With both Danville aud Nanticoke ■vinning ;n Saturday's game the tace Tor the leadership in the Susquehanna leayut'Jreuiains unchanged. Nanticoke is three'gaines.to the'good at present reading. On August 14 Danville piavs Nanticoke in tnis city, and should the locals take that game Xanticoke would be but one game ahead. Danville has at least two games to play off. with Shukshluny and'Aldeu, both of which should be victories. Danville s sche dule for the remainder of the season is not a hard one, so Xantiooke hasn't exactly got the rag iiaited to their flag pole yet. Shlckshinny's win anil Neecopeck's defeat shifted these two teams, the latter dropping to fourth place and the former taking third. Alden after a brief rest from its jolt of bparing the weight of the rest- of the teams has again dropped to last place, and Bloouuburg andJßerwick are tied for second— end. Of course any game that the locals win is a good one but in Saturday's coutest Alden did not even put- up enough of a battle to make that kind of a game interesting. None of the thrills that accompany a game iu which the locals are at times iu dau ger of losiug were felt by the large crowd of fans and fanesses, and eveu when Alden wouid hit and score the performance was welcomed with en thusiasm as adding variety with no thought that the final outcome could be anything else than a Danville vic tory. Ooveleksie pitched for Danville and was never in better form. Iu the first two innings he struck out live men. After that he allowed them to hit ex cept when they had men on base, when he would hold them down to ineffectu al puuks. He tiad them completely at his mercy. For Alden Smith and Gotham alter nated in stie. box, contrary to rule,hut the point was uncontested by Dan ville, as neither of the visiting twirl ers could keep Danville from iiitting at will. Danville's scora could .ius-t as easily have been double ?. Daaville had five two bagger?, two being to the credit of Maukert. Covs- Ic-sfcie drove one over the left field fence and also bad a two base hit Every man on the team but two hit the ball and the entire team figures .n the run getting column. Danville's error 'Olßinn shows up badly. Among the fans one is in dispute. The play occurred in the sixth innings when Gorham i.it to Coveleßkle with Phillips on lirst Pinkie threw to second to cat off Phil lips and try for a double The throw was low and the disputed point lies in whether the throw was too low or whether it was placed so that Lever good should have gotten it. The error was originally given to Covelesfiie, bet iu any event Piufcey, a minute later, caught the same man napping off second. Danville put the game on ice with three tallies in the first innings. Pour more in the secoud, then two. and#so on until the fourteen v. ere emassed. Alden scored in the third. To Smith, first up, Ooveleskie issued his only pass; Olshefskie singled to left; Berg en reached first on Umlaut's error, fillinu' the bases. Higgins drove a grounder to Umlauf who threw wild to tie) pl u- owing Smith to score.

