Ritter transacted business at the railroad oilice at Hughes ville, Saturday. The Scran ton school board is making an effort to purchase all the unmined coal underlying the school buildings of that city to prevent mining under the build ings and thus safeguard the strnct ures by peing damaged from cave ins. The sapper held at the school house 011 Saturday evening was a complete success in every way. Nearly everbody in town showed their public spiritedness by patron izing the supper. The net proceeds were S'JS. Whether Teddy goes lion hunt ing or not makes no difference, lie will lind the lion in his lair, and he found the liars in their lies in tins country, and because lie found J some bigger ones than Ananias was j incorporated for, has made some i people mad. But the ( uc.-> he skinned helped truth out mightily.) Mr. Martin Shoemaker of To wanda and Mrs. Emma Swank, of Sonestown, were united in mar riage at the home of the bride, by j Rev. Ilertz, pastor of the Evan-! gelical church at that place. The | bride was the widow of the late Ellis Swank, and is an estimable lady. The groom has been engag ed in blacksmith work at Jamison City. A double wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James I Boatman, near Sonestown, last | Thursday evening, when their j daughter Mis# Sadie, and Alfred | Burk, also their son Harry Boat-j man, and Miss Anna W orthington were united in marriage. These , young people are all popular in the j community where they live, and j with a host of friends the News Item extends congratulations. February was a decidedly mild j month, the weather being morei like April than February. Hut ■ the Rev. 11l Hicks, the weather i prophet, predicts a medley ol ! weather for inarch. Rain, sleet, j snow and blizzards are sure to fol- j low each other in a succession ol rounds, with an occasional thun- ; der shower, tornadoes and earth-' quakes thrown in as spice. The Laporte Borough Treasurer was last week paid the sum charg- ; ed bv the Boro council for the con-i tract of a cement sidewalk on the property formerly owned by A. .1. Bradley. It was only by the earn-1 est effort 011 the part of a few of the councilmen that this commend- j able piece of work was accomplish ed. A majority of our citizens op- j posed the project as they were ap-J prehensive that the taxpayers' would have to settle this cost. The ! walk was needed and needed bad ly, but some preferred to travel; through mud and water rather than pay for a walk neglected by the owner of the property. A close majority of the council viewed the situation differently and proceeded to follow the letter and spirit of the law providing a remedy for such public nuisances. Asa result the walk was laid by order of the council and it has been paid for without the cost of a lawsuit as many predicted. The council is now in position to enforce orders for sidewalks where walks are needed, and there are many walks in town that bear evi dences as to their needs. 111 the ! future, when property owners re j ceive notice to build a walk they I may rest assured what the result I of delay or indifference will mean. B. F. (Vossley of Dushore i« in Philadelphia-where lie is receiving 'treatment for serious eve trouble. The allegation that a constable of Tioga county had presented bills for ! lighting forest lires to both the coun ! ties of Tioga and Lycoming and had ; I been paid by both counties, because i jhe is said to have sworn he had | worked in both counties at the same ; time, will likely be thoroughly in-! vestigated by the state authorities. ! This constable claimed to have fought forest tires in the same day, but the commissioners of Tioga coun ty say that this feat would be im possible, The commissioners of tin two counties paid the bills under the impression that they were legal and that the constable had performed the work, and the commissioners are not to blame for the alleged graft. Jf the state authorities find that this collected money for forest tire lighting to which he was not entitl ed it is likely that he will be hauled over the coals auti that the coals will be hotter than those he is alleg ed to have found in the torests. Constables are not as a rule given to overworking themselves, but this Tioga county constable seems to have been in two distinct places at once, according to his own story, and his activity netted him a quite tidy sum of money. If how ever he shall have to disgorge some of his reward for übiquity' he will smile out of the other side of his mouth, An opinion was .handed down in Supreme Court yesterday, in which the acts on which a divorce can be granted on the grounds of cruel and barbarious treatment were defined as such as to render life burdensome and condition intolerable, amount ing to legal cruelty. The particular case in question was that of Thomas A. Piatt against Emma \V. Piatt, in which the Su perior Court sustained the verdict of the master, who refused to grant I'latt a divorce from his wife, I'latt began proceedings on the gjound of cruel and barbarous treatment, but the testimony showed that Mrs. Piatt > > ver offered her husband physical violence or made any elf'ort to carry out her threats made in >i*»gr<ir j A correspondent in writing from Forksville, says: on Monday of last week, quite early in the morning a boy, bareheaded and nearly breath less, came running along the street crying 'a bear! 'a bear!' men just ready to eat breakfast, SOUK- just out of bed, others still in bed, heard the cry donned their hunting garb and unloosed dogs from their kennles. Doctor, preacher, justice, barber, all shouldered guns and bravely march ed away All the town could see the I bruin on the hillside, children | Watched it from the street; women ! from porches; men were stationed : along the road and runways along the hillside while others went far- j ther up the mountain to start old bruin along who unconscious of danger, was standing still when they I came in sight of him. One tired a shot which ought to have brought bruin to the ground j but instead It proved to be an old , black stump which had stood the! storm for many u day. The hunters came back sadder but wiser men," ! Charles M. Ditifonbaugh died- on Saturday of brain fever, at the age! of 42 years. His head was injured | in a runaway accident about a year i ago, which with the brief sickness of only one week, caused his sudden ' and unexpected death. He leaves a j wife and two daughters. The funer-j was held from the family residence,: Tuesday, being conducted under the ! auspices of the I. O. <>. F. of which lie was a member. Judge Anderson, of Chicago, by declaring that the Standard Oil j company cannot be fined more than ! seven hundred and fifty thousad dol-1 lars instead of twenty-nine millions i j imposed on the company by Judge j Landis, is a balm to the wounds of j the Standard monopoly.
