Mr. Magill seconded the motion. There being no other nominations a vote was taken Mr. Corman received the un animous support of Council and he was therefore declared elected to serve for the ensuing three years. Mr. Boyer reported a nuisance on i Church street in the form of cellar draiuage and waste water, which is permitted to accumulate in the Kit* 1 ters. On motion the Street Cominis- i sioner was instructed to notify ' property owners to proceed at once to I abate the nuisance by connecting their houses with the public sewer recently ! oompleted. Mr. Goeser of the Committee on Or- I dinance and Police called attention to I the petty stealing and dariug bur- < glaties which have takeu place during I the last week or so. He thought that 1 it was high time that something were J doiirt to bring the thieves to justice.

On motion of Mr. Heifsnyder it was ordered that the Friendship Hose House be wired on the lirst story by ( the Borough.

A horse attached to a buggy and driven bv William McCloughaii, of near Rashtown, slipped on the pave rnet opposite Hunt's drug store. Mill street. Saturday afternoon and fell violently on the bricks, breaking the shafts. It was necessary to unhitch the animal and run the buggy aside Carriage maker D. O. Hunt finally came to the rescue bringing a new pair of shafts and taking the broken (ines to the shop tor repairs, after which Mr. McCloughan hitched up his horse again and drove home. It is quite a common occurrence for horses to slip on the brick pavement, but they do not all get such a hard tall as Mr. McCloughan'H horse. In some instanoes the horses fall no mat ter how carefully driven,while at nth er times a mere spring caused by be ing touched by the whip causes the horse to lose his footing. On the whole it is evident that too much care can 1 not be exercised by drivers while pass -1 ing over the brick pavement. ' Dlehl Family Reunion. The five Diehl brothers -Jeremiah, Wesley.

DANVILLE WINS 1-ItOM BERWICK For the first tune this season the Danville A A. met the strong A C. <& F. team, at Berwick, and scored a victory. Danville got right down to business in the start ami scored throe runs in the first inning on a base on balls, an error by Seal, and hits by Ross, Price and Logan. Danville add ed two more runs in the third on hits by Clayberger, Ross and Price and an error by Buck. In the seventh another trio crossed the plate and this ended the run getting on the part of Dan ville. Berwick did not score until the third inning when they tallied once on an error by Rhodomoyer, followed by singles by Buck and Smitii. Two runs were made in the fourth on an error by Hummer, a sacrifice by Gilbert, a two-base hit by Oatey.who stole third and a sacrifice by Buck. A hit by Gilbert, who stole second, and a hit by Carey, netted a run iu the sixth. Two bases on balls aud a hit, secured another in the eighth,and the last run was scored in the ninth on two hits, a base on batls, a stolen base aud a long fly to center field. The game was long i drawn out, aud void of interest to the homo rooters, as the Danville boys were evidently winners from the start. : Berwick played listless ball through out, allowing no less than two stolen i bases while Gilbert held the ball,much to the chagrin of the large audience present. Danville had a great many enthusiastic friends iu the crowd,who l encouraged our players. The manage- < ment of the local team endeavored to I book Berwick for a game at DeWitt's Park but was informed that Berwick I plays at Berwick only. < Following is the score: DANVILLE A. A. I R Ho.

