Within the past few years propos ed new railroads to tap the anthra cite coal fields have been heard of periodically, but they never mater ialized. A railroad with its western ter minus at Williamsport and its east ern at Port Jervis, is now promised, and Wilkes Barre is to be one of the most important cities it will touch. A charter for the construction of the road has been granted and among the capitalists interested are sever al Wilkes. Barreans. The survey has just been com pleted by Ira Hartwell, who is well up in railroad construction. Con structive work will begin in the spring, it is said . The intention of the projectors is to tap several rich lumber districts and also a portion of the anthracite coal fields. The new road is planned to start at William? port on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, and cross from there in the direction of Harvey's lake, thence along Harvey's creek to West Nanticoke. Crossing the riv- er above Nanticoke, tho route cuts across toward Ashley and, skirting the mountains, passes the Empire, continues along the mountain at a point back of the Baltimore reser voir, crosses the cut off at gradv back of Miner's Mills, thence by di rect route to Gouldsboro, on through Pike county to Port Jervis.

Harry DeWitt, who went to Phil adelphia recently for surgical aid, last week suffered amputation of his leg. It is to he hoped this will give relief from a difficulty which has for some years distressed him The Milford Driving Association has about concluded definite ar rangements to purchase grounds near the Grand View Hotel in Ding man township for a track and will increase its capital stock for that purjiose. To-morrow is Candlemas day when the coons, 4 legged, and bears, also 4 legged, are sunposed to come out to look after their shadows.

