Generosity of Mr.. Bead el.

Mr.. Frederick Beadel has gener-
ously donated number of books to
the Milford Lyceum Association.
There are several historical volumes,
standard poems, and number of
novels. Altogether the collection
will add largely to the value and in
terest of the library, and Mr.. Beadel
deserves the thanks of all who wish
to see this association widen it's
scope for usefulness in our COM
munity. It cordially invites patron
age and certainly our people cannot
lend supportsboth moral and finan-
cial to any object better calculated
to advance the literary tone of our
society than to aid this association.

ing or information of the approach
ing train, and stepped on the track
directly in front of the engine. The
other womon saw what she thought
to be a shadow and drew back the
train barely missing her

COL. JAMESON INTERVIEWED.
A Times representative inter
viewed Promoter Jameson in the
Burnett House later in the evening.
Asked for an estimate as to cost of
completing construction the con-
tractor thought about $4,000 per
mile would be about the figure. He
did not know at the present time if
the old Page route would be used or
not, but thought that the route as
recently surveyed by Engineer A.
F. Carricl, would be the most FEAST
bic, as it touched all the industries
in that portion of the county. The
Page route is nine and five-tenths
miles long and the Carrick survey a
mile or so longer
Col. Jameson is one of the best
known railroad men in the country,
having built the Catawissa road from
Milton to Williamport, a distance OF
thirty three miles; the northwest
branch of the Catawissa to Wilkes
Barre, ,forty-fye miles long ; Blooms

Young shad Liberated in the Dslsware.
The United States Fish Commits,
:sioneEs have liberated 100000 young
shad in the Delaware river near Mil
ford. The abundance of this excel
lent fish during this season has de-
monstrated the wisdom of protect
ing them, for not in many years
have so many fine shad been taken
from the river here. There We're
many of them salted down OF
smoked. for summer use.

The complexion of the men and
women in the Puget Sound country
is said to be very clear and their
skin is moist and smooth. This is
due to their cloudy weather and to
their humid atmosphere. The dry,
dusty weather of the interior Of
Washington with its abundance of
sunshine produces an opposite effect
upon the residents. The contrast is
striking. A barber in Olympia says
that if he were blindfolded he could
tell every subject from the interior
who should sit in his chair by the
.dryness and harshness of his hair.

AN OLD PROJECT REVIVED.

In Connection with the Delaware valley
n. r.. would Be short Cut to Phila-
delphia.
The talk Of building a steam rail
road from Stroudsburg to the Wind
Gap has been revived and meetings
held to further the scheme. Col.
John Jameson, of Bloomsbury, and
A. F. Baker, of Norristown, Pa.
Both railroad contractors, are pro
noting it. A committee was ap-
pointed, and the following was writ
ten and signed by the committee be-
fore adjourning:
''At a meeting of the board of
trade and citizens of this town, as
sembled in the Burnett House, for
the purpose of taking steps towards
the building of railroad from
Stroudsburg to Wind Gap, the fol-
lowing proposition was made by
Messrs. Jameson and Baker, viz :
That for every dollar that the citi-
zens of the county would subscribe
to the enterprise, the said contrac-
tors agree to bring two dollars. The
amount necessary for the people of
Stroudsburg and vicinity to raise
was fixed at $4,000 and the follow
ing committee was appointed for
the purpose of visiting the business
men and property holders and soli-
citing subscriptions for the stock.
The committee are of the earnest
opinion that the railroad would be
of untold benefit to this borough and
through the portions of the county
in which it will run. This is the
best proposition we have had and
we should do all in our power to ac-
eept the proposition of the contrac-
tors and push the railroad to COM
pletion.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. J..
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: Il
have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. Kings New Discovery, as the re.
suits were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While | was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox.
ysms Of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DIR. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results -

OhIO'S SHIP CANAL.
Congressman vanvooris Wants Its Mouth
at ZanesvilIe.

at Zanesville.
Washington, March 7.-Representa-
tive Van Voorhis today introduced in
the House resolution directing the
Secretary of War to make all necessary
surveys, estimates, &C., for building a
ship canal from the mouth of the
Muskingum River at Marietta, o.,
along the line lately reported on by a
Board of Army Engineers, and known
as the eastern route.
This route goes by way of GAINESVILLE.
For this purpose s25, 900 is appropriated.
The resolution was referred to the Com
mittee on Railways and Canals. 1t is
not likely that any action will be
taken on it by the House, but Mr. Van
Vooris, who has for years worked to
advance the interests of the canal pro-
ject, is working actively to secure a
favorable committee report on his re.
solution.

MAcKsnURG FIELD.

MAcKsBURG FIELD
The John Worrall & Co well on the
Stevens farm, drilled in few DAYS
ago, was shot Monday and is fair
producer.
The Chapman & Co. well on Jeffry
was shot Monday, but no news has
been received from it since the shoot
ing.
Longfellow Bros. & Co. will have a
we'll in Wednesday on the Wharton
farm. The we'll was cased Monday.
The Dunn well on Ogle, near Dexter
City, is reported to be good for % to
80 barrels per day.
The Kackley well 3 miles northwest
of Point Pleasant, Guernsey county, is
down about 900 feet, but has had Il
fishing job for month past.
The Lewis Ogdin well will prove a
big factor in the Waverly field, judg-
ing from the excitement it has already
produced and the new development it
has been the means of bringing about.
Mr.. Ogdin, the owner of the land on
which the new well is located, was in
the city yesterday, and received con-
gratulations on all sides. He esti-
mates the production of the well at 100
barrels day, and that is a very conser-
vative estimate.
The Ogdin farm is under lease to
three different parties, viz: 7. n.
Barnsdall, Afford & Baer and Pitts
burg company. All these parties will
develop their leases and six wells will
be put down as soon as the material
can be placed on the ground.
Afford e Baer, the owners of the new
well have their No. 2 located, the rig
up and ready to drill and the rig will
at once be built for No. 3. Barnsdall
has located two wells and will begin
drilling as soon as he can get the rigs
up and the Pittsburg people have also
made two locations
These will all be deep wells and, we
are informed that other deep wells will
at once be drilled on adjoining leases
and probably some of them will go
down to the Gordon sand.
Waverly promises to be deep sand
field of considerable consequence

Ohio at st, Louis,

Cincinnati Tribune: "Ohio will go to
st. Louis at the head of the most en-
thusiastic movement in the history of
national conventions. Those who are
commissioned to present the candidate
of this state will find themselves lead
ing an army as firm and irresistible as
the historic phalarx of the Austrians.
The enlisted come from every state in
the Union. Every Ohioan who is chos-
en- to represent this state in the great
council of the party next June will be
worthy of the trust. No Republican
from this state would either dare or
desire to betray that trust Ohio will
have there the brains and courage of
the party. Such men as Joseph b. For
aker, Governor Bushnell, General Chas.
HI. Grosvenor and Marcus A. Hanna
will be the delegates at large, and
every district in the state will send two
men whose fidelity and discretion will
make them fit advocates of so splendid
cause. The Tribune congratulates
the state and the nation upon the pres
ent prospect of the presidential cam
paign-the state because her worthiest
son seems within reach of the highest
honor political party can bestow,
and the nation, because there is prom
ised in the next administration an era
of commercial and political advance
ment under the peerless American
whose name has become the synonym
for protection prosperity and patriot
ism.''
