TIE LATE RAINS. The late-for the sea-

the ground thoroughly, but, SO far as is known,
have not drowned any of the growing crops
All the small water courses in the nelghbor-
hood were raised considerably, but have now
fallen to their usual standard aud that, too,
without having occasioned any damage. A
strong current is prevailing in the river and the
water is very muddy, but the anticipatlons OF
Aood on Saturday were not realized in conse-
oueuce Of the northwest wind which came out
that night, and which, though moderated, still
blows from that quarter. That these anticlpa

know, and no one interests himself to
find out. A regular fight in which ten
or dozen takes sides and use clubs,
stones and pistols, is a regular Sunday
night occurrence down about John
Horn sand this is only four blocks
from the very center of the city. No
one is ever arrested there. No COM
plants are ever entered. Mr.. Horn
fears to complain of the desperadoes
who break in his windows and smash
up his furniture for fear that they in
turn will complain of him keeping his
house open on Sunday IN violation Of
law. It is all nonsense, to try to cover
up and hide the true state of society
here It is lawless beyond precedent,
desperate beyond measure, murderous
beyond imagination. The Times remarks
that strangers who read these ac-
counts and are unacqualnted with the
facts here, would naturally have an idea
that the coal regions are almost equal to
the Western frontier" The writer Of
this has lived on the Western frontiers
on the very borders of civilization
and he never yet saw a state Of society
more dangerous to business, to life and
the peaceful pursuits of happiness than
the Luzerne coal regions. The business
men of Scranton owe it to themselves
and to the community generally to take
prompt and active measures to bring
about such revolution in the govern
ment of the city as will mete out swift
punishment to the deperadoes who have
made the.name Of the third city in the
state synonymous with every bloody
deed on the criminal calendar"
Thus it will be seen that the condj-
ton of society is precisely as have re-
presented it. During the past forty
years 1913 murders have been committed
and only three men hanged. Within
four years twenty-four murders have oc-
CURED and no man executed at all.
Most of the murderers escaped; only
two were arraigned, one was acquitted
and the other imprisoned for only a few
months. Every man in Scranton who
ventures upon the street at night carries
revolver, and, with the recent murders,
riots and crucifixions, if worse state of
society exists anywhere, I would like to
know where it is?

ZINC A PREVENTIVE OF BOILER IN
cRUsTATIoN. engineer on board the
st. Laurent, steamer plying between
this port and France, after making some
repairs in the boilers, left accidentally
therein an ingot of zinc. Some time
after, in searching for the bar in the
generator, in which, meanwhile, steam
had been maintained, he found to his
surprise that the metal had disappeared,
and also that the incrustation left by the
water, instead of being hard and firm,
was a mere mud, easily washed out. Re
peating the experiment over another
voyage, the same result was reached. M.
Lesueur, of Anglers, France, after ex-
anlining into this circumstance, thinks
that the zinc forms a voltaic couple with
the iron of the boiler, zinc being the
negative pole and the iron the positive:
It then happens, as in all batteries, that
the zinc is consumed while the iron is
protected both from oxidation and dis
solution. Scientific american.

THERE has been a sensational rumor
afoat for a week back to the effect that
man living in the town of Leroy,
Dodge County, across Horizon marsh,
east Of Waupun, who recently sold his
farm, and after getting home with the
money began to think he had too many
greenbacks around him for safety, and
determined to sit up with them that
NIGHT. He accordingly armed himself
with gun and an axe, and awaited
coming events During the night the
door was burst open by three men. The
first he shot, split open the second with
the az, and the third starting to run,
he gave chase, and brok his back with a
stroke of the gun, thus placing all three
hors du combat. On investigation one
was found to be his brother-in-law and
the other two his cousins.

Mr.. J. S. DICKSON, says The Sparta
Herald, a farmer and mill-owner,
living near Bloomingdale, started before
dark, Sunday night, to walk from Pine
Hollow,a distance of II miles, to Sparta.
The cold was intense, and Dickson, by
the time he reached the Northwestern
depot, late at night, was nearly exhaus-
ted, and tried without success, to get in
to house near there. He managed to
get to town, but on Court street he gave
out, and lay down in the road, opposite
r. Henry's house, where be was found
about o'clock, yesterday morning, in a
nearly ifeless condition. He was picked
up and. carried over to the Courthouse,
and DR.. Bennett sent for, under whose
direction the man was restored In few
hours so far as to tell his story. His
feet and one hand were badly frozen,
but it was thought a5 last accounts that
he would get off, with perhaps the am
putation Of few toes. He may consid-
er himself fortunate in having escaped
with life.

THE MOLLY NJ CURES.
A reverend gentleman on Friday last,
miles from this point, denied the exist
CI1CC VI ally vi uQCI
GUS banditti, and backed up his argu-
ments from his own personal experience
among those with whom the "MoIlies"
are supposed to have originated. With
out attempting to dispute his argument
as they apply to that particular locality
in which he resides, / deem it but right
to state that from the section of the
country in which [ am now writing such
murderous bands do exist, and that they
are daily and nightly performing their
bloody work. [ do not know, not is it
possible to discover, by what names
these deperadoes call themselves, but
whenever any iendish deed of theirs is
fulfilled, Whenever their base, inhuman
intent has been accomplished,a and when
ever a mutilated or 'Ecrucified' corpse Is
found, the plot of the murder and the
circumstances of its frightful cullmina-
ton is always ascribed to the Molly Nc
GUires. Murderous gangs, either OF
ganized or meeting by chance, do riot in
the coal regions, and, after the evidence
given below, let those deny it who can.
THE PROOF.
From time to time many prominent
gentlemen residing in this locality have
received threatening and brutal letters
ordering them to vacate the neighbor-
hood within a given period, or else sub
nit themselves to the pangs of suffering
and death. Many of these letters have
fallen into the possession of your cor
respondent, and here they will be found
exactly as they were written. The fol-
lowing was addressed to Constable
Adam Pfeler:
Mister adam fler esq of hyde park
