that no inquest will be held in the
matter of the recent fatal railroad
wreck on the Lehigh Valley Railroad

tine investigation was held, but it has
been learned that it was at the New

were not able to be present, but the
train dispatcher and the telegraph op.

The concert given here by the
Lotus Glee Club on Nov. 3rd, OPEN
ing the Union Lecture Course, was
a great success. Every seat was
sold fifteen minutes before the con-
cert commenced, and besides the
many who stood during the concert,
scores of people went away for
want of room. The concert was
worthy of the audience. The sing
ing of the Club, both as a quartet
and in solos, was beautiful the Sc
lections of high order and finely
rendered. Every number on the
entire programme was encored, and
the entertainment is pronounced by
our people as 1.-The best concert we
have ever had in town. w. L.

The Fence Law.

Thomas J. Edge, State Secretary
of Agriculture, in reply to a question
in reference to fence laws in this
State, says: "The Act of March II,
IS42, is very clear in its provisions as
to maintaining line fences. In all
cases where the land is or has been
"improved" " they must be erected
and maintained at the joint expense
of the adjacent land owners. If one
owns improved land adjoining the
woodland of neighbor, then that
ueighbor cannot be compelled to
maintain any share of the fence, be-
cause the land (woodland) is not " i'm
proved land within the meaning OF
the Act.
