THE REPUBLICAN. W. H. CHENEY, - - .Editor. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 29. 1K95 t'loMcil ily the Leiillirr Trust. The United States Leather com pany, which was formed In May, '93 by the consolidation of the large leather firms in New York City, whoso tanneries are in Pennsylvania and other states, ordered most of its 100 tanneries sometime ago to shut down for two months, or until such time as there is a improvement in the market. According to a statement made by President Mark Hoit, of the company, t here has been any business for the past few months and the ordering of some of the tan neries closed was nothing more than other companies outside the trust are doing. ° ! In this vicinity the United States Leather company controles the tan neries at Salladasburg, Proctor, Ral ston, Hoytville, Laporte, Muncy Valley, Hillsgrove and Jamison, all of which arc now in idleness. The big tanneries at Newberry and Lock Haven, owned respectively by Mess rs. Mosscr <fc Co. and Kistler and Co arc still running with the usual com pletement. These with several other big concerns at Allentown, refused to join the leather trust, A gentleman connected with a representative New York house, is quoted as saying: "It is hard, to bo sure, on the many employes thrown out of work, but in the condition of the business it was inevitable. The general de pression of 1893 produced an effect even in the hide business, although this is one line of business that can not be afl'ected immediately, since the rising of cattle takes time and they are slaughtered for the beef, the hides being really a by-product. But other causes had been operating to curtail the supply. Prices were low all over the world "It became apparent after a time that there would in all probability be a scarcity of hides, and lust year the United States Leather company and all the other tanners began to get in hides from all over the world, with the result that the prices for thein were bid so high that pretty noon the tanners found they could not, turn thein into leather and mar ket them at a satisfactory profit They bepan to look around for a way to right things and themselves, and the big consolidate 1 company, which controls the greater number of the tanneries, concluded to take the most obvious method and stop the outpour of leather for a time. "The existence of the United States Leather company came out of a similar shutting down of a great number of tanneries by agreement several years ago, and during that time the other tanners reaped the beneHt of the market in which, for the time, they were the only sellers. But the combined tanners came out of it so well in the end that the con solidated company was formed, and it is taking the chances now. The independent tanners, while tlieii stock lasts, will make some money, I suppose." A Consumption Cure. New York, Nov. 24.—A physician said to-day that the new remedy for consumption discovered by a New York medical man, and said by a member of prominent doctors to be nn absolute core for the disease, was asepsin. "It is," said he, "an acid, extremely poisonous in its un modified form, but as now prepared for use in germ maladies entirely harmless. I will not say that Dr. Cyrus Edson is its discoverer, but the remedy is at present prepared only in his laboratory and under his immediate supervision. It is, I know, free to any reputable physi cian who may desire to test it." "As to its value, I know to a cer tainty that it is beneficial in the highest degree and, aside from its application in consumption, it i« perhaps as important, as a destruc tive agent in severe nia'ana trouble, having as it undoubtedly has, so rapid an effect upon malaria bacilli, it will Itfßt show its value in places bk< Panama, where the nnacclimated soon succumb to the miasmatic in fluences." The first trial of Prof, Maragliano'* consumption serum in this city, which is lieing conducted in such a quiet manner at the Italian Hospital promises to attract much attention , not only in medical circles, but ' among all classes of people. "The least said in enthusiasm about this serum jn-t now," said Mr Paul Gibier. at the Pasteur In«tiluti to-iiig!it. "Ilie better, perhaps. It is not right to raise hopes that max prove false. The remedy is oolv in its experimental stage and while it lias been shown to be beneficial in certain cases not enough is ytu . known about it that we may declare H ft truth and a fact " 1 Mnowboiind. Chicago, Nov. 25.—"A boaty , snowstorm visited Chicago during the early hours of tl.e morning, leav ing a thick mantle of the 'beautiful' for the street trade to contend with, and the upper bawl had barely been achieved about the middle of the ® afternoon when another fall began. It still continues at a late hour to ' night, with every promise of a more 1 severe storm than that of yesterday. All the street car lines of the city were caught napping by this morn -1 ing's downfall, and as a result most ' of Chicago's population walked to ' its place cf business to-day and the railway companies did not pretend to get into their usual trim till after ' midday. Owing to the City Treas ury being depleted the Street Clean ing Department was unable to come to the rescue of pedestrains, who were compelled to waid ankle deep the day through, first in snow and later in the slushiest slush. " Who said Sullivan county is the coldest place in the world ? The organization of a debating society at this place, which was an object of mention in our last issue, was properly attended to, and the subject for discusion Friday evening will be, "are corporations a benefit or a detriment to our country." The Ilarrisburg Patriot had con siderable to say with reference to Farmer Kulp "In Congress," Tues day. It speaks of him as attempting i to vote with the '9l gathering and that he is rightly named etc. The Farmer always was enthusiastic to do for his county. EAGLES MERE ITEMS. A cow belonging to G. It.

' Nudtlen Death ot a Vonng Woman at Tivoli on Matnrilajr. On Saturday evening Inst Edith M. Geiger, wife of Thomas Geiger, of Tivoli, was found dead, lying on her face in the front yard of their residence in the village of Tivoli. The dentli was so sudden and unex pected that foul play was at once suspected, and George B. Smith, the justice of the peace, was called upon to hold an inquest. Sunday morning a jury, consisting of Geo. W. Montgomery, Chas. Lloyd, G. B. Geiger and O. W. Doan, was impan eled and a post mortem examination held by Dr. H. M. Fssiok. There were no external marks of violence, and the postmortem revealed that death was caused by a violent hem morrhage of the lungs. The evidence produced at the in quest showed that Francis Geiger the husband, right after the evening meal, went to a neighbor farm house on an errand and remained awnv for an hour and a lmlf. His wife had previously been complaining slightly but neither he nor she were at all allarmed nt her condition of health. He was therefore so greatly surprised and shocked when upon his return he found his wife lying dead in front of his threshold, that, no other ex planation than violence offered itself to him, and an alarm was at once raised, and the justice of the peace called upon to make an investigation. The jury rendered a verdict of natu ral death, in accordance with the facts produced on the hearing. T \KE NOTICE.— My husband, M M.
