Wm. R. Miller. Gen'l Manager TO ASSIST THE VETERANS At present there is some doubt as to just how the new act approved by Governor Staart on March 21, may affect the coming observance of Me morial day. The act provides that the county commissioners of the several counties or the town councils of the several boroughs, or both, be and hereby are authorized to appropriate annually to each post in their respective counties or boroughs a sufficient sum to aid in defraying the expense of memorial day. A leading member of Goodrich post No. 23, G. A. R.,yesterday stated that the veterans hailed with delight the prospects of aid to assist them in the proper observance of Memorial day. Up to last year the majority of the members of Goodrich post marched to the cemetery The time has come when, owing to advancing years, but few of those who fought in the civil war are longer physically able to march ki the heat of the sun a mile or so to the cemetery. The generous provision of the new law will make it possible to hire hacks, so that.not only the infirm, but also all the veterans may ride to the cemetery on Memorial day. The aid, it is hoped, will also enable the post to employ a baud, so that proper and inspiring music may not be lacking ou the occasion, as too often has occurred in the past. The veterans, however, have no knowledge as to how the county com missioners or the borough council may interpret the new act and consequent ly whether the assistance they may re ceive will amount to much or little. At the same time the result of the brief interview quoted above shows just what the veterans of Goodrich post desire and stand sorely in need of, so that whatever the county com missioners or councilmen may decide to do in the premises they will not b acting without full information. National Peace Congress. Burgess William J. Rogers has re ceived an invitation to the National Arbitration and Peace congress which is to meet in New York City from April 14th to 17th, and is requested to designate five suitable persons to assist him in representing this town.

Thompson over the Sun bury division on Saturday it lias been announced, unofficially, that the en tire Suubury division will be double tracked, and that the work will be completed this summer. The need for a double track on this division has long been almost a neces sity on account of the increasing traffic and the consequent congestion all along the line. The officials of the Suubury division have for many years been working with the ultimate object of having the whole division double tracked, and now it seems that they have sufficiently interested the meu high in authority of the necessity of the improvement. Much of the road is at present double tracked. Between Danville and Suubury there aro only four miles where there is but one track. On the rest of the division the many sidings make almost a coutinual double track to Wi ikes-Bar re. It is the intention when the double track is finally com pleted to institute a number of im provements on the line; curves will be straightened out and new bridges will be built. A new cement bridge in now in course of erection at Roaring Creek. This bridge,which was started yesterday morning, is to be for a double track. The company is also making improvements on its telegraph lines. KODOL For Dyspepsia clears the stom ach and makes the breath as sweet as a rose.

Danville will probably have rival quoit clubs the coming season. The old grounds at the planing mill at the foot of Pine street, which for so many years has been a popular resort, will be pretty sure to attract votaries of the sport and the sound of the quoits will be heard there as of old. Meanwhile the regular, organized club will occupy the building on Mill street just above Mahoning street, which was fitted up at considerable expense last fall. Here the sport went on merrily all winter. The proposition was a novel one throughout. In a com modious building warmed by a large stove, the walls of which are adorned with works of art and the windows of which are neatly shaded by curtains whose colors harmonize with the gen eral surroundings, the business men of towu who are wont to drown their cares in the exhilarating pastime of a gauie of quoits, whether rain or snow or fair weather,at all hours,have been able to indulge their love of the sport. The building is furnished with elec tric light and the pitching of quoits went on with as much vim during the long winter evenings as during the I hours of daylight. Under the circumstances it is not strange that the quoit pitchers have become attached to the winter quart ers and that although the rooins and | the blue birds have begun to sing, they ' have no thought of carrying rhe game out of doors,but will occupy the build ; ing all summer. To prepare for the season's sport, yesterday,they gave the floor a general overhauling, taking up the hubs and resharpening them. When midsummer arrives and mercury be gins to do stunts among the nineties the quoit pitchers will meet the diffi; culty by having electric fans installed, one opposite each hub. The officers of the quoit clulj are as follows : President. Jesse Shannon; | vice president, Ira Everhart; secrc ! tary, H. R. Moore; treasurer, W. H. Ammermau; trustees, J. H. Brugler and W. E.

