Boundary Line Saloons
Near Hou|ton Closed.
Maine and New Brunswick and
Customs Officers Raid.
Owners Have Been Dodging for Years.
Concerted Action Wins Out.

Houlton, Me-. June 1.-THE largest
seizure of liquor ever made in this
county was effected at an early hour,
Saturday morning, when officers from
Maine and New Brunswick. aided by
two customs officials, swooped down
mon the three Boundary Line stores.
located about three miles from this
town.
The proprietors are James Thimpson,
John A. Mclean and Jacob Wise. The
former have been doing business for
wears. while Wise has been selling
about one year The premises are on
the line separating Maine from New
Brunswick. and on this account it has
been impossible for the officials to pre-
vent the sale of liquors there. When Of
fcers from either side would pay them
visit, they would quietly step to the
other side of the line and thus eVade
the law.
County Commissioner Charles E.
Dunn. an active member of the Civic
League, has worked hard to put an end
has tried several times to make seiZ-
ure, but something has always inter-
fered Last Saturday, however, he
made arrangements with B. Colpitts,
a Canadian officer, and accordingly at
6o'clock, Saturday morning, six officers
from Maine and like number from
the Canadian side, visited the stores
and took the clerks by surprise.
The raid was planned SO secretly that
other officials had no knowledge of it
until Saturday morning. The men from
Maine who made the seizure were
Sheriff Martin Lawless, Deputy Sher-
lift A. Il. Smart, Victor Peters, a GUS
toms official of Bridgewater, and a
special United States inspector. The
New Brunswick squad were Inspector
L. Colpitts Of Woodstock. and his depu-
ties, H. Estey. Frank Burpee. James
Wolverton and G. r. Hanson.
The first place visited was that of ia
col, Wise. where a small quantity Of
liquor was seized. Two barrels OF
American beer were found on the Ca
madam side Wise will be charged with
smuggling, as the duty was not paid on
the beer.
At the Thompson store there was
found liquor of many kinds. More than
three two-horse loads were taken from
this place, and it is thought that the
value will amount to $4,000.
At McLean's only small quantity OF
liquor was discovered.
All the liquor was taken to Wood
stock. n. b., and later will be con1is-
Gated. The stores We're closed, Satur-
day. for the first time in years, and eV-
erything is as dry as Sahara.

Readings New Product.

A set of rolls have been turned
up" at the Reading Iron Works. this
city. for the manufacture of "tie
plates" and thus the capacity of the
plant may be said to be increased, a
new product being added.
A tie plate, as implied by the name,
is steel plate inserted under the raj |
where it rests upon the sleeper or tie
for the purpose of protecting the lat.
ter. 1t is only a small plate of steel
through which the spike is driven in
to the CROSS tie, the effect of its use
being to keep the rail from wearing
into the tie and to prevent the water
in times of rain from following the
spike down into the wood and causing
the tie to rot prematureIy as is apt to
be the case where the plates are not
used. Tie plates are employed only
here and there on railroads at present.
but it will be but a few years until
they will be in general use.
1t Is to assist in meeting this heavy
demand foreseen that the Reading
Iron Company has turned up roll for
the manufacture of tie plate. 1t i s a
unique section having features pe-
culiar to itself and which it is believ-
ed will make it popular with railroad
companies.

Odd Fellows at PHILADELPHIA.

Robert E. Wright. of Allentown,
grand sire has completed his report to
the sovereign grand lodge of the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows
which begins its eighty first annual
session in Philadelphia next Monday.
Mr.. Wright says:
''It is natural that the Odd Fellows
of this state should boast of the fact
that Pennsylvania still leads largely
in her own Odd Fellowship. even while
she takes pride in the rapid growth of
her sister jurisdictions.
1.-The record Of the last year has
been no exception to the history of
progress. The increase in mem mbership
OF our subordinate lodges was 65,72I;
in the encampment branch, $3.50; in
the Rebekah branch. 26, ,931-mak ing a
total increase of 102,1l5 The Patri-
archs Militant show decrease in
membership, but that decrease is only
nominal, and, doubtless, results in a
clearing out of names that really did
not represent active members of that
branch.

