Additional Railroad Facilities.

Nashville Railroad Company has in con-
temptation the laying of Il side track or
spur on the river front adjoining the

A Solid Institution.

The Scranton State BsHk, under It's present
able management, has grown to be nm institu.
tion Of unques,ionable stability. II has fully
supplied all the needs for banking facilities Of
the mercantile and shipping interests, domes-
tic and foreign, Of Moss Point, Scranton and
Pascagoula. As the test Of merit Is success,
We can safely say that the bank is now estab.
lishcd an an absolutely solid foundations; and
that this Is 50, is mostly due Il the financial
and administrative ability Of its officers and
Mr.. II. NJ. Tumuer, its efficient and accom-
plished cashier. The marked success Of this
institution gives irrefutsble evidence as to the
great business progress II Scranton. In the
early part Of October next the bank will
break ground for the erection u its new brick
building.

That beautiful, cool and delightful summer
resort known to us to the manor born by the
affectionate title Of the "beach," but, to the
outer world as that of Pascaguula, though
having slumbered for years, has at last begun
to awaken to the fact that her sister coast
towns are leaving her behind in the race of ad-
vancement. That being the ease, our pretty
little sister village has determined to shake
from her shoulders the chains of indifference,
and to shine out as one Of the most beautiful
among the galaxy Of charming resorts.
Strangers in unusual numbers are now seek
ing and enjoying its heath-giv,ng breezes,
which come from seward across the CULTS
blue waves to greet them, and TO teach them
that life is worth the living when passed at
such a place as Pascagoula BY the Sea.

We lay il down as an ineOntestible truth
that the man who keeps a good hotel, where
the eyes Of the weary traveller are greeted
with every promise OF comfort and luxury,
with elegance combined, is a public benefac-
tor. That this title can be justly applied to
Mr.. James A. Miller, the genial host Of the
New Scranton Hotel, is but eehoing the oft.
repeated expressions Of all at home and
abroad, who have sat at his table or tested the
quality Of the various and exquisite refresh
menis dispensed BY the courteous and skillful
employees who preside over his mlatial Sal
loon. To the travelling public our worthy and
progressive host sends greeting, and takes
this opportunity to inform them that his hotel,
which is in close proximity to the railroad de-
pot, has been lately rebuilt, enlarged and
renovated in every department. Under the
new regime, there are now twenty well-ven-
tilated sleeping apartments, newly furnished
with mating and oak bedroom sets, and
ladies will find a handsome parlor, complete
in all modern appointments. For commercial
there are on the ground floor two
commodious sample rooms, where the
"knights of the Grip" may find ample space
to lounge in comfort or display their wares.
In addition to these enumerations is a neat
and well-arranged dining hall, with an CO..
tirely new set Of table and glassware, etc. To
those who have in the past pstronizcd this es-
adjustment, it is hardly necessary to give AS
surance that the cuisine win be unsurpassed
by any hotel on the Coast. Tourists and the
travelling public in general will lind IN the pro.
OF this excellent h~ostelry a genial, ac-
ccmmodating and liberal entertainer,

A Wishing Well.

There is a fine spring known rs the "Wish-
ing Wel' at the Point on Krebs Lake. II
stands IN high favor with the romantic Young
ladies who repair hither to expressthe,r wishes
and pray for their fulfllmcnt. II is currently
believed that there is great efficacy in the
charm presented by this spring, and that
wishes made there IN good faith Are frequently
realized. To drink the waters Of this magic
stream is to have realized MI the hopes which
tradition tells us are ever in the maiden's
breast. We would advise the fair ones to
visit that spring so that they may say we
have gone, we have seen and we hope to con-
quer.

James Murray alias "Gressy Jim" Hanged

On Friday last justice was avenged, and that
arch murd erer, James MURRAY, alias "Greasy
JIM" was hanged at New Orleans fur Tho kill
Ing of Officer Cutter. The details of the crime
and Of the pursuit, capture and trial of the as
sassin are fresh IN the public mind.
The execution was a just one, though the
bungling manner Of it Is much to be deplored.

minutes for the breath IL leave his body.
Murray was well-known on the gulf coast
having been born and almost reared IN
this section. lie leaves a sister, Emma Huff,
who lives ut Biloxi, and is supposed to have
kinsfolk living at Moss Point.

SUNDAY BASE BALL,
July "a, 1896.

An interesting game Of base ball was PLAYED
last Sunday ON the Scranton grounds between
a Mobile club on one side and a Scranton
team, reinforced BY four Moss Point players,
on the other. With the exception of a few un-
timely errors, resulting in a large scare on
10Th sides, the PLAYING was excellent and full
OF excitement throughout. Victory perched
upon the banner Of the local "combine," the
final score being 10 to 8 in their favor. The
attendance was large. Our bows were on
their good behavior, AMI as the visitors con-
Quoted themselves IN a gentlemanly manner,
the occasion was unmarried by ANY exhibition
OF asperit'cs, such as are usually attended on
the national game.

