Snapped In TWO.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2I.-Yesterday af-
ternoon one of the strans of the Brook
iyn bridge railway cable snapped and
began to fray. Before the machinery
could be stopped the flaw, which when
first seen was scarce two feet long had
grown to one hundred and fifty feet,
and the broken stran, knotted and
twisted, had been crowded into spi-
raj spring twenty five feet long. The
train service was then continued with
locomotives with trains of four cars
each at sen-minute intervals. 1t
was impossible, however, to clear the
platforms of passengers, and traffic
was greatly delayed--thousands of per-
sons going to the ferries or using the
promenade. On examination, some
weak places were found near the break
so q piece of the cable four hundred
feet long was cut out and replaced
The cable was warranted for one year,
but has been running for two years
and quarter-longer than any cable
on record. The cause of the break is
a mystery, but is generally attributed
to frost. Trains are running as usual
today.

A Case OF HFdrOph0bia Cured by
Turkish Raths.

A Case OF HTdrOPhobia Cured by
Turkish faths.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 2l.-The
theory advanced here a short time
since that a vigorous treatment of
Turkish baths, administered in the
early stages, would effectualIy cure
hydrophobia, seems likely to be veri-
fled. Joseph krebla. an employa of
the car shops in West Milwaukee, was
bitten by dog, supposed to be mad,
about twenty-five days ago, but did
not experience any trouble until last
Friday, when he was seized with what
appeared to be the premonitory symp-
toms of kydrophoblR. He complained
of severe prickling sensation at the
wound and at points along the right
side to the crown of his head, had q
swelling in the throat, was unable to
swallow, and restless to the extent
that he could not sleep. He was taken
to bath establishment and Saturday
passed five hours in the sweat room
with the temperature at l35, and Sun
day passed two hours there. Saturday
night he obtained six hours of undIs-
turbed sleep and rest, aud yesterday
again slept soundly. The dangerous
symptoms have disappeared and the
man expects to resume his work today
should they not return. The theory
that his disease was brought about by
Imagination is disproved by the fact
bite, is Bohemian and not a reading
man, aud knows nothing whatever OF
the symptoms of hydrophobia.

Another link that binds us to the |
past has been broken. Another who |
was here before the Indian left this |
section aud who has remained and |
helped make it what it now is, has
gone.
Orrin Harmon, born in Mantua,
this county, Feb. 22d. 1905, died Dee. |
II, 1885. He was the third child and |
oldest son OF Judge Eliss Harmon, one
Of the first settlers OF Mantua, in this
of the family. He has always made
his home in his native county, and in
this village since 1929. In his youth
he was anxious for an education and
employed all the advantages at his
command here al that time. He stud.
led mathematics and fitted himself for
a surveyor. His first work WAS t,

fore the digging was commenced he
had been appointed County Surveyor,
which position he filled for about five
years. In 1892 he took the agency for
the sale of lands belonging to several
of the original ow ners, or their heirs,
ON the Reserve, ond for several yeaIs
he had lands in his hands in every
county on the Reserve but one. He
continued his agency business until
1861, when he gave it up, having near

Sept. %, 1882, he married Camilla
King, who died June II, 1878. They
had two children, j. c., who is a resi-
dent of this place, and who has seen to
his parents in their declining years,
and a daughter who died in 1856. In
all his business he was very careful
and correct aud in all his dealings he
never was accused of taking a cent
wrongfully, and many a man has
thanked him for his lenity and waiting
50 that he had been able to succeed in
securing home for himself and family
In politics he has always been with
the Radicals, Freesoiler from 1915 10
1856, and was al the convention that
organized the Republican party, but
late years has been with the Prohibi
dOnists, thinking that drinking Was
the worst evil We had to contend with.
Having a good memory he has been
able and has recorded facts in regard
to the early setslement of Mantua and
Ravenna that no one now could have
told.

Oldest resident of our county, and one
who 40 to 81 years ago was prominent
in settling this section, and who was
well known throughout the Reserve.

coinage without pointing out some

that "the very limited amount of cir

The great contest in Congress over
the new rules for the House ended on
Friday in the complete triumph of
Morrison and the discontinue of Ran

order of things. On the test vote the
result was: For the new rules, 227

ity. The final adoption was without
division.
The point about which the contest
turned was the proposed rule whereby
appropriation bills, instead of being
all in charge of the appropriation COM
mittee, were to be distributed among
the various committees having to do
with the particular subjects to which
the particular bills related. That is to
say, the postoffice appropriation bill
to the committee on postal affairs, the
army appropriation bill to the military
com mittee, and SO on. 1t was urged
by the friends Of this plan that under
the old order when single committee
had charge of all the bills they could
be and were held back in such q way
as to antagonizs other legislation. Mr..
Randall and the friends of the old
plan denied this, and maintained that
to distribute the bills would be to in
vite extravaganza and make it easier
to attach jobs to the bills.
The Ohio members voted as follows:
Nays, Democrats-Campbell, Ander-
son, Cultivate, Hill, Seney, Wilkins,
Geddes, Ellsberry-s. Kepublicans-
Brown, Grosvenor, Cooper,J. Fl. Tay-

was unavoidably absent, but if pres

A TERRIBLE mine horror occurred
It Nanticeke, Pa, on Friday last,
which resulted in the death Of about
thirty men and boys. The disaster
was caused by the mine being flooded
by the giving out of the bottom of a
large swamp covering several scres.
and In which there was an immense
quantity of water accumulated from
the recent heavy rains and SHOWS. A
dispatch of the 22d. dated 1890 a. M.
says the mine officials at Nanticoke
decided to abandon work in the air
shaft on account of the cave in and
the presence of fire damp. All at
tempts to get the missing men out
alive have now been abandoned, but
the work through the tunnel will be
pushed steadily forward. 1t will prob.
ably be about two weeks before the
coolies are reached.
