HONEST ABE WAS SCARED. Poor Abe Bloch, ambitious and earn est, about three weeks ago began duty as night frankfurter clerk at the Jack son street hotel on wheels.and yesterday morning he was so Beared by a prac tical Joke that he threw up the job and has not handled a frankfurter since Abe speaks English about as perfectly as he does any other of the seven lan guages he does not know. And his troubles began when the street cleaners' hose bursted at 2 o'clock yesterday morning and the water flooded his hotel. Then he threw several new mown oaths, of English parentage, at the street cleaners. He was in a ter ribly nervous state when a few minutes afterward he went to Undertaker Price's barn to get the horse which nightly hauls the lunch wagon to its daily berth. There was an Ice box near where 1EA 1 MILLION patriotic voters have rec I 5 ognized the confusion of our pub lic politics, and arc determined toinform themselves, and stand like patriots in the hour of their peril and vote to the best of their knowledge, for the best interests of the common people of the whole country. It means further that every voter wants to know, not only the doctrines of his own party, but the views of all other parties and the reason for the differences Gold, Silver, Tariff and Free Trade. To this end we have secured a complete handbook of public po litical information, edited by Lawrence F, Prescott, WHICH WE WILL HIES EN T TO THE PURCHASER OF ANY MEN'S SUIT. The SAMTERS ware Dealing Clothiers, of th? Slibiirbs. Abe had to visit and In this ice box the employes of the barn had placed a stuffed thing which looked like a man. It had a dust brush for hair, and a pair of rubber boots with a white sheet com pleted the deathly object. When Abe saw it he grew sick at heart and hast ened quickly away. A police officer had to get the horse out of the barn. Abe wouldn't go near it and a new face beamed from the lunch wason last night. DEATHS OF YESTERDAY.

STRANGE SIGHT AT DEEP HOLLOW Another Coal Mine Is Discovered-A Glimpse at the Political Field Terrible Battle Between a Stallion and BulU'Nuggcts of Susquchanua Ncws-ltuilroad Etchings. Special to The Tribune. Susquehanna, Aug. 11. During a heavy electrical and rainstorm In the vicinity of Deep Hollow, six miles from here, on Saturday, a dark, spiral shaped cloud was seen swiftly ap proaching from the south. It seemed to sway like a balloon, and In a few mo ments It collapsed, and the air was filled with living objects, wriggling, twisting and whirling rapidly towards the earth, which was soon covered with a great mass of catfish, toads, freigs and lizards. Cattle upon the hills being pelted by the objects, bellowing ran to cover, and teams on the highway and in the fields, crazed at the strange sight, ran away. Springs and small rivulets were filled with the fish and frogs. Some ef the frogs had a red dish hue, and a number of. eye-less fish were discovered. In a brief period thousands of the fish and frogs had disappeared Into a nearby pond, but on Sunday there were places where the toads and lizards were still visible in great nuinbe-rs. The strange spectacle attracted hundreds of spectators from mlle-s about and several scientists enmo on Monday to gather facts. Visitations of this sort are very rare In Susque hanna county. IN THE MIXUP. "We are threatened," yelled the Im passioned orator, waving hhi hands above his head, " with still harder times unless we do the bidding of the plutocrats who claim to bo our mas ters. They will starve us Into sub mission! ' Before our eyes rises the gaunt scepter of the gaunt skeptcr the gaunt stepker the gaunt spctker tho gaunt specter of famine, fellow citi zens, the gaunt specter, ami I can lick the hired minion of the capitalistic press that's sitting at that table down In front of me taking notes and laugh ing! I can lick him out of his 'tooth pick shoe's, fellow-citizens, with one hand tied behind me!" The Impassioned orator paused, took a drink of water, nnd resumed his speech amid tumultuous applause. Anon. SOME FAMILY REPNIONS. The Tingley-Tlffany reunion will be held August 2i, at the residence of Freeman Tingley In New Milford. The Harris-Tucker reunion will be held today at the home of Stephen Tueker In Jackson. The Gow family reunion will be held at James Gow's, at West Lenox, Aug ust 27.

