It formed on South street In two divisions with right resting on South Main. When the order of march was given It was necess-ary to considerably curtail the proposed route. The parade march ed up South Main around the west and north sides of Public square to North Main, to Union, to Washington, to East Market, and thence lo the Central Rail road of New Jersey station where tho cars were hoarded for Mountain Park where a big picnic was held. The demonstration was a splendid one and ItB size and general excel lence surpilsed a great many of tho large crowds of spectators. The divi sions marched In two columns one at each side of the street between which were about fifty or sixty carriages con taining the officers of the National Sla vonic society, olllcers of the Ladles' Auxiliary, Zlvcna, the visiting dele gates, several of the clergy and a few honored guests. Along the lino of march the various fociotles won much apphuife and many admiring comments by their fine appearance and conspicu ous discipline.

The Motive Thnt Prompted Hill Jon kins to Dispone of His Apple Juice. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. New Milford, May 17. Hill Jenkins is proprietor of one of th& lurgest farms In tho township of Great Hend. For tho past dozen of years or more Hill has been a large consumer of hard cider, so much so that nt times his navigating and talking apparatus have refused to do their bidding, much to tho indignation of hl3 family. Now It so happened that Hill s cow pasture Is on an extensive hill at tho furthermost corner of his farm, and it has long been his costume in the morning to locate his cattle by the use of a telescope and then direct his son the nearest course to take In rounding them up for th'o morning milking. Last Friday Hill and the hoys were out for a day's fish, tho old man carrying his "bait" in a bottle and the son In a can. On their return the old man wus the possjssor of a largo-slzcd Jng and was early stowed nwuy In bed. Soon after while tho old The Royal-White and JPnre as the Driven Snow.

The son wus so Interested In the experiment that ho was nwako at sunrise, anxious to see tho result of his stylo of Kceley cure. Soon after the sun had chased away tho darkness the father awoke, donned his wardrobe, grabbed his tolescop and went to the door. This ho opened, adjusted his glas3 nnd took Just one look. Th'en a wild yell went ringing through the house, while the watchful son, refer ring to the cows, gently Inquired: "Pa, do you see 'em?" "See 'em? I should say I did.

ARE AFTER MILLIONS. The liong Looked Por Staples For tune .May Soon He Hnd. Stroudsburg, May 17. How would you like a Christmas present cf fif teen million of dollars7 It takes your breath away to think of It. More than tho state debt of Pennylvanla, A sum vast enough to make an Astor or a Vnnderbilt envious, and that sum, says tho Times, Is likely to come to people In Monroe county at some time, If tho present Indications aro anything to go by. This great sum or money is lying In tho Hank of England awaiting a claimant, and tho Staples of this coun ty believe they aro the rightful heirs to tho money. It appears that the Immense fortune was tho result of sales of real estate by the English government. The money belonged to the brothers and sisters of the great grandfather of cx-Pro-thonolary W. S. Dutot, who came to America many years ago. While old John Slaplej was In America his 'broth ers and sisters all died and heirs were advertised In the old London Gazattc, the few copies extant of this paper being preserved In the London Muse um. None came forward and accord ing to Hrltlsh law the estate was for feited to the crown, after laying for the required time to claim. Tho big tracts of real estate were sold and tlie proceeds placed In the famous of banking Institutions tho Hank of London. In the year 1829, so the story goes, the government borrowed the money, agreeing to pay three per cent interest on the same. It mav not be commonly known but money can al ways be claimed by heirs In Englnnd but not In real estate. Probably tho first to look the? matter up was the venerable Rev. John Statl?s, of this borough, who made a trip to England for that express purpose. Ho found that there was money In tho bank for the Staples' and employed a linn of lawyers In that country to look It up. Since that time, and not so very long ago, a New York firm of bankers of fered the reverend gentleman 515,000 for his share In the estate. Recently a lawyer In tho employ of a man named Heaton, of Maryland, also an heir, has been In town on a quiet hunt after material to further prose cute the? claim. Mr. Heaton has madp a trip to Albion's Isle himself and Is full of the fortune. He took out letters of administration on the estate and employed the solicitors of the Hank of England Itself to look after h'ls Inter ests. The English lawyers became so Impressed with the genuineness of tho claim that they agreed to work It out for ten por cent, of tho whole sum. So enthusiastic Is Mr. Heaton over tho affair that he stated to one of tho local heirs that If anyone was to offer him a certified check for $50,000 he would refuse It. On the other hand some of the heirs r.re so skeptical that they would sacrifice their claim for a circus ticket. At present there la a slight hitch In the affair but Mr. Heaton does not give up. His mother, by tho way. Is a Sta ples, and the Maryland man claims that somo of the money, If not nil, will bo ready by Christmas. FAMILY WASH IN A CAVE-IN. Mrs. Hnll's Tubs of Clothes, Conl House nnd 11 Tree Ho Down. Dispatch In Philadelphia. Press. AVilkes-Harre, May 17. A number of small cave-Ins havo occurred lately over tho workings of tho Laurel Run colliery at Parsons. Today Mrs. Wil liam Hall, who lives near the colliery, had some clothes to soak In tubs Just outside her kitchen door. Sho went Into the kitchen for a few minutes to look after somo cooking. When she went back cno of the tubs filled with clothes had disappeared in the earth'. Tho second tub started in search of Its companion. Mrs. Hall became frightened and went back In tho house. Summoning courage a few minutes later, she looked out of the door, to find that tho coal houso had followed tho tubs. To top it all off, a cherry tree that was not only valued for tho fruit It bore, hut for tho sh'ado It afforded, dropped In, leaving only the top sticking out. The hole Is twenty feet deep and fifteen feet wide. NICHOLSON.
