Crator and wife of Buffalo, are visiting friends at LaPorte. Ice one inch thick was formed on Lake Mokoma, Sunday night. The thermometer registered at j C above zero, on Sunday night. Sunday was a fearful cold day. . A mark change from the past week.' Ex-County Treasurer Stonnont, is confined to his room with a bad cold. Women as well as men are making | applications for census enumerator j in the 6th district. Justices of the Peace are required ! to lile their acceptance ol' the office within 30 days after election. The attendance at court last week, i was the largest since the trial of j Spearman for murder, in 1880. Judge Taylor spoke very highly of the REPUBLICAN last week and renewed his subscription for a year in advance. Mrs, Judge Mason of LaPorte, is I visiting her husband, Judge Mason, j who is chief engineer of the W. it j N. B. It. It., at Williamaport, this week. The Mite Social will be held at the home of Miss Bessie Wrede j Friday evening March 7th. Warm sugar will be served during the' evening. The date fixed upon for the annu al convention of the Stato Teachers' A •ssociation, which will this year be held in Mauch Chunk, is July Bth, 9th and 10th. I Chas. Wing of this place left on Friday morning last for Maueh Chunk, where he has accepted a posi tion as reporter 011 the Mauch Chunk Daily Times. Land sales will take place on Monday June 9th, instead of the 10th, as we gave it last week. The second Monday iu June is the time fixed by law. John Mahoneyof Waverly,recent ly drew $3,000 in the Louisiana State lottery. This gift has enraged many to make investments in the money schema. The attorneys of Sullivan county were much fatigued at the close of court last week. They were con lined to the court room from Mon day at 2 p. m. until Saturday at 2 p. in. Mr. and Mrs. Russel Karns of Lal'orte left for Benton, Columbia county 011 Sunday, where Mrs. Karns will take the train for Stand ardville Virginia, to visit Mrs. E. 0. AVest, her sister, who is seriously ill. A land slide occured on the W. k N. H. railroad a short distance be- 1 low the "Y" 011 Friday which pre vented the train from running to Nordinont 011 Saturday and Monday i Our mail matter wa ; brought from 1 Sonestown. We would suggest that the I. 0. i O. F., organization of LaPorte, | present to the school directors of j LaPorte boro. the American flag to 1 be placed 011 the new graded school building now iu course of erection at the county seat. Atty. J. G. Scouten of Dushore, j while in attendance at court last week, called on the REPUBLICAN and renewed his subscription for a year in advance. John values the RE PUBLICAN very highly* and says he could not keep house without it. There were five commonwealth cases and two civil suits tried in our courts last week. District Attorney Thomson was assisted by Atty. E. M. Dunham and the two made a pretty lively team, being successful in nearly every case. The Reporter Journal comments upon a fellow townsman having in his possession a new suit of clothes. We should call this a trifle personal. Since the fact lias gone into print the subject of the sketch must at tract much attention. ! The tenth anniversary of the great Milton fire which comes on May 14, 1890, will be duly observed by {the citizens of that industrious city, j A general parade of fire companies and of secret orders is the program arranged for the occasion and a very big day is anticipated. Chalklev Loconey of Merc-hant ville, N. J., who has been tried for the murder of his ncice, Annie Leconey, was found "not guilty" on March 3d. This case has attracted much attention and the end was looked for with much interest by the public. Fifty car loads of ice has been t ordered of KaglesMere parties, by individuals of Williamsport. The ice is being loaded on cars at Muncy Valley. The thickness varies from |4to 0 inches. It is believed that ! after the Lewis Lake ice has been ! introduced into the city' market, that no other will be used in the future. An exchange says: "Shoe soci ables are the latest popular craze all over the country. The ladies ar range themselves behind the curtain which is raised only just high enough to exhibit their feet. The gentlemen choose partners for the evening by guessing at the owner ship of the shoes. When a fellow becomes thoroughly posted he seldom j need be long in choosing the one ' . , I who is ihe object of his affections." j The Wyalusing Rocket is having a heap of trouble over the poker ; players and the ''somebody" who is ] meddling with the