For sale by all dealers Timely Discovery Prevents Fire. But for timely discovery a bad fire might have resulted at the Continen tal hose house yesterday morning The affair is enshrouded in much mystery. At an early hour. Charles Grimes, a boy who resides on the property ad joining, became aware that there was smoke in the iutwrior of building. On investigating lie found the floor in front of the stove on the first story on fire. With presence of mind the boy ran into McCaffrey's restaurant and secur ed a vessel of water, which sufficed to extinguish the blaze The fire was making rapid headway and by the time it was discovered had burned a hole in the floor nearly a foot square. There was no one about the build ing and had not the fire been discover ed just when it was it would have been a matter of only a few moments uutil the whole lower story would have been in flames. The engine house is in the midst of a cluster of buildings. Had a fire gotten a start on the spot, much damage would no doubt have resulted. The neigh bors are quite indignant over the state of affairs and demand that an in vestigation be made. It is said that a couple of men were observed to leave the engine house a short time before the fire was discovered Subpoena in Divorce.

VERNA REED ELECTED TEACHER Miss Verna Reed was elected as teacher of the second grade of the first ward at a regular meeting of the school board Monday tosucceed Miss Bertha Miiler, who resigned. Dr. Harpel, chairman of the com mittee on teachers and certificates,read a communication from Miss Miller, tendering her resignation as teacher On motion the resignation was accept ed. Dr. Harpel read the applications of Miss Verna Reed and Miss Alice Smull for the position vacated. Quite a dis cussion followed, considering the claims of the two applicants. Miss Smull is teacher of the Welsh hill school and the board seemed to be pretty evenly divided as to the advis ability of making a change so near the end of the term. It was conceded, however, that her claim to promotion was good. It was finally decided,how ever, to drop Miss Smull as a candid ate At this juncture Mr. Orth nomi nated Miss Laura Maun,another pupil teacher, employed in the borough. A vote being taken Miss Reed was elected for the unexpired term by the i following vote: Miss Reed Trumbower, Harpel, 1 Swarts, Redding,Pursel,Fischer,Fish, j Heiss. Miss Maun Ortli, Foulk. Borough Superintendent Goidy on being called upon for an opinion said he regarded Thursday, June 6th, as a suitable date for holding the high school commencement. On motion, therefore, the above date was selected by the board On motion it was decided that the graduating class be authorized "to conduct its own finances" and that the usual sum of ten dollars be ap propriated to assist in defraying ex penses. On motion of Mr. Fish it was order ed that council's proposition be ac cepted and an electric light be instal led at the Mahoning street entrance of the first ward school buihling. Before settling down to business H. H. Redding was sworn in as school director to fill the unexpired term of D. E. Haring, whose resignation was accepted at the previous meeting.

