If CROSS D. L
i W.JI CRUDE
Judge Evans Saturday handed down
an opinion and decree relative to the
holdup of the Danville and Blooms
burg Street railway at the crossing of
! the D. L & W. railroad on Mill street
in the borough of Danville. The pre
! lirninary injunction was dissolved and
i the Danville and Bloomsburg Street
Railway company was given the right
!to cross the roadway and track of the
D. L. & W. Railroad company at
grade.
The parties in litigation are. plain
tiff, D. L. &W. Railroad company;
defendants, Danville aud Bloomsburg
Street Railway company aud W. P.
Pascoe, C. E. Lippe, W. O Billman
and R. F.. Koch doing business under
the firm name of the Standard Con
struction company.
The testimony in the case was taken
on the hearing of the rnle to dissolve
the preliminary injunction Counsel
for the parties had agreed that the
court should dispose of the rase as if
the preliminary injunction had been
continued until final hearing and the
testimony had been taken on final
hearing.
Anticipating that an opinion relat
ing to the D. L. & W. crossing matter
would be handed down a large num
ber of interested persons apsembled at
the courthouse Saturday morning. It
was nearly 11 o'clock before Judge
Evans took up the matter of the cross
ing. During the three years past in
which the Danville and Bloomsburg
cars have been held up by tie D. L.
<» W. railroad company developments
relating to the disputed crossing on
Mill street have been watcbed with
absorbing interest by the public.
Judge Evans had not proceeded very
far with the very exhaustive opinion
before the trend of sentiment might
have been discerned. One by one he
took up'tho propositions advanced by
the two sides: as he "'affirmed" or
"denied"'it became pretty clear that
in the court's opinion it did not ap
peerr reasonably practicable to build
an overhead crossing on Mill street
nor to re-locate the track on Kerry
street nor on the alley between the
latter thoroughfare and Mill street as
was advanced by the plaintiff at the
hearing.
DECREE.
"And now Nov, 9th. 14)0? the cause
having come onto be heard and hav
ing been argued by counsel upon con
sideration thereof it is ordered, ad
judged and decreed as follows:
"First. That it is not reasonably
practicable in the construction and
operation of the street railway of the
Danville and Bloomsburg street rail
way company upon Mill street in the
borough of Danville at a point where
the track crosses the track of the plain
tiff's railroad tc avoid a grade cross
ing.
"Second. That the Danville and
Bloomsburg Street Railway company
be given permission and the right to
construct and operate its street rail
way on said Mill street across the
roadway and track of the D. L. & VV.
Railroad company at the grade there
of, subject, however, to the payment
of such damages as the plaintiff com
pany may sustain arising from the
negligence of the'defendant street rail
way company in the construction and
operation of such crossing when the
same moy be properly ascertained.
"Third. That the preliminary in
junction heretofore granted be dis
solved.
"Fourth. That both the construc
tion and the proper repair of the cross
ing be made at the proper cost and
charges of the defendant street rail
way company all under the supervis
ion of the plaintiff's engineer.
"Fifth. That upon the approach of
any of the defendant company's cars
to the crossing the car shall come to a
full stop at least fifty feet from the
crossing and the conductor shall go
forward upon the track of the plain
tiff's railroad and the car shall not go
forward until the conductor gives the
proper signal.
"Sixth. That the defendant street
railway company shall maintain and
operate an approved system of electric
signals, which will indicate upon Mill
street by the ringing of a bell in the
day time and by a colored light at
night the approach of trains on the
plaintiff's railroad at any point with
in 500 feet both east and west of Mill
street.
"Seventh. That theccstsof the pro
ceedings shall be paid by the defend
ant street railway company. By the
Court,
CHARLES C. EVANS, P. J."
Exceptions were noted by the court
on application and bill sealed.
The above is a nisi order, the plain
tiff having ten days in which to ap
peal the case.
Knowing ones affirm that the case
will be taken to the supreme oourt.
