And the fact that the ground gaining was in favor of the Danville Athletic Association, incor porated.makes it pleasant for the local fans. While it may remain a mystery how Benton managed togo right straight up to the enemy's gates and wrest a 2 to i game from the reddubtable Shipe, yet the fact stands out above all ifs and might have beens. and Danville s gratitude toward the Fishing Creekers will be green when many of the lesser happenings of the season have been forgotten. The deposing of Nescopeck uow leaves Danville and Nanticoke the only rivals for first place. Next Sat urday Danville plays Nescopeck up there; [Shicbshinuv plays at Nanti coke; Berwick plays at Bloomsburg and Alden plays at Beuton. Now dope it o\H for yourself. "Pinkie" Coveleskie, our Premier Polish Puz/ler, again demon-trateel himself to be the master of the parti cular kind of dope balls that will mow down in large numbers members of other teams in the Susquehanna league. The particular bunch that failed to connect on Saturday was the Berwick aggregation,and they fell victims with a large round O, while Danville roll ed up five tallies. It was Ooveleskie's day, which does not imply that the rest of the team was at all derelict. During the nine innings the Pole smiled on but thirty three Berwick batsmen. He struck ; out 8 men and passed 2. Six hits were made off his delivery, one a two bag ger. In addition to his performance on the slab, Ooveleskie drove one of his occasonal two baggers over the right pallitude and made a circus catcii. Coveleskie was ably sustained by Larry Dooley, with the mask. Dool ey's wfiip is in prime order; a cum ber of Berwick runer- tried the stunt of stealing se on'i, but every last man of them was caught in the act Dan ville's fielding all during the game, with the exception ci several small spots, was good. A number of hard and fast chances were accepted. Manager Savage of Berwick had in the box a new man. Loftus, of net yea. who pitched a rattling good game; his support was bad, Berwick totaling six errors, some of wliioh were re- , sponsible for runs. The game opened with Coveleskie striking out the first three men at bat. In Danville's half Clavberger and Thomas scored on Coveleksie's two bagger over the right field fence. In the second two goose eggs were registered. In the third Pett.t's base j on balls, Fedder's sacrifice and Con verv s hit failed to connect the visit ors with any scores. Danville did bet ter,Logan opening with a pretty drive for two sacks and scoriug. The fourth and fifth failed to pro duce anything, but in the sixth with Berwick easily retired, Danville again tallied twice on bits and errors. Thom as got to the firs; station on one of Everett's 3 errors, and Coveleskie > sacrificed iiiTi to second, scoring on ] Dooley's hit to left. Dooley stole sec- j ond and made third on Convery'e er- ! ror. Dooley scored on Lawrence's hit to left. In the seventh Dougher got to first ou Logan's error, but he remained on the first sack while Coveleskie struck ! 1 ont three men in succession. Iu Dan- ; ville's half with two down Clayberger got to first ou Convery's error, but Omlauf ttied out to Metzler, the Ber- , wick center fielder making one of the , most spectacular catches of the game ( of a drive out behind the flag pole. Iu the eighth Coveleskie brought the crowd to its feet with a bare one hand ed catoh of Loftus' hair-raising line drive. The side was an easy out as was also the case in the ninth, despite Metzler's two bagger in the last in nings. | The score : DANVILLE R. H O. A.

JUNE 17. 1909 CM MAKES IIPOUI ORDER A session of court wns held Satnr- | day mornini' with O. O. Evans, presi deuf, and Frank G. Blee and L. W. Welliver, associate judges on the | bench. .Tohn W. Snyder, who served nine months in the county prison, was it?- j leased on a petition of the county com missioners. who represented that the said Snyder was without an estate and that, while he had not paid costs of prosecution nor line, in their opinion he would uever be able to pay. On presentaron of the above petition Sny der was discharged by the court. Before he was permitted togo Judge Evans gave him some practical advice. Snvder who is a cripple, having lost a leg in his boyhood, was found guilty of strikiug his mother. Judge Evans I made his offense the theme of a very effective lecture. He tried to impress upon the man the importance cf keep ing sober and made it plain to him that if he were ever brought before court again it would be folly for him to expect clemency. AFTER INHERITANCE TAX. On the petition of W. L. Sidler,reg ister cf wills in and for Montour coun ty, the court made the following ord er. Now June 12th,1909, the above peti tion presented, read and considered and thereupon the court orders nnd directs that a citation issue to Ellen Coleman Bennett, administratrix of the estate of John R. Bennett, late of the borough of Danville and county of Montour, State of Pennsylvania, de ceased,commanding her to exhibit and file a just inventory and exhibit and file a just account of her administra tion of said estate and further com manding her to appear on the Tth dav of August, 1909, at ten o'clock a. m. ami show cause, if any she has. whv said collateral inheritance tax as re quired by law should not be paid and an order made directing her to pnythe same, to wit The -urn of five per centum on one hundred and thirty thousand dollars together with interest at twelve per centum from tiie «lst day of June,A.

