NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS
Interesting Items From Various Points in
th County. Reported by Our Staff of
Correspondents.
East Benton.
Hon. James McHenry of Cambra,
has returned from the city with a full
assortment of fall and winter goods.
The road question does not agitate
our people nearly as much as the
question of bridges. Our township
is traversed by numerous small
streams, and old wooden bridges need
to be superceded by more substantial
structures,
A protracted series of meeting was
begun at Haruiline week ago last Sun
day night by Rev. King of the Benton
M. E. charge. That a great revival
nay result from this protracted effort
is devoutly hoped and wished for.
A bridge at this place over one
branch of Ravencreek was torn out,
preparatory to the building of a new
arch stone structure.
We notice a great many hunters
promenading the secret haunts of
game with empty knapsacks. Evi
dently the game like the Democrats,
went into their holes, and pulled the
boles in after them.
Sile McHenry, of Cambra, spent
a week in Wyoming County, hunting.
We are informed that he returned
after bagging 72 pheasants, 20 ducks
and a thousand, more or less yes,
many more, or many less, of wood
cock. The farmers generally in this local
ity are nearly ready to go into winter
quarters. But the 44 barrel " of cider
is lacking in the social enjoyment of
evening visits among the neighbors
But then we are not now on the eve
of a 44 hard cider campaign."
A few weeks of fine weather is
desirable to consummate the neces
sary fail work before the advent ol
winter.
General panic and general depress
ion played general havoc with general
consumption and the general ballots
played the deal with faithless Demo
cratic leadeis; but, the 14 Wilson
Bill " will even all things up for '96.
The coal oil excitement in lower
Luzerne County of which we read so
much in the papers of late, like the
different railroads never develop any
further than the newspapers develop
them. We would like to see them
go to digging.
Political lightning strikes with
crushing effect ; but it always does
the most damage where it don't hit.
The troubled political seas are not
yet at rest. The tide among the
surging masses rises higher and
higher aud well may the leaders of
all political parties tremble in their
boots. The coming storms will be
still more cyclonic.
One of the best signs of the times
is. that the people are no longer
4 hide bound," nor wedded to any
political party. Bosses and ring rule
get smashed as soon as any machine
attempts, to operate in lieu of the will
of the people. After all, wherever
the voters assert their independence
then are they free and independent.
Old Joe Spinnagle, who was a can
didate from the 99th Congressional
district for Congress was the worst
defeated man that ever ran for any
office. On hearing the news the
next morning he remarked hat hi
was the " only man that ever survived
a plunge in the rapids of Niagra fall."
44 You even didn't take de life boat
mid you, did you Joe ?" remarked
old mamma Spinnagle.

was adjourned until Saturday at 2 p.

Undisputed Merit.
The great success of the Royal
Baking l'owder is due to the extreme
care exercised by its manufacturers to
make it entirely pure, uniform in
quality, and of the highest leavening
power. All the scientific knowledge,
care and skill, attained by a twenty
years' practical experience are con
tributed toward this end, and no phar
maceutical preparation can be dis
pensed with a greater accuracy, pre
cision and exactness. Every article
used is absolutely pure. A number of
chemists are employed to test the
strength of each ingredient, so that its
exact power and effect in combination
with its co-ingredients are definitely
known. Nothing is trusted to chance,
and no person is employed in the
preparation of the materials used or
the manufacture of the powder, who
is not an expert in his particular
branch of the business. As a conse
quence, the Royal Baking Powder is
of the highest grade of excellence,
always pure, wholesome and uniform
in quality. The contents of each box
are exactly like every other, and will
retain their powers and produce the
same and the highest leavening effect
in any climate, at any time. The Gov
ernment chemists, after having ana
lyzed all the principal brands in the
market, in their reports placed the!
K.oyal Baking Powder at the head of
the list for strength, purity and whole-
someness and thousands of tests all ,
over the country have further demon
strated the fact that its qualities are,
in every respect, unrivalled.
Free Agricultural Instruction
We are in receipt of a neatly illus
trated catalogue of the Courses in Ag
riculture at the Pennsylvania State
College. In addition to the regular
Collegiate Course the College offers a
twelve weeks' free lecture in Agricul
ture, Horticulture and Veterinary
Science, adapted to the wants of the
gene-al farmer ; two six weeks' Courses
for dairymen one to fit men to man
age creameries and one for the dairy
farmer.
These Short Courses are within the
easy reach of every farmer in this
County and should be liberally patron
ized. The College also offers a carefully
arranged Course of home reading in
agriculture and horticulture, which is
free with the exception of a small
cost for books.
In a recent address before the State
Board of Agriculture; Ex-Governor
Beaver made the statement that there
should beat least one thousand young
farmers in these lecture Courses this
winter, and many times this number
in the Course of home reading.