JULY 29, 1909 Lion LICK TRANSFERRED A short session of court was held Saturday at which a liqaor license ou North Mil! street was transferred from Patrick McCaffrey to Peter Treas. A feature of the proceedings was an au onvmous letter addressed to the court, which evoked from Judge Evans some strictures relating to the writers of auonymous letters in general. Ralph Kisner represented the peti tioner. J. C. Poifer, Peter MoCann, Lawrence Oounollcy, Patrick Finley, and John Crilley, in succession were called to the stand and testified as to the applicant's integrity, sobriety and general good character. Hon. H. M. Hinckley, who repre sented the remonstrance against the traui-fer of license at that stand two weeks before, informed Che court that fie had reason to believe that the pro. ceedings were a "blind" and tnnt the party wlio would realh he in charge of the saloou wa> altogether another person. He therefore asked the right to cross examine the witneses. There being no remoustrance in this case cress examination was objected to by Mr Kisner. In discussing the ques tion the court took occasion to remark that the transferring of license had be come an intolerable nuisance. Mr. Hinckley was permitted to crosj ex amine. Peter Treas. the applicant, was pat upon tfie stand. He is thirty-eight years old and at present has employ ment as plumber's helper at the hos pital for the insane. His mother owns the building at which the transfer of license is sought. He assured the court that if granted the license lie would conduct the saloon himself, and that there would be no evasion about it At this juncture Attorney Ralph Kisner assured the caurt that he had investigated the matter fully and that he felt convinced that the applicant was sincere. He went on record as stating that if at any tltn? he discov ered that Peter Treas was not in actu al charge he would be the first one to move for the revocation of the licence. It Wbs at this juncture that Juuge Evans alluded to the anonymous let ter, which he said could be very prop erlv read after Mr. Kisner s remarks. He presented the letter merely for what it was worth —not because any importance is to be attached to an an onymous communication. He char acterized the writer of an anonymous letter as a moral coward. Tiie letter purported to be written by a woman and si e gave fear of bodi ly harm as tfie reason for withholding her name. The letter alleged shame ful violation of the law and begged the court not to make the transfer. It declared in effect that the whole pro ceeding *a- a blind—that the applic ant was to continue ou in his present position and that another—who had boasted he would "pull the wool over the eves of the court"—would be rhe p« rscn in charge. Peter Treae, the applicant, made a favorable impression. Tie court took him at his word. The transfer of li cense was granted with the strict tie derstanding that the applicant be actu ary in charge. BIG EXCURSION TO EAGLESMEkE One hundred and five of onr towns people jester lay joined the P. & R. excursion to Eaglesmere.

For the dance Miles and Fonlk's or chestra of Eve pieces will be employ ed. To help the dancing aloug it was decided to employ a man as floor man ager and another to 'call off." It was reported at the meeting that alt the men—,-ome half a dozen—who were employed a> gatemen lust year had indicated their willingness to serve again at the coming onting. The gate men will l>a sworn in as last year and empowered to make arrests, should there he any disorder. Radges will be procured for tlie:n Ribbons fnr the officers and committeemen will also be provided. In anticipation of an enormous torn out it was decided t > order five thou sand ticket? or tags, which s more than double the number that was used last year. The color selected for the tavs this year is yellow in order that they may be distinguished from those of the last tinting, which w re green. AH last year a general invitation will be extended to the public. It seemed to be t le sense of t'.e members of the association present that it would contribute much tot e sue ess of the Trl-Uounty picnic, if the stores ol Danville were closed during the after noon of August llUli, It was decided, however, to make no .-ach a request of the merchants, leaving it entirely to their own pleasure whether they shall close or not. On motion it was decided that the practice of formfr years be followed ami that all tins county officers includ ing the president and associate judge: of the three counties be invited. Benjamin L.

CLOGGED DIM IN CAUSES OVERFLOW Workmen yesterday were engaged in opening a drain at East Mahoning street at the intersection of Ferry street. The drain for some time past has been clogged by au aronmulation of earth, which has caused an over flow in front of the manse of the Mah ouing Presbyterian church. In times of heavy rain the water flco ied the sidewalk. There is an accumulation of dirt on the roa .way, which becomes a great- nui-aace either in the form o! mud or dust. Conditions wonld be vastly improved at that point if the street were (craped and « course of limestone were applied. NEW BRIDGE MUST BE BUILT Due to the accident which occurred at ttie bridge in Anthony township Saturday when Rowman Moudan H steam thresher broke through and went into the ,-reek Montour county willba under the necessity of buildiug anoth er bridge raising the njtnbpr of coun ty bridges constructed this summer up to four. The bridge in question is a total wreck. It is found that it was by no means as safe as it appeared to be, the foundation being insecure and the woodwork badly worm eaten. The en gine notwithstanding its fall into the oreek sustained little or no injury. JIT BUG 1H D A joint meeting of teachers, direct ' ors ami borough superintendent wan held Monday eve to consider theadop | tion ot text boobs an required by law. 1 Some twenty teachers were present with the school board. The principal change considered related to the sub ject of penmanship For some time past there has beer, n sentiment in ! Danville in favor of a ohange from tiie vertical system, which of late has i been employed in the schools with the exception of the commercial depart ment. Borough Superintendent Dieffen oacher in dwelling upon the object of j the meeting stated that the school board had decided on a change of pen manship from the vertical system to some other system preferably a modifi ed slant system. The teachers had been asked to ex amine the different systems of copy boohs and it now remained for them, lie said, to express their views as to the relative merits of the same.

