THE STAR LIVERY STABLES.

The Star Livery Stables of Mr..
u. +. Pickett, is one OF the land
marks of Scranton, and it is q
noticeable fact they are now being
fitted NJ, cleaned, whItewashed aud
otherwise put in order as though
no financial depression had ever
been felt in our community.
Through all the financial vicissi-
tudes OF the past seventeen years
the Star Livery Stables have never
varied in price, except in confOrmi-
ty with surrounding circumstances,
and these prices have always been
uniform without respect to persons.
Good horses, nice comfortable bug
gies, neat aud clean offices, warmed
by stove in winter, prompt atten-
tion night and day, characterize the
Star Livery Stables. Mr. Pickett
has now, in connection with his
stables IA nice glass enclosed hearse,
as nice'as eau be had in any country
town, which he has fitted up so that
our people may enjoy the luxury OF
IL decent burial. With these retlec-
tons it must be seen that this inSti-
is II public benefit, and ed
serves. the support OF the citizens.

STOLE 4 MARCH ON THE couPAxY,
Ahe Canadian Pacific Officials Charged
With Arson.

WINNIPEG, Oct. S1.-The government
stole march on the Canadian Pacific to-
day by making detour in the track laying
and running its line over turnpike near
the blockaded points when the railroad
forces had their attention directed else
where. The government put down two
rails hurriedly and ran an engine over the
track, thus reaching the provincial line on
the other side. The intention now is to
forward rails and tranship them over the
Canadian Pacific track by hand, and with
the engine on the other side they can be
hurried to the front. AT present the Cana
dian Pacific has four large forces guarding
at different points at an enormous cost
A report is current that the Canadian Pa
cific officials fired their own bridge to turn
public sympathy in their favor. Superin-
tendent Whyte says that if the company's
property is taxed rates will be raised, as
they must make up any loss out of the
province.

An Expedition to be Sent to the Relief of

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Acting Secretary
Thompson to-day received long telegram
from San Francisco signed by Senator
Hearst and others informing him of the
perilous situation of the crew of about
dozen whalers supposed to have been
wrecked near Heard island in the Arctic
ocean and asking that revenue steamer
be sent at once to their assistance. There
are said to be nearly 500 men in the party
and they are in no condition to withstand
the ravages of an Arctic winter. The
president sent for Commodore Harmony,
acting secretary of the navy, and instructed
him to take immediate steps for the relief
of the whalers. Commodore Harmony
promised to do so and said he would en-
deavOr to communicate with Commander
Emery, commanding the United States
steamer Thetis now cruising in the Arctics
and which is expected to arrive in San
Francisco in a short time The present
plan is to fit the vessel out for the relief of
an expedition as soon as she arrives at San
Francisco andfto expeditae her arrival there
with that end in view.

loosen the girder fraction of one inch.
Tho girder was one of the main supports

this afternoon the rope broke and three
boys, James Mcclure, John buddy and
Paul Nagle, were precipitated from the
20 feet. Mcclure and buddy fell head
foremost and were killed instantly. Nagle
had both arms and legs broken and will
probably die. The agent of the fire escape
81. G. Wilson of GAINESVILLE, O., who hired
the boys to come down the escape, paying
then &c each, has been arrested, pending
the c0roners investigation. He is almost
crazy over the unfortunate affair, and is
being watched closely, as it is feared he
will attempt suicide.
