PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD BUL ETiN SUMMER TRIPS AFAR AND NEAR. Summer days are coming fast. Already vacation days are being discussed in the homeland in the office, and in a few weeks the annual exodus to country, seashore and mountain will have been begun.

FOUND WAY TO GETJJHIAP LIGHT The Shamokin and Goal Township Heat, Light and Power company trip ped up six Coal township hotelkeepers in their work of "beating" the light meters recently introduced through out the township. For the past several months the saloonkeepers who have places of busi ness in Springfield aud Marshallton districts of the township, have been defrauding the light company through a simple method introduced there by a fellow who had a knowledge of elec trioity. Up until the introduction of the fraud the hotelmen were paying from iti.oo up per month for the light servioo. Immediately upon the in troduction of the "system" the watts, kilowats and the whatnots in the clock like dials failed to keep up their marathon speed, and the saloonmen were elated when the collootorß came around, read tlie meters and only charged one-sixth of former prices. i However, the electric; light peopla at once became suspicions and at six of the salcons found how the myster ious fluid was being stolon. A copper wire was fastened to the live wire above the meters and attached again below it to another live wire time completing the circuit and famishing a complete lighting system without tho wats, kilowats and other what nots registering in the meters. The company did not cut ofi the light from the places but informed the proprietors of the saloons that they must pay up all legitimate bills pre sented for past months, or stand pro secution on the charges of fraud.

A model houseboat in course of erec tion on the lot of P. G. Baylor, South Dauvllie. is attracting a graat deal of attention. Tho boat which is now ready to launch, is being built by Druggist O. M. Leniger, wliohascon cieved of the idea of spending a sum mer's vacation on the river. As a houseboat it is safe to affirm that the craft has no counterpart on the North branch. It is bnilt along graceful lines, ornate in every feature and is so well appointed that a family could dwell for a month in the house boat aud eujoy all the conveniences accustomed to at home. Tlie boat will with an eight-horse-power gasoline engine.

Waiting for Bass Season, While tlie trout fishermen of the city are scattered far and wide along the banks of celebrated angling streams in various sections of the country, the bass fishermen are eagerly awaiting the opening of the season for oatching this gainey fish. The majority of local anglers are bass fishermen, according to a well-known sportsman. To be a good trout fisherman, this authority says, one must have the time and money to spend several weeks away from his work and visit the streams some distance from the city. Bass fishermen declare that sport just as good as angling for trout, aud say the fish are just as gatuey. The small-mouthed bass Is a gamier fish than the large-mouthed variety, for the same reason that a man doing open-air work Is stronger physically than a man doing clerical work. The small-moutbed bass lives inßwift run ning water, and must be agile to se oure a livelihood, while the large mouthed variety inhabits placid aud untroubled waters. Fish Commission er William E. Meehan, of Harrisburg, says that the law forbidding the use of any net excepting a seine and a dtp net foi shad will be strictly enforced. No shad net is allowed from Satarday noon until Monday morning at six o'clock. Sunday fishing in Pennsyl vania means a fine of s'3o. Fishing for shad,herring or alewife in the interior waters of the State, wfaioh means the Susquehanna river aud the Juniata as far as shad go, with a seine, must pay to the county treasurer a license of SB. Mr. Meehan says that the provisions of the new fish code will be rigidly enforced.

