Lehigh Valley Coal Train
Takes Lively Sprint.
On Saturday afternoon a coal
train 011 the Bernice Branch of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad covered
several miles of rack in about as
many minutes. A short distance
below Satterfield near the horse
shoe curve the train began to gain
speed owing to defective air brake
connections and in a short time
was going at a teritlic pace. Brake
men in the caboose endeavored -to
crawl over the cars to set the
wheel brakes but were unable to
do so. Before the Dushore trestle
was reached the caboose was cut
loose from the rest of the train
which in a short time had gone
from sight, tearing across the
trestle at about 45 miles an hour.
A short distance below Dushore the
train was again brought under con
trol and no damage resulted from
the wild trip.
The Celebration.
The glorious Fourth of July
celebration in Laporte was a de
cided success despite the fact that j
the new power boat was not afloat |
on its maiden journey owing to
the fact that the engine did not
arrive in time to be installed.
The parade and exercises in the
high school auditorium were car- '
ried Out in a very creditable man
ner by the participants, in the
fore-noou. „ The afternoon was
given to sports at the lake and a
base ball game on the athletic
grounds between Hughesville and
Laporte. which resulted very dis
asterously to the Laporte .iin,
the score being 10 to 1 iu favor of
Hughesville. Still the game had
many good plays that kept the in
terest of the onlookers. (
All day the bathing beach was ,
crowded with those who sought
comfort in the waters of Lake .
Mokoma and the lake itself was
well covered with row boats and (
canoes. The big merry-go-round j
furnished amusements , for both ]
young and old and those who pre- j
ferred dancing were welcomed to \
the dance paviliou by a good ]
orchestra. The Hughesville band j
furnished creditable music both at \
the lake and in Laporte. The dis- J
play of fire works at the lake in J
the evening was very liberal and j
of good variety. J
Taking everything into consider- J
ation the celebration was a credit J
to the Lake Mokoma Company j
and others who worked to make it \
a success and it can be truthfully J
asserted that, those who came to J
Laporte for a good outing and en- j
joy able Fourth on the mountain j
top, were given more than the \
worth of their time and money. j

Must Pay For Paper
Taking a paper out of the post
oflice makes the recipient liable for
the bill. O. D. Austin, a Butler
(Mo.") publisher, sent his paper to
Charles Burge. The latter paid
for it twice and then refused to
pay again. He said be ordered it
stopped. But the court of appeals
holds that mere acceptance of the
paper created a liability. It adds:
"The preparation and publi
cation of a newspaper involves
much mental and physical labor as
well as outlay of money. One
who accepts the paper by con
tinuously taking it from the post
office receives a benefit and pleas
ure arising from such labor and ex
penditure as full}' as if he ap
propriated any other product of an
other's labor, and by such act he
must be held liable for the sub
scription price."
C. Walter Haas of Williamsport,
representing the F. P. Light and
Heat Company, was in Laporte
part of the week.
