THIS AND THAT.
Benjamin Gilbert, of North Garfield
avenue, Is the proud possessor of prob
ably one of the .nost unique bpoclmens
of the fossil that exists In this valley.
Mr. Gilbert Is employed as a miner In
the Capouse collleiy nnd while nt
worlt a few days ago found Ills speci
men. lie had blasted down some coal and
Wille his laborer was preparing th
coal to load it Into the car, the speci
men tell from Its rpstlnc; place in a
larc-j block of coal. It Is the exact re
production In stone of a human foot
and part of the foreleg: The foot part
Is a little less In size than an ordinary
sized adult's foot. The leg pait ex
tends from the foot about nine inches
nnd it apparently broken off about tho
middle of the calf of the leg.
According to geologists, if this speci
men jepresents what was onco a hu
man leg and foot, the person must hava
been of an enormous size, as when hu
man fltsh or the plant world fossilizes
' the Mze decreases nearly one-third.
For Instance a tree trunk, which Is Ire
fluently found in mining, would be re
duced to about one-third the nctual
slz by the time of present-day discov
ery. Mr. Gilbert has had numerous of
fers for his specimen, Lut declines to
part with it.
Many Scrantonlans who enjoy ac
quaintanceship with Isaac E. Long, of
"Wllkes-Barre. will be Interested in the
fact that yesterday he began his twenty-sixth
year as an attache of the
Wllkes-Barre Record. He assisted in
getting out the first Issue of that paper,
and is one of the veteran newspaper
men of this section of the state. Very
few of his Pennsylvania confreres have
been associated with any one paper
for so long a period. Mr. Long's Integ
rity and ability Is very forcibly at
tested by such long service, although
no such testimony is needed by those
who know him well.
Dr. Parry, of Cardiff. Wales, who Is
on a visit In this country.has Just com
pleted a new "National Tune Book,"
for the use of all denominations that

IMPROVING THE ROADS.
Prospects for a Good Driveway at
Pittstou.
The indications are that the move
ment to improve the public load be
tween Plttston nnd the Yatesvllle ter
minus of the new boulevard will soon
result In something practical, A road
machine has been procured by the offi
cials of Yatesvllle for the purpose of
Improving the main road through that
borough, nnd It Is said, on authority,
that the work will be started within
a few days.
The boulevard officers believe that
the Sebastopol loute to Yatesvllle Is
the most feasible and they will now
bend their energies townrd securing tho
Improvement of that road. It Is de
sired to change the route of the road
near Snbastonol, and have it skirt 1
hill instead of climbing It, K. M. Beyea,
land agent of the Pennsylvania coal
company, through whose property tho
road runs, has promised to meet the
boulevard ofllcluls on tho ground soon
and consider the matter.

Mr. Donahoe was asked to endorse

RAILROADERS GRIEVANCES.
Committees Are to Wait Upon the
Officials.
'The employes of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western. Philadel
phia and Reading, Central Railroad of
Now Jersey, and Lehigh Valley rail
roads are said to be taking steps to
ward appointing committees to wait
upon the railroad manngers to dlscusa

and to ask proper redress," says tho
Mauch Chunk Times. "This has given
rise to rumors and the word 'strike'
Is being unfortunately coupled to many

