CROCKER, FISK & GO.
Their Creditors Met to Consider
Their Affairs Yesterday.

The creditors of Croker, Fisk u co.
met yesterday afternoon in the North
western National bank to consider the
affairs of the firm. Several typewriter
statements were submitted to them, and
were carefully considered. in the be-
ginning j. S. Pillsbury was made chair
man of the meeting. Then resolution
was adopted to exclude reporters from
the deliberations of the credit
Ors. After that the affairs of
the firm, as indicated by these
typewriter statements, were carefully
considered. Some OF the creditors said
they knew as much before as they did
after reading the statements. Nothing
could be learned last night Of what the
creditors actually decided to do. 1t was
learned that some arrangement will be
made so that it will not be necessary for
the firm to assign. The firm is solvents;
that is, the members of it have more
than enough property to pay all claims
against the firm. Under these condi-
tions it is thought best that the firm
should go on and pay off the debts with
out going through the courts.

PITTsBURG, April 11.-At meeting
of the Allegheny presbytery at Bellevue

ommending that the name of Rev. W. j..
McCrory be stricken from the roll for
heretical utterances was unanimously
adopted. Rev. Mr.. McCrorY was To-
Gated at Oak Grove. Some time ago
trouble was created through complaints
that Mr.. McCrory was preaching doc
trInes so directly opposite those of the
church that they were heretical. The re-
suit was split in his congregation, some
of the members following Rev. McCrOry
and others declining to remain under
his paStorate His case finally came be-
fore the Allegheny presbytery at the
last meeting, when, after hot discuss
ion, Rev. McCrory asked for dismissal
to another presbytery, and renounced
the Allegheny presbytery. The case
was referred to a committee, and the &C
ton taken today was on its report.

The Local Lumbermen Meet and
Talk Business.

Talk BUSINESS.
The regular meeting of the lumber
exchange was held yesterday afternoon.
Nothing but business of the most
routine character was entered into, and
not a single member even referred to
the sensational stuff brought out in the
legislature concerning the lumber
steals. The lumbermen discussed the
opening of the mills and the manner Of
working together to the best possible
advantage of all concerned. The log
committee was instructed to place two
men at each of the mills in the city for
the purpose of looking after the inter-
ests of the lumbermen. These men Will
be changed about every two weeks.
The boom company was instructed to
scale all the logs at the mills. Owing
to scarcity of certain grades of stock,
it was decided to have but two grades,
namely, common" and 'culling."

the grade was dropped from the classifi-
cation.

Sad Case of Destitution.

press dispatch from Allentown tells
of the saddest case of destitution imag-
Unable that has just come to light in that
city. The father of large family lost
his position recently and in short time
his little store of money was exhausted.
The man had always been prompt in
paying his grocery bills and had no diff
Guilty in obtaining credit. With the ad-
vance of time, however, he was unable
to secure work and his grocery bill be-
gan to grow until one day when he went
to the store the merchant refused to give
him anything With wife and several
children suffering from hunger he be-
came desperate and upon leaving the
store took quantity of potatoes from
barrel on the sidewalk and put them
into his own basket.
When the storekeeper learned of the
affair he fastened to an alderman and
procured warrant for the arrest of the
man on the charge of larceny. A con-
stable proceeded at once to serve the
warrant, but the sight which met his
gaze upon reaching the house brought
tears to the eyes of the officer and he
returned without his man. The chill
dren were seated around the table eat
ing the raw potatoes, their hunger being
so great that they could not wait until
they were boiled.
When the merchant who procured the
warrant heard of the destitution of the
family he not only withdrew the charge,
but sent a generous supply of the neces-
saries of life. This is only a sample of
the wretchedness and suffering which
prevail among the poor of that city.

ECKLEY CLIPPINGS.

A Hungarian wedding took place here
on Saturday. The merry makers seemed
to enjoy the evening until one of the
crowd got too much fire water. He began
to let the rest of them know that he was
living and wanted them to understand
they had to abide by his orders and do
as he would tell them. This angered
the crowd and in less than ten minutes
general fight was in progress and the
air filled with the bellows of men and
women. AS usual, more wind than
blows were struck.

1t is useless to mention anything about
the county election. Only about one
half of the vote was polled. Our people

the next spring election we may have
quite different tale to tell in regards to
straight tickets after how the candidates
from our town were used up at the last

Smallpox in the State.

The state board of health has issued
proclamation calling attention to the
important fact that smallpox is epidemic
at Reading and parts of Berks county.
Local boards of health are instructed to
gee that their several districts are placed
in good sanitary condition, poor directors
and county commissioners are notified to
have preparations made to properly treat
any cases which may break out under
their jurisdiction, and an urgent appeal
and command is given to have all people
in the state vaccinated as soon as possible.
The proclamation states that distance
from the seat of the disease affords q
community no security from its trans
mission. inasmuch as the germs may be
transplanted to any section within
twenty-four hours. 1t is therefore i'm
portant that every precaution is taken to
prevent its spread.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There was contingent of the "con-

Democrats in Washington on Friday.
There were Representatives McAleer,
Mutchler, Hines and Wolverton. The
congressman were there principally in
the interest of T. NJ. Commit, of Wilkes
Barre, for revenue collector in the
twelfth district of Pennsylvania. A
prominent treasury official predicted
that several Pennsylvania appointments
would be made this week or early next
week and not one of them would bear
the marks of Harrity's endorsement.
Those he named were Chauncey F.
Black, collector of the port at Philadel-
phia; T. M. Commit, revenue collector in
the twelfth district; Raymond L. Shear
er, revenue collector in the ninth dis
trict, and A. Haller Gross, superinten-
dent of the Philadelphia mint.

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
