A POLITICAL JOKE.
This little political joke from the
Sroanton Republican may possibly be
relished by some of our readers
after the election:
"A local political candidate got on
a peauy-iu-tho-slot weighing machine
the other day down at one of the rail
way stations. He slipped in a peuuy,
but the indicator didn't indicate his
weight. He jumped up aud down. He
shook the clock face indignantly. Then
lie went and complained to an official
in the vicinity. 'lt's a swindle,' ho
shouted. 'lt's got my penny, h'gosii,
and it won't weigh.' The irate poli
tioian is very thin; he Is also a dem
ocrat. The official looked looked him
over aud remarked sympathetically:
" When you dropped the penny there
wasn't anything left to weigh!"
AT HAZLETON.
The Hazletou Standard tells about
the jovial way in which the young
folks of Hazletou celebrated the Hal
lowe'en festival. The fantastic garbs
seen on the streets were many aud
unique. "The young ladies were par
ticularly much in evideuce, wearing
base ball uniforms, cowboy outfits,
Indian costumes and various other
forms of human habiliment." The
Standard admits that "some of the
girls looked decidedly vulgar carrying
guus aud smoking cigarettes," but
says "chey were allowed unrestrained
sway and the most of the situa
tion. "
"POOR" POLITICS.
One of our Scrantou exchanges—we
have really forgotten which—tells of
the business experience of a young
friend of ours by the name of Vaughn
who used to be quite active in politics
but who for the last three years has
devoted himself strictly to business.
The result, according to the Scrauton
publication, is that the young man is
uow in receipt of an income about
three times as large as his political
emoluments amounted to in the other
and younger days. The moral of this
story seems to be : Get out of politics
and stay out.
May Condemn sewage System.
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, commissioner
of the State board of health threatens
to overthrow the whole sewage system
of Suubury. It is"the desire of Dr.
Dixou to keep the Susquehanna unpol
luted. The Suubury dye works is
doubtless the principal offender,as the
waste from the plant, with its poison
ous chemicals destroys the fish for a
great distance down the rher, as do
many of the city sewers which empty
into the stream. Dr. Dixou desires a
general sewage system for the entire
borough.
RISKY.
Women are always doing extra haz
ardous things. There was a young
German girl, living in Brad dock, who
came to this country tiiree months ago
aud took service as a domestic. The
other day she met a handsome young
man for the first time. They were in
troduced early ouo evening, spent the
greater part of the night ill each oth
er's company aud were married early
next morning .in Pittsburg. This may
. be a genuine rase of love at first sight
btit an adventure of this sort always
involves some risks for both parties.

