Or. C, W. Adams lias a Lively Tlino with
u Wild Cat in Scott Township.
C. V. Adams, the veterlnury surgeon
of this city, made u professional call in
Scott Vulley yesterday, and while on
h'S way home down what is known as
the "Wildcat" roud, which begins In
the notch of the mountain on the
boundary line between Scott township
and Arthbald borough, lie was attacked
b a ferocious wildcat, which preclpl
ta'ed Itself from a tree, adjacent to the
roadway, squarely upon the buck of
tht! horse the doctor was driving.
Tli! horse became frantic from fright
u'ld made a wild plunge to dislodge
ttu unwelcome passenger. For a mo
ment natters looked serious for the oc
cupant of the carriage; to the left
was a yawning abyss, and Immediately
in front a down-grade for two miles,
with a w ildcut and frantic horse to con
tend with. Fortunately, however, the
presence of mind of lr. Adams did not
desert him, and with a half-dozen well
directed blows from a leaded whip
stuck the wildcat was dislodged and
was made to bite the dust by a leaden
messenger from a revolvel.
The doctor brought the body of the

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT.
It Was Noted by Strcot Kuilwuy Patrons
Yesterday.
For the first time In the history of
electric street railroading In this city
patrons of the Traction company en
route for Forest Mill cemetry yesterday
were not forced to endure the Innumer
able delays to which they have been
hitherto subjected on such occasions.
The fact was commented on by many
who attended the funeral of the late
Captain Kellow, yesterday.
At former funerals, owing to lack
of power the cars would be obliged
to stop at very short intervals and the
services at the grave would be complet
ed before the cars carrying friends had
arrived at the cemetery. Owing to im
provements at the power house and in
the system of feeding Introduced under
the present management, these de
lays have been obviated, and persons
who ride in the cars will hereafter be
as they were yesterday, the first to ar
rive at the cemetery.
IT IS A SUCCESS.
Satisfactory Testing of Elevator at Footo
&. Shears' New Building.
An Interesting experiment was made
at Foote & Shear's new building on
Washington avenue, yesterday, when
the "Direct Electric Elevator," recent
ly completed by the National Elevator
and Machinery company, was subject
ed to a severe test which resulted very
satisfactorily.
The elevator, which Is fitted with
safety appliances ,waa hauled to the
sixth floor, when the cable was re
leased and the carriage fell but two
Inches, being firmly held by the safety
appliances. It Is capable of hauling
2,000 pounds of goods, and the floor
doors, through which It passes, open
automatically, either In the ascent or
descent.

See?"
As Mr. Jones turned around the vis

"All right, you can have It," he said,
"but you don't want the pennies and
small chunge, do you?"
"Naw, 1 don't. But you'd better
gl'me the big stuff quick."
"Just wait u minute; I have a bag
here and will put the money In that

Sceoud Ward People Do Not Hunt Mr.
Ilogun to Uct a License.
Attorney 11. C. Reynolds, represent
ing Garrlck M. Maynard, yesterday
filed a protest against granting a hotel
license to Herman Hagan, of the Sec
ond ward of this city.
It Is alleged that the building In

the hotel Is Inadequate In size und that
a misrepresentation with regard to It
Is contained In the petition asking for
the license. It Is further charged that
the wrong number of the house is given
and that eight of the signatures on his
petition have been tampered with In
some manner, as they appear to be In
the same handwriting.
Mr.Hogan asked for a license In 1S93
and was refused. It Is set forth In the
protest that the people of the Second

being granted to Mr. Hogan.
JOYS OF THE TURKISH BATH.

Colds and Urip.
One of the best preventives for grip
and usiful colds and coughs so common
at this season of the year, when the
temperature Is constantly changing
and germs of disease float upon every
breeze. Is the Turkish buth. Under the
refreshing treatment of experienced at
tendants at the bath, one becomes a
new man, so to speak, and Is better
able at all times to endure exposure In
this changeable climate. I
Such a bath can be obtained at the
first-class establishment of M. J. Pur
sell, HOG Spruce street, where will be
found one of the very best rubbers In
the country. The establishment Is
neat and clean, everything Is finished
up In the very best of style und baths
are guaranteed to be satisfactory.
When one stops to consider the bene
fits arising from a Turkish bath given
the cost of the treatment must seem
slight, Indeed.

