ERIARCEEEK. Mr. Samuel Slicker lost a very valuable horse on last Sunday. Snow on the 6th of May, put a great many farmers out of the notion to plant corn yet. Mr. Clemucl Wooilin, of Berwick is fast building his summer residence in Nriarcreek, which is about one mile north of Berwick, This will be one of the grainiest sites in the community. Mr. Samuel Knorr has under his management a very large registered Clydesdale stallion. The stallion weighs fourteen hundred pounds, and is only three years old. We under stand a stock company of twenty four farmers of Mifllinville and Briarcreek township have an interest in the horse. Ash & Bro. resumed operations at their distillery on the first of May. We see M:. L. 1). Kase making his Jaily visits to their place again. That's tight, Mr. Kase keep them straight. We hear the cry from most every enes lips, that the cold weather I am afraid has killed all the fruit. A surprise party was given for Mrs. S. Barton on last Saturday afternoon being her birthday. She received some very valuable presents. A dozen cane-bottom choirs, stands, and many oMier smaller things, which were very much appreciated. poultey notes no. 1 6. Filth, lice, disease, death. Did you notice that smell when you passed the hen house ? It will pay in the health of the family and poultry, to clean cups, and disinfect with carbolic acid diluted in water. There are poultry houses that are not safe to enter, unless you wish to be attacked by millions of lice. How is yours ? Now is the time to white wash and clean up, and make things smell clean and sweet. It pays to make pets of your stock of any kind as you will thereby get the best results. Red Caps, says the Fancier a Jieview, derive their name from the bright red caps shaped comb which adorns their heads which in cocks grows to a large size. The Red Caps have never undergone any of the process of breeding stnetly for fancy points alone, utility being placed first, fancy coming in as an after considera tion, it is hard to find a handsomer fowl than the Red Caps. The male is a bird of handsome appearance, broad in breast, wide across the shoulders, and good length of limb. Comb should be large, erect, nicely shaped, and full of points with straight spike behind. It should also be per fectly firm on the the head. In color the cock is rich dark red with black breast and tail. The comb of the hen is similar only smaller, the feath ers on breast, back, saddle, shoulders, and underparts arc rich neat brown, each feather tipped with a bluish black spanglej they are nonsellers, and ex traordinary good layers, wherever kept they make themselves favorites. With regard to utility, very few breeds will turn out as many eggs in the course of a year. W. B. German.

A Crank Who Wanted Jay Gould to Divide Up- A dangerous crank, who gives his name as Charles J. Dickson, was ar rested last week at the request of Jay Gould. Dickson went on Monday to the house of Dr. Munn, Gould's phy sician, and announced that he was vice president of an order called "The Christ Followers" and that he had a mission to kill Jay Gould. If, how ever, the millionaire would give him $60,000 and make certain arrange ments for the distribution of for his property to charity he would refrain from assassination. Dix on will be examined as to his sanity. On Dixon's person when arrested was found a blackjack and a pistol. He made no resistance and after reaching police headquarters told Po lice Inspector Byrnes that he was in the land commission business at Pueb lo, Col, and left there on April 15. He related a thrilling story to .the in spector about four men he had killed single handed while they attempted to rob his office of legal papers He said he joined the "Christ Followers" about a year ago in the following manner. He was instructed to go to a place called Owl's Head, on the Canada line. He stayed until dark and then about fifty men appeared and surrounded him. He was made to kneel and take a number of blood curd.ing oaths. The object of the organization was for the equalization of money. The council met about the '15th of last month, he said, and convicted Jay Gould. It fell to his lot to go to New York and make certain proposals to Mr. Gould regarding the distribution of his wealth, and if they were not complied with he was to kill himself. He would go to Hartford, Conn., his native place, where he had a spot se lected for the deed. He said he would have two pistols, one to fire in to the air and the other to shoot him self with. This would give the im pression that he had been murdered. The police regard the man as a very dangerous crank.

Saving Human Life AN INVENTION THAT APPREHENDS THE DEADLY GAS IN A COAL MINE. William K. Lord, of Mt. Carmel, and William Bullock, of Centralia were in Pottsville to-day, and appeared be fore the Mine Commission which is in session at the Court House. Their object was to lay before that body the advantages of a draft annunciator for mines, that they have invented, and if possible, to get the commission to recommend the adoption in their report. In coal mines there is liability of violent and destructive explosions from accumulations of gas, and this trouble is peculiarly liable in anthracite min ing. To obviate this danger it is nec essary to have an air current constant ly maintained, the circulation being by airways. Upon the strength and vigor of the air current depends the safety of the mine, and a cessation of the circulation would allow a dangerous accumulation of gas which might ex plode. The purpose of this annunci ator, a model of which was shown and its workings fully explained to the commission, is to furnish automatic and reliable indication of the air cur rent, and to record the same on a di al, also to transmit the signal sounds through the medium of a telephone or electric bell to the office of general management in the mining district. The device embodies a rotating fan of any efficient construction mounted within the return airway of the mine. On the shaft of this fan is a worm wheel that engages with a train of gear ing, whose lower termination turns the index hand of the dial, thus indicating the amount of revolutions accom plished by the fan wheel. On the last wheel of the series is also a number of stud projections, which consecutive ly engage with an arm from a rock shaft, which has an upward stem so arranged as to come in contact with the post, causing an alternate opening and closing of an electric current that operates an alarm bell, which may be placed in the central office. By this arrangement the managers can at all times be informed of the state of affairs regarding the air passages in the vari ous mines; Inside the hollow hub of the fan wheel is placed a slip collar on the axis stem, connected by small spring rods to one end of the aperture; These spring rods have small ball weights centrally placed, so that rapid rotation inclines them outward by cen trifugal force, which draws the collar away from a contact screw that closes a circuit. When the motion of the fan wheel is very sluggish or stops en tirely for want of propelling current, the collar is pressed in contact with the screw and causes the alarm bell to ring continuously during the subsi dence of the air movement, thus warn ing the management to be on his guard.
