With its "Big Stick' working with :
the precision'and accuracy .'of a latest
improved model trip hammer Danville
on Saturday succeeded in drawing a
game with Shickshinny after the team, j
tne umpires, Dame Fortune and all the
; other fetishes of base'ball had <ombin- !
'ed in a conspiracyjto hand the game !
to the visitors on a silver platter.
' The game was a hair raiser—the
most exciting that lias been played on
the home gronads in'many a day, and
in voicing'jtlieir agitation the faus
rooted with such power that the few
people left Mill street stop
1 ped to listen to the yelling. The in
flamed climax was reached ia Dan
ville's lasr'half,'of the ninth when the
locals came to the bat four runs ill the
rear, and made two singles and two
doubles count the coveted tallies, tie -
ing rite score, and leaving the game a
draw because Shickshinny's train was
nearly due.
Danville'played exemplary base ball
for the fkst five innings, allowing the j
visitors nix. Ooveleskie smiled on
but sixteen men during the first five, i
allowing three hits and recording
three strikeouts—thejmeu behind were j
on the juuip and nothing was too
hard. Thea the sixth. With one man
out Mitchei, Butz and Cowley each ;
cracked long drives into center the
three of them scoring before Danville
finished tossing the bali around the
grounds. Incoming home Cowley j
spiked Catcher Ammerman, putting
the nervy little Danville piaver out of
the game, and causing a shake up in
the team to fill his place. Coveleskie
went out in the grass, and McOloud '
took the mound. Mackert took first and
Thomas put on the mask. It didn't
look very good,but it was the best that
could be- done with no subs on the !
bench. Anyway it stoppe 1 the scoring
for that innings.
With the foretaste of victory Si.icU
shinny would have no more goose tygs
frapee and iu the seventh combined a
single, a p»ss and an error to ;ally
once, la the eighth tiiey again girded
oil their armor. Butz went out by the
shortstop to first base route; Cowley
got four bai.s and stole se"ocd ; Booth
got in the way of one cf Honey's
carves and took his base; Williams hit
! to right and Cowley and Booth scored,
the latter oa a blocked ball. Here Mi
1 Cloud was relieved and Brown took
the platform, Honey going to center
field. Laird hit to right and scored
i Williams, before the side was retired.
Again iu the ninth Shickshiauy scor
j ed three.
Five of Danville's ruts were ma-ie
iu the first three innings, good heavy
eti' k work being responsible for most
of the locals tallying. Agniu iu the
sixth Danville tallied once.
In t is ninth tiie crowd w;>s begin
ning to flock toward the gates despair
ing of Danville's overcoming Shirk -
shinny's lead, whea Clayberger took a
pretty single through short stop:
Thomas, old reliable, pounded one in

assume an nteresling aspect when
Covele<-kie came to bat, but the best
Pinkey could do was to pop one up to

ALL DOING TiriE
There are but three prisoners in the
county jail at present and these are
all doing time. Only a short time has
elapsed since there was a full house at
Fort Williams. The rapid falliua oft
of "boarders'' illustrates how periods
of good ordi-r anil obedience to law are
apt to succeed waves of lawlessness
that roll over the land. It has been a
long time Einee there was so little do
;ug in the justices' offices or. what is
equivalent, that »o few offenders in a
given period have been bound over for
court.
Removing Pillars.
The proprietors of opera house block
are making alterations in the front of

