Embarrassment Of Contractors.


The Lynch Brothers OF Philadelphia,
who have been building the new post
Office in Milford, have become involved
in business troubles, which resulted in
hOld-up Of the work on that structure.
1t was expected that the building would
have been completed about the middle
of December, 80 that final payments
could have been collected, but the trOu-
BILE has caused delay. Sub-cOntractors
have continued their work in finishing
the electric and marble work, but those
who were working for Lynch Brothers
stopped until definite arrsng ements
could be made with the surety COM
pany-which is responsible for the bills
contracted A number Of the local cledi.
tors entertained The idea that they could
secure themselves by "builders lien"
against the building but in this they
are mistaken, as no government work
can be attached, and State laws do not
apply. The bonding company is am ply
responsible, aud the work will be
promptly finished.

A Close Call From Fire.

An accident happened to Mrs. Mary

which make her friends shudder at hei
narrow escape from what might have
been another horror by fire. She had
a new bonnet in which was a large
amount Of crepe trimming, and last
week she had the bonnet on her head
and started to extinRuish an oil lamp
by blowing down the chimney Instead
Of going out the flame blazed up the
opsnd set fire to the bonnet trimmings,
which instantly bazed up. Fortunately
Mrs. Hirsch bad not placed the pins to
hold the bonnet on, and she was able
to throw it of and away from her. She
was not burned but the bonnet was,
and so, fortunately for her, she now
has her second winter bonnet.

tame Wardens About.

ViolatOrs of the game and fishing
laws Of the State must henceiorth be
very clever If they wish to evade the
clutches Of the guardians Of the law, as
one or more deputy game wsrdens have
been commissioned in each town and
community Of the whole State. Each
warden is empowered to arrest without
warrant any viOlator Of the game laws
aud to remand him to the custody OF
any justice Of the peace for trial. Fines
or imprisonment, or both, may be ina
posed by the justice ana his veTdicts
are final. 1t is TO be earnestly hoped
that the gunners and trappers OF the
State show more concern for the rapidly
diminishing numbers Of the game he
fore its inevitable extinction occurs, as
it would if the present Iawlessness con-
tinues without restraint.
