Tho Work of Suivuyius it is Now in I'roprost. Tho Dallas Post says of the proposed limilevard between "Wllkes-Barre and Harvey's Lake: "At last A. S. Qrr'H scheme for a liou)evaid between AVIlkes-Uarre and Harvey's Lake is to be an ncomplirili ed fact. A company lias been char tered, and during; the papt week a corps of engineers has been engaged In the woik of locating the new driveway or perhaps it should be termed a speed way, for It will be almost as level as a race track, and will be kept in as good condition. The loute as now un derstood Is to leave AVllkes-Iiarre over the North stieet bridge. Over' the Hats the upper road Is maintained In excell ent bhape, and no Improvement Is con sidered necessary until the Kingston borough btrcets are reached. The drive way will extend back to a point near Payne's breaker, crossing1 the Delaware I.ackuwanna and Western and Lehigh Valley Itailroad above grade, and strik ing Prinnle Hill well toward the top. The new road will then strike the top of the hill, and will extend around and thtougli the gorge very nearly at the top of mountain. All ravines will be crossed by high bridges. Above Shav er's mill the railroads will bo crossed above grade by btldges, and the boule vard wil then bear to the north and pass Dullas back of V. K. Goss' woods, and will then extend to the Highland House, and from thete by the most feasible route to Harvey's Lake. The boulevard will be distinctly a pleosuto drive, and will undoubtedly (lnd great favor among the people of thi valley who keep their own turn outs. It will be a toll road, of course. P.lcycllsts will also find it a wonderfully popular road, ns over Its smooth surface and even grade the wheelmen will be able to get out to tho lake almost as quickly as by train. The grade will be iry neaily that of a railroad. A. S. rr is the leading spirit in the enter prise, which is deserving of all suc cess, it is understood that the stock of tho company will be sold In as small as $3 shares." INGENIOUS IMONEEHS.

Men who nloneer the way in new Parts of the world, where wild nature l'plgns, and no resource of civilization is mere to comfort and help, must needs bo full of expedients and keen of wit to get along and come out win ners. Some pioneers succeed where others fall pimply because, when dilven to It, they can build a boat or n house without tools, make palatable bread without yeast, eat stewed mon key or fried ants without a qualm, or with ready tact transform excited sav ages, howling for war, into a crowd of laughing friends. Ten years ago a French expedition was sent Into the Western Soudan to occupy a new region and build a fort at Slgulrl, where the Tanglsso river joins tho Niger. One day they came to Kokoro river, which could not be ford ed, and there were no native canoes to carry them across. The whites sat down on the bank to talk the problem over. Pontoon made from felled trees. and other schemes, were discussed. At last one of them said: "Look here. Wo have C.000 feet of telegraph wire, and we can build a euspenslcm bridge. There are plenty of trees on both banks. Let the boys pass the wire from shore to shore, drawing It taut around the foot of the trees. We can make a wide, strong roadway by covering the wire with small straight branches, and putting on these a- layer of earth and grass, and there's our bridge." Tho True I'lnvor.

