Other Veracious Chroniclings. floccial to the Scranton Tilbunt. Htisquelmnna, Ocf. 10. Sam Felton, of the Cascade section, had a startling experience near Gulf Summit on "Wednesday night. He had attended a political mectliiu at the Summit, and on returning he had occasion to pass through the dooryard of Farmer Gil bert, .who was away from home. Pass ing through the yard, Felton saw a large wildcat in a tree. He was not armed, but he at once made an attack upon the cat by throwing stones into the tree. With a savage yell the beast sprang from the limb and landed upon Fel ton's shoulders and commenced to tear his clothing and person fearfully. Sam defended himself as best he could with the means at hand, but was fast be ing vanquished when there was a sud den crash, and man and cat fell through some rotten boards and Into a well twenty feet deep. Felton was partially stunned, but the wildcat fell upon him and escaped injury. The cat Immediately renewed the attack with tooth and nail when Sam, with a su preme effort, loosened a stone from the well wall and clashed It upon the head of the cat, crushing Its skull, and kill ing it almost instantly. Then Sam set up a lusty shout, which was heard by some men who were passing by In a wagon. They procured some ropes and brought him to the surface, where he was soon given medical attention. He was bad ly torn and lacerated, and his clothing was in tatters. When next he attacks a wildcat he will use a gun. SOME NEWS GLEANINGS.

Those who oppose improvements. Those who run it down to strangers. Those who show no hospitality to any one. Those who hate to see others make money. Those who put on a long face when a stranger speaks of locating. Those who oppose every movement that does not originate with them selves. . Those who oppose evcrv public Im provement that does not appear of personal benefit to themselves, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. Never be in too much of a hurry.

The average pastor would be happy if his people would hate sin as they do an extra collection, Now Is the time to sit and get a bargain, says an exchange. Sitters are not usually considered bar-gains. The Ladles' Home Journal claims that "Our happiness depends on little things." This is too true. A man who comes Into possession of a plugged quarter can never know true happiness until ho succeeds in passing it off on some one else.

The Dauphin county court has not yet handed down a decision on the matter of the senatorial contest from this district. The hearing was had before them on October fith and the parties here are expecting a decision almost any day. In the matter of the exceptions which were filed to the nomination papers of Mr. Edmlston, the candidate from Bradford county, the court has decided that the papers were valid. Exceptions were filed in this case, along with numerous-others, to test the question as to the right of a canudidate to go on the official bal lot by certificate of nomination and by nomination papers also.

MISS BETTY MAYNE had been back in Lindcnthorpe for a week, and for a week Lindcn thorpe had been shocked. MIs3 Mayne felt hurt. When sha returned she had been homesick for the sea and the seaboard folks, left be hind when her aunt carried her up to London years before; and friendli ness was In her heart toward them. Instead of receiving the same, she had been met with envy nnd Jealousy and all unchnrltableness. Partly It was her fault, partly theirs. They only remembered her as the Imp and scapegoat of tho village, who played on the rocks all day long with bare feet, and they resented her grown-up fashlonablllty. She could not help realizing that sho was better dressed, knew more of the world and was In many ways a hundred years ahead of Lindcnthorpe. Then, again, Mr. Silas Attonborough, who always did the right thing, and whose actions, accord ingly, were viewed with an indulgent eye. had seemed in dunner of dolus ' the wrong thing. "Moonstruck," Miss Cirlggs declared him to be. And tle Minx was not even fluttered. It wan on Sunday that tho shock of shocks occurred. To begin with, sev eral minutes after service hud begun. Miss Betty Muyno walked In almost strolled in us cool ub a cucumber, and clad In tho most outrageously tine dreys, and stood In the entrance (iiiMeatl of modestly nudlnir herself a ueat) poking away at the stones with a green lmraiol, until Mr. Attenbor cush, who was church warden tlio youngest church warden LInUenthorpo hod ever had rose in hla Sunday best to show her to a place. People were more delisted thun surprised when Miss Muyne, after fun nlni; herself ostentatiously for sointi time, rosu and stalked out of church by the front door, Such behavior wan tu be expected from u Minx, It was what followed that left Llndonthorpo resigned to anything ehort of an earth quake. Miss Mayne wandered down toward the beach in a pensive mood and tool; a seat on u bit of sand stone. She was a pretty sight in blu and gold, whatever Miss Griggs' opin Broad street, about six weeka ago. He wns held undpr 1300 bail by Alderman Loftua for a further hearinr next Sat urday evening. A slight squceae occurred n the Marcy vein at No. B shaft of tho Penn sylvania Coat company, at Inkermnn, yesterday. As a precaution the mules were all removed from the mine.