TROLLEY CAR DQWN AN EMBANKMENT Spreading rails caused a trolley car on the Oatawissa end of the Colombia Light and Railways company's road to jump the tracks and run down a small embankment at the aqueduct bridge on Monday afternoon about ' o'clock. Seventeen passengers were in the car and all escaped injury. When t.'ie car got on the top of a curve,just or.tslde the aqueduct bridge, it ieft the track, the rails -preading, aud started down over the embank ment. The motoriur.n bravely stuck to his pest, and applied the brakes. This heroic action on his part saved the car from overturning. There was much excitement among the passengers hut no damage was done.

HIE OF HII The subject of select tig teachers for the ensuing term occupied the atten tion of the school board for over an hour Monday night. It developed that there may be sev eral changes: also that there may be a general alamor for higher salaries, j The board thoroughly thrashed over the ground, but took no definite ac tion on the subjeot in anv of its rela tions, except to decide that the elec tion of ieacherg will take place at the next meeting, Monday, June 28th. The directors have already been call ed upon by a large number of applic ants for positions in the borough schools. On motion of Mr. Pursel it was de cided that all applications for schools must be in the hands of the committee on teachers and certificates by Hp. m., •Tune 21st.

L. & W. railroad of 1c .U interest are contain ed in the following dispatcli from the financial center of New York, which \ra> -ent ont frnuL there Monday ; Important developments are coming in Wabash. The ticker tells the story plainly enough. This is one link of the G>u!d ocean to ocean system cf railr als which fell cf its own over weight in the recent panic. That >ys tem b?ir.g disintegrated. Rumor has insin: . that the Lackawanna will tane the Wabash. It could make good UE*- of it as a trunk line to Chicago and as possessing an important termin al at Pittsburg. What the Wabash needs is, first a deal of new capital and second, a deal ; of new traffic. Lackawanna could help them out in both these particulars Tiie Wabash attempted to push a line ' across the State from Pittsburg. Sur veys were made as far as Union coun ty, nut the project fell through. It is possible that this latest movement on the part of the Lackawanna is a reviv al of the former project. GRAMMAR SCHOOL GRADUATES PICNIC The members of the grammar schod graduating classes of this city attend ed a most delightful outing at De- Witt's park yesterday. There were about fifty members of the three classes present in charge of the teachers, Misses Musselman,Bloom and Gooctall. The whole day was spent at the park and the occasion proved most enjoy able. I Samuel Radfogel was driving a wag | on through the Italian settlement at Sandy Hill, in Norristown, and ran | over a 2-year old boy,•injuring him so j badly that he will probably die. An i infuriated mob attacked the driver and j would have killed him.had it not been j for the timely intervention of M. F. Lawler and his two sons GROUND BROKEN «IN BRIDGE: P. J. Keefer on Monday morning broke ground for the abutments of the sixty-foot iron bridge, which is to be ; erected over Mahoning creek, opposite the Reading Iron works, to be used in conveying cinder from the plant to the southern side of the meadow, where the material will be utilized in filling up along West Mahoning street for the purpose of wideniug that thorough fare. West Mahoning street at a point op posite the new dwellings erected by J. W. Phillips is scarcely more than half the legal width. The street lies on the brink of a declivity,which drops down to the level of Mahoning creek and an enormous amount of filling up will be required. There has been a great deal of agita tion relating to the matter and the borough was obliged to act. An ar rangement lias been made with the Reading Iron company, whereby the latter agrees tolfill up the spot with cinder, provided the borough con structs a suitable bridge. One of the concessions made by the Reading Iron company is that it will permit the borough to use one of its iron bridges spanning the old canal just below the aqueduct. This bridge is sixty feet long and will easily bear the weight of the small locomotive and will prove in every way suitable, reducing the cost of the iiyrovement perceptibly. By accepti.ic the ti-e of tlie bridge all the borough has to do is to con struct the two abutments and bear the cost of moving the bridge, which, it is stipulated,shall not pass out of con trol of the Reading Iron compauy. The abutments are being construct ed of concrete. They will be raised some sixteen feet high to place tiie bridge on a level with the top of the cinder tip. It w ill be a month or six week> before the bridge is completed. THE FROG LAW CONSTITUTIONAL There is an impressiou abroad that fie act of '.903 relat ng to frogs is on constitutional. That this is erroneous is quite evident. A letter received from W. E. Meet - an, commssiouer of fisheries, states that the department has no knowledge of any case under the frog law act of 100:). ever having gitten into court and, therefore, does cot see iiow it could have been !e 1 ireil unconstitu tional. The coimnis. iner n fisheries emphasizes the star :i <■ nt that so fir as the department knows the aot of HHi:j in regard to frogs and terrapin is still in force. Under the act of ' the open season for frogs is frr 1 to Novembf r Ist. EXTENSIONS TO WATER M UN The second of two very important extensions of the borough water sys tem was completed Tuesday. This was the laying of a new four-inch main, one thousand feet in length, on West Mahoning street The latter extension gives the people on West Mahoning street a greatly im proved service. \u additional fire plug is being installed along with the new uia>j, which insures better protection against fire. ANOTHER EXTENSION. Another important extension some seven hundred feet in length wa-isaili l on Northumberland street, the new pipe, four inches :u diameter, arriv ing the water down below the Read ing Iron works A fire ping was in stalled ou tins extension also.