PROCEEDINGS
OF COUNCIL
Tlio subject of amending the market
ordinance as it relates to butchers,con
tinued from the previous meeting, was
discussed at some length Friday eve.
by council, but no action was taken,
although the subject is by no means
dropped.
Henry Divel, Charles Lyon, Joseph
Smith and John Eisenhart, leading
butchers of the town, were present and
expressed themselves in no uncertain
teriiH. They all took the view that
the uon-resideut butchers have a de-
oided advantage over resident butch
ers; that the curbstone market, which
was originally intended to be a farm
ers' market, is now largely a butch
ers' aud hucksters' market. In order
to secure justice to all, the consensus
of opinion seemed to be that the non
resident butchers, all of whom it was
alleged, purchase the meat they sell,
should bo obliged to take out a license,
if this could be done. Another plan
suggested was that the ordinance be
amended to limit the curbstone market
to self-producers.
Ou motion it was decided to hold a
public meeting iu couucil room at 7 :30
o'clock ou Wednesday evening, at
which time the butchers and mer
chants of town should bo invited to be
present to confer with the committees
ou market and ordinance relative to
amending the ordinance as it relates
to butchers and hucksters to meet the
popular demand.
A communication was received from
J. E. Turk, division superintendent of
the P. & K. railway, relative to a re
quest from the borough to carry the
Ohurcli strfcet sewer through under the
track at 15loom street. He requested
that couucil fix a date for a confer
ence between himself aud the commit
tee on streets aud bridges. Ou motion
of Mr. Bedea \Vodnosday next at 10:30
a. m.was fixed for the conference.
A communication relating to the
sower was received also from Division
Engineer G. J. Ray, of the D. L &
W. railroad company. The communi
cation indicated that the D. L. W.
compauy would readily grant the bor
ough permission to carry the Church
street sewer under its tracks. It, how
ever, took the position that the D. L.
& W. compauy could not reasonably
be asked to bear the expense of the
work as the borough is merely chang
ing its water course from one aln-ady
provided for by the D. L. & W. at the
Ferry street crossing. Ou motion it
was decided that no action be taken
on Engineer Ray's communication uJ
til after the couferouco with a rep
resentative of the P. & K. railway
company.
Borough Electrician Newton Smith
presented a statement of the expenses
of operating the light plant during
October.sAmong the items were 75 tons
of coal at $2.50 per ton or $187.50. The
total amount was $4lB 91.
Mrs. Levers appeared before council
urging that some actiou be taken to
prevent the Hooding of the cellar of
Iter residence at the corner of Church
and Centre streets. On motion it was
ordered that the matter be left in the
hands of the committee on streets and
bridges, which will make investiga
tion at the earliest opportunity.
On motion of Mr. Jacobs it was ord
ered that all property owners on
Church street having cellar drains
running into the stree gutters be re
quested to connect with the sanitary
sewer.
The following members were pres
ent: Gibson, Sweisfort, Boyor, Dietz,
Bedea, Angle, Russoll, Jacohs, Fiu
nigau and Eisenhart.
CITIZENS' MEETING
HELD LAST NIGHT
Some twenty-five citizens assembled
in the council chamber last night in
response to the invitation exteuded by
council to meet with the committees
of market and ordinance for the pu -
pose of discussing a change in tlio
market regulations.
The attendance was not what was
anticipated, but an exteuded inter
change of thought took place, relating
to the matter in hand, it was the con
sensus of opinion that mauy abuses
have crept into the curbstone market,
and those present seemed divided as to
whether the market ordinance should
be amended or the market abolished
altogether.
The committees will roport what
sentiment was discovered back tocouu
cil, but it is doubtful if any actiou
will be taken until a larger meeting
shall be held.
The following citizens were present
at the meeting: Charles Lyon, John
Eiseuhart, Lewis Dietz, Henry Divel, j
John Doster, T. W. Wiutersteen, Ed
ward F. Bell, Joseph Sperring, Isaac
Gross, Howard Moore, W. K. Miller; !
also the following councilman, mem
bers of the Committees of market and
ordiuauoe, George Jacobs, Jacob Boy
; er, James Finuiaau, Jacob Dietz, and
jA. C. Angle. Burgess W. J. Rogers
| was also present.
St. Hubert's Fair.
St. Hubert's Fair continues to be
, well attended. A fine lot of religious
articles such as Prayer Books, Ros
aries, etc., are for sale. The contest
j for Gold Watches and Dinner Sot will
I close Saturday evening. Everybody is
invited to attend the fair and a good
time is assured all who come.

