Wednesday and Thursday were spent in Conoy township. On Wed- nesday, the superintendent was ac- companied by L. B. Herr. Conoy has been coming to the front in im- provements. With one exception, all the buildings are attractive in the interior. During vacation, the Ebersole and the Stevens buildings were repapered and painted, so that now the houses are beautiful in the interior. The old desks were scraped and varnished and they look like new. At the Wickersham building, a modern heating plant was in- stalled. The township school at Bain- bridge numbers twenty-nine and is doing excellent work. Some very good teaching was found in a num- ber of the schools of the district. Four members of the board ac- companied Dr. Fleisher. Friday found the superintendent in the extreme northern section of Rapho township.

We have been receiving our even- ing mail, that is first-class, on the 6:55 train which does not stop here and every few days a mail bag and its contents were cut to pieces be- cause the trainman despatching the pouch could not see the mail chute on account of darkness. We would then receive the balance of an even- ing mail on No. 5575 which stops here at 7:02. A new arrangement went into ef- fect here Monday whereby all mail west in the evening will be received on the 7:02 train which stops. The thru train at 6:55 will however take all first-class or catch mail as here- tofore and the balance of the mail will be sent on the train stopping here. This, we feel certain, will be far more satisfactory. Another new feature inaugurated by Postmaster Freed is the fact that the post office will remain open every evening until 7:45 p. m. This will be a great accommodation to the patrons. The post office is opened daily at 6 a. m. same as it was during Postmaster Fenstermacher’s term, but many are not aware of this fact. The post office hours on legal holi- days are as follows 6 to 8:30 a. m. and 5:30 to 7:45 p. m.

He was taken to the Harrisburg Hospital and has not regained consciousness. His skull is fractured and his condition is eritical. Friel came to Lancaster after at- tending a foot ball game at Harris- burg in the afternoon. When he left Harrisburg he had but a small sum of money on his person, also a watch and his railroad pass. He is employed by the Pennsylvania railroad as a machinist. No evidence is obtainable to show that he was the victim of thugs. The clothing bore no signs of his having fallen off a train, nor were there any marks around the place where he was found to indicate a struggle. The young man’s clothing was torn only at one knee, according to the Harris- burg authorities, which leads to the belief that he was knocked down and had struggled with assailants before receiving the blow which rendered him unconscious. The Harrisburg police are working on the theory that he was robbed in Lancaster and then brought to the point where he was found by the autoists. Only seven cents were in his pockets when searched at the hos- pital. tn Ii HONORS HER GUEST Christ Garber Entertains im Honor of Her Sister Mrs. Mrs. Christ Garber on New Haven street, of this place, entertained a number of young people in honor of her sister Miss Fannie Kline of Flor- in.
