Some Road Law.

The Supreme Court states that the Super
Yisors have no right to let objects that are
well known to be likely TO frighten well
broken roadworthy horses to remain upon
the highway after such have been brought
to their notice or have remained long
enough TO imply notice, and that such OBJ
jects are treated as defects in the highway
for which the township may be held re-
sponsible. While there is no doubt that
the owner Of property abutting on road
or street has the right TO use the highway
for reasonable length of time for loading
or unloading lumber, coal and supplies, or
building materials, they have no right to
do so for an unreasonable time, nor can
they convert public road in to a lumber
yard. II is no answer to party injured
! for the public authorities 10 say that he
can have this action against the private
party causing the nuisance, as the party
injured has right TO proceed against the
public authority or against the Individual
as he may choose.

A Victory for Our Club.

The first League game in this county wac
played between the Lehighton and East
Mauch Chunk clubs on the latter's grounds,
last Saturday afternoon. Five or six hun
dred people were present to witness what
proved to be an uninteresting and lnuchly
one-sided game. The only feature of the
game was the Lehighton battery, Brink
man and Reichard, who did some excellent
and effective work; the fielders and base
men of our club had no opportunity to show
their ability, though at the bat they con-
clusiyely developed the fact that they all
were heavy batters. The Lehighton club
is unusually strong this year, the acquisl-
ton of Smith, Rehrig, Albright and Yenser
giving 1t extra stability. Theil big battle
will come off on Saturday afternoon, when
their mettle will be tried severely. We
append the score for the benefit of those
who could not see the game at East Mauct
Chunk:

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON
Thinks 100000 Men Would be
Unable to Take London by Surprise.

| LONDON, June IL.
| In commons today, Lord George Hamilton
| first Lord of the Admiralty stated that cal
culations made in regard to the number of
| transports necessary to enable l00, 900 men to
land in England and seize London by surprise
took into consideration the only conditions
that such feat was possible, that the whole
army could disembark simultaneously and
when landed would be capable of rapid
movement, estimated that ships with gross
tonnage of $4,000. would be required for
Transporting the invading force he said.
Hanbury asked whether the naval aud mil
itary departments had been consulted on the
subject.
Hamilton replied that data had been OBJ
tained thirteen years ago as the result of the
joint conference, and promised to produce
those of the transport department. which sat
isfied him that the tonnage referred to did
not over estimate the preparation necessary
for the landing of such force. Such an
invading force from the continent, he con
tinued. implied distribution of the invaders
in ports hundreds of miles apart, with sue
cessful voyage of not less than week, in
stead of few hours, and made without oppo-
sition from the hostile fleet
w. ii. Smith first lord of tie treasury,
announced that the government would pro-
coed with licensing clauses in the local gov
ernment bill,
Balfour, in replying to Gladstone, declined
o put ON the table the evidence on which the
convictions for boycotting were obtained,
and said the ends of justice were amply Sc
cured through the superior courts, while the
evils Of bOycotting would be seriously aggra-
waited by publicity. (Cries of hear, hear.)