BOTH DPPWK
WITHDRAWN
j Tlie session of court held Saturday j
I for the purpose of considering the
i matter of license transfer was brought j
! unexpectedly to a close during the I
' forenoon by the withdrawing of both
I applications. As explained in a pre
vious issue Michael Reilly desired
that the liquor license at' No. 610 Mill
street, be transferred to him from
! Patrick McCaffrey, who has been do
ing business at that stand for some ,
' years past. The other application ask
'ed that the liquor license at No. 15
i Northumberland street be transferred t
from William Dougherty to Patrick
McCaffrey. In each case a remonst
rance was filed.
j The proceeding* were of unusual in
! terest by reasou of the array of legal
taleut called into the cases. Repre- |
I seating the petitioners were Hon. |
j Grant Herring of Sunbury, Hon. John
! M. Garrnan of Wilkes-Barra ; Thomas
|C. Welsh and W. L. Sidler of this
; city. Offsetting these as attorney for
the remonstrances was Hon. H. M.
| Hinckley, of this city. 'fever before
i had such an array of la' at been call
!ed into play by their re matter of
j license transfer. Th presence of the
giants was suggestiv and in6t;uctive
i ly all seemed to fie' »hat a battle roy
al was pending.
I Scarcely had the proceeding- began
I when the clash occurred. The first
witness was on the stand when Mr.
Hinckley on cross-examination began
to a>k some pointed questions that
I aimed to disprove that the applicant
was in all respects such a person that
should be entrusted with a liquor li
! cense.
Mr. Herring at once objected, Hie j
remonstrauce, lie said, raised a ques
tion only as to the applicant's general
| character aud offered no specific ob
jections to granting him a license. He
urged that all specific testimony be
rejected in the hearing, it was gross
ly atrust, he declared, that a man
should in this way bo called into court
aud made to answer a specific charge
without being notified of it and thus
being enabled to prepare a defense. He
insisted that only the general speech
of tl»e people could be considered. All
this he declared was in strict accord
ance with the rule of court, which Mr.
Hinckley had assisted to draft.
Mr. Herring was followed by Hon.
John M. Garman, who went into the
matter very deeply. Both speakers field
that the procedings asking for a trans
fer were identical with those asking
for a granting of license and that the
rules adopted for the latter must apply
in the former.
M r . Hinckley contended that a diff
erence exists between an application
for aud a transfer of license, in that
in t ; ie former the applications arc ad
vertised and tlie public is well inform
ed on what is going oil, whereas iu
the matter of trausfers there is no pub
liciry and it is only as tlie facts are
accidentally learned that the public
! comes to know anything of them until
the transfer oi license is actually
msd". He held that the rules relat
ing to tlie granting cf license do not
apply aud that any ev.deuce that
would "enlighten tiie "onseien.e of
the '-onrt" in the matter at issue wa«
wholly admissible.
Mr. Herring made a formal objec
tion and demanded that the whole
couit pass upon the question. There
was a consultation between Judge
Evans ami Associates Blee and Wel
liver. after which the president judge
annum t'i that ttie associates concur
red with him ia overrnliig Mr. Her
ring's objections.
In quick succession Wait, r O. Green.
J. W. Wallize, Thompson Jenkins,
Richard Sheppard and Arthur Butler
testified,giving the applicant, Michael
Reilly, an excellent reputation for
good moral character, temperate hab
its, etc.
APPLICATIONS WITHDRAYVN.
The first witness called by tiie re
monstrance was William Toohig. Mr
Herring at once asked to be informed
on what Mr. Hinckley aimed to prove.
Being apprised that it had to do with
specific charges Mr. Herring formally
objected to the evidence urginc the
same reasons that he advanced in the
former objection.
He again insisted that the entire
court pass upon the question. The re
sult wus the same as in tiie former
| case ; the associates sustained the presi
\ dent- judge.
At this juncture the attorneys with
! drew to the consulting room. In a few
minutes they returned;when Mr. Her
ring created surprise by announcing
that they would withdraw both ap
j plications.
Judge Evans briefly announced that
i they would be accorded the privilege
!of withdrawing both applications for
! transfer and the session of court, which ;
I promised to be suoh a long and hotly-j
contested one, came summarily to a
i close in a little more than an hour af
| ter it began.