street lamps in ! said town. We are proud to say i that we have no such wrong doers I in our little hamlet. Brother Ha- j maker we doubt if you can reform the corrupt morals of Wyalusing if the same individuals arc citizens that were some years ago when the : LaPorte B. B. C., played your nine j oa the Wyalusing ground. At that time it seemed to us as if the devil was in them as large as a whale. ! Samuel Benuer, the "Ohio farmer" who has attained considerable fame as a prophet of the rise and fall of prices of merchandise, lias revised and elaborated his prognostications for 1890, and now he says : •'1 predict that prices for iron and railroad stock will advance and be considerably higher in 1890 than in 1889, and that 1890 will be the most prosperous year for the iron trade, railroads and for general business since 1881. "Iron is the most useful of all metals—it is the monarch of all busi ness, the barometer of commerce; It is the great Jupiter of trade; and when the iron industry is prosper ous, so is the general business of this country." 1 lie Xew York World says that Charles Emory Smith will astonish the Russian ranks at the Court of s>fc. Petersburg bv abstaining from the use of intoxicating drinks. "Mr. Smith is not a prohibitionists, he has not tasted wine for many years. At public banquets lie turns his glasses down when the wine is pass ed. This will astonish the Russian blue-bloods, who arc the hardest drinkers in the world. We have al waj-s been represented at St. Peters burg by a man who liked at least a little wine at dinner. Buchanan> Curtain, Cameron, Jewell, Baker, Ingersoll, Lothrop, and others took wine with the Russians in a gener ous and friendly way." The decision of the court 011 Sat urday in reference to refusing the two new applications for license in the Borough of Dushore, was very firm and right to the point, Judge Sittser said : "It is of our opinion that Dushore has licenses enough, In uce we refuse to grant the appli cations of both Mr. Brewer and Sweeney." This is surely good evidence that new applicants from that section of the county need not apply with any assurity of securing the same. Judge Sittser is sustain ed in his decision by a large majori ty of the people of Sullivan county. They say that if there is any limit to license houses, Dushore has re ceived the same in the extreme. If nine liquor houses in a town of the size of Dushore is not suflicient to accommodate the traveling public the number necessary, 111 the eyes of a few who wish to engage in the business, could never be reached- To cure a felon, fill a tumbler with equal parts of fine salt and ice; mix well. Sink the finger in the centre, and allow it to be frozen and numb, then withdraw it, and when sensation is restored renew the operation four or tive times, when it will be found the disease is destroyed. This must be done before pus is formed. The Sullivan county commission ers were compelled to put a night guard over the convicted prisoner of last court and sentenced to four years in the Penitentiary in order that their man might be "there" when wanted by the Sheriff for transportation to Philadelphia. The reason assigned for this unnecessary expense to the county, is that our jail is not secure and prisoners who desire could take their leave at any time. This surely is not a very good send oil' for Sullivan county. Several of our county oilicials are frank in saying that we need and should have a new jail. "Pulled" for Pulling Pins. A Sayre correspondent of the Elinira Advertiser says: "Larry Taylor of South Waverly was ar rested last Friday and brought to the Towanda jail, he having been detected the niglit before in pulling coupling pins from trains standing in the Lehigh yard. For some time past the company has been annoyed iu this and other ways in the yard at Sayre, and thej' were watching to discover the perpetrator; they were surprised to catch one of their own men, Taylor bein» a switchman in the employ of that company. His oll'ense is a serious one." The Western Watchman a prom inent Catholic weekly journal of .>t. Louis, printed Saturday a letter, from its ltoman correspondent in which he says that the Congregation \of the Universal Inquisition h:is issued a decree, signed by Cardinal Monaco and published in the oilicial *. | organ of the Vatican, abolishing the Lenten fast and abstinence this year. This is extended to the whole world, the letter say s, wherever the ordin aries shall judge the dispensation necessary. The reason for setting aside the Lentou obligation, it is the prevailing influenza, which is making such ravages in ail parts of Europe and is thought to be pre valent in the United States. This decree, it is said, will be quite a sur prise and is said to be the lirst of the kind ever issued. Fire at Forksvilie. Short!