THE REPUBLICAN^ FHIDAY, APRIL 28. 1893. Attend the trout supper. Sunday was a cool day. The grass is getting green. Monday is the first day of May. Thunder showers are numerous. Clean your yards and make home pleasant. Sidewalks along our streets are in bad repair. Hon. M. J. Lull spent Sunday with his family in Bernioe. F. W. Gallagher will give a free dance this Thursday evening. District Attorney A. L. Grim is visiting friends in Philadelphia. While angling for trout don't for get to throw back the little ones. The Hughcsville Fair will be held on September 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th. The Laporte graded school will continue iu session until the last of May. The Prohibitionists will hold their state convention in Harrisburg, on June 7th. Why would'nt a barrel and cask manufacturing establishment pay at Laporte ? Attorney J. G. Scouten, of Du shore, was calling on friends at the county seat Sunday. Hail, rain, thunder, lightning and snow is striking this section. How is it with you ? r Mr. aud Mrs. John L. Farrcll, ot Dushore, were visiting friends at Laporte Sunday and Monday. A half dozen or more wild ducks ■were killed on Lake Makoma on Thursday aud Friday of last week. Rev. W. A. Lepley held services in the M. E. church on Sunday, and was listened to by a large audi ence, We have lots ot people in our town who, if they were given lota of rope, could talk a locomotivo to death. The W. C. T. A. social will meet at Mrs. M. C. Lauer's Friday even ing April 28th. All are cordially in vited. The prospects are—a number of people will erect houses here, and at Lake Makoma the coming summer and fall. Mrs. Marston and her two who have been visiting friends in Philadelphia, returned home on Saturdaj' evening. People who talk about their neigh bors are a disgrace to a commuu ity, and are short lived so far as society is concerned. The account of two prisoners escap ing from Sing Sing, published else where in our columns, will be inter esting to our readers. Mr. and Mrs Jos. Fiester and Mr. Fiester's mother, of Laporte town- Bhip, were visiting friends in Dau phin county last week. Men were engaged at work on the W. & N. B. trestling at Nord mont on Sunday. This looks as if they mean to push the work. Our nimrods are spending a good part at their time angling in Lake Makoma. Reports say they liavn't met with very good success. A dog was scalded by a Waverly woman, which caused a great big row. A woman or a man who will scald a brute of any kind is simply nobody. Mrs. Dr. Hill accompanied by her two children, of Laporte, are visiting friends in New York city. Mrs. Hill expects to be absent a couple of weeks. The employes of the Jackson & Wooden car shops of Berwick, have struck for higher wages. Of course the Democratic administration is the cause of it. The officials of the Dushore Driv ing Park have decided to hold an agricultural fair and horse racing this fall. VV e predict the attendance will be large. Lancaster is to have a pearl button factory that will give employment to two or three hundred persons. La porte could accommodate Just such an industry as this. With a barrel of sugar, another of chlorate of potash and a little sulphuric acid a Boston Yankee proposes to drive a 5,000 ton ship across the ocean in three days. The REPUBLICAN office turned out job work for Dushore parties on Friday and Saturday. For a first class job the people of the county no where to address their orders. Hotel Kennedy will give a trout supper and dunce on Monday even ing of next week. An excellent time is anticipated. A general invi tation is extended. Bill only $1.21« The school directors will meet iu convention at the courthouse on Tuesday next, for the purpose of electing a county superintendent. A large attendance of directors is anticipated. We were doing farm work on a couple of our lots on West Main street one day last week, and un fortunately got our thumb pinched between two rocks; as a matter of course we quit. Joseph Carpenter's hotel at Baum town, above Elk Grove, was de stroyed by fire on Wednesday. We have not learned any reliable par ticulars as to the cause of the fire.— Benton Argus. Some of our women people com plain that some more of our women folks are waggling their tongue too much, and the former say the latter will get themselves into trouble if they don't call a halt. Several horsos and wagons owned by an Italian living in the John Mc* Gee house, on Cherry Flats, were levied upon by the sheriff and will be sold on this Friday. The horses are extra good ones. The fact that non-subscribers seem to be as familiar with the contents of the REPUBLICAN as subscribers are, leads us to believe that every body iu town and vicinity reads it, even if they have to borrow it. A Detroit paper says that the only thing closed in Chicago on Sunday will be the World's Fair. Theatres, shows, circuses, dancing pavilions, saloons and places of business generally will be open. John Fries, who