tional law on the subject of trade marks
should be altered and made more stringent,
so as to protect them further than they are
protected at present from unfair and fraudu-
lent competition. In conclusion he gives a
table showing the results of the vine harvests
in the department of the Gironde in each year
since 1884. In that year l78. 500 900 bottles
were filed, while this year the Number bad
risen to $685. 900. This was a great ad-
vance on the four preceding periods, which
were comparatively bad years owing to the
plague, which NJ. Kehrig declares to have
been quit overcome.

He Does Not Come to Bloomsbury.

A travelling man who lives in Tow
anda, remarked in our presence on
Sunday last that during every month
he visited about three hundred towns.
He did not know in any one of them
that there was as much building as is
going on in Towanda. Since the banks
only pay two per cent. for money, it
seems to pay better to put money into
buildings, which pay at least six per
cent. if properly handled. - Bradtord
Argus.
Towanda is certainly a thriving
town, but it is evident that the travel
ing man above referred to does not
come to Bloomsburg or he would
know that there is more building going
on here than in Towanda, or most
any other town of its size in the State.
BY the way, Brother Parsons, doesn't
that story about visiting three hun
dred towns every month strike you as
pretty good one That is ten every
day in the month with no allowance
for Sundays. Pretty active travelling

Building and Loan Association.

In the early history of building So
cieties they were organized and al
most wholly managed by mechanics
and laboring men managed honestly,
conservatively and successfully, and to
this class belongs the honor Of origi-
mating, conducting, and carrying to
point Of magnitude and usefulness,
scheme that commands the admiration
of fnanciers the world over. The
honest thrifty home seeker has proved
himself to be the best citizen so far as
managing building society is con.
cerned. When failures have occurred
in building societies, one of the main
causes has been the introduction into
the management Of financial ideas,
emanating from the brains of theoreti-
cal bankers. Nearly all if not every
error introduced into the scheme are
scholarly errors, always accepted under
protest by the mechanic or small store
keeper.-Philadelphia Press.
The Industrial Building and Loan
Association of Bloomsburg is purely
mutual "home affair."" organized and
managed on the same plan as Phila-
delphia local associations, which have
been in successful operation for fifty
years. The Industrial has over one
hundred members, whose savings in
less than three years amount to over
$3o,ooo.oo, which is loaned to part
of the members in amounts of $2oo 90
to 100000 each, secured by first
mortage. Through the advantages af-
forded by the association many of the
Improvements Of our town have been
made possible. Those who owned a
lot have been able to build house
thereon and by paying dues instead
of rent will soon have home of their
own others are saving part of their
earnings by paying dues and will thus
create fund to buy lot or home.
Dues are only $I.oo per month on
each share making it possible for any
to become members who desire to
save part of their earnings. The

A NEW ELECTRIC ROAD.
Shckshinny and Benton TO be Joined by
the Trolley.

A writer in a Wilkes-Barre paper
has the following to say about an cleo
tric road from Shickshinny to Benton {:
But Shickshinny will take on big
ger boom when the enterprise which
is uppermost in the minds of certain
capitalists, who live in the borough and
back on the beautiful turnpike leading
to Patterson Grove, materializes. 1t
involves no less a scheme than the
building Of an electric railroad from
Shickshinny to Benton, twenty miles
away. Those interested have been
talking the thing over for good while
and it would have been put. into force
before this were not the State law reg
ulating freight traffic prohibitive so far
as electric roads are concerned. But
a CLEAN of sunshine begins to bright
en- up the hopes Of the pioneers who
long to fly over the beautiful hills
about Huntington Valley, and it comes
in the assurance that the next legisla-
ture will grant the same privileges to
the trolley lines as are now enjoyed by
the steam system in this State. 1t is
generally understood that SO long as
the big railway people were kept out
of the ownership. of electric roads
that their influence with the law
makers at Harrisburg would be strong
enough to embarrass the managers Of
electric roads in their efforts to secure
freighting privileges, but now, since it
is heralded that the big railway cor
porations have at last got in on the
ground floor, and are carrying a good
ly amount of stock and bonds of the
long lines reaching out from Phila-
delphia In several directions, virtually
gridironing the territory for hundreds
of miles, with certainty of further
encroachments, the hope Of getting
law passed permitting trolley lines to
carry freight inspires the Shickshinny
and neighboring people to renewed
efforts.
And what a magnificent line that
would be from Shickshinny to Ben
ton 1t is proposed to build it over
the splendid turnpike, whose excel
lence is traditional and whose views
alone are worth going far to see. 1t
wouldn't take long to lay road down
on such a sure foundation. The terri
tory needs such road too. The
freight business alone would be enor-
nous. The fertile farms would find
an easy and economical outlet for
their rich harvests. Its dairies would
be greatly benefited and its orchards
| yield handsome profits. Such road
would connect at Benton with the
branch steam railway there and thus
augment the travel to and from Shick-
shinny. Bruce Coleman's place would
take on a new lease of life, and while
| it would look as if the owners of the
turnpike, who last year pocketed
nearly 10 per cent. dividend, might
hate to yield such neat income up
the fact they are nearly all in the
trolley scheme shows that there would
be no difficulty in this respect

FISH COMMISSIONS WORK.
Over o ZOO. 900 shnd, White Fish,
Perch, Etc. Hatched This Season.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. = COMMISSIONS
Mcdonald. of the fish commission, says
that despite. the difficulties experienced in
the work of ~propagating and raising fish.
owing to drought and excessive heat the
work of the season has been large and
will compare favorably with the records Of
previous years. Over 600, 900. 900 fish of vari-
Gus kinds have been Matched and loosed
under the auspices OF the commission.
There has been about 100. Co., 900 shad, 1000
600 white fish, 100000 perch. besides smaller
numbers of a great many other species.
The commission believes as a result of its
work that the benefits of Matching and
planting fish would be UNNECESSARILY in
creased by holding the fry until they be.
rapacious fish In the waters where the fry
are loosed are responsible for the loss of
millions annually. This year about two
million shad were held in the fish ponds of
this city and will be loosed into the
Potomac as soon as cold weather arrives.
There has been a noticeable falling off in
white fish in the great lakes despite the
fact that some two hundred million are
Matched by the United States and State
artificial Matching the commission believes
that white fish in the great lakes would
disappear. This falling off is attributed to
as a food fish. Tie fry loosed are preyed
upon by the pike and pickerel, and it is
probable that rearing places will be es-
evil. Some 100000 salmon eggs nave al
ready been taken at the Pacific coast
hatcheries this season. The most remark
able increase of work done under the
auspices of the commission this season has
been at Woodshul,. Mass. where nine mil
lion Holsters have been bred and loosed,
an increase of 1000 per cent. over former
years. In a few days the commission will
send to Wilapa bay, Washington, a car
load of Eastern oysters with a view to
experimenting on the Pacific coast in their
production. Efforts to propagate oysters in
San Francisco bay have hitherto proved TO
he a failure.

startling charge that an employe or Laird

and with whom there were negotiations
pending for an exchange of property, the
defendants to put in a note for 1880 and
make some other concessions. tn answer

1894, by a fire which was set and kindled
by the plaintiffs. their servants and en-
ployes; that ii occurred wholly and solely
by reason of the carelessness and negligence