There are moments whea the silence

SHOT WILD CAT
NEAR BENFIELD'S
Charles aud William Welliver, who
are operating a saw mill in Benfield's
upper hollow. Valley township, Mon
day morning had the good fortune to
, shoot a wild cat.
i The cat was young,probably not yet
a year old, and weighed about 11
pounds. It is a beautiful specimen,
though, and the Welliver brothers are
very proud of their catch.
The two men were walking along
the road when their dog began chas
ing some animal in the brush. The
dog soon had his quarry up a tree,and
it was then that the brothers discover
ed the rare nature of their find. Luck
ily one of the men had brought his gun
with him and the animal was soon
killed.
PATIENTS ASSISTED
TO HUSK CORN
J .1. O. Warner of the Hospital farm
j lias finished husking corn. The crop is
! a fairly good one and comprises about
| 4,500 bushels in the ears.
Comparatively few of the ears are
! soft,although a large number are short
j in size.
The patients at the hospital each
year render muoh assistance in husk
ing corn. They like the work. It is
easy; there is a rivalry about it and it
keeps them pleasantly occupied. The
average amount of corn husked by the
patients daily this year was five hun
dred bushels.

The borougli council held a special
meeting on Monday nigtit to take ac
tion on the Petriken cemetery.
The old burial ground is now in the
hands of the borough authorities and
the meeting was held pursuant to the
final decree of the court to authorize
the insertion of notices iu the news
papers relating to removal of the re
mains of the dead.
These notices will run two weeks.
At the expiration of that period every
thing will be in readiness to move
swiftly with the last stage of the work
—the obliterating of the graves. Un
less cold weather comes uuusually
early the old burial ground will prob
ably be wiped out of existence this
fall.
The interments were all made so
long ago that it is unlikely that a
vestige of the remains can be found.
With one or two exceptions there will
be no removals.
Among the markers that remain is
that of Dr. Petriken's grave, a monu
ment. The inscription reads as fol
lows :
"David Petriken,M. D. died March
14, 1847, aged 57 years and 4 months."
A tombstone that attracts consider
able attention is an immense marble
slab on the lower side of the cemetery
011 which are chiseled the symbols of
Freemasoury and the following in
scription :
"Out brother, James Jordan Steb
bius. Born at St. Croix, West Indies,
March 23, 1821. Died September 6,
1848."
The msn buried is distinctly recalled
by our older residents. He was a book
keeper at the iron works and was ail
enthusiastic Freemason.
An effort will bo made by the Free
masons of Danville to find the remains
and re-inter them iu another cemetery.
If the remains can uot be found, the
tombstone will he removed.
The remains of the Petriken family
are said to have been removed and a
monument, the counterpart of the one
still standing in the old cemetery is
said to be ereoted at Bloomsburg,
where the bodies were re-iuterred.
Dr. Petriken vas a distinguished
resident of Danville in the olden time.
Not only was he a leading physician,
but he represented this district in con
gress two terms.
NEW GOLD PIECES
ARE UNIOUE
A few of the new ten dollar gold
pieces, designed by St. Gaudens and
just issued from the mints, have been
received in Danville, and a few favor
ed individuals who have the price
have been permitted to own one. The
artist has succeeded in producing
something entirely unlike auy other
American coin.and perhaps it requires
an artistic temperament of a high ord
er to appreciate the new piece, but the
prediction is made that there will be
a general expression of opinion to the
effect that it is not nearly as hand
some a piece as the similar coins
which preceded it.
So much license has beeu taken with
the American eagle that he looks like
a turkey buzzard with awry neck,and
the Indian on the "heads" side has
her hair done up with an immense
"rat," concealed with a high feather
hedge. The design is made unusually
deep, and one of the chief character
istics of the new coin is the substitu
tion of stars on the edge in place of
the usual milling.
CUTTING DOWN
THE SHADE TREES
G. M. Shoop is cutting down the
three shade trees in front of his dwel
ling on East Market street to make
room for sidewalk improvements.
A good many trees in town have
been cut down during the year past,
leaving a number of spots bare that
were well shaded before.
