Talk of the Delaware TalUy Rallread
Again The Road May Be Itnn
Throngh Hew Jersey ttas a Hard
Time In Kast Strood.bnrg.
Some time ago the town council
of East Stroudsburg passed Rn or
dinance granting a right of way to
the Delaware Valley Eloctrio Rail
road. Subsequently this was
amended so as to be acceptable to
tne company, and so it passed. The
burgess now vetoes the amended or
dinanoe, and in this he is sustained
by the town council.
The Times has the following : Vr
H. Shull, who was made presi
dent of the Delaware Valley Rail
way at its re-organization, was
rather surprised at the new turn of
the affairs. He stated that he was
almost resolved to give up the idea
of ever trying to got a railway up
the valley. Council's action in bus.
taining the mayor after voting for
the amendments asked was very
peculiar and he was at a loss to un
derstand it. He stated that he had
enough money to build the road
and place the rolling stock.
The Hon. M. F. Coolbaugh, a di
rector and one of the men instru
mental in getting the right of way
through the Delaware Valley was
also greatly disappointed over the
turn the affairs had taken. He
stated that the right of way had been
secured front three and one-half
miles above Marshall's Creek clear
down to Reeder Posten's. He was
for turning around and leaving the
borough altogether and coming into
this town, something that could
easily be done.
Many of the business men of East
Stroudsburg expressed themselves
as being sorry that the propects of
the road were so dim, especially
those who are the creditors of the
railway.
In pursuance of the plan to leave
East Stroudsburg out, surveyors
have been placed on the line to sur
vey a route via the N. Y. S. & W.
tracks to Stroudsburg, and the re.
turn of Mr. Carrick, who was the
former engineer in charge of the D.
V. E. R. W. from Lima Ohio where
he now is awaited, when a survey
will be made from the Delaware
Water Oap to Bushkill. There is
something slightly peculiar, to say
the least, about the way the council
and burgess of East Stro udsburg
act in this matter.
The Stroudsburg Times says Di
rector Peters of the Delaware Valley
R. R. Co., has reoeived a letter from
a firm of New York railway oontrac
tors stating that they will build the
road to Bushkill as soon as the
weather gets warm. .
From Bushkill to Port Jervis a
new route will bo surveyed on the
New Jersey soil. The one in this
state has already been surveyed
The most feasible of the two routes
will be used.
A new charter will have to be pro
cured for the road, which will be ap
plied for.
Director Ed. Peters says that the
residents of New Jersey have offered
the oompany $7,000 with prospects
of 13,000 more, if they would build a
bridge across the river at Bushkill
aBd go into Port Jervis on New Jer
sey soil. According to Mr. Peters
it would be a much cheaper route as
the cost .of the bridge at Bushkill
would he muoh less than at Mata
moras. The right of the way has
also been promised.

"Dear Sir :-I have not. been ureinir

that by reason of removals, deaths
of the practicing physicians and
physical conditions which prevent
vaccination.many children might be
kept out of Bchool. The law is, of

Ths U of Acetyless Git.
Acetylene gas while not a novelty,
for its extraordinary illuminating
power has been long known, is yet
probably new to most people, an
the idea of using it on a large scale
is recent. It is made of coke and
lime, whioh materials are both
cheap and abundant. Under the
great heat of the eloctrio furnace
the substances combine chemically
and form what in known as calcium
carbide. This substance, placed in
water, no heat is used, decomposes,
and the elements recombine, form
ing acetylene gas and lime. The
coke, which is carbon, unites with
the hydrogen of the water and
leaves the lime originally mixed
with the coke free again. The light
from this gas is ten tunes more
brilliant than tluit from ordinal y
gas, one small burner using one
cubic foot of gas an hour, is amply
sufficient for a good sized room.
where two four-foot burners of gas
will not answer. It is likely to be
very cheap, and can used in the pip.
ing now in city houses, and can be
supplied to houses in the country
can be used for lighting cars and
streets, and colors can be seen as
accurately under this light as under
sunlight. These are a few of the
wonders of this new illuiuinaut.