"Taking Mauch Chunk ns a criter

Passed Confederate Money on Porto
Rico Natives.
Accorllng to a New York Pun dis
patch Dr. R. W. Chldsey, of this city,
was ono of the United State army
men delected In passing Confederate
bills en natives of Porto Rico. Dr.
Chldsey was appointed a contract sur
gtcn about two months ago and was
assigned to servo with General Miles'
troops In Porto Rico.
The Sun story says, in part
The first offender was easily found, for
he was proud of his exploit and boasted
of It. He proved to be Dr. It, V. Chld
sey. a contract surgeon, detailed at the
First division hospital, When ho was
brought before tho court-martial on Sun
day at the barracks ho made a sorry
plea. He Bald that vhen he landed he un
derstood that ho was In an enemy's
country, and that anything which he
could do to get tho better of a Spaniard
was commendable. He had a S10 Confed
erate note In his pocket which had been
given to him by an officer. As he rode
up In a hack from the port to Ponce ho
bethought him of this and showed It to
tho hackmon. He explained that it was
not good, but asked If tho hackman knew
of a Spaniard upon whom It could be
passed, Tho hacsmnn took It Into a wine
shop, where he bought some wine and
got $9 or more In change In Porto Illcan
silver.
An tho bank heio at that time was giv
ing J2 porto Rlcan money for $1 of United
States money, It Is suspected that tho
Spanish wlno seller was trying to de
spoil his enemy, but that could not ex
cuse Chldsey. Ho pleaded guilty of ' con
duct prejudlc'lal to good order and mili
tary discipline" and threw himself tipDn
tho mercy of the court. The punlshmtnt
may bo anything which tho court recom
mends. Dr. Chldsey had an ofTlce on Willow
street, South Side. Ho was not very
well known here. Ills father, of Eas
ton, Is a member of the stnto legisla
ture nnd It was through him that Dr.
Chldsey secured his appointment.
An Idea of tho punishment which
may be meted out to the young surgeon
may be Inferred from tho following,
which Is contained In an Associated
Press dispatch from Porto Rico: "Ono
petty officer who was detected nt it
has been court martlalled and sent
enced to five years in the penitentiary.
Ho is now in Jail In Ponce."

Eppstein Seeks to Gain Liberty By
Habeas Corpus.
Attorney Nathan Vldaver applied to
court yesterdny for a writ of habeas
corpus to secure tho release of Morris
Eppstein, who Is being held at the
central police station awaiting the
coming of an officer from Chicago,
where he Is wanted for larceny.
Eppstein in his petition alleges that
he Is being wrongfully detained. All
that the docket bears against his name
Is that he was "arrested on a telegram
from the chief of detectives of Chi
cago." Judge Gunster granted the applica
tion and fixed this morning at 9 o'clock
as the time for tho hearing. An of
ficer Is on his way now from Chicago
with requisition papers. It Is Just
probable that he will find his man at
liberty and likely nt lnrge when he
arrives, as Attorney Vldaver is posi
tive that Eppstein will be discharged
when the case Is laid before court this
morning.

Tomorrow in Harrlsburg will be held
the election of a colonel, lieutenant

two prominent candidates for the col
onelcy arc Hon. L-. A. Watres, of this
city, and Major Milton A. Gherst, of
Lebanon, assistant adjutant general
of the Third Brigade.
Following Is a part of the official or

Captain nnd Aide de-Camp.
SCRANTON'S VOTES.
While Mr. Wntres has not taken any
prominent part In the canvas he has
consented to accept If he is elected. His
election will be urged by tho officers
from this city and Honcsdale. Soran
ton's representation at the tiecElon
will be large as this city has three of
the Itwelve new companies and 110
other city Is represented by more than
one company. There is one company
each In Honesdale, Reading, Easton,
Pottsvllle, Bradford, Lancaster, Allen-
town, Harrlsburg nnd Bethlehem.
Major Gherst has considerable re
pute and influence in tho guard but
his chances are lessened from the fact
that his city, Lebanon, has a candidate
who Is being boomed for lieutenant col
onel with good prospects of success.
This Is Captain Fitzgerald, ex-commander
of Company I, Fourth Regi
ment, a man who has been many years
In the Pennsylvania guard. He was
once an officer In the regular army.
The only candidates for election as
majors are MajorGeorge II. Whitney, of
Honesdale, and Captain II. M. Phillips,
of Reading. It Is believed that Major
Whitney will not endorse tho efforts
of some of his friends for his election
to the lieutenant colonelcy If such a
candidacy would Interfere with the
election of Mr. Watres. It Is believed the
Scranton and Honesdale officers will
have an uphill fight for the election of
Mr. Watres on account of a probable
combination among the down-the-state
cities in favor of Major Gherst.
THEY GO TOMORROW.
The Scranton and Honesdale officers
will leave here for Harrlsburg at six
oj'clock tomorrow morning via the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
road. While all guardsmen ore ex
pected to wear uniforms while under
orders like the present one, the rule
will of necessity be waived In the case
of those recently elected who have not
had an opportunity to secure a mili
tary garb.
