Sidler, Esq., was elect- ! ed Monday night school director of the j first ward to succeed Dr. I. (r. Bar- ' her, whose resignation was accepted ! at the previous meeting. The matter came up for the first j thing after convening. Mr. Swarts j nominated William 1.. Sidler as di- j rector to fill the vacancy existing. A * vote was taken, Mr. Sidler receiving the'unanimous support of the board. He was accordingly declared elected. He later appeared and after taking the oath of office took the vacant seat in i the board. Dr. Shultz reported that he was hav ing a sample of Crystal water analyz ed in the State laboratory. Mr. Burns reported that there is a great deal of diphtheria in the second ward; also one case of scarlet fever. He contended that the rules and regul ations controlling intercourse with in fected families are by no means rigid , enough. He cited instances in which children of neighbors have been ob- j served to enter infected houses at plea- i sure; also instances in which children . of infected houses have been known to enter other houses where disease does not exist. The matter was discussed at length, it being the consensus of opinion that the board of health should take hold of the matter and see to it that rules of quarantine at stablished snfflci- i ently rigid to prevent unnecessary spread of disease. Mr. Fischer reported adversely on the proposition to remove blinds in the fourth ward school building and hang curtains in their stead. On mo tion it was accordingly decided not to ' remove the blinds. Mr. Cole reported that he had ob served a pupil of the first ward school ! smoking while on the school ground, > The rules relating to the conduct of pupils while under the teachers' con trol were adverted to, when it was I found that as a penalty for the offense above mentioned the pupil may be de- j prive 1 of the privilege of leaving the school ground at recess.

During his stay he had an interview with The American, in which he stated that measures will be adopted to speedily remedy any imperfections J that may be found in the compauy's electric light service in Danville. The Irondalo plant, which is being enlarged, will be completed in a week or so, when in addition to supplying Bloomsburg. it will assist in furnish ing the current to Danville. Mean while work on the Harwood line is in progress and eventually electricity will be transmitted from that source. General Manager Ellis stated that ' as soon as arrangements can be made 1 the local office will be'kept ojien dur ing the evenings. A local telephone, i in addition to the one in use, will be j installed in the office, so that patrons ; at all times can communicate with the ] company's representatives and obtain all the information relating to the service they desire. The assurance is given that everything possible will be done to bring the service in Danville up to the highest standard. ON THETCANAL. Division Engineer White and a con pie of assistants appeared in this city yesterday and entered on some work preliminary to cleaning up the old canal,if not the filling up of the same as tacitly agreed to by the engineer oil I his visit here some three weeks ago. The division engineer declared yes i terday that the D. L. & W. Railroad company will faithfully carry out all its promises. He regretted that the owners of the canal had been unable to do anything before, but explained I that progress in such matters is necos arily slow. The D. L. A- W. Railroad company, he declared, is just as eager as the citizens of Danville to get rid of the canal nuisance and there was no inclination, whatever, to default. There isn't much satisfaction in figuring out how you were beaten, lmt it may save you from another defeat. DANVILLE. }PA., THURSDAY.

