Fish Wardens Will Be Active.

Good trout fishing according to all
streams running through snow bound
sections this will be especially true.
With snow water in the streams, trou t
are not usually frisky, neither is it
natural for bugs to float on the sur
face, and the prematurely appearing
artificial fly or bait is an object of sus-
picion to the game fish. Some of the
open streams which run for miles
through stretches where the April sun
can fall unrestrictedly upon them are
all right for bait fishing, for in these
streams the fish get warmed into ac-
tivity that welcomes the first cast Of a
wriggling worm after winters fast.
With the season now open the vigil
of game wardens throughout this sec
tion of the state will be increased.
Each has been instructed by the offic-
ers of the Sportsmen' association to
be on the lookout for illegal fishing
They have been ordered to arrest any
one caught taking trout Of an illegal
size aud also to take into custody those
detected buying or selling trout.
No game fish can be legally taken
except by rod. hook and line.
Size of trout that may legally be
taken is six inches.
But fifty brook trout can legally be
taken in one day.
1t is illegal to buy, sell or offer for
sale any brook trout.
Trout caught in an illegal manner
must be released alive.

Bucknell Athlete Dead.

Lewis Roberts. one of Bucknell s
all-round athletes, died Of typhoid
fever at Frackville. Roberts was tax =
en- sick about five weeks ago. At first
the attack was thought to be severe
grippe, then light touch of typhoid,
but later the fever took on its worse
form with death as the result. Rob-
erts entered Buoknell from Susque-
hanna, where he was the best athlete
of the school. At Buckuell he played
half back on the football eleven, for
ward on the basket ball team, and
would have played an outfield on the
baseball team. The young man, who
is scarcely in twenty, had q bright
athletic future. Personally he was very
popular and of splendid habits.

Generous Justice at Bloomsbury

Here is a chance for loye-sick swains
who would a-married be-and who
lack the price generally supposed to
be necessary.
In Glenn r. Weiss, Bloomsbury 8
newly elected Justice Of the Peace,
they have a benefactor. the ike of
whom has seldom been seen in this
grasping age.
Mr.. Weiss enters upon his duties as
justice the first of May, and for one
month he agrees to marry, absolutely
free of all cost, any love-sick swains
who will allow him to tie the knot
and he promises, furthermore, to tie it
so effectually that it will take nothing
short of divorce court to unite it.
To the June brides this will come as
crushing blow, for Mr.. Weiss restricts
the time limit to one month, the time
expiring on the first Of June. There
is some talk however, of the Columbia
county girls preparing a petition
which they will present to Mr.. Weiss,
asking that he lengthen the period
from one to two months
1t might be stated. in order that the
girls be not deceived, that in the mat
rimonial art Mr. Weiss is somewhat of
an amateur, and as yet is woefully in
experienced, but he is counting on the
experience of the month to stand him
in good stead on the stormy sea of a
Justices life.
1t is barely possible that he will
furnish free cabs, receptions and a few
other adjuncts to successful MARI
age.

A Merifnrinns Record.

Their record of eighteen successful
semi annual tours shows concIusively
the merits of the Lyman II. Howe
Moving Picture Co, which exhibits
in this city on Monday evening Nc
other similar show has such an endur-
ing record. The reason of this success
is that they have aimed from their
first performance to make the next bet,
ter and they always present more up
to-date and expensive pictures than
any one else dare attempt. They have
continued that plan this year on a still
wider scale than ever before and their
pictures are simply a succession of sur
prises
The improved machine they use this
time is the highest development in the
art and projects the pictures in de-
lightful, satisfactory. elegant and i'm
pressive manner.

The Untoyard Spring.

Warmer weather is promised for the
next couple of days. Planting of crops
in the South aud West has been great
retarded, and business in general
has felt the effects of the backward
Spring After a Winter which for
steadiness and abundance of freezing
weather and snow was unprecedented
the hope of compensation by an early
Spring has faded away. For real re-
suits the late Spring which seems TO
be in store for us is better than the
unduly early one which gets fruit and
tender growths started, to be nipped
by late frost. Last year We had warm
weather in February and March, and
late frosts which destroyed nearly all
the local cherry and peach crops, with
a late cold, wet season greatly delay
ing planting of garden and fields Ac-
cording to the old saws we shall not
have warm and settled weather for a
couple of weeks, but the probabilities
are that when the change does come
vegetation will jump forward and
make up for lost time. A warm rain
is badly needed to start the grass to
growing. We will have to take our
weather as it comes, and so far, while
disagreeable, it is not yet of the kind
that is a severe infiiction.

