Mifflin BLORT AT ITS HEIBHT The aatumn that is upon us lias beeu thus far one of the most glorious sea sons iu years. Barring a few vagaries, suoh as that of Saturday, when tlie morning hours on the ferry ohilled marketers to the marrow, foretelling winter at haud lustead of the almost summer warmth of the afternoon, the weather lias been perfect—clear, crisp ami braciug. Truly we are enjoying "the year's last, loveliost smile" and it is well to make the most of it. These days fairly cry out "get into tlte country' - and go there one should. Everyone can find a few hours iu the week to turn his back on man's handi work, no matter how absorbing, to ex ploit the otteu unrealized wonder of nature's. If you cannot find time, get it somehow ; you will never regret it. The winter is close at hand.when per haps none but the enthusiast can be expected to admire, while slowly cou gealing, the tracery of bare branches against the frosty sky or long stretohes of bleak, rutty, snow-flecked fields broken by sparkling, frozeu streams. Nature's wiuter charms are for the warm blooded, but now she offers of her most bouuteous stores to every eytt trained to see understandingly. Jack Frost has wielded a generous brash this year and the whole sur rounding country is brilliant with uu wonted color. The dogwoods iu their autumn glory of soft purplish piuks and reds deepening iuto bright soailet ber ries rival their suowy blossom time ; maples are aflame every where, oaks as befit their ago aud diguity flaunt rich er aud more sober hues; low basket willows bank the stream iu feathery copper masses; the fields ploughed for the fall planting are rich in purple and brown loam ; the woods aud road sides are lit witli a blaze of golden rod aud purple aster; apple trees hang heavy with ruddy truit, and the per simmon is ready for the pluokiug; beeches aud poplars add their touch of yellow ; on stump and fenoe aud lustic wall the Virginia creeper trails Its crimson way; while over all the sky shines richly, deeply blue. There are pleuty to appreo'ate the beauties of the country jast now. Ped estrians are off for long tramps over the hills. Every day, with a special bias toward Saturday,merry parties of boys aud girls gochestnutting, uncon sciously absorbing nature's charms. Hiding and driving parties know no better season for a tour. The love of the country—of living iu it seven 01 eight months of the twelve, if one can ; of seizing every opportunity to get out into it iu all seasons, other wise—is growing upou Americans. They refuse to be cooped up in towns or oities as formerly. It is a good sign of the times, this getting back to na tare, this studying at first haud her ever cfianging forms. It yields a rich harvest of physical, mental and spirit ual growth, a harvest even the unin itiated can begin to glean right now by going out into the woods and hills of Montour county where the autamu glory is at its height. Danville Wins Rubber The decidiug tennis tournament of Hloomsburg was played lu Bloorushurg Tuesday and resulted iu a victory for the Danville team. Of the two other tournaments play ed this year the first was played on the Bloomshurg Y. M. 0. A. grounds and was decided iu favor of the Dan ville team after a very close and ex citing contest.

Newton, of Harrisburg, con tracting agent for the King Blidge Company, was in Danville yesterday, but could not tell when the iron for the superstructure of the new liver bridge will bo shipped here. The King Bridge Company is under contract to finish the bridge by the first of next April and the Caldwell, Barry & Leo nard company is under contract to tiuish the masonry by the first of Jan uary. The latter firm agreed with the former to finish the abutment and first pier by October 15th and has doue even better than that for by next week enough of the masonry will be com pleted that three spans of the bridge could be constructed if the material were here. The Caldwell, Barry & Leonard peo ple, with energy and progress that is commendable have worked wonders on their part of the work. They have i'o intimation when the King company will ship its material here, so it looks as if the superstructure is not to be started at once, as it should be. The feeling in the matter on the part of South Danville residents is very in tense and there is a possibility of a pe tition being circulated for signatures and thou sent to the governor and the authorities at Harrisburg asking them to take action looking to the hasten ing of work on the bridge and requir ing tlte King company to show mote activity to insure the prompt comple tion of the bridge at the earliest pos sible date. niners Form Y.

