CfINTSfICT RIB j SEIKPLI The contract for preparing and fur nishing plans for a system cf sewer age and a sewage disposal plant as re quired by the State department cf health, was awarded to Charles E. Collins, civil and hydiaulic engineer, of Philadelphia, at a regular meeting | of the borough council Friday night. There -were in all four bidders for the work Robinson & Wagner of j New York; Charles E. Collins of Phil adelphia ; F. M. Metlierill, of Pitts burg. and A. 11. Chalkley Hatton of Wilmington, Delaware. Mr. Mether ill's bid was SI2OO, and Mr. Hatton's *750. The latter's proposition was hardly explicit enough and along with the former bid, which was too high, was given little consideration. Mr. Collins agreed to make all the surveys necessary for making and de signing of a complete system of sanit ary sewers and sewage disposal plant and to prepare and furnish maps.plans, &c., the borough of Danville to fur nish for his use all drawings now on file pertaining to the sewage Byetem. He guaranteed that all plans for the sewerage system and sewage disposal plant shall b3 fully approved by the State department of health and that no payment shall he due for said plans until such approval is 'given in writ ing. All maps, profiles, &c, he pro posed to furnish for tiie sum of s!l7,>. Robinson & Wagner agreed to pre pare all details, plans and specifica tious for sewage disposal plant,includ ing necessary sewer line all complete for £SOO They also proposed to make a map j of the town of Danvilie showiug ex isting sewers and proposed sewers and exten-ions necessary to cover entire town, making proper connection with the sewage disposal plant and showing all grades and profiles together with p. specification and estimate for the sum of #4OO. It is understood that under this pro position they are to use all the exist iug iiata now in the borough's posses sion. -nowing location of sewers, pro posed extensions, &c., and that this work docs not contemplate an entire new sewerage survey of the borough. They undertake the preparation of the plans of the sewage disposal plant as outlined in proposition one and, in addition, will make a complete new sewerage survey of the town showiug all the existing sewers, proposed sew ers, extensions, manholes, lamp posts, grades, profiles, &c., for the sum of ! $2200. Like Mr. Collins they guaranteed ttiat unless these plans are accepted by tiie State Board of Health the borough of Danville shall not be obligated in any financial way. At first sight the bid of Robinson & Wapuer the lowest; but Mr Collius, who was present, explain ed that the State department of health might nor permit the use of tiie exist iug data now iu the borough's posses sion. With thin possibility—however remote —iu view Mr. Collius had fix ed his figure at $075 To provide for this contingency Robinson »ud Wag ner had made a special bid of $2200 I i for a new and complete survey. From i this buuj Mr. Robinson, who was pre- ! \ sent at the meeting, explained was to Iho deducted the S4OO for the map cf the town. Ou the plain proposition of furnishing plans, &c., using data in the possession of tiie borough, Robin son <Nt Wagner were s7"> below Mr. Collins, although above him on the complete new sewerage survey, should one become necessary. ~ After some discussion it was decid ed to award the contract to Mr. Col lins as the lowest bidder. The question of removing the arches ; of red, white and blue electric lights 1 cam.- up for discussion. -After ascerta- I iningail the facts council decided that the lights should be permitted tore main for tiie present, i Mr, Cleaver called attention to the j ' Tact that a great deal of garbage and j other objectionable matter is being | ! dumped over the bank of Mahoning orook, on West Mafioning street.

No one appeared, how ever, to offer objections. A resolution was adopted authorizing the prepara tion of an ordinance for paving. The following members were pres ent: Schatz, Finuigau, Pursel, lies, •Tones, Marshall. Everhart, Counolley and Vou Blohn. After remaining In session for some | time and no one appearing to offer ob jections to paving President Schatz announced that a motion to adjourn was in order. Ou motion of Mr lies council ad journed and immediately weut into session again for the purpose of tran sacting any business that might come before it.

YORKS Mrs. Martha Hull Yorks, an old and nearly lifelong resident of Montour county, died at the family residence, Bloom street, shortly before 12 o'clock Friday night. Death was due to heart trouble and was very sudden. Some years ago the deceased sustained a stroke of paralys is. She never fully regained her health and bodily vigor, although, with a little assist»nce stie got along very well aud frequently appeared on the street. Up to Friday evening slie was in her usual health aud when she re- l tired there was nothing to indicate that death was near. Between 11 and 12 o'clcak she was seized with the fata! attack. The family physician was hastily summoned but when lie arrived she had passed away. The deceased was aged 84 yeais, 7 mouths aud 27 days. She was the wid ow of William Yorks. whose death cc | corred many year* ago. She was horn iu Catawiesa. For a number of years, along with fier husband, she lived ou the Yorks farm, l?loom road. For ov er twenty years she resided iu Dan -1 vilie. She was a woman beloved by all who knew her, in whose life wete exemplified all the Christian virtues. She is survived by one daughter.

