SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 80, 1s94.-A fierce
'norther'' swept over the counties of North
eastern Pennsylvania after midnight, last
night, accompanied by sleet and snow. The
snow drifted badly in deep railroad cuts and
all trains are running behind time. In some
instances they are abandoned altogether or
stalled in drifts. This is the case mostly on
the Delaware and Hudson Gravity Railroad
to Hondesdale and on the jefferson branch
of the Erie, north of Carbondale.
The Delaware Lackawanna and Western
north is open, but south is blockaded by
drifts in Lehigh Cut on the Pocono Noun
tains.
Crews were sent out this morning to cut
away the drifts. All the street car lines in
this city and in the Lackawanna Valley are
blockaded.
Telegraph and telephone wires are down.

EVEN RATS HAVE A VALUE.

Almost everywhere in the world, except in
Paris, rats are considered as troublesome
nuisance to be gotten rid of by any means
possible The Parsians, on the contrary,
convert this nuisance into useful member
of society and source of revenue. In Paris
rats are collected from every possible source
and placed in a great pond, where the carr
cases of all animals dying in the city are
thrown. These remains are speedily dispos-
ing but the cleanly picked bones. There are
no such scavengers as rats. Four times q
year these rats are rounded up and killed,
and their skins are utilized in the every where
admired form of CANT de Paris, to decorate
the hands of loveliness the world over.

LENGTH OF BIRD LIFE.

Small tinging birds, technically known as

years, provided they meet with no accident
Ravens have been known to live for more
than one hundred years in captivity. and
parrots even longer. The average life for
the common barnyard fowl is seventeen and
a half years, geese twildl 100, and swans 800
years. Ornothologists believe that the ex-

birds is natures plan of compensation for
their feeble fertility and for the great NOR

A Plea for Bows.

Such was the title of Bob Burdette's
lecture, or social chat, at Kotzschmar
Hall, in the Gilbert Lyceum course last
evening. There was good audience
present, and the lecturer evidently had
them with him from the start. The lee
turer' plea for boys was good one. He
said that boys sorrows and griefs were
of as much Importance to them and even
more than those of grown people. He
claimed as much regard should be paid to
boys comforts as girls by their parents
and showed how a mean room and sur
roundings might make boy turn to evil
courses because the latter were made at
tractive to him. But it would be impos-
sible in brief to give the many good hits,
witty sayings and pungent home truths
the lecturer delivered.

Montevideo, February 13.-Additional
particulars have been received from Rio
Janeiro OF the insurgent attack upon
Armacao last Friday morning. In
surgent launches carried strong forces
from Conceicao to the landing place in
half an hour. The attacking party was
not discovered until the officers began to
land their men. There was heavy firing
for some time and then the government
troops reiterated, leaving forty men and
five officers captives and six officers and
fifty or sixty men dead on the field. Be-
tween A. 80 and O'Clock about 1000 gov
eminent troops were brought up to the
aid of the garrison, and. the com blned
forces advanced under a heavy fire from
the machine and Krupp guns on Caju

THE NOTE ON THE CARD.
The Police Unable as Yet to Solve the
Mystery Tt Has Caused.

Daniel F. Campbell, the man who was
supposed to have left the card on Gus
tom house wharf Monday, saying he was
about to commit suicide, has been as
certained to have been in Portland Mon
day in company with VIM. Jackson, who
was once employed here as tinsmith.
1t was by Mr.. Jackson that Mr.. Camp
bell was introduced to several persons,
Jackson saying that he was employed by
Campbell. Mr.. VIM. Fl. Scott, by whom
Jackson was once employed, was one of
those to whom Campbell was intro
duced, and Mr.. Hutchinson was an
other. Both Campbell and Jackson have
disappeared for all that the police can
ascertain. Diligent enquiry has failed to
show where they lodged or how long
they were in town. The card found on
the wharf indicates that Campbell COM
mitted suicide, and a remark made by
him is another piece of evidence point
ing to that conclusion. Mr.. John Bren-
nan, of Al Middle street, says that he
met Campbell on Pearl street either Sun
day OF Monday. and in reply to ques-
ton by Campbell as to the route to the
water front, told him that the Grand
Trunk wharves would be the most inter-
esting place to visit. To this Campbell
replied ''Any wharf will do for my pur-
pose.'' AS MI. Jackson has not made
inquiry for Mr.. Campbell, it seems prob
able that the two men had separated be-.
fore Campbell started for the wharves
and that Jackson, who may have left the
city, is in ignorance. of the finding of the
card on the wharf A telegram was re-
ceived last night from the chief of police
Of Philadelphia saying that brother of
Mr.. Campbell was on his way to this
city.

Experimt uts at tho Maine Station.

L4pcflMt us at tho u1dluc SbdGlOns
Accounts of experiments with cab
bages, tomatoes and eggplants come
from the Maine experiment station.
Trimming cabbage plants at transplant
ing gave uncertain results. Plants
handled in pots before setting in the
field were earlier and better than those
grown in boxes. Nonesuch did well on
the station grounds two years.
Without exception, the average num-
Der of fruits and the average weight of
the product per tomato plant was in di.
rect ratio with the earliness of setting,
direct confirmation of results OBJ
tanned the previous year. The average
weight of individual fruits was not es-
sentially different in the first two set
tings, but was decidedly less in the
last lot. Covering clusters of fruits
with paper bags did not cause the fruit
to ripen earlier. Marked differences
were observed in the number and weight
of fruits from duplicate lots of the
same varieties.
A true hybrid variety of tomatoes
was produced by crossing Lorillard
with Currant. The best variety grown
during the season, all things consid-
cred, was the Optimus. Among the
best varieties for general use are: Red
-Optimus, Perfection, Ignotum. Loril-
lard. Pink-Potato Leaf, Beauty, Long
Keeper, Mitchell and Stone are desir-
able, while Richmond and Yellow Vic
tor do not appear to be of special value.

last February and 81, 321 ,453 in February,

gold, 6O.3 per cent in silver certificates
and the balance was divided up among
other classes of money. With the sale of
bonds, the treasury has not only gained
gold, but gold certificates, having now
on hand of the latter S497, $50. There is
no likelihood of the treasury resuming
the issue of gold certificates, as there is
no good reason to believe that the gold
in the treasury will long remain above
the 800, 900, 600 mark. 1t is only 81, 000, 600