On Friday evening, u Polander was robbed of J7.G0, near tho Delaware and Hudson depot, at Cork lane. The for eigner arrived on a lato train. Ho ap peared to bo a now arrival from tho old country, and inquired tho wav to Duryea. Several Cork lane ruffians volunteered to act as his KUlde, and getting tho atranger away from the depot, relieved him of his change. The foreigner returned to the depot, and was taken care of during the night by the good-natured station agent, David Padfleld. ONE THING IMPOSSIBLE. Former Senator Edmunds Points It Out to a Foreigner. George F. Edmunds, for many years a notable leader among American statesmen, and for a quarter of a cen tury United States senator from Ver mont, is quietly rounding out his long llfeho Is now over 70 in a fine home in the neighborhood of the famous Rlt tenhouse square, in Philadelphia, re lates the Saturday Evening Post. He has a. genial manner, and a certain humor which his friends think very delightful, and this humor ho quietly indulges In expressing unexpected ideas. He likes to visit Washington occa sionally, and to see again the scenes of his many triumphs. He wns visiting the capltol recently in company with a distinguished for eign visitor who was traveling exten nlvely In the United States. After the. ex-senator had shaken hands with his former colleagues of the senate and had Intioducod the foreign visitor he escorted him out to the portico of the capltol, upon which tho old Congres sional library opens. The visitor was admiring tho fine view of the city from that point and was led to speak of the cities of the country and the great capabilities of our people. He was full of enthusiasm about what he had seen, and exclaimed: "It seems to me that nothing Is Im possible In America!" "Oh, yes, there is something impos sible," said Mr. Edmunds, glancing up the broad expanse of Pennsylvania avenue, upon which were visible a brass band and a- dusky, moving throng. The visitor shook his head in vigor ous dissent. "What can possibly be impossible?" he asked. "Why," replied Mr. Edmunds with a twinkle, "to march a band of music up that avenue and have the negroes march the other way." ELECTRICAL GUN. Three Thousand Shots a Minute Without Heating the Barrel. from the London Times. Our Newcastle-on-Tyne correspon dent Informs us that a machine gun of a novel character has been in vented by Mr. James Judse, a we'l known engineer of Newcastle, who thus describes it: "The gun is a pat ent centrifugal quick-firing muchlu? gun; it Is five feet high and weighs about live hundredweight. It is in tended for a battleship, earthworks and garrison purposes. The motive power is electricity, transmitted to a motor causes a disk to revolve at a very high rate of speed. The bullets, which are introduced into the interior of the disk at the axle, travel along curves in the Interior to the circum ference and are there impelled through a barrel. It is claimed that this disk will rotate, under the influence of the motor, at tho rate of 12,000 revolutions a minute, and will eject shots from the muzzle of the gun with an initial velocity of 2,000 feet per second. One of the chief characteristics of tho gun is 'that it will maintain a continuous fire. If necessary, a shot may be dis charged every half revolution, but in practice one shot every fourth revo lution will be found sufficient. The1 bullets nre sperlcal and measure 3-16 inch in diameter. The following are the results of the ABOUT ion might bo. A church warden Is)at liberty to differ on a question like this, and Mr. Silas Attenborough, as he walked from church down to the sea, and 'saw the Minx on her rock, dlflercd in toto from Miss Griggs. He felt a desire to rebuke the Minx for her con duct In church that morning, but was It wise to venture to the rocks? He was In his Sunday clothes, and not very sure of foot among slippery weeds. Nevertheless, his sense of duty being strong, Mr. Attenborough cross ed the rublcon and at length reached the sandstone rock. The Minx nodded to him. "I saw you In church this morning," sho said. "I zee you," said Mr. Attenborough, ginvely, "It was very funny," she went on. "Tho very first thing I noticed was a chalk mark on your coat from lean ing against tho pillars, and 1 do, be llovo you've got it on still." This was hardly the conversation Mr. Attenborough had pictured to