THE BoRoUGH's S FINANCES.

Attention is called to the advertisement Of
the finance committee of the Borough Council
in another column. The proposed issue of
bonds is to take up the bonds maturing
January 1st 1896 and March 1st 1896
Those maturing January lst, amount to
$4,000, hcing the unredeemed portion Of
loan of $1,000, issued in 1884 to redeem
prior loan of per cent. bonds, while the
ones maturing March 1st amounting to
$1,000 were issued to provide for the expense
incurred during the epidemic Of smallpox
which ragged so yirulently during the winter
of 1ss3-sl, and cost the borough large sum
TO get under control.
Outside of the debt incurred in erecting the
water works, Sli5, 900, this is all the debt Of
the borough, and as the water works are
paying running expenses, and its eXtinguish-
mcnt is provided for by the tax of 8 mills
annually to be levied for that purpose, the
amount is small and the fact that bankers
in all the large cities from Boston to Chicago
are daily nquiring about it, the prospects are
il will command premium. As the bonds
are not redeemable until after fifteen years,
and may run thirty, they are a very desirable
investment, when it is considered that the
assessed valuation of the borough is very
nearly s225O, ,OOO-while the real value of
property is nearer 5000, 900.
In view of these facts it looks as if the
bonds would command good premium which
speaks well for the borough.

The Luzerne County Judges Decision VIII
Affect the Local Case.
PoTTsv1LLE, Dec 14--The decision of
Judge Lynch. Of the Luzerne county courts,
will have considerable bearing upon the pro,
ceedings begun here against Controller
Severn Inasmuch as the act creating the
Office has been declared unconstitutional by
the court of Luzerne no further steps will
likely be taken by the County Commissioners
Of this county in the quo warranto proceed
ings begun before the Attorney General
to oust Mr. Severn. The Controller Of
Luzerne county will take the matter to the
Supreme Court, and its decision will affect
both cases.
The conclusion of Judge Lynch's lengthy
and intelligent opinion is in effect that the
law is unconstitutional and consequently the
motion for an injunction is denied. The
ground for this finding as stated in sub.
stance by the court is that the duties OF
the Controller as defined by law conflict with
those of the County Auditors, and that the
law in reality removes the latter from Office
and takes their salaries from Them which the
Legislature has no right to do. the Auditors

Most Pronounced symptoms of Heart Dis
ease, and How to Secure Relief in SO
Minutes

The most pronounced symptoms of heart
disease are palpitation or tluttering of the
heart, shOrtness of breath, smothering spells

to breathe, swelling of feet or ankles, say the
most eminent authorities is one of the surest
signs of diseased heart. Nightmare is a
common symptom, spells of hunger or ex-
haustion 1t is estimated that 60 per cent. of
all cases of dropsy come from heart disease.
The brain may be congested, causing head
aches, dizziness or vertigo. In short, wEen-
ever the heart tiutters, tires out easily, aches
or palpitates, it is diseased, and nothing will
give such perfect relief or so speedily effect
cure as Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart. 1t

Mind Reader Tyndall Says He Will Rise
Again After Ten Days.
A special to the San Francisco Call
from Santa Barbara says:
Alexander McIlver Tyndall, a mind
reader, proposes to undertake to be bur-
led alive for ten days, at the expiration
of which period he promises to rise 1iv-
ing and breathing from the grave.
Tyndall's proposal is to be placed in
Theoretically sealed casket, being first
covered with clarified butter, sealing all
pores of the body and the eyes, mouth,
ears and nostrils. This work is to be
performed under the eyes of physicians.
The casket is then to be placed six
feet under ground, covered with earth,
grass seed planted and permitted to
spring above. The grave is to be guard
ed day and night, when, at the expira-
ton Of the tenth day, the casket shall
be disinterred and opened in the pres
ence of physicians who had witnessed
the interment.
The experiment is modelled after the
feats performed by an East Indian sect.
The proprietors of hotel have accepted
the proposition and intend making San
ia Barbara the center of the scientific
attention of the world during the period
of Professor Tyndalps burial

