Not Cheap Riding.

Riding on railroad cars without paying
fare is not always profitable or amusing says
one of our contemporaries. The act of AS
sembly making it . penal offense to ride on
railroad ears, passenger or freight, without
paying fare, says that every person so of.
Tending shall forfeit and pay a penalty Of
not less than So nor more than SIS, which
penalty shall be paid to the treasurer OF the
school district in which said oHense was
committed, for the use Of said district, and
such person so convicted shall be committed
10 the county jall Of such county for per-
i"d not exceeding ten days; and if the per-
son so convicted refuses or neglects tn pay
such penalty and costs Immediately, then
the said magistrate, alderman orlustice shall
commit the person SO convicted to the jaIl
of the county wherein the oflense was con
mitted for further period not exceeding
ten days

An Explanation
To the Editor of the CARBON ADVOCATE.

To the Editor Of the CARBON ADVOCATE:
"Henry KuhtE, Of Slatington, says that
there are over forty Republicans Uf that bOr.
ough who will vote tor Hancock. k."-CARBoN
ADVOCATE.
The above item emanates from the facile
pen of Packerton correspondent, whose
contributions To your paper are eagerly read
and digested. But in this particular instance
there are several inaccuracies which, in jus.
tice to the Republican party aud 10 "IIenry
kuntz,' should not be passed by without
few corrections being made in regard to the
meaning of the information given uh your
correspondent When Mr.. KuntE spoke tn
your correspondent Of the political outlook
in Slatinglon, he said that "the Democrats
would poll forty votes more than at previous
elections" but he had no idea that his intei.
viewer would 50 construe his remarks as to
take for granted the erroneous idea that IN 8
gain should cume from the ranks OF the
Republicans, but that IL might result from
several sources, Viz young men who would
east their first ballot as Democrats, Greer >
hackers, and lastly choppers" from the :
/ publican part OF dough faces" as their
strict Republican friends choose in the elt-
/ gancY OF their speech to term them. Now,
another worl ia respect tO the Henry Kuntz
/ meant IN the above article As there are two
individuals residing in Slalington bearing
this name,-one, Henry kuntz, the other,
/ Henry A. Kunlz, aud as the gentleman
bearing the first name is entirely innocent
! in everything pertaining 10 the reported con
versalion, il is no more than justice 10 say
that Henry A. kuntz, is the person who
| furnished the "politieal statistics" TO your
correspondent. Mr. II. Kuntz has been
made TO suffer wrongfully from his political
| opponents, hence these remarks are made

sad Accident at VYeatheriy.

Jesse Curcorun, bright little lad of about
ten wears, was killed near the water tank ,at
Weatherly Monday afternoon, He return
ed home from school and told his grand
mother he was going to pick coal. So far as
we were able to learn. he and some other
boys amused themselves by starting cars IN
the siding near the water station for the
purpose of getting short rides. While thus
engaged he was thrown across the rail when
the wheels crushed his head causing instant
death. We extend our sympnthies to the
bereaved family, and trust the sad accident t
may prove a sautary warning To the many
boys who so much frequent the railroad

the owner is entitled 10 recover actual dam
ages for such trespass. Where the sign

trespaSses upon lands 30 guarded is liable
not only to pay the actual damages, but also