Nescopeck by a victory over Benton jumped into the first division over Benton's head. The worst fall was sustained by Shickshinny. losing to Berwick on Friday and to Dauville on Saturday,they fell from third to fourth ; place. Berwick's two wins took the car builders from la-d place to sixth,while ' Bloomsburg ousted the whole bunch and took up her position at the bottom of the list. Back in the championship form of the days before the great drought Dan ville on Saturday took a hard earned victory from Shickshinny at the up ; river town, scoring the two winning runs in ttie eighth and ninth to make a score of 7to 5. It was a most satis factory day for the half a hundred Dauville faus who accompanied the team and rooted tor a win during the entire game Coveleskie on the mound for Dan ville proved effective against the Shickshinny batters. He succeeded in keeping the hits well scattered except in the sixth when they lauded for three two buggers in succession over their near right field fence. Harned also pitched a good game, but was un fortunate in permitting hits to be made when hits meant runs. Kelly,a new player from Shamokin, was in Saturday's lineup, playing iu right field. If his performance on Sat urdav is auy criterion hew ill be one of the mainstays of the batting order in the future, having to his record a thiee bagger, a two bagger and a sin gle Thomas and Hess both played their usual fine game,botii being large ly responsible for Danville's tallying. Mitohe'l, who played left field for Shickshinny,played a good game. Due of his put nuts was a pretty running catch that was loudly applauded; he also had two hits and two runs. Danville opened with Hess walking and stealing second ; Umlauf sacrificed him to third and he Bcored on Thom as' hit, the latter tallying before the end of the innings. Shickshiuug tailed to score uutil the third when they tied, scoring two on two Dauville errors and 2 singles. Danville was soon again in the lead. In the fourth with Umlauf and Met-/, ler on Irtse Kelly caught the ball for * i fast drive over second, which hounded 1 ovir the center fielder's heal and was stietched into turee saoks before it could be returced. both Umlauf and Metzler sccriug. In tie fifth Dauville took more. In the sixth and seventh .Shickshin ny tallieu two and one respectively again tying the score at the end of the seventh at 5 to 5. Ia the eighth Coveleskie crossed the plate for Danville giving the Browns a lead of oiie and iu the ninth the matter was clinched by another tally, j In the last innings Ammernian sin gled. At this time Shickshinny's cap tain was guilty of a most unsportsman like act in refusing the Danville catcher a runner when it was a mem- 1 ber of his own team who spiked Am merman in a previous game in this ; city. Hess, next up for Dauville,drove a grounder to shortstop who tried for a double play but succeeded in catch ing only Aminorman. Hess stole sec ond nnd third, and came home on Cawley's error of Thomas' grounder. Iu Shickshinny's half of the ninth I Danville worked a very prettv double play, Pay ton banged one to Umlauf who threw wide to 'lhomas. On the : next man op Danvile's short stop re deemed himself. Burns, batting for Harned, caught the ball fair sendiug it straight as an arrow about nine feet high over second base Umlauf, who • happened to be near the second sack, quick as a flash bounded into the air ' and palled it down, and then caught t Payton who had started to steal as j Burns hit the ball. | Sweeney umpired fairly for both i sides. There was but one argument j during the game on a technicality. | The score 11« CO. MISSUS a county commissioners have a consit. -able amount of work on their bauds for.he present season, if they ! carry out the recommendations of sev ' eral grand juries that have examined the river bridge and the public build ings during a year or so past. The recommendations relating to the river bridge, especially, involve a good deal of work. The last grand jury recommended that the bolts of the first and>econd spans ou the Dan ville side be examined and properly i adjusted by an expert. An earlier grand jury called attention to the need of paint on the river bridge. That repairs along both of the above ilnes are needed is apparent to every one. Oar grand juries, happily, are thoroughly alive to the fact that the State has given us one of the finest bridges that span the North Branch of the Susquehanna. It remains for the county commissioners to keep the same fact iu sight and avoid any neglect or delay that might jeopardize the stabil ity of the noble structure. Xo one will dispute that it needs paint—that the iron work is undergoing deteriora tiou because of that ueed. That the bolts need readjustment and that tlie bridge must su-taiii damage in its present state is a fact apparent to every person who drives or walks across the structure. THE RETAINING WALL. Tiie grand jury at the last session of court also recommended that the conn ty commissioners build a retaining wall along the river lrout from the abutment oif the west side of the bridge