Our town stands very badly in need of a good cleaning up to make it thoroughly presentable aud heathful. Council at its last meeting issued an edict ordering all citizens who were maintaining ash piles or piles of man ure in the alleys to remove the same within fifteen days. The action of council is to be com mended and citizens to whom the ord er applies should hasten to obey it, while others who do not encroach up on the alleys but have an accumula tion of ashes and the like on their pre mises, should act upon the suggestion and without auy delay give their back yards a thorough cleaning up. Meanwhile, the borough should not forget that it itself has a duty to per form. The appearance of the town would be mucli improved if the alleys were given a general cleaning up and the gutters ou many of the principal streets were shoveled out and the ac cumulation of mud and trash carted away. The fine weather in March made it possible to begin the work of cleaning up much earlier thau usual audit is somewhat surprising under the cir cumstances that the good work has not been carried further than it has been by either the borough or the citizens. THE TWO CENT FARE ME The passage of the bill making two ceuts the maximum rate of fare for the transportation of passengers over steam railroads in Pennsylvania, which was approved by the governor Friday, must be accredited to the persuasive powers of the " Homeless 26," compos ed of traveling salesmen ; to the efforts of the State board of trade and the in defatigable labors of the board's sec retary. Mr. S. M. Williams The "Homeless 26" began the crusade with a demand for mileage books at S2O straight; that is,without addition al deposit of $lO. This the railroad companies refused to grant. The State board of trade was organized with Mr. Williams as the prime mover, and he was made its secretary. This stronger body continued the fight, and so suc cessfully that mileage books without the requirement of the $lO deposit were issued, and when two-cent fare Calk became common the companies made the fare two and one-half cents. But that did not halt the movement for a lower fare. This was demanded, and pledged, in the State platforms, and the board of trade asked for and received assurances from candidates for the legislature that they would support a bill making the maximum rate two cents a mile. The pledges of the successful candidates were well kapt, and the bill was passed with only a few votes in opposition. The governor approved the act and it be comes a law uext fall. This delay was granted to enable the railroads to adjust themselves to the new conditions. It is hintod that they will not obey without a contest in the courts, and that the iailroads all over the country will mike common cause against the rate bills which have been passed iu several States. That, how ever.is another story. In Pennsylvania the movement which began with a rea sonable demand for abolition of excess charges for mileage books has ended in the rate enactmeut, thus proving that the public can rule when it will.

A SINGULAR ACCIDENT The oddest of all accidents befell Heister B. Foust Sunday afternoon. In a moment of the greatest fancied security, while standing on the side walk with every apparent source of danger removed, in the meie act of turning to speak to a friend he suc ceeded iu breaking his leg. the fract ure being of a serious nature. Peter U. Farley, of Benton, a form er townsman and an old friend, had just made a call on Mr. Foust. As he was leaviug he paused to converse with some acquaintances at the corner of Front and Ferry streets. Heister Foust was standing in front of his place of business and desiring one word more with Mr. Farley before the latter left he turned quickly intending to step over to the corner and join the group of which the Benton gentleman was one. As he swung around with his left leg as a pivot his foot remained firm tohne pavement, which caused the limb to receive a sharp wrench, fract uring the bone about midway between the hip aud knee. Mr. Foust beiug robbed of his sup port instantly fell over and landed ou the sidewalk nearly prostrate. It was a moment or more before those pres ent could realizs what bad occurred, but the injured man coolly informed them that he bad broken his leg. An examination revealed that he was right. There were plenty of evidences that the fracture was a serious one. Mr. Foust was carried to his resi dence nearby and Dr. Newbaker and Dr. Paules were called, who set the broken bone. It will be many weeks before tiie injured man will be able to be about again. How This ? We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured bv Hall's Catarrh Cure, b'.

