NORTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA
AFTER POT HUNTERS.
Sheriff Harvey Will Clear tho Sus
quehanna of Eol Weirs.
Special to Tho Scranton Tribune.
Plttston, Oct. 1. Sheriff Harvey, of
Luzerne county, has decided to clear
the Susquehanna river of all eel weirs
and other Illegal fishing contrivances,
three- or four of which are known to
exist nt different "points along tho river
within this county. Several deputies
were nt work Saturday removing' one
of these, situated 'between the island
nnd east shore, opposite Port Griffith.
The river la narrow at this point and
the water runs swiftly over a reef.
Along this reef loose stones had been
piled to almost a level with tho water,
extending from each shore towards a
point in the centre, In a "V" shape. A
space several feet wide was left open
In the centre and arranged so that a
long net with several pockets can bo
attached without much difficulty. The
llsh, especially eels, In coming down the'
river are confronted by the pile of
slones and naturally swim along the
line until they find the opening in the
centre, through which, of course, they
pass unsuspectingly Into the net. This
weir has been used within the past two
weeks. The deputies destroyed the weir
by wading, waist deep Into the water
and scattering the stones hither and
thither.
Another weir Is located at the county
line, near A. I... Stanton's farm, and
another near the railroad bridge In
West Pittston. Hoth will be destroyed.
The one near Stanton's Is a well-built
wall of stone and mortar, extending
almost across the river, and has ex
isted for several yen's. It Is expected
that Its removal will require a week's
work with a force of about ten men.
POLITICS IN PIKE.
A Struggle for Offices That Are
Worthless Financially.
Special to The Scrnnton Tribune.
Stroudsburg. Pa., Oct. 1. The regu
lar October term of the Pike county
courts will bo held on the 16th ult. No
jurors have been summoned nnd the
session will be a very brief one. The
lawyers In Pike county have liard work
to make a living on account of the
scarcity of legal cases. As a rule only
one criminal court Is held In a year.
There are only four lawyers In the
county and they find plenty of time for
sport and recreation. The taxes of tho
county do not amount to $10,000 a year.
Notwithstanding till this, Pike county
elections are generally lively affairs.
At the present time tho regularly nomi
nated Democratic ticket will likely be
opposed by an Independent Democratic
ticket. Tho office of district attorney
In Pike county is hardly worth the ask
ing for. But at tho late Democratic
primaries there was a lively contest
between two well-known Democrats.
Even the Prohibitionists of Pike county
this year will make a fight to get In
possession of the county offices. Tho
rtepubllcans have hcen gaining ground
for years and are hopeful of making
much headway at the coming election.

Prussian Boy.
Shamokln, Oct. 1. Prom off the Le

he stepped up to him, and after look
ing at the tag, hanging on his coat, led

ed considerable attention.

and his age is seven years. Ifo hails
from Prussia and traveled the 4,000
miles to Shamokln alone. He arrived

Germany. His father died shortly after
he was born, but tho mother married

PROF. COLES FOR OCTOBER.
From Storms and Signs.
A more remarrnble conjunction of
the planets than has occurred for six
thousand years will take place In Oc
tober, November and December of this
year. It will not be a perfect conjunc
tion, but on the 2lst of the present
month. Uranus, Saturn. Jupiter, Mars,
Venus and Mercury will be near helio
centric longitude 250. or on that side of
the sun near where tho earth Is on
June 1st. At the some time Neptune,
will be on the opposite ride of the sun,
or near where the earth Is on Decem
ber 1st. This places the sun and sev
en planets In line, and explains the
meaning of what is called the great
planetary convncttoni that is being
dlseu?sed in t,ll civilized countries. On
December 1st the earth will have
moved Into line and will be part of the
great conjunctions. With the sun and
six or the big planets arrayed against
poor old mother earth, she will receive
some awful punishment, we fear.
THF, CCTOBL'U OlfTi.OOK.
The New Moon occtirc on the 1th at
2:07. The first aspects formed are a
FCXtllo to Saturn and trine to Neptune.
This favors a very favorabl! business
outlook for tl e coming month. The
vltnl forces being about equal In
strength will cause the stock markets
to fluctuate in prlcr.3 and great excite
ment will prevail. Tho planets point
to fome great calamity in the Western
or northern part of lbs United States,
and rumors of foreign countries of an
unusual nature. The life of a great
ruler will end during these planetary
conjunctions and cause universal sor
row. Auroral lights, earthquake and
volcanic eruptions may startlo tho
world. Tho "Yellow Jack' will con
tinue to increase In virulent-); nnd ty
phoid fever epidemics will again spread
over the country. Dysentery will pre
vail among those born In sign Scorpio;
and the "pink ey" will trouble :hoso
born In the fign Sagittarius. "Rotten
npple" placed over tin eyes will euro
the latter dlsfase nnd (he eating of a
nutmeg, by the nibbling process, will
cure the former. The "Vellow Jnek"
caused great consternation In thu
South last month, as our prediction!
foretold. The Bubonic plague wilt
sweep Its thousands to death this fall.
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
The 7th, 9th, 11th. 12th, 10th. 17th,
18th, 21st, 24th, 2ith, 2Cth and 31st will
be good days to fish. Fish caugWt at
any other time will not be in proper
condition to be eaten bv man. Th
fish caught on .the 7th, 32th, iCth, 17tb,
2ith and 25th will be the finest flavored
and tendrest of them nil. bled the
fish as soon as caught, for a fish that
dies a natural death Is nn more fit to
eat than a pig or chicken that. dies tho
same way. We will again snd full
directions for flower culture, grain
sowing, fruith gathering and all such
Information free for portage two
stamps thli month. Pork klHnd on the
7th, th. 12th. 18th. 17th or 18th, tho
meat will swell when boiled and when
fried there will b scarcely enough
grease come from it to vun In the pan.
Killed on thr 21st, 21d, 24th or 31st the
meat when conked will fry all to
grease. Those who do not believe In
moon signs can be convinced by let
ting the moon shine on fresh butch
ered beet at night time the meat will
be green and putrid as carrion by
merntng.
THF. STORMS AND SIGNS.
Last month many of the groat storms
were held at bay by tho electrical and
magnetic junctions being formed at
sea, ns tho High Flood vital foices
ruled over the land. This month the
vital forces are equally divided and
therefore we may expect great met
eorological disturbances on both land
and sea. A great storm of stupendous
dimensions is llabale to jump up cut of
the ocean, ns It were, at almost, any
time during these conjunctions, and
sweep down upon us with a fury un
precedented. Let thp sea. coasters pre
pare for an ocean sweeper;" and the
inlanders for general storms, summer
heat, cold waves, sleet and hall storms,
phenomenal electrical storms, high
gales, cloudbursts and great floods.
Farthquakes will hn reported this
month: and strange lights will be seen
nround the sun and the moon. Watch'
out for one or two strange sunset
scenes and several halls of fire that
will dart acrces tho heavens; and bo
not afraid, for they are but tho result
of natural causer. The world Is not
coming to an end yet!