One of Danville's charms lies in the
abundance of shade upon its streets.
The tendency, however, seems to be
to get rid of the trees. It is hoped,
however, that the "woodman's axe"
will not cut too deep and may be stay
ed before it invades Beveral of our
thiokly shaded streets that remain.
It is gratifying that in most caees,
as at Mr. Shoop's residence, a fine
sidewalk or other improvement takes
the place of the trees cut down. Thus
while we miss the trees the eye has
something pleasing and artistic to
gaze upon in their stead.
BRICK CROSSINGS
ON BLOOM STREET
A force of men under the Btreet com
missioner have been employed during
a couple of days past in laying vitrifi
ed brick crossings on Bloom street.
The crossing at Vine street is complet
ed and the one at Oherry street is well
under way. The brick crossings con
< stitute a fine improvement,which was
I much needed.
MUST WEI
in ROM
There is some cariosity on the part
of the public to learu the exact status
of the old river road now that the
court has set aside the report of the
viewers, who reported in favor of
vacating the road. The natural infer
ence, of course, is that the status of
the old road is precisely as it.was be
fore the proceedings looking to vaca
tion were set on foot.
The latter is, indeed, the proper
view. The old highway is simply an
impassable road, just as it had been
for years when viewers were appoint
ed to consider the question of vaca
tion five years ago.
What the next step in the premises
may be is enigmatical. The attorney
who represented the exceptions yester
day stated that it now devolves upon
the county 1 commissioners to restore
the bridge at the creek's mouth and
upon the borougli council and super
visors of Mahoning township to repair
the road, the former between West
Market street and the borough line
near the creek's moutli and the latter
between that point and the road lead
ing from Northumberland to Dan
ville.
W. Kase West, attorney for Mahon
ing township, yesterday stated that
the old river road would not be re
stored under present conditions,as the
township would be unable to bear the
burden of cost. Mr. West said that a
conservative estimate places the full
cost of opening of the road at some
fifteen thousand dollars.
There are two bridges to be built,
one at the creek's mouth and the oth
er at the D. L. & W. railroad oppos
ite Lover's Leap. The former, alone,
would be built, by the county. A fact
generally lost sight of, the attorney
said, is that the old highway for a
long distance has been washed away
by the inroads of the river, which is
to be regarded purely as an act of God
and that the route originally surveyed
lies in the river bed.
The best that the township could do
in restoring the old highway, Mr.
West said, would be to permit the pub
lic to seek the old road below the riv
er bank, which during low water
might afford a safe means of getting
along,but which during many months
of the year would be impassable.
Mr. W T est was emphatic in his asser
tion that tiie township would be unable
to bear the expense of re-locating the
road, which would mean the purchase
of ground along with the assuming of
other heavy expense. In this connec
tion he took occasion to explain how
unfortunately Mahoning township is
situated. It is a large township, it is
true, but no other township with the
same milage of public roads to main
tain has so much land that yields no
revenue. He cited the hospital farms,
now consolidated into a magnificent
domain cut right out of the heart of
the township, which is exempt from
taxation. Among other tracts exempt
from taxation he cited the poor farm,
the Odd Fellows' and other cemeteries,
all comprising,like the hospital farms,
the best and most valuable laud in the
township. In addition to this, he call
ed attention to the considerable area
of wild and uncultivated land in Mah
oning township embraced by Bald
Top and Moutour ridge. As it is, Mr.
West explained, the citizens of the
township are bearing as heavy a burd
en of taxation as they can carry.
From the above it is plain that con
ditions relating to the old highway
are favorable to the renewal of the
fight and that the destiny of the old
river road is involved In 'much uncer
tainty.
ARRESTED FOR
THROWING STONES
Boys who are in the habit of throw
ing stones at and otherwise annoying
older persons will take warning from
a little atfair which occurred last even
ing—if they are wise.
Joseph Eck, of Walnut street, it
seems, has been a sort of a target for
boys of that part of town, who annoy
him in various ways, especially, by
throwing stones at him as he moveß
about his lot.
