F.LECTRIOTKD TO DEATH.
An Acentzlnc Sight WItaeaaed In th
Streets or Hoftten A Deg Cremated.
Frem the Bosten Herald.
In full view of several thousand peo
ple a large black mastiff wan slowly
burned te death at 8 o'clock last evening
en Washington tract, close te Dlx Place.
l-and the cremating agent waa nothing less
inan ine a eatery electric nuia. Hanging in
front of the show window of the estab
lishment, 727 tnd 731 Washington
tract, ,1a a large lamp , of the arc
electric light pattern. At just about 8
o'clock the deemed animal, a handsome
beast, with cropped ears and a black.
Rlessy fur that showed him te be well'
groomed, ran across the Mdewalk and
egan te nose around the Iren framework
of the entrance te Ne. 727. Suddenly the
deg was drawn up against the Iren frame
of the show-window, almost underneath
the am lamp, and the animal's head was
glued fast te the Iren pillar supporting the
entrance girder, while flashes of blue flame
and clouds of smoke shot out from Its nese
and ears. It required fully three minutes
of this roasting process te preduce death,
and during hat time the suffering
animal emitted a series of yells that
could have been distinctly heard six
blocks. The cries of the peer, suffering
beast were most pltlrai, and thousands or
people crowded into Washington street and
steed horrified at the spectacle, notwith
standing the fact that It waa only the lire of
a deg that was being sacrificed te the electric
monster. Anether deg came along, and, as
If seized with a desire te lend succor te .its
kind in distress, started te cress the
sidewalk, where the roasting animal
waa giving up Ills life, but, owing te the
moisture that covered the pavement,
the sidewalk was thoroughly charged
with electricity, and just as seen as
the second deg placed his paw en the stde(
walk he was snot Inte the air .with a hew
of pain, and scampered off out of
sight. Officer Goede, of division -I, who was
en the route at the time, and a detail of
officers from station 4, put in an appearance
and blockaded that side of Washington
street above and below the sceno of treuble
for evor an hour until notlce was seut te
the electric fighting company and the cir
cuit shut off, which removed the danger.
Officer Goede, before the current was cut
off.managed te pull the body of the deg
from its crematory against the building by
attaching a shovel te a pole. He received
some powerful shocks while removing the
deg, as did ethers who assisted 111 in, but
nobody received any severe Injury. The
private night watchman en the route re
ceived a Bheck. but net e f a serious char
acter. It is believed that the sagging of a
poorly-protected wire caused the' electric
fluid te run astray, and the damp condition
of the de walk make It a fl rst-class recel vor
and distributor of the deadly current.
ACQUITTED, THOUQn OUILTV.
A Liquor Dealer Admits Vielating: the
Law The Judge's Remarks.
One of the most astounding verdicts ever
rendered by a Lackawanna jury was that
en Tuesday, which declared Patrick Leftus
net guilty of selling liquor without a
license, and putting the costs upon the
county, despite the tact that Leftus hlmself
en the witness stand swore that he had
violate! the law, and the charge or
Judge Connelly that the jury should find
Leftus guilty if his testimony was te be
bel loved.
The verdict was recorded by Judge Arch
bald, but when Judge Connelly, who tried
the case, heard of the venlict lie went upon
the beuch and had the jurors summoned
before him. The Judge told them they
were a disgrace te the Intelligence of Lack
awanna county : that their action made a
farce of a court of Justice, and te show the
jitter contempt in which the court held
such a verdict, he would new publicly dls-
?;ruce them by discharging them from
urther service en this panel of Jurers ;
also that their names be preserved, that the
jury commissioners, and whatever judge
would hereafter fill the jury wheel, might
take notice that none of the twelve should
hereafler be drawn as Jurersinthe county.
They were then dismissed with instruc
tions tint they wero entitled te ene day's
lav.
Judge Connelly's scathing words croated
a decided sensation throughout legal and
business circles in the city. Prosldent
Judge Archbald afterwards upheld the de
cision of Judge Connelly.