PASGOB TELLS WHY The Danville and Bloomsburg trol ley company's side of the hearing in tho grade crossing injunction matter was taken up in Court Friday morn ing, Judge Little presiding. Experts testified against the practicability of an overhead crossing by either of the three route- proposed by the D. L. & W. railroad company, but before even a single witness was called Attorney Scarlet had made a strong case for the trolley people, showing from offi cial records offered as evidence in tho case insurmountable obstacles in the way of an overhead crossing. Objec tion followed objection to nearly every move of the attorneys of tho trolley company and the railroad lawyers fought hard, but even in cross exami nation tacts to strengthen the conten tion that only a giade crossing is rea sonable and practical hero were brought out Tho court room was fill ed nearly all day with citizens intent ly taking in all ot the testimony. Tho case began with the offering of records of the charter of the trolley line by Attorney Scarlet, of the trans fer of the Danville & Riverside line to the Danville & Bloomsburg aud of tho resolutions of extension. Mr. Hinckley filed objections to all of this. The act of assi mbly of 1841) incorpor ating the bor.iugh of Danville was cited and the acts of 1851 and 1852 on the general borough law. Then tho ordinance of council giving the Dan ville & Hi verside trolley company now the Danville & B'oomsburg the right of way wa-i offered and important sec tions were read. The ordinance al low- the trolley line to be constructed only at the established grades of the borough and provides among many other protective clauses that the cars must stop at steam railroads while the conductor goes alien I to signal the car to advance if th • way is clear. Harry Patton.tlie borough clerk,was the first witne s, being called to pro duce the council's ordinance book to prove that the copy of the ordinance offered in court was correct and show that the trolley company had accepted tho provisions ot the ordinance. Mr. llin kloy again objected when Mr. Scarlet proposed to offer a resolu tion of council to show that the pro posed Mill street oveihead crossing not only has hen legislated against, but council still will not permit of its construction, saying that public inter ests demand a grade crossing, which can be made perfectly sate. At this point n w is shown that the injunction grant, d again<t the trolley company is holdi unp the work of the borough. N r . Xt the ordinance requiring steam trains togo no faster than eight miles an bout in the borough was offered to show that th 1 Mill street crossing would not be dangerous with tmins ruuniug this slow. This also was ob jected to by the railroad counsel and from this point on the objections and exceptions were really too numerous to mention. The ordinance for the paving of Mill street outlining tho re quirements of the trolley company was offered together with the contention of Mr. Scarlet that the borough of Danville is directly interested in the been made a party to it. All of this evidence occupied the time of the Court until 11 a. m. I). J. Duncan, superintendent of the Pottsville Electric railway, was call ed and gave an account of his experi ence of over 30 years in the street rail way business. On the Pottsvillo line lie tuns 22 cars daily aud ofteu as high as 12 and they pass over 12 grade cross ings. Fivo cars go over one crossing over which .'504 tiains pass daily. Wit nes- said the danger of operating one overhead crossing has caused him more trouble in six months than all of his grade crossings in nine years. He just paid *ISOO in a case growing out of an accident on an incline and now has a *SOOO suit of the same kind to handle. He most strenuously is opposed to any grades over two per cent. lake a sleety day or wet rails and the car can not he In Id on an incline. The pro posed overhead crossing in Danville with either five 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 pedestrians who would feel safe thinking it was going from them all right. Mr. Dun can said in nine years he had only one accident on tho Reading road and that on a T'.j per cent grade. His conclud ing testimony was that the Mill street overhead eros-iug could be built but to operate it weuld not be safe or rea sonable. James M. Irland was called to iden tify photographs offered as evidence. Consulting Engineer Darlington, of Philadelphia, next gave expert, testi mony very similar to that of Mr. Dun can. He objects to an overhead cross ing by either of the three routes pro posed hee.ui-e 