Whnl ol the Future. It la evident to evory business man and property owner that for the past years, Lnporto hnß been on the stand still so far as tho erection of industries arc concerned. Previous to the completion of our railroad, it was repeato'Uv said that with tho rr.ilroad we will erect manufacturing enterprises and our town will boom. Instead of making our words good we have quietly folded our arms and seemingly lire waiting to see our town go down. It is apparent that one fact must stare every business man and proper ty owner in the face, that unless something is done, and that speedily, Laporte other than the county seat business, will dry up and those of us who seek day labor for employ ment will have togo elsewhere. Some one suggests that it takes money to build manufactures. The REPUBLICAN believes that the money can be raised if an effort is made. Why wouldn't this be a good plan for raising the money: Organize a business men's club or commercial league and have it chartered for the purpose of aiding manufactories instead of organizing for any spccifiic manufactory. Or ganize with a SLO,OOO capital stock to be paid in weekly installments of 50c on each §IOO share, of stock. This would produce an income of $250 a week. As soon as this sum reaches $2,500 let the club advertise that the)- have $2,500 to take stock in a turniturc factory with any prac tical man or company in that line, who will putin an equal amount of cash in such a factory in Laporte. We need not give it as a bonus, but let it be a business transaction, take stock in the name of tho club and for the benefit of the club to share in the dividens of the company. As soon as the fund again reaches $2,~ 500 let the organization advertise to take that amount of steck in a silk factory and so on in that way until the entire £50,000 was paid in. In four years we would have §IOO,OOO invested in manufacturing and the town dotted all over with paying small factories, to say nothing of the factories being induced to coiue here on account of other factories being here. The plan is a feasible one and can be put on foot if some one will take tho lead. What do the business men of Laporte say to making an effort. We lake the following from the Jamison City items, published in the Benton Argus, last week. It cor roborates a similar statement made iu the JJr.i'i m.ic YN on March Bth, "The extension of the B & S. 11. It. over the mountain to connect with the L. V. is now said to be an assured fact, ft is said the locomotives have been ordered and the work of giading and laying the truck will be commenced as soon as the ground is cleared of snow and frost. Our j busiuess men ure wearing a bro .d smile over the good news." W'e are informed however, that connections will be made at Thorne dale instead of Bernice. liumor has it tliat tlie Thornedale branch oftlie L.V. will also be exten ded to Laporteand down Mill Creek. This step will be taken for the pur pose of transporting the large quan tity of timber along the banks of the Loyal Sock, between this place anil Forksville. While Conrad Krans, the butcher, was on his way home, aud between llingdale and Hack Run, Monday night, March 18th, an animal was seen close behind his sleigh by a per son who passed him going in the opposite direction. The gentlujnan who saw the beast, said it resembled a panther, but owing to darkness could not say positively. Mr. Kraus thinks it was a wild oat, evi dently pursuing him for a feast of his bill of fare, consisting of beef, pork and fish. Conrad says he will make it convenient to reach home before night, in the future. I>r. Joliu In Trouble Again. Dr. John Corr, the essentric herb doctor, well known in Towanda and surrounding country is again in trouble. He was arrested Tuesday afternoon by officer Ilollon, on a warrant sworn out by a postoffice inspector, charging him with sending obscene matter through the mails. The offense on which the charge is brought is that postal cards have been sent by Corr to several busi ness men of Towanrtn, containing obscene matter. He has already served two terms in the penitentiary for similar offenses, lie was taken before U. S. Commissioner Mix, who held him for a hearing on Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock, —Towanda Rep.

Harbisbukg, March 21.—Mr. Fow presented by request in the House this morning an act providing for tho erection and organization of new counties out of two adjoining counties. It authorizes the erection of now counties out of two or more adjoining couuties which have more than the constitutional requirement of 400 square miles, upon consent of the majority of the qualilied electors of the proposed new county district voting at the election to be called for the purpose, 13ut first all persons desiring the erection of the new county must file with the Secretary of Internal Af fairs an application reciting all the facts in the case; descriptions of boundary lines, distances usually traveled by wagons and railroad; the name of the new county; the name of tho new municipalities, and all facts In connection therewith, which shall be verified by the oath of not less thau twelve qualified voters in the new county district. This shall then be submitted to the Governor, three disinterested commissioners shall be appointed, and after their report has been received by the Governor he shall issue a proclama tion ordering an election. The bill further provides in detail for the ex penses and organization of the new county. The object of the bill is to facili tate the division of the counties of Wyoming, Lackawanna and Wayne and the formation of a new count}' therefrom, with Carboiulale as the county scat. The new count}' is to be called either Meredity, after the first Treasurer of the United States, who is buried in an unknown grave in Wayne county, cr after Robert Morris, the signer of the Declaration of Independence, or Anthracite.— Ex. TJ|<* Flgti urc Dying. The deadly mine water from the Jeddo tunnel, which has been empt ing into the little Neseopeek creek in Luzerne county for the past two weeks has played havoc with the fish, atul they are dying by the hun dreds. The banks along tho creeks beyond Conynghatn are Utterly strewn with them, and tho farmers are kept busy carting them away. The sight seems to have a certain fascination for curiosity seekersjudg ing from the many people that are j seen along the banks of the stream. —Shickshinny Democrat.