Hatrisbarg. fa., July 2S.— Chief Factory Inspector Delauey has been notified by roun>el for the Pittsburg Filament Company tiiat it will ask for an injunction to restrain him trom en forcing tlia act regulating moving ] picture theatres. Suit will be brought to have tiie act declared unconstitu tional. Thirty-live Pittsburg policemen were arraigned before the police trial board fur absence from their tricks while on i duty and thirty were lined. Ford Douglass.a negro, was dismissed. The trials were the result of several trips i made by Assistant Superintendent Ed- I ward Rennelly to tiie several police districts during the night. STEEL Flf POU i HIM The steel flag pole presented along with a handsome flag oy Frank E. De- Lang was raised iu Memorial park Tuesday. Next in order is the flag rais j ing, for which no arrangements hare as yet been made. The pole was raised by Peter J, Keefer, who brought all liis resources and ingenuity into play with such ad mirable effect tiiat what was dreaded as a difficult and hazardous operation attended with heavy outlay of money was a-coraplished without a hitch in an incredibly short time at a total cost of less than twenty-tire dollars. The raising of the big pole was un attended with any spectacular feat ures. On Monday noon two men were put to work digging the bole for the pole. The excavation was five feet deep and four and a half feet in diameter. By noon Tuesday not only was the hole completed but the pole had been ; braced in it and raised to a vertical I position. Nothing remained but to place the concrete around the base. The pole was very easily raised. The lower end was placed iu the hole dug to receivs it and by means of rope and tackle fastened to a tripod it was rain ed to an angle of about 25 degrees. At this . ancture more rope and tackle were brought into play,connection be iug established between the large tree near the Araesbury residence and the steel pole, the chain being attached near the top. To assist in raising tiie pole Mr. Keefer called about a dozen meu up from HetulocU street,where they were woiking on a sewer. These together with the couple already at the park too.i hold of t:>e long rope; assisted by others who had assembled as spectat ors they soon had the pole pulled into an upright posit.on. Arncng those on the -pot while the poll" was being raised were Frank G. Scbooh, of the soldiers' monument committee ami. Councilman John Mar shall cf the committee on publio im provements, both of whom rendered valuable assistance. Among otiiers who lent a willing baud were Councilmcu James Finnigan and James Connolley. Mr. Keefer Tuesday stated that it would require a day or so to finish the concrete work, after which it would probably require a couple of day> ad ditional for the concrete to set. By Saturday, he thorght, all would be ready for the Sag raising. UNFURLING THE FLAG. t-o far as known no arrangements have been made for a demonstration when Ine ting is unfurled.

He also establishe i a reputation for himself during later tjoublesome times in the coal regions. Thought Dead—Revived. There is a strauge incident iu con ! nection with the death of Justice cf ' the Peace W. H. Barwiok, of Cata wissa.

Tbe extension of the two systems takes iu Hemlock street between Mill and Ferry streets, the water pipe ly ing on the southern side of the drive way and the sewer on the northern side. This section of Hemlock street was badly in need of water and the extension was not made too soon. The Saving of tiie sewer was equally es sential,as several cf tiie property own ers desire to connect in order to obtain cellar drainage Sewer extensions this year have al ready been made on several different streets, while further exteusious are contemplated. It will not be long un til the system will cover the entire town. If tiie present trend ba taken as a criterion it will not be many veais until every house will be connected with a sewer, changing tiie aspect of the town considerably aud bringing about more pleasant and sanatory con j dittons. j ENTERTAINED AT GROVANIA A party of from this city aud nearby scent yesterday at the homo cf George Mowrey at Grovauia.