himself, and he tubbed the chalk away before replying, "It seemed you left church avore the sermon ?" "Dieadfully ventilated, Isn't It?" she said, nodding, "i really wonder people don't get sulteated sometimes." "It were a powerful sermon." "Short ones always are, I think, Or did you coine after me before It was finished " "Come after?" Mr, Attenborough was taken aback. He had hurriid, cortululy; but ho hud. hardly expected the Minx to notice that, "Coom after avore t' serinou was fin ished?" He recovered himself Indig nantly, t shouldn't think oft. But" "You didn't epeet to seu ine hero?" .Sieo the Minx sat on a rock In full view of fho shore, '.Mr. Attenborough evaded what seeinpcl a fruitless Ques tion, "It's agreeable by t' sea, here avore dinner?" he remarked, f "Tho same, as over," she said "all Llndcnthorpe's the same as over tio sea and tho villa'go und the folks. They might have, slept and never waked since the (lay I left sVyen years ago. Oh!" she roused herself to sudden ani tests already made with the gun: 18, 000 rounds of shot at 4he rate of 8,000 a minute have been discharged from (he Run, Those shots consisted of nickel steel, some of brass Ju used in France), lend, nnd chilled motat. It. was tested seven times privately no motor was used, nor is ono yot attached to the gun, although tho gun Is cpnstrueted for nn electric motor. The tests were made by means of a bolt driven by a steam engine. Under these conditions the velocity required, and which it !? malntajncd an electric motor will produce, wns not, of course, attained, but tho practical working of the gun was fully1 demonstrated, A long range could not be had because of the necessity of secrecy, and the testing was done in a covered shed at Dlyth dry docks. 4 steel target, 3-32 inch thick, was shattered, the disk of the gun revolving at a speed of 2,600 revolutions per minute. Front the penetration of the turget It Is cal culated that at a distance of 400 yards a penetration of a similar character will be effeoted of a plate 7-1 6 inch thick under the Influence of an elec tric motor. There Is no ..heating of the barrel of the gun, nccausei of the continuous stream of cold air which is Impelled through It by the turning of the disk. The disk Itself is also free from heating on account of ths special bearings on which it Is con structed. These bearings are a highly complicated mechanical contrivance, and are similar to those used in Par sons' turbines, which can revolve at the rate of 22,000 revolutions a minute, and LevauVs motor, which revolves at the rate of 30,000 revolutions a minute. To test tho gun thoroughly It will be necessary to affix a motor, which wilt he a five horse-power motor coupled direct on to the shaft. DEFENDS THE GRAND JURY. It Is a Shield of Protection, Says Judge Yerkea. A remarkable charge to the grand Jury was delivered by Judge Yerkes recently at the opening of the Bucks county court. Concerning the Jury sys tem Judge Yerkes had this to say: "In my humble judgment there Is no movement more deserving of the care ful watchfulness of the citizen than that which occasionally reveals its purpose to strike down the Jury sys tem from Us Influential participation In tho adjudication of personal rights and business differences and to confer on courts composed of lawyers alone an t unmixed and uncontrolled power to ad judicate the dearest rights alike to the lowest and the highest citizen. That the attacks come from sources en titled to the highest respect and of consequent great influence, should ex cite Increased vigilance. The grand jury stands as a shield of protection between the power and oppression of authority and the helplessness of simple citizenship, thereby strengthen ing the institutions of free government. The abolition of the grand Jury will leave the accused citizen no security against the prejudice or mistakes of an unjust or unwise judge or district attorney, or possible contrivances and falsehoods of the unscrupulous prose cutor and cunning lawyer. "Of course, the grand jury, when placed In leading strings and locked in a room with a district attorney' officer, without a disposition to assert its prerogatives, 'te a useless appendage to the court. But In times of great public peril, or In presence of deep seated and long neglected abuses, long er unendurable by the people, when no private prosecutor dare take the re sponsibility alone of initiating proceed ings, the divided, yet powerful, and also combined, responsibility of the secret session of the grand Jury, acting honestly and Independently, has work ed out great problems of reform and conectlon, and when has this sreat power been abused by a grand jury?" 