Palmer has completed his report to be forwarded to the Yjureau of Statistic**, Washington, D. I'. The report shows that during the year 1909 the chief and one assistant policeman made 614 arrests, as Against 602 for the year 1908, and 702 for the year 1907. Although these figures indicate that crimes anil misdemeanor* hereabouts have decreased largely since 1907, It Is believed that the stunt of pulling off 614 arrests In a mingle yeur by a chief and one assistant Is a record breaker, and Piinxsutawney hereby issues ft challenge to other township, borough or city officers to beat, or equtil It. mm for tin uid It Is the Intention of Mom to appeal soon to the President to exercise hta power ot pardon. Such an appeal, however, will meet with violent opposition f*om the Judge* sitting In hl« case, the Morse financiers In Wall Street and others who hold him responsigle for tho panic.

Promptly at 12 tfclock engineers got busy with their tllro'ttle cords nnd for half an hour;thi' ambient and smoke-laden atmosphere was a<ated us mver before on a similar occasion. The operators run the entire gamut of noises, some deep and measured, somd shrill and piercing, some bold nnd lilutant, some stoccato and some feverish, the ensemble being a racuous jangle to those who desired to sleep, but a demonstration of supreme Jubilation to those who look upon the advent of if new year as a proper time to give to the aspirations of a powerfuf people for a cycle of peace and progress. Although the big welcome began at 12 o'clock anil was kept up until 12:30 this morning,, there was desultory blowing and tooting of whistles until one o'clock. Tlje engineers did not have a mon opoljf In the making of noises, for pedestrians and night hawks cut loose, both singly and collectively with vocalizations that ran the chromatic scale for three octaves and embruced anything from the cry of a lone coyote to the yells of a bevy of Comanche Indians. There were watch meetings and Ney Year parties galore last night, and 12 o'clock foqnil all of the watchers In a merry moqd when Don Nineteen Hutidted and Ten made his debut and gracefully bowed Nineteen Hundred and Nine off the stage. Prognostlcatorw concede that hW welcome given to 191fe'Was not misplaced. for the indications* are that the" year ushered In last night will easily put the bog on iU- predecessor In the distribution of health, wealth and happiness. %he Bhilllps Ga* Company, of Punx.sutawnry and Butler, has added large* ly to Its lease holdings by the purehriae of Il',000 acn s of lease* lying in | Western Indiana County and Eastern Armstrong County.
