Flttston. March 1. The old-time
fair of the Eagle Hose company cloned
last evening with their usual old-time
success. Nearly all contests were
closed. The cyclone mine drill contest
will not close until next month. The
receipts of the fair were beyond ex
pectations of the members of the com
pany, and amounted to nearly $1,800.
Thewlnnefof the bicycle contest, which
closed last nltrht, was Frank Kuschel,
Who had collected J73.S0. George Em
ory had $31,50. Miss Muttie Kogers
held the ticket that drew the sewing
machine.
HuKkct Hall Game.
An Interesting game of basket ball
Was played at Armory hall this even
ing between the PlttHton and Wilkes
UJarre teams. During the first half of
the game no goals were made. At the
beginning of the. second half a busket
was thrown by Bryden. of 1'lttston.
The Wtlkes-Barre players carried out
the usual programme by raising a dis
pute over the play that had sounded
their doom. When unable to bluff the
umpire Into deciding according to their
ideas the baby players from Wllkes
Barre withdrew from the game, which
was decided In favor of Flttston by a
score of 1 to 0. Umpire, Kenstermoch
er; referee, Phillips; linesman, Kugene
Smith.
The league standing Is now as fol
lows: Won. Lost.

The entertainment was further en
livened by an athletic exhibition that
would have done credit to Barnum's
circus. The high jumping contest was
von by Will Koons. who walked on the
air a distance of seven feet and live
inches. Mr. Koons received a prize in
shape of a handsome pair of ebonized
Indian clubs.
.Meeting of School Board.
A regular meeting of the school board
Was held In the high school building
tonight. In the absence of President
Hlnes Director Bryden sustained the
dignity of the chair. The meeting was
uraeventful save for a dispute that
arose over a request made by Musical
Director Johns, through Mr. McCor
mlck, for an increase of salary. Mr.
Johns directs the vocal education of the
pupils In the public schools for the
paltry sum of $23. Considering the pos
sible results of his tuition the teacher
held that the amount was entirely too
small for the service rendered. There
was no music In the souls of the ma
jority of the board, however, and they
promptly rebuked the presumption of
the musician In requesting an Increased
compensation for work that should
have been performed for love alone
A number of bills were ordered paid,
and the tax of Mrs. W. Gillespie was
exonerated.
Election Board Case.
The case of Wilbur E. Howell vs.
John Clifford and the election board of
the Second election district of Avoca,
was given a hearing before Justice
Khret this afternoon, who made It re
turnable to the term of court which
convenes in April next. Ball to' the
amount of $.T0O each was required of
the board, which consisted of Michael
Torney, Judge of election; James Ryan,
and James Greegall, inspectors;
(Michael Tornpy becoming bondsman
for them. Clifford was held under $200,
Which was secured by Philip Clifford.
A Sorrowful Talc.
For a fews days past, a little child
has been begging on our streets. When
questioned she told the most pitiful
tale. Her mother, she claims, Is dead,
and her father, a miner, turns her out
and looks the door when he goes to
work In the morning. She wanders
about the street and requests pennies of
the passerby. Our authorities will no
doubt investigate the matter and see
that the child Is property cared for.
.Miscellaneous Items.
All regular subscriptions to the
Bcranton Tribune will be received at
our local office. No. 8 South Main street.
The Infant child of Mr. and Mrs. W.
F. Carpenter, 338 Delaware avenue,
died last night of membraneous croup.
The funeral will take place Sunday
from the family residence. Interment
at West Plttston cemetery.
The boys on the I.ehlgh Valley claim
that business Is Improving.
A telegram was received from Philip
IP. Kelley by Borough Treasurer L,an
gan yesterday. In which Mr. Kelley ex
pressed his willingness to pay the ac
crued interest on the bonds purchased
by him a month ago. The bonds have
been shipped to him by express today.
The bonds were deposited with the
Winers' bank after being received and
Igned, and payment on them will be
made through the same Institution.
The barbers of the East Side have
agreed to close their shops at 8 p. m.,
commencing Monday, March 4, Wed-
"AJ1 In a Bow."
