
by council when they gave the trolley
line the right of way and that the
Council certainly would not permit of
the building of the overhead crossing.
The objection to this testimony was
sustained.
Enigneer Darlington was recalled,
but gave no new testimony. Harry
Pattou was again called to produce
records of the action of Council and
the trolley oompauy.
W. F. Pascoo stated his extendod
trolley line experience,qualifying him
to testify as an expert. He said the
trolley compauv has its share of the
paving to do and if the injunction is
allowed to staud it will delay the bor
ough work. He told of the poles, elec
tric wires,cables, water and gas pipes
being obstacles in the way of the over
head crossing. He recited numerous
overhead crossing fatalities coming
within his own observation. The wit
ness describbd several devices that
would make the grade crossing safe
even if the watchman were togo to
sleep at his post, and concluded by
testifying that tho Mill street crossing
at grade is an imperative necessity.
R, H. Koch, who is at the head of
numerous streot railways, was on the
stand when adjournment was taken at
5:15 p. m.
The preliminary hearing of tho In
jnnotiou cases of tho D. L. & W. rail
road aud the Danville and Bloomaburg
Street Railway Company was endid
Saturday moruiug at 10:35 o'clock,
when Jndge Little adjourned court
until Friday next at :30 a. in. At
that time the argument of the oases
will be taken up. It would liavo boon
impossible to finish the argument by
noon Saturday so the continuance be
came necessary.
Judge Koch, wlio wax on the stand
at the time of adjournment Friday af
ternoon, was the first witness. Speak
ing of the proportionate risks of an
overhead and a grade crossing,he said
that at a grade crossing the locomotive
engineer, crossing watchman, trolley
motorman and conductor all are on
guard and safety devioes minimize any
possible danger. On an overhead cross
ing there is absolutely nothing to ov
ercome the numerous mechanical fail
ures that may result in fatalities.
The examination of the witness was
couduoted by Ex-Senator Horring and
Judge Willurd carried on the cross ex
amination. To try to show that the
witness, who is a member of the con
struction company working on the
trolley line, is directly interested in
the case in order to question the credi
bility of his testimony the attorney
for the railroad company asked how
much of an internist witness has and
Lawyer Scarlet amused the spectators
in court by his statment, when wit
uess said ho lias a one-fourth interest,
that " well then your orodibility is
only affected one-fourth."
F. O. Angle, president of tho trol
ley company, was called to produce
the minute bonk of the Danville and
Riverside company, containing record
of the sale of the rights of that com
pany to tho Danville and Hlootusburg
company. Mr. Soarlet objeoted to the
question asked the witness as to how
many shares he and Mr. Pascoo have
in the stock of the trolley company.
Shortly after leaving the stand Mr.
Angle was reoalled to idontify copies
of letters written him by tho D. L. &
W. people, whioli the rail.-oad counsel
offered as evidence. On being cross ex
amined the witness said he gave the
letters to the clerk of the trolley com
pany and could not say whether Mr.
Pascoe saw them.
Street Commissioner Miller was oall
ed to describe the location of the wat
er main on Mill street near the mid
dlo of that thoroughfare and five feot
below the surface, the trolley people
contending that the foundations of the
proposed overhead crossing would in
terfere with the water main.
W. F. Pasooe testified that the trol
ley line is constructed and in opera
tion from tho Bloom stroet Heading
orossing to Bloomsburg. He said all
local consonts were obtained. The pap
ers wero produoed by the trolley coun
sel but wore not opened. The oross
examination of Mr. Pascoo was ou the
statement ho made ou Friday that
Superintendent Bine, of the D. L. &
W.,gavo liini consent to cross the rail
road at Mill stroet. The witness again
testified that he talked with Mr. Rine,
who said ho (Pascoe) should first, give
him a plan of the crossing and the
witness did so.giving oue of the stand
ard D. L. & W. plans. Asked why he
attempted to cross tho railroad at
night, having consent to cross it, Mr.
Pasooe's answor was: "Beoause it was
the most opportune time and the work
then could be done without interfer
ing with the D. L. & W. travel." Mr.
Pasooe was asked if he saw light poles,
wires, and so on,on Mill street bofore
beginning work on tho trolley line.
"Yes, I did, but 1 didn't see that
camel-back bridge you propose," was
thi' answer of the witness.
The railroad counsel at this point
called Superintendent Kino, of the D.
L. & W., in rebuttal of Mr. . Pasnoe's
testimony. Superintendent Rine ad
mitted talking to Mr. Pacsoe about the
crossing bat claimed to have told Mr.
Pasooo that ho would have to make ap
plication for a crossing to the engineer
ing department Later witness re
ceived a letter from Mr. Pascoe asking
permission to cross the track and re
ferred it to tho ohief engineer.
Mr. Hinckley at this point offered
in evidence a Borough ordinanou con
cerning light and telephone and tele
graph poles toxlhow that the Borough
had control over them hut Mr. Scarlet
objected to the offering on tho ground
that the ordinance merely provides for
the collection of foes and the several
ooinpanioa have vested rights that tli9
Borough can not touch.
Here the railroad counsel rested their
case. Mr. Scarlet tavor»d having argn
ment at once, uiging that tho prelim
inary injunction ought to be quickly
dissolved, because of pnblio interests,
but agreed ou the continuance to next
Friday in liou ot the fact that the ease
could not bo argued by noon, when I
Judge Little intended to adjourn ooort.
