A transient party of dealers in
clothing opened sale in DIR. Evans
building, corner of Main and Jeffer-
son streets, last Friday after taking
out a mercantile license for which
they paid the county treasurer seven
dollars. Ordinance 46 of the town
requires payment of a license of S5c
and in accordance herewith President
Greasy made demand on them for
that amount. Payment was refused
and the President committed them to
Jail. On Saturday they were brought
before Judge Ikeler on a writ o
habeas corpus, and on deposit o.
$50 by agreement they were released
until Friday when a hearing will be
held. The case involves the question
of the validity of the town ordinance

TIE FOURTH.

The Fourth passed off pleasantly
although the number Of people from
other towns was not up to expecta-
tons. The parade was very good,
the line extending from Market square
to the Normal School. w. c. No. $40
P. O. S. of A. received the Bible
prize for making the best appearance
Of any order in the procession. They
turned out in good form, and each
man carried red, white and blue
umbrella. The race between the
Friendship and Winona fire compan-
les was first awarded to the former,
but this gave SO much dissatisfaction
that it was agreed to run it over again
This has not yet been done. The
speech Of Col. T. r. Martin Of
Wilkes Barre, was listened to and en-
joyed by large crowd of people
The rain which began to fall near the
close of it, prevented H. A. McKilliE
Esq, from delivering his address.

Next Tuesdays Election.

The method proposed by the Town
Council to provide for the payment of
the town debts is the only feasible
plan that could have been adopted.
A defeat Of the proposition at the
election next Tuesday would lead to
numerous lawsuits against the town,
large bill of costs, higher rate of
interest than the bonds will draw, and
the levying Of a special tax for the
payment of the debt There will be
two sets of tickets printed, one read
ing debt may be increased &c"
and the other reading No increase
of debt The tickets should be fold
ed so that the words " Increase the
debt" will appear on the outside.
The election will be held at the usual
polling places, and in the same man.
ner as the regular town election
A lengthy article which discusses
the whole situation was printed in the
Daily Of Tuesday, and those desiring
fuller information as to the purposes
OF the election, should read it.
Attention is also called to a COM
munication in this paper today, which
discusses some things not heretofore
considered, and suggests the illegallty
Of the proposed election.
