Mr. Douglas has occupied a simi~ lar position with the Lehigh at And Therefore Ridgway Town- ship Commissioners Are Under Arrest Charged With Maintaining a Public Nuisance John McKay, J. L. Easton and M. W. Chamberlain, residents of Ridgway township, this county, will be arraigned before Justice Carey tomorrow afternoon on charges of maintaining a public nuisance. The men were arrested at their homes in Ridgbury on Saturday afternoon by Constable Spencer Brougham of this place. They were immediately released on their own recognizance to ap- pear on the date mentioned atove. McKay and Chamterlain are commissioners of Ridgbury town- ship, and Easton isa former com- missioner, his term of office hav- ing expired last spring. The arrest of the men is alleged to have resulted from political cordi~ tions which exist in that locality and it is expected that some highly interesting developments will fol- low. The complaints upon which the warrants were issued for the arrest of the men were drawn according to the common law form and ancient usages, They set forth the offense with particularity, and the form therefor was dug from the archives of the past. M. W. Evans, a resident of Ridgbury, is the complainant in the cases against the defendants, and he alleges that a certain ancient and public highway over and through which the good people ¢f Pennsyl- vania have been wont to pass on foot and horseback, with carriages and wagons, for an hundred years or more, and kaown as the Farrell road, bas been obstructed by the erection of a high fence made of boards, posts and barbed wire, and that by reason of such obstruction the aforesaid good people of Pena- sylvania, and particularly the resi- dents of the township of Ridgway are prevented passing along by and through the said ancient and public highway to their great dam - age and inconvenience, The com. plaint also recites that the fence was crected by the defendants in September last and that they have persisted in maintaining it until the present time; that it is a public and common nuisance that should and must be abated. The road in question is a short one, and is situated in such a man. ner as to save many people con- siderable travel, but for certain reasons which are expected to aps pear later, the road was closed a year ago by the township commis- sioners. The decision of the com- missioners was not acquiesced in by all the residents of the com- munity and foreign commissioners were called to settle the mattes. The latter decided the road should be closed, but Messrs. Maynard & Schrier, attorneys for those opposed to the closing of the road, secured a writ of certerorari, and the mat- ter is now pending before Judge Fanning. It will be alleged that following the issuing of this writ the defendants erected the obstruc~ tion cited in the complaint and that they have maintained it ever since. PERSONAL MENTION Dr. H. L.

There are several cases sent from Sayre which will occupy the attention of ‘the court before adjournment, among them being the case of Thomas Holmes, indicted for aggravated assault; Frank Delaney, larceny, and Ly man Heeman, Jr, larceny, Holmes is charged with beating Mrs Su. san Berhans early in November last, while Delaney will be con fronted with a charge of stealing an overcoat from the Bradford House.

CANE DINER WS | BIG SUES Large Number in Attendance and An Auxiliary Club Or- ganized The game dinner given at the Sayre City Club on Saturday even- ing was a most successful affair and was attended by a large num. ber of club members and their in- vited guests, The feast was a most sumptuous one, and included nearly all kinds of small game. One of the features of the evening's entertainment which followed the feed was the organization of an auxiliary club which has been dubbed “The Daadeloin Club.” and which has already acquired a large membership. The new or- ganization has only one benefit and this is immediately given to cach member as soon as he signi. fies his intentions of “jining.” The benefitis a thorough bath from head to foot, and those who jofned on Saturday night were given a bath whether they needed it or not.

Wood, aged 76 years, died last night at her home, No. 104 Pleasant street, after a long ill- ness. She had been confined to her bed only two days and her death was rather sudden and une expected. The deceased was born in Ulster county, N. Y., and came to this vi« cinity about fifty years ago, where she has since resided. She was a woman of most estimable character and her death will be sincerely re~ gretted by scores of friends. She is survived by two daughters Mrs. Augustus Brooks and Mrs, G. S.

They were interviewed by Chief Walsh at the station this moraing, in the presence of a large crowd of men who were waiting for the southbound train. Their teeth chattered as they told cof their being orphans and baying no home nor money. Tony Dabberio, the Italian police officer, dove down into his well filled pocket and pulled forth the price of breakfast for both boys, They immediately hunted up a restaurant where they appeased their hunger. Chiet Walsh has kept them in custody all day, and will endeavor to look up their friends il they have any. They are too young to be roaming about the country at this season of the year, and if their records appear to be straight the chief will endeavor to find places for them to work. WAY DOWN EAST At the Loomis, Dec, 8, 1906, “Way Down East” is a descriptive story of New England farm life, exemplified in its quaint and home- ly characters, set out in bold relief against a background of rustic honesty and simplicity—the play, although as familiar as any play possibly can be, fiom its having been before the public so many years, is seemingly still as well an- ticipated as though comparatively a new vehicle. Mr. Brady is sending one of the best quartets he has ever had in the show this season, and the good old:time songs that one hears on- ly when “Way Down East” comes around will be rendered from the corner of the porch by the berry pickers after finishing the toil of the day. It is not difficult to ac- count for the phenomenal popular- ity of “Way Down East” It is a story of plain people, telling an everyday tale, with the ingredients of sunshine and laughter, clouds and tears so deftly dramatized and so splendidly acted that it is liable to be played for years to come to the same high appreciation that continues to mark its course in the greatest theaters in the country, Winter has arrived at last. The ground is completely covered with “the beautiful” and the small boy is happy. Exposure Brings on Rheumatism Painful in its mildest form, uickly an agoay or or, or - lected.
