This Is in a spot where traffic Is very heavy and makes It dangerous to teamsters, and especially to bicyclists. Another place which la receiving com plaints Is at the White bridge. Here Uie planking has become broken in and a large hole left, through which man's or horse's foot could easily pass. This should b looked after before the city baa another lawsuit pending. The Belmont Pave. People are wondering when work will fee commenced on the Belmont pave. Thla passed txtUt councils end the con tract awarded. However, the Traction company, which was to pave part, has done nothing as yet. and there 1 no prospect of It getting their immediate attention.

Their trip had been one continued round of pleasure, as the poets say, and the vic torious career of the team had much to do with the pleasure. Two faces were missed from the galaxy of stars. Napoleon) Alexis McLaughlin was taken suddenly ill at his home in Bordentown, N. J., while on a leave of absence. His friend and fellow-townsman, Tony Letts, the mixologist of the Hotel An thracite, claims to have exclusive Infor mation of Mac's sudden marriage. If this be true, the sudden illness theory will be blighted simultaneously with several fond thoughts. Manager Mart Swift went to Hazleton, where a meet ing of tine board of directors of the state league was held yesterday afternoon and evening. Boston wants 'McLaughlin, but unless they raise their figures they will sigh in vain. The sum now offered for the hearty little pitcher Is $600. The asso ciation will not consider anything under $1,000. McLaughlin has done grea t work for Carbondale, pitching and winning five games lnal week and eight games in two weeks against the strongest teams In the State league. i INVITED TO ELM IRA. The Garriok Clnh to Present London As surance There.

Hussle, formerly of this city, to present the play in Elmlra, N. Y., for the benefit of his church. Father Hussle Is now stationed at Bcntleys Creek, a small place but a short distance from Elmlra. He re tains the warmest affection for Carbon dale and its people, and it Is this affec tion which turned his thoughts to these amateurs and their efforts at self-edu cation. The proposition has .been ac cepted, and the fixing of a date left to the discretion of Father Husale. "London Assurance" will receive a Carbondale presentation during the lat ter part of September. It will probably be performed for the bee fit of Emer gency hospital. POTTSVILLE HERE TODAY. Last Year's Champions Will Do or Be Done. A telegram from Mart Swift was re ceived by J. W. AHken Inst evening. It states that the State league Is all right, and that Pottsville wtill play here to day and tomorrow. This good news will gladden the heart of every loyal crank from Forest City to Olyphant. Pottsville has always been a great favorite here, and, since Barney Conroy has assumed the man agement, has been playing snappy ball. Pottsville will also play here on Mon day, and Hasleton, In all probability, on Wednesday and Thursday. The local backers of the game de clare that they are In to the finish, If they have only another team with which to play. . All the others are equally positive in their determination to stick. TOE NEARLY SEVERED. Young Walter Smith Disastrously Jumps t'pon a Place of Glass. Yesterday Walter Smith, a small lad who reside on Brooklyn street, was at the Delaware and Hudson pockets watching the men load the cars from the chutes. Tiring of this he walked down the plane which runs up to the top of the pockets, and when nearly to the bottom jumped off to the ground. The boy was unfortunate enough to land on a large piece of glass, which he did not see, as it was covered with culm. He was at once assisted to his home and Dr. Flteslmmons summoned On examination he found that one of the toes was nearly severed. Several stitches were put In It and the lad Is now able to hobble around.
