Speclut to the Scranton Tribune,
Susquehnnnn, Feb.- 1. There wns
weeping and walling In Tony Trccco's
household In Bradts, when the fnmlly
goat disappeared. Tony Imported tho
whiskered pet from Harlem six yenrs
ago when he got n Job working on the
track for tho Erie Ballroad company.
It beenmo the pet "of the neighborhood.
At nlcht It slept In tho house, and nt
meal times, It was always under the
table. Few children were caressed as
much a.s that goat. When the goat
suddenly disappeared. Tony drowned
his sorrow In beer, nnd Mrs. Tony de
nied herself to all visitors. Little Italy
went Into mourning. Two days follow
ing the goat's disappearance men cut
ting ice from the Starrucea creek near
Jefferson Junction found its frozen
body in the Ice. The news was carried
to Tony, and he came to the spot la
menting. Mrs. Tony und tho boarders
filed to the creek In Irregular order and
wailed. The section of Ico containing
the body was sawed out, carried to
Tony's cabin and placed behind the
stove, Tlie neighbors dropped in nt
night, nnd one cup of beer magnified
the virtues of the late lamented. Mrs.
Tony said she would make a rug out
of the goatskin, as a reminder of her
dear, dead pot. When the guests had
departed, and Mr. nnd Mrs. Tony were
left alone with their dead, the chunk
of Ice was moved nearer to the stove,
and the household went to bed. At day
break there wns a clush and a clatter.
Tony ran down stairs to Investigate.
Ills glad eyes fell upon theanlmateform
of the beloved goat, making a meal oft
a curled hair cushion. He was a little
stiff nnd bedraggled, but a day's care
ful nursing brought him around all
right. They bought a barrel of beer,
took a day off and invited all the
neighbors In to make merry.
THE POLICE INTBEFEBED.
The sparring match between Jnck
McDonough, formerly of Minneapolis,
nnd Bobby Dobbs, of Carbondnle, nt
tt acted a large nudlence to Hogan
Opera House on Saturday night. Car
bondnle, Blnghamton and other towns
were well represented. The men were
to have boxed twenty rounds, nnd con
siderable money had been wagered on
the result. In tho tenth round Con
stable James Washburn stepped Into
the ring and stopped tho mill. Then
Referee Frank Hartley, of Blnghamton.
declared a draw, and the angry and
saddened audience dispersed. The mill
wns stopped by orders from District
Attorney Alney, of Montrose.
COUNTY CURRENCY.
Charles E. Van Wormer. esq., of
Montrose, has withdrawn from the race
for District Attorney.
The Susquehanna County Teachers'
Association met In Montrose on Satur
day last, with a large attendance.
Thomns J. Davies. esq., of Montrose,
will probably defend J. James Eagan,
and 'Cornelius Show, who are In the
county Jail, charged with the murder
of farmer A.-J. Pepper.
So many confessions nre being made
In Montrose Jail these days, that there
are hopes that some of the prominent
politicians over there mny be led to con
fess to some of their many iniquities,
nnd turn from the error of their ways.
"While the lamp holds out to burn the

County Treasurer Charles Bogden, of
Susquehanna, was on Wednesday last
united in marriage to Miss Ada, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Millar,
of Elmlra, but formerly of Susque
hanna. Rev. D. I. Sutherland, pastor
of the Susquehanna Presbyterian
church, ofllclated.
Up In Herrlck Centre, Mrs. W, F.
Lyon and Mrs. White are candidates
for school director. Why not? If wo
had more lady school directors Ihero
would be some hone of having fewer
Ignorant school boards.
The Lackawanna county court has
granted a marriage license to George
Pitchy, of Great Bend, and Miss Mary
Paraszka, of Scranton. Miss Paraszka
is entirely excusable for desiring to
change her name.
THE PASSING OF THE MORMONS.
Exodustlng from Forest City and
other Jefferson Branch towns, where
they made some converts and miracu
lously escaped with whole skins, the
Mormon elders, or proselyting mission
aries of tho Church of Latter Day
Saints descended upon Montrose, tho
staid and aristocratic mountain bor
ough. They mot with n Polurlo recep
tion from the start, and tho "glad
hand" was everywhere conspicuous by
Its absence. People refused them shel
ter, and the latchstrlngs were pulled
Inside. Posing as persecuted martyrs
to a righteous cause, they sadly shook
the snow of the ancient borough from
their sandals und appeared without
warning to the farmers of the vicinage.
These sturdy tillers of the soil refused
to receive tho Mormon truths und
untied tho house dog. Tho erring elders
are now drifting hither and yon, like
a rudderless boat at sea. The farmers
of Susquehanna county have always
been noted for their intelligence, thdr

