THE Pine RtLsc Lumber Flu:le Is
the Grshtest In the World.
In emi-tropical Fresno county there
is a place which for risky, delightful
sport beats lAl the toboggan slides on
the continent Think of the exhilarat-
ing Coy of ah uninterrupted slide Of
fifty miles Though great forests, along
the Drinks ofprecipices and down rug
ged canyons amid the widest aud
most picture3que scenery to be found
in the count5y-tifty miles without
break!
Such a thrilling experience has been
made possible by the recent compile
ton ,of the sreat Pine Ridge lumber
flume. No other hume .surpasses it,
and it is doubtful If any ,other is equal
to it, in length and grandeur of the
scenery pass Id through in a journey
from the summit of one of the high
spurs of tha Sierra Nevada to the
plains beneath, fifty miles distant.
The fume has just been completed to
the little town of Clovis, twelve miles
north.of FRESNO, and is fifty-two miles
in length.
Fumes for floating lumber are so
numerous in california that descrip-
tion is superftous, except to say that
this is in general like all others, con-

two miles, it terminates in a vineyard
twelve miles out Oh the plains be-
yond the foot of the mountain. The
V-shaped trough carries the water
which floats the lumber
The aunle boats in which the rapid
journeys are made down the fumes
are simple. They are made the same
shape as the V-bo1es of the tlulnes.
The upper end of the boats is closed
by board nailed across, but the low
er end, which points down stream, is
left open to det out the water which
splashes over the sides of the boats

The afternoon session was presided over
by Luther Keller, of Scranton, the presi-
dent of the Baptist Young Peoples
Union Of the Abingdon Baptist associa-
ton. The subjects were all good and
were very ably presented by the diff

taken up with a discussion Of the diff

forth in the Christian Culture Course,
the Conquest Missionary Course and
the Sacred Literature Course, all Of
which are arranged so as to furnish q

fauire Atkinsoa's Exciting Experience
with Frank Flood.
Alderman ]. F. Atkinson. Of Cottage
afreet. was assaulted "Wednesday In a
North Main street business place. and
after on his way home an attempt was
made to stab him.
Mr.. Atkinson was seated in the store
with several companions talking upon
various topics. when Frank Flood en-
tered the place. and came back to
where they were sitting. Nothing was
said to Flood by any of the group, but
Atkinson says that he came up behind
his chair and without q bit Of warning
struck him several times with great
force. For a moment Atkinson did not
know what to make of 1t. and when
he finally recovered from his surprise
Flood had left the place. Later in the
evening Atkinson went before Alder
man Jones and had a warrant sworn
out for Floods arrest, charged with
assault and battery.
Soon after he started to walk home.
He was somewhat surprised on reach
ing Farrell's store. on Pike street. to
see Flood, who had evidently been wait
ing his coming, step out and again
commence to strike him. Atkinson,
however, was plucky and hit back and
would eventually have knocked Flood
out II that person, seeing how matters
were going. had not left the scene. II
Is claimed by Atkinson that Flood at
tempted to stab him, and shows a cut
In his overcoat which has the apDear-
ances Of being made with a knife.

ARCHIBALD

The marriage of Miss Mary A. Kear-
ney. Of Pine street. to Thomas Flynn,
Of the East Side, Is announced to take
place during the holidays.
Much complaint Is heard from those
who, travel on the street railways doing
business here concerning the wretched
accommodation at the terminus of the
lines. The booth located there is seldom
opened after 8 o'clock in the evening
and those who desire to travel on either
line are often obliged to wait in the
cold and dark at the most lonesome
and cheerless point In the borough The
gentleman who occupies the booth Is
not obliged to stay there at any time
but 1t Is possible that he may be in
duced to stay II the companies pay
him. The companies cannot expect
people to patronize them when they will
make no effort to accommodate the
people. There is no sense and little
money in running things according to
the present system. Nine times out of
ten the person who now travels on
the street railways a fter dark Is obliged
to wait from ten to twenty minutes
for car. and In the meantime run the
risk Of being assaulted or robbed by
the gentry that occasionally visit that
neighborhood There are no houses
within 100 yards Of the termini and 1t
is easily possible for such things to be
done. 1t Is the duty Of the companies
TO furnish better accommodations to
their patrons and 1t Is surprising If It
has not occurred to them that they are
losing money by their failure to do so.
The list of candidates for the various
cmces to be filled at the February elec-
ton is still increasing, and there now
seems to be some danger that the mania
for Office will spread to everyone in
town. Since the last announcements
we have the following: For school d.
rector. First ward. Max Klapfer and
Michael Baltes and Captain C. C. Bat
tenberg are named; for council, Philip
Behle is mentioned, and there may be
gentleman from the Ridge. From the
Second ward comes the names of
Michael Dean and William Mahon as
candidates for council and Thomas w.
LOTUS and M. F. Swift for auditor.
1t IL also announced that Michael
Toolin will be candidate for re-elec-
ton to the school board and T. J. Kielty,
James McHale and John J. Brogan are
said to be on the list. Thomas Siddon
may again seek election to the coun-
ell. This does not exhaust the list for
there will surely be others before the
time for the caucuses arrives.
There was not quorum Of the council
present on Tuesday evening, so no
meeting was held.

MOST PLEASANT SOCIAL.

Tho Baptist Endeavor Society Entertain
Their Friends in an Enjoyable Way.
A most pleasant time was enjoyed
by all present at the regular meeting
Of the Young Peoples Society Of Chris
tian Endeavor of the Baptist church.
The meeting was for the election of
officers, the names Of the candidates
being published some time ago. All
were elected.
After the business had been disposed
Of the meeting was turned into a So
cial, in which all took part. Objects
were displayed which, from their dis
scription, were found among musical
terms. This was very amusing and
produced much merriment.
The society was enlarged by the ad-
dition Of five new members, who were
admitted at the meeting. The social
committee will commence work soon
for the annual banquet which will be
given next month.
