From the testimony adduced at the hearing it appears that in 1897 the bor- ough council entered into an agree- meat with the Pennsylvania Railroad company whereby the latter were to build the bridge and the borough to keep it in repair ever after. This was not done by an ordinance, but by a resolution passed by the council, which was accepted by the corporation. After the receipt of the acceptance of the res olution the council extended a vote of : thanks to the company, for an omnipo- tent and omnipresent supreme being alone knows what. The contention of the present bor- ough officials was that the action of the 897 council was null and void, for the reason that the resolution was not suf- ficient, but that an ordinance was nec- essary to make the contract legal. This view, however, was not shared by Judge O’Connor, as the foregoing shows, and under his ruling Patton borough will be compelled to look after the bridge for all time. The structure has been in bad shape for months and an entire new bridge is needed. It is stated that the borough may petition the court to allow it to abandon the structure entirely and es- tablish a grade crossing, but the out- come of this procedure would be ex- tremely problematical. In handing down his opinion Judge | 0’Connor stated that notwithstanding | the possible irregularity of the resolu-| tion in question, the borough govern- ment was expected to keep its thor- oughfares in a safe and passible condi- tion. If a wrong were being done, he said, it might be properly righted by an action for damages. LOCAL INSTITUTE.

HEAP BIG HUNT, Greatest Round-up in the State Since the Days of the Indians. George E. Prindible was hunting deer in Clinton county this week with the members of the Otzinachson Rod and Gun club on what was the greatest deer hunt in Pennsylvania since the days of the Indians. The ciub is composed of George S. Good and Wilson Kistler, of Lock Haven; James Kerr, of Clearfield; Wm. F. Mosser, of Westover; Rembrandt Peale, of St. Benedict; Senator God- charles, of Milton, and several others. A number of years ago the club stocked with 400 deer a preserve of 4,000 acres inclosed by 12 miles of fence. At first the animals were upset by the change of location, but since then have thriven wonderfally. It is believed there are now 1,500 deer in the park. Under the rules of the club only bucks may be hunted. If the deer continue to increase at the ratio they have been breeding, and there is no indication to the contrary, the club expects by another year to begin to liberate them, several hundred each year, in order to stock the surrounding territory. Lease Secured on Coal Lands. Charles Stuart and A. T. Strittmat- ter, of Hastings, have,it is understood, by an agreement recently made with the Springfield Syndicate Lands com- pany secured a lease on about 1,000 acres of coal land located in Blacklick township. The tract was originally known as the Mary Evans property and adjoins the Ivy Hill coal lands. The Messrs. Stuart and Strittmatter will, it is stated, sink a shaft and begin | to mine coal as soon as possible. The A.W. Buck, M. D. Kittell, H. A. Shoemaker, J. G. Lloyd, Robert Scanlan and Mrs. Mary V.
