IRON MOULDERS'
ANNUAL OUTING

The eighth annual outing of the
Iron Moulders' union, which took place
at DeWitt's park on Saturday, was one
of the best conducted and most pleas
ant picnics ever held at that resort.
There was good attendance and moth
ing occurred to mar the pleasure of
the occasion.
The members of the local union in a
body about 10 o'clock marched over to
the park to the music of the Washing
ton drum corps. From that hour un-
til 10 p. m. things moved lively. The
main sport was dancing, although 9TH
er amusements were INDUCED in.
During the day and until late at
night some half dozen hacks were
kept busy carrying people backwards
and forwards a large quantity of re-
freshments were sold.

SOBER CHESTNUTS
FOR SEATTLE

Since early in the spring, a force of
expert grafters have been at work on
the Sober chestnut farm in Irish Val
lev, grating the Seeding trees and
have about completed their work.
During the season 10, 600 seedlings
were grated and will be ready for
shipment to the Glen Brothers nurs-
cry, Rochester, N. Y, by fall Glen
brothers secure the entire output OF
paragon chestnut seedlings from the
Sober farm.
During the past several days, Cole.
man K. Sober, the owner of the farm.
has received numerous requests from
chestnut importers, seeking the entire
output of the chestnut farm, several
of them informing the owner that it
is impossible TO sell the Italian chest
nuts when his are on the market.
However, Mr.. Sober has already made
arrangements to ship a carload OF the
hardy nuts to Seattle, Washington.
but will likely accept contracts for
the remained of his crop which pro-
misses to be exceptionally good this
year.

VIII Enact Ordinance.

1t is unfortunate, indeed, that the
new park, gift to the public, should
be the object of attack by vandals. and
that, too. before the grounds are fully
completed.
The first DETACHMENT was discovered
day or two ago. Some one maIiciously
and deliberately ran wheelbarrow ov.
er the smooth surface where the grass
seed has been sown. At other places
there are foot prints where men have
ran about over the parts that are
finished, the shoes, like the wheelbar-
row, sinking deep into the soft and
yielding ground.
The trespassing no doubt occurred
at night. The committee, as we'll as
those who have the work in hand, are
very indignant over the matter and are
trying to find out who the vandals
are. If the latter are detected it is
only safe to say that they will pay the
penalty.
AT the next meeting of council, Fri
day night, an ordinance relating to
the park will probably be enacted,
which will provide heavy penalty
for such acts of vandalism and there
by make it easier to protect the park
in the future.

THE PARK NEARLY
COMPLETED

Superintendent P. J. Keefer and his
corps of skilled workmen have reason
to be proud of their work on the new
park, which is now very nearly COM
pleted. There are few people in town
who have not taken stroll in that
direction to see the new recreation
ground and note the charming effect
in landscape gardening.
1t is really surprising how much
work has been accomplished in a cou.
pie of weeks and how we'll it has been
done. Best of all is the picturesque
erect attained by the laying out Of the
grounds and the planting of the trees.
Several of the sections first sown with
grass seed, are already green and add
to the effect of the deep foliage.
In this connection it might be stated
that not one of the large number Of
trees planted in the park last year fail
ed TO grow. King and giant among
all the trees is the large buttonwood
chat stands near the center of,the park
as thrifty and beautiful today as it
was when it stood sentinel among the
graves in the years of the past.
Section after section, into which the
park is divided by the walks, which
radiate from the site Of the monument
was dug up by the workmen, seeded
and rolled, the edges all being neatly
sodded. The combined effect of grad
ing and sodding at the Upper Mul-
berry street entrance is such as could
be produced only by a person of taste
and experience in landscape gardening.
At present but ore section embrac-
ing the north east of the tract, remains
to be completed Even here the grad
ing is practically completed. In the
latter work the ground excavated on
Cherry street, where macadamization
is in progress, is being used. Where
filling up is required in the park the
soil is removed to be replaced after
the barren earth has been placed in
position.
The park will probably be complet-
ed by the end of the present week.
After that series of refreshing rains
will be needed to insure the growth OF
the sod and grass.

Thief Judged by Victim.
LEMISRuRG. June


Although H. A. Argrave, manager
OF the Buffalo Milling company OF this
place, took the law into his own hands
and passed sentence upon coal thief,
his decision has not been questioned,
and, is, indeed. generally commended
because OF its undoubted justice.
Officials Of the milling company had
been missing coal for the last several
weeks, but could get no trace of the
thief. Monday morning, however, Arg
rave and two employees caught their
man with the goods.
The mill manager and his men &C
companied the thief to his home, where
they found about five tons of coal stor-
ed in the bin. Instead of arresting
him and throwing him in jail, Argrave
requested the coal bin looter to report
at the mill later in the day, and after
a trial and reprimand before a jury
composed of neighbors of the thief and
mill employees, gave him three options
to settle. as follows:
Pay ten dollars and return the coal
in his bin by wheelbarrow between
the hours of O'Clock in the morning
aud 8 O'Clock in the evening. Pay fifty
dollars and keep the coal, or go to
Jail. The thief accepted the first pro-
position, and during his working hours
today in returning the coal attracted
great attention.

Pays Penalty for Bumming,

A hobo who gave his name as John
Wilson and said that he hailed from
Paterson, N. j., was picked up by
the police Saturday and given ten
days in the lookup for bumming"
the town.
Tramps of Wilson's class have be-
come very numerous; they are bold
and insolent. They are persistent beg
gars and there is nothing they do not
want. First and foremost they crave
money or rich 'handout' of eat
ables. Failing to secure these they try
to obtain second hand clothing neei-
ed to replanish their soiled and ragged
wardrobe. That they would not scru-
pie to steal, if occasion offered, is a
fact that no one doubts.
The amount of annoyance to which
people in SOON parts of the borough
are subjected through the tramps sur
passes belief. The police keep a sharp
lookout, but the bummers are willy fell
lows and generally manage to see the
bluecoats first. AS demonstrated by
Wilson's case at frequent intervals one
falls into the police dragnet and is
made to pay the penalty Let Wilson :

Farmers Regin Making Hay.

The hay making season has already
arrived. The wheat is turning" and
by the Fourth Of July, harvest will
probably be on hand. Both hay and
wheat promise good yield.
Henry Vincent, Esq. began cutting
hay last week. Several other farmers
in different sections of the county also
moved portions Of their fields. This
week or next the hay constituting the
bulk of the crop will be made. On
Valley and hilltop will be heard the
clatter OF the busy moving machines
and the oiors of new made hay will
be waited from every direction.
The hay crop is pronounced a very
good one by the farmers For the last
three weeks, it is true, we have had
little rain, but the grass fields up to
the present have not suffered any.
Some fears, however, are entertained
for timothy, constituting the late crop
which has not yet matured, a few
copious showers. however, will afford
the moisture needed and bring the late
crop of hay around all right
The wheat never presented a more
promising appearance at this season of
the year. The fields are taking on
their first golden tinge and the land
scape appears very beautiful. 1t is a
question with some farmers whether
the lack of rain at this critical period
may not interfere with the proper fill
ing of the wheat. AS in the case of
the late hay a few showers dur
ing the next three weeks would fill all
needs and assure good crop of grain
