RAILROAD DEPOT INCIDENTS Schemes to Escapo the Olutohes of tho Tax Collector How Thoy are Operated and Fall. I1E first thing the Polish, ilungari nand Lithuanian pooplo think of when" thoy mako up their minds to leave this place is of some' mans by which they may got away without en countering tho tax collector. Sorao of tho schemes aro very ingenious enough to reflect credit on a Jay Gould, but a largo percentage of them fail. The old dodgo of sending tho baggage to Brownsville and Yatesville by wagon, whllo the owner buys his ticket and boards the train at Shenandoah has long since been played out. A friend fathering a trunk at tho depot and showing his tax receipt to tho collector, whilo the roal owner of the trunk was waiting to board the train at Yatesvillo was also a good trick, but this has also outlived its useful ness. This morning a woll known young Polish woman tried a now schoma. She presented a ticket to Baggagomaster Golden at the depot and had a trunk checked. She then passed tho ticket and check to ono of a group of Hungarians who stood at one end of tho platform and they were ovontually passed around to the man to whom they belonged and who owned tho trunk. The train pulled up to the depot and the trunk was placed, on it. The owner also boarded the train and his group of friends wore laughing and ex changing remarks in the native tonguo over the clever manner in which the young woman had helped to trick tho tax collector when a party who understood tbo language gave the collector a tip. Just before the train pulled out tbo collector and 0. & I. Policeman Shirey placed tbo departing man under arrest. Ho was takon up town, while bis trunk wont on to New York. The facos of the friends on the depot platform wore amusing. The expressions partook of surprise and dis couragement. Tho boot didn't fit well on the otbor foot. Tho Hungarian was al lowed to depart on tho noon train after settling with tho tax collector. V There was another incident at the Lehigh Valley depot this morning of quite a different character. It was a caso of a narrow escape from loss of life on .the rail road, due to tho recklessness of drivers. As the 0:08 east bound passenger train was approaching Ui9 cut west of the depot two men in butcher wagons driving In opposite directions whipped up their horses and drove on to the crossing before the gates could bo lowered. Seolng tho butcher wagons make tbo dash, tho drivor in charge on a coach containing a wedding party bound for tho Polish Catholic church whipped up his horses. The train was now near at hand and the gatoman was power less to act. The enginoer reversed his engine and ran upon tho crossing just as the carriage cleared the track. Such reckless drivers should bo punished in some manner. ... The jumping jack who acts as local correspondent for one of the Pottsvillo papers should not let every Tom-Bick-and- Harry run him up and down the stick. The party who told him that "Harry" wrote the Pastime. Park article imposed upon him. ... There are little, hopes of the company store system being Investigated unless the Herald undortakos tbo work single handed. If the Beading Company wishes to get at the bottom of the matter it must deputize outside parties for the work, and be sure to not have any brass band accom paniment. The rain last evening was a God send. As a result, the. streets had a clean and fresh appearance. A few more falls of the kind will soon end the drouth, if it Is not already ended. Tho hot weather his no effect on railroad travel and the companies aro making no complaints. Tho Evangelical camp meeting, which was recently hold at Lakeside, was a most successful and gratifying success and the mombers of that association aro not sorry thoy selected that place. They should own tho grounds and oroct suitable- buildings on thom before the next mooting, ... Farmers who came into town this morn ing were all smiles. Tho hoavy rains last evening win tho causo. It was badly needed to save their crops. Pkter. I TAMA QUA TOPICS. An Interesting midget From a Wide Aiviike Correspondent. Editor Harris, of the Courier, who wa rocently notified that ho had becomo be r to- a fortune of $70,000 by tho death of an aunt In England, left horo to-day for that country to havo tbo estate settled. Editor Hirsh, of tho Recorder, was not quite as fortunate as Editor Harri ihls week. Last weok Hirsh published unsavory reports concerning a morry go-round that was here. Tho pro prietor of tbo carousal called upon Hirsli with the intention of annihilating him The editor stood his ground and brought tho irate proprietor down off his high horse with the aid of a base ball bat. Tho hot spell had a disastrous effect here The death roll for the week is a largo one and many of tho deaths aro attributed to the heat. Two of tho oldest residents ol the town died on Monday. Ono was Mrs Hannah Adams, who had reached tho ripe old ago of 92 years. Tho lady was familiarly known as Granny Adams. The other was Nathan Houser. Ho was 77 years of age and had boon a cripple and invalid for years. Apoplexy was tho direct causo of death. Mr. Houser lived on Butch Hill. Ono of his sons, Bavid, is employed as engineer on the Lohigh Valley railroad and resides at-Belano. Mrs. Hold'in Chester and Charles Allen, matiager of the opera ho'use, fell victims of tho heat. Mrs. Chester died, but Mr. Allen has recovered. Among the deaths of tho week were those of Louis Buebler and Mrs. Balzar Oschman, Mr Buehlor was tho proprietor of the Union Flour Mill. He died sud denly in a chair in tho mill office. He was found there by Baniot Hitler, a 14-year-old boy, Mr, Buehler was nearly 80 yoars of ago. He was wealthy at ono tlmo, but died a poor man. Mrs. Oschman was 67 yean of age and died of dropsy and a complication of dis eases. Four daughters and two sons sur vivo her. John Jones has given up his residence on Hunter street and has moved his family to "Williamsport, where he will secure a posi tion that will be more lucrative than the one ho held hero. Miss Jennie Bauer, of Trenton, N. J., and Mrs. B. Scadder, of Now Brunswick, N. J., havo come to town to spend several weeks as the guests of Mrs, George Bauer. A number of our townsmen have made arrangements by which they will spend their vacations very pleasantly. They are camping out on Shindle's farm, at Barnes villo. Among tho campers are Harry Silliman, Ban Shepp, Lou Hadesty, John Brooksland Fry Shindle. Boubleday Post, No. 189, G. A.

They received a hearty welcomo at the hands of their relatives and friends. O. HERE AND THERE. Interesting Items Concerning Different Sections of the itoglon. A new fire company has been organized at Summit Hill with thirty-sovon members, and thirty additional names on the list. All but about CO of the 200 or more Ital ians employed on tho now Reading-Lancaster & Baltimore Bailroad, who have not been paid for six weeks, havo left Beading to seek work elsewhere, with the promise to return when their money comes. Some of tho bonds of the mad have been taken to London, and cablegram advices say that the English stockholders will provide tbo cash at onco. The Allentown and Bethlehem electric railroad has forty-nine care in Bervice and they are run over the road as near to each other as is compatible with safoty. People prophesied when tbo road was first built that it would never pay. The girls of the telephone exchanges who eay "Hello 1" when you ring tho telephone bell aro likely soon to be "out of a job." An electrician named Stromeer has invented an automatic switchboard which he says will do the connecting without the help of the girls. The Shamokln teamsters have formed a protective association. At Gowen, a rattlesnake wriggled its way Into a presumably empty beor keg. Tho keg became the snake's tomb, as tbo dregs of beer'killed it. Some Hungarians afterwards partook of the (tale beer, and aro now very sick men. Things have reached such a pass in Hazleton, says the Hazleton Sentinel, that whenevor tho constables eeo tbo Hungarian orcbostra starting out with their Instru ments they immediately fill out warrants, leaving the name blank.
