Opposite Hotel Bernard LA PORT PA Lebigh Valley Rail Road Raises I'assenger Rates. As a result of decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, recently handed down, in the case of the Reading Railway against the County of Philadelphia, to enjoin the county froui enforcing the two cent fare law of 1907, the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is enabled to restore the passenger rates which prevailed on that line prior to October 1, 1907. The company complied with the 1907 law under protest, because of the large penalties which it would suffer for non compliance is case the law should be upheld. Tariff schedules based upon the old passenger rates have been prepared and put into effect by the Lehigh Valley. Alleges I'oison in Cones.

alleging that an ice cream cone' which was bought in the store contained poison, William Daubert and wife Emma Daubert, of Wilkes- Harre.havc brought suit against the Syndicate store, of thatcity, asking damages. It is alleged in the declaration that Mrs. Daubert icecream cone at a counter in the store on July 2, and that the cone contained ptomaine poison, which caused Mrs. Daubert to become seriously ill. The wife asks damages and the husband Gory Wreck.

Ray Miller and Walter Miller of Millerton, were mixed up in a runaway last week. They were thrown from the wagon with a load of seven tv quarts of strawberries. Though apparently bleeding from every pore when rescuers arrived, it was quickly ascertained that instead of a gory affair, it was all stain, that easily washed off. They escaped with bad Albany Mirror. fOimiiONEFHC4R far aklldrmai tmfm, huw.

Mm wtalM The Ballinger Imbroglio. The congressional committee which investigated the charges against Secretary of the interior, Hal linger, have closed their hearings and will probably report that the Secretary has not committed any wrongful act, and that the charges against him have not been sustained by the evidence. This may be true but was not after.the fact that his appointment to office was a mistake which now no doubt President Taft realizes. Mr. Ballinger does not deny that previous to his appointment he had been employed as a lawyer by the Cunningham claimants including Senator Guggenheim and J.

Pierpont Morgan, to prosecute their claims to extensive tracts of coal lands La Alaska, and obtain patents for them which would put these claimants into immediate and unalterable possession of immensly valuable property obtained from the United States at a very small cost. Guggenheim is a wealthy Jew and Mr. Morgan is a well known organizer of great syndicates for successful speculation. One of the first acts of Mr. Ballinger after taking office was to claim that the Forestry Bureau which had heretofore been under the direction and control of James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, rightfully belonged to the Department of the Interior of which he tfas the head.

People are loath to give up power and patronage and Secretary Wilson naturally resented, and resisted the claim and was determined to the Mr. Pinchott. head of tins Forestry Bureau, not desirous of changing masters, took a hand in the controversy and wielded a sharp pen. Why did Mr. Ballinger want this bureau attached to his already extensive department? Law judges never petition to have their districts enlarged.

Laborers the world over are asking for fewer instead of more hours of work. Ballinger did not love Pinchott, and maybe he had some friend to whom lie wanted to give his place. Mr. Pinchott had several hundred clerks and agents in his employ and no doubt Mr. Ballinger had good friends enough to till all the positions and more besides.

The quarrel was only ended when the President decided that as forestry had no natural connection with agriculture, the bureau properly belonged to the Department of the Interior. Ballinger had won. Wilson had lost, and no doubt felt keenly his defeat, but very sensibly submitted with a good grace, lie had held his office for twelve yeabj under different administra- and never bumped his head against a stone wall, and was not going to do it now. Pinchott with bis shrewdness and the courage of a lion, kept up the tight and had to be removed by the President for insubordination. CASTELA H.

Laporte -Sunbury Game. On Tuesday the famous Laporte team crossed bats with theSunbury boys and proceeded to wipe them off the face of the earth. The gane was a little too much one sided to create very much interest however there were several good plays made and fine work was done by the local twirler. The score was 13 to 1. The Sunbury boys are a line sort and took their trouncing like gentlemen.

Carpenter struck out 15 Suuburians and Kestry 11 of our players. Two players were passed on balls by each pitcher. What a Mad Cat Will Do. A mad cat attacked Dispatcher Knapp on Main street, in Carbondale, one night last week, and imbedded its teeth in the young man's leg so (irmly, that it was necessary for some men who came to Knapp's assistance to get a cord, make a noose about the animal's neck and choke it to death liefore it's hold could be Albany Mirror. Miss Dorthy Uppman of Philadelphia, is visiting relatives in this place.

BANK OPENING. As announced in our last issue the formal opening of the new bank building took place on Saturday July 10. The directors held a meeting in the new directors' room on the first floor in tlie morning and in the afternoon the building was thrown open to public inspection. Besides the directors, many of the stockholders and patrons from out of town were present. In addition, a large number of people responded to the invitation to take a look at the new building.

Both the banking rooms and the living apartments on the second floor were opened to the public, and from three o'clock until six the reception committee was kept busy. Light refreshments were served in the front rooms up-stairs anil a general good time was enjoyed by everybody. A reception and entertainment committee consisting of Mrs. Edward Ladley, Mrs. E.

Mullen, Mrs. A. H. Buschhausen, Mrs. U.

Bird and Mrs. F. W. Meylert, had been appointed at the last meeting of the directors, and they discharged their duties in a highly pleasing and satisfactory manner, 'meriting the praise and thanks of all. The new bank building is all that could be desired in every respect.

Architect Litzelman is to be congratulated upon its plans. Contractor Rogers has erected the building on honor and it is a credit to him as a builder. On every side are heard expressions of commendation with reference to the banking room, directors' room ami vault which are models of bank construction. The success of the bank is fully assured. Although it was opened less than a year ago.

it has been fully demonstrated that it will au excellent paying institution. At the last call of the Comptroller of the Currency it showed deposits of about 825,000, loans and discounts of over and carries nearly a thousand dollars surplus. This for the first nine months of its existence is certainly a line showing. The opening last Saturday was a decided success in every particular and the directors are to be commended for their labor and congratulated upon their success. Kaglea Mere Wins.

Yes, we feci small in fact that is necessaiy to use this tine type to express our feelings. why" you infinitesimal manifestation of susceptibility?" or words to that effect. Echo answers: "Beaten; stung; hornswoggleii," and many other expressions to indicate the cause of this six-point smallness. But on after thought and a sileut rehearsal of the circumstances we convince ourself that a game of base ball played against a team of college players while dodging raindrops, is not so worse even though it did terminate in a score of 6 to 2 in favor of Kagles Mere so we will ou this conviction once more swell to normal size. Anyhow we can believe that, had not the game been called after the 7th inning on account of the deluge, we might have turned the tables.

Perhaps we are a little ahead of our story, so we will give you the synopsis at this time. It is thus: A team from Laporte journeyed to Eagles Mere; a game of base ball was called; in the first innings Eagles Mere mil some scores; Laporte did not. But in the 7th Laporte dug their toes into the muddy earth and the fleet (not cloven; hoofed editor of the News Item (decoration begins at home) paced in the first score. While the excitement was still at fever heat and Eagles Mere was off her feet Hank Carpenter came marching home with score number two. At this stage of the game Eagles Mere proposed quitting on account of rain (we have our suspicions) and that is all there is to it.
