On) rentiers arc all knowing of the fact that thoro has been a cure pond - ing iu our courts fur the past two jears wherein E. J- Guvnor, Son & Co, are the plaintiffs and the officials of the W. &N.H. K. It. Co, the de fendants. The litigation is thus, iu brief; Gay nor, Sou & Co., who did the grading of said road claim that there is a balance of several thousand dollars due them, while the officials ol the road claim that tliey have paid and over paid said contractors tor work done. This case was to have been heard at our Dec. term of court but because ot sickness of one oi the att.ornies con cerned, it was postponed. The oQlcials of the railroad are fearful that they can not get a fair and an impartial verdict in Sullivan county, because of the large number of creditors of Gay nor, Son & Co., who might fed that a verdict in favor of the plaintiff would effect a settlement with many of Gaynor's creditors in our county, hence the Hail road Co. have asked that the e.ue be tried in some adjoining coun ty aud to this end about twenty witnesses were called on Monday to | testify whether, in their opinion a fair and an impartial verdict could be had in Sullivan county. The evidence was divided. Some thought that such a verdict could bo reached here, while others thought it would be difficult to secure a jury without including some who might be preju dice and extend their sympathies without thought in favor of the plaintiffs. The attornies in the case are: Harry Parsons, of Williamsport, for Gaynor, Son k Co. and T. J. and F. LI. Ingham for the officials of the r.iilroael. Judge Peek of Towandu, held special court in Laporte, Wednes day and looked over the evidence in the above case, and wil! file his opinion with reference to the writ oi venue, later. s'Sie Aiisoms' :>*»<-U bj the (sos ot itis* SiiU*-, The re-tun, -to the department oi internal affairs sh >-v the total indeb tedness of the counties of Pennsyl vania to be 5G2.G91,2;i'!.01 Phila delphia'* debt is *53,910,333.93 and that of Alleghoncy county i £3,659- or.;} 7; Tii counties reporting no debt nrc Bradford, Blocks, Hutlcr, C< ntiv, Clarion, Cumberland, Erie, Franklin, Greene, Lackawanna, Lawrence, Lehigh, MeKean, North nipt on, Somerset, Susquehanna, Venango, Washington and Wyom ing.

Deceased had only been ill a week or teu days previous to his death and the announcement of his death was a surprise and a shocic to his many friends. His ail ment was a complication of diseases of the stomach followed by hiccoughs, Dan, as he was ordinarily called by friends, was prominent in Sullivan county politics. lie was a close observer in this direction auel a political suggestion by Dan was always considered good. He was a iirrn and conscientious believer of democracy and gave hib efforts in behalf of the democratic platform; notwithstanding his kind regards for the party of his choice, however he dealt fairly and honorably with the opposite, thereby adding recruits of friends to his long list. Air. Scanlin served as County Commissioner of Sullivan county from 1890 to 1893, and is spoken of as being one of the very best Commissioners that ever occupied that position in Sullivan county. During his younger days he work ed in the Barclay mines, aud being prudent iu all things accumulated some cash; this he invested in a farm near Dushoie some twenty years ago, where he with his kind and de voted family have resided ever since. Deceased was a firm believer of the Catholic church, a kind husband, father and friend. A wife anel oleven children survive him. The funeral services were held in the St. Basil's church at Dushore, on Sunday, Fr Mac of Dushore preached the ser mon aud rehearsed the kind and charitable life of our friend iu beauti ful and eloquent language. The remains were laid to rest in the St. Basil's cemetery amid heart render ing scens. The wife and children, ■small and large, sobed alowed anel called for their father.

Hazleton women arc kicking themselves because tliey allowed themselves to be swindled by a cor set agent. He claimed to be an advertising agent for the Princess corset. He was well dressed, and being a fluent talker, soon gained the attention of every lady whom he came in contact with. Ilis mode of oporation was to exhibit a line corset, such as are sold in most stores for $1.2 5, This he claimed to bo able to furnish for the small sum of 12 cents. But in no case would he deliver a corset; ho would take the address ol each lady and her 12 cts, agreeing to forward the corset iu a few duys. Of course the corsets never caiue, and it is found that he collected about #IOO, Served them right.