to the retaining wall at the i water works built by the borough. Northumberland county is jointly re sponsible with MOntoor county lor the condition of this tract of ground, which is a part of the bridge proper ty. The erectiou of a retaining wali at this point has been recommended by several successive grand jaries bat the carrying out of the recommenda tions has been delayed by the attitude of the Northumberland county board which opposes the building of the wall. The delay in entering upon this work called forth some strictures from Pres. ident Judge Charles C. Evans at the last session of court. It- is the inten tion of the law, he declared, that the recommendation of grand juries be carried our More recently in a conversation with a representative of the News Judge Kvans declared that lie consid ers the plot owned jointly by the two counties in its present state a menace to public safety and that should an accident occur there the two counties would be liable for damage. Ke said that the only course open for the county commissioner- s for theui to proceed and build the wall The summer is now about halt over, but there is still sufficient time to carry out the recommendations of the grand jury both a- relates to the re taining wall and tiie river bridge but it will be necessary to tut?- upon the work at au early day.

This was decided npou at a joint meeting of the si hool boards of the two above named dis tricts held on Friday night. It is (tie culmination of an agitation set on foot a year or so ago, in which there was a division among the tax payers with attendant controversy, which at times made things interest ing ou the south side. The question was made an issue at the last electiou. The directors favor ing a high school wete elected by a substantial majority. This, it was thought, would settle the matter, but in view of the opposition to be over come the new school board could not see its way clear to proceed at once to establish a high school. The project, it shoultl be remarked, was not aband oned. Time was passing rapidly, however, and fearing that the wishes of the tax payers, so emphatically expressed at the polls, might not be carried out by the school board a citizens' meeting with J. H. Kase president, Biid E. \V. Young secretary, was held in the school house at South Danville on Sat urday evening the 10th inst. ,at which a committee consisting of J. H. Kase and E. W. Young was appointed to visit the department of public instruc tion at Harrisburg to ascertain what obstacles, if any, lay in the way of establishing a joint high school by the township and the borough, The committee visited Harrisburg on Thursday. It did not find Dr. N. C. Schaeffer in his office but from the deputy superintendent of public in struction it received all the informa tion it desired. The department was under the impression that the high school in controversy related to Gear hart township only and made the point blank assertion tnat the district was too weak to maintain a liigli school. This was certainly a surprise to the committee.as the proposition voted on was a joint high school and no other kind was ever contemplated, although it is a fact that in general discussion, even in South Danville people seem to have lost sight of the fact that the high school contemplated was design ed to embrace both the township and the borough. The departments' misapprehension was discovered to be due to the mis carriage of a letter forwarded to Har risburg «: ter a joint meeting ofthe two school boards, in which specific in formation was sought concerning the establishment of a joint hi" school. AH soon as the department oin' stool that tt.e propos rion related t" ;« joint high school it freeh aovo, r j . the establishment of one ks foiu > .: nj to nil requirement* and being u !> , within tie provisions of t'.i ! ■ law. A two years' course was tf.i m ine ided by the department and was adopted Saturday nighl at the joint meeting of the two school boards. The onlv point which admits of any quu?- i tiou at all is whether or not under the 1 opposition a sufficient number of pu pils will attend in order to entitle the district to tlie annual appropriation in i aid of high schools. In this matter the two districts have decided to take the risk. An adjourned meeting of citizens j with fifty present was held Thursday night, at which the committee made a report of its visit to rtarrisburg. Fol lowing, a resolatiou was unanimously adopted requesting the school directors of Oearhart township to mess with the directors of Riverside borough and take action looking to ttie establish ment of a joint high school, thereby carrying out the wishes of the tax payers. FRIDAY NIGHT'S MEETING. Pursuant to this resolution on Fri- i day night the school directors of the township met in the school house at South Danville for the express purpose ;of acting on the high school propos- Ition. By invitation the si hool board of Riverside borough was present. It was moved and seconded that a joint high school be established. In the vote that followed B. F. Landau, John Freeze, O. W. Oearhart and Tohn ; Murphy, Genrhart township, support ed the high school. T. W. Clayton and \V. VY. Gulick, tiie other directors of the towuship, declined to vote. The directois of Riverside borough that I were present—l. C, Yeager. R. B. : Bird, John Wildsmith, and Harvey i Shultz—supported the high school 1 proposition, Thus the measure carri ! ed. The joint high school will be est j ablished in one of the rooms of the | Sonth Danville building formerly oc ; copied by the grammar school. The two grammar schools of the joint dis ; trict will be consolidated and will oc | cupy the room belonging to the gram j mar grade in the Riverside school I building. I John Mnrphy of Gearhart township ESTABLISHED IN 185£.