THE INUNCTION IS IIISSOI.VEII Judge Savidge Monday handed down an opinion in the injunction case of M. F. Guliok, South Danville, against the Danville & Sunbury Elec tric Kailway Company, deciding that the defendants tiave the right of way and placing the costs 011 the plaintiff. The opinion dissolving the injunc tion was handed down at 1:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon. By half past 2 the Danville and Sunbury Electric Railway Company had a foroe of some twenty men at the spot, who immedi ately began the work of constructing the traok in front of the Gulick prop erty, Hazloton avenue, where the trol ley people were held up by the injunc tion and were obliged to leave the track unfinished. After halt an hour some twenty men additional arrived at the spot and leaping into the trench began to ply their picks and shovels in a way that showed they had im portant work on hand. There were uow some forty men at work on the track while lined up along the side walk was a number of citizens quite as large who were feverish with ex citement carefully noting the progress made and wondering whether the work would proceed to completion before another holdup might occur. Ties, rails, spikes and fish plate were all on the spot. The work proceeded rapid ly and before dark the link of track was oompleted. Judge Savidge iu his opinion states that the trolley Company has the right of way not only under the new charter but also under the old ono of 1872, which it purchased and which gives it the right of eminent domain. All the costs are pot on the plaintiff. (3. C. Yetter. Esq., Monday stated that all the details connected with the ( undergrade crossing at the Pennsyl vania Railroad are agreed upon. As soon as the papers are signed—which will be in a day or so—some four lion dred men will be put to work at the crossing and at other points on the line. The line will be pushed im mediately to DeWitt's Park,and thence 011 to Suubury in double quick time. Mr. Yetter stated that iu spite of all delays experienced he feels oonfident that trolley cars will be running to Suubury by October Ist. Judge Koch on A Street. Pursuant to action of Council at its last meeting Secretary Patton wrote to Judge Koch of Pottsville making iuquirieH as to the attitude of the Dan ville & Bloomsburg Electric Railway Company toward certain repairs 011 A street required in order to • protect 1 properties abutting. Yesterday a reply was received from Judge Koch, which leaves no doubt as to the trolley com pany's good intentions and that «very tliing in a short time will be fixed up to the satisfaction of all. Judge Koch labored under a misap prehension as to the regular meeting time of Council and had made arrange ments to come to Danville next Friday and meet our Borough Fathers. Learn ing from Mr. Patton's letter that Council met 011 last Friday night ho of course saw that the trip would be useless. He therefore wrote for in formation as to the next regular night of meeting. 111 his letter Judge Koch takes occasion to say . "So far as A street is concerned we desire to do everything that we have agreed to do. if anything remains un done by us, under the agreement. When I get to Danville again I shall give this matter special attention, as we are very anxious to finish all in complete work Of course we do not volunteer to do anything which the law imposes on anyone else to do. We intend to carry out all reasonable un dertakings in good faith as well with private individuals as with the mu nicipalities in which the road lies. There is no disposition on our part to quibble or escape from performance of any duty." Yesterday Secretary Patton wrote to Judge Koch apprising him of the date when Council meets again aud asking that he be present on the oc casion. Home From California. Jacob Doster has returned home from his third trip to the Pacific Coast. Mr. Doster is in love with California and he yesterday stated that his next or fourth visit to the Pacific Coast will in all probability be his last one, for when he finds himself ready to make the next trip 110 will be inclined to make arrangements for locating on the other side of the continent. Mr. Doster is not only attracted by the salubrious climate with its ab sence of winter as we experience it. hut also with this business opportuni ties that exist and the progress!veness and enterprise of the inhabitants Mr Doster was absent for over a month. During Jiis visit he took in the Portland Exposition, which, he says contains many fine attractions,al though the fair is 011 a less extensive scale than the several groat expositions preceding it during the decade or so past. The exposition can be very easily taken iu during a period of four days. 1 While In California Mr. Doster look -1 ed up a number of Montour county people, especially Ed. Y. Seidel and family, who reside in Los Angeles. Both Mr. and Mrs. Seidel aic well and 1 happy Mr. Seidel has a nice paying 1 business and a cozy home. Neither 1 expressed anv desiro to return East. 7 1 No boy can succeed in this life if he 1 fails to take advantage of the oppor tunities with which 110 is surrounded. I'BSMSI.

There weie quite a number ot bidders tor the work, the proposals varying but little m the figures submitted. The bids wore opened aud read by the Secretary, the contracts being awarded as follows: First Ward building—Mrs Sara Mil ler, |38.00. Second Ward—Mrs. Dye ami Mrs. Hoim, 125.00. Third Ward—Mrs. Amelia Davis, fist. 00. Fourth Ward —Mrs. Ida Wilson, 1 #22.00. Welsh Hill —Mrs. Anderson, $5.00. Mr. Fischer reported that excellent progress was being made 111 the mat ter of repairs. In the way of addition al repairs it was ordered that the wash basins iu all the buildings be over hauled and fixed up at as cheap a rate as possible. Ralph Kisner, Solicitor, was at the meeting and called the attention of the Board to several new laws relat ing to tho public schools, which were approved last spring. He first, read the act of March 16, 1905, permitting chil dren residing in districts in which there are no high schools to attond high school in some other district. The act reads as follows : Section 1. Be it enacted, &e., That children residing in school districts in which 110 public high school is main tained may attend a high school iu sone other district located near their homes: provided the consent of the directors of the district in which said high school is located he first obtain ed ; the cost of tuition and school books, which shall not exceed that of the tuition aud school books of chil dren in the same grades or courses in the district maintaining such high school, shall be paid to the district re ceiving such children out of the mon eys raised by taxation for public s'lhool purposes in the district