year was 1851, ,077. Sc the increase in

to society of which he was not a

or or fraternal organizatIon,o or use the
same to obtain aid or assistance with

full during his stay in this vicinity,
and has gathered together nearly 1000
feet of the timber, which is stor ed
along the Pennsylvania tracks near
the freight house in South Danville.
Mr.. Schlientz has about finished his
work here and will ship the lumber
tomorrow to the coast from whence it
will he sent to Germany.
In this part of the country black
walnut Is very rare. the trees being
very few and far between. Mr.. Sohli-
entz has covered the country on both
sides of the river within a radius of
twelve miles. He pays about $a5 per
thousand feet for the timber standing.
He then fells the tree and hauls 1t to
his temporary headquarters where the
logs are trimmed and shipped.
Black walnut is used in making fur
niture, gun stocks and other kinds of
fine wood work. Mr.. Schlientz was
assisted in his work here by G. O.
White. Olem Howell and r. s. Camp
bell, all of GAINESVILLE. Ohio.
Mr.. Sohlientz will go from here to
Sunbury from which place as head
quarters he will canvass the country
in that vicinity for black walnut trees.

A SEPARATE
pole line

The Western Union crows that
are building a separate pols line from
Danvillo to Williamsport have now
gotten on as far as Norman Beyer's.
Valley township. proceeding as nearly
as possible in a straight line to Ex.
change.
just at present one of the crews is
at work in this city on that part Of
the line. which carries the wire out
from the d. l.. & W. Railroad to til Q
Mausdale road. The extension begi ms
at the ID. L. & W. crossing and ex-
tends down along the track as far as
Mahoning creek when it takes north
erly course to the Borough line. The
poles. which are already planted, are
set close to Mahoning creek on the
eastern side. The wires are not yet
strung.
The Western Union telegraph wire
between this city and Williamsport up
to the present has been carried on the
poles of the United Telephone and
Telegraph Company. 1t is brought in
to this city OH its own poles planted
along the d. l.. g. W. railroad where
it has the right of way. From the d.
l.. & W. to the telegraph office under
agreement with the Standard Electric
Light Company the poles of the latter
corporation are used.
The poles used for the new line are
all shipped g hundred miles or more
from New Jersey to this city. whence
they are hauled by teams out into the
country and distributed where needed.
A little later the poles will be deliv-
cred at Washingtonville as more con.
venient. The work is under the direc.
tion of ]. A. Burt. the Company
Right-of- Way man, and very good pro-
gress is being made considering all
the circumstances.
During the earlier stages of the work
the men all lodged in this city. At
present one Of the crews remains in
the country boarding at the farm
houses. The farmers also do the haul

poles where needed, Go.
There is rumor abroad to the effect
that the Western Union people pro-
pose to build separate line In this
city which will follow the alleys, the
object being to remove their wires
from the poles of the Standard Electric
Light Company. Mr.. Burt. however,
states that he has received no orders
looking to the construction of any
such line in Danville and has no
knowledge that any such plans arc on
foot by the company

CONCERNING THE
PuSH CARD FAD

The postal card fad is being carried
to great extremes. While the Post
Office Department looks with favor
upon souvenir cards that are inoffensive
it is going after others uf the opposite
sort in way that promises to cut
down the business considerably.
During an interview with Postmast-
er o. P. Harder Tuesday some facts
were learned which, it is believed, will
prove very interesting reading. 1t is
true many persons have the right idea
concerning souvenir postal cards, and
the custom of sending out cards con.
tanning pictures of landmarks, i'm
provements and bits of scenery,
such as our new bridge with first troll
ley car. Christ Church and the like is
quite within the law and should be
encouraged but there are another class
Of faddists who have great deal to
learnsfor their own good and in the
interview with our postmaster will be
found the information they need.
|
to the fact that the law enacted by
Congress few years ago provides that
| cards of the same size and weight as
the ordinary postal card may be sent
through the mails as ordinary postal
cards provided one-cent stamp be
affixed. The trouble is, he says, that
while many of the printed cards sold
as souvenir postal cards meet these re-
quirements and can be written upon
and sent through the mails with l.
cent stamp affixed, large number of
others-probably the larger number
sent out-are much bigger than the
ordinary postal cards. or worse yet, ara
made of leather or wood.
All such cards as the latter, which
do not meet the requirements, are
mailed as merchandise at the rate of
one cent per ounce, but if anything is
written upon them. then they require
letter postage. which Is two cents per
ounce. The leather cards are about the
same size as the ordinary postal cards,
but they are much thicker and are bar.
ed. from the mails except as merohan
disc. If written upon letter postage
must be paid. The wooden souvenirs,
larger ard heavier, generally weigh
more than an ounce. If anything is
written upon these four cents in
stamps must be affixed. The trouble
is that to most people, all souvenirs
"look alike" and they affix one cent
stamps to big and little, write their
messages upon the back and dump the m
into the letter boxes. The great maj
ority of course, being unavailable. do
not reach their destination.
There is another class of postal cards
that are indelicate and offensive and
it is this class that the Post Office De-
partment is after. Orders have been
issued to stop all such cards. Post
master Harder says that the Depart.
ment draws the line on girls in bath
ing suits and on pictures with red
devils accompanied by the legend: "I
| am having a--of time" Not one
Of such cards are permitted to reach
the addressee. but are forwarded to
the dead letter office.

