Brief Illness Fired tho Last Shot of the Civil War. Tho man who fired the last shot In the civil war, Hon. J. George Farber, died last evening at 5.15 o'clock, at his home In Petersburg, after u three months' III ncss of dropsy. The deceased was born In Allebach, Piussln, May 28, 1810, and was brought to this city by his parents In 1815. Since 1S51 he lived In the Petersburg portion of the city. He worked In the mines until tho breaking out of tho civil war, when ho and his brother Louis enlisted In Company II, Ninth Pennsylvania cavalry. His father had previously gone out with the One Hun dred nnd Seventh Pennsylvania In fantry. The deceased was discharged in July, 1SC5, after four years of the most active service. The Incident by which he won the distinction mentioned In the opening patagraph occurred at Kdwardsburg. N. C5T. just previous to Johnson's sur lender. Mr. Farber and George Bur kee, who stilt lives on Phelps stre t, were detached from their company of cavalry and assigned to artillery work. They were operating a large gun in a wooded place some distance from the main body and In this way continued tiring aftr hostilities had been called off, they not knowing of the surrender. Mr. Burkee and George Sehultz, si. brother-in-law of the de ceased Mr. Farber, .ire the only sur vivors of the seventesn sturdy young lads who went out from .Petersburg with the Ninth cavalry. On returning to Scranton he was captain of a boat on the Pennsylvania canal for a year, then engaged in mining and finally established the Falrvlew hotel on Ash street, which lie conducted until about ten years ago, when ho retired from business to enjoy the fruits of his industry and well directed efforts. Mr. Farber was a commissioner nnd then a member of select council from the Tenth ward from 1872 to 1S78. In 1870 ho was elected the first register of wills of Lackawanna county, but tho supremo court declared the elec tion illegal. In the following year, however, ho was re-elected for thtee years and served his term. In 18S4 he was again In select coun cil, but resigned to take a seat In tho house of representatives, to which he was elected on the Republican ticket by a majority of 300. During his term he secured a $15,000 approptlatlon to the Lackawanna hospital. In 1886 he was again the nominee for the legis lature, but his opposition to the Brooks High License law militated against him and ho was defeated. In 1890 he was again elected to the select council and served four years. For twenty years ho served on the Republican county committee and for a good part of that time on the city committee also, having once been its chairman. He was a member of Union lodge, Fiee and Accepted Masons.tho Knights of Pythias, and Colonel Monies post, 319, Grand Army of the Hepublle. The deceased is survived by his wife and the following brotheis ani sisters: Fredeilck Farber. L. J. Far ber, Mrs. Jacob Star'' and Mrs. Alon zo Price, all of this Ity. ACCUSED OF LARCENY.

Stevens, of Tyrone, Named for Judge Resolu tions Condemn Both of the Old Parties and Say Some Harsh Things About President McKlnley. Memoers of the New County Com mittee Chosen. After some opposition nnd debate, the Prohibitionists of the county yes terday nominated a complete county ticket. Some of the delegates favored making no nominations for Judge or sheriff, but the convention decided otherwise. It was a mass convention and was attended by twenty-four per sons. A. O. Thomason, of this city, who has been county chairman for two years, called the convention to order and read tho call therefor, and after a prayer by Hev, C. B. Henry, pastor of the Methodist Kplscopal church of Taylor, B, G. Morgan, of West Scran ton, was elected chairman and Charles II. Chandler, secretary. Mr. Morgan, in taking the chair, spoke of the birth of tho Prohibition movement and of tho efforts mode to get recognition from the old parties. "Like the aboli tionists," he said, "we had to organize a party of our own; a party that ought to attract every honest, conscientious citizen." Ho then proceeded to dis cuss the causes that keep men out of the prohibition party and closed by saying, "If God Is for us let us go forwaul and succcs-n Is sure to come." THK 11KSOLUTIONH. The following resolutions were read by W. W. Lathrope and adopted by the convention: Hie lepresentativei of the Prohibitionists of Lai kawarmi county, in convention assembled, we lulUim our oft-iipealcd declaration that the suppicsdon of the liquor t raffle is the most Im poiunt question now be hue the Amerlcun people, whether