Rio Janeiro, Feb. 15.-On Tuesday
night last a launch belonging to the
American cruiser Newark took ashore
from that vessel several sailors who had
been attacked by yellow fever. The men
were taken to the yellow fever hospital.
On her way back the course of the
launch took her close to the anchorage of
the merchant feet. Lying among the
r1erchantmen was the insurgent steamer
Marie The latter fired three shots
at the launch, but all three
vent wild, doing no damage. The
cantain of the Marie afterward
declared that he did not know that the
launch was American. This statement,
however, is not worthy of belief, as the
launches belonging to the American war
sbiDs are easily distinguished from every
thing else After landing her sick sailors,
the Newark, under orders from Rear Ad-
Tiral Benham, sailed for Montevideo,
where she will be disinfected. 1t is the

IHE REAL TROUBLE.

Commenting upon the recent scoring
given by Judge Edwards to the defec
tive-eysi coustabulsry OF Lackawanna
county the Wilkes-Blrrs Record says
very truly: 1T is n notorious fact that
the liquor law Is violated in nearly
every city, town and borough in the
state, and yet the men whose duty it is
to report these violations completely
and contemptuously ignore that duty.
Right here in this city, under the
shadow Of the court house, the law is
violated every Sunday In the year with
perfect impunity. 1t is only natural
to presume that what goes on in
Wilkes-B ,rre and Pittston goes on in
other localities. Aud yet these sapisnt
constables deliberately close their eyes
to these violations of the law and have
the temerity to come into court and
endsavor to close the eyes Of the judges
also. The whole constable system is a
miserable failure in this respect and
the people ara heartily sick and tired
of il"
Much the worst feature Of this sys-
TEN is that it encourages violations of
the law in rural localities where the
agencies of law enforcement as a rule
are primitive and inadequate, In the
large cities. law and order leagues,
ministerial associations, and II ssnti-
ment Of law Observance spurrsd on by
numerous agencies Of progress aud re
