before this committee, lie considers his
patents and inventions valuable, and in
his opinion the machines could bn manu
factured in this city at a nice profit; but as
Mr. Small has not yet made a proposition
to us us to what he would take for bis pat -

To the officers nnd members of the Scran-
ton Board of T-nde:
Gi:nti.emi;.n Your committee on legisla
tion and taxes beg to oner the following
report:
We waited ou his honor, the mayor,
relative to the cow nuisance and he stated
to us that ho had already stated to this
b iurd by letter that the present ordinance
was larking in its most essential point, in
that it failed to provide for an appropria
tion to defray the expenses of pounds, and
until a new oruiuance was passed He could
do nothing further toward aoating the
nuisance.
We therefore recommend that this board
through its secretary respectfully request
tue city solicitor to irame un ordinunce
that will be effective and present it before
councils at once for their immediate aud
favorable consideration.

N. E. Rice was the only director who
could be found bv a Thibune roporter

mention in detail the purpose of the
new company, he said it was neither a
real estate nor building lot scheme, but
that the company intends to develop

SHOT BY OFFICER SNYDER.
Daniel Farrcll Dangerously Wounded
for Throwing Pebbles at an Offiicer,
Taken to Lackawanna Hospital.
Daniel Fnrrell, a well known yonnij
man of Priceburg, was shot at that place
Sunday evening by Oliiuer James
buyder and at noon yesterday was
brought to the Lackwanua hospital,
where the bullet was extracted, rar-
rell will recover.
From the facts obtained it appears
that though Furrell wus euilty of
wrong doing, the act of the policeman
was unwarranted. The young man,
after being reprimanded for some
petty HCt, playfully threw a handful
of pebbles at the policeman. Officer
Snyder then fired several shots, only
one of which took effect.
Farrell was taken home and then
brought to the Lackawauna hospital
yesterday. He will cot discuss the
affair aud it cannot be learned thut
any legal action will follow.

When novelty manufacturers go so
far as to make pocket books from itn
ported "iiako stdns and charge from
$05 to $00 per dozen, wholesale, for the
buished article, It mut be that the
American woman is indeed enamored
of everything faddish. A variety of
these snake ekin novelties were shown
Tkiiic.ne reporter by a commercial
mau at tho Wyoming the other day.
At retail they sell at from $7 to $11
each, yet wear out after being used oue
season. The firm which manufactures
the article had the foresight last your to
foresee that something unusual iu
pocketbooks would have to b supplied
to take the place of the lizard skin, so
popular during the lust two years. Tue
result was the cornering of tho snake
skin markets in South America and In-
lia. The anacoudu, python and boa
constrictor, at sight of which most
womeu would faint, cfljr the most
popular hides for the latsst fad, and it
seems a sort of irony that these same
femiuiue fingers will in future tightly
clutch a few square inches of the mon
sters' skin.
The ' reporter expressad some sur
prise at the success of the innovation,
when the drummer declared that the
snake-skin books would last but one
season, "That cats no figure," said
the drummer; "its the fad, my boy, its
the fad." This Isd to a statement by
the commercial man that a bullet from
a revolver would not penetrate the skin
of a live lizzard and that they bud to
be shot in the head or under a lsg to be
captured.
Wide-awake mercbauts from year to
year become better acquainted with
the benefits derived from a properly
displayed und well-worded advertise
ment. The columns of the local daily
papers testify that the merchant of to
day aspires to know when and how to
advertise, and this knack is culled
"art iu advertising." The custom of
today is vastly diU'ereut from years
ago, and this statement is confirmed
by an advertisement which appeared
iu the first issue of a paper published
in Jermyn which mentioued among
other articles, Ice Cream, Fireworks,
Christmas Presents und Easter Cards.
This advertisement appeared without
change in every issue for two years.

On Sunday O. S. Swikorr. of Everett
avenuo, West Side, found floating iu
the wuter of Gravel Pond, a bottle
tightly corked, inside of which was a
scrap of yellow paper containing t!:o
following announcement:

the deed. P. O'IIkik:.'.
Mr. Swikert had besn fishing and in
rowing across the pond lie saw the Lot
tie iloating about the cantor of the
pond. The yellow paper inside tiie
bottle nroinod his curiosity und ho
optied it. He rowed itUout for un hour
with a view to discover something fur
ther that might throw light on the
mysterious missive contained in the
bottle.
Mr. Swik.'it iijwn reaching home
wont to the Wtst Side police station
and reported the grnosome discovery