'TO A GOOD SOLDIER.' Remarkable Tribute of Richard Harding Davis to Private Brass. From the Saturday Evening Post. That Mr. Richard Harding Davis knows how to gain tho good will of soldiers is shown by an incident that occurred while he was correspondent with the army about to sail for Cuba. Massachusetts troops had had their first death that of a young man named Wcslle A. Brass. Mr. Davis was anxiou-j to pay some A MINX mation "but I'd like very much to shock them!" "Shock 'em?" said Mr. Attenborough, aghast. "Shock you all because I detest peo ple who ran bo shocked. And if I knew for certain that I detested Lln denthorpe I'd be content to leave it and never see it again." She sank back against the rock. "Would you now?" said Mr. Atten borough, astonished. She nodded. "It's quite true," she said. "I don' think I'm easy to shock," he said, guardedly, "You?" she shook with laughter, "You? Why, you were shocked In church this morning. You'd be shocked If I were to push you into 'that pool; you're shocked now at hearing me sug gest such a thing," "T' church Is different," remarked he, hastily edging from the pool, "But out of t' church I'm not easy f shock." "You think so?" "Solemn trewth," said Mr. Attenbor ough, decidedly. '"Perhaps you're right," she said. "But," sho pointed a finger toward the shore, "Is that Miss Griggs over there?" He followed tho direction of her fin ger, and saw that most of the congre gation were assembled in groups about tho Hhore, '"Tls Indeed," ho groaned; "uu' Miss Chiflln and t' whole Sunday school watching us, I think that we shud be getting back." "Don't let me keep you," she said, "It Is not keeping me. 'Tls only" lie looked about him for an excuse. "Zip mo! T' sea" "What do you mean?" '"J." sen!" said Mr, Attenborough. "It'3 como up" Sho spiang to her feet In great In dignation; "Till; comes of your tulklng. Why couldn't you keep your eyes open what U to be done?" "Could yow wade?" suggested Mr, Attenborough, apologetically, Ho knew nothing of the rocks and what depths cut him off from the shore, Only he remembered that In old days the Imp of the village knew every Inch mark of respect to tho memory of this young soldier, He wanted flowers and out Into the siln he tramped, From place to place he went, but not a flower wns to be had. For two- hours he kept Up his search, but money could not buy a blossom. He was told, however, that eight miles away, at a lake side, he might get some. Along tho single main street of Lakeland the petty shopkeepers were dozing through their noon hours; no one was abroad who did not positively have to be: but out Into the (blistering heat Mr. Davis started away on horse hack for a. sixteen-mile trip. He found the flowers, brought thorn back, protecting them as carefully us pos sible from the heat of the sun, and then, with his own hands, he made a simple cross of laths and tied them on, He still needed some colors. A flag was not to be had. Front store to store he tramped, waking up the pro prietors, till ho got some red, white and blue ribbon, and that night his' tribute, a rude-shaped, flower-covered cross, tied with the ribbons, lay upon the "casket In the clapboarded church. He remained in town for the burial, and when another service was held, a week later, in tho boy's home town, Mr Davis' tribute, "To a Good Sol dier," lay, faded and battered, upon the casket, and later was placed on ttie grave. SHOWED HER SHREWDNESS. How a Woman Illustrate. Her Devo tion to Economy. She was the wife of an official of a St. Paul street corporation. Her one pet hobby was economy. Though her husband made an excellent salary, she was rigid In her rules pertaining1 to the buying of tho necessaries for the household. Sho would haunt bargain counters and market stalls for hours in order to get tho benefit of a reduc tion of a few cents on the article de sired. ,The corporation official, with much laughter, used to tease his better half about what ho called her "stinginess." So one day, feeling hurt at his ridicule, sho resolved to take him