That "Yaller" WOlf-DOR,

That gigantic and fierce wnlf-dog, Zoozoo,
owned by Mrs. E. s. Whitaker, has passed to
the bourne from which no canine returns. lie
on Saturday last at Pascagoula and his
owners are left to mourn. Owing to this ami
mails propensity for INDUCING in cannibalistic
feats, few excepting his owners, will regret
his absence. This $1,000 dog recently attached
TO the neither extremity of Alderman
McFanls trousers, and much coercion was re-
qaired before he would loosen his hold. No
doubt he is now in the happy land Of Canine,
where the aldermen cease from worry aud the
small dogs are at rest.

Notable Celebration of a 18th Ami
versary--Yesterday's Storm.
epecial to The News

NEWPORT, Fen. 7.-Tonight Esther Rebek ah
Lodge. /. o. o. f., will celebrate its 18th an.
niversary in Odd Fellows Hall, and although
no elaborate program has been prepared, one
fitting the occasion will he rendered. There
will be q historical sketch Of the lodge by
Allen C.. Griffith, followed by n banquet and
dance. The lodge numbers 1913 members. and
Is presided over by Mrs. Fannie Weaver, noble
grand.
The storm struck Newport yesterday with
unusual severity, but as far as can be ascer-
tanned. no serious damage was done. 1t was
mostly felt in the barber, where there was
such a heavy sea on that shipping was gener-
ally suspended. 1t was so rough in the west
passage that steamer General of the Wexford
limo did not make ner late trip. The hurricane
signal was hoisted at the Custom House early
IN the afternoon. and from that time on the
wind tegan to subside, and before midnight
there was hardly any wind TO speak of.
Today there we'll be a busy session in the
District Court. the principal case to be tried
being the assault case in which the life Mt the
United States Hotel will play u most promi.
nent part. IL all the facts in the case come
out, IL will make as much OF a sensation as
Newport has known for some time. There
will also DO tried two criminal cases, one of
non.support OF family. end the other larceny.
There is talk of the Newport Business
Mems Association trying to induce the Hotch'
kiss Ordnance Company to establish its works
here. but such seems hardly creditabie. The
association is now occupied with evenings at
whist. and has no time or money to spend on
inducements.
The "72's." a new hose company, was yos-
terday established in the lower section Of the
city. the idea being to furnish hotter fire. pro-
lection for avenue cottagers. The company
is composed largely OF gardeners.

MES of lepers constantly exist
In other seaport cities when the disease
is found, IL Is generally laid to the door OF
some Immigrant, as scientists say. that
the microbe is hard to Ind except In the
places named. .
The cause OF leprosy is still a matter OF
discussion, even among the most learned
scientists. The microscope has revealed a
bacillus which can be found in all cases
of the tubercular form, and the disease,
II is said, is undoubtedly spread by the
incubation or transmission OF this germ.
The widespread dread of the disease is
based entirely upon Ignorance OF its ma
ture, and the leading physicians OF the
world claim that smallpox is 10 times
more contagious than leprosy.
The modern leprosy is the same in char
acter in whatever climate or region 1t oc-
ours, and corresponds with the descrip-
tion OF the disease given by the early
Greek medical writers.

What is evidently the first step toward
the erection of the new mill here is the
proposed Strengthening of the main street
between what IL known as saltwater,
near the residence Of Mrs. Christopher
Greene, ano the Arkwright store. The
present road will be closed and a new
one constructed to the north OF the pres
ent one and the land between the new
road and the river will probably be util-
izeo.a the site OF the new mill. The work
on the read will probably be commenced
early in the sprinp.

His Objection to Clerk
Hire.
Wants the Money for a North
End Street.
Chairman of Highway Committee
Doesn't Approve the Scheme.

Alderman Mccarthy has given out
another reason why he doesn't want
money to be spent in preparing the vot-
ing lists for the next election. He is on
his old hobby again, and the arrange
ments necessary to enable the 2o,oaS
voters of this city to exercise their fran
chise at the State election. If they want
to-, is Of trivial importance compared to
the desirability Of repairing some street
in the Third Ward-that is, in the opin-
ion of Alderman Mccarthy.
He objects to the appropriation OF 5000
necessary for clerk hire in the registra-
tion office and he said that he wants that
money to be transferred from the election
appropriation and used to repair Greeley
street.
Greeley street needs repairing; in fact
anyone will admit that Greeley street is a
disgrace. especially as a public school Is
located on It.
Chairman Freeman OF the committee
on highways says hat Greeley street
should be attended to, the same as a good
many others streets, but thinks 1t would
be absurd TO hold up the 5000 intended
for something else not as necessary. Mr..
Freeman voted in favor OF passing the
resolution and says that a man should
stand by that vote II the Mayor does see
tit to veto it. There isn't a dollar avail
able for building new streets and hardly
enough money to keep the old ones clean
ed and repaired. II highway work is to
go on money must be borrowed and
squeezing out the insignificant sum OF
$1,000 at the expense of some other de-
partment would do no good.
