modelling the NJ. L. church were
opened by the committee last week,
and exceeded the estimated cost to
the extent of about $4,000. What
the next step will be has has not yet
developed.

mont on Monday to provide for the
issuing of bonds for $50, 900, SIS, 900
for sewerage and SIS, 900 for the ex-
tention of the water works, carried
by more than the three-fifths majority
required by law.

the beginning of the hay harvest hut
it is not believed that much damage
has been done to the crop. The hay
like all other crops this year is very
good one and as it commands a good
price the farmers are feeling pretty
good oyey it.
The corps of surveyors on the new
location of the Cheat river railroad
have reached Albrightsville on their
way up. They will have some dirt
and stone removed near there to get
an estimate of the cost of the work.
Many people are very sanguine that
the road will be completed at an
early date.
J. w. WILEs is still busy adding to
his collection of natural history curl
osities and on Monday added several
snakes to the collection. The
snakes, which were quite large, were
three in number, two copperheads
and RATHER. They are probably
little less liable to be stolen than the
young foxes. The menagerie is get
ting to be quite an extensive one and
is well worth trip out to see.
On our first page is list Of the
entertainments secured to this date
by Manager Somehow for the com
ing season at the Opera House.
Theater goers can judge from this of
the way our people will be enter
tanned in that line during the win

number of well known companies
have propositions in his hands for
consideration and the best of them
will be selected.

THE new Pittsburg- Morgantown
packet line began business last We'd
nesday, the first boat coming in at II
O'Clock in the evening. The compe-
tition has already induced the regular
line to cut to SO. so for the round trip,
including meals, and further reduc-
tions are looked for. The pew boat
men say that they do not intend to
cut below the old line but they ex-
pect to meet every and all cuts which
they may make The new line runs
nearly on schedule time arriving here
as a general thing about two hours
late. The trip being nearly all in
daylight will likely prove popular
one.
SATURDAY night well loaded pa
triot was pinched after becoming too
hilarious on the streets and placed In
the bastile for rest and reflection.
He soon sell asleep and the vigilant
cop resumed his rounds. Soon after
another victim was apprehended.
The cop was given directions where to
put him, but in the dark went into
the wrong room. The second man
fell on the bed which was occupied by
the first nervous prostration individ-
ual He became very much incensed
at being thus rudely awakened from
his slumbers and put in a vigor-
Gus kick, winding up by saying "This
hotel must be mighty populor re-
sort when they have to put two In a
bed"
THE numerous excursions which
come up the river all visit the jail
during the course of sight seeing.
Sometimes Sheriff Garrison is busy
and he, after taking them into the
jail, asks Musgraye to show the visi-
tors around. Musgrave seems very
much delighted to perform this SER
vice and takes great pains to show
the sight seers everything. When
they get through the question is
asked, "But where are the prisoners?"
''Oh," David replies, 'sI'm the priso-
ner.' Then there is surprise all
round. He seems to be quite we'll
content but gets very lonely while no
other prisoners are incarcerated with
him and is very much pleased when
others are put in, at the prospect of
having company.
