1t is reported that the Library Com
mlttee of the Bar Association will recon-
mend in its annual report extensive i'm
provements to the court house. New
offices, with tire-proof vaults for the
preservation of valuable documents, are
needed for the Prothonotary and Re-
corder of Deeds. In case of fire the
records of these offices would be at the
mercy of the flames, and the loss would
be inestimable. More room is also need
ed for the library, and ladies' retiring
room will be recommended. To accom-
plish all these improvements it would be
necessary to erect a large addition.

To Petition for Miners Hospital.

Information reaches The Nems to-day
that an energetic movement will be
inaugurated next week, the purpose of
which will be the securing of a miners
hospital to be located in Nanticoke.
Petitions will be circulated for signatures
all through the town and in Glen LYON,
Wanamie, Alden, Teasdale City, West
End, West Nanticoke and Grand Tun-
mel, and the people being all interested
in so worthy movement will naturally
give to it all the force required to carry
it to success. Nanticoke occupies a
conspicuous centre in the anthracite
industry, that is peculiarly its own, and
the idea of locating such an institution
here is commendable as we'll as worthy.
Hon. James NJ. Fritz, who will represent
this district in the Legislature, will bear
the petitions to Harrisburg, and will
give it his untiring watchfulness until
it shall become law and the necessary
appropriation be secured.-Daly Ne,rS.

Irish Jaunting Cars.

1t will, perhaps, strike most people
as somewhat odd that there is a steady
importation to this country of Irish
jaunting cars. According to the car
riage makers certain number of en-
thusiastic Irishmen have a yearning
after their native form of conveyance
at certain periods of their lives and
straightway send over to Ireland for
car. Once here, however, the ears are
usually laid aside after the novelty has
worn off. New York hackmen have
occasionally appeared on Madison and
Union Squares with the cars, but, al
though they are all right in Ireland
they seem decidedly uncomfortable in
this country.
