The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science baa been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
catarrh, llall's catarrh cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation oi
the disease, and giving tho patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it faiis
to cure. Bend for list of testimonials.

Coxt of Street Light.
A recent proposition from the Panther
Valley Electric Light Company to Lans
ford council, to light the town with 2,000
candle power arc lights at SIOO per
lamp per year, brought on a discussion
as to whether the price asked was ex
horbitant or not. The liecord, byway
of comparison, has obtained figures from
neighboring towns, and as the same
subject lias been debated in our town,
we republish the tigures as given in ou
Lansford contemporary:
Minersvllle—B2s per light per year for
32 candle-power incandescent lights.
Slatington—forty-five arc lights at
800 per year, but the borough supplies
the carbons and attends to the lamps,
Hazleton—B9o per year per light for
100 arc lamps.
Freeland—Fifteen arc lights at 8100
each.
Maueh Chunk pays 890 each for 30 arc
lamps of 45 volts.
Tamaqua pays $75 each for 80 lights
of 1200 candle-power.
Montrose pays 885 for 2000 candle
power lights that do not run moonlight
nights, and other nights only until 1
o'clock.
Ashland pays slls for 2000 candle
power arc lights that burn all night and
every night.
Woman Fought a Burglar.
Mrs. E. C. Law, widow of Willara
Law, tho well-known coul operator, who
resides in a palatial home in West
Plttston, had a hard struggle with a
burglar Thursday night, and despite the
fact that she is over 70 years of age,
showed herself to bo a woman of re
markable courago. Tho only person in
house at the time were Mrs. Law and
her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Alexander
Law, of Mt. Carmel. After tho women
had retired they thought they heard a
noise in another room. Aged Mrs. Law
started to investigate. •She opened the
door of the pantry and found a masked
man there with his pockets loaded with I
silver.
Mrs. Law did not scream or faint, but I
proceeded to punish tho burglar with her
fists. The thief had a window raised
ready to make liis exit. In trying to got
out the window ho became entangled in
the lace curtains. Mrs. Law then be
labored him with a stick, and took tho
silver away from him. The thief by
this time recovered himself and jumped
out of the window.
Tho police were notified, but have not
yet succeeded in capturing the burglar.
The Anthfiiclte Coal Trade.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Activity In the anthracite trade is now
confined to the delivery department,
which is moving a great quantity of
coal. The sale agents are doing noth
ing. They have taken contracts for tho
entire output up to January and do not
care to make engagements beyond that
date. The trade is not disposed to buy
freely or make contracts aiiead. Busi
ness Is therefore in an easy condition
and will remain so for several weeks.
Yet the outlook cannot be called good.
Prices are as low as they wore during
the coal trade war of 189G, which is com
mentary enough on tho situation.
In ten months tho production has
been 32,700,000 tons, or about 700,000
tons less than in tho same period last
year. This moans probably 41,000,000
tons for tho year and the companies will
carry oVor into 1890 about 1,500,000, or
rather loss than they carried over in
1898. It is oasy to see that the trade
situation is entirely with the buyer.
Prices are low in evory market and a
cold winter is essential to an improve
ment.
A Very Satisfactory ltesult.
In the Pennsylvania legislature just
eloctod tho senate will stand as follows:
Republican, 38; Democrats, 12; a Demo
cratic gain of 12. The house of repre
sentatives will stand: Republicans, 120;
Democrats, 70; Independents, 2; a Demo
cratic gain of 38.
In addition to this tremendous Demo
cratic gain, tho party wrested seven
congressional districts from Its oppon
ents, some of which were overwhelm
ingly Republican in past years.
Tho plurality for governor 19 less than
one-half of what Hastings received, and
Stone is also several thousand behind
the combined vote of Jenks and Swallow.
Besides this, the Democratic tickets
were elected in a number of coun
ties which tho party has not carried in
many years.
On the whole, the Pennsylvania Demo
crats have evory reason to consider the
result quite satisfactory.
Saw Mill In Operation.
"Joshus Sluipkins," a story of farm
life, will bo seen at the Grand tomorrow
evening. It is said to abound in
novel features, wonderful mechanical
effects, excellent singing and dancing
and plenty of refined, wholesome fun,
and brings to light in tho third act a
real saw mill in full operation. Between
the acts a high-class orchestra rondors
some excellent music, and also aids in
the introduction of many pleasing sing

A SPEEDY TRICYCLE.
HENRY FOURNIER HAS SUCCEEDED IN
MAKING 45 MILES AN HOUR.
The Machine 1m Light, Easy to Manage and
Powerful, Hut the Speed Is Dangerous
and No One Else Cares to Try It—Future
Improvements.
Like the questk n of reducing to
three day the tim.; it takes to cross
the Atlantic, the increase of the bicy
cle's speed to a point where the rider
can travel as speedily and as safely as
on a railroad train, is one of the things
that seems bound to be attained. It is
as surely a coming achievement that
awaits us in the future as is the per
fecting of the machinery of the ocean
greyhound so that the present speed of
the marine flyers cin be doubled. In
the days when bicycles run at a speed
of forty-five miles ail hour a clear track
j will be absolutely necessary, so that
I with locomotive engine pace will have
I to come a special track for the wheel
men, a desirable improvement that will
be welcomed by all lovers of the wheel.
The attainment of the speed named by
the bicycle seems to be in the hands
of Henri Fournier, who has become
known as the king of automobillsts.
What Fournier does not know about
the petroleum tricycle may as well be
omitted from the wheelman's educa
tion.
At present he uses the petroleum tri
cycle of the Dion-Bouton kind, with a
1% horse power machine, averaging
forty kilometres an hour. The machine
is comparatively light, easy of manip
ulation and powerful. It is fitted with
a motor of from one to three horse
power, its hill climbing and speed ca
pabilities beiug gauged thereby.
HKNHY FOURNIEIt AND 1119 THICYLE.
Fournier is in deadly earnest in his
determination to attain a speed of for
ty-five miles an hour. To see him on
one of his test trips is a sight never to
be forgotten. He flies along with
bulging eyes fixed on the ground over
which he is flying, hair streaming in
the wind and the puffing motor work
ing at such a speed as to make one
tremble to think of the fate of the
rider should any untoward accident
cause a spill. He seems to know no fear
when going like the wind on these
risky trips. By constant practice he
has become an expert in the manipu
lation of the petroleum tricycle, and
will turn a curve while going at a
dizzy speed of forty-five miles an hour
with all the recklessness of a boy.
His performance suggests the grave
danger that would accompany trips
such as his on a road where similar
machines are dashing along. Fournier
alone on a level, smooth road, with no
one to kill but himself, and no machine
to smash but his own, is a sight suffi
ciently thrilling. Multiply the sight
by ten, and imagine that number of
Fourniers mounted on flying automatic
tricycles, and the spectator cannot help
think ng that this would make a novel
and sure method of committing suicide.
SuioLe Cloud*.
Smoking a pipe of medium size, says
a statistician, a man blows out of his
mouth ever; time he fills the bowl 700
smoke clouds. If he smokes four
pipes a day for twenty years, he blows
20,440,000 smoke clouds.