MITCHELL'S VIE VS.
MORE SANGUINE

President John Mitchell in his ad.
dress Saturday evening declared that
President George Baer was reasonable,
keen and shrewd, and felt that the
coal operators would see their way
clear to hold a conference with the
leaders of ths miners before the term
ination of the present agreement.
1t Is the general conviction that Mr.
Mitchell has some reasons for being
sanguine. hopeful and optimistic. His
speeches are not so forcible and de-
monstrative as four weeks ago. He
wants peace. and desires it, but urges
the miners to better their organiza-
tion declaring that the only way it
can be done, is to increase their num-
erical strength. "Show them by num-
bers that you are in earnest and the
results will be easy attained said
Mr.. Mitchell.
1.-THE independence of the anthracite
mine workers is now pending" he
continued. "It is up to you to either
make or bear it. If we lose, the right
to join labor organization will be
taken from you. and not in life time
will an opportunity, like this present
ITSELF" He concluded by declaring
that he nor the miners wanted strike,
but they do want an eight hour day,
the recognition of the union and the
permanent retention of the ooncilia-
tion board. the latter to be on more
improved plan.
Shortly after his little talk it was
given out by the district officers OF
the union that the miners union in
creased sixty thousand members dur
ing the past three months, and expect
ed that half that number would apply
during the next two weeks. II these
figures are true, it means that Mitch
ellis visit has really surpassed ex-
pectations, and it might mean that his
first prediction Of a solid anthracite
union of miners. with membership p
of 150.0 members will be realized.
their acts. look upon the agitation with
Indifference, and when questioned
openly cay, that President Mitchell is
not sincere in his efforts to get an
eighthour day. The miners NIGH t
demand it. but will never insist upon
it.
As to recognition, the operators will
not concede it, for the opportunity to
break the union. would be lost forever.
The mine owners desire to be free
from collecting the union dues, and
will pay no more attention to the
mine workers organization than is
necessary. There is no mistake about
the fact, however, that the coal com
panies intend to be prepared for every
emergency, as all, without a single ex-
ception. are storing coal in larger
quantities than ever before. The large
manufacturing establishments are do.
ing likewise.

Lackawanna's New Ferry.

The Lackawanna Railroad will open
its new ferry terminal at West 23rd
Street, New York on Wednesday, Sept
ember 20th. The structure will be the
most imposing of the Railroad Ferry
Buildings now grouped on the North
River at 23rd. Street, which is rapidly
becoming the great orosstown artery
of the roads terminating on the Jersey
side.
1t was the original intention of the
LacEawanna to have the structure
ready for patronage early in August,
but the destructive fire which recently
swept its Hoboken piers made 1t i'm.
practicable to inaugurate the service
until the slips for the present Barclay
and Christopher Street lines had first
been restored. So rapid has been the
Company's recovery from the effeo
of the fire, however, that the 23rd
Street service is being started much
earlier than was anticipated and the
new line will be opened on September
Goth with full feet of modern double
decked ferry boats and complete faoil-
tiles for passengers and teams.
On week days the boats will run ev-
cry 10 minutes between 6 a. m and 10
p. IN and every half hour between 10
p. IN and 6 a. m, while OIL Sundays
the Is minute service will not begin
until a. IN. The structure is one of
the finest on the North River. 1t is
built of steel with an imposing front
of ornamental copper and is absolute
ly fire proof throughout. The length
of the building is 1876 feet, providing
three ferry slips with waiting rooms
on the first and second floors. There
will be a central clock tower 1856 feet
high visible from many portions of
the river.
With the opening of this terminal
the Lackawanna will also begin the
operation Of electric cab and carri-
age service at West 23rd Street for the
benefit of its patrons. Cabs will be
available at all times of the day or
night for service In Greater New
York. The new service will material.
ly add to the convenience offered by
the Lackawanna for reaching the
Metropolitan hotel and shopping dis.
tricts, all of which are easily reached
from the 23rd Street crosstown lines.
The new line will be in addition to
those now being operated between
Hoboken, Barclay and Christopher
Streets, New York. The present ser.
vice between 23rd Street. New York
and 18th Street, Hoboken will also be
continued as heretofore.