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 tho car from going back on the people below if the current should be cut off and brakes fail to work. Court adjounrcd to I:30 p. m. while Mr. Darlintgon was on the stand. At tho afternoon session the exami nation ot tie list witness was continu ed. He stated that ongoing off of the overhead crossing a trolley car would run at about 25 miles an hour if control should be bi-t.an 1 would leave the track and be demolished. A rail road train going at 8 miles an hour, provided by the borough ordinance, could h stopped within 50 feet and a troliey car couid be stopped within 30 feet. Witness knows of not a single place in the United St «tes where such ' a crossing as proposed by the D L. & W. is operated in a borough like Dan- 1 ville. Andrew Raedoll, of Bridgeport, j Conn , at: experienced trolley man, ] next was called and testified similarly to flit other expeits saying positively ( that tie Mill stret t crossing at giade j could be eared for in a way to elimin- r at ■ all danger. I J. O. Brown, who made tho survey ' of 1 tie Danville line, for 30 years a civil eugineer.said the overhead cross ing would be a source of danger by obstructing the view of drivers aud pedestrians. David Eckman and Henry Beru heimer next were called to state that the bliuil alley route proposed by the D. L. & W. is out of the question for part of the alloy is private property and the alley shown on the railroad maps really dooa not exist. Councilman George Reifsnyder was callod to establish that the oveihead crossing would interfere with tho bor ough light and tho water main and gas pipes, also with the appaiatus in case of fire. Councilman Valine was examined next aud corroborated the testimony that the alley in question is private property. Ho said that the overhead crossiug would be more dang erous than tho grade, that the danger of the grade crossiug was considered by council wheu they gave tho trolley line the right of way aud that the Council certainly would not permit of the building of the overhead crossiug. The objection to this testimony was sustained. Euigneer Darlington was recalled, but gave no now testimony. Harry Patton was again called to produce records of tho action of Council and the trolley company. W. F. Pascoe stated his extended trolley line experience,qualifying him to testify as an expert. He said the trolley company has its share of the paving to do and if the injunction is allowed to stand 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. Tho wit ness deseribbd 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 i at grade is an imperative necessity. R. H Koch, whqjs at the head of numerous street railways, was on the , stand wheu adjournment was taken at 5:15 p. m. t The preliminary hearing of the In junction cases of the D. L. & W. rail ! road and the Danville and Bloomsburg Street Railway Compauy was end d Saturday morniug at 10:85 o'clock, wheu Judge Little adjourned court until Friday next at 9:30 a. m. At that time the argument of tho cases will be taken up. It would have beeu impossible to finish the argument by noon Saturday so the continuance be came necessary. Judge Koch, who was on the stand at the time ot 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 motoruian and conductor all are on ' guard and safety devices minimize any possible dauger. On an overhead cross- I ing there is absolutely nothing to ov- I orcome the numerous mechanical fail ures that, may result in fatalities. The examination of the witness was conducted by Ex-Senator Herring and Judgo Willard carried on the cross ex amination. To try to show that the J. witness, who is a member of the con struction compauy working on the trolley liue, 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 au interest witness has and Lawyer Scarlet amusod the spectators in court by his statuient, wheu wit ness said ho has a one-fourth interest, that "well then your credibility is only affected one-fourth." F. C. Angle, president of the trol ley company, was called to produce the minute book of the Danville and Riverside company, containing record of the sale of the rights of that com pauy to tho Danville aud Bloomsburg company. Mr. Scarlet objected to the question asked the witness as to how 1 many shares he and Mr. Pascoo have 1 in the stock of the trolley company. Shortly after leaving the stind Mr. Angle was recalled to identify copies of letters written him by the D. L & W. people, which the railtoad counsel offered as evidence. On being cross ex -1 amined the witness said he gave the letters to the clerk of the trolley com