the result.
Placing offensive or injurious sub
stances in streams, the water of
which is used by the public, is con
trary, not only to decency, but to
the law of the land, and the offen
der renders himself in so doing
liable to fine and imprisonment. A
sense of propriety should bo suffi
cient to deter any one from snch
acts, but, if not, then, drnstio meas
ures should be taken to correct the
evil habit.
It is a healthy sign for townships
when Constables have the courage
to make returns of lawful matters

Such officers should be commended
by the people, for it is their inter
ests which are being protected, and
theoffloer is simply performing his
worn duty in doing it.

A NEW RAILROAD.
It has just come to light that nn
Important meeting was held in
Scranton lately of tho directors of
the New York, Wyoming nnd Wes
tern Railroad, which proposes to
build a line from this city to New
York, thnt individual operators may
have their products carried to tido-
water at a reasonable rate.
The approximate capitalization of
the road will bo $10,000,000. The
repnir shops will be located mainly
in Scranton, though smaller shops
nnd ronndhcuses will be located nt
different points along tho lino.
This is tho road for which several
parties of surveyors have been dur
ing tho past summer locating in this
county It is rumored that tho
route finally adopted will cross this
county, and probably pass tl. rough
this town. Those who nre in posi
tion to know say that the building
of this new line is nn assured fact.
LADIES' AID SOCIETIES.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
Church of Milford organized heir
society for the coming winter at

Vice President, Mrs. Thos. Nichols ;

noons from 9 : 30 to 6 : 30- and that,
departing from the former custom,
no refreshments bo sorved. The
meetings will bo held nt the homes
of tho members, of which announce
ment will be duly made.

