(i till lives iu West Twenty-third street, ' N»w York, We are told by good authority that a Catholic church and parson age to the same, will be erected at Laporte at once and that the Law rence Bros, are now engaged in drawing the plans. The parish will consist of the following towns, viz: Eagles Me re, Soncstown, Muney Vall ey, Lope/, and Beruice. Rev. Father Enright will be the pastor and will superintend the construction of the buildings. Our people are all pleased that Father Enright has been appointed to servo the Parish. He is a good, energetic and enter prising man and will no doubt lend a helping hand to the building up of our town. He admires a church member regardless of creed. We all welcome Father Enright in our midst. The site for the church has not as yet been decided upon, although a move was made in this direction by Father Enright and interested parties of Laporte, on Thursday of last week. Two locations were favorably spoken of by the com mittee. They were, the Dainy lots on West Cherry street and Friendly Hill, on Park street near A. J. Hackley's. The buildings will cost from six to eight thousand dollars. We are pleased to be able to con gratulate Mrs. Fries, of Laporte borough, widow of Jacob Fries, who died on Jan. 14 th last, and who was an honorably discharged soldier from the lato war, of the prompt j acknowledgement of her claims for a pension for herself, as a soldier's widow, and for her five minor children, by the authorities at Wash ington. Attorney H. T. Downs, who took up and prosecuted this claim, only filed the final papers therein on ! the OiU of Feb. last, and ou the 2Gta j iust, he was notified by the Pension Bureau that the claim had been favorably acted upon and a pension granted thereon on the 14th inst. This was a most deserving claim, j and the benefit of the pension will j be of great moment to the widow and minor children. Mrs. Fries will henceforth draw, from Feb. Oth, 1894, slß.Ou per month from Uncle j Sam's beneficiary fund for his old; soldiers; this being $8 00 per month for herself as a soldier's widow, and $2.00 per month each for her five minor children. A cow grazing along the railroad , track near Lake Mokoma, was slight ly struck by the passenger engine on Tuesday morning. Would'nt it lie advisable for our people to hire t the services of a boy to keep thw cattle oil the track in tho vicinity of Lake Mokoma? Surely if there is'ut some provision made in this! direction, we can expect a general j slaughter of cattle along the railroad ! cuts in the vicinity of the lake, this ; summer. LATER.—A move ban been made to putin foice the above sugges tions. We, and others, think the proper way of raising the amount of cash necessary will ke to assess so much per head on stock, hence the more stock you have the more you contribute. The directors of the Lake Moko tna Land Company met in Williams port on Saturday last for the pur pose of planning improvements at Lake Mokoma. The meeting was all harmony. The Williams port parties concerned, conceding the fact that our people were in a more favorable position to know what improvements on the property will pay best for the Company. It was voted that a picnic ground on the south cast borders of the lake shall be cleared at once and that a steam boat to cost twelve hundred dollars be placed on the lake on the opening of the season. Judge Ing ham, Hon. E. M. Dunham and Hon. KIISHCI Kanis the Laporte directors, were given the authority of order ing the boat, and in accord ance made the order of a (Jeneva party on Tuesday.
