CITIZENS WATER TRACT.
The water committee and councllmcn who vis
ited the Hansom tract, upon which It 1 proposed
to erect a cltlrcns' water plant, found that all
that ti needed to complete the basin Is a stone
wall 2.13 feet In length. Tills becomes a minor
matter when one considers the tact that there
is a valuable stone quarry InrludciV In the sev
enty acres that are under option to the Citizens'
company and which will be turned over to tl.e
city If the proposition is accepted. The basin
Is separated from the city by a knoll, so that
the wall would bo laid on the end farthest from
the city. In order to tap the basin It would be
necessary to tunnel the knoll. This tunnel would
be 1,250 feet In lejigth and thirty-four feet below
the surface at the deepest point.
The lusln, it Is said, would have a, capacity
of 340,000,000 gallons of water and the water-shed
on the east would furnish, on an estimate given
by A. fl. Dunning, of Scranton, at least a half
billion gallons of water a year, which, with what
flow of water there Is now on the ground would
allow 200 gallons per day for each resident of the
city, figuring the population at 15,000.
It has been estimated by l'.nglncer Dunning
.hat the construction of the plant and piping
if the city will cost $170,000. Councils will
ncet some time this month to take further action
in. the matter.
FRUIT GALORE.
Regarding the Catholic Ladles' Independence
Day fete the Review said: "Some one mentioned
that about everything had been provided for but
the fruit, and added: "What are we going to do
for fruit?" rather Coffey solved the problem by
calling before him several hundred little girls,
each of whom was requested to bring three
oranges, three bananas, etc., or their equivalent
in cash. Fruit multiplied like the loaves and
fleshes and Hie outcome seemed almost as mirac
ulous as the feeding of the five thousand."

IS IT RIGHT
Tor an Editor to Recommend Patent
MedicinesP
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N, C.
It may bo a question whether tho
editor of a newspaper has tho right to
publicly recommentl any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
markets, yet as a preventive of suffer
ing wo feel It a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. "We have
known and used this medicine In our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found It reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician Is await
ed. Wo do not believe In depending
Implicitly on any medicine for a cure,
but we do believe that If a bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
Inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and In very many
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
haB been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by all
druggists. Matthews Bros., wholesale
and retail agents.
DAMAGE FROM STORM.
Telephone and Electric Light Ser
vices Broken Up in Tunkhannock.
Other Property Destroyed.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Tunkhannock, July 7. The streets
hero today have presented a scene of
unusual activity owintr to the Bangs
of men employed In Bathering up tho
debris of yesterday's storm. Street
Commissioner Cnrpentor was out with
a Bans of men nil day engaged In re
moving tho trees from the street to
mnke them passable nnd tho work was

LUZERNE PRIMARIES.
Crawford County Rules Given a Trial
by Down-the-Valloy Republicans.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Plttston, July S. The Crawford
county rules governing primaries wero
formally initiated in the Republican
party In Luzerne county on Saturday
evening, when tho people wero Biven
their flrst opportunity to vote directly
for the men whom they wished to
place In nomination. The returns
have not all, as yet, been reported,
but as far as can be estimated, tho
succssful ones of tho list of forty-two
aspirants, are as follows:
For Congress Ex-Attorney General Henry W.
Palmer, of Wllkesllarre.
For Matn Senator-William Drury, of Fittstrn.
For Additional Law Judge Ceorge S. Ferris,
of West Plttston.
For Clerk of the Courts Reese Lloyd, of
Frceland.
For District Attorney Benjamin It. Jones, of
Warrior Run.
For Prothonotary Brlnton Jackson, of Nantl
coke, or Jonathan It. Davis, of Kingston, with
the chances In faor of the former.
For Jury Commissioner W. L. Hlggs, of
Wilkes-Barrc.
As an eliminator of tha use of boodle,
the first test of the Crawford county
rules has proven a flat failure. More
money by far has been spent for tho
primaries this year than under tho old
system and it Is generally thought
that the total amount aggregates be
tween $50,000 and 75,000. The rules
wero effective In bringing out an un
usually largo primary vote. At the
last genernl election the largest Repub
lican vote cast In the county was 14,
344 and It is estimated the vote at
Saturday's primaries will foot up sev
eral hundred more, in Wllkes-Uarro
city alone, 600 votes more were cast
than at the last genernl election. While
the result Is not all that could be de
sired In tho lino of nationalities, the
distribution of tho ofllces In regard to
localities has been fairly welt done
and tho ticket can bo considered a
Btrong one,
Mr. Ferris has probably polled tho
highest number of votes on the ticket
nnd was an easy winner.
Tho nomination of Mr. Drury for
state senator Is a sweeping victory for
tho Quayltes, and his handsome ma
jority over his chief opponent, Mr.
Scott, (an avowed anti-Quay man), lo
a blow to the "antls." While Mr. Dru
ry has not publicly expressed himself
on tho question, It Is generally under
stood he will stand by the caucus and
vote for Mathew Stanley.
The selection of Benjamin Jones for
district attorney Is not considered a
surprise, nnd he beat Mr. Baxter with
plenty of votes to spare. The latter
had aroused considerable Interest In
his candidacy owing to his energetic