in which said children reside: Provid ed, That bet'oie admission to a high school such pupils shall bo and found qualified for high school work, by the priucipal of such high school. It. appears there is some misappre hension throughout the county as to the provisions of this law To make it perfectly plain ju«t how far the Danville School Board is obliged to go under the law the following resolu tion was adopted : That no children from outside the Borough shall be admitted except on an order from the School Board of the School District where said children reside guaranteeing the expense of tui tion aud then only provided there is room in the high school. The second act referred to was that relating to "Humane Education," which reads as follows: Seotiou 1. Be it enacted, &c., That a system of humane education which shall include kind treatment of birds and animals shall be included in the branches of study now required by law to be taught in the common schools; such instruction to be given to all pupils up to and including the fourth grade of the public schools of the Commonwealth aud to consist of not more than half ail hour each week during the whole term of the school. That no experiment upon any living creature to demonstrate 111 physiology shall be permitted in any of the pub lic schools of the State. The above act, which was approved March 27, 1905, takes effect immediately. The following members were pres ent: Adams,Orth, Burns, Pursel.Har ing, Werkheiser, Von Blohn, Fischer, Tiumbower, Heiss and Grone. (iame on Saturday. The base ball management have se cured the strong Springfield team for next Saturday at DeWitt's park. The champions of the anthracite region will present their strongest team and are determined if possible, to regain the laurels lost here on July 4th, when they wore defeated by the locals 111 0118 of the finest games of the season by a score of 7to 5. Danville will be as strong as at any time this season and a fine exhibition of skill may be expected. Springfield not only knows how to play the game but the players are a very gentlemanly sot 011 and otl the field The crowd is usually a largo one when these teams play and if the weather is favorable on Saturday the usual large turnout maybe looked for. The game will be called at 3.15 sharp. The line up will appear 111 this paper on Saturday morning. nr. limerick's New Rambler. O. W. Emerick, who owns toil-cent stores in Danville, Sunbury, North umberland, Mt. Carmel and Plymouth is now oscillating between,the several towns wherein his interests lie in a handsome new Rambler automobile purchased through our townsman War ren W. Weillver last week. Mr. Em crick,whose home is in Sunbury, came rolling into town in his now machine yesternay. Ho is very proud of its ac coniplishmont,especially its initial trip from Philadelphia to Sunbury, which was made with Mr Emoriok and his son accompanied by Mr Welliver. They left Philadelphia at 5:30 in the morning aud arrived at Sunbury at B:80 o'clock in the evening, the time including a stop at Lancaster. The ' machine is one of eighteen horse I power which can be speeded up to ' twenty horse power ESTABLISHED TN 1855 PUPILS BEING VACCINATED The practice of our physicians lias' increased considerably during the last week or so owing to the rush of par ents to have their children vaccinated in order that they may he eligible for admission into the schools,which open on the 28th inst. The public by this time have been pretty well educated up to the pro visions of the school law and parents who have children reaching the school age understand what devolves upon them. There are still some, however, who may have overlooked the law and to such the present article will be of value. | The school law requires that all 1 principals or other persons in charge of schools shall refuse the admission of any child to the schools nnder their charge or supervision except opon a certificate signed by a physician set ting forth that such child has been successfully vaccinated or that it has previously had the smallpox. The health authorities of such mun icipalities shall furnish to principals or other persons in oharge of said schools and to physicians the necessary certificate or blanks. The registry of the school shall exhibit the names and residences of all ohildren or persons admitted or rejected for reasons set forth and said registry shall be open at all times to the inspection of the health authorities. It is obvious that the certificate from the physician showing that the child lias been successfully vaccinated or that it has had the small pox need to be produoed only in those cases where the pupils have just reached the school age or are applying for admission to the schools for the first time. The fact that the pupils were enrolled in the same schools preceding years is taken as sufficient evidence that they were vaccinated. It will be observed that the certific ate must set forth that the child was not only vaccinated but successfully vaccinated.- The act carries with it a penalty. Any principal or other person who has charge of school who shall neglect or refuse to comply with any of the pro visions of this act shall, upon convic tion, bo liable to a fine of not less than five dollars nor more than one hun dred dollars and in default thereof such person or pel sons shall undergo imprisonment for a period not exceed ing sixty days. The local school board has shown its determination of living up to the very letter of the law by the manner in which it disposed of an exceptional case that occurred in the Fourth Ward last May. One of the pupils, reoently admitted, was found not to have been vaccinated The attention of the par ents was called to the law ou vaccina tion, hut they explained that the fam ily physician had refused to vaccinate the child—a little girl—owing to her weakly condition, she being in poor health It was the sense of the Bor ough Superintendent and the School Board that the law makes no excep tions in such cases and held that inas much as the girl was not strong enough to be vacoinated the natoral inference was that she was not physioally able to bear the strain of study and had better be out of school. The outcome of the matter was that the child, un vaccinated, was not permitted to at tend the school and had to withdraw. That owing to poor state of health vaccination is sometimes inadvisable there is no doabt. Soch cases are frequently adduced as instances in which school vaccination law does not apply. If the aotiou of the Danville School Hoard, however, is to be taken as a precedent there are no exceptions and the only alternative for principals and others is to live up to the letter in all the provisions of the law, or to run the risk of paying a penalty. <i.

