/That Runaway.
Ot all ti stories that are afloat
since that runaway on Saturday
evening, The truth of the matter
is, that I. C. Schock and several
members of his family came driving
up the pike east of town, when one
of the single trees broke. Both
Morses vere trotting along leisurely
at{ that ime. Wken that occurred,
thie pol fell from the neck-yoke
arid the sther single tree broke, free-
” ing bothhorsew from the vehicle. In
an ihstaty the driver dropped the
lins, and the horses ran to town,
arrivicg at the stable, not even
sweated.
On Morday morning the North
American contained a dispatch from
Mount Joy stating that as the pike
is along the railroad and a train
happened to come along at the time
scaring both horses, they ran to
town, ahead of the train, being al-
most exhausted upon their arriv:l
at the stable.
Monday evening one of the Lan-
caster papers, in giving the same
item, said that the horses got on the
railroad and ran to town ahead of a
train,

Series of Bible Readings.
The Y. M. C. A. has secured the
services of J. H. McConkey to hold
a series of Bible readings, the first
of which was held in the Bethel of
the Charch of God on Sunday after-
noon. His subject was “Prayer”
and the service was a very interest—
ing and helpful one and very much
enjoyed by all. The second meet-
ing of the series will be held on
Sunday afternoon at three o'clock
in the Presbyterian church. A cor-
dial invitation is extended to all.
Mr. McConkey has given bible read-
ings at various Y. M. C. A. State
Conyentions and at the Bible Con-
ference at Eaglesmere. He is the
author of several books on the Holy
Spirit, which have had a large ecir-
lation. He is very much sought
after, having conducted services in
many of the large cities of this
country and Canada, and to haye
the opportunity of hearing him, is a
rare privilege.

MOUNT JOY PAPER
ANCIENT HISTORY
A Few Things About Qur Town Many Years
Ago. :
The town of Mount Joy, the east
end, then known as Rohrerstown,
was laid out by Jacob Rohrer in
1812 and the lots disposed of by
lottery. The west end of the pres—
ent borough was knc wn as Richland
or the Cross Roads. The old hotel,
destroyed by fire in 1868, which
used to occupy the vacant lot cor-
ner of West Main and New Hayen
streets, was a wel known point for
many years before the town was
laid out. It was known as the Cross
Keys, and ona large swinging sign
on the corner the crossed keys were
painted. It is said that in the early
days this point was known in Ire-
land as the three crosses ; the cross
keys, the cross roads and the cross
land lady. The shades do not echo
forth the name of the latter cross.
The central part of the present
borough used to be known as
“Walleckshtettle’’—Wallecktown——
and some of our older citizens re-.
member when there was a pond in
this part of the town, about where
the Bethel of the Church of God now
is, with stepping stones which were
always used by pedestrians along
that point after heavy rains. After
houses were built along Main street
and some filling up done, the water
did not stand on Main street at this
point but gathered at “Lake Delta”
where the depot now is.
graded in such a manner that the
water that used to settle at “Lake
Delta” was carried to Main street.
After a sudden violent rain storm
the old pond formed m front of the
church and for a half square on Main
and many cellars in that vicinity
to Delta and turned the water from
gutters into the lower land there.
Jacob Rohrer, who laid out the
town, is buried in the Henry Eberle
cemetery.
