A TOUGH DOG

He Cured Himself of the Effects of a
RattIer's Bite.
Rattlers are reported to be numerous
IN the hills this season, and are encount-
red on all sides by campers. While in
camp a short time after leaving Folsom,
says the Telegraph, one of the party shot
large RATHER, and the hunting dog of C.
l.. Ecklon rushed into the brush and
grabbed the part of the snake on which
the head remained. In the dying strug-
giles OF the snake it snapped the dog on
the nose.
The wound swelled up, and soon the
animal was blinded. 1t was thought that
he would have to be killed, but the party
decided to take him to the river and tie
him. He was tied on the beach with fifty
or sixty feet of rope. He Immediately
dug hole in the sand and buried his
head in the same, occasionally jumping
into the water.

Improved somewhat. The swelling
changed from his head to his throat and
chest two or three times, and in week or
so the dog got well. This upsets the gem
eral belief that a rattlesnake bite is al
ways fatal to all domestic animals eX-

that at this season the river wattN is al
most clear, while during the greater Dor
ton of the fall, winter and spring months
it IS thick with mud and offensive to the
eye. 1t is during those months that the
water makes such an unfavorable impress
sion upon strangers. AS a matter OF fact.
however, the water is more impure and
unwholesOme at this season of the wear
than at any other, because it is largely
drained of the vast area of overlooked
land north of US, which is covered with
the dead carcasses of animals drowned
during the winter floods. Besides, people
cannot judge of the purity OF water from
its appearance or taste. Nothing but
chemical and microscopical tests can
demonstrate the quality of the water. and
in the plan proposed to furnish the city
with clear, pure water, it is provided that
the city shall not accept any water until
it is proven by those tests to be entirely
satisfactory. 1t is not proposed to furnish

Crimes Upon Crimes.

The stamp of death and crime is upon
the celebrated case of James G.. Jen-
nings, of Scranton, against the Lehigh
Valley Company, which was given to a
jury in that city on Friday. The case
grows out of the Mud Run horror of
1888, young Jennings being among the
injured. When the case was first tried
the plaintiff got verdict for $4,000.
Judge Connolly struck of the verdict
and granted new trial.
Before the case could be heard again,
Judge Connolly sickened and died. On
the day that it was again called up,
Deputy United States Marshal Reynolds
was accused of bribing jurors to find
against Jennings, and half dozen swear
that they were approached by him.
Mr.. Reynolds is under indictment for
the offense.
Last week Judge Searles was called over
from Montsrose to hear the famous case.
On Thursday DIR. Gulick blundered
while giving expert testimony, and this
so preyed upon his mind with other mat
ters that he committed suicide on Fri
day. DIR. r. FL. Gibbons, an equally
widely known practitioner, was arrested
on Saturday on charge of perjury, it
being alleged that he swore falsely while
giving expert testimony.
The jury on Saturday brought in a
verdict of So, 500 damages for Jennings,
but this does not satisfy him and he will
move for new trial.

Borough Police Arrested.

John Martisizius, saloon keeper at
Main and Centre streets, who, with eight
other Polanders, was arrested on the
evening of the 10th inst and fined $25,
swore out warrant at Hazleton, charg-
ing Burgess Gallagher and Officers Pat
rick Welsh, John J. Welsh, Daniel Gal
lagher, William Fritzinger and Patrick
Mclaughlin with conspiracy. Patrick
Welsh was also charged with assault and
battery upon Mrs. Martisizius.
The burgess and officers entered bail
after being served with the warrants on
Thursday before Squire Buckley in the
sum Of 5000. each for a hearing at Halle
ton on Saturday evening.
The hearing took place before Squire
Laubach on Saturday evening. The
prosecution was conducted by G. H.
Troutman, of Hazleton, and D. J. Nc
Carthy looked after the defense. The
testimony of the witnesses for the prose
cution failed to identify any of the de-
PENDANTS as being in the house, except
Patrick Welsh. Chief Mclaughlin was
discharged and the others entered $500
bail to appear at court.

Hon. w. III. Hines, who has been ac-

applicants for the office of revenue col
lector of this district, has made a state
ment of his position in letter to the
Neaosdealer. He says:

sary for me to state my position on the
revenue collectorship. l announced
long ago and on different occasions that
l favored and had indorsed P. M. Con-
niff, of Plains. l have never wavered
from that position and will not"
Bruce Ricketts,, of Wilkes-Barre, how
ever, is gaining strength daily, and as
he has some strong friends of Cleveland
backing him it is possible he may be APP
pointed. The fight will be a hot one
from now on as Hines will not likely
allow anyone from his own district to be
appointed without his endorsement.
Ricketts, success would be hard blow

The Columbian Half Dollar.

Counterfeits of the Worlds fair SOU
venir half dollars are in circulation, and
as they are made of coin silver they are
not easy to detect. 1t is said that they
are triae light in weight and a shade
smaller in circumference than the genu-
inc, which, however, only appears when
they are stacked up together.
In the words Columbian Half Dol
lar" the D is not quite perfect and the
medallion head Of Columbus leans lit
tie to the right. AS it takes about sc
cents worth of silver to make one, and
their market value is dollar, their
manufacture leaves a good margin of
profit. AS the coin bears no mint mark
it is comparatively easy to counterfeit.

The Universal Opinion,

The verdict of the people who attend
ed Walter l.. Mains circus yesterday
afternoon and evening pronounces it to
be one of the best ring shows ever given
by any new aspirant for favors in the
saw-dust arena. The crowd both after
noon and evening was very large, the
applause frequent and loud.
The group of performing elephants
was good. The trained dog, "Shep-
herd" was simply marvel. The Fish
er brothers have no superiors as gym
nastic artists, The performing horse in
troduced by Mr.. Joseph Berries elected
marked applause.
Other features worthy of personal men,
tion were the riding of Chas. Fish, the
acrobatic feats of the Reno brothers and
Walton and the two-horse act by Cousins
were productions of high character.
Walter L. Mains circus is deserving of
patronage on its merits. .-OHd,oa (lH.)