Mr. Eck obtained the names of the
boys and last evening had several ar
rested. Tiiey were given a hearing be
fore Justice Dalton, where all the
facts were brought out. Mr. Eck, who
is an aged man and an invalid, it ap
pears, is dreadfully annoyed by the
boys.
The defendants escaped with a
reprimand, however, with the excep
tion of one,regarded as the leader, who
was mulcted in fine and costs.
While Patrick Gallagher, sexton of
St. Gabriel's cemetery, at Hazleton,
was in the cemetery on Monday, at
tending to his duties, he was startled
by a large catamount which climbed a
tree. He quickly procured a gun and
shot it. It measured three feet in
length and is the first one seen in that
section for twenty years.
ENGINEERS
1 IT 11
A corps of engineers are at work
at the hospital for the insane try
ing to solve the difficult problem of
sewage, which up to the present has 1
been permitted to pollute the Susque
hanna river.
The borough of Danville in the past
has fouud much cause for protest in
the pollution of the river, which in
one form or another, constantly goes
on at the hospital, while State Health
Commissioner Dixon.it is uuderstood,
is opposed to the principle of river
pollution and objects as much to the
borough's sewer,which opens into the
river, as to the unsatisfactory meth
ods of disposing of sewage at the
hospital.
The question of sewage has proven
the source of much trouble and an
noyance both to the borough council
and the hospital authorities. The pre
sent survey is the outgrowth of a con
ference between Dr. Dixon and the
trustees of the Danville Hospital,held
at Harrisburg last summer, at which
ii was agreed that a sanitary engineer
of high reputation representing the
trustees and an engineer of the State
board of health should go over the
ground jointly and try to decide upon
some system that would bring full and
permanent relief.
The engineers employed are Al
bright and Nevius of Philadelphia
They have been working at the hoe
pital for the insane for a week or more
past. The only one on the job yester
day was T. J. Riley, a member of the
corps.
A great amount of work is iuvolved
in the survey at the hospital and be
fore the topographical map, on which
the engineers are at work, will be com
pleted cold weather will no doubt be
upon us.
CHA: LKS E7SCOTT
PASSES AWAY
Charles E. Scott, nearly a life-long
resident of Point township, Northum
berland county,who lived on the farm
owned by Dr. I. H. Jennings of tiiis
city, a short distance below Chulasky,
departed this life about 1 o'clock yes
terday morning after a painful siege
of illness.
The deceased was fifty-seven years
of age. He was the sou of the late
Peter Scott. He was born in Colum
bia county, but spent the greater part
of his life in Point township, where
he wns widely known and highly es
teemed for his integrity of character,
his industry and his fine social qual
ities. He was a member of Shiloh Re
formed church, this citv.
He is survived by his wife, two sons,
Walter, of Point township; Bruce, of
Suubury ; four daughters.Rlsie. Mary,
Jennie and Mira, who reside at home.
Four brothers and two sisters also sur

land ; William,of Klinesgiove : Michael
P., of Danville; and Clarence, of Wil
liauisport; Lizzie Scott, of Danville;
and Ella (Mrs. Alfred Harman I of
Catawissa.
The cause of death was heart trou
ble. The last illness of the deceased
dated from July, when he had quite a
serious attack, from which he rallied
later, but did not fully recover. His
condition was very critical during a
couple of weeks preceding death, his
last days of life especially being mark
ed with the most excruciating suffer
ing.
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock
Saturday forenoon from the family
residence on the Northumberland road.
Interment will bo made in Odd Fel

BURNED BY
RED MOT IRON
Rufus Gulliver, Upper Mulberry
street, was painfully burned at the
Heading Iron works yesterday morn
ing.
Mr. Gulliver iiad just delivered a
ball of red hot iron fresh from the
puddler's furnace, at the squeezer, or
"coffee mill" as it is more familiarly
known.
While he was backing the "buggy"
up to the squeezer another workman
came dashing along with a ball of iron
for the oott'eemill. As he swung the
baggy around to get it into the prop
er position for dumping he acci
dentally struck Mr. Gulliver.