At the-time time that Dun-i ville - .- overtime program was being enacted Mr. Hine, of; Bloomsburg, was putting a shutout on the Nans, the nlti- j mate outcome being that DANVILLE NOW HAS THE SUSQUEHANNA PENNANT CINCHED I and the rest of the contenders are so pesky far behind the band they can't hear the uinsic. And by the same token gaunt despair strode into the camps of the upriver cohorts and smothered with his blighting hand thier dearest desire. To beat Danville was the object of their combined efforts, but now Danville has no thing for them but generous thanks, i'or thier alliance in opposition to this town's team and the. stiff fight they put up against us makes our victory all j tin- more glorious. Saturday's games practically lixed the standing of the clubs for the season j of 11 toil. The last games to be played next Saturday will not change the posi- 1 tion of the tirst four—Danville. NauticoUe, Shickshinny and Bloomsburg. And unless surprises are sprung the second division will also remain unchanged, | Nescopeek tilth and Benton, Allien and Berwick following. lii fastening themselves to the pair of names Saturday tlie Danville team turned as neat and satisfactory a trick as lias been witnessed tliis season,end ins? the agony of the close finish and packing the Susquehanna league championship for the season of l'.KHt away safely where sullied hands can not touch it. The scare of Friday at being forced into two games with a padded team diil not materialize. Quite wisely the Danville management decided togo into the two games with its regular signed lineup and win them if it could. The wisdom of this decision became evident as the play proceeded and it was seen that the locals,headed by the modest and mighty Ooveleskie, won Id not accord Shickshinny a look in. From start to finish in both ganu .- there was nothing to it but Danville. Anil yet the advantage of the locals! over the Shinnyites was not great I enough to become monotonous. The brunt of the liattle was should ered by Ooveleskie. Slowly, but with fatal regularity, he swept one after another Shickshinny batter into his strike out bag. For sixteen innings the procession lasted and during all that time but eight extra men faced the Silent Pole. Of the ."i(i Shickshin ny batters upon whom"Pinkie"smileil 25 fanned the breezes. In both games ho gave but four passes and allowed the visitors to purloin but five hits. 11" was undoubtedly the shining star of Saturday's two games,and Danville gives him the credit which is his due --for a good fellow and the best pitch er in the Susquehanna league. With the stick Umlauf, Livengood and Metzler lead for Danville. ITui lauf in the two games had two singles ; anil two doubles anil scored two of, Danville's runs. Livengood hail three sacrifices and two hits and got on base two extra times by being hit by ;i pitched ball. "Reds" Metzler had two, beautiful wallops and sacrificed twice. The playing of the Danville team all around was fine enough to bring out unstinted praise of the fans. All kinds ; |of chances were accepted. Only one error was made and that by Thomas ! ! at first, whose otherwise superb game i ; with an almost disabled hand, excuses | his one misplay. FIRST GAME. | Although there was no announcement j from the powers as to the time of open- j l ing the game, yet the crowd was on ' hand before two o'clock, determined . | not to miss any of the proceedings. At 2:25, Eastern time, Umpire llag meyer announced that Harned and Payton would be the battery for Shick- i shinny and that Ooveleskie and Dooley . | would tend to things for Danville. | | The crowd received the'announcement | with cheers and then with bated breath watched the first Shinny batter step j up to the plate—and fan out. The story of the run getting doesn't i make it necessary to use up many cap j S's. Only four times did Shickshinny footwear touch the cushions. In the | eighth they made their lonely pilgrim age around the circuit. Williams open | ed this chapter with a drive over the j right field fence on which he took see i onil and advanced to third on Booth's j out. Wood went down on strikes. Dougher's single to center put Wil- I liams across before Payton fanned. I Danville began counting early in the game. Mackert opened the second bv selecting a base on balls, took second on Dooley's sacrifice, stole third and scored on Metzler's bunt. Payton re tired the side without further damage by catching both Metzler and Ammer luan trying to pnrloin second More runs, aided by Shickshinny's carelessness, were recorded in the j third. With one out Livengood got in the way of a pitched ball, ami ail- i ■ vanced oil a ]ui.ssed lia 11. Umlauf laid a slow roller toward third and beat it ; ont. Both runners were advanced a station by a passed ball before Cove- | ' leskie punched the ball to the center field fence sending two scores across 1 ' t lie jilate. In tin' liftli innings Dougher replac- ' ied Harned in the box for Sliickshinny. Hess got on when Williams muffed a throw that would have completed an j out. The captain then did his usual ■ stunt of circling to third on Liven- ( good's sacrifice. lie crossed the pan ! when an overthrow was made to third. That ended the scoring for the first j 112 game. Due ofjthe features of the first panic j was a nervy catch made by Thomas, who'ran'over into the first base bleach- 1 ; era for a high foul from the bat of; Booth, and nailed it. much to the (lis- ; t,'Ust of the'veteran Sliickshinny field er.

Umpire Hagemyer gave the crowd ten minutes intermission between acts for the spectators to stretch and then called the second boat with the same battery for Danville and Dongher in the box for Sliiekshinny. It was a repetition, with the excep tion that Sliiekshinny failed to score at all in the second game,after (Miming mar to it more times than they did in t he first. Danville niiule sure of this game in the opening session. Hess wormed a i pass out of Dougher and went to sec j ond mi Livengood's bunt. He scored 1 the first tally on Umlauts' two bagger into left.Sliiekshinny stemmed the tide at that, although the innings ended , with two Danville runners on base. 1 The second was a fruitful inning with two pairs of Danville feet brush ing the pan. Dooley drove a hot one 111 Morris at third whose juggle allow ed the Danville catcher to reach first; i he stole second and reached third 011 a bad throw ; scoring on Metzler'sboninl , er into right. Kelly sacrificed "Reds" to second and he went to third while Hess was being thrown out at first. The bright headed one then sank his ; spikes in the plate when Liveugood rolled an infield hit.