The legislature will adjourn on May 16, unless some unforeseen circumst ances make necessary a change of date. The senate was willing to adjourn on April 25, without taking account of the bills iutroduced or to be introduc ed, but deferred to the opposition and now proposes to adjouru on May 2. The house is not willing to end the session ou that date,because it realizes that this cannot be done if necessary legislation is to be pushed toward en actment. The honse, therefore, Satur day, passed its own resolution provid ing for final adjournment on Mav 16. Will the legislature bo able to ad journ on that date, and at the same time give to the public business the attention it deserves? Iu three mouths of the present session only one of the platform measures has reached the governor—the two-cent r.iilroad fare bill. Others are in various stages of progress, or non-nrogress, in the two houses or in committees. Will the leg islature be able to send these measures to the governor before May 16 ' Pro testants against setting any date for final adjournment, denounced the sen ate as the gravevard of necesssarv acts of assembly, which it is. But it was argued that what the senate does has no bearing upon the action of the house, and that the house could not, by sitting longer than May 16, compel the senate to perform its public duty. Some day, before the millennium, a justly incensed house may, in that way. expose a recreant senate. That cannot be done so long as the house meekly argues to discontinue its lab ors because the senate neglects the public business. While the debate on the resolution to adjourn was in progress the speaker said that if the members discussed the bills less and voted more the business of the house could be expedited and adjournment could be had easily ou May 16. Here two questions naturally arise: What is to be gained if the house talk less and vote more, if the senate will not pass the house bills? What is the criterion of debate? The senate is not attending to its duty. It has many house bills in committee. It is killing necessary measures,although for reasons best kuown to itself it passed the two-cent fare bill The sen ate cannot be coerced, as the speaker well said. But the session could be extended aud the respousibility for failure of legislation demanded by the people be laid at the door of the body responsible for it. Little discussion of measures is bad for good legislatiou aud good for bad legislation, and in this legislature, as in former ones, the bad aud the trivi al outrank the good and the important. There is not too much discussion of bills, the speaker to the coutrary not withstanding. Thnt is not a delibera tive body iu which measures are rush ed as if all the members were working "by the piece." Every sectiou of ev erv bill ought to be scanned by every member, and every vote should be cast for or against a bill according to its merits and not through indifference, or because somebody has ordered that the bill shall be passed or defeated. Time could and should bo saved, how ever, by compelling members to pay attention to roll calls aud by refusing to permit them to record their votes after the call. Use Kennedy's Laxative Cough Sryup.

The matter that has beeu sent out by the press and publicity bureau of this enterprise has not alone served the purpose of ex ploitation but has been made the sub ject of editorial notice iu some of our )>est newspapers. A few of these have criticised its adversely, claiming ex aggeration but regardless of attitude, the fact that this exposition liteiatr.re has attracted attention of this kind from the best newspapers is something unprecedented. If some of those who claim exaggeration could visit the site of the Jamestowu exposition at this timo—even iu its still incomplete couditiou—they would readily agree that a degree of enthusiasm is per missible in the premises, and that so far from being exaggerated in the matter of exploitation, the half has not really beeu told.

