LAPOBTS, PA. AIABCH 21st, 1890. LOCAL DEPARTMEMT Wyalusing wants a dentist. Owing to dull times, news is a trifle scarce, this week. The weather guage is watched with a great deal of interest. It is predicted that this will be ft very short maple sngar seasou. Campbell A Son of Shunk, have ft new ad etoewhere in this issue. Read it. ' The Catawiasa shoe factory has shut down owing to a lack of or ders. Scrantoa liquor dealers have be gun war against illegitimate grog* geries. The school children are practicing for the exhibition to take place on the last day of the term. One week from next Tuesday is the Ist day of April." The summer season will soon be here. Wm. Moyer of LaPorte, shot and wounded a wild goose, on Lake Mokoma, on Friday last. S. Mead and J. W. Ballard, both of LaPorte, made a business trip to Williamsport, on Tuesday. The young people of EaglerMere enjoyed an oyster supper and dance at the Cliff House, on Tuesday even ing. The weather on St. Patrick's Day was not what you might call dis agreeable, although it snowed at intervals. A new side walk has been laid to Hotel Kennedy which is a great con venience to pedestrians going in that direction. Ladies who bite thread are slowly committing suicide. Most silks are soaked in acetate of lead, which is deadly poison. Henry Upman of LaPorte twp., now occupies the white house at j Cellestia. He took possession of the same on Monday. Newell of the Dushore Review is not pleased with the new two cent postage stamp. This is too bad. A ehange can be expected. It snowed for certain on Sunday afternoon. Snow flakes fell as large us wild geese feathers and the air was •'chuck" full of them too. It is too bad that LaPorte does not support a reading and a gossip room. For those who have nothing < else to do, it would be a great con- j venience. Miss Mariah Baumgarduer of Du-1 shore, was visiting friends at the' county seat 011 Friday evening j last, returning home on Satur day morning. Chicago is making preparations j for the great fair. It will soon be in order for Sullivan county to com mence getting things in readiness for the fair, too. A fresh lot of fine groceries tea and coffee of the best quality and other produce, also flour and feed at the lowest cash price at the store of Mas. M. C. LAUEK. The Monroeton Enterprise will change its make up next week and purchase a new press. We are pleased to note the prosperity and enterprise of the Enterprise. March is not a winter month, but winter seems to have included it in its repertory. Perhaps it is endeav oring to verify the idea of "Winter lingering in the lap of spring." LOST :—ln or about LaPorte A large red pocket book containing $65.00. The finder will be liberally rewarded by returning the same to the owner—Eugene Underwood, LaPorte Pa. Conrad Kraus the renown butcher of Dushore who visits LaPorte, told his assistant the other day while at the county seat to break the bones in editor Strcby's chops and lay them one side. - Those chops were broken. One hundred and twenty dollars, was stolen from a Hungarian by a brother Hungarian at Muncy Valley, on Monday night last. They were I both in the employ of the Stevens ville Tannery Co., and roomed in the same building. $25, reward is offered by the former for the cap ture of the latter. | The first of June, the usual time I of opening summer resorts will soon be here. Whether the climate will permit of the occasion, on this date, this year, is considered doubtful. A party of unemployed workmen marched through Scrantou a few days ago, and visiting a newspaper office protested because highway contractors would not displace Hungarians and give them work. It is reported that work will com mence on the W. & N. B. R. R., at Nordmont between the Ist and 10th, of April. Should this report prove true Lake Mokoma will immediately take a boom. W. C. Mason and W. T. Watrous, both of LaPorte, are engaged on the W. & N. 8., between Hall's and Williamsport. They are i unning a line for the road between said places. The Y. W. C. T., assisted by the Loyal Temperance Legion, will give an entertainment consisting of music, recitations and readings, in the M. E. church at LaPorte, Friday even ing March 28th, at 7:30 o'clock. A collection will be taken for the or organization. We call the attention of our read ers to the auditors notice published elsewhere, fixing the time for dis tributing moneys arrising from the sheriff sales of the property of John Appleman recently of Nordmont. Hon. B. S. Collins of Dushore, is auditor. Judge Wright P. M., of Forks ville, was the first agent of Uncle Sam in Sullivan county to have in stock a supply of the new postage stamps. The Judge has n world renown reputation of being up with the times and lie did not propose to be licking the old while the new were in market. The prisoners, four in number, who are confined in the Sullivan county jail do considerable loud talking and singing which causes a vibration of the jail department. One of these fiue mornings the peo ple of LaPorte will arrise to find the entire structure collapsed. The REPUBLICAN will immediately inform the public of the racket. The undersigned will sell cheaply, for cash, the kitchen and dinning room furniture now in use at the Clark house, LaPorte boro.