What Has Been Done.

Under this head much might be cited
in favor of the department for the past
year, especially when we take into con-
sideration the fact that out of an appro-
priation Of four thousand $4,000 dol
lars for the year 1894, we find by the
city's books that on 4 Dril 10th 1894,
we had but $2167. 16 to our credit with
which to transact the business of the
street department for the balance of
the year, certainly not very encourag-
ing; yet it might be we'll to call to your
attention some Of the more important
work done during the year.
II new crossings have been laid,
(mostly 3 inch.)
80 blocks have been gone over with
the grader.
81 blocks of new ditch have been
opened at curb line.
36 brick catch basins have been
built.
80 pipe catch basins have been built.
Main street bridge has been re-
planked throughout. g in.)
A new truss has been placed on Mid
die street bridge.
Middle street bridge has been partly
replanked.
Ann street bridge has been re-
planked.
Much expense has been entailed in
putting Market square in its present
condition.
Market street east of Main has been
cut down.
Strong street has been piped and i'm
proved from Bond street to Jerome
creek.
The gully at the south end of Con
gress street has been piped, filled in
and opened to traffic.
So posts for street signs have been
made, painted and placed in position.
All old box culverts have been re-
placed by s and 10 inch pipe. All old
lumber from Main street bridge, cross
ings, ETC., has been with few excep-
tons, distributed among the poor fami-
lies of the city, under the direct super
vision of the chairman of the pauper
committee.
The tools turned over to me were,
without single exception, practically
useless for the purposes for which they
were intended. They have been re-
paired and put in good shape as posi-

Grading.

The question of grading streets will,
taking into consideration the newly an
neXed territory, be one of vital import
ance during the present ear,and in
this connection desire to call to the
attention Of your honorable body that
the grader now owned by the city has
been in use for some time, and that al
though in good condition at present, it
is too light for the work to be done; it
being almost impossible to do good
work with it on the majority of our
streets. ] would therefore respectfully
recommend that one of the latest i'm
proved road machines be purchased for
city use. Taking into consideration
the territory now covered by the city, it
can not but be apparent that itwill re-
quire almost the constant use Of a road
machine during the coming season.
The question of good roads must not be
lost sight of.

The struggle tor political leader
ship in the state of Pennsylvania
still continues. The Republican
party needs a leader and the people
ofSnyder county would rather kneel
at the shrine of Quay than to be
hoodwinked the second time bv the
artful Governor.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Gov ernor is receiving the condem
nation of the many people whom he
deserted, Senator Quay is not OPP
posing him. Senator Qnay has
told the Governor that there would
he no opposition to the Governors
Inspiration 10 become Chairman OF
the convention. On the contrary,
the Governor said he could not sup
port the Senator, as he had promis-
ed Col. Gilkeson. And who isCol.
Gilkcson?
Born, and bred in obscurity in
Bucks County, Senator lifted HMM
to prominence. He was appointed
Banking Commissioners at Il salary
of $4,000 year. Where is the
voter in Snyder county who makes
lS4, 900 II year? But is this all ?
No. The Governor urged the pas
sage of a bill increasing Mr.. Gilke-
sons salary 10 $4,000. Voters of
Snyder county, what do you think
of that?
You will have the privilege ON
August third to express your choice
for permanent Chairman of the
state Central Committee. Mr.. Gil
keson is endorsed by Governor
Hastings, Lobbyist Magee and the
Hog Combine. Senator Quay is
endorsed by the free and indepcn-
dent thinking people Of the state.
The Governor ut the opening of the
Legislature cal | G d for economy,
yet he approved every bill that
would give him prestige in securing
delegates to vote in favor ofpublic

balance and choose tor yourself.

