Encounter With A Bull.

Harry Wright, of Hopewell, Pa,
had an exciting encounter with a
bull Saturday morning. The ami
NAL broke from the pasture field OF
an adjoining farm and got upon Mr..
Wright's premises, who armed him.
self with pitchfork and attempted
to drive it off. The bull accepted
the challenge to fight as soon as
prodded with the sharp tines of the
fork, and charged his assailant,
crowding him against the bank.
Fortunately the animal had been
dehorned or Mr.. Wright would un-
doubtedly have been gored to
death. AS it was he was badly
bruised, but managed finally to
drive the bull into the stable, rope
him and choke the fight out of him.

They Wanted To Be Married.

A shy young couple, one from
Maryland and the other from Ian.
caster county, attracted consider.
able attention in town Monday
afternoon. They evidently wanted
to get married and from their state
ments they wanted to get married
right away. They were armed
with a license, and not knowing
where else to 60 for instructions,
hunted up Policeman Worth, who
took them to the 'Squles' Office,
only to find both of them out. 1t
then occurred to him to look at
their license and found it was from
Maryland, so he told them they
would have to go across the line to
have the knot tied. The girl seem
ed particularly disappointed at not
having it done Immediately, but
they finally arranged to go to. Rising
Sun on the six o'clock train. The
boy was Joel Johnson, of Liberty
Grove, and the girl Annie Kunkle,
of Tayloria. The young man
naively remarked to Officer Worth
that he wasn't taking any chances,
because if he did not like the girl
after he married her, he could leave
her, which seems to be pretty
philosophical way of looking at
things.-Oxford News.

CLOUDBURST ON THE UPPER

Barton and David Mackie, George
Hanson and Chauncey Preston row;

time afterward, almost without
warning, the stream rose rapidly,
caused by a cloudburst a few miles
upstream. In a few minutes the
island was submerged and the party
were compelled to climb the trees
to keep from being washed away
over the dambreast a short distance

its moorings by the rushing waters
and debris carried from above
which included trees, small bridges
and parts of buildings and fences.
The marooned mems friends
stood on the bank of the stream
but were unable to give any assist
ance until the waters subsidized a
few hours later, when a rescue was
affected without any casualties.

Slater Falls From Roof.

Falling from the roof of dwell
ling in Oxford one morning last
week Park B. Shank, veteran slater
of Peach Bottom, miraculously es-
capped serious and perhaps fatal
injury. Nails pulling out allowed
the board upon which the slater
was walking to slip, throwing him
from the roof to the ground, dis
tance of twenty five feet. Mr..
Shank struck a stone wall being
built for the porch foundation,
barely missing the mason who was
at work on it at the time. The in
jured man was carried to the home
of DR.. H. L. Patterson where a
careful examination revealed the
fact that although badly cut and
bruised no bones were broken or
other serious injury sustained.
Mr.. Shank is in his 72nd year and
his escape is most remarkable.

Runaway.

N. G. Brown and family exper-

Saturday, and though placed in
great danger for some minutes,

more serious than a bad scare.
They were just starting to drive
from town to Sylmar, when the
horse became frightened and plung.
ing broke some part of the harness,
allowing the carriage to run against
it going down the grade in front of
Buffington's store. The animal start
ed to run and despite the efforts
of Mr.. Brown to check it continued
its mad flight half mile or more
before finally being brought under
control, when the harness was
patched up and the drive continued
without further incident.

War On Delaware speakeasles.

towns and districts in Delaware,
which are under Local Option law,
of illegal cider shops and speak
easies, the Law and Order Societies
are combining, those Of Georgetown,
Lewes, Rehoboth, Laurel, Seaford,
Milford and other places working
in conjunction with each other, the
purpose being to engage detectives
to secure evidence and invoke the
aid of the law in closing the joints
and prosecuting the proprietors.
With the closing of the shops the
allied societies expect to show up
the evil so plainly before the Legis-
lature that laws will be passed
completely covering the sale of
hard cider and so-called Local
Option" drinks with heavy fines
for violation.

Let the esteemed Rutland Herald be
disabused Of any idea it may entertain
that this paper regards with complacency
the excessive use Of money in political
campaigns. It has fought on the other
side OF that question a long, long time.
1t will welcome any effective means OF
limiting or supervising it. 1t has con-
siderable doubt as to the effectiveness OF
such publicity measures as have been pro-
posed, some Of which prevail in other
states, without apparently accomplishing
their purpose. 1t believes that a more
effective method would be to rebuke the
wholesale user of money at the polls, and
that it is up to the voters to do this. Let
some candidate whose chief asset is his
wealth, and who has made free use of it
to forward his political ambition, get an
unmerciful drubbing election day, at the
hands OF an aroused and indignant cleo
torate, and it will do more to make such
practises unpopular than all the laws that
can be passed.

THAT TRUSTEE PLANK.

And we favor an absolute exemption
from attachment by trustee process OF,
wages to the amount OF so.
can state platform, in the part devoted to
working men. Like many planks in
many platforms, it was inserted without
much thought by the convention, under
the general practise of accepting what
ever comes from the committee without
question. We imagine it would puzzle
nine delegates out of ten who sat in that
convention to even explain just what IT
means.
To most of them it quite likely APP
peared a mere reiteration of the present
transferable II they are less than ten
dollars. So it went through without q
note of opposition. Later, ii will rise up
to cause trouble.
The proposition contained in this
plank is an important one, and has been
up for action at two recent sessions of the
legislature. Last time ii passed the
House, but was defeated in the Senate, in
response to a strong, well-defined pro-
test that came from business men all
over the state.
Simple as this plank appears on its
face, ii means in effect the utter abolition
of the trustee process, as it relates to
the wage Garner. 1t means that ten dol
lars of wages is fully exempt from the
process, under all conditions. Thus, il
laborer earns twelve dollars a week and is
trusted by his grocer for debt, the grocer
can only hold the excess above ten dol
lars, or two dollars-not enough to war
rant bringing suit. Under the present
general practise of weekly payments,
there is no accumulation of wages from
week to week, so that, in practical effect,
this sort OF q law would do away with
the process altogether, as applied to wage
earners. II is, moreover, species of
class favoritism. The laborer, drawing
his pay weekly, may thumb his nose to
the man who has trusted him, while the
farmer who sells q pig or calf may be
trusted and every cent of the amount re-
covered.
We are aware that this absolute exemp-
tion is fetch OF organized labor. II is
9 sympathetic voice that goes up in be-
half OF the poor isborer, who sees his
every dollar taken from him Saturday
night by some merciless creditor on trus-
tee process, but this is overworking the
thing. Few, very few, worthy men are
oppressed by the law as it stands. 1t
does AFFORD the only opportunity for col
lection of just accounts against q horde
OF desdbeats who will throw up their
hats and rejoice when the state comes to
their aid and absolves them completely.
1t will be done, of course, for the party
platform declares for it. The fact that
neither the plank nor the situation con-
cerned had the slightest consideration by
the delegates as a whole will not weigh
when the next legislature convenes.