It is a unique sight
to view at Carlsbad the
motley row of drinkers of
all nations, languages,
Jmanners and costumes
hurrying down in single
file to the boiling Spradel Spring
with an earthenware mug in their
hands, or slang by a strap aronnd
their neck or over the shoulder,
and patiently waiting their turn
to sip of the precious fluid. For
three centuries or moro, all sorts
and conditions of men, from the
king to the tramp, have pilgrim
ized hither in search of new life or
relief from pain. Bat we cannot
in these competitive days afford
the time and money to travel so
far afield, so it is brought to your
doors bottled in its natural and
original form at the Spring, or
in powder evaporated on the spot,
and so well known as the Carls
bad Sprudel Water, and Carlsbad
Sprndel Salt. The ; signature,
' "Eisner & Mendelson Co., Sole
Agents, New York," is on every
bottle. Beware of imitations.
nesdays and Saturdays excepted. It Is
expected that the barbers of the West
Side will Join in this movement..
George P. Strome, of the firm of
Hart, Lea & Strome, Wllkes-Barre, was
,a visitor in town today.
All breakers of the Pennsylvania Coal
company In this section, with the ex
ception of Ewen and Barnum breakers,
are expected to work next week.
Mr. Fox, proprietor of the Anthracite
Hotel, Carbondale, was calling on
friends In this city today.
Miss Carrie Miller was a visitor In
Scranton today.
INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
The coal tonnage of the Heading rallroud
for the week Jiml ended was L"J7,W0 tons, un
Increuae over the preceding week of about
5S.000 tons and an Increuse over the corre
sponding week Inst year of 49,212 tons;
for the fiscal year to date the tonnujre Is
2.754,337 tons, an increase over the same
period lust year of 12ti,077 tons.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
sharply draws the line between stock coal
ami that known us tlrst-class coal. The
former, It Hays, may have been sold from
$L'.7.ri to $3 per ton, but it Is curtain thut the
selling price of the latter is between $3.3U
and $3.40. It says that forebeuninee, con
cessions and far-sightedness are indis
pensable) to save the trudo from further
losses.
The collieries In and near Harleton are
muklng heavy shipments these days.
The rallroud companies are furnishing all
the empty cars possible but their utmost
endeavors cannot comply with the ile
niand. The breukera, too, are In better
condition to prepare a greater amount of
coul than they were lust summer. Dur
ing the slack times of the past several
months the officials paid marked atten
tion to the improvement of the muchlnery.
These improvements will continue to be
useful for a. year or more and the coming
summer will note the largest production
of coal from all tho collieries In this dis
trict in their history. The coal shipments
on the Mahunoy division are the heaviest
on record and even the great reserve of
coal crews are unable to move all the
h.iw.1. The Heading coul brunches urn
also rushed since the blizzard and the
dully shipments down the main line is
from l,4tx to l.COO loaded cars. A vu.st
amount of coal Is being moved from the
storuge yards at many points. On .Satur
day and Sunday 2,900 cars were shipped to
tidewater. All the repair shops have been
ordered to work ten hours per day. The
Jersey Central are also doing un Im
mense coal business at the present time.
Crews are working overtime and the de
mand for motive power is becoming more
pressing. Thousands of tons are dully
sent to western cities.
The soothing, healing effects of Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup Is felt almost
Instantly. There Is no other cough medi
cine that combines so many virtues.
STOCKS AND BONDS.
Xew York, March 1. Fears of gold
exports, which, were so pronounced
earlier In the week and which led to
considerable selling of stock for both
accounts, disappeared in a great meas
ure today. The market closed Arm.
Total sales were 145,500 shares.
The range of today's prices for the ac
tive stocks of the New York stock mar
ket are given below. The quotations are

CAY SOJOURN BY THE SEA
l'lcasurc-Scelicrs and Heulth-Hunters
at Atlantic City.
SOME VERY PAST RAILROADING
Jersey's Great Seaside Cosmopolls Be
gins Its Season by Guyety Kuthcr
Lurly but Ilcglns It la Genu
ine 1 urnobt.
Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
Atlantic City, Murch 1. The gloom
ful and depressive pessimist who per
sistently croaks of "hard times" and
dolefully usseverates that the nation's
prosperity bus gone to the deiimitlott
everlustlng bow-wows, is shamed out
of his dlsmul bewaillngs us suun as ho
finds himself In the briny and brilliant
atmosphere of this great seaside cos
moplls. The very ulr seems with ca
ressing fingers to "knit up the ravelled
slcttve of care;" the swishing surf sings
Wooingly u restful song to the tired
senses; the genial warmth of the eurth
nenring sun stirs the sluggish blood to
quicker pulsings; and the Inspiriting ac
tivities thut pervade the place beget
fresh Impulses and enkindle new umbl
tlons In the moHt mind-weary of mor
tals. A stroll on the thronged boardwalk
just now Is an inspiration and u de
light. This magnificent esplanade
skirting the white-headed edge of the
horizon-reaching sea for four unbroken
miles, is the dally rendezvous of beauty
nnd fashion, as well as the daily resort
of the Invalid nnd valetudlnnriun. Here
meet and mingle the cosmopolite and
the countryman, Heau Hrummcl and
Farmer Hayseed, the belle from vocif
erous Uroadwuy and the bright-eyed
maiden from the quiet Pennsylvania
hills. With each recurring year the
wholesome custom grows of resorting
here for a winter residence or an early
spring-time vacation, and the propi
tious opening of tho Lenten season now
beginning augurs favorably.
Some Cliinutlo Advantugcs.
The magnificent climatic advantages
of Atlantic City render it easily the
foremost of American health resorts.
The balmy and Invigorating air, laden
with briny ozone and impregnated
with the bnlsamlo odors of the encir
cling pine forests, Is distinctively cura
tive in pulmonary, malarial and nerv
ous disorders, being especially effec
tive In the amelioration of la grippe.
The diversity of recreations nnd
amusement attract to it every shade of
temperament and taste, from the grav
est to the gayest. More than a hundred
hotels and boarding cottages have
opened their doors to the entertain
ment of visitors at rates ranging from
$1 a day up to llgurcs that would make
a frugal millionaire dizzy.
The facilities for getting to and from
this enchanting bit of Lotus Land are
superb In their completeness nnd in
every detail for have we not the
"Royal Route to the Sea," that magni
ficent branch of the Reading Railroad
system, the famu of which extends
from the eastern coast to the placid
waters of the Sun-down seas? Every
body who travels and everybody trav
els nowadays Is familiar with the
unique renown of the "flyers" that run
on this celebrated line, and I cannot
forbear quoting from the Atlantic City
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Evening Star this account of a remark
ably quick run:
Very 1 ust Kuilrouding.
"The people reaching here on Sat
urday last on the 2 o'clock p. m. Read
ing train have It to say that they trav
eled the entire distance at a rate of
a mile In less than a minute. Hy rea
son of the Ice blockade in the Delaware
the train left twenty-two minutes late,
and yet, Including stops at Hammon
ton. Egg Harbor and Pleasantvllle, It
pulled up to the depot here only one
and one-half minutes behind time. In
other words, twenty and one-hulf min
utes had been made up In the fifty-five
and one-half miles, which distance, In
clusive of the three stops, was cov
ered in fifty-seven and one-half min
utes. Certainly five minutes at least
were consumed In the slowing up, stop
ping and getting off again at three sta
tions, so that the actual running time
wus more than a mile a minute. This
Is a remarkable record for the distance,
nnd Is probably tho fastest rate of trav
eling ever accomplished across Jersey."
' P. ut the Star man Ts in error In set
ting this down as a "record breaker,"
the same fifty-five and one-half miles
having been covered lit least once In
fifty-two minutes. On the Reading's
straight smooth track a speed of a mile
a minute Is not deemed notably rapid,
and a mile In less than fifty seconds Is
no uncommon achievement. The ele
gant train equipment of the "Rnyal
Reading route," not less thnn the phe
nomenally quick time, attracts to It
a very large preponderance of the
travel, nnd I am Informed that through
tickets to Atlantic City ure now sold al
most everywhere nlong the lines of the
Rending, and also on tlmse of Its con
nections, such as the Jialtlmore and
Ohio, Lehigh Valley, Now Jersey Cen
tral, Iteech Creek, Full llrook and other
road. J. M.J I.

Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons thut tliev will tliis veur hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers aro
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haa
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