Susquehanna, jan. 25. In November last, A. J. Pepper, an aged farmer, was murdered In his barn in ltush town chip. Ho was a bachelor, a man of means, and lived with an nged sister. On the night In question ho had gone to tho barn to do some choirs. Not re turning in several hours, the sister arose from her bed, lighted a lamp and went to the batn, where she found the old man unconscious. Ho had been (struck with a club or other blunt In strument. Neighboifc were summoned nml the old man was carried Into the hotiFC. Ho never regained conscious ness. Upon his person was $80 in cash. So far as known, he did not have an enemy In the world. The county com mleslonera offered a reward of $1,000 for tho arrest and conviction of tho murderer or murderers, and District Attorney Alney haB been energetic in his efforts to ferret out the mystery. Several arrests, on suspicion, liavo been made, but the prisoners have been discharged for want of evidence sulPclent to hold them. On Saturday cenlng, District Attorney Alney and Chlef-cf-Pollce McMahon, of Susque liunna, went to ltock Itltt, N. Y., ;iear Hancock, and arrested Cornelius Shew, recently of Susquehanna, on a charge of being Implicated In the murder. On Sunday the same olllcers went to Cov entry, Broome county, N. Y., and ar rested J. J. Smith, also recently of Susquehanna, on :o tame charge. The two men were brought to Susquehanna and on Sunday taken to tho Montrose Jail. Shew has lived in Susquehanna for the greater portion of his life. He has been arrested several times for larceny, and has served a term In the Lackawanna county Jail and In the Eastern renitentlary. Smith came to Susquehanna last spilng from Frank lin Forks with a woman named Gra ham, with whom he lived here until lust fall, when they left. For several mi nibs Shew was nn inmate of the Smith home. After leaving here, Smith and tho Graham woman separated. The latter Is now In Binghamton. Hoping to secure the $1,000 reward, and possi bly revenge. It is said that the Graham woman gave the authorities the infor mation upon which the arrests were made. It is reported that Shew has made a confession, in which he states that Smith committed the murder. Smith's correct name Is Mild to be James J. Kagen. NOT ON THE PROGRAMME. The recent death of Rev. Frank A. Coney, of Scranton, brings vividly to my mind an Incident of the "long ago." A few years after the close of tho war, a party of some seventy newspaper men from New York and Pennsylvania, the writer included, enjoyed an excursion through some of the Southern states. Mr. Doney was at the time editor of a paper In Hawley. In Staunton, West Virginia, one evening, entertainments had been arranged, In honor of the party, in three female colleges. In one of the Institutions the young ladles rendered a choice musical programme of Southern airs exclusively, such as "Dixie," "My Maryland" and "Bonnie Blue Flag," but not a northern air. Out of courtesy, the party sat and took Its medicine, all except Mr. Doney, who arose, and, in an impressive manner, said: "We have listened with a great deal of attention to the Southern selec tions, rendered so beautifully. We would now like to hear "The Star Spangled Banner!" for about seven seconds. Then the regular programme continued. We didn't hear "The Star Spangled Banner." They were'nt play ing It down there in those days." COUNTY CURRENCY. Charles Van Wormer and Ralph, U. Little, esqs., of Montrose, are promin ent candidates for district attorney. "How happy would I be with either were tother dear charmer away!" Owing to a fratricidal and internlclne church war, a Susquehanna county congregation, It Is stated, last month contributed the munificent sum of $7 towards the pastor's salary. The con gregation evidently believes that, In asmuch as "Salvation is free," preach ing out to be, also. Several Montrose people are prepar ing to go to Klondike. A Susquehanna county justice of tho peace, at the close of a recent case, announced, with greitt dignity, "I will hold this case under advisement until next Monday, at which time I will ren der judgment for the plaintiff." The Susquehanna County Medical so ciety will meet In Hallstead, February 1st. Montrose is preparing to celebrate Its one-hundredth anniversary. The staid old town has changed considerably dur ing the last hundred years, and she Is entitled to a blowout. Sound the loud tocsin, beat the tom-tom and blow the hewgag! The county court Is In session. "Hear ye! hear ye! All persons loving litiga tion draw near and "be skinned!" A WILD CATS FEAST. Over near Sherman a farmer recent ly lost, by the hand of grim death, a valued road horse.

" At tho age ol two months, my baby began to htwa sores break out on his right cheek. Wo used all tho external ap plications that wo could think or hear of, to no avail. The sores spread all over ono eldo of his face. Wo consulted a physi cian aud tried his medlclno, and in a week tho soro was gone. Hat to my surprise in two weeks mora another scrofulous look ing soro appeared on baby's arm. It grew worse and worse, and when ho was threo months old, I began giving him Hood's Sarsaparllla. I also took Hood's Sarsaparllla, and beforo tho ilrst bottlo was finished, tho sores were well and havo nover returned. He is now fouryearsold, but ho had nover had any sign of tboso scrofulous sores since lie was cured by Hood's Sarsaparllla, for which I feel very grateful.

