The Injured lad was taken to his home and' a physician called, who reduced the fracture. The reckless use of the bicycle on our prlnclpnl streets Is growing dally. Some people Imagine that It Is neces sary that a speed of thirty miles an hour be maintained while out for a plcastiro ride. A bicycle rider should use million, especially after dark, when he has neither lamp or bell to warn people. We nlso note that some of our town people lmngtne that Main street was built for the purpose of showing off fast horses. It has be come a dally occurrence. It's a dan gerous practice and should bet stopped before an acldent takes place.

Special Session of Borough Council Last Evening Rev. Hughes' Able Lecture Changes nt the Power House. Tho borough council held a brief ses sion last evening. In opening the meeting, Chairman Moon explained tho object, which was to consider the ad visability of engaging another uorough attorney to assist Attorney Mulholland, tho present borough attorney. Mr. Moon stated that the borough was now Involved In four suits, one of which was an action to recover from the bor ough J10.000 damages, nnd another to recover from tho borough $5,000 dam ages. Ho thought this would give tw attorneys sulllclent work to attend to, and suggested that they appoint Attor ney A. J. Colborn to consult and work with the other attorney on the pending suits. Councilman Wheeler thought they might hire Mr. Colborn without paying tho retainer fee, but his opin ion appeared to have no weight with the other councllmen, and by motion Mr. Colborn was appointed borough at torney, to be paid the same retainer fee as Mr. Mulholland. Jermyn now has the distinction of having two borough attorneys, and it Is possible if the legal suits continue to multiply they may In a little while need another. A merry party of young people gath ered at tho homo of Mr. and Mrs. George Pendcred, Jr., of Third street, Monday evening.

Considered the Finest Type of Bat tleship in the Navy. The battleship ICearsage, which re cently made her first trial trip In charge of her tegular oillcers and crew, is considered tho finest type of warship which has yet been added to the American navy. Marino experts are of the opinion that she Is the equal of any vessel alloat In nrma ment, power and destructive posslblli ties. Although literally n floating fort ress, the Kearsarge has leally a beau tiful model and sets la the water like a yacht. This, according to Collier's Weekly, Is partly due to the extent of her upper works. Tho Kearsarge is 80S feet long, 72 feet (. inches beam, nnd draws L'3 feet of water with all her stores and ammunition aboard, In cluding her coal supply, which Is 1,200 tons, or enough to allow her to cross the Atlantic and back at a moderate speed without recoallng. Sho carries four of the heaviest guns ever placed on a man-of-war 13-Inch rllles, which will throw a ptojectlle further than those of tho Indiana or Otegon. In connection with the main battery are fourteen 6-Inch rapid-fire guns. The secondary battery consists of twenty C-pounders, bIx 1-pounders and four machine guns, while her tor pedo equipment consists of four tubes, two on each side. At ono broadside, this vessel can discharge three nnd one-half tons of steel at an enemy, the B-Inch rifles throwing 50. pound pro jectiles every ten seconds, . The Kearsarge has a side armor belt 16,i Inches thick. Thu barbette armor Is IB Inches thick, while the mala gun turrets range from 15 In ches to 17 Inches In thickness. No warship In the world Is more heavily armored than the Kearsarge, while everything about her Is practically lire-proof. Sho cost $5,000,000, and naval experts say she Is well worth It.
