AND GLANCES AT THE TIMES. —The stave factory is now run ning on full time with a daily capac ity of 30,000 staves, and doing excellent work. —Owing to the severe storm, the teachers' local institute that was to be held at Sonestown, last Saturday, was postponed to Satur day, March Bth. A dynamo was placed in the La porte tannery this week, with a capacity of one hundred lights which will be distributed about the tan nery and office, and also in Supt. Flynn's residence. —Joseph Gansel, who has been employed at the Hillsgrove tannery for the past few months, was taken to Dushore last week to be treated for anthrax. He has been in a very critical condition for several days past, but is now showing favorable condition to improvement. —A lament comes from France that America is outstripping that country of silk manufacturers. The reasons the French give for the American supremacy, is larger capi tal, superior machinery and more modern methods, coupled with a better governmental relation to labor. —Max Frankel has resigned his position as first assistant in the city meat market at this place. It is quietly rumored that it was his dis regard for the scales especially when waiting on ladies that necessitated this move or the retirement from business for the city market. We don't believe it. —The February term of Court of Qn.irt r Sessions now in progress is small in attendance and routine in nature. On Monday the various constables made their sworn returns and the newly elected constables were sworn into office. Arguments were heard in the license applica tions of Patrick Finan, J 1) Cooper, .1 P Gorgg of Lopez; Jas. M. Camp bell, of Forksville; Win. Moran of Muncy Valley; all of which were refused except the Forksville Hi tel. Several of the larger cases were ad journed until next May term. The case of Win. Bobbins vs. Howard Lyons, was called and tried Tuesday. The Jury found for the plaintiff in the sum of §90.00. The Grand Jurors were discharged on Tuesday. —The Eagles Mere Electric Light Company are preparing to raise the | water in Hunter's Lake, which fur nishes the power for their lights, to increase the capacity of their power* The supply of water last summer proved abundant for the demand of lights at Eagles Mere, and the com pany is now convinced that they can supply electricity for all the sur rounding towns as far distant as Hughesville. This will give the county seat with the county build ings, three hotels, five stores, four churches a printing office and prob ably a dozen dwellings to light and also furnish power. The several windmills anil engines in town could profitably be dispensed with. Un der ground wires could easily be maintained and but little additional cost made in supplying the extra power. It is now up to Laporte to investigate and learn what can be done with the Eagles Mere Light Company along these lines. Secretary Long, in a Lincoln day speech at Boston, has given a sane utterance in regard to the Philipp ines, and one that should appeal to all thinking Americans. He says "tre question is not one of a day, but of a whole generation; and that when the ability of the Filipinos to administer self-government is assur ed, they alone shoulil decide whether they will walk alone and independ ent, or hand in hand with us as Canada walks with England. Jack Quinn Meets a Frightful Death. Jack Quinn, a young man, who worked at Lopez, was fatally burn eel at one of the hotels at that place last Friday night. He with several other men were sleeping in a room 1 that was heated with an oil stove which set fire to Mr. Quinn's clothes and before it could be extinguished he was so badly burned that he liv ed but a few hours after. The theory advanced by some is that the floor was used for sleeping quarters by Quinn and in his slumbers rolled against the stove when his clot! es became ignited. The fire was x tinguished before any damage of consequence was done to the hot. I. A Oreat Unow Storm.
