one-half inch in dcpth-and evaporates
very rapidly. Rapidity of evaporation
is greatly TO be desired, not only on
the score of economy of time, but
because the sooner the sap is con-

An Australian savage comes up to
an Irlshmans idea of human SKILL for
"he bates the bees" A native seldom
fails to get honey when he discovers
the bee he has been watching for. The
following description of n natives bee
hunt is given in Mr.. Arthur's Kan
garOo and Kauri:'
Warluyal!ah, the chief of tribe.
went with two little nets to a small
pool filled his mouth with water, and
then lying down, his head hanging over
the pool, he remained quiet for an hour
apparently looking at his own refiec-
tiCn in the water. Then the hum of a
bee was heard. Buzz-z-z 1t went over
the pool round the blacks head, now
on one side, now on the other, and now
close to his ear; but not a motion be-
traycd the hee-hunter.
But when the bee. dropping close TO
the water, gave notice by the change
of its tune that it was about to sip,
the chief. with snort, squirted the
water from his mouth over the little
"buzzer" Before it had time to re-
cover from the unexpected douche, he
seized it deXterously by the wings
Then he prepared it for the chase
by fastening to it Il bunch of wild cot
ton with some gum. The bee was let
go: it made for the hive, slowly at
first on account of its novel burden,
which impeded its progress and showed
sign in the air for the chief to follow.
Over bramble and brake went the
chief accompanied by the men of his
tribe, and in half an hour halted at the
foot of an immense gum-tree, into
whose top the bee had gone.
The chief mounted quickly, but cut
ting notches into the bark with his
stone tomahawk. In a short time he
brought down a quantity of honey
comb. small piece only of which con
I tained honey. The Australian bees are
stingless.

West Market Street Paving Resolu.
tiOn Laid ON the Table.

ton Lana ON the IaDles
Common council killed Mr.. Roche's
upper branch resolution looking to-
wards the paving of West Market
street. While the motion to lay the
measure on the table was before the
house President Grier took the floor to
present a petition signed by nearly all
the West Market street property own
ers. praying that common council would
not concur in the action OF the upper
branch.
MIR. Sweeney evidently thought that
the chairman proposed to make some
grand stand plays before his constitu-
ents. who lined the rear Of the room,
and as there was a good opportunity to
get In q body blow on his ancient en-
emy he raised the point Of order that
motion to table was not debatable. and
MIR. Grier had to take himself. his
speech and his petition to the rear Of
the room. When. however, the motion
to table was put Mr.. Sweeney voted
AYE" louder than all the rest put to-
gether. and thereby made himself solid
with the constituents of Grier.
THOSE NEW STREET CLAIMS.
Mr.. Sweeney. however, got one played
on himself little later. Mr.. Gordon
introduced u resolution directing the
city to settle the New street claims on
an IS per cent. basis. but as Mr.. Gilroy
is one of the heaviest claimants for
the damages in question, Mr.. Sweeney,
who has reorganization grudge
against him, also. succeeded In killing
the resolution. Before the meeting was
over Mr.. Sweeney withdrew with sew
eral Of his henchmen. and. following
the example of the Dunn adherents on
the memorable paving contract night,
Mr.. Gordon succeeded In having the
resolution reconsidered and passed, sew
eral of the Nealls faction voting In the
affirc,ative. because. as they said them
selves, they wanted to teach their lead
ers that they must learn to stay till the
meeting Is over when there Is a fight
on.
Mr.. Zeldler's idea of remedying the
evil Of keeping the city labOrers waiting
until nearly the end of the month for
their wages, is to empower the city con-
troller to sign their warrants as soon
as they are approved by the street COM
missioner and the councilman Of the
ward He embodied the Idea In a reso-
luton and 1t passed.
Select councils action in awarding the
Capouse avenue sewer contract and the
contract for paving Ninth. Robinson
and Jackson streets was concurred in.
Mr.. Nealis secured the passage OF a
resolution directing the city engineer
to secure options on the property neces-
sary for the widening of the roadway
at the intersection Of Seventh and
Scranton streets.
TO MUZZLE THE DOGS.
Mr.. Seamans introduced a resolution
directing the mayor to enforce the or
dinance relating to the muzzling Of dogs
and 1t was unanimously adopted.

nue.; directing the transfer of $ll,S0O,

Mrs. Sarah Grimes, an unfortunate
woman whose name is dotted all over

dead yesterday morning In a house kept
by Hattie Barnes on Canal street,
wilkes-Barre. She was well educated,
intelligent and bore evidence Of refine
ment.
One of the inmates smelled All olor
Of gas, and going up stairs went into
one Of the rooms where she found
man and woman lying on a bed dead.
They had been suffocated by gas dur
ing the night which had escaped from
an open jet.
The police were notified and took
charge Of the premises. They found
the victims almost naked. their faces
drawn and discolored, the scene being
q shocking one. The woman was heavy
set and weighed about 10 pounds and
from appearances she was about 40
years of age. Pinned In her dress was
found pawn ticket from the pawn
shop of Joseph Green, Scranton, which
read: Mrs. Evans, your note for 80

ed that she was Mrs. Grimes and not
Mrs. Connors and was released Last
evening 1t was shown beyond doubt
that the dead woman was Mrs Grimes,

here.
She was about 40 years Of age, rather
below medium height, and although dis
sipation had played sad havoc with her

must have been hers during the earlier
and happier years of her life. England
was her birthplace and after finishing
her education she became q school

for several years until she married Mr..
Sillman. 1t was not q fortunate ven-

named Grimes for her second husband
and for a number Of years they lived In
