$Io2.25, most of which will be alb
sorbed by the expenses. This is a
very satisfactory result considering
that this was the first CONCERT of the
society, and the very low price OF
admission.
Much credit is due to the pianists
Mrs. ]. K. Miller and Mrs. R. F.
Colley. They have been constant
in their attendance at rehearsals,
and it was a pleasure to sing with
their accompaniments. Both of
them are among the leaders in
musical circles, and their abilities
are frequently in demand on public
occasions. The Society is fortunate
in having two such willing and
skillful pianists.
1t is not likely that much work
will be done until September.
Then it is intended to get as many
new members as possible, and to
take up work preparatory for a pub
lie rehearsal either in November or
January. 1t is intended to have at
least two concerts year.

OARS MUST STOP
Running Across the Bridge Until Road is
Extended.

The Columbia and Montour Elec-
trio Railway Company must cease
running cars across the river bridge
at Catawissa, until their part of the
agreement, that is, the construction
of the road through the town of
Catawissa is fulfilled. According
to the report of commissioner Fish
er made at the meeting ofthe Board
on Monday, the company is running
it's cars across the bridge and allow
ing the car to stand ON the bridge
while passengers are being taken on
or discharged, which is a violation
of the agreement.
As matter of course the Trolley
Company cannot extend the line up
into the town until they obtain the
right to cross the tracks of the
Reading Railway Company. They
can however comply with the other
conditions, namely, lay the track
down along the wing wall so as not
to obstruct the approach to the
bridge, and put down the "felloe"
guards, which are to be made Of
white oak. The clerk was instruct
ed to notify the Trolley Company
to cease operations on the bridge
until these conditions are complied
with.

Decapitated by Car Wheels.

The dead body of Barton Hawk,
of Main township, was found along
the Philadelphia & Reading Rail-
way tracks, a short distance from
Mainville, about seven o'clock
Tuesday morning. The body was
lying face downward, and had evil
dently been pushed from the main
track over on the siding. The head
was completely severed from the
body.
1t was at first feared that murder
had been committed. that after
having been killed and robbed, his
body had been placed upon the rail-
road, for the purpose Of hiding the
crime. Investigation and develop
ments however, seem to indicate
that it was case of determined
suicide.
He had been in i'll health for
several weeks, and frequently dur
ing that time many peculiarities in
hts conduct had been observed.
Only the night before he was dis
covered in tree adjusting chain
to a limb for the purpose of hang
ing himself.
The body was removed to the
home of his parents, and Coroner
B. F. Sharpless Of Catawissa sum-
moned. Mr.. Sharpless went to the
scene, and empanelled a jury, but
no inquest was held. He gathered
and considered the facts and con-
cluded that it was purely case of
self destruction and that an inquest
was unnecessary.
The unfortunate man was twenty
eight years of age. Illness had
either unbalanced his mind, or else,
discouraged him to such an extent,
that life had become burdensome.

The curb-stone market will open

1t is past the usual time for opening
