and carried down the stream by the great
force of the current A force of men were
promptly put to work when the accident
became known and the structure readjust-

to the early train
A WORTHLESS whclp of the tramp per-
suasisn was allowed to do just about as he
pleased, Monday evening last, and all ow-
ing to the fact that we had no place to in
carccrate such men as he. This is another
evidence Of the necessity of a good strong
lock mp in our boro' and also whipping

happily the council have seen fit to ncgo-
tiate for the building Of lock up and soon
we will h5ve one and then our streets will

s,itutc all the live men Of our town we
need have no fear Of this demonstration
not being the most brilliant and interesting
ever witnessed. All that is needed now is
a little necessary forthwith topay all CON
tingcnt expenses and the affair will be Il
success in every respect. Now don't rut

tract with b. & O. r. r., for three of their
that city to Philadelphia sometime be,
tween the LIST and 10th of June. The cars
arc for the exclusive use of people from
this county. Would it not be n good idea
for some energetic persons about this place