THE REVIVAL - OF TRADE
Outlook for It at Present Is Not
Highly EncouriHjing.
AMOUNT OP COAL TO BE MINED
It Will Not Grootly Exceed the Output
for Last Vciir-l'rlccs Will licinain
About tho Sume-Gloomy Condition
of Iron and Slccl Trade,
With tho coming of spring many
tradesmen and others aro hopofuly an
ticipating a brief revival In the trtido
of Scranton and Its vicinity. It Is the
testimony of all traveling men that
Scranton Is tho best and busiest town
In their territory, and thut, compara
tively speaking, Hcranton felt the de
pression to a very Hinoll extent.
The depression haH, however, been
felt In tho city, nnd arguments are
heard In all directions that after the
depression of the past two years there
must of necessity be a reaction, the
prelude of which has already uppenred.
Whether this Is a certainty must be de
termined by men who are In u poHitlun
to give a definite ami reliable opinion.
In Scranton much depends on the suc
cessful working of the mines. If tho
output of coal be limited then the traf
lln Is reduced accordingly on the rail
roads, and less money Is expended on
the mini!) und In purchasing the pro
ducts of the Iron and Hteel Industries,
and so un, until ulinost' every Industry
is affected, more or less.
ATi'lbnne reporter interviewed a lead
ing representative of the coal trade
yesterday, who stated that the output
of coal, during the present year, In the
anthracite region, will be slightly more
than In the past year, but that prices
Will practically be the same. The out
put In 181)4 wus 40,000,000 tons, and on
Jan. 24 eleven coal operators made priv
ate estimates of the output during the
present year. For obvious refisons the
names are not given, but the Individual
i'Stlniates, when handed In, showed the
following figures: 4l.:i00,000 tons, 4!!,
000,000, 4:1,500,000, 44,(IOO,O0O, 44,0Ort,O0O, 4U,
000,000, 4,000.000, 4,500,000, 44,000,000, 40,-
000,000, 4i,r,oo,ooo.
Dktlmutcs Seem Correct.
The experiences of the past two
months, since the estimates were made,
prove that the output during the year
will not exceed the amounts stated
above.
In the iron and steel Industries It Is
asserted that there Is no prospect of
Improved trade, and that no orders are
anticipated which will make any mate
rial improvement. Oilers have been
made to place orders or ample dimen
sions, but payment would only be made
on eight or ten months' bills, which
prevented some local firms accepting
the offers. There is no doubt, however,
that If the railroads ,h;.d increased
and permanent traflic it would consider
ably benefit the Iron und steel Indus
tries, us It Is well known thut railroad
companies usually carrying thousands
of kegs of spikes and large stocks of
rallsund supplies have now very limited
stocks. During the past year less miles
of road have been built than during any
similar period In the past twenty years,
the rolling stock lias decreased, few
locomotives have been purchased and
the tracks have been In some instances
actually neglected, consequently it Is
argued that when money Is expended
In these directions, it benefits Scranton
In Lumber Circle.
The lumber trade Is also an import
ant factor In the commercial elements
of Scranton, and many of the leading
men In this Important industry agreed
yesterday that the prospects for In
creased trade were not very bright, as
the demand for timber was considera
bly lessened.
If a reaction should materialize dur
ing the present year it Is doubtful
that It will occur before the fall.

SOUSA'S GREAT HAND.
It Will (live a Concert at Academy of
Music Tuesday Kvcnlng.
Sousa will this year again break the
record In the length of his term of
concert giving. He began the current
year's season on Feb. 10, and his en
gugements already undertaken bring
him up to liec. 10, or over forty-one
weeks of continuous dally concerts. This
embraces a long concert tour of three
months, an engagement of nine weeks
at Manhattan lleach, one of seven
weeks at the St. Louis exposition, nsd
another concert tour beginning at he
conclusion of his St. Louis engagement
and ending In New York Ilec. IS.
No bund or orchestra embracing so
many people was ever before ten
dered engagements for so protracted
a season, nnd it Is a wonder how Mr.
Sousa and his men are able to stand the
strain. They will certainty appreciate
a rest when the last concert Is given
Just prior to the nild-wlnter holidays.
The concert of the band In this city
Is one of this protracted series nnd
will occur on Tuesday evening, Mutch
