feast and the children we're in
the height of enjoyment wading
in Alexander's Creek a veritable
cloudburst occurred over the de-

REMOVED
TO NEW SITE

W. a. Shepperson, who purchased
the Office building belonging to Mary
A. Hofer, has removed the structure
from Nicholas avenue to Front street,
where it is installed as a kitchen to
one of the dwellings owned by Mr..
SheppeIson.
On last Friday morning the work of
moving the office began, but it was
Saturday night before it reached its
destination. The first stage of the
journey was made on the running gear
of single wagon. The building, how
ever, which is some twelve feet square
and Of the same height was hard to
balance and when the clock works was
reached it toppled over into the gutter
resting on its side.
The office had to be raised BY jacks
and blocked up so that it could be re-.
loaded Two wagons were procured
with separate teams of horses, and on
Saturday afternoon the last stage of
the journey was completed. The build
ing supported by two wagons rode
more firmly, but the difficulty was
that the two teams would not pull to-
gether and there was danger Of upset
ting from that cause. 1t was only aft
Ell many delays that the building was
placed ON its new site.

A FINE CATCH
OF BLACK BASS

W. G. Pursell, his son Harold, NJ.
H. Schram and Harry Ellenbogen re-
turned home from fishing trip down
the river last evening with twelve Of
the finest bass that ever came to town.
There was not small one in the lot,
all ranging in length from ten to four
teen inches Four of the biggest ones
were hooked by Master Harold PurseI.
The river was never in a better con-
dition for bass fishing and it might be
added that not in many years have
bass been more plentiful.
Persons who frequent the river bridge
find pleasure in watching the move
ments Of monster black bass which
seems to haunt the deep water at the
foot of one of the piers. The big bass
can easily be seen from the bridge and
may he observed at all hours of the
day. 1t is apparently twenty inches
long and WEIGHS no less than four
pounds.
There is scarcely day but persons
fishing from off the sidewalk of the
bridge throw out their lines in pro-
ximitY to the monster fish but no mat.
ter how temptingly baited or near by
the hook falls, the bass declines to
bite.

MOVEMENT To
secure BAIL

A movement is on foot to secure the
release Of Peter Dietrich on bail pend
ing his next or third trial at Wilkes
Barre in September for the killing of
James A. Jones.
The matter was brought up at a ses-
son of court Saturday morning, when
Ralph Kisner, Esq. on behalf of Hon.
Grant Herring of counsel for the de-
fense, asked the court to fix bail in the
case. Judge Evans, said he was in
doubt as to which court had jurisdic-
tion in Dietrich's case under the
change of venue granted-that of Mon
tour county in which the suit was in
stituted or that of Luzerne county to
which the case was sent for trial He,
therefore, declined to make an order
Saturday, but stated that he would fix
the amount of bail.
There was some surprise when the
court announced the sum of fifteen
thousand dollars as the amount of bail
that would be required. The amount
demanded by the court when the form
er trial was pending was ten thousand
dollars. When Judge Evans reaches
conclusion in the matter, which will
probably be in few days time, court
will convene and the application will
be disposed of.
In addition to Judge Evans Associ-
ate Judges +. G. Blee and Hon. L. W.
Welliver were on the bench Saturday.
The principal business before court
was argument ON exceptions filed TO

REORGANIZATION
WELL UNDER WAY

The macadamization of Cherry street
is progressing nicely. The excavating
was completed last week and the
course Of cinder has been applied along
the greater part of the way.
Street Commissioner E. S. Miller has
ordered the limestone for the upper
course, which will be applied as socn
as it arrives. The cinder and the
limestone together will constitute a
roadbed some sixteen inches in thick
ness.
Cherry street has always been soft
and miry in tie spring of the year At
times at was next to impossible. The
street has been repaired from time to
time. but no permanent improvement
was made. Macadamization seemed
to be the only remedy.
In order to build an approved road
bed the street commissioner has caus-
ed heavy chunks of cinder to be plao-
ed in the bottom course. These when
covered with the 5-inch course of lime
stone will not be detected on the sur
face, but will add to the strength and
permanenoy OF the roadbed, enabling
1t to resist the heaviest ira ffic at any
season Of the year.

AGED FARMER
HAS DIPHTHERIA

John McNinch, aged forty-eight

He is suffering from a type Of the
malady Of the most virulent form, and
it is not expected that he will recov-
er. His throat paralyzed DR.. H. E.
Klase, Of Jerseytown. is the attending
physician. He first saw the case Friday
evening, and found it is an advanced
stage. the friends of the aged man up
to that time believing his trouble to
be only an ordinary case of sore
throat. One Of the remarkable things
about it is that Mr. McNnich is the
only diphtheria patient in all that Sec
tion and he has been nowhere
that he could contract it. Gases of
aged persons contracting diphtheria
are very rare.