—Con sisting of 1 "Good Morning" range No. 8, kitchen and extension tables, dinning room chairs, dishes, kitchen utensils etc. For information ap. ply at the house of A. Logan Grim- Mas. ISABELLE STANLEY. Thos. E. Kennedy Esq., who has served in the position of head clerk in the McFarlane & Co., store at the LaPorte Tannery for many years, resigned the same on Monday, and is now engaged in looking after his father's interest at Hotel Kennedy. Miss Bessie Wrede of LaPorte has taken Mr. Kennedy's position in the store and will no doubt prove a very courteous and obliging clerk. Mrs. E. O. West of Stanardsville Virginia, sister of Mrs. Russel Karns of LaPorte, died at her home in Va., on Wednesday of last week, of j dropsy. Mrs. Karns and neicc, Miss Sadie Cole, of Benton, were visiting deceased at the time of her death and remained until after the funeral which took place on Thurs day March 13th, returning home on Saturday. S. Mead and son Charley of La- Porte twp., have recently purchased a shingle machine and will erect the same on their farm about two miles from LaPorte. The machine will be run by an engine of eight horse power which they are expecting daily. Judging from the number of shingle machines now under course lof construction in this vicinity, it is only reasonable to presume that the article can be bought for small money in the future. Since adjoining counties have learned the state of the Sullivan county jail, exchanges published in the *ame are speaking in very light terms of the strncture and well they might. It certainly would be high ly interesting to the tax payers of Sullivan county to read a description of the jail written bj' guests of Eagles Mere who visited the building last summer, judging from remarks they made in reference to the same , while being showed through that department. A meeting of the lumbermen of the West Branch Valley was held at Williamsport Fnday evening March Tth, for the purpose of discussing the oondition of business arising from the scarcity of hemlock. It was decided to make a general ad vance in the price on all grades, to take effect immediately. The hem lock output this season is 80,000,000 short of last season's. This con dition was brought about owing to the open winter, which prevented the handling of the stock. The meeting was largely attended by manufacturers and dealers from the entire lumber district of the State. t t i JUDGE METZOER JJECIUES. Jnde Metzger on Tuesday morn ing rendered his decision in the in junction case of the Williamsport & North Branch Railroad Company against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to restrain the latter from obstructing by a Bwitch the route by which the former intends enter ing this city. The alleged obstruc tion consists of a switch on the property of John Metzger, in the First ward. His Honor, after a thorough review of the authorities bearing on the subject, grants the motion and continues the temporary injunction. The Pennsylvania com pany will not, therefore, be allowed to build the proposed switch, and the North Branch line, which is in fact the Lehigh Valley, will have a clear passage into the city. "Just a casual examination of the Merchantile Appraisment published in another column, will convince the most skeptical of tne importance of Dushore to Sullivan county, as re gards the volume of business trans acted. Dushore has twenty-two stores and the rest of Sullivan coun ty thirty-six. Let those interested figure it through and find just what percentage of the business of Sulli van county is transacted in Dushore. We believe it will astonish most ererj- one.—Dushore Review." 1 DUSHORE I! 1 DUSHORE !! Dushore 1 God bless you Dushore. We are so glad that we are living in the same county and so near Dushore. It is the wish of people that Dushore survive 40 centuries or more. Oh 1 Dushore your importance to the county could never be told. The metropolis of the countj'—Dushore. Some well person figure this out and give us their opinion of Dushore. Bigger young & Co., of Dushore, owners of a foundry at said place made an assignment of their property to Samuel Cole, assignee last week. Mike Rouse owner of the "Industrial Works" of said place, also made an assignment of his property to J. G. Scouten, assignee, on Friday. We have on exhibition in the post office building a "United States" washing machine, advertisement of the same can be seen elsewhere in this issue. By those who have in vestigated this apparatus pronounce it the best for the purpose made thej* have ever seen and especially does Atty. E. M. Dunham give it high praise, and even goes so far as to say that he believes it would wash the character of a Lawyer as white as snow. Atty. E. M. D. is thinking seriously of investing in one. There are other lawyers in the oounty who should follow his example. It will be acknowledged by all that if the machine can do this work satisfac tory it certainly