Not Afraid of the Germs.

cold paper money is as full of bacteria
as eggs is full of meat" says profes-
sional bacterologist, who has made ex-
haustiye researches in this particular
field. The chief medical journal of Lon
don says, 1.-TWO bank notes were found
containing 10000 germs of various kinds.
These averments are strengthened and
sustained by various examinations made
by specialists in bacteriology, and the
matter has assumed such an important
phase in the dread of cholera visitation
that congress will be asked to make pro-
visions for calling in old bank-notes, and
making reissues.
Still, if one of the two English bank
notes alluded to were handed to the
editor by any of our subscribers who are
in arrears we would not stop to count up
the 10000 germs. We would simply
stuff note, germs and risk into our pocket
with look of satisfaction that would
please photographer.

JOS. P. Mcdonald, the Democratic can
didate for poor director, made tour of
the lower end of Carbon county this
week, and from the state in which he
found political affairs there he has no
longer any doubt of being elected by a
handsome majority.
In fact throughout the entire portion
of the district which Mr.. Mcdonald has
so far visited, he has received positive
assurances of support from both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, besides an un-
usual amount of encouragement and aid
in his canvass.

The King of Trolley Lines.

On Tuesday charter was granted to
a company which will construct the
longest trolley line in the state. The
name of the concern is the Northumber
land, Bloomsbury and Scranton Street
Railway Company, with main Office at
Hazleton.
The capital is $780, 900, and the line
runs from Northumberland through
Cameron and Chulaski to Danyille
thence to Mechanicville, Ridgeville, Cat
awissa Junction, Catawissa Rupert
Bloomsbury, Espy, Lime Ridge, Willow
Grove, Briar Creek, Berwick, across the
Susquehanna to Nescopeck, back to Ber-
wick thence to Beach Haven, Hicks
Ferry, Shickshinny, Hunlocks Creek,
West Nanticoke, Nanticoke, returning
to West Nanticoke; thence to Avondale,
Plymouth, Kingston, Bennett, Matby,
Wyoming, West Pittston, Pittston, Dur
yea, Lackawanna, Taylorsvlle, Belle
vue, ending at Scranton, returning to
Northumberland by same route.
The line laid out runs parallel with
the track of the Delaware, Lackawapna
and Western Railroad throughout it's en-
tire length of about eighty miles, An
excellent pike road winds along the val
ley of the north branch of the Susque-
hanna, which, when not covered by
flood waters, affords an excellent foun-
datlon for the tracks of an electric rail
way. The progress of this experiment
in rapid transit between distant points
will be noted by the public with no little
interest.
The incorporators are: President j..
r. Coyle, Shenandoah; directors, II. o..
Rodgers, George II. Troutman, 7. II .
Hutchison, George A. Wilkinson, L. o.
Emerich, Dominic F. Sweeney, A. Z.

CULM BANKS TO GO.
Used in Filling Up Abandoned Workings,
Then Pillars Can be Taken Out.

From Wilkes-Barre comes the report
of an innovation that means the reclaim
ing of millions of tons of coal, which has
been introduced by the Lehigh and
Wilkes Barre Coal Company. The plan
is to carry the culm back into the mines
by means of water. This culm solidifies
and holds up the surface so that the pill
lars can be removed. The company has
Just contracted for an eight-inch bore
hole to be sunk over the abandoned
workings of the Nottingham at Ply
mouth. 1t will penetrate to depth of
nearly 700 feet, and then will be used to
flush the worked-out portions of the
mine with culm.
Under the present system only forty
to fifty per cent. of coal can be taken
out, the remainder being left as supports
and pillars. Under this flushing process
new support is furnished, and new
breasts can be driven around the solidi-
fed culm, thus making it possible to take
out all but five per cent of the entire
deposit of coal as it originally existed.
These possibilities reveal a new future of
things.
1t is to be expected that the system
will before long be generally adopted
though by these operations just inaugu-
rated at what is now the greatest shaft
in the world, the first seal of approval
has been set by one of the big compan-
les. The area of old workings to be i'm
mediately flushed at the Nottingham
will include nearly fifty acres. In few
months, if necessary or desirable, the
remaining coal in this area can be taken
out-a quantity fully as great as has been
before removed.
The system, besides reclaiming mil
lions of dollars worth of coal that it was
thought never could be mined, is also
though to be the solution of the culm
bank problem, for thus hundreds of
acres of surface lands will be reclaimed.
The method of sinking the present
big eight-inch bore is new, as far as its
application to such a large opening is
concerned. The boring is made by use
of small steel shot being rubbed into the
rock under the perimeter of the eight
inch tube. 1t requires but a pound or
two of the shot to sink the drill ten feet
through solid rock, and the method is
much cheaper and fully as rapid as by
means of the old diamond drill.

Jacob B. Zeiger, of Washington street,
has accepted the agency for Koal-
spar, a powder which when dissolved in
water and sprinkled over coal, will re-
suit in a great saving of that fuel and
will cause it to give forth more heat 1t
also prevents the formation Of clinkers
in CRATES.
He has given the article severe test
during the past few months, and accepted
the position of general agent only after
he was convinced that it would do all
the manufacturers claimed for it. Sam.
Pile packages will be furnished by Mr.
Zeigler to any person desiring to give
Koal-spar fair trial.

The Jeanesville team for the coming
year is about completed. and some few
changes have been made, says the Stan.
ddrd. The club as far as known will be
as follows: Catchers, Brady and Fair
hurst; pitchers, Sellers and Seeds; 1st
base, Simmons End base, Ward; short
stop, Uhlam; Sd base, Miller; fielders,
Bachman, Smear and Hayes.
OF the catchers little can be said, as
both are well known. Sellers last year
played with the Camden team, while
Seeds made quite a record for himself
with the Tacony club. Miller, who is
assigned to third base, played with Eas-
ton last season, and Hayes, one of the
new fielders, finished in a similar posi-
ton last year with the Wiliamsport
team.

DRlFTON ITEMS.

The ball held by the Fearnots Athletic
Association of this place at Freeland on
Friday evening was enjoyed very much
by all who attended. While not so very
large, the number present were of the
kind who know how to make ball
lively and this was done to everybody's 8
satisfaction. Andrew O'Donnell and
Miss Grace McGeehan led very pretty
grand march. The association returns
thanks to all who assisted at the ball.
The rush of work on the D. S. & S.
continues night and day, but with the
three new engines and crews put on this
week it is expected that everything will
be kept moving along hereafter.