}' before 7 o'clock Inst \ Monday evening, the cry of lire sounded through the streets of Forksville, and a dense cloud of black smoke was seen rising near the centre of the town. A barn throng ing to Hon. \V. C. llogers, was in flames. A strong ellbrt was made to save the building but it soon be came apparent that it must go.; Separated lroiu it by a narrow alley! were two other barns; one belonging to Judge Wright, and the other to Mrs. \V. H. llandall. It was thought these might be saved, and soon a stream of water was being poured over them, but the heat was so in tense that those who were trying to save them were forced to give up. In a few minutes both barns were in flames. In the meantime, the new stable of the \Y arburton hotel, des pite the efforts made to save it, had caught fire and the heat from the burning buildings was so great that the Warbuiton hotel and the fine new residence and stable of Mr. A. A. Collins would have togo too. In fact both house and barn did catch tire, but by the most strenuous eirort it was extinguished before it made much headway. Had Mr. Collins's barn burned, his house, the NVarburton hotel and the residence of Mr. John Clark would doubt less have gone too. The drug store belonging to W. F. llandall were in great danger, and had there been much wind stirring would probably have gone with the rest. Upon the whole, it was fortunate that no more damage was done. The fact that it was a still Dight aided largely in preventing a disasterous conflagra tion which might have resulted in the destruction of most of the town. The stable belonging to Mr. YVar burton is insured for about one-half of its value. The others are not insured. The origin of the fire is I unknown. * * * Considering the limited amount of business to be transacted at the Republican Convention on Tuesday, there was quite a general turnout. Every distiict in the county with the exception of three were represented. Judge Ingh;tm was elected delegate to the State Convention which was about all of the business of any importance transacted. Streby you can now say that the Republican Convention convened and that there was at least 40 or 50 good sound Republi cans in attendance. Something over a century ago it suddenly struck England that good roads would be an advantage. Macadamized roads vera made soon on all the principal highways of the United Kingdom. All the high ways of Europe were macadamized or otherwise made solid, until at present, except in Italy, there is not what Americans would call a bad road in the southern half of Eu rope. Mndholes are practically un known. The result of improved roads in England was that hitherto inaccessible lands began to be culti vated and raise large crops of wheat, real estate increased in value and English people began to travel about their own country and make trade lively. The increase in economic value these roads brought to the nation could hardly be computated. It made a difference whether one or two horses could draw a given load. Meantime America is one of the richest of nations and has absolutely the worst roads of any civilized people. I Cooper Buys out Forepaufjh. It was officially announced Mon j day that the executors of the estate jof the late Adam Forepaugh had I sold the great show plant and title ;of the aggregation to .laincs E. I Cooper, the veteran tented manager, j The purchaser of the late showman's I great property is a well known resi ! dent of Philadelphia, lie has been | in the circus business for a quarter l of a century, formerly being a pai't | ner of Jus.

Tile tour be gan at San Francisco in the latter) pari of 187(5 and closed the trip three years latter at Bio dc Janeiro. The lour was a very successful oue and proved the entering wedge (or future trips abroad. The Forepaugh property under the ownership of Mr. Cooper, will retrain all the features of the old aggregation and will be under the old management. Adam Forepaugh I -Jr., the son of the former owner, and j John A. Forepaugh, his nephew, will be the new managers. The new owner announces that the season will open at the old Fore paugh Park on the 21st (lay of April, and every effort will be made to maintain the high standard of recent years.
