VOL 30. ISLOOMSliUUG, PA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBEK U, 1901. NO. 4G ANOTHER HALT. The Work ol Constructing the Trolley Lino to Catawissk Temporarily Susponded. The work of constructing the trolley line to Catawissa was again suspended on Saturday by the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company. The Electric Railway Company had suc ceeded in securing the right of way through Montour township, but were hatted tor the second time by the Reading Company which had a loco motive and crew on guard at Rupert to prevent the stringing of trolley wires between the two bridges. Things were beginning to assume an interest ing phase when the trolley company employed a little stratagem, by dividing the workmen into two forces and while the railroaders were destroy ing the work at one bridge the other lorce ran their wires beneath the other bridge. Now another engine has been placed at Catawissa in order to prevent the crossing of the com pany's tracks. The proceedings of the injunction recently served upon the Railway Company to restrain them from inter fering with the work of construction, were argued in court Monday after noon, with Judge Lynch of Wilkes- Barre presiding. The preliminary in junction was dissolved, but the bill continued, after which an agreement was entered into, the conditions of which are that the Railway Company is not to interfere with work already performed and the Trolley Company is to suspend operations at the points in dispute. A BKAVE AOT- The high trestling of the P. & R Railroad at Mainville, was set on fire by an engine Monday night. It was first discovered by a track walker, who realizing the uselessness of a Single handed combat with the flames the agent at Mainville was notified and he called on the Catawissa fire department who were called out and carried to the scene on a special train. Great difficulty was experienced in reaching the burning portions of the trestle because the force of water was not strong enough. The structure was threatened with total distruction when "Texas" Kesty, a telephone lineman from town, at the risk of his life, tied a rope around his waist and was low ered to the burning part of the trestling, and with a pick, worked heroically single handed until he tore down nearly the entire span which prevented the fire spreading and saved the trestling. In the mean time more hose was secured and a strong stream was played on the turning timbers. Kesty's act was very daring and nervy, and he no doubt will be liberally rewarded by the railroad company. Only a small portion of the trestling was burned, but a large portion of it was torn down to prevent the fire from spreading, and all tiaftic was de layed twelve hours. Valuable Stone Quarry William Chrisman Esq., some time ago purchased from the Drinker Estate, a tract of land, containing one hundred and fourteen acres, located in Hemlock township, on which he has opened a stone quarry. The work ot opening up the quarry and getting out the stone is in charge of William Felix, who with a force of four men, tre busily engaged in its prosecution. It is impossible at this time to give the depth of the layer of rock with any degree of accuracy, but it starts near the bottom of the hill and runs diag onally to the top. The stone for building purposes is the finest in this section. It is of a hard, brittle nature, easily dressed, and of good face. The stone now being used for the founda tion walls of E. B. Tustin's mansion on Market Street are from this quarry. Revival Services at the M- E. Church- Revival services were commenced in the Methodist Episcopal church Sunday evening.

I Fell 8evenly Feet- Harry Beckley Is Thrown From the Fir Escape at Wyoming Seminary. Harry Beckley, while attempting to descend from the fourth story of Wyoming Seminary at which he is a student, by means of a rope fire escape Tuesday afternoon of last week was thrown to the pavement below. He and a friend, Harry Wil bur, had decided to go down the fire escape in order to save time. Wilbur was the first to venture and he reach ed the ground in safety. Beckley then climbed out but scarcely had he allowed his weight to rest on the twisted cord, when a staple in the floor pulled out and he was hurled to the pavement below. The great force of the fall, however, was broken and his lite undoubtedly saved, by the brav ery of his chum, who jeopardized his own life by throwing out his elbow. He was removed 10 the Seminary and given medical attention. An exami nation revealed a sprained ankle but no bones broken. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Beckley, were informed of thi mis fortune and the latter went up and brought him home. Dr. Bruner is in attendance and he hopes to have his patient out in a short time. - A Creditable Performance. The entertainment given for the benefit of Mr. Jay Brown, in the Opera House Thursday evening of last week, was an artistic and financial success. The best of local talent had been selected for the occasion, and everyone acquitted their parts in an admirable and highly entertaining manner. The first part of the recent Winona minstrel was used, that is the curtain raiser and the entrance and exit of the end men. The jokes, or many of them were new, as were also the songs. The former were all good and many timely hits were pre sented in a humorous manner, while the ballads were of unusual attractive ness, and of the latest composition. The olio, or after part, was also particularly strong, the most potent feature being the umbrella dance by Misses Clarissa Peacock and Mar guerite Eshleman. Moving pictures by the A. & T. Biograph Company, acrobatic feats, by Dr. A. K. Aldinger and Clark bheep and club swinging by Mr. Alfred Armstrong. Mr. Arm strong had prepared quite a novelty in the way ot illuminated clubs, but unfortunately, the wires had twisted off, while he was rehearsing in the afternoon, and was unnoticed until he was ready to go on the stage. But notwithstanding his specialty was well received, and he was called out the second time. The cake walk as usual, was an enjoyable feature, and the applause given the contestants was loud and prolonged. The coveted prize was awarded by the judges, Mayor Frank Ikeler,. Prof. J. K. Miller and Fred Holmes to Warren Lee and Frank Colley, the latter assuming the part of a colored lady." The net proceeds amounted to an even one hundred dollars, and the same was deposited in the Farmer's National Bank, to the credit of Mr. Jay Brown, and the bank book hand ed to that gentleman.

Landis will lecture. The Boston Sunday Journal says of him: Congressman Charles B. Landis of Indiana is about the brightest of the men who have recently entered the House. Of all the new men in Con. gress he is the only one who has made a record for oratory of the kind that tells. He did not jump in at the be ginning of his first term, in order to catch the attention of the House, but he bided his time till something came up in which he was really interested and concerning which he knew he had something to say. Then he glided into the debate and captured every body." Maro, the celebrated magician, musician and artist will give his unique entertainment Wednwday evening. He is said to have mastered the art of magic. His feats are truly marvellous. The performance is skilled, astound ing and interesting. MARO, THE MAGICIAN, Normal Auditorium, Wednesday, November 20 1901. Bafa at Borne.

Later his regiment was ordered to Manila. Fifty four days were required to reach the far away islands, the trip being made by way of the Suez Canal. J. W. Lanyon, of this town, was a member ot this same company, while William Heberly, a brother and 'Hobble Geese were in the same regiment but belonged to a different company.