DANVILLE. MONTOUII COUNTY. PA.. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 9, 1900.
GOOD ROADS
IN HOUR
The Intelligencer is in receipt of
the following statement showing the
status of Montour county with rela
tion to the Sproul good roads law,sent
by the State highway commissioner,
Joseph W. Hunter:
The following districts in Montour
county have Hied applications for
State aid in improving 49,668 lineal
feet of roads under the .Sproul good
roads law of 1908, which wa* later
superseded by the a3t of assembly, ap
proved May Ist, 1905.
Valley, 8,681) feet; Mahoning, 4,548
feet ;Valley, 500 feet; Danville, 5i,0H6
feet: Liberty, 6,160 feet;Vallev 10,560
feet; Limestone 6,600 feet; Limestone
5,380; Derry .0,189 feet; Total, 49-
663 feet, or nearly nine aud one-half
miles of roads.
All of the above districts are town
ships with the exception of Danville,
which is a borough. The county co-op
erated with all the townships in ap
plying for State aid, agreeing to pay
an equal sharo of the costs of con
structing the roads with each district.
In making application Danville bor
ough agreed to pay one-fourth the
cost, thus relieving the county of any
expense in connection with the con
struction of their roads.
The following road was constructed
by the Maryland company, of Phila
delphia, Pa., under the act of April
15th, 1903, the State paying two-thirds
of the cost: 4,550 feet of road, 18 feet
wide, in Mahoning township, extend
ing from the northern line of Danville
borough, on the road to Mausdale, to
the lino between Mahoning and Val
ley townships. Total cost of construc
tion the State's share being
15,519.89.
The following road was constructed
by Fiss & Hartmau, of Shamokiu
Dam, Pa., undor the Act of May Ist,
1905, the State paying three-fourths of
the cost: 3,68G lineal feet of road, 18
feet wide,in Valley township, extend
ing from the line between Valley and
Mahoning township .to Mausdale.
Total cost of construction 15,044.64,
the State's share being $3,783.48.
Plans, estimates and specifications
have been prepared and the State high
way department is ready to advertise
for bids on the following roads, as
soon as the Borough authorities notify
them that they are satisfiod with the
estimate aud uro willing to proceed
with the work :
1,200 lineal feet of brick paving, 20
feot wide, aud 813 liueal feet of ma
cadam, 16 feet wide, iu Danville bor
ough, extending from the intersection
of Contre and Mill streets, along Mill
street in a northerly direction to the
Mahoning township line.
The amount of niouey available for
road building purposes in Montour
county, until Juue Ist, 1907, issl3,-
826.97. The 1907 uud 1908 apportion
ment, amounting to about $5,155.81,
becomes available on the first of next
Juue, making a total of about $lB,-
982.78 for use until .Tune Ist, 1908, at
which time the 1908 aud 1909 appor
tionment, amounting to about $5,155.81
falls duo, making a grand total of
about $24,138.59 available until June
Ist, 1909.
At an average cost of SB,OOO per
mile it will require an expenditure of
ab<£ut $76,000 to construct the nine
and one-half miles of roads covered by
the above applications.the State share
of which will be about ss7,ooo,where
as Montour county's entire apportion
ment to Juno Ist, 1909, amounts to
but #24,138.59. This leaves a deficiency
of about 132,861.41, and, unless the
next legislature makes a substantial
good roads appropriation, it will be
impossible for the State highway de
partment, to construct all the roads
for which State aid has been applied,
not taking into ensideratiou the ap
plications which may be made by the
various districts in Montour county
during 1907, 1908 and 1909.

In Politics.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.
The reform movement iu Philadel
phia anil throughout Pennsylvania re
ceived a sereve blow iu Tuesday's elec
tion. The latest figures show that ev
erywhere in the city and the State the
Fusion party opposed to the regular
Republican was either badly defeated
or had its last year's vote greatly re
duced
Edwin S. Stuart, of this city, the
Republican candidate for governor
against Lewis Emery, Jr., the Fusion
nominee, ran very strong everywhere
and his plurality may reach 75,000.
Last year the fusionists carried the
State for State treasurer by a plurality
of 88,000.
In Philadelphia Stuart ran ahead of
his ticket and carried the city by a
plurality of 82,328. The complete
figures for governor iu this city are
Stuart 123,493: Emery 91,165. Allegh
eny county,which includes Pittsburg,
gave Stuart an estimated plurality of
28,000.
Robert S. Murphy, for lieutenant
governor; Robert K. Young, for au
ditor general, and Henry Houck, for
secretary of internal affairs, the other
candidates on the Republican State
ticket,were also elected by pluralities
slightly under that of Stuart.
ROTAN ELECTED.
S The unexpected result of the elee
. tion in Philadelphia was keenly felt
by the reform party. The principal
light in the city was made for the
office of district attorney, and it was
one of tlx) bitterest iu the political
history of the couuty. The leaders of
the City party, which had effected fus
ion with the Democrats aud Prohibi
-1 tiouists on the local ticket,felt certain
that D. Clarence Gibboney, their can
i didate for district attorney, would
; win, but the figures show that Samuel
P. Rotau, his oppoueut, carried the
city by 12,124. The Republican can
didates for city treusurer aud register
i of wills were alßo elected by abont
the same plurality.
11 DEMOCRATS GAIN FIVE
lucomplete figures from the thirty
two congressional district of Pennsyl
vania indicate that the Democrats
gained five congressmen, which will
I make their delegation in the next
house six instead of one. It is possible
i that official fignres may reduce the
Democratic gain slightly.
The next legislature will remain
heavily Republican, although the
Democratic aud reform representation
. will be larger.
A uotable feature of the campaign
. iu Pennsylvania was the success of
. the United Mine Workers of America,
, which organization entered the polit
. ical field for the first time in this
I State. The latest figures show that
. the miners will be represented in the
next congress by two of the officers of
,; the organization and in the Legislat
. ure by about a half dozen members of
i the union, all of whom were candid
, ates on the Democratic ticket.
The miners' representative in Cou
-5 gress will be William B. Wilson, iu
. ternatioual secretary-treasurer, who
defeated Congressman Elias Deemer,
t Republican, iu the Fifteonth district
j by 700 majority aud Thomas D. Nic
j bolls, district president of the uppei
. i anthracite coal field, who defeated
Congressman Thomas H. Dale, also
Republican, in the tenth district.
• President John Mitchell, of the min
ers' union, broke his rule against tak
: ing active part in politics and stump
. Ed both district for the officers of the
. union.

