The trolley car caused quite a
combination of events below Espy
Thursday morning. A party of
gypsies stopped along the road to
rest. In an open wagon one of the
female contingent was holding fast
to a strap fastened about the necK
of a skinny-looking colt. The ap
proach of the car frightened the
colt, and it jumped, jerking the
woman out against the fence, but
she held fast to the strap. She
voiced a few cuss words as the
naughty trolley car went bowling
off towards Espy.
A party of gentlemen from
Orangeville consisting of Chief
Burgess A. B. Herring, Council-
men J. B. DeLoug, C. B. White,

and Perry Freas, Borough Solicitor
Clinton Herring and Borough En
gineer George Jones, came down
Friday to inspect the trolley road.
The party was conveyed to and
from Lime Ridge on a special car
by the contractors Scanlon & Co.
All expressed themselves as being
well pleased with the trip.

The Central Pennsylvania Tele
phone Company has made a big
cut in the rate in this town. Every
person having a phone placed in
his business office or store will be
given a residence phone gratis.
This movement is to all appear
ances a premeditated one, made
with a view of reclaiming some of
the business now in possession of
the new Company. It is not un
likely that this announcement will
result in some still greater reduc
tions for telephones.
.
A pocketbook, containing some
thing over five dollars, mysteriously
disappeared from a baby carriage in
front of the Leader Company Store,
on Market street, Monday morning.
Mrs. William Quick, of William
street, wheeled her little three-year-old
daughter up to the side of
the store, and placing her purse in
the carriage, went into the store.
When she came out the purse was
missing. A young boy, who was
observed running up an alley near
by, was suspected, and Constable
Miles Betz was sent after him. The
boy denied the accusation and gave
way to tears. He was allowed to
go.

The game of base ball on Normal
Field Friday afternoon was a pleas
ant surprise. The visitors alter
having the game in hand, became
unbalenced and during the ten min
utes error matinee, the Wheelmen
scored five unearned runs. Barring
this one inning Montgomery played
good ball. The final score was 1 1
to 8 in the Wheelmen's favor.
"Pop" Watts, our old favorite held
down the third corner tor visitors.
He is a known star performer, but
his work on this particular occasion
was not overly brilliant. The
Wheelmen journeyed to Montgom
ery Saturday for a return game.
One inning was played during which
Montgomery scored four runs when
rain interfered.

The farmers of this county and
their friends were out in large num
bers on I hursday last. The occas
sion was the annual picnic. The
estimates as to the actual number
of people who attended vary, but
from one who always adheres pretty
strictly to conservatism, we are in
formed that fully six thousand
people were on the grounds. It
was a large gathering and enjoy
able in every way. Able addresses
were delivered by Ired T. Ikeler
Esq. and Hon. W. T. Creasy.
Rev. Smith, of the Baptist church,
this town also made a few remarks
all of which were well received. In
the afternoon many people accepted
the invitation extended by the
Penna. Copper and Mining Co. to
visit their plant and all displayed
great interest in the process of ex
traction. THIN