IMPORTANT INSURANCE DECISION.
An Insnrer Brought Suit Against An
Agent of a Foreign Company.
Mr. Justice Dean of the Supreme
Omrt, handed down a decision Jan.
6th in an insurance case, which is
of great moment to insurance agents.
The case went up from Alleghany
county. An insurer suffered a loss
by fire, and, attempting to recover,
learned that the risk had been pi need
with a wild-cat Virginia com
pany which had never been licensed
to do business in this state. As he
could not reach the company he
brought suit against the agents or
brokers who had effected his insur
ance. The act of May 1 1876 makes
the agent of any insurance company
of any other state or goverment
which does not comply with the la ws
of this state personally liable on all
contracts of insurances made by or
through him, directly or indirectly,
for or in Ixihalf of any such com
pany8. At the trial in the lower
court the agent tried to avoid respon
sibility, by pleading that they wore
not the agents of the company, but
were acting for the projierty owner
who asked the insurance. Judge
McClung in his charge to the jury
held that an agent of an insurance
company could be so constituted
without a formal appointment, writ
ing risks for the company, and an
acceptance of them by it, was a rati
fication of his act, and to all intents
and purposes made him its agent.
The jury accepted this law and ren
dered a verdict agoinst. the agents
for the amount of loss on the policy.
The Supreme court affirms this doc
trine, and it is one which will tend
to make agents more careful about
writing policies in companies not li
censed to do business in this state.
It is a decision which goes far to
wards protecting the insured party,
and if the company is not liable, it
makes the agent responsible.

BRIEF MENTION. '
Lent bogins February Kith.
Thomas Clark, and a party of
seven other hunters on Saturday ...
January 11, killed a bear in Nebo
swamp, back (if Snyder-' in Lehman
township. The bear was shot near
her nest, and in examining it three
cubs were forind in it with thoii
eyes not yet open, showing them to
be of a very tender ago. The hunt
ers took the culis, and will try to
raise them. -There was no terrific
encounter with the dogs, hair
breadth escapes, hugging matches,
or other scenes of desolation or
grim affection. It was a simplo case
of shooting the mother liear, and
picking up her blind kittens.
We want to inform the Ixiys in
ample time so that, they may lw in
funds when the great event occurs,
and so that they may begin sweep
ing snow, and doing odd chores for
pennies. Barnum and Bailey's groat
circus will be in Port Jervis June 3
1896, and every boy will want to be
in it. "
The Merchants National Bank
of Newton, N. J., was organized in
February 1865, on tho thirteenth day
of the month, with thirteen direc
tors, and has been a very siiceo-uf nl
and prosperous corporation.
It is reported on what seems to
be excellent authority that our for
mer townsman and ex-Postmaster
Jas. 8. Drake, has again been ,nn
fortnate in the selection of a board-
ing house. A few wepks aso ho
temporarily sojourned in tho Scran

hotel of the same character.
While Arthur McCarty, Frank
Gehrig and John Palmer, three
small boys were up in Deep Hollow,
a mile or so from town on Wednes
day, they saw a largo catamount.
The brute made toward thorn, and
they all lost further curiosity in its
movements and came hastily away.
There can be no doubt from tho des
cription thoy give, and tho fact that
Mrs. Wcidor in going homo, when
near the same place was chased by o
large animal the preceding day.
A Cheap Paint.
A method of painting farm build
ings and country houses, whilo by
no means new, is yet so little known
and so deserving of wider applica
tion as to warrant a deseription.says
an exchange. The paint has but.
two parts, both cheap materials, be
ing water lime or hydraulic cement
and skimmilk. The cement is placod
In a bucket, and the skimmilk, sweet,
is gradually added, stirring con
stantly,' until just about the con
sistency of good cream. The stir
ring must be thoroughly done to
have an overflow.and if too thin the
mixture will run on tho building
and look streaked. The proportions
cannot be exactly stated, but a gal
lon of milk requires a full quart of
cement and sometimes a little more . -This
is a convenient quantity to
mix at a time for one person to use.
If too much is prepared, the cement
will settle and harden before all is
used.
A flat paint brush alxmt 3 inches
wide is the best implement to use
with this mixture. Lay it on ex
actly as with oil paint. It can lxi ap
plied to wood work, old or now, and
to brick or stone. When dry, the
color is a light creamy brown, or
what some would call a yellowish
stone color. This skimmilk cement
paint, well mixed, without adding
color, has a good body, gives Hmoot h
satisfactory finish on cither wotxl or
stone and wears admirably. Yon
can do this warm days in winter and
it will add 100 in appearance to
your buildings. Try it.