considered from a political, a moral or a financial point of view. It is our solemn conviction tli.it there is no hope of reform, cither moial or political, through tho agency of the two great pirtles. Their or ginlzallons are hopelessly coirupt. l'nder their rule,.'i'bbath desecration, immorality, lce and crime have increased, and are now increasing at a fearful rate. And I hey otb r no icniedv. Such of thilr leaders as aie honest and tiuly patriotic are cither afraid to antagonize the llipiur dealers and political bossis or else they nie constantly outfitted by them. These bosses and liquor deal cis control nearly all our laige cities and many of our state governments, and they are now supreme in tlie fed ral gov ei tunc nt. I'll villi lit McKlnley, by what he has done and by what he has left undone, has given more aid to the liquor business and more encouragement to the drinking of intoxicants thin any other nnn in our land. In support of this sulnus tlnrgc. we make those Fpioltieations: 1. Although a member of the Methodist Kplsco pal church, which enjoins total abstinence upon its members, he has ilisohcjcd this injunction and Indulged In wine at public hmqucts, nml thus by force of Ids exalted position and his member ship in a Christian church, he Ins encouraged young nun all over the land to imitate his per nicious example. 2. He is personally and politically intimate with prominent brewers and distillers: like Ccorgc II. ("ox, of Dead Man's Alley, ("Inclnnitl, and ftrccnliut, of 1'eoil.i. IIo was a guest recently in Mr, Oreenhut's house. THK ARMY CANTKF.N. 3. As coniniander-ln-chlcf of our army, ho has permitted the army canteen to do its deadly work. Thousands of our soldiers who, when they were enlisted, were temperate men, have become drunkards, and thousands more are on the way to the drunkenness and ruin. This he has per mitted In opposition to the expressed Judgment of nearly all our generals, including the com manding general. By a stroke- of his pen he can abolish the canteen, and could have abolished it at any time during his term, without the aid of congress. 4. Through two of his cabinet officers he has nullified tho anti-canteen law enacted by con gress Tor the avowed purpose of prohibiting the sale of liquors In the army. The opinion of the attnrne- general with reference to this law Is a perversion of plain English. As a member of congress has said, "It was wholly contrary to law and to common sense." As an eminent Jurist has said, "It totally perverts the manifest Inten tion of the law." This Is Imperialism of the worst tvpe. 5. The president, whose will Is law in all our new Lohmics, has permitted beer jnd whiskey to follow the flag wherever our soldieis have gone. Hy a policy mis-called "benevolent assimilation" our new subjects are Invited to imitate our vices and to pationizc American saloons and other dens of vice. As a consequence, these institutions have increased and multiplied in our new posses sions. The president, as comnnnder-In-rhlef and as absolute ruler over these possessions, could prohibit these evils at once. We aihrin what is generally conceded, tint I'ennsvlvanla Is the worst boss-ildelen and the worst corporation-ridden state in the t'nion. (Jua.vism is still In the saddle, although (Jiny himself seems to be on the wane. It has recently been shown that the tremendous Republican ma jorities in this slate are laigel.v. If not entirely, fraudulent. We quote from the address of the I nion Committee for the Promotion of Ballot Reform In l'eiins.vlvanla, as follows: "Illegal voting and f-ilse counting Invc been resorted to in some localities to such an extent that the olhi ial returns can no longc r be relied on, and it may be said without cxiggcratlon that it has become impossible to ascertain with any near ap proaches to accuracy, the wishes of the voters. It is estimated that in Philadelphia alone the exclusion of all fraud In the voting and counting would nuke a ill ire re tie e of fifty thousand votes in the final returns." IN THIS COUNTY. In our own county of Lackawanna, bribery and fund .are rampant. With the great majorltj of our politicians there is no such thing as honor. Candidates aie ready to sill out their associates on the same ticket and to trade and dicker with candidates on the oppaslng ticket. They make promises of reward, which they break without compunction. It is well known that in our pres ent county campaign, some of the old party candidates arc suspicious of their associate tun- BUY NOW. Delaware and Jersey Peaches. Fancy Bartlett v Pears. E. G.