rolls leather at the Laporte tannery, unfortunately got iiis thumb smashed under one of the rollers Friday night. John says it pains him fearfully, and thinks it will take several weeks for it to heal. If the people of Dushore and vicinity give the Sullivan Driving Park and Fair Association the sup port it is entitled to the stock will be at a premium and pay a hand some dividend in two years. -Gazette- The World's Fair will open prompt ly on May 1, and, notwithstanding manj' reports to the contrary, every thing except, possiblj', a tew minor details, will be completed and in readiness for inspection by the pub lic. Woddrop & Welch, of nughes ville, and managers of the Eagles Mere railroad, moved their office to Soncstown on Friday of last week. Messrs Woddrop and Welch have hosts of friends in this section who welcome them in our midst, F. S. Smith, of Washington, received the contract of carrying the mail between Nordmont and Dushore. He was up the other day aud was anxious for F. M. Crossley to take it off his hands. Frank will take it providing there Is money enough in it. There are nearly 1,200 patients now being cared for at the Danville hospital for the insane where they have provision for only 800. Some 300 are obliged to sleep on beds made up on the floor. Is it any wonder that the authorities refuse to accept any more patients ? Maxwell's appointmf nts of fourth class postmasters for the first month in office numbers 876. He really didn't get to work until about ten days ago. His second month will show a great increase, for he is now making appointments at the rate of about one hundred per day. The weather don't seem to be run on any particular plan this spring. The department seems to be work ing oflf a lot of odd bits and remnants of winter between streaks of sun shine, and if the stock is not too large we may have at least a short summer. Z. T. Rice, of Newport, Pa., re ceived the contract of the Govern ment for carrying the mail between t'ris place and Forksvillc, and will take charge of the same on July Ist. It is rumored that he took the con tract for 1342 per annum. If this be so, we are quite certain that he will have no little trouble in finding a Sullivan county man to take it ofl[ his hands at the same figures. It is worth at least calculation SBSO per annum to carry this mail. The several commissions for tbe newly elected J. P.'s, have been re ceived by Prothouotary Walsh, and will be delivored to Justices when oath of office have been taken and bonds filed. "Well, Ralph do you have many playmates ?" "Naw ; don't have any." "What, no playmates at all?" "No; mamma won't let ine play with about half the boys, and the other boy's mammas won't let them play with me. Say would you re form, or just get a little tougher. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Donatell left for Raven Run Pa. on Tuesday, where Mr. Donatell his taken the contract of furnishing five hundred men to contractors engaged in ex cavating a reservoir. Mr. D. is n thorough business man and he and his esteemable wife have made hosts of friends during their stay at La porte. When Mr. Wanamaker was Post master General he ruled that the real estate lotteries could not use the mails to further their business. This ruling has been reversed by Postmaster General Bissell, and the town lot boomers in the West are happy. The Louisiana lottery swindle may yet hope for recognition under the Bissell ruling. We think the Grangers of Penn sylvania are making a mistake in petitioning the legislature not to increase the minimum school term. As has frequently been said, a man gets more in return for everj' cent he pays in school tax than for any other expenditure. A common school education is worth more to the possessor than the average Pennsylvania farm. Mrs. Mary 8. Sheppard will visit Laporte on May sth. 1893, aud will be pleased to meet the ladies of La porte that are in anyway inteiested in the cause of temperance, at the residence of Mrs. Win. A. Mason, on Saturday May 6th, at 2 o'clock p. m. All those that love the cause please come. She will also visit other places in the county. Fourteen woodcocks were served at Delmonico's, in New York re cently, and they wero very expensive. They cost the house a fraction over 32 dollars apiece. This was owing to the fact that the birds were out of season, and the law interfered and increased their price. All things considered, it is not only more economical, but more desir able to eat woodcocks in season. Even a millionare cannot get thirty two dollars' worth of solid satisfac tion out of a woodcock. Samuel Donachy, of Lewisburg, was arrested at Muncy Valley on Saturday for giving a boy, 16 years of age, whiskey from a bottle which he had in his pocket. The boy be came intoxicated and related all to his father—Mr. Albert Crague, who swore out a warrant for the arrest of Donachy. The case was heard be fore 'Squire Simmons, who bound him over to court. The prisoner could not