affected with tuberculosis.
There is a provision of the law to
which tax collectors should give strict
need. They are all required to give bond
Tor the faithful performance of their
uutles and their bonds must be filed on or
cefore the last Monday in April. On fail
ure 10 hle his bond tax collector forfeits
MS o1hce. When filed it is good for one
year only, and must be renewed annually.
Every year some of them overlook this
provision and have to petition the court
Tor their appointment As new men are
elected in some of the townships and
ooroughs OF the county il is likely there
viii be some who will wakeG up to their
DUTY in this particular after il is too late,
II they do not give heed TO the advice here
rendered them.

her two little daughters, aged respective

Fire at ADaugIer,

fire which broke out in a smoke house
on the premises of Mr.. +. NJ. Binder, at
Spangler. on Sunday morning a o'clock,
caused a loss of about 50 ZOO. The build
fngs destroyed were all the property of Mr..
Binder They consisted of his hardware
store, which contained the postoffice, his
residence stable and outbuildings. There
was some powder stored in one of the
buildings and this caused the people who
turned out To fight the fire TO be very
wary, fearing an explosion. Little was
saved except some furniture from MI.
Binders residence. 1t has not been learn
ed if the mails were all destroyed or not,
but all registered letters and other yalu-
abies are supposed to have been in safe.
Mr.. Binder carried 81 100 insurance in the
Cambria Mntpal company, and about 81
200 In other companies.

On the Way 10 wIIIfamsport.

The river drive, with Anthony Flynn
in charge, passed here on Friday after
noon. There were about 60 men in the
crew and they kept the rear" moving
right along. The drive is hung up at
FulUon's dead water awaiting a flood in
the river. We do not remember of the
drive being so far down the river so early
IN the season in any previous wear, the
range of time heretofore being from April
till June. About 45,OOO,OOG feet were put
in above this point, not nearly so much as
in former years. The timber is about run,
and a flood or two would allow the logs to
be put INTO the boOm.--CLedrtfeld Repub-

NEW YORK. May 15-Chicago Gas and
Sugar absorbed over one-third Of the total
sales at the short session OF the stock ex-
change today the dealings being about equal
tie to encourage selling in the course of the
price for Chicago Gas that the motive for 1t
must be attributed to doubts of the value
Of the stock being equal to the price. There
were, in fact, evidences of heavy liquidation
in that stock, based on apprehensions that the
consolidation measure will fail of enactment
in the Illinois legislature, and with 1t the
arrangement for division of territory with a
rival company which was made contingent
upon its passage. Stop orders were reached
on the way down, bringing large books Of
stock on sagging market. Sugar also showed
weakness on the probable effect Of pending
proceedings against members Of the company
for contempt Of the senate, but recovered
the loss. The grangers also were subjected
to special attack by the bears on account OF
the weakness of the wheat market. There
was but little encouragement to buy In the
course Of the London market, where Ameri-
cans were largely neglected and prices were
as to what phase the Cuban question may
have taken on by the time trading is re-
sumed Monday. The impression prevailed in
the street that the intention of the adminis-
tration towards Cuba was in formative state,
with a possibility Of taking on an aggressive
tone.
The anthracite coalers displayed some firm
ness, due to covering Of shorts over Sunday,
and only trivial changes occurred in their
prices. The Gould shares also manifested a
continuance of the strength they displayed
Yesterday, but 1t did not outlast the day. and
their prices declined in the later dealings in
volving them in net losses. There was a
general covering movement at the close Of the
session, which rallied prices slightly nearly
all through the list from Is to " per cent,

Some of the extreme declines were Chicago
