charged by the animal. and tripping over
the rope with which it was being held,
fell and broke his DOLLAR bone. Luckily
the animal was horRless, and futher than
the fracture of the bone was not seriously
Injured. Had it been other ise he would
probably have been very seriously If not
fatally hurt. The local doctors being
unable to give the fracture proper atten-
tion he was taken to the Jefferson Hospi-
tai, Philadelphia, where the bone was
reset, and the arm fastened securely in
place, until the bone shall have . chance
to knit.
Mr.. H. D. Orompton is the posseasor of
a GraphophOne outfit and when business
at Summerill's store becomes dull and
the weather is particularly threatening or
disagreesble, the Graphophone is pressed
into service, and as some of the visitors
seem to think, continuous performance
Is given, as every new arrival must of
course hear those which were given before
he arrived, and but few of the audience
seem inclined to depart One man arrived
nine 10 the morning and did not leave till
four in the afternoon, and would pro-
baby have been there yet, II friend had
not bundled him into his wagon and
taken him home. One man was so de-
exchange for the machine.
The regular meeting Of the Borough
Council was held at eight O'Clock Tues

and Mayor Summerill, who was appoint
ed delegate to the meeting of the
representatives OF the various Boroughs
of the State 10 the interest of revision
of existing Borough Laws, reported that
he had attended q meeting Of the dele
gates at Trenton on 18th, and that about
twenty Boroughs were represented. that
bill had been drafted which was de.
signed to meet all the wants Of borougbs,
to supply deficiencies where existing laws
were now lacking, and among other pro-
visions aimedto give Boroughs the control
of the License system though the COun
oils. An assessment of $10 was ordered
to be made on all Boroughs to meet the
expenses of this work, but which will OF
course be subject to the various Borough
Councils No action was taken by the
Council.
Last Monday night two Of Mr.. w. F.
Yeager's children were playing with a
ball in the sitting room of his residence
The ball rolled under the couch, and not
being able to find it, they secured match
and lit it look for the ball. In holding 1t
under the couch the fringe caught fire,
and soon there was quite little blaze.
and when Mr.. Yeager, with some OF his
customers, rushed into the room, it was
full of smoke, but they succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the fire before it gained much
headway. The damage done was only
about $15 90, which the insurance com
pany gladly pay, thankful that it Is nc
worse. A heavy wind was blowing that
night, and it is exceedingly fortunate thai
the flre did not gain any headway, or 9
good portion of the town would have been
seriously threatened. This brings the
matter of fire protection home to tht
residents again with greater force, and
makes the would-be political management
which is responsible for there having
been no steps as yet .aken in this matter
appear in its true light.