FIFTY YEARS
JNTHE ORDER
A oolebration at once uniquo and
highly impressive and joyous ended

Special Hemorial Service
The late Meade I). Detwoilor, of
Harrisburg, was conceded to bo the
most popular member of the fraternity
of Elks in this country, and was con
ceded to bo the man who assembled
the inharmonious factious into a har
monious whole which has been of in
calculable benefit to the order and
praotically preserved its life. Mr.
Detweiler was also the best known
Elk in the fraternity, and had travel
ed the country over in its interest.
His death was deplored from Maine
to California, and not a lodge of Elks
in the United States but passed resolu
tions of sorrow on his death. It is now
proposed by the Klk fraternity to hon
or his memory in a most substantial
manner by erecting as a tributo of
lov and affection a magnificent monu
ment.
Saturday, October lfitl), will be the
auuiversary of Mr. Detweiler's birtb,
and Grand Exalted Ruler O'Brien. nf
Baltimore, ban fixed that day as tbo
time for holding n runmorial snrvici
ill overy Elk lodge in the United States
to the memory of the deceased Harris
burger.
They Strangely Disappear.
"It's a most peculiar fact, "said a
well known sportsman yesterday," tlia t
tlie number of rabbits one sees at this
time of the year diminishes as tbo
openiug of the season approaches. I
have often, as I drove to the farm,
noticed any number of rabbit*, but as
the opening nf the rabbit season ap
proached seldom,if ever,did I see one.
They seom to know. "
The foregoing but corroborates fre
quent- remarks made by the banters re
garding the knowledge which rabbits
anil game birds seem to have of the
approaoh of the season wh'n their
lives are in jeopardy.
ADTDIN GLORY
AT ITS HEIGHT
The autumn that is upon us has been
thus far ono of the most glorious sea
sons in years. Barring a few vagaries,
such as that of Saturday, when the
morning hours on the ferry oliilled
marketers to the marrow, foretelling
winter at hand instead of the almost
summer warmth of the afternoon, the
weather has been perfect—clear, crisp
and bracing. Truly we are enjoying
"the year's last, loveliest smile" and
it is well to make the most of it.
Those days fairly cry out "get into
the country" and go there one should.
Everyone can find a fow hours in the
week to turn his back on man's handi*
work, no matter how absorbing, to ex
ploit the often unrealized wonder of
nature's. If you cannot find time, get
it somehow ; you wiil never regret it.
The wiutor is close at baud,when per
haps none but the enthusiast can be
ox pec ted to admire, while slowly con
gealing, the tracery of hare branohes
against the frosty sky or long stretches
of bleak, rutty, snow-flecked fields
broken by sparkling, frozon streams.
Nature's winter charms are for the
warm blooded, but now she offers of
her most bouureous stores to every eye
trained to see understandiiigly.
Jack Frost has wielded a generous
brush this year and the whole sur
rounding country is brilliant with un
wonted color. The dogwoods in their
autumn glory of soft purplish pinks aud
reds deepening into bright scarlet ber
ries rival their snowy blossom time;
maples are aflame everywhere, oaks as
befit tliei*- ago and dignity flaunt rich
er aud more sober hues; low basket
willows bank the stream in feathery
copper masses; tho fields ploughed for
the fall planting are rich iu purple
and brown loam ; tho woods and road
sides are lit with a blaze of golden rod
and pnrplo aster; apple trees hang
heavy with ruddy truit, and the per
simmon is ready for tho pluoking;
beechos and poplars add their touch of
yellow ; on stump and fence and rustic
wall the Virgiuia creeper trails its
crimson way; while over all tho sky
shines richly, deeply blue.
There are plenty to appreciate the
beauties of the country just uow. Ped
estrians are off for long tramps over
the hills. Evory day, with a special
bias toward Saturday,morry parties of
boys and girls go chestnutting, uncon
sciously absorbing nature'n charms.
Hiding ami driving parties know no
better season for a tour. Tho love of
the country -of living in it seven 01
eight months of the twelve, if one
can ; of seizing every opportunity to
get out into it in all seasons, othor-
wise—is growing upon Americans.
They refuso to be cooped up in towns
or cities as formerly. It is a good sign
of the times, this getting baok to na
ture, this studying at first baud her
over changing forms. It yields a rich
harvest of physical, meutal aud spirit
ual growth, a harvest even the unin>
itiated can begin to gleau right now
by going out into the woods and hills
of Montour county where the autumn
glory is at its height.

Concerning the Boiler Cleaning.
The last published report of the
Water Department expenses gave <<17.78
as the cost of boiler cleaning at tlio
Water Works. An explanation of this
is given that the citizens of Danville
may not think an exoessive amount is
being expended for this work. The
fact is that the $1>7.78 included the
coHt of work 011 a wall under the pavo
mont at the Water Works and the act
ual cost of the boiler cleaning was
something like sls.
Tied Up By the Storm.
Yesterday's storm caused a suspen
sion of work on all of the public im
provements, paving, building the Wat
er Works wall, stringing tlio wires on
the lior.iugli 1 iglit poles and the
bridge operations.
The ferry had it< troubles too. The
boat cairying the 'bus and passengers
from the 6:50 Pennsylvania train got
stranded oil tlio platform on the South
side and was considerably delayed be
fore tho ferryman could work it loose.
Hallow E'on parties are being ar
