PRISONERS' BOARD. Sheriff Knt has been asking for an increased allowance for board ing piisoners in the county jail. For some years past the county has paid twenty-five cents a day, and Sheriff Knt very justly feels that he should le allowed more now, owing to the increased cost of nearly ev erything eatable. The commis sioners have declined to yield to the Sheriff's request until now. In or der to settle the matter a meeting ! was held on Tuesday in the Com-1 nussioners' office. After some dis i cussion it was finally agreed that the matter should be brought be fore the Court by the Sheriff pre senting a petition setting forth the facts, and asking the Court to fix the price. This will bring up the whole question. Yesterday morning at 6 30 the thermometer stood at 39 degrees. There was a light frost. Success and Financial DEEDS RECORDED.

The law fixiug the rate of fare on railroads at two cents a mile went into effect on Tuesday. Fred B Ilartman, who is making a busi ness trip for Creasy & Wells this week to Scranton, .Ilazleton, and other points, was the first one to buy a ticket on the D. L. & W. under the new schedule.

On the big roads it will not work this way for long distances. For instance, the round trip fare to Wilkes-Barre was $1.58, now it is 5i.6o. The round trip to Phila delphia on the P. & R. was 5.65, now it is $2.92 each way, or $5.84. School Teacher Dies.
