A special from Hornell to Port
Jervis states that the talk there is
that the 'Erie Railroad cpmpany is to
move Its car repair shops from Buf
falo to Hornell. This report is neith
er denied nor confirmed and the mat
ter lacks the official stamp. The
rumor has it that the company will
use the old ice houses along Depot
street, Hornell, which will be empty
within a few months. The reason
for tho chango is given that tho re
moval of the shops to that city
would do away with the long hauls
which are now necessary to get the
broken cars to Buffalo and return.
It is charmingly frank of Miss
Marjorie Murry, the winsome
"Bunty" in "Bunty Pulls the
Strings" which comes to the Lyric

carefully her age during the cor
respondence between William A.
Brady, who was In New York, and
Miss Murry, who was in her home
in Edinburgh, Scotland, in writing of
the parts she had played. Miss
Murry is one of tho great actresses
and the Lyric should be crowded on
Wednesday night. Order your seats
in advance for this high class pro
duction. "Will It come to pass In Penn-(
sylvania that men may not say to
each other, in the classic language of
the governors of the Carollnas, 'Have

to the lips of the state house of rep
resentatives yesterday when Horace
B. Dunn, of Huntingdon county, of
fered a bill which would make It a
crime for any person holding a liq
uor license to treat another to a
cocktail or even a plain "short
beer." According to the terms of
this bill it would cost a man a fine
of from $500 to $5,000 should he
in a moment of liquid generosity
"buy ' for a companion before the
bar or around tho cafo table. But
tho 'fine is not the only thing. Oh,
no! A nice little sojourn from ninety
days to twelve months In jail would
go right along with tho other "fine."

Officials of tho operating department
of tho Delaware & Hudson company
are preparing to carry out the or
ders. The Pennsylvania electors who
drew three days' pay for going to

should not be quite so thin skinned.
It is all a part of tho game. If

they will learn that they will get

The particular objection urged
against American pianos in the
tropics Is that they are not adapted
to the climatic conditions there and
rapidly deteriorate. Commercial sta
tistics of the United States show
that .while the export of American
pianos has tripled in the last nine
years that of piano players, organs
and other musical Instruments ex
cept phonographs has declined.

An old gun, ploughed up last
spring by J. H. Freas, of Brier
Creek, went off Thursday of last
week when Thomas Sltler, one of
the men helping Freas to butcher
stirred the fire with the muzzle.
The shot tore over Sitler's head,
knocking his hat off. A moment
before one of the other butchers
passed right in front of tho point of
the barrel. That the gun was load
ed was a surprise. When It was dug
up the stock and hammer was gone
from rust and decay, but tho gun
was kept to stir tho fire. The heat
caused tho load to go off. It is be
lieved tho gun must have been in
the ground at least fifty years.
A special from New Haven,
Conn., says: It won't be the fault of
the Orange bank officers if the native
boys and girls of Orange henceforth
do not turn out to be Rockfellers or
Morgans or at least good money
savers. At the annual meeting of
the directors recently it was voted
to give all children born within the
limits of the town, which Includes
West Haven, ibank books, with a dol
lar to their credit. The scheme was
conceived by Watson S. Woodruff,
president of the institution, and not
a director opposed It. George M.
More, treasurer, was instructed to
use the official return of births as
his guide and to forward a bank book
to the parents.

ty finances will bo made out. So
far the books show a balance In tho
treasury of about $22,000 as com
pared with $15,000 last year. Tho
expenses this year wero less than tho
year before by about $8,000. Tho
sheep claims paid during 1911 wero
$2,462. So as compared with $1,422
during the past twolvo months.
There seems to have been a record
made for, economy in all departments
of tho county government during the
year 1912.