Geerge A. Jcnks, of 1'cnnsylvanln, who
was solicitor general under the Cle eland
administration, and who 1ms been in
Washington te attend te business befere
the supreme court. Is enthusiastic ever the
prospects of the Democratic party In lS'.C
" We are Just w here we should be," he
said te a Pittsburg Dispatch correspondent,
" Until 188S the party had no policy ox ex ox
eept that opposition te evcry thing Repub
lican. It-was a pull back, net n go-ahead
party, but en the Issue drawn In the last
presldental contest, we can carry ou an ag
gressive warfare as long ns thorn Is an
enemy In sight. There Is another great ad
vantage for us in the present situation, and
that Is that every convert we malte Is
meved by principle, net by mero sentiment
of self interest. That means n long and
Vigorous llfe for the party. "
"Will Mr. Cloveland be a presidential
candldate again In 180.1? "
" That Is still nearly thrce years In llie
futarc, and I am net n prophet, Mr.
Cleveland has, however, put himself dis
tinctly at the head of the jurty, and It can
not ignore the principles he represents.
Ne man ever stepped mero nobly Inte the
breach than he did when he took his stand
unequivocally en the tariff question. It
was an act at ence statesmanlike, patriotic
and politically far-sighted. Hlscourage has
commanded the admiration even of Mr.
Cleveland's blltorest fees, end every leader
en the Republican slde who can leek ahead
any distance is frightened at the eonso eenso eonse
quoncos te that party which must Inevita
bly onsue. We only need te have the
tariff question fairly debated before the
peeple te make a Doinecrat of every man
who has intelligonce enough te fellow the
discussion through. If the Democratic
standard-bearer in 1802 Is net Mr. Cleve Clevo Clove
land hlmself, it is safe te sa', at le.ist, that
it will be n Doinecrat personifying the
same ideas and spirit as he."
Mr. Jcnks bel loves that the Democrats In
the Heuse have right entirely en their slde
In the struggle for the rights of the minor
ity and that the peeple will sustain them.
He feels no doubt or the insult il'tbe ques
tion at issue can be brought -Inte court in
the proper manuer, as lie has recently had
'occasion te study the leading Judicial de
cisions covering the chief points involved.

An EnterprlalUK Citizen Of the Lewer
End, Who Was Evtecmed Br Wlde
Circle A Sketch Of His Caroer.
Quarryvillk, Feb. ft. IUnlel D. Hess
died ofdlabetosothls home horelast night,
lit the 51th year of his age. '
Mr. Hess waa born In the lower end of
this county, and lived with the late Jacob
Krolder, of Fulton township, until he was
sixteen years old when he eame te Quarry Quarry
vllle and began work In the quarries as a
laborer. After four years he married
Catherine, daughter of the late Daniel Lo Le
fevor, when he went Inte the llme busi
ness, which he carried en successfully
until 1S7C. IIe was for years tie largest
operator In llrhe In this county, employing a
very large force of men and having several
teams ou the read ; he burned mera
llme in ene month than Is new burned al
Quarryvllle In a year. After he retired
from the llme trade, he sold it out te Ida
son, S. M. Hess, who also carried It en
successfully for soveral years. Mr. Hess
built the warehouses en the Quarryvllle
rail read, and he carrled en a very extcnsl ve
cool and lumber business for soma time,
when he sold It out and built himself a fine
home In Quarryvllle. He atlemptcd te re
tire end glve attention te his farms, bntth..t
was tee slew for him, nnd he started
Inte the manufacture of phesphate In
Roadlug,whcre he built a large concern and
which he with his sous, S. M. and G. B. Mc,
have made a success and have been doing
nn lmmouse business, shipping their goods
all evor this state and ethers.
During the tlme Mr. Hess was In the
llme, coal and lumber business he was
also engaged In otlier enterprises nnd two
or the best farms iu this section are the
result of his work. The ene new owned
by Henry Sbaub he beugld, as an old Held
and with llme and geed farming brought
It up and sold It te Mr. Shaub. The ethor
Is new owned by Samuel WItmer and when
Mr. Hess bought It It was a howling wilder
ness known as the "Scotchman farm." He
put en a big foice or men, cut off thousands
or cords or weed, built a bone mill en It
and before he sold It raised big crops. He
built a very flue set of buildings en It.
Mr. Hess was ene of the leading men In
the building of the Quarryvllle railroad,
was a stockholder and a director until
the tlme of his dealli. He, In connection
witli Daniel Balr, graded the read from
Quarryvllle le New Provldence when It
was constructed. IIe also built quite a
number of houses In Quarryvllle and en

