Ewell reached Carlisle June 81. and
sent forward "Reminiscences toward
Harrisburg. Under Gen. COUGHS direc-
tions the people were working with
feverish energy to put the city in a
state of defense. and the militia was
coming in from Philadelphia and New
York to aid in this. k,well's officers re-
ported that it would not be difficult
to take possession of the suburbs of
Harrisburg on the right bank of the
river, but that there might be great
difficulty in entering the city itself,
since the river spreads out very wide
at that point. and very long wooden
bridge was the only connection between
the two banks There was no other

Homestake Dividend.

Payments on Dividend No 4Ol of
the Homestake company we're receiv-
ed by holders of stock in this city
yesterday afternoon, and some of the
checks were for pretty good amounts
too. This is the first payment of a
dividend by the company since last
April, and although some of the share
holders in the company regretted the
fact that their monthly income had
been cut off, none of them, with one
or two exceptions, we're foolish enough
to part with their holdings. The
dividend. the money for which was
distributed yesterday, was the usual
one of so cents share, and it came in
handy to whole lot of people in the
city, many of whom depend upon the
dividends which they receive from the
company, and to whom it is the only
/ income. Everyone in the city and the
Hills will ,bs glad that the monthly
distribution of wealth, aside from the
wages paid out, has again been re-
sumed by the company.-Lsad Call

ing with a severe attack Of la grippe
during the past week, although she
had nearly recovered and had come to
the Springs in order to regain her
strength and receive the proper

Apparently the sickness had proven
too much for such strong healthy

at o'clock Sunday morning she began
sinking and at $50 a. M. she passed

hours.
A sad and bereaved husband and two
children survive her, besides score of

storm was raging, a large procession

If You Talk You Must Pay.

The question has been asked whether
the officers of the W G Flat Telephone
Company are going to enforce the rule
p assed at their last meeting regarding
the use of their lines by non-stock-
holders will say that the resolution
that non-stockholders MUST pay the
regular rates or take out a permit at
5l.O0 per month, was passed unani-
mously by the stockholders, and it is
the purpose of the proper officers to
make it effectual How successful
they will be will depend largely on the
stockholders themselves. If they stand
by their vote at the annual meeting,
the officers will have no trouble in
carrying out their instructions, and
those who have been allowed the free
use of the lines, or any others, will
have to comply with the rules, or there
will be- less free talking by outsiders
1t is unfair for the members of the
company to be assessed to pay the ex-
penses OF maintaining the line, etc,
and allow outsiders to use the line for