That night tho entire neighborhood wuh kept awako by a howling, snarling, snap ping pack of wild cabs, fighting for choice morsels. A farm hand, who ven tured near the feast, watched tho gen eral mlx-up of tho cats for an hour, and left the soeno pursued by two members of the pack. In the morning the vicinity farmers visited the scone of carnage. Strewn about the hum mock ground were tho lifeless forms of eleven wildcats, while raven more were so badly Injured as to bo unable to leave the field, These wero dispatched with clubs. In a large oak treo wero foul strips of tho horse's hide, and In n small hemlock treo two cats were locked In death's embrace. They had died fighting. On the ground naught remained of tho steed, except the mane, tall, hoof ind a memory. With the bounty from the twenty wildcat scalps tho farmer will nearly purchase an other horse. HOME HAPPENINGS. The fine new Presbyterian church edIPce will be dedicated about March 1. About $7,000 has already been paid in or about one-half of the cost of erection. The congregation 13 to bo congratulated. Michael Kane, erstwhile of Susquo lmnna, was arrested In this place on Saturday evening, charged with bur glarizing a Catholic parochial residence in Carbondale, a few months since. He wns taken to that city on Sunduy. He has served a term in tho Lackawanna county Jail. A Susquehanna shopman (a Metho dlrt) has invented a contribution box with a bell attachment. When a pen ny is dropped in It rings feebly, a nickel ninke3 It a little louder, and a dollar brings out tlie fire department and a "brass band two blocks down the street. The Transcript states that the larg est number of shirts turned out of the Susquehanna Shirt factory in any one day, was the day the factory shut down indefinitely. The troubles in the Oakland Side Methodist church do not appear to yh'rink as the months roll by. A church fight anywhere, at any time, Is enough to make angels shed real tears. A HEADLESS CHICKEN. Farmer Tiersey, of New Mllford township, Is in possession of a curiosity In the form of a headless rooster. About two months aso Mr. Tiersey took It Into his head to have a chicken pot-pie for dinner, so he went out and caught a rooster, a spring chicken. He chopped Its head off and threw the body down but Instead of laying still, tho body got up and walked off. Seemingly un injured. It acted as It did before being beheaded, and did not appear to be In any pain. It walked around the same ns usual, but of course It could not see. Mr. Tiersey has fed It, Is putting the corn down Its neck. From the time of the beheading tho rooster gradually re covered, and today It Is ns well as any rooster, with the exception that It Is somewhat handicapped by having no head. The head is in a bottle of alcohol, while tho rooster walks about. Farmer Tiersey has refused nn offer of $50 for the rooster, made by the manager of a New York dime museum. MINOR MENTIONETTES. The funeral of Mrs. Robert H. Tobey, of Thomson, occurred from the Lanes boro Methodist church on Saturday af ternoon. Major Levi O. MeCawley, of Chester, Auditor General of Pennsylvania, was in town on Thursday, attending the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Lydla Mor gan. Revival meetings are still in progress in the Baptist church, with a good at tendance. Quito a number of persona have professed conversion. Those who were engineering the boom against Grow have gone Into their hole. Tis well! QUARRYING SNAKES. A party of bluestone quarrymen, working near Deep Hollow, on a moun tain side, tore off with dynamite an unusually largo mass of earth, a few days since. Down the declivity there came, wi'Ithlng and rolling, a bunch of snakes, which Mr. Madden, the fore man, says was as large as a barrel. They were of different varieties, rattle snakes, blaeksnakes, adders and gar ters. When lirst disturbed they were active and dangerous, but In the severe cold they became comparatively harm less, and were killed or covered up In the dump by earth and stones. Every day and every blast since similar bunches have been unearthed. Those that escape the laborers pick crawl off and dve In the snow drifts. Hund reds have been killed, among them rep tiles six and beven feet long, and as large around as a man's wrist. Scores of people visit the quarry dally to see the snakes. Whitney. HONESDALE. Prominent Wayne county Republi cans have declared that tho delegates from this county to the next state con vention should support Hon. William Connell, of Scranton, for governor. The spring convention will probably be held In March and the delegates then