CAR JUMPERS
ARE RELEASED

Andrew Kodack, Stephen Majaskon
and Michael Manarick. the three young
men of Mahanoy City who were COM
mitted to Jail for illegal car riding at
this place Friday. were released from
durance on Saturday.
Their release was decided upon when
it was found that the county commits
sioners refused to pay the expenses Of
detaining them in Jail Illegal car rid
ing is one of the most common offen-
ses. Each railroad company has speci-
al officers employed and naturally
many arrests are made Comparative
ly few of the car jumpers are in cir
cumstances to pay the costs incidental
to their arrests let alone the fine i'm
posed. The bulk go to Jail where the
cost of their maintenance has to be
borne by the taxpayer. In some Of the
counties where there is an extensive
mileage of railroads the burden impos
ed in this way becomes very heavy
indeed.
In not few of the counties the
county commissioners refuse to pay
for the maintenance Of car jumpers
and the local board was only following
the example of other places when it
refused to pay for the support of the
men arrested Friday and caused their
release.
Following advice Sheriff Williams
turned the prisoners loose Saturday
afternoon. That the, fellows were
agreeably surprised goes without say
ing. They were ordered to leave town
Immediately but the injunction was
hardly necessary as they were very
anxious to get home When last seen
they were pulling across the river
bridge as fast as they could walk.

NO PAVING
This SEASON

AS is usual after heavy rain East
Market street Friday was almost
impossible. The large uneven stones
that formed the first course of the
original roadbed were washed bare.
This condition was not found only in
spots but prevailed along every foot of
the distance between Mill street and
the borough line. The sight of the
street was an offense to the eye How
ever, it was the person, who undertook
to ride over the rocky road that had a
real grievance.
That people are becoming impatient
over the delay is probably stating the
fact correctly Last year, when con-
ditions were nearly as bed as at pres
ent, they looked forward to repairs
either in the form of pavement or
macadamization during the present
summer
1t Is hardly necessary to state that
in the light of developments there will
be no paving the present year, while
1t is by no means certain that the i'm
provement will follow next summer.
The most that oan be said for the
proposition to pave East Market street
with State aid as was done in the
north Mill street improvement is that
the officials Of the State highway de-
partment are favcrably impressed with
the feasibility OF the plan. The Dor.
ough has not yet even made formal
application as it did in the north
Mill.street paving proposition.
The assistant State highway com.
missioner has assured the borough that
the matter will be most carefully con
sidered. The State highway depart
ment has very friendly recollection
of the prompt and business-like man
ner with which the borough met its
obligations in the paving of North
Mill street and it is not unlikely that
the friendly feeling thus eDgendered
will rebound to the benefit of the bor.
ough in the East Market street paving
proposition.
We must not lose sight of the diff.
cultes to be encountered, however
The magnitude of the plan, the trem.
endous expense entailed as we'll as the
complications existing by reason OF
the trolley company are all matters
that will have to be reckoued with
Obviously the paving proposition as
relates to State aid is remotely in the
future and there is 40 assurance that
the plans will ultimately carry.
Meanwhile the patience Of the peo.
pie is being sorely taxed, 1t would
probably be unjust to aver that the
borough authorities are not doing the
best they can to meet the problem, con
sidering the heavy outlay of money
involved. Nevertheless the situation
is one that calls for a remedy of some
sort
\ glance az the street as it appears
at present will convince any one that
immediate repairs in some form, are
indispensable, whether the improve.
ment be temporary or permanent in
its nature.

his neighbors. The last time he saw
the bill was three years ago He sent
it 20 mail order house He will
never see that bill again. The dollar
bill will never pay any more school or

Accidentally Shot Himself.


Edward Thatcher, sixteen-yearold
Bloomsbury boy, was killed Sunday by
the accidental discharge Of shot gun
W nth which he was hunting crane.
Young Thatcher saw the crane Sun
day afternoon and went to swamp
known as 1.-The bog, where he ex-
pected to find the bird. He tired of
hunting and had seated himself on a
hay rake. He attempted to rest the butt
Of the gun on the ground but the trig-
ger caught on the rake discharging
the piece. The load took effect first in
his left wrist, almost severing the
hand, ploughing its way then into his
body, inf1icting so terrible wound as
to preclude all hopes of recovery. He
was removed to the Joseph Ratti hos
pital where he died few hours later.
