$4,000, They dress WELL wear diamond

sequence in New York has big mustachc.

eny man with reasonably big mustache
Is set down as detective at once by the
average New Yorker. One of these OIL

Sheriff vs.. commissioners.

On the 11th day of June 1888, the Com
missioners of Columbia county entered into
an agreement with Sheriff Mourey to pay
him $40 per month for taking care of the
Jail, anu doing such work as had been
done for some time before that, by man
employed by the Commissioners This ar
rangcment was carried out until last April,
when the new Board of Commissioners ap-
pointed William Barrett as janitor of tho
court house and Jail, and notified the Sher-
iff Of their action. About the 1st Of June
the Sheriff presented bill for two months
pay, which the Commissioners refused to
allow, and thereupon the Sheriff brought
suit against the cornty before Guy Jacoby,
Esq, and hearing took place on Monday.
The Sheriff based his claim on the fact
that his contract with the old Board of
Commissioners was for the balance Of his
term of office, and the Commissioners re-
fused to pay on the ground that the work
was not satisfactorily performed, and that
their predecessors had no right to make
such contract There was no evidence
offered at the hearing on behalf of the
county. The Sheriff, the old Commission
ers, and some other witnesses were exam.
ined on behalf of the plaintiff. Tho JUS
tice has rendered no decision yet.

ANOTHER DIsEAsE-STRIoKEN TowS. -
About month ago the same disease which
has ragged In Plymouth made its appearance
in Sugar Notch, u small mining town be-
tween Wilkes-Barrc and Nanticoke. The
disease has been steadily increasing until
now twenty cases have been reported, but
they are Of mildcr form than those at
Plymouth. A strange feature Of the out
break Is that it is confined to the most
cleany portion Of the town. The doctors
are of the opinion that the epidemic must
have Its origin In the rise of spring water,
as all those who are ill with the disease
have been using water from the springs for
some time. DR.. Davis, of Wilkes. Barre,
has secured for analysis bottles Of water
from the various springs in the immediate
| neighborhood, to which the fever is con.
fined

In case of persons apparently drowned,
they should be laid gently down, their wet
clothing quickly torn of and dry blankets
wrapped all around them. Then artificial
respiration should be made by drawing the
arms away from the sides, bringing the
elbows up together above the head push
ing the arms down again and around, so
that the elbows meet over the pit of the
stomach, and so on at the rate OF 10 times
a minute. AS the arms are brought down
gentle but firm pressure should be made on
the stomach just below the end of the

to be better than brandy in cases of sun

those sentimental persons who can find adj