LAST LEAGUE GAME HERE. i It is likely that the last game of the Susqenhanna league season will be 1 played in this city next Saturday with 1 Benton, although the game is schedu led to be played at Benton. The change will be made at the request of the Benton management which be lieves that more money can be made | out of the game by accepting a guar- I antee from Danville than by playing j 011 their home grounds. Incidentally | it is interesting to note that all gamer ! have been played bv Danville on the i home grounds since August 28th, the last one away from home being tlu memorable one with Sliiekshinny ou that date. Peary's star is surely behind a verj dark cloud. OBSERVED HIS IST BIRTHDAY If anyone wishes to observe an ob ject lesson showing how a |ierson may "grow old gracefully" lie should give heed to the life of Michael Powers, i Centre street, who yesterday observed ' 1 lis 101 st birthday. Those persons who congratulated ! Michael one year ago on having round- j i d out a century of life and assured him that he was good for another 1 birthday and probably many others i prove 1 to be true prophets. At the ex piration of another year the venerable man is still with us—every whit as well preserved and healthful, his eye as bright, his hearing as good and his i mind as clear as when lie observed his | one-hundredth birthday. A visit to Mr. Powers yesterday found him occupying his easy chair. He was in a cheerful—even jolly frame of mind. He fully appreciates the fact j that it is a phenomenal thing for a , man to live beyond a hundred years i and to retain his health and faculties : as lie has done. The aged man explained that lie has much, indeed, to be thankful for. He I has not an infirmity, physical or men tal.to detract from the pleasure of liv ing. He attributes his excellent pres- ! ervation to his good habits. "You | know," hi' remarked, "it is a great deal for one to take care of himself." j Hi*, asserted that he could easily walk two miles a day, but he added philoso- i phically: "God knows I have walked ! enough in my life." He believes in conserving his strength and, while up to a few months ago it was quite a ! common thing for him to enjoy a walk to DeWitt's park, he does not think it best for him now to indulge in such strenuous exercise. The old man is thoroughly in touch j and, it might he added, in sympathy I with the every day life of the world, j "I am very happy," lie said. "I have j so many good friends. All the people I treat me so kindly." He was especial ly thankful that he had been able to j save money and had ample to keep him j during his remaining days. He spoke very affectionately of a niece, who keeps house for him. "I am well tak en care of."he said. "I have every thing in my house that I need and I would not exchange places with a mil lionaire. It is a great thing." lie add ed, " to be happy." In recognition of his birthday the aged man today will take a trip to : Bloomsburg on the trolley. It is the ; iirst trolley ride that lie has had since j the line was started, five years ago. j when he also took a trip to Blooms- | bnrg. Mr. Powers i-< a b ichel »r. "I ■ «tat <1 yesterday that at ou - wwfml ! of social pleasure .»■ 'ially of liu -I ing. But of conr.-i . all I > was many, many years ag'. The facts of Mr. Power's urly 1 have several times b en adv< rtcd to in these columns. He was born in Coun ty Armagh, Ireland. He went t» Kn : land and later to Scotland, from whh;h j country, at the age of forty years, he came to America. He crossed the ocean in a sailing vessel named the "Mary Morris." Ten weeks and three days were occupied in crossing. The incid ents of this voyage and of every day of his life prior to it, back to his boy hood almost a hundred years ago, Mr. Powers declares,are clear and distinct in his mind —for more so than the in cidents of the immediate past embrac ed in the last few months of his life. Surprise Party in Valley. A pleasant surprise party was tend ered Mrs. David Wise, Mansdale,Tues day evening, in honor of her birth day. The evening was spent in danc ing, music being furnished by Hend ricks and Delsite. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. William Cope, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Delsite, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Fausey, | Mr. and Mrs. Charles Snyder, Mr. and I Mrs. David Wise, Mrs. John Fry. ! Misses Clara Co]ie.

The Columbia Power, Light and Railways company is hard at work completing its line between this city anil Bloomseurg, while work at the same time is being carried on between Bloomsburg and Berwick. The line will carry the high tension Harwood current which in the near future will I be used in this city, j The poles are already erected from 1 Bloomsburg eight miles toward Dan ' ville.the line running along the Frosty ! Valley road. This morning a gang of j men will begin pntting up the poles ! from this end. The wires to be used ! are oil hand in Bloomsburg and will , be quickly strung. The Columbia eom ! pany has a capacity at the Blooms j burg Irondalc plant greater than is ■ utilized and if the line is completed | before the Harwood-Berwick line is : done, Irondale current will be used ' temporarily in this city. , The officers of the Columbia coin ! pany state that they are hustling every day to get a good quality of current I into Danville to take the place of that ! now furnished by the out of date macli ; inery in use here. They promise aflaw i less service when their system is | moulded into proper shape. I The line which the Columbia com pany is now building in Frosty Valley I is of very substantial construction, 1 made necessary by the high voltage ; which it will carry. Removes to Northumberland.