JOB PRINTING Of all Kinds and Description BURIED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON Edward Fox of this place, who was killed by the earn near Heading Son day, was consigned to the grave in Odd Fellows' cemetery yesterday after noon. The remains arrived at this city on the 4 p. 111. P. & R. traiD Tuesday af ternoon accompanied by the engineer and conductor of the train on which Mr. Fox was fireman The body was taken to the home of William Keefer, Toby Hun Hollow, stepfather of the deceased, where the funeral was held at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Rev. C. D. Lerch officiating. The deceased was twenty years of age and was unmarried. He had lived abont Danville nearly all his life. Up to about eight weeks ago he was em ployed at the Danville Rolling Mill. Shortly afterward he went on the P. &R. Railway as fireman. He was a capable yonng man and was well lik ed. Among his first instructions on the railroad he was cautioned against the practice of stepping off the engine on to the track, which has caused the death of so many railroaders. On Son day, it seems, he forgot his warning and stepped into the very jaws of death. The accident happened below Read ing. His own train making a short stop he stepped down onto the next track and had no sooner set his foot upon the groond than he was strnck by a rapidly moving milk train. His body was flung a great distance, the back of his head being entirely torn away and one of his legs broken. Death, of coorse, was instantaneoos. riade New World's Record. The following from a Sharon news paper will be read with no little in terest by Danville people: "By rolling 703 tons of finished ma terial in 24 hoors beginning at 6 a. m. Friday and ending at 6 a. m Satorday employes of the angle mill of the Oar negie north works established a new world's record and are jubilant over their wonderful achievement and par donably proud of their remarkable at tainment. The new record was made under the personaljsopervision of Sopt. A. A. Corey,a brother of W. E. Oorey, president of the United States Steel Corporation. The best previous record of 530 tons was made last Thorsday, 428 tons having been the largest oat pot before that^time. In making the new record, Bxf> by % angles were rolled. The actoal run ning time consumed in rolling in the 24 hoors was jast 14 hoars, the ten hoars lost having been required for the heating of oold metal and in get ting the limited yard in shape for handling the enormous output. Com paratively small open hearth ootput and yard facilities for restoring the finished materialjptace a handicap on the operation of the ajgle mill so that the enormous tonnage prodoced daring the last 24 honrsjs made all the more remarkable. The mill is practically new and is considered tha best angle plant owned by the corporation. The new world's record jost established, well justifies the claim that the Sharon plant and Sharon workmen are the best." ♦ What gives the above a strong lOcal interest is the fact that Edwatd Still well of Danville is the roller at the plant which made the new worldjrec ord. * Object to Removing Trees. There is quite a protest againsf the removal of the line of shade tree® on West Market street, which has beet) de cided upon by the County Commis sioners in order to make room for the concrete pavement along the Coort House grounds. Several citizens have talked to the County Commissioners about the matter inqoiring whether tlie pavement could not be built with oot removing the trees. The Com missioners, however, show no disposi tion to recede and state that if we are to have a concrete pavement the |rees will.have to be sacrificed. They lake the view that ample shade will re main on the spot. To assist in filling up the open space Commissioner George W. Leighow yesterday stated that one of the smaller and healthier looking trees on the curb will be trans planted on the lawn near the front of the Court Hoose in line with the sev eral trees already growing along side of the building. Residents on West Market street, however, who appreciate the shade, take the view that considering the general slaughter of timber at the present time it would be wrong to cot down a single tree that could possibly be spared. Several have been heaid ta say that if a cutting down of the trees is to he the price paid for a concrete pavement, then they would be content to get along with a flag stone pave ment. The trees in all probability will be removed. New Pavement. Lew Titel is laying a flagstone pave ment in front of the meat market of L. C. Dietz, Mill street. One of the stone employed is the largest any where along Mill street and the pave ment hltogether will be a fine improve ment.