On motion of A. G. Thomnson, the choir appointed a committees of three on nominations, which was made up as fcdlows: A. G. Thomason, W. W. Lathrope and C. L, Hnwiey. Mes"".

COMPLAINTS ABOUT CHICKENSAND COWS THEY ARE MADE TO HEALTH OFFICER ALLEN. In His Report Which Was Read at Last Night's Meeting of tho Board of Health He Said That Humanity Should Be Kept at n Decent Dis tance from tho Bruto Creation Re ports That Wero Presented by the Different Officers for Considera tion. "It's as hard to write a report with out having anything to repot t about as to make bricks without straw," was tiie apologetic way In which Health Officer Allen prefaced the read ing of ids report at last night's month ly meeting of the board of health. The report Itself consists principally ot a statement against the nuisance fit chicken coops and cow stables In thickly populated portions ot the city, and among Dr. Allen's terse cont inents are the following: "Humanity, T think, should be kept at a deci'nt distance from the brute cieatlon. Noah always had my sym pathy. It would perhaps be dllllcult to prove that the sonnets and odois mentioned contain disease germs, but they are full of wrath at least." The leport In Its entirety follows: To the Hoard of Ilratth. Ocntlemen: During the month of ugmt fifty one nuisances were reported to the board of health ond forty-four were abited ungraded streets nnd lack of sewers causing the icnutnlng seven, l'ort.v-tvvn houses were placarded and seventy-two looms disinfected by Mi. I-vvis. Nu merous loud and sometimes angry complaints were made of chicken coops nnd cows which are kept in thickly settled parts of the cltj. and It Is not to be woiiili-ied at altogether. Aside from all other disagreeable conditions arising fiom chic km coops, the crowing, or, more prop el Iv, braving, of the mitnnioth cochins, brail ni.is, etc., Is quite enough to prevent any contluu ous ship in their vlilnltv. l lie) balking of dogs is bid enough, tint whrn one of these fourteen pound eh.ips with a voice that might be a good second to the last trumpet, atis, s to proclaim himself, insomnia is liable and almost certain to be the result; and, as to cows, every one who lives near them knows that no matter how carefully they might be at ti ruled to, however dean the stables and the ani mals themselves inly be kept, there is alwajs a strong tegumental- odor In evidence, which is not conducive to uppetite, nor comforting In any way. Humanity, I think, should be kept at a decent distance from the brute creature Noah alvva.vs hail m.v svmpathy. It would, perhaps, be dllllcult to prove that the sonnets and odors im ntioti", contain dlcae germs, but they are full of wialh, at least. Ver respectfully, W. i;. Allen, Health Ofllcer. MR. O'MALLKY PRESIDED. The meeting was presided over by O. O'Malley, who was elected to the chair In the absence of President Rey nolds. Dr. Allen, in malting his re port, said that the chickens nnd cows matter came directly under the board's supervision, as he was willing to vouch for it that th vocal efforts of the fowls alone, were enough to give a man nervous prostration. Tho recent Inspection of the city water supply was then discussed, nnd in connection with the subject. Dr. Allen remarked that tho Spring Brook Water company's reservoir has not as yet been visited by the board, whereat It was decided to malt" an Inspection of tills source of supply, at some near date. Food Inspector Wldmayer then pe titioned the board for a carriage, as he complained that ills duties neces sitated much travel about the city and he was sorely In need of a vehicle. One ot the fire department horses Is at his disposal, and all that he needs Is a carriage. The board discussed lhi matter, and found that there was no particular fund which could be drawn upon for the money, to gratify the food inspec tor's reriuest, and decided to Jet it rest for a vhlle. In the interim, how ever, Mr. Widmayer will have the use of a carriage furnished him by Mr. Elsie, of the board. The strenm of stagnant water at the corner of riillo street and Short avenue. North Scranton, which was reported at tiie last meeting of the board, occaslsoned considerable com ment ngaln last night. The matter was finally referred to the committee appointed at tho previous meeting, consisting of Dr. Allen and Dr, Rod ham, with power to act. SECRETARY'S REPORT. The report of the secretary showed that during August there were 1S4 denths, compared to 137 last year; 19 deaths were accidental and three cases of death from heat prostration were reported.
