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; also the follow ing couucilmen, mem bers ot the committees of market and ordinance, George Jacobs, Jacob Boy er. James Finnigaii. Jacob Diet/., aud A. C. Angle. Burgess W. J. Rogers was also present. St. Hubert's l : air. St. Hubert's Fair continues to be well attended. A line lot of religious articles such a- Prayer Books, Ros aries, etc., are tor sale. The contest, for Gold Watches and Dinner SET will close Saturday evening. Everybody is invited to attfiid the fair and a good time is assured all who come. EDI IDS IN MIDI 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. MARRY FOX BAIJLY INJURED Harrv Fox, of Welsh Hill, met with j a serious injury while working in Bloomsburg yesterday. He is employed in the car shops at that place and was , assisting in tearing down old cars. As one of these was being demolished the truck when released ran down upon him. Mr. Fox fell aud the wheels ran over his left foot. He was too much I injured to walk and was placed on a ! cot aud carried to the office of a local physician, where it was fouud that the ankle was dislocated and the boue of the foot was split. The dislocation was reduced, aud foot bandaged, after | which the man was placed on the trol- j ley car, due here at 12:30 o'clock I and, in company with his brother-in- ; ! law, John Kriner.was brought to this | city, w here he was taken to the resi -1 dence of his brother, John Fox, Cherry j I j street, whence later be was remove I j | to his home on Welsh hill. The injured man is the son of Wil- I liam Fox, Cherry street, aud is au in ! dustrious, hard working man, w ith a family of six children. He has been especially unfortunate of late. Last I winter he passed through a siege of ' typhoid fever and had just recovered ' sufficiently to go to work when the shut down occurred at the Reading ' Iron works, where he was employed s Hazleton factory owners are trouhl I ed because so many of their employees quit work to atteud the matinees.

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.

EVANS HAS 241 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. 3325 Herring . 1964 Hat man . .. . 3578 This count, which will likely staud as the correct oue, gives Mr. Evans a majority in the district of 241. MchENRY HAS 2500 HAJORITY John G.

ALWAYS WITH US. I Our State exchanges bring in ac | counts of numerous accidents happen ing to hunters, some of them fatal. It is probable that tragedies of this sort will happen as long as there is game to hunt and ignorant or inexperienced or impetuous individuals to hunt it. ESTABLISHED fN 1855 ILARCE IE POLLES Not within many years lias an elec tion occurred in which such absorb ing interest centered in practically all the offices to be filled and during the campaigu of which such hard fonght battles were waged anil su much hard worn was done by the candidates per sonally. Naturally the interest suffic ed to bring out a large vote. The weather condition*, too, were posi tively ideal and not only in the bor- | ough. but also in the rural precincts 1 the voters turned out en masse and verv " j nearly a full vote was polled. In the 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.

JOB PRINTING Of all Kinds and Description 1 LABOR 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. j" PERSONALS, "j Charles Hauver, of Sunbury, spent Sunday with relatives in this city.
