TOBACCO.
the Local Tra6o and Prospects.


On the whole the growing crop is doing
very well, the plants being large and
thrifty, some of them almost ready for the
process Of topping, but others being only
fairly started in growth. There il in
many fields a good deal Of irrcsularity in
size, caused by replantinS, where the
plants had been eaten of by the cut worm,
but this is not serious matter, as even
the latcst-set plants will havo ample time
to mature before there il likelihood Of
frost. In few sections portion Of the
plants appear to he sickly and affected
with " black-rOOt," but not to any very
great extent. With anything like favor
able weather and exemption from insects
and hail, u very largo crop may be fairly
expected.
The loose tobacco uf the crop Of 1880 is
so nearly "lifted" and tho lots remaining
unsold are SD widely scattered that it NO
longer pays buyers to ride the county to
secure them. Farmers still holding their
crops will probably have to bring it to
town to sell, or hold on to it awhile longer.
Although there is III active inquiry after
packings Of 1880, We hear of nO heavy
sales. One packing Of $50 cases was sold
u few days On private terms. Pretty good
offers were made for i packing OF 600
cases, and another of $50 or 400 eases but
tho holders refused them believing tina:
they can iO better. The acknowledged
scarcity Of old tobacco fit for n,anufactur-
ing purposes and the satisfactory condition
of the crop Of 1880 mako holders of it Il
little stiff in their demands.

sion the members of tho Legislature who
wish to do business with him como to him
and say "Put me Oh your list" lie did
not have to run after any one. Enough
would come to him to give him force sllf-
tlcient to carry almost any measure he do
sired put through, or dofcat anything to
which he was hostile. BY tho time tho
body got to work his list was carefully
made out and an account duly open
with each Of his men. When 4
measure was proposed that somc corpora
ton wished defeated, its representatives
saw Barber and entered into a contract
with him for tho defeat of tho bill for so
much in gross. The next move was to Sc
cure test vote upon some parliamentary
question to show what the strength of the
measure was without tho interference of
tho lobby. 1t WAS then clear sailing.
Barber looked over his list and picked out
tho number of votes he needed, taking
those only who could vote as he desired
without embarrassing themselves with
their constituencies. He called upon his
men, and without a word rs to pay for the
aye or 10, told them low he wanted them
to vote. When the timo came for the call
of the roll on the passage of tho measure
it went as he desired. At the close of tho
season he had record of what each man
had done for him, and he scrupulously
paid every ono his money in a bulk with
out reference to what tho service was for
which the money was given. In this way
members of tho Legislature were spared
tho risk of being called before I'll investi-
eating committee to testify as to what
they had received for their vote for or
against any bill, for they did not know,
and no money passed until after adjourn
ment.

How 1t is Proposed to water Three
Cities.

A New York capitalist who visited tho
Scranton region a few days ago proposed
the construction of vast reservoir on tho
summit Of Camp5elrs Ledge, at the head
Of tho Wyoming valley. 1t is about 200
feet above tho Susquehanna river, which
curves gracefully by its base into the his
toric plains where tho massacre is said to
have taken place 1O3 years ago, and where
the poet Campbell laid the sceno of his
poem "Gertrude of Wyoming" The
object of locating this reservoir ut
such a height is to give it sufficient clc-
vation to supply Scranton, Pittston,
Wilkesbarro and adjacent towns with
pure water taken from the river at point
above the coal measures. Scranton and
Wilkesbarre arc about ten miles distant,
but Pittston is close by. The sulphur
water discharged from tho mines into the
rivers of the mining region is liquid poi

streams, and will in time poison the peo-

CIGAR STORE ROBBED.

Cigars, Tobacco and Other Articles Stolen.
Late last night or carly this morning
the cigar store of Bitter & Norton, North
Queen street, opposite tho Pennsylvania
railroad PASSENGER depot, was broken into
by thief, or thieves, and robbed of sew
eral boxes Of cigars, loose cigars, plug to-
baccO, an Open-faccd silver watch and a
small amount of change, not above 4 dol
lar, that was in the money drawer behind
the counter.
An entrance was effected by breaking III
a panel under one of the windows in the
south front Of the store. This panel had
formerly been filed with glass to give
light to the cellar, there being a trap-tloOr
in tho floor just inside but for some time
past tho panel had been closed up by nail
ing boards on the inside of it. 1t was an
easy matter for ono acquainted with the
arrangement to knock these boards off with
a hammer or other implement, with little
fear of detection while freight train was
passing, as the noise Of the train would
drown tho noise of the hammer. The
store was closed at II o'clock last night
and the robbery was discovered about day
break this morning. The boxed cigars
stolen were Of the brand known as "Sil-
yer Lake'' and Figaro tho former
have Il picture of 4 lake OH tho inside of
the lid, and the latter are fine square
pressed cigars, tied up in bundles in Il hu..
All the boxes are branded with the rdm-
her of the factory $685." None of the
stolen boxes had revenue stamps placed
upon them.
1t is hot known how many loose cig gars
were taken nor what small articles may
have been pilfcrcd from the case from
which retail sales arc made, but tho thieves
overlooked or did not choose to take
some valuable meerscllaums that wcrc in
tho case. No certain clue to tho perpctra.
tors has yet been found.
