Patrick McCune. a prisoner at the
county jail, died Sunday last. Con-
sumption was the cause. McCune was
sentenced last January to nine months
Imprisonment having embezzled funds
raised among the miners Of Forest city
for aid of q needy family. 1t Is not
known whether McCune was the pris-
oners' right name, but judging from his
actions during the last few days Of his
life II Is supposed that It is not, he
absolutely refused to divulge the names
or residence Of any of his relatives or
friends and in consequence he was
buried in the POtters'> field. He was

better days. If not wealth and atflueEce

be proud. The name Of w. L. Rogers.
| Of LanesborO, was also presented, but
before any action was taken Professor
Rogers withdrew. leaving the field
alone to Professor Moxley. Mr.. Pratt,
| therefore, moved that the secretary be
instructed to cast one ballot for Pro-
| fessor Moxley, but Mr.. Beardsley, Of
Little Meadows, arose to a point of
order. claiming the law specifically stat
| ed that the superintendent must be
| elected viva voce. Professor Moxley
was chosen in that manner. Professor
Moxley Is resident Of Hallstead. He
is a clean, healthy and ambitious young
man. To say that he will make a good
and efficient officer is but anticipation
and the county is to be congratulated
upon the selection Of one who will sus-
tain the high educational standard of
which Susquehanna county is 50 justly
proud.

Fahy is editor of Hungarian news

the business he sells steamship tickets

WOrl;mcn Remove the Sixth Avenue
Structure Yesterday.
The old Sixth avenue bridge was re-
moved yesterday and the neighborhood
looks very queer. The work of tearing
out the old structure was done by about
a dozen laborers in charge OF w. L.
Beers, Of Clark & company. New
York, and at five o'clock nothing re-
manned Of the bridge. BY tonight all
the old timber and material used In the
old structure will be removed and work
will be commenced at once on the new
bridge. Much of the new material Is
on the ground and Is viewed by many
curious people. But little can be
learned OF the imposing appearance the
new bridge will present from the ma
terial.
The work Of tearing down the Eighth
avenue bridge Will be commenced very
soon, in fact as soon as way cali be
arranged for the continuing of traffic
on the street during the erection Of the
bridge.

several laborers moved quietly UP the

flee and the men got out and in Few
minutes were at work digging the holes
necessary to put the poles in. No noise
was made, so when the people awoke

their very noses.
The poles were necessary to support
the other poles along the street on
which is strung the big cable.