in the borough of Danville, and won
ont over Calvin ShuJtz by a majority
of 459. For register and recorder W.
L. Sidler, Democrat, who now holds
that office, polled 1933 votes. Squire
Robert C. Auten defeated Henry
Kearus for jury commissioner by a
majority ot 285.
EVANS HAS
24! HAJORITY
Complete Vote of Three Candi
dates in Two Counties.
According to the latest figures ob
tainable, which include every voting
presinct in the district, the standing
of the three candidates is as follows:
MONTOUR COUNTY.
Evans 1149
Herring 972
Harman 655
COLUMBIA COUNTY.
Evans 3825
Herring 1964
Haiman 8578
This count, which will likely stand
as the correct one, gives Mr. Evans a
majority in the district of 241.
McHENRY HAS
2500 HAJORITY
John G. McHenry, for congress, de
feated Hon. E W. Samuel,the preseut
incumbent, by a majority of about 2500
in the district. McHenry ran well
ahead in all the counties in the dis
trict except Northumberland,the home
county of Dr. Samuel, where lie was
beaten by a small margin.
The vote in the counties resulted as"
follows :
MONTuUR COUNTY.
McHenry 1541
Samuel.. 1218
COLUMBIA COUNTY.
McHenry 4457
Samuel . 2474
NORTHUMHEKLAND COUNTY.
McHenry 6651
Samuel 6804
SULLIVAN COUNTY.
Last evening it was not possible to
obtain the complete vote for Sullivan
conuty, but it is estimated on good
authority that the county went for
McHenry by a majority of about 400.

the offices to be filled aud during the
oampnigu of which such hard fought
battles were waged aud so much hard

weather conditions, too, were posi

the voters turned out en masse aud very
nearly a full vote was polled. In the

these,who did not come home to vote.
Voting was slow during the day, but
at most of the polling places the rush
came on between five and seven
o'clock.
It would be hard to recall a time
when party lines were more generally
disregarded. It was no secret during
the day that independent voting was
the rule and even the knowing ones
were at sea as to what the result might
be. Candidates and workers alike
were dubious and they could not con
ceal their doubt. That the general un
certainty was justified is apparent in
the unexpected pluralities that show
up in the results.

11l LABOR
D9BITM
Mill street last night was the scene
of a unique demonstration the first of
I its kind which so far as can be recall
ed ever took place in Danville. It wan
purely a labor demonstration, gotten
up in the interest of organized labor.
[ That it was a successful and well-man
aged affair speak* well for the intel
ligence and thorough organization of
the working men.
The demonstration was gotten up by
the Iron Moulders' Union. Others in
line were the Stove Mounters' Union
aud the Amalgamated Association of
; Iron Steel aud Tin workers. In line
were about one hundred moulders,
some thirty stove mounters, besides
over a hundred members of the A. A.
of I. S. & T. W.
The music was a conspicuous feature
of the demonstration. Besides the
Mechanicsville band the Washington
, drum corps and the junior stars were
in line. The nature of the demonstra
tion was strikingly indicated by the
transparencies borne in the parade.
The largest of these carried at the
head of the column bore on one side
the motto: "In Union there ia
strength" and on the other side, a
similar motto with the addition:
"How do you stand?"
The parade formed at the Washing
ton hose house and with the Moulders'
and Mounters' union in line marched
down East Market street to Mill street
and thence to the armory where the
members of the A. A. of I. S. & T.
W fell into line. The columu then
marched back over Mill street and
across the river bridge, countermarch
ing to the armory. Fire works were
shot off aud red light was burned on
the street as the parade passed. The
best of order prevailed.
An official of the Union last night
emphasized the fact that none of the
labor organizations in line was in any
sense political and that the demonstra
tion had no relation whatever to any
thing connected with the election.
Whatever features were in the parade
tiiat seemed to have been inspired by
politics, the official stated, were not
authorized by the organization.
