The continued drouth has placed
many sections of the town In great
need of water. The supply OF the
Water company has been low for some
time, and unless We have rain soon We
stand In danger Of water famine.
The people of Peckville VINO are also
supplied by Archibald Water company.

their demands. and they have taken
steps to induce other water companies
to enter that borough. 1t Is said that
the Jermyn Water company IL willing
TO go there providing the patronage
they receive will warrant the expense
that must be incurred in going over
the distance between Jermyn and

Jermyn company intends to ask per-
mission of our council to enter on our
borough streets.

The Jury which was appointed to in

David jenkins met. and after very
short deliberation brought in the YER
diet that death was due to natural
causes. and that the analysis OF the

arsenic. and, as the body was yet warm

Mr.. Koepel was then sworn and told

cured by us to those that are now ailing

ANOTHER STRONG CLEW.
Dy Mantle and Caps Found in the Canal
Bed Yesterday.

It will be remembered by readers OF
The Tribune Of the frightful explosion
which occurred at the store of Gabriel
Puglanio some time ago, for which
Louis Scalzo, an Italian. who wanted
revenge for some imaginary wrong,
was arrested.
Most Of the dynamite at the time
could not be found and was said by wit
iiesses to have been thrown into the
canal. but although thorough search
was made, none could be found
However yesterday more evidence
was found which will prove very dam
aging to the prisoner. For some time
the canal near Van Bergan's foundry
has been undergoing repair and the
water shut off, leaving the bed Of the
canal dry.
Several boys We're playing In the
vicinity the other day. when one Of the
boys found a small tin box which was
found to be nearly full Of dynamite
caps. At the time nothing was thought
OF the affair but in some manner the
finding reached the ears Of Gabriel
Puglanio. who at once had a search
made. for the dynamite.
After considerable trouble 1t was
found. and the box containing it was
brought to Alderman Jones' office and
taken by Puglanio to Scranton, where
1t will be used as evidence against
Scalzo

Liverpool continued active, the spot sales
there being 1900 bales, at a rise of 1-16d,

rather unsettled and the speculation
lacks the snap which it recently eXperi-

and unchanged, with sales of 800 casks,
at 251sc.
Rosin-As in the case of spirits turpen-
tine, there was very little interest dis
played in the rosin market although
