WANTED DICKENS TO SHAVE
Hans Christian Andersen n Guest n:
Gadshill.

When Dickens first met Hane Chris
tian Anderson in a London drawing
room he asked his fellow novelist to
pay him q visit at Gadshil. The in
vitation was promptly accepted and
the guest remained long time. Upon
many occasions. during this very pro-
tracted visit Dickens found his patience
nut to the test by his new friend. In
spite of Hane Christians many merits
and good qualities. his very marked
peculia rifles made him an exceedingly
difficult person to entertain. He -1vas
extremely sentimental and emotional,
and frequently, for no apparent reason.
would burst into a food of womanish
tears and rush away to his own room.
A few days after his arrival he rang
the bell and asked to see the eldest son
of the house The eldest son was away.
and when Dickens himself went to see
what his guest desired he found that
Andersen wished the eldest son to shave
him, that being the custom of his couln-
try.
Dickens explained that in the first
place young Charles was absent, and
that, secondly, 1t would be an expert
ment fraught with danger for him to
l. attempt the desired service. as, with
the very best intentions, he would pro-
bably nearly decapitate his illustrious
guest. Under these most untoward cir
ctimstances Hane Christian, weeping,
betook himself to the nearest BARRIERS
shop and had his beard attended to

From the Republican. Jan. %. 1885,
!. We are confident that with united Re-
publican support Colonel Ripple can be
elected, and to the Accomplishment Of this
1t now behooves every Republican to la
bor and exert himself. As the choice Of
the Republican party Colonel Ripple is
entitled to the support Of all who in good
faith adhere to the organization. and in
so far as lies in the Republican his sue
cess will be the object Of our most earn
est efforts. The interests Of the Repubi-
can party no less than the best interests
of the city demand that the party now
present a solid and united front. In this
spirit the Republican accepts the result.
1t will yield to Colonel Ripple as the can
didate of the Republican party, the same
earnest and sincere support 1t would
have expected from his and his friends
had Major Penman been successful.

Viaduct Question Is Cutting q Large

Scranton and Taylor.

Mixed with the regular political talk
there is a great flavor of the yiaduct
question in the present campaign The
viaduct working committee is hard at
work. Last evening u meeting OF the
voters of Bellevue Heights was held In
the Bellevue mission house and several
prominent gentlemen delivered ad-
dresses Morris Thomas presided. The
viaduct headquarters in st. Davtd's
hall Is busy at night receiving those
interested in the outcome of the cleo
, ton and arranging the details OF the
campaign. There has been hardly any
opposition to 1t shown. Only one man
has objected thus far and his real rea-
sons are readily seen.
The wisdom of Councilman divers
plan cannot be overestimated. II the
viaduct were built on the Nealis court
site. the people north of Price street
would receive no benefit whatever. But
as II will cross the railroad on Lacka-
wanna avenue, that Is If it wins, then
everybody will be benefited.

According to recent discoveries Of
German investigators. Ireland possesses
in her peat bOgs a remunerative and
extensive field for the employment of
capital and labor. These Germans
have formed a syndicate and are at
present exhibiting in London new pro-
ducts Of peat. which range from anti
septic wool to bearings and journals
for machinery.
The labor Of the chemist and me-
chanician is needed to effect the trans
formation of peat. The first process
which the raw peat goes through. after
being dried, Is that of being thoroughly
teased or "deviled" by machinery
when It presents the appearance Of an
exceedingly coarse brown fiDer, which
can be spun into yarn or woven into
wooden goods. The fiber for the finer
purposes is mixed with 15 per cent. OF
ordinary wool, but in most Of the ma
terials only the pure peat is used. The

SOLEMN HIGH MASS
For the Repose of the Soul of Our
Dead Representative TO Be
Offered.

Thursday next at 8 o'clock, a
solemn high mass will be offered up
for the repose of the soul of the Hon.
WIN. Henry Grain. The attendance
of his friends and admirers will, it
is hoped, be fitting expression of
their esteem, affection and gratitude
for the brilliant qualities, the noble,
endearing character, and the many
great and lasting services to this
congressional district, of the cher
ished leader whose loss we deplore,
and for whom it is now our duty to
pray.

and Mrs. Jose Celaya, aged nine
months and nineteen days.
The little one had been i'll only a
few days, but the best of care could
not stay Deaths hand. The sorrow

of all in the loss of their sweet little
daughter. The funeral, which occur

olic church, was attended by a large
concourse of friends of the family.
Four little girls dressed in white
served as pail bearers. They were
Misses Lulu Stowe, Octavia Seaman,

wood. The remains were inferred
in the Celaya vault in the Catholic
church yard. Rev. Father Vignolle

THEY WERE DEAR DUCKS.

While Messrs. J. B. Wells, John
Closner and w. F. Sprague were en-
route to Brownsville from Hidalgo
yesterday, Messrs. Wells and Clos
ner, taking their guns walked on
ahead TO try their luck at duck hunt
ing, leaving Mr.. Sprague to drive
along leisurely. They soon found a
covey of ducks swimming in a small
pond and both blazed away bringing
down four birds. The next question
was, how to recover the game? They
decided to go to a small jacal near
by and see if they could get man to
wade out after the birds. They found
the man and shortly after they also
found that the ducks which had been
shot were tame fowls belonging to
the same man. The nimrods settled
his bill at $1.25 for each bird killed
and rejoined Mr.. Sprague "well sat
isfied with their days sport"

JOHN B. EGLY DEAD.

A telegram received from Fort
Ringgold this morning by Victor
Egly announced the sudden death of
his son John b. Egly, who was found
dead in bed this morning by his
wife. He was post blacksmith at
Ringgold.
Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Egly and two
daughters started to go to Ringgold
by the NJ. & NJ. this morning, after
receiving the sad news, but missed
the train. 1t is said the remains will
be kept until the relatives of the de-
ceased can reach there to attend the
fune al.
Brownsville was formerly the
home of the deceased, and many
