PROCEEDINGS
or COUIIL 1
The subject of amending the market
ordinance as it relates to butchers,con
turned 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 aud '
expressed themselves in no uncertain
terms. They all took the view that
the uou- resident butchers have a de
cided advantage over resident butch
ers; that the curbstone market, which 1
was origiuallv intended to be « farm
ers' market, is now largely a butch
ers' and hucksters' market. In order
to secure justice to all, the consensus
of opinion seemed to be that the non
resident tintchers. all of whom it was
alleged, purchase the meat they sell,
should he obliged to take out a license, 4
if this could be done. Another plan
suggested was that the ordinance be ,
amended to limit the curbstone M irkot
to self-producers.
On motion it was decided to hold a.
public meeting in council room at 7 :3T> J
o'clock on 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
anioudiiig tho 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. A K. railway, relative to a re
quest from the borough to carry the F
Church street sewer through under the
track at Bloom street. He requested
that council fix a date for a confer- I
E'NC" between himself and the commit
tee oil streets and bridges. Ou motion
of Mr. Bedea Wednesday next at 10:3<> ;
a. in. was fixed for the conference.
A commnuicatiou relating to the
sewer was received also from Division
Engineer G. J. K IV, of the D L. A?
W. railroad company. The communi- '
cation indicated that the I). L. & W.
company would readily grant the bor
ough permission to carry the Church J
street sewer under its tracks. It, how- j
ever, took the position that the D. L. }
& W. compauy could not reasonably S
b> atikc.L ro bear thr. . xpouse of th«->
work as the borough i- merely chang
ing its water course from one already
provided for by the D. 1.. & W. at the I
Ferry street crossing. On motion it
was decided that no action be taken ,
on Engineer Hay s communication un- ,
til after the conference with a rep- J
resents five of the P. SC R. railway
company.
Borough Electrician Newton Smith !
presented a statement of tho expenses J
of operating the light plant during ,
October.JAmong the items were 75 tons,
of coal at #2.50 per tou or IS7 50. The !
total amount was £4'B 91.
Mr-. Levers appeared before council i
urging tliut some action be taken to j
prevent the flooding of the cellar of J
her residence at the corner of Church i
and Centre street- On motion it was ;
ordered that the matter !><» left in the !
hands of the committee on streets and
bridges, which will make investiga
tion at the earliest opportunity.
Ou motion of Mr. Jacobs it was ord
ered that ail property owners ou
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, Bover, Dietz,
Bedea, Angle, Russell, Jacobs, Fi N
nigan and Eisenhart.
CI riZENS' MEETING
MELD LAST NIGHT
Some twenty-five citizens assembled
in the council chamber last night in
response to the invitation extended by
council to meet with the committees
of market and ordinance for the pa -
puse of discussing a change in the, j
market regulations.
The attendance was not what was J
anticipated, but au extended inter
change of thought took place, relating;
to the matter in hand. IT was the con
sensus of opinion that many abuses
have crept into the curbstone market, 1
and thos present seemed divided as to
whether the market ordinance should
be amended or the market abolished
altogether.
The committees will repurt what
sentiment was discovered back tocouu
eil, hut it is doubtful if any action
will be taken until a larger meeting
-hall be held.
The following citizens were present
at the meeting: Charles Lyon, John
Eisenhart, Lewis Dietz, Henry Divel,
John Doster, T. W Wintersteen, Ed
ward F Bell, Joseph Sperring, Isaac
Cross, Howard Moore, W. R. Miller;

The AMERICAN is in receipt of
the following statement allowing the
status of Montour county with rela
tion to the Sproul good roads law, sent
by the State highway commissioner.
Joseph W. Hunter:
I The following districts in Montour
count)- have tiled applications for
State aid in improving 49,663 lineal
■ feet of roads under the Sproul good
rnnds law of 1903. which wa« later
superseded by the a:t of assembly, ap
proved May Ist, 1905.
Valley. 3,689 feet; Mahoning, 4,548
feet ;Valley, 500 feet ; Danville, 2,03*5
feet ; Liberty, 6,160 feet ;Vallev 10,560
feet ; Limestone 6,600 feet ; Limestone
5,380; Derry 10,189 feet; Total, 49
663 feet, or nearly nine and 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 share 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 line between Mahoning anil Val
ley townships. Total cost of construc
tion 18,279.07, the State's share being
; $5,519.39.
The follow ing road was constructed
by Fiss & Hart man, of Shamokin
Dam, Pa., under the Act of May Ist,
1905. the State paying three-fourths of
the cost: 3,686 lineal feet of road, 18
feet wide, in Valley township, extend
ing from the line between Valley aud
' Mahoning township to Mausdale.
Total cost of construction $5,044.64,
the State's share being $3,783.48.
J Plans, estimates and specifications
I have been prepared and the State high
j way department is ready to advertise
I for bids on the following roads, as
-.TUN A> the ilurouxli authorities notify
them that they are satisfied with the
estimate and are willing to proceed
1 with the work :
1,200 lineal feet of brick paving, 20
1 feet wide, and 813 lineal feet of ma
' cadam, 16 feet wide, iu Danville bor
J ough, extending from the intersection
of Centre and Mill streets, along Mill
street in a northerly direction to the
Mahoning township line.
The amount of monev available for
|
, road building purposes in Montour j
| county, until .Tone Ist, 1907, is sl3, ,
J 826.97. The 1907 and 1908 apportion- |
meut, amounting to about #5,155.81, |
' becomes available on the first of next |
i June, making a total of about $lB,- ,
982.78 for use until June Ist, 1908, at
which time the 1908 aud 1909 appor- |
! tioiiment, amounting to about |5,165.81 ,
; falls due. making a grand total of
about #24,138.59 available until June
Ist, 1909.
At an average cost of per |
mile it will require an expenditure of ;
about $76,000 ro construct tho nine ■
and one-half miles of ioads covered by
the above applications. the State share
of which will be about ss7,ooo,where
as Montour county's entire apportion
nient 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 appropriatiou, it will be
impossible for the State highway de
partment, to construct all the roads
for which State aid has been applied,
uot taking into ensideratiou the ap
plications which may be made by the
various districts in Montour couuty
during 1907, 1908 and 1909.

