According to Mayor Canaga, the demonstration was only an attempt made by some young men who had been students at Sclo college and had been disciplined by President Bootham to get even with him before  left the little college town for another.STEUBENVILLE, O., Sept. 13.— The proposed merger of the Scio and Mount Union colleges, which was arranged for at a recent joint trustee meeting in Steubenville, has aroused violent opposition and caused an open attack upon President R. Emory Beetham of Scio college as he was preparing to leave the town for Mount Union. He was hooted and jeered in the street, and eggs and other missiles, it is said, were thrown at him by a crowd of young men. So violent was the demonstration that President Beetham got Mayor George O. Canaga and Marshall n. Kirby to accompany him to the station in the evening for protection.

An old empty tar barrel was one of the adjuncts of playtime and Charles as an experiment, placed a lighted match In the bunghole. The explosion of gases accumulated therein resulted and Charles was badly burned abnitl the hand and arm. Tin' route from .Vow York will be the same, except that Central Railroad of New Jersey will be used a portion of the distance to Wlllianisport.

The route from Philadelphia will be over the Philadelphia A; Heading to Williamspoi i, then over the Beech Creek, a New York Central line, to Clearfield, over the Huffalo, Rochester A: Pittsburg, to DuHois, the Low Grade division of the Pennsylvania to Hrokville, over the Franklin & Cleaifleld, and over the Lake Shore &. Michigan Southern via Ashtabula, to Chicago. FRANKLIN, Pa., Sept. 13.—Tho .New York Central railroad has announced that on Sunday, September 17, passenger service bet ween- York and Philadelphia in the east and Viuca.n.i in ilu> west, wijl be inau- via thu m w &. rHearnbld railroad, whl&h is under lease to the Lake Shore At the beginning only two L'S-hour trains will be run, but if the experiment proves successful faster trains will be pdividedOne of the <iuestions decided in the opinion Is apparently one exactly similar to the question raised as to the term of Mayor W. A. Magee of Pittsburg and of Mayor Arthur and the other officials of McKeesport. While Judge Davis decided that the schedule did not affect the terms of officials in power at the time of the adoption of the amendments, Justice Stewart affirms an ouster opinion by the lower court of Adams county, and orders into office an official whoso term was believed to have expired even after another official had been chosen by the people to fill his place, both the lower and the supreme court deciding that the term of this official had been extended by the schedule to the amendments. Arguments were heard today before Judges Sliafer and Haymaker, on the constitutionality of Judge Davis' ;deelslon on the McKeesport ripper hill, which resulted in twenty-six names for the mayoralty nomination here. Political chaos in the second class cities and borough of the State i.relgns. Arguments follower a petition filed late yesterday before Attorney Williaf A. Stone, former governor of the State, asking for an injunction to restrain the county commissioners from printing the names ipn the ballots. The opinion was discovered yesterday in the latest copies of the a 1- vance reports of the supreme court, under date of September 8, and caused great joy among the large and small officials of Pittsburg, McKoesport and the boroughs that believed their local governments had been torn up by the roots. A decision by the State Supreme Court Justice John Stewart, four justices concurring, deciding that the schedule of the constitutional amendments extends the terms of municipal officials in office at the time of the adoption of the amendments, and in this respect directly contradicting the decision of Judge J. L. Davis of the local courts, would seem to take the teeth out of the McKeesport ripper bill and to restore peace and order in the excited municipalities of the commonwealth. In addition to the office of burgess that of tax collector, councilmen, school director and auditor will be affected.Judge Davis 'opinion as decUred effects ever.v borough or county official elected in 100!'. Ordln.irily those officials' t.?rnis would I'liu extended for three year; c;i:llne 1 >12, but the recent ameni'.inc ;i' the State constitution fixing the tii.ie !' <:• holding borough and county e ■ tlonp In the odd years was thoug.it . u 1(1 bo the means of extending the t, rnu of the officials elected in 1009 until December, 1913, but Judge Davis holds that the terms cannot be extended so that the 1909 officials' successors must necessarily be chosen tills year as no county or borough elections will be held In 1 9 1 2. An opinion rendered by Judge L. L. Davis, of Pittsburg, affecting every borough and county officer lias excited much comment throughout the State. According to Judge Davis Punxsutawney will have to elect i successor to Burgess Freas at the coming election, while the district attorney is affected in the same manner. The decision has caused some uncertainty in political circles and a short and cliarp campaign for the offices affected may result Under the dlcislon of Judge I.. L. Davis of Pittsburg, a burgess must be elected In Kittanning, Wickboro and Ford City tills fall. This is the view expressed in local official circles and the sudden development is likely to participate a short, sharp campaign in each of the boroughs effected.