H. 0. Lee in Trouble.
Here is the Story He Tells a Sun Reporter.
The party named in th following
article from the Williamsport Sun, of
last Friday, spent some time in
Bloomsburg in the interest of the as
sociation mentioned. The Sun says :
mnton o. l,ee, formerly manager
of the local branch of the Anglo-
American bavings and Loan associa
tion of New York, who was arrested
in New York Saturday night on a
warrant issued by Thomas Kahler, of
Hughesville, charged with defrauding
him of $650, arrived in the city last
night in charge of Chief of Police
Russell.
Among the earliest callers that met
the accused agent in his cell yester
day was a Sun reporter. Prior to the
latter's interview Lee had been in con
sultation with two of his warmest
friends, he claimed H. V. White
head, Esq., who is at present repre
senting the Anglo-American company
in this city, and James Mansel a well
known lumberman. Aside from re
questing Mr. Whitehead to engage
him counsel, Lee claimed the meet
ing had no other significance than a
friendly call. The Sun representative
was greeted with a warm shake of the
hand by Lee when he stepped to the
entrance.
lee's story.
44 Come in and be seated. I can
only offer you the accomodations at
hand a chair, or perhaps you will
take a seat on my cot ? Have I any
thing to say? Yes; this much you
can say for Lee : that so far as having
misappropriated funds with criminal
intent, I am innocent, as the Most
High is my judge. I admit, however,
I was indiscreet, grossly indiscreet.
Not extravagant, mind you, not in
high living, not through any of the ex
cesses which people are so apt to
think is the primary cause of all down
falls. No, sir ; it was none of them."
Here Lee was overcome ,and turned
his head to wipe away the tears.
HK SHEDS TEARS.
44 You will find," he went on. 44 or
I'm no prophet, that when my books
are laid bare for inspection, when my
transactions are opened to public in
spection and criticism, the very men
who are prosecuting me now will,
when the truth is known, want to be
friend me. I admit receiving $6o by
cnecic trom Mr. Kahler, for which he
was to receive preferred stock of the
Anglo American association. John H.
Gwinner was another patron of one
and one-half shares of a like issue.
They did not receive the shares pur
chased, but the money was deposited
in the Merchant's National bank, and
was paid out for legitimate expenses
in carrying on the business of the as
sociation. Every dollar was spent in
this city. The fabrication that I used
the money on Wall street is made out
of whole cloth. I never in my life ir
vested one penny in Wall street."
Again Mr. Lee turned aside to
brush away the tears. Resuming, he
said : 44 1 feel my position keenly j I
am a broken man without money. But
I have this satisfaction,' tapping his
breast, 44 in here my conscience tells
me that I am innocent of any wrong
doing I have blundered to an extent
that now appears appalling, but I was
led on by the desire to place my com
pany in the first rank. I worked day
and night with this sole purpose, for
by doing so I was advancing my own
interests,
A RAP AT HIS AGENTS.
44 Then again. I employed too many
incompetent agents, some of whom I
paid $3o per monti and expenses
Their returns frequently were not
more than sufficient to offset the sum
expended in railroad fare for a day's
ride. I kept them on, hoping they
would do better, but the idea was
elusive and into their pockets went
the bulk of the money with which I
am tha-ged."
Lee then began to talk in a rambling,
unconnected manner, telling how he
had been reared in luxury in Georgia,
never having experienced want. The
present circumstances were in strange
contrast to what he had been used to.
Until now he had not known the value
of a dollar. It was a matter of little
moment when he was himself, whether
a transaction in which he was inter
ested involved $500 or t,ooo, it was
all the same.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT.
Catching himself wandering from
the subject, Lee broke out with 1 "Tell
the people that Lee will ask for three
disinterested persons to examine his
books and let them make public any
disclosure that may seem fit. I will
face my accusers and when they know
all, they will not spurn Lee, but, I
venture to say, will take his hand.
The books will show the money went
to increase the operations of the com
pany and not one penny more than
was necessary for maintenance for
Lee and his family went in that direc
tion." With all Lee's talk he failed to re
ply each time to the questions put to
him as to the reason why Kahler and
Gwinner did not receive their stock.
He talks freely on every topic save
that transaction.
Mr. Lee's agents claim that he owes
them from $50 to $100 apiece for
work.
In speaking of the affair to-day, Mr.
Kahler said that the company has of
fered to deliver the ten shares of stock
for which he paid Lee. but since the
trouble he has declined to accept the
proffer, but wants his money.
WAIVED A HEARING.
Lee appeared at 2 o'clock in com
pany wiih his counsel, Hon. W. E.
Ritter, and Chief of Police Russell.
He waived a hearing and bail was
fixed at $1,000. Not finding a bonds
men he was remanded for trial at the
December criminal sessions.
