EeIItng Tree. by EI~csricity.

A very successful trial has been
made in Sweden to fell trees by
means of electricity. The process
is very simple, and consists in pass
ing platina wire round the stem
of the tree and heating it to a glow,
cutting through the same much in
the same way as one would divide
a piece Of soap with Irvine. One of
the chief advantages lie that the cut
end of the log being burnt gives the
log a better quality.

Supt. Davis has a small force of
men at work on the dredge, making
alterations on the old scow. The
machinery has been ordered for the
concentrating and screening plant,
and will be here in couple OF
weeks. This machinery when here
and in place. will be operated by
water power, this power being OBJ
tanned from the Douglass ditch,
which has been leased by the Dredge
Company. Work is progressing as
rapidly as possible, the only delay
being the non-arrival of the machin-
cry. The Company will make
things lively here this Summer, and
will be a great help to the town, as
it will put most of the idle men
here to work as soon as the plant
is completed.

ALart Child Ennna.

A family down in Florida lost
their child. and failing to find it
after two days, put 25 cent notice
in a newspaper and the next morn
ing were surprised to see an alliga-
tor OH the steps where he had dis
gorged their lost child alive, and
then died himself. They sold the
alligator hide for rs and the parents
are exhibiting the child at dime
museums for $50 dollars a week
Now ask yourselves if it is worth
while to advertise? Certainly it is,
for the above story makes it very

Can They Vote.

That the Australian ballot system
and the accompanying safeguards
thrown by it around the purity of
the ballot box are not always adapt
ed to the requirements of the situa-
ton has recently been strikingly
illustrated in Kansas. The Legis-
lature of that State has given the
women the proud privilege of voting
at the municipal elections, but un-
fortunately section of the ballot
law already in vogue before and not
annulled by the woman suffrage
act, threatens to reduce the new
vote to a minimum. The section
reads as follows: 1.-THE lower limbs
of the voter as high as the knees
shall be visible from the outside
while the voter ls in the booth pre-
pairing ticket, the lower, part of
the booth having to be left open for
that purpose. "-Er.

GROWING FEATURE OF ADMINISTRATION.
The last division encampment of the
Guard was held at Mount Gretna in
the closing year of the Beaver admins
tration. Since then the naval reserves
and signal corps have been added, in
creasing Its strength to 8,700 The
troops have been re-equipped and sup
piled with new knapsacks. The next
addition to the guard will likely be a
bicycle corps. The experiment was
tried at the encampment Of the Fourth
regiment at Columbia last summer and
was very gratifying to the adjutant
general. There are now on the file at
adjutant gsneral's department applica-
tons for the admission to the guard of
fifty additional companies, but they
cannot be accommodated on account Of
the limited appropriation.
Adjutant General Greenland pro-
poses to make the Gettysburg eneamp-
ment the browning feature of the state
administration, and with that end in
view he is working day and night in
order that everything may be COM
plete.

BRUTz MANS FATAL fall.
While Ascending Ladder He Tum-
bled to the Ground and
Broke His Neck.

Charles Brutzman, who was EN-.
ployed at a building at Harrison ave.
nue. and Olive street, fell from ladder
yesterday morning and broke his neck.
Death was almost instantaneous.
Brutzman was bricklayer and re-
sided at BAL Franklin avenue. He was
employed by Contractor Peter Stipp
and was at work on building that
gentleman is erecting for himself fin
ishing chimney.
He had descended to the ground for
material. and when again ascending
the ladder fell to the ground and was
killed. 1t is presumed that he was
overcome by the heat.
Coroner Kelley was notified, but did
not think 1t necessary to hold an in
quest. Mr.. Brutzman's funeral will
take place on Sunday afternoon from
his late residence. 341 Franklin avenue.
Interment at Forest Hill cemetery.

AMONG the POLITICIANS.

John Quinnan has as yet had no one to
dispute his right to the Democratic legis-
latlve nomination in the Second district
John Dowd. of the Thirteenth ward, is
willing to accept the nomination of the
Peoples party for legislature in the Sec
ond district his friends say.
The appointment of John Nealon as
postmaster Of Carbondale has been one of
the political surprises Of the week. 1t is
the first case where Charles Robinson q
Endorsement was ignored.
There seems to be some doubt among
the Democratic leaders as to whether or
not a candidate will be nominated to op-
pose Judge Archibald this fall. The nomi-
nation will be conceded to ex. Judge Smith
ifhe cares to take it, but those who should be
in position to know aver that he has
not thus far expressed very strong de-
sire to be candidate again.
From present indications Fl. 7. Koehler
will probably have no opposition for re-
nomination for the office of register of
wills by the Democrats. He believes he is
entitled to IL inasmuch as he has during
his term divided the netreceipts of 1t with
his Republican opponent, Mr.. Hopkins.
That wa9an agreement arrived at after
the last election to avoid contest.
John II. Thomas says he is too busy to
take vacation, but it's his duties as clerk
Of the courts and not politics that keen
him in his office these perspiring July
days. He ia not paying much attention to
politics. he declares, Tor the weather is too
warm. He declined to say whether or not
he would be renominated. but smiled as
though it was forgone conclusion.
Prothonotary Pryor Is not taking an ex-
tended vacation this year. While no one
has appeared as yet to dispute his right to
q denomination by the Republican party,
Mr.. Pryor seems to think it is good policy
to be on the ground In case anything
should occur. When asked yesterday il
that was the reason why he was attending
to his office duties with such faithfulness,
he replied; "No, that's not it. want to
give Kasson and the rest Of the boys an
opportunity to have vacation this year.
II there's any time left, pll use it up my.
self"
A plan is being discussed among Demo-
Gratis to have the legislative county and
senatorial conventions rolled into one
this year and let one set Of delegates dc
all the work. Those who favor the plan
say that before or after the county con.
vention completes it work the delegate,
from the senatorial district could put
their heads together and decide upon a
candidate. The delegates from the ieRis.
latiye districts could do likewise. The
great drawback to such an arrangement
is that 1t would probably take several
days for the delegates to complete their
work.

Laurel Hill Musical Festival.

In another column will be found re-
vsed official programme of Laurel Hill
musical festival, which is to be held on
Thursday and Friday, Sept. and Z, 1894.
The singers will please note carefully the
conditions Of the various contests These
conditions will be law and any deviation
therefrom the contestants will make at
their own risk. No less than six Catholic
church choirs will compete on Mozart's
"Gloria." Male parties from Slatington,
Utica, Pttsburg, Wilkes-Barre, Plymouth
and Hyde Park will compete on 'The Mar
tyrs of the Arena" Three female parties
are already rehearsing their beautiful Sc
lections, and no less than five Of the
greatest bands in the state will participate
in the contest on Zampa's classical over
ture by Herold. This competition alone
stamps the musical proceedings of the
coming festival the very highest in the
musical category Of great contests. The
prize in this contest is $500, and the chief
prize in choral singing is 5000. That this
will be the creates musical gathering that
has ever occurred in Scranton is fore
gone conclusion. The band contest, the
choral contest, the Catholic church
choir contest and the male and female
party contests will be the most spirited,
exacting and famous that have ever oc-
Cured hereabout. Great preparations are
being made by the committee to make it a
model festival, and the committee is being
heartily encouraged by the community.
