Constable A. A. Baker, ex-officio
game warden, captured two men
on June 28, having fifty trout un
der six inches in length in their
baskets and promptly brought them
before 'Squire Buschhausen. The
parties pleaded guilty and were
fined SSOO and costs. One man
had twenty-four trout aud the
other twenty-six but they conclud
ed to divide the amount equally
between them. Constable Baker
says the taking of trout under six
inches and taking more than fifty
in one day must be stopped if he
has to spend all his time along the
creeks looking up those violating
the law.
Its over, thank Heavens. This
is one great feature at>out the ever
glorious Fourth. It's glorious to
feel that you have escaped unharm
ed if such has been your good for
tune. When one Itegins dodging
cannon crackers, skyrockets and
stray bullets we do not exactly
know whether we are to light fire
only a few hours or if that kind of
exercise is to continue throughout
eternity or even longer. But it
has been so decreed that annually
we should take our lives and fatal
explosives in our hand and help in
doing more or less thunderous hon
or to the brave mortals who have
died for their country. Our glor
ious Fourth has many times doub
led the list of martyrs on the altar
of liberty. It is grand to thiuk
how cheerfully we lay down our
hard earned dollars and our lives
together for such exhibitions of
patriotism. It is sublime to pic
ture the valor of the brave citizens
who hold explosives in their teeth
and blast out their molars. It is
magnificent to imagine the sensa
tion of the reckless use of fire arms
and explosives at the cost of lives
and liml>B. How inspiring to re
member the thousands who )>ecome
crippled and killed celebrating tlie
glory of our republic. While ora
tors throughout the laud are telling
how these great commonwealths
are being knit closer and closer
together until they are almost as
perfectly organized as a trust the
cannon firecracker is engaged in
tearing these United State and the
inhabitants thereof asunder.
MACII.VAIN—FUNBTON. —Harry J.
Macllvain of Bridgeville, Del.,
and Miss May Rosa Fimston, of
Pa., were united in
marriage in Philadelphia, June
24, 1902, at the P. E. Church of
the Evangelists Catharine, aliove
7th street, by the Rev. C. W.
Robinson.
The wedding was a quiet affair
only the intimate friends of the
contracting parties being present.
The bride, who was given away
by her brother, Wm. H. Fuustou,
looked handsome in a gown of im
ported white organdie trimmed
with lace; with this costume was
worn a large picture hat of white
chiffon; in her hand the bride car
ried a prayer book and a large
bouquet of white roses.
Mrs. Win. Funston, sister-in-law
of the bride, wore a light sat*'
foulard elaltorately trimmed 'J 1

LOPEZ HAD
GREAT TIME,
CELEBBATEB JUBILANTLY ON THE
BIRTHDAY Of OUR COUNTRY.
RECOfiD BREAKING CROWD.
But One Accident Occvred to Mar the
Serenity ot the Occasion. A Vigor
ous, Red-hot Das
With scarcely a cloud in the fiky
to mar the beauty of the glorious
Fourth th«i early morning sun heat
down upon Lopez in all her splen
dor, dressed in gala day of
floating flags, festoons and other
decorations occasioned by the 011-
comming celebration of the nation's
birth day under the auspices of
the Catholic church, which proved
a complete success ami one of the
grandest demonstrations ever held
in that section, the proceeds of
which is to be used for the erection
of a new church at Lopez.
Regular and special trains were
crowded and by noon the town was
thronged with visitors. The day
was full of amusements and was
thoroughly enjoyed, only one acci
dent occuring to mar the pleasures
of the day. The refreshment ser
vers at the licensed places did not
lack in substantial patronage and
considering the size of the crowd it
was the most orderly oue ever seen
on similar occasions. The Lopez
band furnished excellent music
throughout the day. The dancing
in the pavilion was commenced as
early as the lemonade could be sup
plied and so continued to the last,
the floor being quite uncomfortably
crowded by the numbers desiring
to dance. The peanut man across
the street was kept busy at the big
roaster which was a decided indica
tion that there was something do
ing among the folks from the
country. Perspiring attendants at
the ice cream stands in a way dem
onstrated the patronage these places
enjoyed. The News Item also add
ed many new, paid in advance,sub
scribers to its list which is evident
that there was money to burn.
Home of the most noticeable objects
of the day were those loving young
couples who,being away fromjhome
together clung to each other with
hands clasped—now displaying an
interest in eating of a single luina
na, then peering into the heavens
in a vain search for the balloon to
which some urchin had unpretend
ingly called their attention and
which, in fact, did not exist. The
old sports had various games to
coutest among themselves and in
the evening brought a fine display
of tire works which closed the day's
festivities at Lopez.
Terrible Accident to Lopez Boy.
Seven-Year-Old Loses One Eye Through
a Cannon CracKer Explosion.
A severe accident occured on the
Fourth at Lopez by which Henry,
the seven-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry C. McKibbens, was
terribly injured. Some one threw
a dynamite cracker iuto the street
and the boy, thinking that it was
not lighted or that the fuse had
burned out, ran and picked it up
just as it exploded.
The force of the explosion blew
out one eye and badly injured the
other. His nose also was badly
disfigured and his face and arm
painfully burned. He was attend
ed by Dr. Christian and token to
the Wilkesltarre hospital. It is
believed that one eye can be saved.
A large circle of friends sympa
thize with the parents and unfor
tunate lad for such a terrible acci
dent.