The ball of red hot iron came in
contaot with the man's legs, igniting
his clothing and inflicting painful
burns upon his limbs. Others ran to
Mr. Gulliver's assistance, extinguish
ing the fire and rendering what relief
they could.
The man was removed to his home
on Upper Mulberry street, where Dr.
E. A. Curry rendered surgical aid.
The corner stone laying of the new
#IOO,OOO Y. M. C. A. building in
Pottsville took place on Sunday and
was witnessed by a largo'throng of

BAD ACCIDENT
William McVey, driver for the Wel
liver hardware company, fell from an
overhead platform yesterday and sus
tained a broken collar bone and other
injuries of a serious nature.
The accident occurred just before
noon. Mr. McVey had climbed upon
the large platform suspended from ov
erhead on the first floor, on which are
stored implements of various kinds.
While workiug there he got too near
the edge and stepping backward fell
to the floor, a distance of some ten
feet.
He landed oil the hard boards. He
was very painfully hurt, although the
extent of his injuries could not be as
certained by his fellow workmen.
Dr. Patton was called, who found
the young man's injuries to consist of
a fracture of the right shoulder blade,
a scalp wound on the back of the head
and bad bruises and abrasions about
the arms and other parts of the body.
The injured man was removed to the
home of his father, Patrick McVey,
Spruce street, where the fractured bone
was set,and the scalp wound stitched.
Last evening the injured man was
resting comfortably.
FLOBERT BALL
PIERCED WINDOW
Shooting within the borough, al
though limited to flobert rifles, is be
coming a great nuisance. On Tuesday
a ball discharged from one of these
guns penetrated a window on North
umberland street puncturing the glass
and the window curtain. Had anyone
been inside the window at the time
they might have been seriously wound
od.
The flobert rifles are used in killing
sparrows and in target shooting.
Whenever these guns are seen on the
street the police declare that they are
careful to remind the owners of the
restrictions placed upon shooting but
the man, or, as more frequently hap
pens, the boy with the flobert, is very
emphatic in his declaration that he
intends "togo outside the borough
limits."
That the gunners do not always keep
their word is pretty evident, as is
proven by the episode Tuesday, when
the bullet penetrated a window. One if
not more of the shooters will fall into
the hands of the police before long,
when lie will probably be very lucky
if he escapes the payment of five dol
lars, which is the penalty imposed by
the ordinance for wantonly discharg
ing fire arms in the borough.
PUT YOUR HONEY
IN THE BANK
Mrs. H. M. Long, of Blairsville,
came to McKeesport on Saturday
night, says the McKeesport Daily
News, and after depositing #SO in a
local bank,went to a five and ten cent
store to make some purchases, and up
on leaving it discovered that a leather
pocketbook containing a SIOO note. #3
in silver and some valuable papers had
been taken from her hand satchel.
Commenting on her loss the mayor of
the city said : "It would he impossible
if the city hail 1.000 policemen, to
prevent such robberies. In McKeesport
we have seven banks, and all of thorn
are absolutely safe. In the banks is
the place the people should place their
money. The experience of Mrs. Long
should be a warning to others. She
placed a part of her money in the
bank because she wanted to pay a bill
out of the city. With the checking
system depositors can pay bills at
home the same way, and now that ev
ery town is the country is over-run
with crooks and pick-pockets,l would

CRUSADE AGAINST
7-CENT MILK
Bloomsburg is having a real, live
milk war since the dealers got togeth
er and raised the price to seven cents a
quart, which rate went into effect last
Monday. Last night the main streets
of the town were paraded by a good
sized delegation. The feature of the
parade was a cow which was liberal
ly placarded with signs which said :
"I'll give milk for six cents. " Other
signs carried by the paraders ridicul
ed the advance in price.
District Attorney O. A. Small has
announced that he will investigate the
advanced inilk prices, and if he can
discover that the dealers actions have
savored at all of conspiracy in re
straint of trade" he will institute pro
ceedings.