"Some time Bince I took a sudden cold
and could not get rid of it. Being subject
to catarrh and bronchial trouble I coughed
terribly. I lost my appetite and grew
poor and weak and I did not feel liko
work. I began taking HodU's Sarsapa
rillo. In a short time the cough disap
peared, I slept well, had a good appetite
and I was better in every way. Last
spring I was not feeling well, I had no op
petlto and no strength. I resorted to
Hood's Barsaparllla and soon felt moro
like work. My Httlo nephew was a dell
cato child and had n humor which trou
bled him so bo could not rest at night.
He has taken a few bottles of Hood's Sar

HOME HAPPENINGS.
Miss Margaret Madlgan, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James Maddlgan, died of
consumption on Sunday morning. The
funeral occurred this morning from St.
John's Catholic church.
Council No. 384, C. B. L., will hold
its first annual ball, April 17 in Hogan
Opera House. Baker's Blnghamton Or
chestra will furnish music.
The new Presbyterian church cdlflco
will be dedicated about Mnrch 1, With
appropriate services. About $7,000, or
one-half the cost of erection, has al
ready been paid In.
Revival services still continue In the
Baptist church. About thirty persons
have professed conversion. "And there
are moro to follow."
Tho funeral of Miss Anna Barnes, nn
esteemed resident of Lanesboro, was
lurgely attended on Saturday afternoon
from the Lanesboro Methodist church,
tho pastor, Bev. C C. Vrooman, offi
ciating. WHOLLY UNPREMEDITATED.
This Is an era of prosperity, If a mill
was stopped In Susquehanna on Satur
day evening.
Candidates for Representative are
bobbing up In Unexpected pluces. There
uppcars to be no law ngalnst It.
From Cnrbondalo on Saturday there
came a tailor, a detective and a dealer
in damp goods to see tho "mill" in
Susquehanna. When the officer ap
peared upon the stage to stop the mix
up the trio yelled, "Buncoed' b'gosh!"
nnd filed out into the outer darkness.
It is alleged that two robins were
seen in Susquehanna a few days since.
The gentlemun who saw them has been
a consistent member of the church for
forty years. He Is also a practical
Prohibitionist.
A Susquehanna lad wns asked by his
brother whether he would smoke when
he got to be a man. "I suppose I will
have to," was the reply.
There is a difference between twee
dledee and tweeledum! Its all right to
object to pictures of persons on hill
boards with too little clothes on. But
how about the pictures In the art stores
nnd the picture advertisements In tho
leading magazines of the day? Some of
them are at least Indecent nnd disre
putable. It's better not to make fish of
one and flesh of another.
Some Susquehanna fishermen one day
recently Journeyed to Mooses pond
near Starrucea, for a day's sport.
Among the catch was nn eel, said to
measure eight feet in length. In start
ing for home the sleigh pole was
broken. They utilized the frozen eel for
a pole and arrived home safely. Post
master Ryan will apply for letters
patent on the new device.
ODDS AND ENDS.
In a few weeks a party of Montrose
and Hallstend men will leave for Klon
dike. The sleighing Is excellent, nnd liv
erymen are Jubilant and wax fat.
There nre surface indications that
half a dozen persons will claim a por
tion of the .1,000 reward offered by tho
commissioners of Susquehanna county
for tho arrest and conviction of tho
murderer or murderers of A. J. Pepper.
The captors of Eagen and Shew IkjIIovo
that they ough't to come In for a slice
of tho rewnrd.
The New York Sun recently pub
lished a scurrilous article reflecting
upon Prof, nnd Mrs. M. W. Carglll, of
Great Bend. It was written In Blng
hamton. Prof. Cnrgill has employed E.
R. W. Searle, esq., of Susquehanna,
and a suit for libel will be brought
against the Sun.
The Sweet murder enso has been
continued until the April term of
court.
AND OTHER THINGS.
The Montrose Republican in its last
icsuo had splendid half-tone illustra
tions of the Pepper farm and of Eagen
and Shew, the alleged murderers, not
to mention an excellent portrait of
Chlef-of-Pollce Thomas McMahon, of
Susquehanna. The Republican gave
evidence of being right up with the
procession.

