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.
Davis popp" "nt to Hess; Phillips
drove one into left, Olshefskie soring
aDd Rergen getting out st the plate on
Mackert's throw hom r> A number of
times Alden had men • n base, but aft

lying.

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.

at the court tionse Saturday night, at
which the arrangements for tiie fifth
annual outiug were practically com
pleted
On motion it was decided to employ
tlie Catawissa band, which will be on

about it o'clock in the morning and re
maining until between and *i o'clock
in the evening.
For the dance Miles and Fonlk's or

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

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.

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.

IMPORTANT SEWER
EXTENSION
The borough has nr.df ar. extension
of both the water aud t::e sewer sys
terns oa Hemlock street. The water
pips »a- iaid a couj.lu of weeks anc.
The work ou the sewer Is just about
completed at vresent.
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.