Woolley.general manager of the Danville (t Sunbury Transit company, of this city, is in receipt of a most unique proposition from Spain, in which he is offered ■5160,000 for the performance of a slight favor. The proposition is contained in a letter which Mr. Woolley received re cently and whioli, being given below, is self explanatory. Mr. Woolley is in clined to doubt the sinoerty of the writer, and it is also somewhat of an enigma among those who have seen the epistle a.- to just where "Beliav sky" calculates to make on the^game. Beside Mr. Woolley's at least one other letter of the same kind was re ceived in Danville, this one addressed to James Kelhl, who before his deatii a number of years ago was proprietor of the Moutour house. Also several have been received in Bloomsburg. All the letters are the same and each one contains the clipping. See if you can figure it out. The let ter is dated at Madrid, Spain, and is as follows: MADRID, 23-5-09. Dear Sir Although I know yon only from good references of your hon esty, my sad situation compels me to reveal you an important affair in which you can procure a modest for tune saving at the same time that cf my darling daughter.

The Russian Police, sought for him for a long time in vain, for it seems he had not left the least trace of his flight, and the continued search over Europe and America proved unavail ing. Yesterday, however, a Spanish In spector accompanied by two officer from Scotlaud Yar i and acting under instructions of the Spanish Ambassa dor, who had previously interviewed the Home Secretary arrested him on his way from the Hotel where he was staying to the Steamship office. It seems that it wa< his evident inten ion to take paas-age for New Y'ork. From information received by the Ambassador, he had been in hiding in Spaiu. where he lived with a woman and with his daughter. A few days before arriving in London he had quarreled with another Russian, who was mortally wounded by a revolver shot during the scuffle, and who only lived long enough to denounce his as sailant. In an interview with the Russian Embassador, it seems that the name he had been using in Spain,and which he gave on being arrested was not his real one Mauasseina being simply an alibi, but after comparing the prison er with photographs in his possession, the Russian Ambassador, reoognised him as Beliavsky the criminal banker who eloped with 5 millions of rubles; he is a native of Petersburg, a I widower 48 years old, with an onlv daughter wh he left in Spain 011 es j oaping from that country. On being arrested, two of Manas seina's or Beliavsky's portmanteaus were seized bnt although strictly searched nothing bnt persoual effects | were found in them, in spite of which, 1 the Russian Ambassador declares that | prisoner ought to have several million j rubles somewhere.
