Girl, 5, Killed By Coal Truck A five-year-old girl was Instantly killed when struck by a coal truck a short distance from her Franklintown home, a mile and a half south of DllLsburg. at 5:30 o'clock Thursday evening. A Baltimore man, driver of the truck, was arrested for operating a motor veulcle without a license, fined $12.50, and released. According to eye-witnesses, the child, Betty Jane Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

George Smith, had just been to the Frankllntown post- office for the family's mall. As she left the office and swirled to cross the street, Richard Hurbold, a bystander, warned her to wait until traffic had passed. As one truck passed, traveling south, the child darted Into the street and was struck by another truck, bound north. The driver, Denmay T. Stevenson, 1931 West Mosher street, Baltimore, saw the child and swerved his truck to the left to avoid hitting her but she ran directly Into the end of the vehicle.

U. Zech, was called and went to the scene accompanied by Highway Palrolmfn Donald Harris and E. A. Wri. of the York substation of the highway patrol.

According to the information they gleaned from eye-witnesses, the truck was traveling about 20 miles per hour when the accident occurred. A check revealed, however, that the driver carried only a learner's permit that had expired January 4. He was taken before Justice of the Peace C. W. Gross, DilLsburg, who flned him $12.50 for driving without a license.

John Corel, 910 North Appleton street, Baltimore, who was riding In the truck, paid the fine and Stevenson was released. The witnesses interviewed said Stevenson was not to blame for the child's death, as he was traveling slowly and the child darted into the road. Coroner Zech said death was instantaneous, as the girl's skull was crushed and she had suffered hemorrhages. Other injuries were shock brush burns eboat'thfe body.

Old Mother Cumberland court. ty residents used to "Josh" us hen on being buckwheat and cropsters, but that day has passed into oblivion. Adams county fruit growers and fanners have made wonderful progress In crop improvements in the lost half century. In the 80's, much interest was aroused in Adams county relative to the breeding and raising of carp commercially by farmers.

In Europe as early as the fourteenth century, carp fishing was an established industry. While definite datu concerning the exact date of Introduction of the carp into Pennsylvania waters Is lacking, the earliest at tfce Pennsylvania Fish commission indicate that this occurred about 1880. Many private fish ponds were constructed in tho York Springs community, about half a century ago, and to a lew ears there were some of the big fellows lurking in the waters. They could be tempted to come out of hiding and to the top of the water when fed bread crumbs, canned corn, etc. When the disastrous Johnstown flood occurred in 1889 many of the private carp washed out and the fish released into the adjacent streams.

Following their Introduction, carj of the three species, mirror carp, leather back carp and silver carp, have generally become abundant In Huntington i largest carp raiser was the late Abraham Meals, who had six ponds, where some of the carp grew to be big fellows. When guests came to the Meals home they were supplied with a rod and line and bait, and usually landed several of the fish.
