- This month of July is said by onr
older citizens to remind them of July in
the year 1855. In that year there was
rain nearly every day in July, and in
consequence the harvest was not only
delayed but most of the crops badly in
jured. Wheat grew in the head while
standing in the field uncut, and rye,
hay and other crops were also damaged.
It looks as if abont the same is to hap

not be worked and in fact nearly all the
crops are not only retarded but are
damaged by the recent rains.

than a majority of elephants. He easi

A Daring Loopcr.
It is an indisputable fact that Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers combined
circuses have more entirely new and
thrilling features than any show ever
traveling in this country.
Among these may be mentioned the
wonderful feat by Diavolo, who loops
the loop on a bicycle, at once the most
death-defying and daring act ever pre
sented before the public- Just as a
child swings in a circle a bucket full of
water without spilling, so does dare
devil Diavolo sweep the circle at a
frightful speed without falling. This
feature alone created a profound sensa
tion in New York city and all other
cities where seen.
Then there are the Aurora Zouaves,
the official interstate drill champions
of the United States, who have just re
turned from a triumphant conquest of
all continental Europe, where they
were pronounced by nobility and royalty
to be the l>est drilled soldiers in the
world; Minting, the Marvel, the only
man on earth who can and does ride a
unicycle or a single wheel of a bicycle
up and down a narrow spiral tower: the
Four La Mon ten, the Five St. Leon* and
the Five De Luccas, the three troops of
all Europe's greatest acrobats; the Ten
Peerless Potters, the Greatest Aerial
Act on Earth; the Jackson Family
l!ycling Sextette; Starr, the Shooting
Star, who dashes down a ladder on an
ordinary bicycle, etc.
It is indeed a wonderfnl consolidation
and there will not be verv many living
in this community who will not want
to see it when it exhibits here, on Sat
urday, August 2.

One of the most important decisions
to corporation interests in this State
given by the courts in recent years, was
tiled last Friday by the Danphin County
court, iu passing upon the validity of
the "corporation merger act" of May
29. 1901. It was decided that electric
light and gas companies chartered
under the general corporation act of
1874 may consolidate. The question
arose in the case of a bill filed by the
Commonwealth at the instance of the
Attorney General to enjoin the Hunt
ingdon Gas company and the Hunting
don Electric Light company from con
solidating. The right to consolidate it
was claimed on behalf of the companies,
was conferred by the acts of April 17.
1870. and May 29, 1901, supplemental to
the general corporation act of 1874, bat
the Commonwealth urged, among other
objections, that these acts do not
authorize the consolidation of companies
organized for different purposes While
technically supplying gas and supply
ing electricity to the public are different
purposes, yet the court finds that both
companies are engaged in the business
of supplying light, and that in any case
the langnage of the acts of Assembly is
so broad and general as to leave no
doubt as to the authority conferred to
merge and consolidate.
