Effect OF Weather on Crime.

Professor Willis L. Moore, in recent
lecture, cited statistics to show what a
great effect the weather conditions have
on crime. There is larger proportion of
crime in the hot months than in the very
cold ones, although there is much more in
ducement for crime in the winter. From
the records compiled by weather bureau
official a few years ago it was found that,
while there were !, 900 suicides and $500
murders during the three warmest months
of the year, there were but / 200 suicides
and l, roo murders during the three coolest
months.

his wife and three sons lived on the
third floor, and David OConnOr, his
wife and three men boarders lived on
the top floor The second floor was va

One Of Mr.. McLaughHn's sons is a
conductor on the Belt line cars and is
obliged to rise early His alarm clock
went off at o'clock in the morning,
and Mclaughlin, aroused, found the
room filled with smoke. He awoke the
other members of the family, who
started to rush down the stairs. They
found that retreat had been cut off in
that direction.
The elder Mclaughlin ran to a front
window and shouted A policeman
heard him and gave the alarm.
In the meantime the Mclaughlin
household ran to the rear of the house
and crawled out Of the window upon
an extension, where they dressed and
waited for the firemen, who took them
down from the extension by ladders. -

Recollections of Tragic Episode Of tie

Mexican War.
The story of the congressman who
could not exactly remember how the
poem about Marcos BOzzaris was worded
reminded Colonel Walter H. French,
the file clerk of the national house of

was once the occasion of fatal duel
during the Mexican war.
ED Marshall, said the colonel,
"was gallant soldier as well as a fine
orator One night in his tent with the
army down in Mexico he began to recite
with considerable dramatic force, as APP
propriate to the occasion, the Marco
Bozzaris poem. lie had just begun the
lines

Marshall that he challenged him upon
the spot.
"a duel was quickly arranged and was
fought at daylight. Marshall killed his
man. Whenever l hear the poem, can
not help but recall this tragic episode. -

NO FINER TICKET.
From the o!yphant Gazette.

''''i 'iS OsS pHdnl bdzGlte,
NO hner ticket was ever presented to
the people of Lackawanna county than
that offered by the Republican party to
me voters this year. They are all men,
true ana tried, either in the office sought
OF IN other positions of trust and useful
ness ana no better platform was ever
more deserving of ratification AT the poIIs
NO doubt the majority in the county this
year for the ticket will far exceed any
heretofore given on "off" years and we
hope the names Of the county ticket wiz
come close to the magnificent majority Of
year ago.