dali to the Worlds fair managers, but

Pontiac, Mich, is going a little
further in the enforcement of Sunday
laws than any other place yet heard
from. Restaurants, saloons, candy stores
and tobacco stands are closed on Sun
days, and ice cream dealers may not de-
liver their goods to customers on that
day. Now over hundred citizens have
signed petition asking that the livery
stables be closed, and yet another petit
ton has been circulated and extensively
signed asking that milkmen and icemen
be prohibited from plying their bust
ness on Sunday. There is a notion
among the Sabbatarians that the latter
petition is a device of the enemy, but if
so the enemy is working it very serious
ly and theoretically, and with a good
show of success.-New York Sun.

CLEVELAND SILVER SPOONS.
The Presidents Grandfather Made Them
In q Connecticut Village.

The Presidents Grandfather Made Them
In Connecticut Village.
William Cleveland, grandfather Of
President Grover Cleveland, was silver
smith in drowsy Norwich town among
the hills of eastern Connecticut and
deacon for more than quarter of CEN
fury in the village Congregational
church. The house in which he spent
his long life is still standing. His shop,
a weather beaten rookery, was torn down
several years ago.
The Deacon" as he was always ad-
dressed, was an expert workman, and
his goods were always in demand. As a
consequence the country families about
Norwich town have Cleveland silver
spoons in abundance, coming down by
inheritance from old time ancestors.
A Norwich town woman's legacy of
two of the spoons-exquisitely wrought
specimens of painstaking work-was re-
Gently transmitted to Ruth Cleveland,
and in return personal letter of thanks
was received from her distinguished IA
ther.
President Cleveland's great GRANDPA
ther, Aaron Cleveland, was business
man and politician in Norwich town in
post Revolutionary days. He was active
in speaking and writing and took the
lead in opposing slavery in Connecticut,
introducing the first bill for it's abol-
tion, and being dissatisfied with the
gradual emancipation measure adopted
in 1890. Later he became Congrega-
tional minister.
The old village records of Lebanon,
10 miles north of Norwich town, declare
that Mrs Cleveland is a great grand

anon woman. New York Herald.

THE CAUSE OF LABOR.

Yesterday Labor Day was observed
in thirty-one states. Several other
states observe it few days later, so
that in nearly all the states it is
recognized holiday. In the large
cities it was the occasion of great
parades, and in many places addresses,
appropriate to the occasion, were
made. Of course the socialistic ele-
ment in many places took advantage
of the occasion to flaunt their views
before the public and rail against
what they term the capitalistic
classes, but the effect from this is not
what it was few years ago. The

DAYS of Miracles Not Passed.

Farmer John Hedden of Verona,
N. j., believes the days of miracles are
not past. A few days since he moved a
large quantity of hay in the great field
at Caldwell. Next day he took several
teams to draw the hay home, expecting
to find it in an unfit condition for haul
ing without throwing and drying, as
heavy rain passed over the section the
night before. Mr.. Hedden was surprised
to find that not a drop of rain had fallen
on his meadow, while to the west, south
and east of his land the ground was sat
urated. - Cincinnati Commercial Ga

generation or so has witnessed many
an important change in the better
ment of the conditions of the wage
Garner. Taking our own country for
instance, not only has there been
vast amount of labor legislation which
has worked greatly to their advantage,
but there have also been an advance
made outside of this, which has proved
equally beneficial to the laboring
classes, and likewise to the advantage
of those who are employers of labor.
AS the Minneapolis Journal says:
"The tendency to favor arbitration
and conference is one of the most en-
couraging features of the situation,
This year has, in a marked way, re-
vealed the growth of the spirit of con-
Citation as between capital and labor.
Scores of disagreements have been
promptly settled by conference and
concessions. And then the attention
which is given now to labor co-part-
nership and cooperation is a crafty
ing tendency, either in the way of di
viding profits among consumers or di-
viding profits between capital and it's
customers and workers. This latter
has proved potential solvent..of labor
troubles abroad and is gaining ground
in this country. By this method the
right of the laborer to participate in
those profits is recognized and the
principle has been successfully carried
out in many localities"