when time was called. In tho second half
tho Alerts kicked oft, Oruencr. of tho

WOKLD-FAMOUS NUGGETS.
Chunks of Gold That Have liaised
Great Excitement.
From l.oHllc'a Weekly.
Thero Is nothing so fnsclnatliw to a
minor or prospi'i'lor ua thu discovery of a
placer mine that jlolrts wirau $',o and up
ward of cold lu tho pun, unlfhS It Is the
accidental unrarthlnff of a nuffBet ut the
precious metal. Gold nuKRets are &carco
even in the Klondike; but when the min
ers begin to srach the mountain sides and
rip up the ioc!; basins of tho rivers and
brooks, stories of rich finds of nuggets
will undoubtedly be added to those al
ready circulated concerning tho wonder
ful placer lelds. A nugget of gold that
contains a. ymnll fortune In Itself Is a
rare sight, and it Is llttlo wonder Unit
men have lost their minds In discovering
them; but nature has bulled uuito a
number of them at odd and unexpected
places In the earth. Tho past record
of mining shows that wherever gold Is
found In largo quantities nuggets of moro
or less large size aro apt to bo found.
Daniel Hill was ono of the unlucklest
miners of the Pacific coast back in the
sixties, but ono of tho luckiest for picking
up nuggets of gold. IIo mado two rich
finds In chunks of yellow metal that
shuold have prepared a better fato for
him. lie died of delirium tremens In
j.os Angeles only a few veirs ago. In
1NW he dug up n lump of gold In tho Huby
Hello claim, north of Plumas, which ho
sold for $17,000 cash. This was tho larg
est amount of money he ever owned, and
ho lived high on It an long as It lasted.
Again, In li71, when down to his last dol
lar, he made another lucky strike, tin
rarhtlng a nugget of gold and quartz In
Dutch Flats that sold for $14,2W In San
Francisco. This money went llko tho
tlrst, and the miner was poor oneo ino.'o
In less than a year, but ho never found
the third nugget, which he constantly
looked for up to the time of his death.
On Aug. 11. ISM, a nugget that weighed
llfty-llvo pounds, nnd was worth $10,0.
was found nt Mng.ill.i. Jlutto county, by
Ira A. Wlllnrd. Another was unearthed
near Columbia which weighed llfty
pounds and 'old for JS.M0. Not far from
this, In tin- fame county, a nugget was
picked u: in 1M;i that s 'Id for $',1CS, al
though It weighed only twenty-eight
pounds A JKWiO nugget was washed out
In U."3 at French Havlne, Sierra county.
Two years later a second from this samo
plaeo was found that told for $8,000.
Four and five thousand dollar nuggets
were found li crnslderablo numbers m
California In tlu fifties, f-lxtlcs and seven
ties. Kl Dorado county produced ono
that sold for $1,W, anoilu r valued at
JjS.OOft, a third worth :i.(K3, a foiuth worth
$3,000 and a llfth valued at JC.300. Sierra
county, besides the big chunks already
mentioned. Is famous for producing nng.
gets of lesser size. Some dozen or mui,
ranging from $1.0o0 to fe.OOO In value, hac
been found In this county. Plumas
countv has been one of tho richest min
ing section of the stato but only three
large nug'jetH have Ik en found there
The largest weighed K0 ounces and was
worth fii.itio.
To offset these largo nnd unall miK
t,utH, Austiulla, In addition to tho flm
ono mentioned, comes lo tho front with
nuggets that art Juvtly famed throughout
tho world.
Tho "Welcome Stranger" nugget was
found ut Dimnlly. Victoria, In 1S3, nml
weighed S,aiu ounces grops. "The Wel
come" lump was found Ion years before
this in tho mines ut Hallarat. Vlctoila,
arid weighed 2.217 ounces.
After these two bis chunks camo tho
"Ulnnche U.irkly," found at Klngower,
Victoria, hi 1W7. weighing a trlllu over
1.743 ounces gros-s. Tho "Precious"
weighed 1.C21 ounces, and was washed
out nt tho llerlln diggings In 1S71. Tlio