^ MB 01 II FISH DM Parties were at work yesterday on the fish dam installed in the river near the riffles. The services of a horse were brought into requisition which along with the men attracted considerable attention out in mid stream. Conditions for catching eels by fish baskets did not prove very favor able last season audit is doubtful If the persons who installed the dam were paid for their trouble. Last year's walls iu the main still exist and will require but little fixing op so that the fish basket ou the same spot this yenr can be installed with com paratively little cost. FYKE NETS OR EEL POTS. The change made in the fish laws by the Act of May 1, 1909, must be taken into account by all persons who contemplate installing fish baskets, tyke nets or eel pots. Tiie act in question provides that fish baskets maybe used from the loth day of September to the 13th day of November iu each year, both dates in clusive and from four o'clock in tiie afternoon until eight o'clock the fol lowing morning for the capture of e"els. No wing walls of any two bas kets shall be within twenty feet of each other at the upper end or reach from main shore to main shore, or ex tend over more than [three-fourths of the width of the stream or occupy so much of the stream as to prevent the passage of canoes or boats or be con structed of auy'other material than loose stones. The bottoms of fish baskets shall be made of well.'rounded wooden 9lats not more thau two inches wide, so set that theyjshall not be less than three-eishths of an inch apart. The bottoms must be movable for the en tire width of each and every fall and said bottoms or parts of bottoms must be taken out of said falls or so adjust ed as to make it impossible for them to catch fish from eight o'clock in the morning and kept out until 4 in the afternoon. Under the act of May 1, 1909, fyke nets, eel pots or dip nets in streams not inhabited by trout may be used for tiie capture of eels, cattish, suck ers, mnliets and carp—from the lßt day of July until the*3!st day of May of the year next ensuing both dates in clusive. The new law provides that no fyke net or any eel pot shall have any wings attached 'to either of them or be set or fastened to any wing walls or within ten feet of any wing walls or be fet within ten feet of each other and the space between each shall be free from ail oh>rru 'tious for the parage of fish ; or for a-iv fyke net or eel pot to have an entrance into tiie funnel thereof of more t 1 ■ ?i six inches or wirii an ouisid • d ..»•;,»»'t*r of th* mouth of IUOIV thai lb r I inches; nor shall any such n rs be fastened or used fr'jm Saturda) Mian u'jtil Mon day morning at ii o'clock ti the week next ensuing. Each fyke net or eel pot must have fastened thereon a metal tag bearing the name aud residence of the owner. DUST NUISANCb ON SOUTH SIDE Owius to the protracted drought the dust at many plaoes is becoming an insufferable nuisance. Nowhere is this condition more in evidence than on the bridge approach at South Dan ville,where all the roads leading from the expansive ana on the south side of the river converge aud under the en ormous traffio the dust is deeper than is found anywhere else. Earlier iu the season someone sug gested the advisability cI applying crude petroleum as a means of effec tively putting an end to the dust nuis ance. Nothing seemed to grow cut of it, however, and iu the coutiuued ab sence of rain the conditions are as above described. It might be interesting to learn that iu many other localities where tiie dust is a nuisance the oil remedy is being applied with excelleut results. In one of the streets of Williatusport crude oil was applied Tuesday by I sprinkling. The dust was six inches 1 deep but the oil formed a coating ou I the surface that kept the powdered earth from flying. A slight dust yes terday rose from the feet of the but none from the wheels of vehicles. Many questionable causes are ap pealing for public support. s anil R. B. Bird of Riverside borough i were selected as members of the 'high I echool board" to transact business pertaining to the joint high school. On Friday night primary teachers ' were elected : Miss Blanche Campbell j for the school at South Danville and Miss Rita Onlick of Rushtown. for | the school at Kipp's run. The high school teacher has not as yet been j elected.