CHILD'S CLOTHING TAKES FIRE The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dietz, Spruce street, was the soene of a Jjshooking ocourrence Friday morn- i ing, when the clothing of their four year-old child, Frank, caught fire and he was so badly burned that he died a few hoars later. The acoident occurred about 7 o'clock during the temporary absence cf the mother. Miss McDermott, who lives on the premises adjoining, heard the terror-stricken screams of the little ohiid in the rear yard and, divining that something unusual must be the matter, hurried over to the neighbor's house. To her dismay she saw that lit- j tie Frank, who was clad in his night gown, was on fire, the flames envelop ing nearly his whole body. Galling loudly for help Miss Mc- Dermott attempted to tear off the , burning clothing. lu the effort she I burned her hands very painfully. Oth ers who gathered on the scene assist ed, but by the time the clothing was removed the child was fatally burned. Nearly every thing on ills body was cousumed with the exception of the j part at the top of the garment known | | as the neckband. ] The child was shockingly burned j | iroro his ohln to his toes, over the! | iireast, abdomen and limbs. His back j J was also terribly burned. An idea of j j the child's injuries may be formed j ] when it is stated that the nails fell off i [ his fingers. I Dr. Paules was calltd, who did ev- ! erything in his power to relieve the j child's suffering, which was most in- j tense. From the first there was slight hope of saving the child's life, as it i was reasonably certain that tie had in- I haled fire. About one o'clock the child died. Although for the first couple of hours he suffered the most excruciating pain, yet after that period he rested com- j paratively easy. It is not knowu how the child's clothes took fire. Mrs. Deitz,the moth er, had just stepped to a neighbor's for milk. She was gone but a few min utes, she explained, and was return ing when she found the neighbors as sembled at her home and the awful spectacle of her child nearly dead as the result of the burning met her eyes. When Mr> Dietz left the house both her children were in bed, presumably asleep. The Inference is that the child I came downstairs and began to play j with the fire and that his night gown ! ignited. Becoming terrified nt the j sight of the flames ho rushed into the backyard, where his screams aroused Miss McDermott. The shocking "calamity Friday cast a gloom all over the uoithern part of town.

The plan de vised bears the stamp of originality and will no doubt work out very well. The canvassers will leave at each house a ciicnlar letter explaining that more money is needed to meet the ex penses of the firemen's convention. The family visited is kindly requested to contribute money to the extent of its ability. Accompanying the circular letter is an envelope addressed to the commit tee, which the contributor is supposed to use in forwarding his contribution to the firemen.

I This aocideut again demonstrates I the unsafe oonditlon of the wood pav- i ing on the driveway of the bridge whenever it rains. During the winter season when the horses are "rough" it is not noticed so much. But during other seasons when the horses are smooth acoidents such as occurred yes terday are likely to happen. When the paving Is dry, the horses can manage to keep a foothold; but It requires only a little rain to make the creo-re sinated blocks as sippery as glass to a smooth horse shoe. At least half a ; dozen valuable horses have been per manently injured by falling on the (bridge. The more serious acoident Fri day] brings the subject home in a way that must make a deep impres sion. The animal that fell Friday was hitched to a two-horse wagon. As it j lost its footing the other horse also i | slipped and fell on top. The result was j | that the large nieta carpal and the two j I small bones of the front, leg on the ) i right side of Che under horse were j | broken, the fracture, as implied, oc- Icnrrlng just above the knee. Veterin- I ariau Kline, who was called, deter j mined the extent of the injury and gave it as his opinion that the horse j would never ba of auy uie and that it I had better be killed. | Owners of horses hold the bridge in j great dread at such times as Fri day. Many are knowu to lead their j horses over the bridge. A well-known j horseman yesterday remarked that he I would rather drive from Danville to i Wasbingtonville than to drive across | the bridge wheu the paving is in the j condition that it was in during yes • terday. It Is suggested that a coat cf ] coal tar be applied to the oreo-resln ; ated blocks aud ou this sharp sand or (similar material ba sprinkled in order |to give the horses a foothold in all ; kinds of w .-<1 ler. *0 DECEPTIVE I Many Danville People hall to Re alize the Seriousness.

ON** CONVENIENCE OF THE RURAL TINE A cool headed farmer's wife, who 1 j knew enough to rush to the telephone while her husband was exchanging • j pistol shots with two horse thieves -1 near his barn, aroused a posse that ' I ohased the strangers away and per haps saved the farmer's life. This lit - tie incident, a striking demonstration • of the usefulness of the rural 'phone, ' occurred Sunday, May 16th, at Union Corners,near East Chester,N. Y. John Gruber, a wealthy farmer,grabbed his revolver when he heard noises outside and opened tire on the intruders he j saw in his yard. Mr. Gruber owns r some valuable trotters,and ha:l already 1 been aroused by the frequency of horso 3 thefts in West Chester county. Mrs. p ; Gruber immediately called up Fish i er's hotel. It took very little time for Gustav Fisher to get his shotgun and j collect a posse. The men pursued the thieves, but were unable to catch - them. Luckily the bandits did not hit s Gruber. The farmer says he saw a t trail of blood leading away from bis s barn, and is certain at least one of his t: shots took effect. What would have happened to this farmer anil his wife, , had they not been protected by the , telephone, one can only conjecture. A t bullet would undoubtedly have reach t ed Mr. Gruber but for the timely ar . , rival of the aid summoned over the 112 wire.
