In spite Of the cold weather we have

Sleds OF all sizes aud shapes are brought
into use, from the little "cllpper" up to

everybody chance to get ride. 1t con-

"This copy of our paper" writes Da-

our new county seat, as we hoped it would
be, but about four miles from there, near
Hank Potter's place. This is owing to the
fact that in moving our Office on the wagon,
where we have had it for the last two
years, so that we might keep it as near the
county seat as possible, one of our horses
became frightened at tie noise of the job

compelling us to stop in the road. We ex-

our wagon to the back end OF the Court
House and be towed along to civilization.
Before the Scrip City boys come after the

X. Of l. met here today. The meeting
was secret and continued all day. Routine
business was presented as being the imme-
diate subject Of attention, although it is
understood that the effect upon the strike
of the manifesto of President Corbin and
the reply Of the miners committee was
earnestly and anxiously considered. There
is no practical change in the situation to
note to-day. The recent report that Wig
orous, and immediate effort was to be made
to start certain colieries appears either to
have been groundless or else the project
has been abandoned, as no collieries have
resumed, nor is there any indication point
ing to the immediate resumption of any
outside of the circle of strikers. The
manifesto of President Corbu is generally
regarded as vindcating the position OF the
Resding Railroad company, although the
prompt and defiant reply of the miners
committee is interpreted as indicating no
relaxation of the determination of the
strikers. The two opposing deliverances
are generally accepted sthe ultimatum OF
each side and constitutes deadlock, the
duration Of which admits of no reliable
con jec ture.

Mad Eight Years After Being
Bitten.

A few weeks ago Frank Tribbey, Jr., a
married son OF Frank Tribbey, Sr., ro-
prictor of the Occidental Hotel, Indianap-
oils, was taken with mysterious malady
that baffled the skill of the physicians. He
had every symptom of hydrophobia, and
was so violent that the physicians were
compelled to strap him down in bed. The
physicians finally pronounced the case
spinal meningitis. Tribbey, after several
days, recovered and was about the streets
for several weeks when he was again seiz.
ed with recurrence of the same SYMPTOMS.
He barked like dog and became so vic,
lent that his friends were compelled tc
strap him down. Tribbey is said to be in
critical condition. Eight years ago he
was bitten by a dog. 1t may be that some
virus was left In the system from the bite

The Susquehanna Evening Transcript OF
Jan. II says of the Bennett & Moulton Op-
era comp any, which will appear here next
week.
"One of the most pleasing entertain
ments given in Susquehanna 10 many day,
was the rendition last evening in Hogan
Opera House of the sprightly and breezy
"Mascot," by the well known and popular
Bennett-Moulton company Miss Mamie
Siegfried, as Bettina, was very charming,
and "caught on" with her audience from
the start She is very talented, and as a
prima donna will be heard from in the
y ears to come
Miss Eta Reed, as Fametts, was stately
and piquant, and won applause by her ar.
tistic work. Gilbert Clayton, as Prince
Lorenzo, and Jerry Slattery, as Rocco,
were excruciatingly grotesque and comical,
and kept the audience in good humor by
their fine business as comedians. Clayton's
song, In which our Main street and the
electric light we're rung in, brought down
the house, Sig, Jules Cluzetti, as Fmder-
ick, and Frank Wooley, as Pippo, pleased
all with their fine singing and artistic act
ing. The latter's "Gobble" duet with
Bettina was charmingly rendered The
minor parts were very acceptably taken,
and the pie &C was rendered smoothly and
artistically throughout. The stage settings
were good, and the costumes rich and ap-
propriate. There was no tedious waiting
The fine faces, forms and voices Of the la
dies seemed TO please the gods in the gal
lery, and the ancient gentlemen with pol
ished heads all kept their seats until the
close. The audience was well pleased, as
was attested by the hearty applause and
frequent encores."