LAST RITES
PERFORMED

James II. Voris, whose death as the
result of pneumonia occurred in New
York Wednesday, was laid TO rest IN
Fairview cemetery on Saturday after
noon.
The funeral was a very largely attend
ed and impressive one. The deceased
was a member of the Order of Elks
and among the sorrowing friends who
gathered around his bier in addition
to a large circle of relatives were
representation from the lodge of the
order to which he belonged in Perth
Amboy, and a still larger delegation
from Lodge No 754, B. p. O. E., of
this city.
The services were conducted by Rev.
J. E. Hutchinson There is much about
the untimely taking of of James that
is inexpressibly sad. Not only did his
death occur away from home after a
long absence rendered unavoidable by
business pressure, but he was the
Youngest of the family, and the third
son TO die in the brief period OF lit
tie over three years Charles E., the
eldest son, is the only child surviving.
William died on March the Goth, 1901,
and Frank followed in August of the
same year. The clergyman in address
ing the bareaved parents and surviving
brother dwelt very tenderly upon the
sad circumstances and advanced many
beautiful thoughts which carried with
them real comfort and consolation. A

BRAKEMAN'S
COOL HEADED ACT

To be caught i'll railroad collision
and 10 save ones life by jumping is
no doubt an evidence of some presence
of mind 1t remained for p & r.
brakeman, however, who was caught
in wreck at this city Sunday to
display the very acme of cool headed
ness by calmly weighing his chances
of escape as the mjXup thickened
around him and deciding that to cling
to his hold between two cars derailed
would be wiser course than jumping.
The wisdom of his course is we'll borne
out by the fact that he escaped
without a scratch.
The wreck occurred shortly after
noon as three large steel cars, loaded
with soft coal were being pulled over
the switch On the cinder tip to the
Reading Iron Works by the switch en-
gine commonly used for this purpose.
In orded to gain momentum to assist
in ascending the grade ahead the train
as it passed in front Of the convent
was running very fast
When on the crossing at the corner
of Center street and Montour Row
something happened to throw the car
next the engine off the track. Francis
Longenberg5r, brakeman, was be-
tween this car and the one following,
standing on narrow step near the top
of the second car, where he could hold
on to the brake rod These heavy steel
cars are apt TO act very peculiarly in
a wreck, and while they may be bat
tered and bent into almost any shape
they seldom 90 10 pieces. As the sec
ond car in the wreck Sunday crashed
into the first car the latter one was
thrown across the track at right angles,
while the second car flew in an op.
posite direction landing finally i'll
about the same position, the third cal
at the same moment joining the mix
up. The ends of each of the cars were
badly broken and battered while the
cars themselves were torn from their
trucks, but the plucky brakeman, who
had decided to hold on to his post rode
through the disaster uuharmed, al.
though badly shaken up as the cars
came together and jumped the track.
After coolly surveying the wreck he
nj ~, bod 5puD frpr,, iS no rp n and al lon q
with others began to investigate the
Jause of the accident. As to this there
is difference of opinion, some attri.
buting it to spreading of the rails
and others to broken 1ange. The
track for one hundred and fifty feet
was torn up by the accident and had
to be reIaid. The cars were unloaded +,
after which the wreCkage was cleared
away by the wreck train, which was
brought down from Catawissa.
Brakeman Longenberger to a repre-.
sentative of the American ex.
planned how he arrived at the cOuclu-
sion not to jump Said he
81 saw what was going 10 happen
and l had to act quickly. | said tC
myself if jump on that side will be
under the cars when they leave the
track and if L jump on the other side
l will have 40 or 50 tons of coal dump
ed on me-Id better stay where | am
and take my chances.
No man could have reasoned more
accurately even though he had day
| for it Instead of a single second OF
time, which was all that was given tC
this poor railroader. Jumping on
either side ne would have met hi:
death.
The above is at least one instance Oh
record where a man saved his life by
not jumping.