find bail, hence was brought to the county seat by Constable Hopper and lodged in jail. Previous to liis arrest Donachy had been work ing on the driveway around Lewis Lake. Ilnrri*' Mir is Sale. NEW YORK, April 25 A special to the Times from Albany says : It may be stated with semi-officiaily positiveness that Governor Flower will save Carlyle W. Harris, the con victed wife murderer, from execu tion. It may also be stated with equal certainty that this informa tion has been not only conveyed to Mrs Harris but to Harris himself. That part of Wm. Meylert's store room not occupied by Mr. Cassell, the watch maker, is for rent. Apropos of the old locomotive John Bull, which is being conveyed to the World's Fair, George C. Lewis hands the Itecord a clipping from a local paper, the Republican, in 1832, describing a "new locomo tive engine called the American, William T. Joneß, inventor," though the city is not montioned. Its power was equal to sixteen horses, and was so simple "that a boy four years of age can manage it with little instruction." It was capable of "being propelled at the rate of forty miles an hour, much faster than otie would like to travel." It was to be forwarded to Baltimore in a few days for use on"the great railroad." Wilkes-liarrc Record. The Nlln Tax Hill. The Niles Tax Bill, which is now before the Legislature, is a measure of such importance that only an ex pert can fully explain its provisions and forcast its effect. This we shall 112 assume to do, but will content '6B with a short account of its mo. worthy provisions. The v with the consider- N.r v - •tion of real estate, which is, in this county at least, the most important subject of taxation. In this classi fication are included not only farms and houses and lots but such prop erty as mines, and the factories of manufacturing corporations. All these are taxed for local purposes. The next class includes all tang ible personal property, and this is taxable for local purposes, like real estate. This covers a very large field. All horses and cattle over 4 years old, all sheep and swine over 1 year old, all pleasure carriages, Imcks, etc., all merchandise kept for sale, all boats and pleasure crafts arc included in this class. Personalty to the amount of S3OO is exempted from taxation. Household furni ture in actual use, unsold products of the farm, mine or manufactory, and tools of trade are all exempted from tax, as aro horses and cattle under four years, and sheep and swine under one year. All moneys and credits, such as judgements, mortgages, notes, etc., are subject to a tax of four mills on the dollar for county purposes. All property of transportation and transmissiou companies are taxable for State purposes at the rate of two mills on tlio dollar. , The rolling stock is to pay a ratable proportion, depending upon the number of miles of road which the company has in the State. Banks and savings institutions may a tax of eight mills on the par value of their stock, and this will be in lieu of other taxation. It must be paid to the county before March 1, and if it is not the officials of the institution must make a re port of the stock upon which the accessors can levy an equivalent tax. Private backers and incorporated banks are required to pay 10 mills on each dollar of their gross earnings. Every citizen above the age of 21 years is subject to a poll tax of J51.25. Prothonotaries, Registers and Re corders, and Clerks of the Court are required to pay to the county 50 per cent, of all thoy receive above the sum of $2,000 after paying clerk hire, rent and other necessary office expenses. They are also authorized to collect for the use of the couuty 60 cents on each original writ, deed, mortgage, letters of administration, letters testamentary, and various other writings tiled in their offices, or issued by them. The property of the United States, of the State, count} - township, city or borough, is exempt from tax, and schools, charitable institutions, ceme teies and churches are also untaxed. The above aro the main provisions of the Nilcs bill. Their importance and effect, only n skilled student of the tax system can estimate. It is plain, however, that it would some what relieve real estate from the burden of which so many farmers complain. Personal property would pay more, and banks, mines and merchandise would also contribute more largely to the local tax fund. For these reasons, the bill is generally favored in agricultural counties. The Commission which had the framing of the bill in charge is composed of very able men, and they should solve the always puzzling tax problem, if it is capable of any just settlement. Most of the features of the bill are such as will commend themselves to the good sense of those who want equality of taxation. No one will claim that it is perfect, but unless the general opinion is wrong, it is a decided improvement upon the pres ent admittedly unequal system Reporter-Journal. i Sheriff Kale.