THE RAMBLERS PICKINGS. The mnjority of our residents have passed throinrh the epidemic. I am sorry for tho-e who have it be fore them. John J. Van Sickle, Sfindystntis wide awake Assessor passed through here Saturday on his way to .Ohio where he is engnged in the lumlirr business, I overheard a fnr.nv remark the other day when a resilient of this county told a correspondent lie wanted to he kept out of the news papers. To the best ot my recollec tion that correspondent never has used that mans name, so what did ho mean? Hainesville N. J. has a Sabbat h school whose officers nro all ladies, where are the men? Most everybody lias heard of Ack erson & Co. doing business in the Park Block Newton. The sales in their grocery department alone last year amounted to over $70,000. Oysters may he classed as a lux ury in town. Fifty cents per quart is the price charged. Miss Cory Leidle who has been ill for some time does not improve. Her latest, n Miction is failing eye sight. Dr. Best the Port Jervis specialist was down Sunday to ex amine her. I have not heard his opinion. Philip Walters who will take pos session of his new purchase the Re voyre placenoar the Delaware bridge is already nt work getting things in shnpo. What Philip does not know about truck raising is not worth knowing. As there has been so much sick ness of late and in some cases whole families have been afflicted I have wondered if there has r')t been con siderable suffering for some needed necessaries. I hoie that - has not been, but the motto "The poor ye have always with you" would- be A good one to remeihber. Also charity should begin nt homo. Never mind the heathen most of tl em need little clothing and less fuel than is needed here. Our Sandyston friend is getting funny wants H. L. to carry mail. Now did you ever hear the like. As I know for a fact that our friend is a very good pedestrian although pietty well long in years, I would suggest he put in a bid below the r'e;st and carry the mail afoot. Town meeting is drawing near. But a good time always to get eveu with the fellow who bent yon be fore. The Montague Correspondent of the Port Jervis Gaaetto wrnts tho township to build a town Hall so ns to save the ten dollars per year it costs the township for a polling room. Teu dollars would lie nhout the interest on two hundred dollars which would hardly put up a build ing, not take in consideration the care of it, cleaning, fuel and insur anee. Better pay tho ten dollars for a polling room or bettor still make Tappantown and the Brick house stop their fight and hold tho town meeting in each place alternately and havj no town hall. There won't be any how for some time to come. Surely this town will be up to the procession. Tho Driving Park is an assured fact, but what more we need is A Brass Band, a few holes filled on some of our side walks and a few over hanging branches clipped off. So far sleigtis have been of little use. They are no good now anyhow when a bike cau be run. Possums must be getting numer ous.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER. (From Our Ki'Kalar Correspondent ) Wahhinuton, D. C, Jan. 28, 1901. President McKinley is too wise a statesman to cross the extra session bridge before ho gets to it. Ho has called the attention of Congress to tho legislation ha considers neces sary, as it Is his duty to do. If Congress fails to act, it will then be his duty to consider whether an ex tra session will he necessary. Nat urally, ho would prefer avoiding an extra session, but he will not allow his preference to cause him to shirk his duty. Whether there will be an extra session depends upon Con gress, not upon the President. The lawyer who wins the most cases naturally gets the moit clients. C. A. Snow & Co., the Washington Patont Lawyers, get mora allow ances of pitents than nny other firm practicing before tho U. 8. Pat ent Office last year thev Kot 1497. many of which had boon previously rejected . The amended Revenue Reduction Bill which will be taken up by the Senate this week, makes about the same re 'uetion in the rovonues $40,000,000 that the House bill did, but the items differ widely. The Senate bill reduces the tax on beer to $1 50, which the House refused by a vote to do. Rapid progress is being made in both House and Senate in disposing of the regular appropriation bills, and it is not probable Mint nny of them will fail, whatever other legis- ation may be left unacted upon at tho close of the session. Senator Dopow has received many congratulations on his speech in fa vor of the Ship Subsidy bill. Hav ing been a railroad mm all his life, ho is thoroughly familiar with the transportation of freight both on land nnd sea. He cited numerous excellent reasons why the Subsidy bill should become a law, not the least of which was contained in these words of his : 'It is estimated that there is pnid by Anierienn pro ducers to foreign ship owners in freight chnrges, nt least $175,000,000, a yenr. Four per cent on this would give ns an American Merchant Ma rine, and the expenditures of much the larger part of this money in our own country. Presidents McKinley's message to Congress, transmitting a report of the Philippines commission, on ex isting conditions and needs in the islands, although not long, is re ceiving much attention. It con eludes with these words : "I earnest ly reccomend legislation under which the government of the islands may have authority to assist iu their peaceful industrial development in the directions indical'ed by the See rotary of War." The Philippine Commission otrougly urges the pas stage of the Spoouer Philippine bill by Congress, saying of it: "Uutilits passage no purely central civil gov ernment can bo established ; no pub lie franchise of any kind granted, and no substantial investment of private capital in internal improve ments as possible." Of the need of civil laws in the islands, the report says : "The Army has brought the Philippines to the point where they offer a ready and attractive field for investment and enterprise, but to make this possible, there must be mining laws, home-stead and land laws, general trunsporation laws. banking, and ourrency laws." Of the general condition the report says, after noting the favorable ef feet of the reelecting of President McKinley : "From now on conditions in these islands will grow steadily better, and however formidable the difficulties really are, the possibili ties that present themselves of im proving tho condition of the people iu education, wealth, comfort, and i'ii the knowledge of how to govern themselves, cannot but awaken the deepest enthusiibiii on the part of every friend of civilization, familiar with the actual conditions." Many believe that President McKinley will call an extra session if this Congress fnils to act upon his recommenda tion, as lack of time may compel it to do. Senator Lodge, Chaiimau of the Philippine Committee, expresses confidence that the Philippine legis lation recommended by the Presi dent, can be pushed through the nate in a few days, but that con- i (,tlu iu ,1(,t ,(.P,.;tliv kIihi-h.1 by Senators.

To those interested in crimson clover we would say imported seed does not reproduce well. The nat ive seod is more hardy The price is about $4 a bushel. The new century begins with much sickness not only Here but elsewhere. Armand Heater is afflicted with rheumatism which confines him in bed his mother has been bed ridden sinoo liBt May and his father is oon flned to his room by Illness. A daughter and her husband lives with them and lately Fred Mink has been domioiled with them by the poor authorities of Lehman. Last Friday morning the chimney of tho house caught fire. Litz ran np a ladder to the roof his wife followed with a pail of water and when near the top the ladder slipped throwing Mrs. Litz to the ground. Her hus band jumped to her rescue and was injured. Armand Heater crawled out of bed and carried hor in the house. The fire burned out without damage. Mr. Mink ran awny and was ready to go to a fire another day. We came near getting in trouble for criticising our school house. Some of our directors say that in their days they had slab seats in a log house nnd got along very well. So they did, but I claim that slab benches rickety buildings and other things to match will not turn ont so thrifty farmers and progressive men and women as those trained in bet ter surroundings and the poor farm ers we see in the county go far to prove the foot. Not much difference between cats and gofsip mangers, the former one said to carry disease germs from house to house and the latter carry what is often more distressing and annoying. Frank L. Lay ton and family, of Lehman, are afflicted with grip. Like Sussex Pike is afflicted with that plague of other expenses. Notice to Purchases of Tickets, Erie Bailroad Company.
