BinghamtOn Industrial Exposition.

Among the large agricultural and in
dustrial fairs, the big Fair" at Bing-
hamton, N. Y, is one of the best. 1t
will be held for four days, commencing
next Tuesday, Sept. Sth. Special excur-
sions at a low rate will be run during
the week from Scranton. Everything
indicates that the 1896 fair is to be the
grandest in the history of the associa-
tion. The exhibits will be many and in
great variety. Among other attractive
exhibits will be an electrical display in
Guiding the Y rays apparatus and many
new and startling effects. This enter
tainment, although provided at great
expense to the fair management, W.. be
free to patrons. Never since the first
fair held in Binghamton has there been
so much interest manifested in the trot-
ting, pacing and running races, and
lovers of races, that are races in earnest,
will not be disappointed. The amuse-
ment programme is to be one of the
most costly and exciting in its thrilling
variety that was ever arranged for out
door attractions. There will be balloon
ascensions each day. A large platform
is erected in front of the grand stand
and a performance will be given daily
by a number of talented and noted ar
lists, including thrilling feats on the
double flying rings, balancing on the
slack wire. hand balancing, juggling,
tumbling. somersaults and double con-
tortionist feats; also a troupe of per-
forming dogs and monkeys. 80

County Liquor League Decides on Of
Important Step...Will Organ.
he Permanently.

At yesterdays meeting of the dele
gates of the various branches of the Re-
tail Liquor Dealers league of Lacka-
wanna county 1t was decided that at
the meeting two weeks hence a perma-
nent county organization will be ef-
fected, with headquarters located in
some one fthe main office buildings in
this city. A salaried secretary and or
ganizer are to be engaged and other
steps taken to place the organization on
tsaple and permanent basis.
The good work that has been effected
through the medium of the weekly con-
ventions of the county branches impels
this move. The boycott against the
breweries who refuse to stop selling to
unlicensed places is working admirably
and the mandate of last Friday affect
Ing the bottlers is being generally OBJ
served. At yesterdays meeting num-
Der of the bottlers sent in their ac-
quiescence to the mandate and it Is ex-
pected that before next Friday, when
their time for compliance expires, that

NEWS FOR FIREMEN.

The firemen of Lackawanna county
will enjoy a trolley ride this evening un-
der the auspices of the Firemen's I'm
ion, whose excursion to Lake Ariel
takes place on Monday. The car will
start from the Crystal company's house
at 80 O'Clock.
Negotiations for hotel accommoda-
tions during the firemen's convention
at JohnstOwn in October have been
nearly completed by Vice-President
Goodman. The Scranton contingent
will be quartered at Hotel Kantz, q
new and popular hostely on the post
Office square. Owing to the limited
number of hotels and the large number
of fremen who are expected to be in
attendance it was necessary to guar
antee for fifty persons. On that account
it has been requested that those who
are going to Johnstown communicate
with Isadore Goodman, either by letter
or in person, as soon as possible. The
Firemen's Union will not engage quar-
ters or more than fifty. A reasonable
rate has been secured and the commit
tee is hard at work to make the trip
an enjoyable one.

Is A VICIOUS BIRD.
Captive Eagle to BE Release d in
COnncll Park.


In one of the windows of Butterman
Rice's cigar store at the corner of
Lackawanna and Washington avenues
a large black American eagle has been
on exhibition for two weeks. The bird
is about ten pounds in weight, meas
six feet from tip to tip when the wings
are expanded, and is very vicious, SC
much so that a person who goes close
to her, will be apt to go blind for the
rest Of his life, or be minus his nose or
ears. She feeds on raw meat and live
mice, gulping the latter down without
chewing them up.
Her talons are sharp and strong and
her beak is as sharp as the point of a
stiletto. When any person manifests a
desire to tease her by pointing his
finger or rafting the wire netting which
surrounds the window. she stamps on
her perch like n madman. Even Mr.
Butterman and Mr.. Rice, who feed her
do not get familiar. They pass the meat
into the cage on a pointed stick three or
four feet long. She enjoys q morning
meal of mice better than anything else
they can give her, land they try to crafty
her appetite every day.
Albert Simonson, of Ledgedale, Pike
county, caught her in trap a month
ago and two weeks ago presented her
to Messrs. Butterman and Rice. They
feel that the creature should be allowed
freedom and tomorrow afternoon at 3
o'clock will set her at liberty from the
observatory in Connell Park. They
have fastened light iron tag on one of
her claws on which is lettered, ALBERT
Butterman and A. L. Rice, scranton,
Pa, Sept. 6, 1896"
The reason she will be let go from
the observatory is to foil those who
want to shoot her. They will not be al
lowed to fire within the park enclosure
and it will be hard to shoot her after
she scars away UP over the territory
outside the park.

