En clal to the Scranton Tribune.
Stiptjuulinnnn, Nov. 30. There was a
i-evere hallstonn In the Gulf Summit
mul cascade section n few days since.
The- storm was brief but very violent.
II seemed as If an ice cloud had been
fiozeli solid to a depth of uboitt six
Inches and then suddenly knocked to
pieces and thrown to the earth. Few of
the Httl ice chunks bore the least re
semblance to ordinary hailstones. AH
were of jugged nml Irregular form, the
majority of the pieces containing some
foreign substance, huch as a ball rf
earth, wads of rotten leaves, sand, fish
and frogs. The head of a sunllsh was
found In one piece, and a dozen or more
of the hailstones gathered up and put
In a water Jar yielded two live and
one dead water snake, some moss, a
small eel, three sninll pebbles and some
queer black seeds about the size of
buckshot.
"XO KICK COMING."
The Montroj-o llepubUcun sets up a
protest against .Susquehanna sending
so many prisoners to the county Jail.
Heine? the only large town in the
county, Susquehanna's annual contri
bution to the bastlle is naturally quite
large, transients predominating. While

consolation In the fact that we are ma
terially helping Montrose from again
becoming a howling wilderness. livery
prisoner sent to the county Jail Is a
Oodsend to the bakers, butchers and
grocers of Montrose. Inasmuch as
Montrose is succored and sustained by
the tax-pavers of the county, she has
"no kick coming." Strict silence best
becomes her.

Ilallstcad and Great Ueml will at

can secure the very essential consent
of Montrose, which Is laboring under
the hulliiL'luatlou that It Is the county.
Mormon missionaries a few days
since distributed handbills in Villon
dale, and intended to hold a series of
meetings In the village, but failed to
tec lire a hull.
The Montrose Democrat wants to call
the- prospective poor farm "Sunnyslde.
Home." That would make llfo sunnier
for the occupants. Poverty by another
name would be easier to bear.

MATTKItH AND THINGS.
Susquehanna sometimes gets a little
behind in the procession, but she claims
to havo the muddiest principal stteet
In Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The Susquehanna Journal, rather
broadly hints that severnl very prob
able "Jury fixers" hang around the
county court. It Is said that the (hid
ing of the Jury In a recent Susquehanna
case was known upon the streets of
Montrose before It was known In the
court room. That's a state of things.
Kindness appears to be picking up.
One night recently twenty. five tramps
were lodged In the Susquehanna
lockup.

DESIRED A COMMUTATION.
A wearv wanderer stole six pairs of
sock and was analgncd before a Sus
quehanna Justice of the peace, who
sentenced him to sixty days imprison
ment In the county jail. "Judge," cried
the trembling prisoner, "have I got to
live In Montrose sixty days?" The
magistrate said that the guest was
correct. "For heaven's sake!"
shrieked the prisoner, as he was led
away, "Can't you commute the sentence
to hanging?"
OPEN WINTEIt PREDICTED.
"It Is going to bo an open, wet win
ter," remarked an old Starrucca farmer
yesterday. "Why? 15ecause the musk
rats are building their bin rows high up
from the water, which Is a sure sign of
an open, wet winter. If we were going
to have a closed winter with plenty of
snow, thev would burrow close down
to the waters edge. Another good sign,"
remarked the same prophet, "Is that
the husks on the corn last fall were
very thin."
THE NEWS RECORD.

A SOt'TH GIIiSON KACT.
In South Gibson last summer a large
black snake got through a crack in a
hen house, and ate so many eggs from
under a sitting hen that it could not
get out again through the same crack.
Next morning It was killed and cut
open, when, as the eggs were found to
be unbroken and still warm, the exper
iment was tried of replacing them un
der the mother, who, in due time,
hiitci.ed out the brood, none tile wotse
for the remarkable accident.
AND WOMAN. TOO GOD KLKPS
HER!
The oyster and the strawbeirr have
each done its share In evangeliv.lng the

paid the salaries of more ministers and
helped more heathen than any other
two natural agencies. Truthful Ex

None of the "stove committee's"
changes among the Erie superintend
ents have, a.s yet. b en officially bulle
tined. Occasionally the committee
hits the target. The Erie Is enjoying
an excellent live stock business.
Some of tlio Kile engineers and
trainmen have already received d -merit
marks under the new merit murk
system.
It Is believed that the Delaware and
Hudson road will soon run a Sunday
train between Wilkes-liarro and Nine,

For the Hi st time in Its history, Pal
mer's Jefferson branch "Flyer" made a
trip on Sunday last. It will continue
to run every day in the week.
CRUELTY TO THE HEN.
A Stevens' Pclnt man took a notion
last summer to raise i'hlcken. He
purchased' an incubator, several hun
dred eggs and some full-blooded Ply
mouth rock hens. When the little
chicks were! hatched the lady of the
house boiled eggs and made hash for
them io cat. In the meantime one of
tho Plymouth reck hens had been given
a sitting of choice eggs, but at the al
lotcd time no chickens appealed. The
man was lutlier Jubilant because the
Incubator had proved itself superior to
the nutuietl mother, when the lady dis
covered that she had given the lien
Dolled eggn to hntch. Then, instead of
feeling remorso she got mad and com
pelled the poor hen to sit another three
line of Iiixniiu Carpets. See the

ODDS AND ENDS.
Life in becoming more valuable. Sev
eral lending Insurance companies will
soon Increase their rules and lose pa
tronage. Some of the muttt-.il benefit
societies are Increasing their assess
ments. They claim that It is neces
sary. Pop tnl Savings banks would bo nice.
They would make more fat olllces. They
would also Increase the partisan spirit
at tlio expense of patriotism.
It Is now figured out that even In the
Garden of Evan the boycott was ap
piled to tlio apple.
There are .100,000 "drummers" In tho
United States. There Is not a finer
class of men on the 1'uiv of tho earth.
Somehow, murders are moro numer
ous In Lackawanna nnd Susquehanna
counties than hangings. If "hanging
Is played out," why not try electrocu
tion? Some Great llend people has recon
sidered their Intention to go to Klon
dike early In the spring. 'Until they
secured a man, on Sunday, they had
been laboring under the Impression
that Dawson City was somowhero in
the western part of Wisconsin.
T. V. I'owderly, nsked his opinion as
to how far the nearest saloon should tie

hundred miles would be a reasonable
distance, according to my 'wny of

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Nov. 30. The principal fac
tors In today's stock market were the
statements of tho earnings in October of
two of tlio filtat railroad systems of tho
country namely, Pennsylvania and Dur
llngtoii. Hoth statements made a re
markably strong showing, but that of
Ruiilngton had been discounted by active
speculation and the rumors which havo
preceded tho piblleatiens for some time
I.n.-t hiving so heavily exaggerated the
propel tlnns of tho Increase. As a colisc
eUcnc there was some lasa.iriolntmeut In
rpociilativn circles over I lie- IlurhnRUi
statement and some projlt-taklng which
Imparted a hc.ivy tone to the wholo of
tho granger group until late In the day.
In the tmal hour prices of the gro ip
liiared In the general strength of the mar
ket. Tho October statement of the
Pennsylvania system with its increase in

influence', and all of the trunk lines
showed a marked degree of strength. New
Jersey Central, Lake Shore and Canada
Southern rising from 1 to 2 points. Tho
Erie and Lehigh Valley also had very
favorable statements for October, but in
both iies heavy Increases In gross earn
ings were absorbed by large Increases in
operating expci.ses. Otherwise net gains
in the actlvo sto"ks are conllned to frac

small losses through the list. Total sales