| John Kase, who was elerted teacher
of science and mathematics of the
Danville high school at the previous I
I meeting tendered his resignation as a
! member of the faculty at a regular
meeting of the school board Monday.
I On motion Mr. Kase's resignation
was accepted aud the matter of supply- j
ing the vacancy was left in the hands
: of the committee on teachers and cer- i
tificates.
In tendering his resignation Mr.
took occasion to thank the school
board for the interest it had taken in
him and its kindness toward him dur- j
ing the last, two years. He said he
appreciated the honor of the election
for the third term. He explained,how- j
ever, that he thought it would be bet- j
. ter far him not to accept.
It developed during the discussion
which followed that applicants for
suoh positions as the one to be filled |
in the high school are plentiful enough,
although it is pretty apparent ac- I
cording to the view taken by the board
that a higher salary will have to be
paid.
On motion of Mr. Fischer it was
ordered that a joint meeting of teach
ers and directors for the purpose of
considering the question of text books ,
be held in connection with the next
regular meeting of the board on Joly i

Among the local dealers there were ]
only two bidders for the contract, j

SIX SELF-BINDERS
111 ONE FIELD
j S. W. Deibert, the unfortunate ten- !
ant on the Mettler farm, Gearhart
[ township, who was the victim of a
fire on July 3rd, dropped into this
office yesterday for the pnrpcse of ex
! pressing through these columns Ms
I heartfelt tlihnks for the generous treat
, meut that he has received from neigh
bors and others.
In addition to a portion of his crop
of hay, which had been marie and
hanled into the barn before the fire,
Mr. Deibert lost with the building his
self-binder and practically all his
farming implements, his IOFS in all
footing up nearly a thousand dollars
aud being uncovered with insurance,
j Mr. Deibert's hard luck aroused gen- i
i eral and wide-spread sympathy. At
j the date of the fire nor only was his
J grass ready to cut, but his crop of
wheat was about ripe. On last Satur
j day in order to help him out with his
harvest the farmers of the countryside
turned oat aud, without any cost to
him, cut and shocked twenty-four
acres of wheat.
In all there were six selt-binders fol
lowing in succession around the field,
the spectacle presented being a novel
, and picturesque one for this section.
Along with the half dozen binders
eleven men were employed in gather
ing the sheaves and placing them in
shocks. The job was a record one, the
twenty-four acres of wheat being cut
and shocked in less than four hours'
time.
But for the generous assistance ren
dered the unfortunate tenant would
have been unable to cot his harvest
without such a loss of time as would
have led to waste of grain. His full
gratitude in the premises will be ap
preciated by the farmers who came to
his rescue.

PASTOR IBS
jpii
! The Rev. Lloyd W. Walter, pastor
iof the Pine Street Lutheran church
has accepted a call to the Trinity
Evangelical chnrch at Kittanning,
Armstrong comity, and expects to en
er upon his new pastorate Augost Ist.
Mr. Walter has tendered his resigna
tion to the church council. Although
notion has not as yet been taken there
seems little doubt hut that his wishes
will be taken into consideration aud
that his resignation will be accepted.
It will go into effect on July 26th.
Kittanning is a town of abont nine
thousand inhabitants. The church to
which Mr, Walter has been called is a
mission, ouly lately organized. The
i field is a fruitful one.in which all the
conditions favor rapid growth and de
velopment in a religious body. All
that is needed is a full measure of
religious zeal and properly directed
effort—essentials that will be beyond
a doubt supplied by the Bev. Mr. Wal
er. The best wishes not only of the
congregation of the Pine Street Luth
eran church but also of his many
friends, regardless of creed, accom
pany him into his new field.
Mr. Walter entered upon the pastor
ate of Pine Street on
June 1, li'o6. During the three yearß
that he has been in Danville his work
iias been uniformly acceptable. He has
brought iuro the niiuistry in addition
to a sound education, ample talent, a
devout nature and all those qualities
ot heart and intellect that goto make
up a loved and successful minister of
the gospel.
It is gratifying to state that Pine
! Street Lutheran church has flourished
duing his pastorate and that its record
is one that all to with pard
onable pride.
During a conversation last evening
Mr. Walter took occasion to remark
that it is with the greatest reluctance
that he leaves the present field, where
he has been accorded such 'good sup
port and where his experiences have
been BO useful and agreeable,equiping
him for his life work in the ministry.