FINED THE CONSTABLE.
North End Alderman Exercises Au.
th0rity Not Vested in Him.

Constable Bernard Davis, of the
North End, is angry. and he threatens
to make it warm for somebody before
he gets through. Edward Griffin, OF
the North End, also, had n lawsuit
against someone or other in the Second
ward. He had writ he wanted served
and he took it to Constable Davis.
Dr. Davis refused to serve 1t, because
the man to whom it was directed did
not live in the First ward, that being
the bailiwick of the constable. Mr.. Grif-
fin brought an action against the con-
stable before Alderman Roberts, of the
Second ward. The alderman gave
Judgment against Davis in the sum of
$40 for refusing to secure the writ, and
also issued capias to commit him to
the care of the sheriff until he paid the
money.
AttorneJs Hulslander & Vosburg, re-
presenting the constable, yesterday
took out a writ of habeas corpus in
court and Judge Gunster fixed Monday
morning for a hearing, and let the con-
stable go on his own recognizance. The
constable is deliberating upon whether
or not to bring action against the al
derman for Illegal Imprisonment. The
law upholds a constable in not going
out of his ward or district to serve
papers IL he doesn't want to.

Monday night and his-chanee for re-
covery Is doubtful.
County Detective Leyshon was in
formed of the case yesterday and after
swearing out warrant for Cerney be-
fore Alderman Wright, of this city, he
took Constable Timothy Jones, of the
West Side, with him and they went up
to Jessup looking for the assailant.
Stutzman claims that he was on his
way home Monday night and was held
up by Cerney and two others. They de-
manded his cash, but he refused and
proceeded to fight his way clear of them.
He got a blow of a stone on the head
and was rendered unconscious. His
boarding boss went out looking for him
late at night and found him on the road
unable to speak. He did not fully re-
gain his senses until Thursday and then
he accused Cerney of striking him.
DR. Beck, of Jessup, was called to at
tend him. There is a confused wound
four inches long on his head. No ar
rests had been reported up to late
hour last night.

POLISH CASES CONTINUED.
Alderman DOnOvan's Court Was
Packed to the Doors.

There was hearing last night in the
office Of Alderman Donovan in the Re-
publican building, on Washington ave-
nue., in the arrests of the twenty-one
disturbers who attempted to stop the
organist from playing at the late mass
in the South Side Polish church last
Sunday. There was an error in the
date on which it was alleged that they
broke the law and they were dis
charged but they will be arrested again
this morning. 1t was a clerical error,
but enough to compel the alderman to
discharge them. The warrant charged
them with disturbing the services on
Sunday, May 3O when it should have
read August 30.
Alderman Donovan gave the thirteen
defendants a hearing on the charge of
violating a city ordinance by using
boister0us, loud and profane language
on the public streets. The extreme pen
atty for this is fine of S25 each. These
cases came under the head of summary
conviction.
Over two dozen witnesses were sworn
and testified that the defendants were
loud and profane and shouting If Father
Aust would not give the keys of the
school house to lick him." Eight wit

MIS-. Helen NJ. WXflan.

The many friends of this worthy
woman were pinned to learn of her death
which occurred at her home in the south
part of the town on Saturday evening
last, Feb. Is. She had been in failing
health for over a year, but the end came
unexpectedly. She WAS born in New
port, and WAS the last of the children OF
James and Lydia (Whiting) Patten.
Her first husband was Merrill Williams.
Her residence for some years WAS in
Boston and Amesbury, Mass. There
was one son by this marriage, George
e., who is well known resident of our
town. After the death of Mr.. Williams
in Gardiner. she returned to her early
home in Newport.
Seventeen years ago she was married
to Charles Wyman, a prominent and intu-
ential farmer of this place. During these
years of her residence she WAS widely
known and beloved. Her kindness won
her friends among the young and old.
Her hospitality made her home most
pleasant resort. Christian in spirit, and
gracious to all, she will be sincerely
mourned by those who felt the gentle
influence of her life. Her death is a
great blow to all her friends, and falls
with special severity upon her husband,
whose life has been one of multiplied
bereayements, She will be greatly miss
ed in the circles In which she moved.
The funeral took place ON Wednesday
forenoon, and was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. c. V. Hanson. There WAS a
large attendance. The intelmeut took
place on the south side. a good woman
rests from her labors, and her works do
follow her.