county patriots nro sitting upon the
sharp upper rail of tho fence, waiting

John W. Armlin, of Hallstend, now
comes to the fore front with a news
paper card, in which he announces
that his wife has left his bed and
board. There are a. great number of
dissolutions of copartnership this win

nee of tho nntl-rlavery pronto; but ho
lacked two votes, . a Washington let
ter In tho Courier-Journal. C'hnso got
thoan votes and tho entire opposition, and
was elected. In tho memorable speech of
Stephen A. Douglas on tho Kansas-Nebraska
bill there was interpolated a
(let re quarrel between Chase and Wellcr,
of California, over the way Chase got to
be senator. Two years after Chnse beat
Glddlngs, old Ben Wndo bent Glddlngs
under tho samo circumstances. When
they wero quito young men Wade and
Glddlngs practiced law In the same town.
One day thev were on opposite sides of a
case, and Glddlngs, while addressing the
Jury, attempted to quoto the well-known
lines of la co;
"Good nnmo In man und woman dear,
my lord,
Is the immediate Jewel of their souls;
Who Btenls my purse steals trash; 'tis
something, nothing.
Twns mine, 'tis his, and has been slave

But he that filches from ho my good

Robs me of that which "
Hero Glddlngs stammered and halted,
repenting the words, of which ho had
forgotten tho connection, nnd utterly
broke down. Wade slipped up behind
him and whispered, "that I never had,"
and Glddlngs, glad to help from any
quarter, blurted out: "that I never had."
Afterward they beenmo partners In tho
practice of law, and firm friends. Both

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Holow.
New York, Feb. 1. The stock market
today had a load of liquidation to carry
still heavier than that of yestorday, and
thero wero fewer prominent stocks to ex
ert a sustaining force by special strength.
Tho heavy offerings wero well absorbed,
and not declines aro for the 'most part
confined to fractions but are very general.
For a tlma after the opening thero
seemed to bo no diminution from yester
day's activity. Thero had evidently been
n largo accumulation of outsldo orders
over night and London was also a buyer
of stock. This demand was sntlBned.
however, without effecting any marked
advance In prices, the offerings being
very large. Later prices began to yield
under tho weight of continued offerings,
but tho pressure wns not great und tho
market fell In dullness, holders appar
ently being content to nwalt a rally to
continue tho liquidation. Total sales
wero 401,100 shares.

FEBRUARY 1898
The Newark Shoe Store.
Notwithstanding the very inclement weather of yesterday, our February Sale
started, with a fairly full store all day. The gentlemen, however, more in evidence than
the ladies. Of course, we knew by the weather indications in the early morning that we
could expect very little, if any, ladies' trade, but we were much pleased with the day's re
sults. It isn't often only twice a year you have a chance to buy footwear at such
prices as we sell them for at our sales, aud it is safe to say that from now on to the end
of the month each succeeding day will bring us bigger crowds to secure their share of the
bargains we are offering.
On tables are placed lots of Men's aud Ladies' Shoes for 75c, $1.00, $1.25,
$1.50 and $2.00 a pair, that were $1.50, $2.00, $2.50, $3.00 $4.00 and $5.00 a pair.
Children's Grain Shoes that were $1.25, $1,50 and $1.75 lare tabled at 60 to 75
cents a pair.
Boys' and Girls' Calf Shoes that were $2.00 and $2,50 pair are on tables at
$1,00 a pair.
Besides the 'tables, which we keep filling from day to day with fresh bargains our
entire stock is cut in price so low that not one cent of profit is left on any article.
Prices for the Month Will Be as Follows:
All $6.00 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, this month $4.50.
All $5.00 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, this month $3.95.
All $4.00 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, this month $2.95.
All $3.00 and $3.50 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, this month $2.45.
All $2.00 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, this month $1.45.
Al $1.50 Shoes, Ladies' or Men's, this month $1.15.
There are other prices than the ones above-named, but all are subject to the same
reductions.
Under the head of Children's Shoes we include Misses' and Children's, Boy's,
Youths' aud Infants' Shoes. In this department you can find almost any kind' you could
wish for, and not a poor shoe in the whole assortment. It will pay you to take advantage
of the money-saving opportunity to become better acquainted with our Children's Shoes.
Just a Hint of Prices in This Department:
Hisses' and Children's Shoes, $2.00 grades this month $1.25.
Hisses' and Children's Shoes, $1.50 grades this month $1.15.