dress, enter a short distance behind

spray is so binding, the din so
deafening, and the current of air so

The discharge of Niagara Falls is
computed at 100000 cubic feet per
minute. For about seven miles be-
low the Falls, the river descending
10l feet, varies in width from 7j0
to !, POO IT,, flowing through raviue
with perpendicular banks 300 to $50
feet high. At Lewiston this gorge
ends and the river passes on its
peaceful course to Lake Ontario.
! After leaving Table Rock on the
Canadian side we crossed the river
and entered Prospect Park where
we took last, lingering, longing
look at the Falls. Our route was
complete and we directed the driver
to take us TO the hotel. In the eve
ming the proprietor gave ball to
the members of the editorial party.
Early on Friday morning we
boarded special train of observa-
tion cars furnished by the n. Y.
Central r. r., a company that did
everything in their power to make
our trip a pleasant one. Their tour
st agent remained with us from
Tuesday when we reached their
lines until Friday night when we
left them. This special train ran to
Lewis ton, where we boarded the
"Chicora," steamer headed for
Toronto via OF Lake Ontario, a dis
tance of 40 miles. 1t was SO cold
out on the lake that men wore over.
coats. We reached Toronto, the
capital of the province of Ontario,
at 1890 We visited the parliament
buildings and the University of To-
ronto before dinner. Our boat, the
Chippewa, left Toronto at 2 p. IN.
This made our stay at Toronto a
brief one. A noticeable feature
about our trip was the persistence
the Canadians used in always giving
Canadian money when making
change. All their money passes AT
par along the border, but tourists
will be prudent to dispose of their
Canada money before returning TO
the interior of the states. The
Chippewa" is very large steamer,
too large to land Mt Lewiston, so
we were compelled to be transferred
at Queenston. Here the Custom of.
ficer boarded our boat to examine
all suspicious looking packages in
order that no material be brought
in from Canada in violation to the
tariff laws. Arriving at Lewiston,
the special train of observation cars
hastened us back to Niagara Falls.
Here partaking of our supper we
boarded special train of Pullman
Sleepers bound for Harrisburg. BY
request of the writer the special
train stopped at Selinsgrove June
tion and permitted him to reach his
parental home in Selinsgrove at 6: 30
on Saturday morning for breakfast.

trip.

Hotel Olympia.

1t is with pleasure we announce
that the elegant Hotel Olympia has
passed under the management OF Mr..
c. E. Smith. gentleman of twenty
five years experience in some Of the
leading hotels of the country, among
which we may name the Bates House,
of indianapolis, the famous Winsor
Hotel, Of New York city, the Del
Monte, of Monterey, the Willard, of
Omaha, the Washington Park Club of
Chicago, the Hotel Green, of Passa-
dena, the Tacoma Hotel, OF Tacoma,
and the Hotel Northern, of Seattle.
He is q young man of energy and pos.
sesses an ambition to make the Olym-
pia one of the leading hotels of the
Pacific Coast, an endeavor in which he
should, and doubtless will, receive the
cordial cooperation Of our people.
He is assisted in the arrangements by
his wife, who has likewise had consid-
cradle experience as an entertainer.
Every detail of the service will be un.
der their personal supervision, and we
conscientiously believe that it has fall
len into the right hands to command
the patronage of the travelling public
and for making it the pride of our
people. -

distance on the level, he could turn on
the power and let the spring give back
some Of the energy stored up in it.
| don't see why this could not be
done. 1t could be arranged so that
the spring could be wound up gradu-
ally, SO as not to make pedaling much
heavier when on level, and should,
/ think, be of sufficient power to carry
rider 900 feet or so on good road
with no up grade without his doing
any work.
"Ies, ] believe that the system OF
driving tricycles by storage batteries
and electric motors will undoubtedly
be in Use in a short time, perhaps two
or three years. Storage batteries have
not yet been devised that would be
light enough and small enough to be
carried on bicycles, but l believe that
batteries powerful enough to send a
tricycle. 20 or % miles and return on
good roads, could be made to weigh
not over 60 pounds. A motor weigh
ing 20 pounds would probably be SUI
ticiently large to attain with this size
battery fair speed on p level road.
A few years will probably see the sys-
tenn applied to trucking goods in city
streets.
II believe" said Mr.. Edison, "that
it is a matter of only few years at
most before hundreds of miles OF spe-
cial bicycle roads will be built with
single-line trolley wires overhead.
Riders will have motors on their
wheels, which can receive current
from the wires by trollies, so that
quick spins may be taken. This
would open up new field of pleasure
and usefulness to the devotees OF the
wheel"

Walla Walls, for services as Indian
fighter, has been reduced, which A.
fords an opportunity for asserting that
no pensions should ever have been

have suffered bodily injuries from mil

there is no reason in establishing a