Recently Taylor heard that his first love was a widow, came east to see her aud ou Saturday announcement was made of their engagement. FIVE MINUTES IN PRISON Our towu on Saturday forenoon was the scene of something akin to a coui edv'in which the star performer was a citizen of West Hemlock township,ar rested for uou-paymeut of taxes Amoug others iu the cast were the tux receiver of West Hemlock aud Officer John Grier Voris of this city, win ap peared iu the dual role of police nan aud deputy tax collector. Tiie affair was the sequel of the had faith aud artful dodging that is so commonly practiced by individuals who desire to avoid the piymetit of taxes aud the outcome should prove warning to mauy others. Thedel tiqu ent citizen was Thomas Tanner, a well-kuown resident of West Hemlock townhsip. The tax receiver figuring in the case was T. M. Wiutersteeu, ,»It >se | trials aud tribal tfio'is are identical j with those of tlie average offioi.tl who | makes a conscientious eff >rt t > ed'e t ' all the taxes. The tax receiver alleges that he gave j Tauuer, the man arrest-- I, every op- j portunity to pay his tax. which I amounted to $2.55 —that Tanuer plead- j ed tlie waut of funds, notwithstanding that he was employed on a asw mill— j that he repeatedly promised to p»y his | tax as soou as he received the money, but never fulfilled his promise, even | refusing to give an order ou his em- j ployer for tlie amount. Forbear luce finally ceased to he a virtue and Mr Wintersteen de;id sd t? make an ex ample of Mr. Tauuer. Avaiiin; him self of the authority, which un ler the law is vested iu him as fix receiver, he performed the ait of arrest himsdf, taking the man iuto custody for refus ing to pay his tax. liaviug appreheuded Mr. Tanuer with tlie authority of the law the uext step was to place him iu prisou. Tau uer was by uo means averse to taking a trip to town au 1 "went along" readily enough. Reachiug towu the tax receiver with his prisoner was walking up Mill sttreet and had reach ed a polut opposite the City hotel, when Tauuer stopped short au I said ho had changed his mind aud believed he would not goto jail. The tax receiver was amazed at such contempt for authority and told him that he would have togo along—that he was arrested. Tanner still demur red and finally to show his contempt for the whole proceedings turue ljand coolly walked away. It was a new situation for the tax receiver and for a moment he was at a loss to know what to do. Finally.how ever.he rushed over to city hall,where he found Officer Voris, whom he ap prised that a prisoner had escaped and begged that he assist in the recap ture. The officer after learning the cir cumstances iuforme-1 Mr. Winter-;teeu that in the premises lie did not think he had authority to make arrest. There was oue way out of it aud to obviate all dauger of illegality it was decided to swear in Officer Voris as deputy tax receiver of West Hemlock township,in which capacity he was to effect the ar rest, of the delinquent Tauuer an I march him off to 1 ail. It was ouly the matter of a few mo ments. Justice of the Peace Daltou administered the necessary oath and iu less thau no tirng the assistant pi lice of the borough of Dauville aud the deputy tax receiver of West Hemlock township, both comprised in one per sonage aud commanding blue uniform, might have been seeu circulating on North Mill street ou a still hunt for Mr. Tanner. To make a long story short the man was found in oue of the hotels and was taken into custody. He was giveu auother chance to settle with the tax receiver, but he renewed his tactics aud [was taken to jail. He was full of bravado wheuhe was committed. He handed over to Sheriff Williams a pocket knife aud a kev. which seemed to be the onlv worldly possessions he had ou his person, with the characteristic anil resolute remark : •' Well, I am here to stay." The sheriff turned the lock iu the door, which made the man from West Hemlock prisoner in the county jail, while Officer Voris aud the tax re ceiver started down town. Tauuer was locked up at 10 o'clock. Five minutes later he raised a big out cry, the import ofwhich was that he wanted the sheriff. When the latter appeared Tauuer made the fact knowu that he wauted to get out. He was willing to settle aud had the money ready to hand ov er. The officer aud the tax receiver were still iu hailing distance aud the sheriff called them back. "By this time |2.B> in the form of costs had accrued and the news was gently broken to Tanner that instead of #2.55, the amount of tax which would originally have satisfied the tax receiver, the price of liberty was now more than double that amouut. This was discouraging, but it did not deter Mr. Tanner, who wanted to get out. as badly as ever. The rest is easily told. Mr. Wintersteen got his tax and Mr. Tanner got his liberty. The costs also were handed over to the proper auth orities. The deliuquent citizen of West Hemlock, it is true, paid pretty dear ly, but then experience is worth some thing.

In re distribution of the proceeds of the sheriff's sale of the Danville and Suuhury Street Railway company at court Saturday the exceptions were dismissed aud the auditor's report was coufirmed absolutely. •Fudge Evaus in his opinion after re viewing the exceptions to auditor's report.filed by Charles Chalfant, Esq., attorney for Mrs. Heller, explained that the exceptions signed by Mr. Chalfant were received through the mail by the prothouotary on January 16th. The exceptious were not sworn to as required by the rules ot court. In fact there w is no jurat of any kind attached thereto. The rules of court require that exceptions to the report of auditor* .-li.ill bo uooouipaaiad by an affidavit tint the same are not filed for purpose of delay, but because it is believed that they raise questions re quiring the actiou aud decision of the court in order to prevent injustice.

LIMIT OF IGNORANCE. Regular tinkering with our game laws leads the Titusville Herald to say that "it is difficult to understand why every session of the Pennsylvania leg- I islature considers it necessary to tink er with the game laws. This seems to be a subject npou which new and in experienced representatives are allow ed to experiment, probabfy with the idea that they can't make conditions worse. With three differeut dates in | autumu for the opening of woodcock, grouse aud quail seasons aud with the duck season opening too late iu the spring for northern hunters to get a shot at anything better than hell div ers, the limit of ignorance iu game legislation has about been reached."
