The New U. S. Court District.

Congressman Scranton has intro
duced bill providing for the holding
of sessions of the United States circuit
court in Scranton and forming a dis
trict to be composed of the counties
of Lackswanna, Wayne, Pike, Monroe,
Carbon, Susquehanna, Wyoming, Luz
erne, Bradford and Columbia. Efforts
in this district have been made for
years and, as constant dropping wears
away stones, so we may expect that
the keeping of this question constant
ly before Congress may result finally
in the achievement of our purpose.
The ball was set in motion by Hon. f.
d. Collins--when he represented the
Eleventh Congressional District and
has been receiving fresh impetus at
every session of Congress since. The
Federal Government has already CON-
mitted itself to the erection of build
ing in Scranton which may be made
to accomodate the United States Court
as well as the postofiice, and as con-
sequence we do not apprehend that the
setting up of new district will meet
with as much opposition as heretofore.
Citizens of all parties wish success
to Mr.. Scranton in the matter of
securing the passage of his bill

Mr. De Voc on the Weather.

A. J. De Voc, Meteorologist, of
Hackenssck, N ]. thus writes to the
New York Sun in regard to the
weather for January aud February:
"There is another storm approaching,
and your readers need not expect any
comfortable weather this week. From
the 18th TO the 23d we will be treated
to few days of mild, pleasant weather
and about the 25th cyclone will move
up the Gulf Stream, causing several
northeast gales iu this section, with a
temperature below zero, and heavy
SHOWS along the coast, and it will cross
the ocean 10 Europe, and France will
be banked up with snow on the 30tb.
Immediately following the northeast
gale warm wave will make its appear
ance in Montana and move this way,
and the people of Canada West should
make preparations for destructive
floods about Feb. l. While they are
having pouring rains in Canada a
severe cyclone will form in the Gulf Of
Mexico and will shake things loose
around Galveston about Feb. 2. All
merchants owning vessels should give
the west Gulf coast wide berth from
the lst till after the 9Th. While the
cyclone is raging in the Gulf pierre
ing noriher will sweep over the plains
of Louisiana and Texas making sad
havoc among the cattle and the sheep.
In New York city February will
enter warm, cloudy, aud rainy, with
fog so thick that your readers will not
be able to see each other across the
street, but it will be of short duration.
About the 9TH cold blast will strike
the city that will make everything
snap and crack, and about the 7th
snow storm will sweep over the country
and railroad travel will be almost sus-
pended. Following the snoy storm
the thermometer will drop about 100
below zero. Then the icemen should
get to work and gather their ice crop,
about a foot and half thick.

The Presidential Succession.

The law providing for the succession
in case of the death or removal of the
President of the United States, passed
the House last Friday, Just as it came
from the Senate. The vote in tho
House was yeas 1888, nays II. The
negative vote was east by republic ans
and two democrats. Thirty-seven re-
publicans voted 10 the affirmative.
What is known as the Presidential
Succession bill, and which now awaits
the signature of the President to be-
come law, is measure devised orig
inally by Senator Hoar, of Massachu.
sets, and introduced by him into the
Senate at the last session of Congress.
After some debate and few unimpor-
tant verbal amendments it was then
passed by that body, but failed Of act.
ioh in the House. The death of Vice
President Hendricks during the in
term left Congress in a frame of mind
to guard against the accidents of sud
den fate in the matter of Presidential
succession, and Mr. Hoar was early in
the field with his old measure when
Congress assembled in December.
After short debate and the rejection
of several proposed amendments it
again passed the Senate on Dec. IS
and went at once to the House.
Alter careful consideration in the
Judiciary Committee of that body it
was reported favorably to the House
in precisely the shape it had passed
the Senate. As in the Senate, all at.
tempts at amendment were defeated in
the House, and after two days de-
bate it has been overwhelmingly pass
ed. Introduced by Republican Sen
ator and receiving the votes of thirty.
seven Republican members of the
House, the bill cannot be called par
tisan measure. lis object is to pro-
vide against all possible gaps or lapses
in the Presidential office until such
time as Congress can mature some per
fectly sound amendment on the subject
TO the Constitution.
The bill provides that when there is
a vacancy in the offices of both Presi.
dent and President the Cabinet
officers shall succeed to the Presidency
in the following order Secretary OF
State, Secretary of the Treasury, Sec
retary of War, Attorney General
Postmasier-General, Secretary Of the
Navy and Secretary of the Interior
The Cabinet officer thus acting a,
President is to hold office until the dis
ability of the President or Vice Pr,si
dent is removed, or until new Presi
dent is elected 10 succeed him at the
end of the term of the President OF
Vice President whom he succeeds. The
bill also authorizes the acting President
to call an extra session of Congress
within twenty days from the time he
assumes the duties of his office, should
the regular meeting of Congress not
occur within that time.

behind her, DR.. Charles Wilson, sue

was member of the Presbyterian
church quiet consistent devoted
Cnristian, and died in the triumphs of
the Christian faith. She was so years
of age and will be buried on Friday in
our cemetery. She rests in peace in
the bosom of her God. She has left
a bright exa mple behind her and an
hallowed influence that will live long
after she has returned unto dust and
the grass and the flowers have grown
and blossomed over her mound. Thus
should we all live leaving the world

the evidence relative to the nego,ia-