pany aud could not say whether Mr. Pascoo saw them. Street Commissioner Miller was call ed to describe the location of the wat er main on Mill street near the mid dle of that thoroughfare and five feet below the surface, the trolley people contending that the foundations of the proposed overhead crossing would in terfere with the water main. W. F. Pascoe testified that the trol ley line is constructed and in opera tion from tie Bloom street Reading crossing to Bloomsburg. He said all local consents were obtained. The pap ers were produced by the trolley coun sel but were not opened. The cross examination of Mr. Pascoe was on the statement he made on Friday that Superintendent Rine, of the D. L. & W. .gave him consent to cross the rail road at Mill street. The witness again testified that ho talked with Mr. Rine. who said he (Pascoe) should first give him a plan of the crossing aud the witness did so.Riving one of the stand ard D. L. & W. plans. Asked why he attempted to cross the railroad at night, having consent to cross it, Mr. Pascoe's answer was: "Because it was the most opportune time aud the work then could be dono without interfer ing with the D. L. & W. travel." Mr. Pascoe was asked if he saw light poles, wires, and so on,on Mill street before beginning work on the trolley line. "Yes, I did, but I didn't see that camel-hack bridge you propose," was the answer of the witness. Tho railroad counsel at. this point called Superintendent Rine, of the D. L. & W., in rebuttal of Mr. Pas'-oe's testimony Superintendent Rine ad mitted talkiug to Mr. Pacsoe about the crossing bat claimed to have told Mr Pascoe that he would have to make ap plication for a crossing to the engineer ing department Later witness re- I ceived a letter from Mr. Pascoe asking permission to cross the track and re ferred it to the chief engineer. Mr. Hinckley at this point offered in evidence a Borough ordinance con- i cerning light, and telephone and tele graph poles to show that the Borough had control over them but Mr. Scarlet objected to the offering on the ground < that the ordinance merely provides for j the collection of fees and the several companies have vested rights that ths < Borough can not touch. Here the railroad counsel rested their ) ca e.

The tracks are laid and the cars run to the city, but not into it. Every day that tho cars are kept out of the business portion of the city now delays the beginning of a new era of prosperity here. To deny that any city of size in these modern times can go forward without the convonit nee of trolley lines with in its boundaries, bringing in people from the outside and making di-tann 1 seem as nothing, is absurd. To even suggest that huge piles of masonry i "little slices of cheeso" as they were facetiously styled at tho injunction hearings, and posts and braces to > strengthen the girders of the proposed overhead crossing should be placed in Mill street, Danville's business thoroughfare, obstructing it almost to the point of impassibility, is even more ridiculous. The Danville merch ants do not for a moment entertain I doubts as to the final outcome of the i matter, for they believe it impossible for auy one understanding the situa ) tion to be so blind as not to see that a 5 grade crossing at Mill street is the - only possibility, hut it is the dei ty - that stirs them so deeply and their a feeling in the matter is not to be con - denined when it is recognise d wh.it a B damper is boiug placed on the fires of > public advancement here. The stores a.o now in their second t week of keeping open nights. The 0 business is fair, but a large element j that would increase the Danville trade T is totally eliminated by the fai uie of » trolley cur-s to get into the city. Peo ple living on the route traversed by 112 the trolley I JI •ot near it aro eager to a use it to com • t<» ibis city to do buy t iug, but w i 1 net eume when compell ed to w;clk a great distance after leav ing the trolley ears. They come from • points not ree led by railroads and " when just within sight of having the < advantages of city people given them ' are held back by the delay in the op • erating of the trolley line in Danville. ' Many farmers who ase kept busy in 1 day time could come by trolley at B night to do shopping. 1 lu slioit tho matter is uot one mere* Ply of interest to Danville citizens but ■ to eveiyoue in this section. All thoughtful persons are sure of the ' eventual ratisfactory in ling of the trouble in favor of the trolley and of tho people, but what they decry is the delay and the serious retarding of the progress of Danville.