THE NEW YORK HOTEL,
at Lnckawnxon, Pa., was sold at
Sheriff's Sale last Friday to Mr.
Goo. A. Elston, of Port Jervis, N.
Y. Mr. Elston had julgmonts
against the property, mm to pro
tect these, occasioned tho purchase
As yet he is undecided as to what
he will do with the property, hut no
doubt if it can be disposed of soon
to oover his investment, he wil
sell it. The place is perfectly adap
ted for the purposss of a summer
and in fact all the year, boarding
business, and can be made one of
the best hotel stands on the line of
the Erie R. R. It is hoped that
some live man will soe his way
clear to buy it, and thus maintain
hotel for Lackawaxen of which the
inhabitants may be proud.
Wo call attention to the advertis
mcnt in another column of this
paper of the youngost yet one of th
most successful State Normal schools
in the State. It has hnd a phenom
innl growth since It opened lu the
full of '93,and took high rank and in
many respects was in advance
of
some of the older and more conger
vative schools. It was the first
school to establish the department
of Plain and Fancy Sewing. It
to-duy the only school that furnishes
Brusaela carpet . Its location East
Stroudsburg, Pa., is in the great
resort region of the eastern part of
the State. tf.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C, Oct.. 17, '98.
Chairman Babcock, of the Repub
lican Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, is getting good news these
dnys. Like Senator Hnnnn, he wns
awhile back afraid that over confi
dence would keep so many Repub
licans at homo thnt control of the
next house might be lost, but from
reports ho is now receiving the Re
publicans in all sections are becotn-
ng thoroughly alive to tho neces-
ty of getting out the full vote and
keeping control oJ-tte House, so
that when the Senate becomes Re
publican, as it will after the fourth
next Mnroh, both branches of
Congress will be in oondition to put
through the necessary legislntion to
enrry out the domestic policy ot the
dministrntion, which will continue
the prosperity thnt tho country is
now enjoying, ns well ns show tho
world thnt the countty is behind
President McKinley in carrying out
tho foreign policy made necessary
by the results of the war, just as it
was behind him in the conduct of
the most successful war in all his
tory. The oonntry knows just
what tho Republican party offers it,
both at homo nnd abroad, while no
body knows whnt the Democratic
party would give it, furthor than
thnt Democratic success would
nean a renewal of the uncertain,
ies which were so disastrous to our
commercial and industrial interests
luring the Inst Cleveland regime.
There hns never been any doubt
uring this campaign as to the feel
ing of the majority of the voters ;
only a fear thnt a feeling of over se
curity might result in too many re
publicans not taking sufficient inter
est to make sure of success in tho
Congressional campaign. Thanks
to hnrd and intelligent work on the
part of the party leaders, that fear
is daily being lessened, mid bids
fair to entirely disappear before
election day.
The Treasury Department , has
granted a request made by General
Franco Sanchez commander of the
Cuban insurgent army at Mayari,
Cuba, thot one hundred thousand
pounds of tobacco, captured by that
nrmy, be admitted to the U. S. free
of duty, in order thnt It may be sold
for the benefit of the men under
Gen. Sanchez, who are In need of
almost everything.
The commission engaged in inves
tigating the oonduct of the war,
which has started for Jacksonville,
Fla., where the work of hearing
witnesses in the camp will this
week be inaugurated, v. as preceded
y the ringing assertion of General
Dodge, Chairman of the Commis
sion, thnt the Commission would
see that every witness wns protec
ted who had anything to tell thnt
might arouse enmity on the part of
his superior officers. These words
of Gen. Dodge are all the answer
that is needed to the senseless
charge that witnesses have been
afraid to tell the commission what
they itnew. There hna been no
such fear on the pnrt of any witness
but there has been wide differences
in tho stories told to the commis
sion, and those published ns having
been told by the same witnesses to
yellow journals. A notable case of
this tort was that Of Dr. Senman
who arrived in New York from
Porto Rico lust week, and whose
alleged sensational statements to
yellow reporters caused him t3 be
summoned to Washington, by tele
graph, to testify before the Com
mission.
American furniture is getting
control of even such far away mar
kets ns South Africa. In a report
to the Department of State Consul
Gen. J. G. Stowe, at Cape Town
says the value of American furni
ture imported into South Africa,
'97 was $254,979.90, being second
only to Great Britain and ahead of
Germany, and that Americans can
easily control the market, It our
manufacturers will Bhip their furni
ture knockdown and so made tha
it can be put together easily, num
bering each corresponding piece
Concluding Mr. Stowe said : '-There
is no fault with the prices charged
by American manufacturers, even
with the duty added ; but it is the
excessive freight on account of bulk
and the difficulty of putting togeth
er, shipped knockdown, of which the
dealers complain.
The presence in Europe- of some
of the Yellow correspondents who
did the tallest lying during the war
with Spain accounts form any of th
sensational stories from Paris about
dend locks In the Pence Commission
the probability of European inter,
fore nee in the negotiation In behalf
Spnin and other equnlly silly
fakes. European interference in
behalf of Spnin might have been a
serious thing in the beginning of
of tho wnr and there wore really
some reasons for fearing some at
tempt of thnt sort, but, having lot
thnt opportunity go by without
ction, there is not the slightest
reason for expecting anything of
tho sort in connection with tho
pence negotiations. The U. 8. is
not Turkey and nobody knows it
any better than the European po
tentates. Pension Commissioner Evans baa
gone to Tennosse, where he will
spend about two weeks on tho stump
for the Republican Congressional
and State tickot, ho will probably
make a few speeches in Illinois In
diana, and Ohio, before roturning
to Washington.
BARBER ON TOP.
Judge McPherson, nt Hnrrisburg,
nnded down nn opinion Tuesday
declaring invalid tho certificates of
lominntion of John E. Lanor, of
Carbon, who claimed theDomocrat-
o nomination for Congress in this
District, and declaring valid tho
certificate of Lnird II. Barber, who
also claimed tho nomination.
One reason assigned is that his
nomination is valid because it wns
made at a meeting of which proper
notice, considering all the circum
stances of tho case, had boen given
tho other conferees, and it was
unanimously made by a clear ma-
ority of the whole conference.
It will bo recalled that the Shnll,
Hart and Lauor oombino met nt
Manch Chunk and organized a con
vention, claiming that Northnmp-
on, which county hnd previously
fixed the time of meeting, and sub
sequently given due notice to all
parties that it was postponed to
another dny, ha ing fixed the date,
had exhausted her control over the
matter, and oould not postpone.
Accordingly, they at the time first
nppointed met, and no one contest
ing Lauer's conferees, they were
admitted to the conference and par
ticipated in mnking the nomination.
Under the ruling of the court, it ap
pears thnt Northampton had author
ity to chango the date ot meeting,
and thnt the Lnuer conferees hnd
no legil status as such, hence the
B:irbor conferees, with those of
Northampton, making eight lognlly
elected conferees, mndo a clear ma
jority of the conference.
NEW LOCK JAW REMEDY.
Lock jaw, or tetanus, as profes
sionally named, is a most fatal and
dreadful disease. A pin scratch, a
rusty nail or a thorn in the foot, ns
wns the case with young Schutz, a
bruise on the finger, or any timid-
like accident mny result in fearful
sufferings, and almost always death.
The physicians have been baffled
and their victims rnade the sport of
fate. In acute or malignant at
tacks only twenty per cent, are
saved and mild cases recover on aa
average of forty per cent.
It is said to arise from a germ ana
is an innoculable disease, and has a
listinct and characteristic bacillus.
I'his has led the way to the use of
an antitoxine, and the introduction
of the serum into tho blood, in a
manner somewhat similar to that
practiced in diptheria, but this has
produced unsatisfactory results and
been uncertain, and cases of cure
have been rare. Much interest,
therefore, has been created in the
case of A. M. Hemion, in tho Pas
saio Hospital, who was operated on
for lock jaw by having the antitox
Ino directly Introduced into his
brain by triphining. Ho soon be.
came better, and it is thought, will
recover. However, eminent modi
icnl men yet doubt tho efflency of
this treatment and think this simp
ly an experiment. The citso will be
watched with groat interest, and
should the result warrant the
chiims now made of the new method
mankind will have received a great
boon at tho ha:uls ot the scientists.
