BRIEF MENTION.
Carbon county has organized a
Stnto Snbbnth School Association.
Tbero now remains but one county
unorganized, Crawford.
The Charter for tho Milford
Electric Light nnd Powor Company
was granted Feb. 15, and the matter
is now in shape for active operatione
to begin.
Tho Valentine Supper in. the M.
E. Church whs well attended and a
very pleasant evening passed. The
receipts odded a material sum to
the treasury.
Tho voters of tho Borough are
evidontly satisfied with the conduct
of its affairs, and as they pay for
the fiddling, no doubt, will cheer
fully dance to the music. All is well
that ends well.
We acknowledge the receipt of
an invitation from the Stato League
of Republican Clubs to bo present
at a banquet given in honor of U. S.
Senator-elect, Hon. Bois Penrose on
Friday evening, Fob. 26th at the
Hotel Walton, Philadelphia.
In Eplntlon of th Statement.
In tho Cr. account of Jacob B,
Westbrook, treasurer, the amount
of $104 paid George Sawyer should
be deducted from the county checks
119,541.04.
Tho statement then would
stand 19 541 05
Deduct 104 104 00
19 437 05
The current expense is 19 436 95
Difference .10
This is explained by the fact that
t wo small chocks of .05 each were
paid by the treasurer, but for which
he gave himsolf no credit.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The
Inauguration Preparations
Are Being Pushed to
Completion.
Appropriations lncrrs ly the Senate
The Tax on C'liraretts Asked to lie
MBde I'roblhltlve A New
York Custom House.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Feb. 15th. Inaugu
ration echoes nro now licnrd
wherever one turns in Washington.
Work upon tho street stands from
which n portion of tho spectators
will view the parade, which promi
ses to lie the handsomest, if not the
largest, ever seen, has been started,
and the inauguration committee has
begun the distribution of fifty
thousand paper flags and fifteen
thousand portraits of Mcliinley and
Unhurt, to bo used by tho residents
along the route of the parade to as
si.st in decorating their houses.
These are given away by the Com
mittee. So general is tho sentiment
in favor of hnving the West Point
and Annapolis Cadets take part in
the parodo that it seems probable
tho joint resolution, offered in the
Senate by Mr. Fryo, nnd in the
House of Represcntntives by Mr.
Baker, of New Hampshire, request
ing tho President to order the
cadets and their bands to Washing
ton and appropriating tho money to
pay their expenses, will go through.
It is known that Mr. Cleveland
favors having the cadets in the
parade and that ho will gladly issue
the order if Congress will adopt the
resolution.
Tho Democrats are already bo
ginning their howl about the total
amount of the appropriations that
will bo made by the . fif ty-fonrth
Congress. It is true that the total
of tho appropriations for the two
years will exceed $1,000,000,000, but
the Democrats would show more
wisdom if they would point out a
single appropriation made, or to bo
made in tho short time remaining of
th'sossion, that is not needed, or
that the government will not get
full value for, instead of yelling
"extravagont appropriations" like
a lot of parrots. Tho Senate is not
a Republican body would that it
were yet it has not only approved
all of the appropriations mado by
tho House, but has in nearly every
bill increased them. Besides, it
should not be forgotten that a con
siderable amount of the monoy ap
propriated by this Congress was
made necessary by continuing con
tracts made by the last Democratic
Congress for River nnd Harbor im
provements, public buildings nnd
the increase of tho Navy. Chair
man Cannon, of the House Commit
tee on Appropriations, correctly
stated the situation when be said
that contracts previously made had
to be observed j that Congress could
not allow unfinished public buildings
to remain exposed In all kinds of
weather, and that tho pension laws
could not be ignored. In short.that
no appropriations have been made
that were not necessary for the con
duct of the government and tho pre
servation of its interests. Mr. Can
non's idea, of economy in public ex
penditures are so rigid that he has
offended many personal friends by
refusing to sanction propositions for
oppropriations which have come
before his committee. There is no
item in any appropriation made by
tho fifty-fourth Congress that any
Republican need lie ashamed of ; tho
appropriations are all needed and
the money is all to be spent among
the people and for tho people.
It is about Bottled that the arbi
tration treaty will not be voted upon
at this session, but will go over to
the extra session of the Senate, that
will meet March 4th, and remain in
session until tho extra session of the
full Congress meets. This has
been made necessary by the oppo
sition to the treaty in the Senate.
Representative Wotxlmun, of Illi
nois has asked the House Ways and
Means Committee to increase the re
venue tax on cigarettes from 50
cents to $50 a thousand. Mr. Wood
mun's object is to stop the smoking
of ciguretts by children, which he
says is "a habit which is destroying
our youth, rilling our insane asylums
and shrouding in gloom, by the do
struction, mentally, morally and
physically of their young sons,
many of the bet homes of our
land." Mr. Woodman said in his
sjieech to the Committee : "As long
as boys tan buy the death-dealing
article uU(xmt a piece or two for a
cent, so long will the evil continue.
When they are taxed so as to pro
duce a larger revenue, which tux
will jiluco them out of tho reach of
school children, then Mr. Chairman,
we may look for ft mitigation nf the
evil. Then may we look for a pro
tection that protects. Then may we
congratulate ourselves on having
IH-rformcd one not tho results of
which tho whole nation, with one
accord, will approve."
Representative White, of Chicago
made quito u stir nt tho last meeting
of the House Cnmmitte i on pnblie
buildings and grounds by charging
that the insertion of the name of
Ex Mayor Grant of New York, a
son-in-law of Senator Murphy, as
one of the five Commissioners pro
vided fur in the bill for the new
New York Custom-House, and of
one of tho other Commissioners, was
the result, of a deal. The Commis
sioners ore to get $5,000 a year and
no limit is set to the time they are
to take for the stile of the present
Custom House and tho erection of
the proposed now ono. Tho hill is
now before the Committee on ac
count of amendments added by the
Senate, one of which is Mr. Grant's
name, Mr. White wants to strike
out the Commission entirely.

Thursday however sho was attacked
with a sinking sjtell and despito nil
efforts of her physicians to rally her
she expired, in tho presence of her
husband and son Norman. Tho re
mains were at once brought to
Stroudsburg for interment.

Alarm of Fire.
Last Sunday about noon the cry
of fire resounded in the streets, and
the firemen promptly rushed for
their carts. It was found however
that there was no serious trouble.
The water in the boiler of the school
building on Catharine street bad
been allowed to get too low aud it
was converted into steam. The
steam pipes became overheated and
the packing in which they are
wrappud caught fire causing much
smoke, but no flame. The hand
some at d commodious structure was
not at till injured and the scholars
are still privileged to climb tho edu
cational stairs in that toinplo of
learning.

Ho wooed a maid a little frail,
The justice sternly said, give bail.
He could not, and that ends the tale.
Thanks, Mr. Hart.
Hon. J. J. Hart has our thanks for
a package of seeds. We are great
on corn, sound on " pumpkin pie,"
dutch enough for cabbage, suffici
ently green for lettuce, and thor
oughly Democratic when it comes to
onions. Hence the donation har
monizes beautifully with our tnuto.
Now if Congress would only provide
us a man with a hoe we might have
a lot of vegetables for next winter '4
use.