to market with her, and demonstrate beyond a doubt that she was a most economical buyer. Ho consented, stipulating that he was not to be asked to carry the basket. Arriving at the market, she made several purchases, and then at one stall Inouirsd the price of eggs. "What!" she exclaimed; "16 cents a dozen? No, indeed, that is too high." She dragged her reluctant husband after her from one stand to another, still Inquiring the price of eggs, 'and always receiving the same answer, un til the upper end of the market. Here she found a-dealer who offered to sell her eggs in any quantity for 15 cents. To her husband she said joyously: "There, I told you so. Why, those others were robbers." Turning to the salesman, she ordered half a dozen eggs, gravely handed him the 8 cents asked In payment, and went home, prattling away about tho worth of economy in marketing, and the alleged willingness of dealers to gouge the unsuspecting customer. And to this day she does not know that her husband and his friends laughed over it at the club. REV. S. A. DONAHOE Testifies to the Good Qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

He stated that ho had employed a number of women, wearing long skirts, to walk for one hour through tho streets of the ... . "Wade? In my best things?" Her scornful tone made hjm feel more at fault than ever. "P'raps they'll send a boat." he said. "After we're drowned?" "P'raps I could take yew over to th' shore?" "See how deep it Is first," sho said, imperiously. He let himself down gingerly, and the water closed over the knees of his best trousers. "Think vew would lolke to be car ried?" Jie asked, dolefully, stretching out his arms for her to hurry. But she kept him there while sho struggled to hide her laughter, and then said threateningly; "If you drop me, I skull never for give you" "And It I doan't drop yew?" said he. "Lindcnthorpe never will." "Coom!" ho said. And at that she let him tako her Into his arms, Tho folk of Llndenthorpo on the beach were taking much Interest In the pro ceedings. "The Minx!" said Miss Gtiggs; "did you ever?" The church waiden was splashing through pools of water, regardless of his appearance, and only careful to protect the affected burden In his arms. Mof of Linden thorpe was assembled on tho shlnreln when he reached the unliivaded sand. MIbs Betty Mayne made no motion of descent, "Shall I set yew doon?" he asked, "No," sho said, "jt's damp I should wot my shoes.

"Whom be I cauylng?" he ashed, "Be I currylns ma Biveetheurt?" "If you will," she said, .stormed by his unexpected boldness. He put wv down In the middle of the arffoinliled folk, some of whom feigned to be wutehlug the sea. Miss Griggs hap pened to be the nearest, and she shook her head archly at the church warden. "I'm shocked," she said. "We're all shocked, Mr. Attenboiough." "Are yew?" said he. "J'm I'm sweet hearted."The King. JONAS LONQ'S 30V. Bauer's Orchestra r PERSONALLY BY PROF. R. J.

Jonas Long's Sods city, and after their promenade was over, he had taken their skirts and submitted them to a careful bacteriolo glc examination. He found on each skirt large colonies of noxious germs, including' those of Influenza, tuberculo sis, typhoid fever nnd tetanus. Numer ous other bacilli were also well reore sented on each skirt. Dr. Casagrandi maintained that in view of these facts, women, and especially mothers, should at once stop wearing long skirts, and the other members of the congress un hesitatingly expressed the same opin ion and passed a resolution to this ef fect. That women should willingly sub ject themselves to the filth, to say nothing of the possible dangers of trail ing skirts, has long been a wonder to sensible people who are acquainted with bacteriology. For street wear they certainly cannot be considered In ajiy sense either cleanly or hygienic. However, we cannot expect reform In this matter until those who set the fashions can be Influenced, for women aro bound to be In the fashion regard less of any ordinary considerations. There is some encouragement in the fact that at present bicycle skirts nnd golf skirts arc liu vogue, and we hope they will become still more popular, for while we arenot nware that any previous scientific Investigations have been undertaken In this line any well Informed medical man could have readily predicted the results of such Investigation.
