CHANGES IN
BLOCK SYSTEM
The linal step in the changes made i
by the Pennsylvania Railroad company t
in the block systsui on the south side j
took place Saturday morning, wiieu j
the telegraph instruments were remov- |
ed from the staiiou, tiie wires taken j
out aud these, along with the sema- |
phone, were transferred to the new
tower built a mile and a half below
the station near the farm of Amos
Wohlforth.
This change in the block system has
been under contemplation for a long
time. The tower occupied for thetirst
Saturday was built last summer. It
is believed that many advantages will
accrue from the change. The block
formerly ended at the station, which
necessitated the presence of the op
erators in the depot, which building
in the opinion of the officials should
be devoted wholly to the transaction
of business relating to freight and
passenger traffic. At times there was
quite a congestion when the freight
awaiting orders occupied the
platform or waiting room along with
persons who had come to take a train.
\uother inconvenience that will be
obviated is the detention of passenger
trams above the orossiug, which oc
curred when the signals were so set as
to indicate that a train was on the
block. Hereafter regardless of wheth
er the next block is clear or not, the
train can come directly into the sta
tion aud there will be no necessity of
making two stops.
The telegraph operators will enjoy
many advantages by the change, the
one unpleasant feature being probably
the additional walk entailed.
The day of 24 hours is divided into
three tricks at the tower, Edward
Burger is on duty from 7 a. m to 3 p.
in. ; Alviu Boyer from 3 p. m.to 11 p.
in., and Bruce MoOracken from 11 P.
iu. to 7 a. m.
Some chatigos will be made iu the
station, now that the operators have
been transferred to the tower. The
eleik's desk will hereafter occupy the
bay window where the telegraph in
struments formerly were. In adddi
tioii, there will be a general moving
aroan I of the furniture in order to se
cure all the room available for the
other departments. The station will
present altogether a different appear
ance, especially, after traiu time, at
uight, when It will be locked up.
Take Notice.

M'COLLUM
CHOSEN PRESIDENT,
W. IJ. McCollum, sporting editor of i
the Wilkes Barre Record Sunday was j
elected presideut of the Susquehanna 1
base ball league to sacceed Fred A. j
Steiber, of Bloomsburg, whose resig- J
nation, accepted at the last meeting |
of the managers, went into eflect on j
Saturday.
A meeting was held at the Central
hotel, Bloomsburg, yesterday after- 1
noon, the following assoclatons being
represeuted by their managers : Dan- I
ville, Hoffman; Benton, McHenry:
Bloomsburg, Titel; Berwick, Savage;
Nescopeck, Patterson; Shickshinny, ,
Oolley. In the absence of Manager
Hess, Nanticoke was represented by
,T. O. McHenry. Alden was the only
association not represeuted.
McOULLUM PRESIDENT.
The principal object of the meeting
was to elect a president of the Susque
hanna league tooucceed Fred A. Steib
er, who owing to presure of business
engagements tendered his rssignation
early in .luly. The managers iusiiuc
lively turned to W. L. McCullum as a
man eminently qualified to act as presi
dent of the league. He was elected
without any opposition.
Yerrick. of Danville, formerly sub
stitute umpire, was chosen as a reg
ular league umpire to till a vacancy
I that had ocourred.
PRESIDENT STEIBER SUSTAINED
A resolution was adopted sustaining
i President Steiber in his recent decis-
I ion which gave the game to Nanticoke
! that was protested by Danville earlier
in the season. All of the uiauagers,
with the exception of Hoffman, sup
j ported the resolution.
THE PROPOSITION FAILED.
1 .lust before adjourning Manager
j Titil, of Bloomsburg, advanced a jro
j position to the effect that the series of
games scheduled for the season end
with last Saturday aud that a new
series be started. This, of course,
would leave Nanticoke winner of the
first series cf games. The teams wouliT
all start anew, on the same footing.
The winner of the sucondseries.it was
proposed, should play off with Nanti
coke at the close of the season.
It was claimed that by starting a
new series of games all the clubs of
the league would have the same iu
| ducemeut to play good ball anil inter
est would be created anew.
At th's juncture President Sieiber
reported that he had learned author
itatively that it was Danville's inten
tion, if Manager Tltel's proposition
was carried into effect, to institute au
j action iu equity. Foreseeing compli
cations ahead the league after some
i discussion decided to abandon the idea
j of beginning a new series of games.
j Cured May Fever & Summer Cold
! A. S. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana,
j writes:" Last year I suffered for three
i months with a summer cold so distress
i iug that it interfeted with m.v busi
! Hess. I had uiauy of tho symptoms of
j hay f'aver, aud n doctor's prescript on

FINED FOR
SWEARING
|
Two arrests were made in Derry I
township last Friday onder the "blue .
laws" of 1794, charging the accused 1
with using profane language. Iu both j
cases tiie defendants were required to J
pay a flue of (u cents for each oath.
The information was made before j
Justice of the Peace W. V. Oglesby, j
of this city by Matthew L. Sheep, of |
Derry township on July 27th. The de- |
fendants in the case were Frank Ort
man and John Ort man, father and son. \
Frank Ortman was a former tenant
of Mr. Sheep and the differences which <
provoked the alleged profane language i
took place while the defendant was j
harvesting the wiieat crop on the j
plaintiff's farm.
Frank Ortmau was charged in the
information with having uttered five ,
profane oaths and the son six. In ad
dition, Frank Ortman was charged
I witii assault and battery, the allega
| tiou being that lie had "grabbed" the
j complainant.
j The hearing was held before Justice
| Oglesby Friday nigiit. 'i'ne tine for
profane swearing is sixty seven cents
for each oath, which the defendants
paid along with the costs. On the as
sault and battery charge Frank Ort
man was held for court under two
hundred dollars bail.
It is only at rare intervals that the
blue laws are invoked in this day ow
ing to the great changes affecting
customs and sentiment that have tak
en place since their enactment 115
years ago. They may still be success
fully invoked, however, in prcsecu
, tiou fur violating the Sabbath as well
j as for the use of profane language.
'BOVS THREW STONBS
AT TMfc: SINGERS
The Orpheus Glee club, which gave
! a concert on the river Friday night,
j complains very bitterly of the treat
i meut it received at the hands (if some
j boys on the bridge, who amused them
selves by throwing stones ut ttie flat
! boat containing the singers
During the latter part- of the con
! cert the members of the club were
' greatly annoyed. The stones wpic fa! I -
j ing into the water all around them and
I tiually two of the singers were hit.
Owing to the throwing of stones the
I club was obliged to discontinue the
1 concert at an eailier hour than was
| Intended.
! It is iudeed a serious reflection that
a band of singers such as the club in
question should be subjected to iu
dignities such as described while sing
ing free of cost for the benetit of the
public. Every effort should be made
to discover the offenders and speedily
bring them to joatice.

for the transfer of liquor lioeuse at

begun two weeks previously, w hen ttie
application was withdrawn, but for
Judge Evans' absence,would have been
carried through to a finish.
