The case of Edward Callaghan
against T. V. Powderly, J. R. Byrne
and Peter Wise, all prominent
Knights of Labor, for conspiracy,
came Hp belore Justice Merritt at
Scottdale, Pa., on Nov. 30th. After
hearing Callaghan's evidence Justice
Merritt decided that it was not suf
ficient to hold the defendants for

There will be no necessity now for the

The horse owned by J. Harvey
King of LaPorte twp., which we re
cently mentioned had been kicked
by Mr. Pardoe's horse of Elkland
| and its leg broken, was killed by
Mr. King last week. The horse
while in the act of laying down
j broke the fractured limb so that it
i hung loose 011 its body proving it
| worthless. The horse was a valu-
I able beast and Mr. King feels the
ldss very much.
A short time ago the W. C. T. IT.,
organization of Tulikhannock re
solved to arrest barbers of said place
who followed their profession on
Sunday. They made oue arrest last
week aud the barber pled guilty.
The Democrat in commenting on the
same says: "If the W. C. T. U.,
would look after and suppress other
evils in our borough more injurious
to the morals of the place they
would confer a much greater benefit
upon the community. The bottling
of lager beer and the sale of intoxi
cating liquors 011 the Sabbath, as
well as gambling, are more serious
obstacles in the way of morality and
good citizenship than the shaving of
dead men, or even liVe men, on Sun
day."
A prominent temperance gentle
man in town gives it as his opinion
that the proper way to handle the
liquor question would be as follows:
"Let the United States Government
dissolve partnership with the liquor
business by repealing the internal
revenue laws. Then give every man
the right to manufacture and sell
liquor that wants to. Rut if a man
is found drunk on the streets, then
imprison him untill he tells who
Bold him liquor to make him intoxi
cated* Then, he says, there should
be a law passed making a heavy tine
and imprisonment lor the person or
persons selling any one enough
liquor to make them intoxicated.
In this way the gentleman says lie
feels satisfied that not many drunken
men would be seen on the streets as
the liquor sellers would be very care
ful not to sell a person enough
liqUor to put any one under its
influence.—F: e.

Under a recent law of this Com
monwealth, passed to prevent a de
terioration of stock by animals run
ning at large, it was enacted that no
stallion, bull, ram, jack ot boar shall
be permitted to run at large on the
public highway of the State. Any
person who finds such animals run
ning at large may impound them,
advertise them within a period of
ten days in one weekly newspaper
for two weeks, and if the animal is
not redeemed within twenty days
after such public notice and
all damages and costs paid, besides
one dollar to the impounder, it shall
l»e sold at public sale and the amount
realized, less costs and charges, be
paid to the treasurer of the School
district Where the animal was taken
up.
The young folks of LaPorte, gave
a party in the Hall on Thursday
evening Nov. 28th. The party was
represented by a goodly number of
our young people who were enjoy
ing a good time when their fun at
About 11 p. m.was somewhat inter--
fdred with by the presence of sev
eral intruders who had to some
extent been indulging in "fire
water." The new comers seated
themselves at the west end of the
Hall and were only present a short
time when they became very restless
and were exceedingly anxious to show
their strength. The manager ot the
Hall requested them to keep quiet
but they refused, when they were
picked up body and britches and
removed from the dancing depart
ment to the entrance way like a
flash of lightning. Here a free-for
all combat was indulged in ami
several black eyes were the result.
Such work is a disgrace to our to«vn
and should not IMJ tolerated by the
proper officials. People who in
such a state crowd themselves into
private circles should be taught to
act the part of a gentleman or be re
moved by the proper officials to the
place provided by the county u
The terrible condition of oitt
roads every fall and spring causing
great inconvenience and in many
cases entire cessation of travel and
much loss should arouse the people
into devising and procuring some
method of road making that will iit
least give some return for the money '
expended in this direction. The <
present systems of road working and '
road taxing are alike, defective and
expensive, for where roads are made
by digging useless ditches and
throwing the surplus dirt into the ,
centre of the road, where it makes (
when rain comes an unfathomable
mass of mud and in dry weather a
cloud of choking dust, both of which
are to say the least inconvenient,
disagreeable and destructive to
horse, wagon and harness, your road
is wretched and jour money wasted.
Good roads can be and should be
hud, especially in this country
which abounds in good material for i
making roads. There is only one
efllcient way to make good and
durable country roads, and that is
by breaking stone into small pieces
and filling in with the chips and
stoue dust that accumulate while
breaking the stone. A bed made in
this manner and topped oir with red
shell or a light covering of a hard
blue clay will last for years and al
ways be m good shape with very
little repairing. Some steps should
be taken in this direction at once, .
and it does seem that the amount
of money expended in our township
every year, should entitle the tax
payers to better roads as above de
scribed. It tte cannot build but a
mile or two a year we would- be
making some progress and in time
would get the whole completed.
While at the same time the taxpay
ers would see some result for the
annual amount he expends for this
purpose.

the building of u suitable edifice to '

who desire to worship with them *

found that a very large number of
those who come to this place for a
summer resort are church going

being nearly all active church work

Eagles Mere. The Baptists who un
til the recent buildinig up of this
village struggled for many yea rs
almost alone in sustaining the cause
greatly appreciate the timely help
this transient population have given
them in aiding to erect a Chapel
and hope in the near future to be
able to occupy a home large enough
to accommodate their full share of
summer visitors* ** * \