elect ed will probably be Instructed for Mr. Connell. Of course, Wnyne county will stand by Homer Greene, esq,, ns their choice for concress and Hon. E. B. Harden bergh for state senator. Wayne county paid $5,505.41 for bridge building and repairing In 1S97. The actual indebtedness of the county Is only $6,635.58, which the present board of commissioners hope to wipe out before their terms of onico expire. The remains of Christian Heller, who was killed In a runaway accident In Carbondale on Monday night, were brought to the home of his parents, at Seclyvllle, on Tuesday afternoon. Christie was a good boy and popular with his companions. Lightning struck a barn belonging to W. D. Gulnnlp, In Damascus township, on Saturday night and It, together with the contents, were consumed by tho fire. Loss, about $1,500; insured for about $700. The borough election promises to be a warm contest. The offices of coun cllmen and assessor appear to be the principal bones of contention. Tho Re publicans have re-nomlnated Martin Canfleld and W. A. Wood for the coun cil and C. F. Rockwell for assessor. The Democrats have placed A. M. Lelne and George Checkley liv nomi nation for councllmen and County Sur veyor L. S. Collins for assessor. While the borough is Republican by one hun dred votes, the Democratic nominees are all popular and will put up a hot fight. Of course there Is no hope for them if the Republicans stand by their guns. In Texas township, which is largely Democratic, the Republicans hope to elect tho supervisor, nssessor, two school directors and auditor. There Is much complaint that many of tho town ship officers are Incompetent and are Increasing tho debts. Oil .Market. Oil City, Pa., Jan. 25.

Wnll Street Review. New York, Jan. 25. The timidity manifested by dealers In stocks yes terday because the warahlp Maine had been ordered to Havani was fully equalled by the confidence with which traders bought back their stocks to day, when the bhlp had arrived In Havana. The most notable feuture of tho day's trading was the largo vol ume or transactions for London ac count. The number of shines bought in New York for London was esti mated at from 30,000 to 33,000 shates. The strength of tho Spanish fours In London also Indicated tho iabsence of apprehension of an embroilment be tween tho United States and Spain. It was evident that some of the profes sional traders who ,iut out short con tracts on yesterday's Cuban scaro re frained from coveting in the early transactions In tho belief that the mar ket would become ensy after London had ceased operating. Tlise belated shorts rushed to cover In the final transactions and made tin: buoyant tono at the close, which found prices nt the best of -tho day for tho stand aid stocks. Ycatcrday's losses on the average were more than recoveied. Now York Central was most conspicu ous in the dealings, with a net gain of over three points. The total sales were 335,000 shures.

This Is due" to the rarity of the air whioh on some constitutions is too stimulating to the nerves. In some cases patients are com pelled to remove for a time to the sea leyel to escape the high nervous strain. As sleep lessness is not nn uncommon accompaniment to certain nervous conditions (in any clim ate) the story of a woman of Pueblo, Col., may point a moral to others, who have had a similar affliction. The woman came to Faeblo thirty years ago, when the town was a frontier settle ment, and Indians were by no means un usual visitors, bands of Ute's often passing through on their way from the mountains down to the plains to hunt buffaloes. She had been in good health, until a few years ago when at each recurring spring. timo she became debilitated, weak and Ian euld. Her strength left her, she was listless and lifeless. This, too, in spite of the stimu. lating effects of the high altitude. The most serious difficulty, however, wm sleeplessness, which she could not cure. The long weary watches of the night told on her health and he dreaded the approach of night. This lack of sleop weakened her strength and brought on extreme nervousness, until she was a physical wreck. ,As she could not well take the long jour ney necessary to a change of olimate, she ought for some nerve restorative, that would build up tlie nervous system, una inus ena fowls, 7aSc; old roosters, 6c; spring chickens, 7uSc; turkeys, 9ainc; ducks, OalOc; geese, 8c Dressed Poultry Firm, fowls, choice, 9c; do. fair to good, 8a 8c; chickens, large, 9a9c: medium, SaSc; common and scalded, 0a"c; tur keys, fancy, 12al3c. ; choice. llallc: fair to good, 9al0c; ducks, 7n9c.