On the Fike farm, on Meshoppen creek, it Is claimed that there are strong indications of coal. Seranton parties are on the ground looking the matter up, and we shall see what we shall see. If some of the new mines would pro duce cool, castlle soap, Ilmburger cheese, or anything else staple, them would be more satisfaction In hanging around during this red-hot period. MATTERS IN BRIEF. Truman Perry, an old and respected resident of Thomson township, died on Monday morning, aged 70 years. The funeral will occur on Wednesday morn ing. The funeral of William Kendrick, an old resident and business man, occurred from St. John's Catholic church on Sun day afternoon. A llinghamton man named Richards on Saturday morning fell from train 12, at Red Rock, five miles west of here, and escaped uninjured. The train was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour. A wandering woman arrived here a few mornings since, and, as soon as she landed, gave birth to a child. She is be-, Ing cared for by the poor authorities. Her coming was very kindly heralded by the Blnghamton poor authorities. At West Suseiuehanna, at midnight on Friday, William Lausdell. of Wellsvllle, N. Y., who was walking the track from New York to hl home, was struck by a switching engine and quite seriously injured. POLITICAL GLIMPSES. Up to date, I am not a Popocrat David B. Hill. The old Wilmot district Is about to give the Popocratlc attired aggregation one of its greatest object lessons. Hon. George A. Post, a former Demo cratic member of congress from this district, and at one time one of the edi tors of the Montrose Democrat, refuses to eat his dish of crow, and will vote lor McKlnley. He has always been a Democrat with a big D. It Is ediserved that the new style of mugwump Is a vast Improvement on the other. , Our guest, LI Hung Chang, Is glad to note Hint one of the great political par ties of this country has adonted h I Chinese system of finance.

A TERRIFIC BATTLE. There was a terrific bottle to t;? de-ath between a stallion and a bull on a stock farm near St. Joseph's, th s county, a few days dnce. It lafv-d forty-five minutes. The bull charged again ami URn!n on the stalllo.i, if. ptatedly thrusting his herns between the ribs of the horse the full lengji. The sta!lien kicked, ptrnck and bit with all the force at his cr-mmand. tearing th? tough hide fr.m the bull's ne-ck ar.d lack and breaking neirly eve.-y bone In h's body. The bull, thor oughly exhausted, lay down and di.d. Fifteen minutes later fhe stallion d'ed. THERE WERE CONDITIONS. But there are themanris upon thou rands of men In the I'nltel States who would Jump at the chance to get jobs that pay even $2.50 a day in M x lco. Montrose Democrat. But tl ere were conditions. The Susquehnnra mechanics In question hael Isft fci.25 Jots at home to recure $.1 Jobs In the City of Mexico. They found their dol lars cut In two. They were the style of dollar for which the Democrat real to bow aoulfully yearning. Few Amer ican mechanic would care for a Job in the City of Mexico at $125 a day. Bre'r Cruser, some (Jay mount your noble steed and come over the humped and huddling hills and we will talk of these things further. In any event, love the true, the good and the beau tiful, vote for McKlnley am a loo. cent dollar, good times and food sense, and It will be well for you here and hereafter. Selahl IN THE COUNTY.

GALLEY TWO B Ararat has a resident who believes it pays to exterminate weeds. He pulled up a big burdock plant the other day, and found upon one or the roots a gold ring whle-h was lost by his wife four years ago. A Hopbottom Silverlte explains the ratio of 16 to 1 by saying that if the United States should have free coilnage of silver, he could take all of his silver dollars and cut them Into sixteen pieces and every one would be worth $1. The Silver Lake panther Is still at large. Montrose will organise a McKlnley and I lobar t club this evening. George Gleason. formerly of Susque hanna, has purchased a half Interest In the Hallstead Herald. Down in Hopbottom they have dis covered enough silvcrltes to organize a club. RAILROAD ETCHINGS.' The Eric's Sunday excursions from Carbondale and Blnghamton are fairly well patronized. Six thousand persons attended the annual picnic of the Erie conductors at Shchola Glen on Thursday last. A tramp boarded an Erie freight train at this station on Thursday even ing and shot at Brakeman Charles Knnpp of Port Jervls, who escaped by jumping into an empty coal car. The Erie will take heroic measures to rid Its trains of tramps. The Erics excursion business up to date is very satisfactory. Judgments are still being obtained In the courts against the Erie, for re fusing to furnish family mileage books, as the New York State law requires. FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. Ward Deuel, of New Milford, Is the promotor of the proposed telephone line between Susquehanna and Montrose. Mr. Bryan, the man with the Iron Jaw, enroute home may be persuaded to do his great act In Susquehanna. But it ls good for corn and the lager trade. Let's all go and Join Peary. He's hemmed In by Ice. A Cascade youth of 70 has wedded a maiden of 19. The fool-killer Is neglect ing business. A rampant Susquehanna silverlte has had the gold filling taken out of his teeth, Just to be consistent. Over In New Milford tho skunks are annihilating the army worm. There is nothing made In vain.