will do the work represented in the advertisement. Call and see it. Several of our nimrods were out gunning the other day and came home by the way ofMokomaHights. Two of the sportsmen were in ad vance of the remaining party and all were armed with repeaters. Those in advance opened up fire upon something which resembled as near as they could make out, from a dis tance a rhinorceros. They fired eighteen shots before their fellow sportsmen came up and the thing was still standing, when they all agreed to give it one more volley and then proceed to the scene with ready guns in hand. This done they advanced and to their surprise learn ed that they had been firing at noth ing more or less than Frank Buck's well drilling machine. They all ad mitted that the thing resembled something that had seen a hard winter and had been poorly fed. We might say right here that the party was strictly made up of tem perance advocates and that to the free use of "snake bite" can not lie assigned for the inoffensive error. The distress among the miners and laborers of Scran ton, Pa., and vicinity is on the increase. The number of applicants for relief at the office of the relief committee are steadily increasing. On Thursday over two hundred persons were granted relief, and on Friday the number had increased to three hun dred. The subscriptions, however, instead of increasing in proportion to the applicants for relief, have been steadily decreasing. There is talk among the prominent people of the oity of getting op an immense fair for the benefit of the poor people. Compensation Law on the Census. Census Supervisor Bricker, of this district, has a circular for applicants, which defines the duties, qualifica tions and compensation of census enumerators. Each applicant is to present a certificate of character from at least two reputable citizens of the ward or district in which he lives. The census enumerators will receive a minimum of 2 cents, for each living inhabitant, 2 cents for each death, 15 cents for each farm, 20 cents for each establishment of productive industry, and 5 cents for each surviving soldier, sailor or marine, or widow of a soldier, sailor or marine, enumerated and returned* for all sub-divisions where such al lowances shall be deemed sufficient* In all other sub-divisions where higher rates are to be paid, accord ing to the difficulty of enumeration, the maximum rate shall not be more titan 3 cents for each living inhabi tant, 20 cents for each farm, and 30 cents for each establishment of pro 'ductive industry ; nor shall they be less than $3 nor more than $6 per day of ten hours actual field work each, in case if a per diem compen sation iB established. Except in extreme cases no claim for mileage or traveling expenses will be allow ed to any enumerator, and then only when authority has been prev iously granted by the superintend ent of census. Any enumerator, who after subscribing to the oath shall, without justifiable cause, neg" ! lect or refuse to perform the duties, ior communicate without authority, the information obtained by him to any other persons not authorized to receive the same, is liable to a line of SSOO. Knowingly making ficti tious returns is punishable by a fine of $5,000 and two years' imprison ment. TWO CENTS A MONTH. That Was the Net Earning or a Scran ton Coal Miner. A dispatch from Scran ton says: Lack of work in the coal mines of this section for several months has resulted iu much destitution among the miners of the Lackawanna valley. All that one Delaware, LacKawanna and Western miner earned last month, after the price of his family's coal had been deducted, was two cents, which ho drew last week. A number of others received less than $1 over and above the price of the coal which the company had furn ished them during the month. Hundreds of miners earned less than $8 in February, and the outlook is not bright. The Scranton Poor Board has been giving outdoor re lief to four times as many poor people as it formerly did, and the citizens have organized a relief com mittee, with one member in each of the twenty-one wards. A thorough canvass of needy persons is being made in each ward, and they will all be supplied with the necessaries of life as soon as possible. Sunday a large store was opened on Washing ton avenue for the receipt of con tributions of food and as a head quarters for its distribution among the poor. A flour fund was started a few days ago, and in two days nearly 200 barrels of flour were dis tributed. Members of the relief committee say that so far they have found those families who are the most in need of immediate help are the last to make their wants known. Owing to tne light coal traffic the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company suspended 100 trainmen here last week. Several conductors went back to their old occupation of breaking, and a num ber of engineers to firing. The company's payments of February wages will l>e SIOO,OOO less than it paid out last month, and the indi cations are thnt the total payments next month will be even smaller. grand FURNITURE DISPLAY.