or building.
In 1802 he built the large store hoijse new
ewned by G. W.. Heusel; he was In the
morcantlle business for about two years,
when he sold out te Mr. Hensel. Fer the
last year he has net been in geed health.
He left the actlve part of his busluess te
his sous, nnd has been giving most of his
tlme te the Improvement of his rami and
te the raising or fine Nteck, In which he
took much pleasure.
He leaves a wlfe and three daughters,
Annie, wlfe or D. M. Beffenmyer, and
Mary end Clara, both of whom are slngle
and at home. He also has flve sons, S. M.
and G.B.Mc, who nre leading business men
and his partners lu the phesphate business.
The former, who is living lu Quarryvllle,
attends le the soiling or the goods evor
the st:.te, and the latter lives lu Reading
and leeks after the shipping and manufac
turing Interests. He Is also a momberof
Reading's council mid a leading Demo

Quarryvllle. W. J. Hess Is a well known
farmer, and .Emmet, the youngest, has
been until lately a clerW In the Quarryvllle
bank. Hels new at college finishing his

In politics Daniel D. Hess was an" un
swerving Doinecrat, and was prominent In
his party ; he never was ambitious te held
an ofllce in It, but was'ajustice or the peace

The first view of the sun can new be had
about 7 a, m., nnd the days are ten hours
and nlnoteou minutes long. During the
month he gets 49 62' nearer the equater,
and the days at the close of the month are
lengthened by Just about ene hour.
Saturn begins the month as morning star,
but en the lsth of the month It is in appo
sition with the sun, rising as the latter sets,
and after that date it ranks among the
ovenlng planets. An observer who knows
the star group familiarly designated as the
sickle will readily be able te find Saturn,
as he is sorenely shining a degroe te the
eastward of Regulus, the brightest star of
the group. As ene dogree Is nearly twlce
the diameter of the moon, the gradually
lessening distance between the star anil
filanet will form an interesting feature, par
IcuUrly as the two ceme qulte clese to

The chief Interest among the planets for
the year centres about Mars, which re
mains morning star until May 27, when
occurs the "opposition or Mars." At this
tlme the earth, planet and sun will all be
the same straight line, and consequently
we shall be nearer the Martian than nt
any tlme during the year. These opposi
tions ceme nbeut every 20 months, and
very 15 years they occur when the two
planets ure noarest te each ether.
When ene Is conversant with the posi
tions of a few of the principal stars he has
at his command the means of ascertaining
the whereabouts of the remaining stars or

whoreabouts or the North Star, nnd proba
bly most, or us are by this tlme well ac
quainted with the constellutlon known as
the Great Hear, or mero famltlarlv as the
Dlpper. The two stars forming tlie outer
portion of tlie Dlpper are called the
Pointers, ns they always point to
wards the Pole Star. With this ns
a beginning we can find the ethor
bright stars. The planets, wandering
about as they de, are net Included
iu theso rules of thumb. A line from Po

Arcturus. ene of the brightest stars. A line
from Polaris, porpendicular te the direc
tion of the Pointers nnd ou the opposite slde
te the Great Dear, passes a 48 degroes' dis
tance through the beautiful whlte star
Capclla, and in this same line nnd about
the same distance en the onpesito slde of
the pelp is a bright star in tue Harp called
Vega. About 2.1 degrees te the eastward of
this star, and almost the same distance
from Polaris, is the brightest or the group
known as the Swan.
A line drawn frein Polaris, betwoeu Co Ce
pella and a star near It te the eastward,
passes J ust te the west or the grandest of
all constellatlons, Orien, which, from the
beginning or astronomy and probably long
bofero astronomy was thought et, was
figured as a giant; sometlmos a giant hun