In Politics.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.
The reform movement in Philadel
phia and throughout Pennsylvania re
ceived a sereve blow iu Tuesday's elec
tion. The latest figures show that ev
erywhere iu the city aud the State the
Fusion party opposed the regular
Republicau 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 fusiouists carried the
State for State treasurer by a plurality
of 88,000.
In Philadelphia Stuart ran ahead of
his ticket aud carried the city by a
plurality of 32,328. The complete
figures for governor iu this city are
Stnart 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, aud Henvy Houck, for
secretary of internal affairs, the other |
J candidates on the Republican State
| ticket, were also elected by pluralities
■ slightlv under that of Stuart.
ROTAN ELECTED.
The unexpected result of the elec
tion in Philadelphia was keenly felt
by the reform party. The principal
fight in the city was made for the
office of district attorney, and it was
one of the bitterest iu the political
history of the county. The leaders of
the City party, which had effected fus
ion with the Democrats and Prohibi
tionists on the local ticket, felteertaiu
that I) Clarence Gibbonev, their can
didate for district attorney, would
win, hut the figures show that Samuel
L J . Rotau, opponent, carried the
city by 12,121 The Republican ear
didates for city treasurer and register
of wills were also elected liv about
the same plurality.
DEMOCRATS OA IN FIVE
Incomplete figures from tho thirty
two congressional district of Pennsyl
vania indicate that the Democrats
gained five congressmen, which will
MAKE their delegation in the next
house six instead of one. It is possible
that official figures may reduce the
Democratic gain slightly.
The next legislature will remain
heavily Republicau, although the
Democratic and reform representation
will be larger.
A notable feature of the campaign
iu Pennsylvania was the success of
the United Mine Workers of America,
which organization eutered the polit
ical field for the first time in this
State. The latest figures show that
the miners will be represented in the
uext congress bv two of the officers of
the organization and in the Legislat
ure by about a half dozen members of
tho uniou, all of whom were candid
ates on the Democratic ticket.
The miners' representative in Con
gress will he William B. Wilson, in
ternational secretary-treasurer, who
defeated Congressman Elias Deemer,
Republican, in the Fifteenth district
by 700 majority and Thomas D. Nic
holls, district president of the uppei
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-
I ing active part in politics and stump-
Jed both district for the officers of the
| uniou.

borough a number of wage earners,
owing to the shut down at the Read
i ing Iron works, are temporarily em
ployed out of town and allowance has
to be made for the absence of many of
these, who did not come home to vote,
i 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
1 disregarded. It was uo secret during
the day that independent voting was
the rule and even the knowing ones
were at sea as to what the result might j
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.

sinn
Mill street last night was the scene
of a unique demonstration the first of
its kind which so far as can be recall
ed ever took place in Danville. It was
purely a labor demonstration, gotten
up in the interest of organized labor.
That it was a successful and well-mail
aged affair ks well for the intel
ligence and in . organization of
! the working men.
The demonstration was gotten up by
the Iron Moulders Union. Others in
line were the Stove Mounters' Uniou
aud the Amalgamated Association of
Iron Steel aud Tin workers. lu line
were about one hundred moulders,
1 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 strikiDgly 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 is
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 street
and thence to the armory where the
members of the A. A. of I. S. & T.
W fell into line. The column then
marched back over Mill street and
across the river bridge, countermarch
ing to the armory. Fire works were
shot off and red light was burned on
the street as the parade passed. The
best of order prevailed.
Au 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
that seemed to have been inspired by
politics, the official stated, were not
authorized by the organization.
