TOWN ADVERTISED FOR SALE.
Belongs to Glendon Iron Co., Whose
Furnaces Have Been Long Idle.

Easton, June 3.-The whole town Of
Browntown, consisting of eighteen
houses and three farms of 1876 acres,
located about two miles from here, is
advertised for sale. The property be-
longs to the Glendon Iron company,
whose furnaces at Glendon, nearby,
have been idle for the past few years.
The houses, when the furnaces were in
blast. were occupied by the Glendon
companys employees, but since the fur
naces became idle the town has been
uninhabited.
The Glendon furnaces were among
the most profitable industries in this
part of the state, and employed several
hundred men, whose wages were spent
in this city. The abandonment of the
furnaces has always been felt here, and
there is no telling whether they will
ever be started up again.

THE MEDICAL CONGRESS.
Relief Association for Poor and Disabled
Physicians...Dr. Keen's Paper on
the Advance 10 Surgery.

Philadelphia, June 3.-The medical
congress, under the auspices of the
American Medical association, began
the third day of it's session this morn
ing with the formal jubilee exercises,
commemorating the semi-centennial of
the association. DR.. Horner of Phil
adelphia, reported in favor of the es-
tablishment of a relief association for
poor and disabled physicians, and a
committee will be appointed to carry
out the project.
The report of the board of trustees
showed the receipts of the year to have
been $43,505 expenditures, $41,S11. DR..
w. w. Keoe, of Philadelphia, presented
a paper on surgery. 1t was a review of
the advance made in surgery since the
birth of the association. Particular at
tention was given to a description of
the modern hospital, the great growth
and advance of American text books
and American systems of surgery The
establishment of laboratories of re-
search was vigorously urged and mer-
chants, the speaker continued, should
be made to understand that from a
business point of view, as We'll as from
that of a humanitarian, there is neces-
sity of assisting in such a step rather
than risk the loss of millions in case Of
an epidemic.
DR.. Keen paid a glowing tribute to
American medical libraries, and par
ticularly that of the surgeon general
of the United States army. This, he
said, it without an equal in the world,
and is always at the command of the
humblest practitioner. The remainder
of the paper dealt specifically with the
introduction of the modern aids to sur
gerry, and a strong protest was made
against the passage of the Anti-Vivi-
section bill now in the senate. This
was enthusiastically applauded.
At the conclusion of DR.. Keens ad-
dress, the jubilee exercises were be-
gun. The presidents of all the State
Medical societies and the presidents of
state boards of medical examiners
stood in a double line extending from
the Green room of the Academy of
Music to the center of the stage. Each
wore a yellow ribbon. At a given mo-
ment, escorted by Dr. John Roberts,
of Philadelphia, N. S. Davis, of Illinois,
the aged founder of the association.
walked between the two lines to the
front of the stage. The delegates. their
wives and daughters, rose to their feet
and gave the veteran doctor a. rousine
reception.
DR.. Davis read an address giving a
brief history of the origin, growth and
principles of the association.

a terrible beating administered by the

found him awake.

attempted to decapitate him with a
hatchet. He rose up just in time to re-
ceive a terrible blow on the head.
Thinking she had killed him, the wo-

Harrisburg, June 3.-Only the house
met today and its first attempt at n
session was failure. A quorum was
not secured until o'clock. The bill re-
quiring social and political clubs TO take
out a liquor license passed second read
ing.
The Bliss horizontal bill was taken
up for second reading and a spirited
debate followed. Mr.. Coray, of Ihl-
zerne, said he was opposed to sending
the bill back to committee IL it was
intended that there should be substi-
tuted for it a measure taxing oleo.
Chairman Bolles, of the ways and
means committee, in moving to recon-
init the bin stated that it had never
been read in committee and that 1t
was brought out with the understand
Ing that 1t was to be sent back after
1t had been printed. He declared there
would be no need of such a law If the
senate passed the revenue bills sent to
1t by the house. The revenues for the
next two years will be sufficient to
meet the appropriations, if they do not
exceed those of two years ago. Mr..
Bolles' motion was adopted and the
house went to work on the calendar Of
local and special bills on third reading.
THE SIMON BILL.
The Simon bill was again brought
before the house on a motion of Mr..
Moore of Butler to reconsider the vote
by which 1t was defeated on final pass
age.
Mr.. Mansfield appealed to the house
not to reconsider the bill He said 1t
was u "snaky" measure all the way
through and that there was not a sen
tence in it that means what it says.
Mr.. Harris, Of Clearfield, was also op-
posed to the measure because it was
in the interest of a lot of bankrupt
electric light and water companies
which are seeking to unload their
plants upon municipalities.
The motion to reconsider carried by
vote of 92 to 81 and further consider
alton of the bill was postponed.
A motion that all second and third
reading bills be dropped from the cal
endar was offered by Mr.. Moore, of
Philadelphia, and promptly defeated,
after which the house adjourned until
this evening.
STEP TOWARD ADJOURNMENT.
The first step toward final adjourn
ment was taken at the evening ses-
sion by the adoption of a resolution
reported from the rules committee,
making the order of business at Mon
day nights sessions senate bills on
second reading. This disposes of more
than one hundred house bills on the
calendar for second reading unless the
committee fixes a time for their con-
sideration. Many members voted for
the resolution without knowing its
meaning
Mr.. Focht of Union, secured a spe-
cial order for his BILL providing for
the return of paupers and INDECENT
insane persons not having a legal set
tiement within the commonwealth to
any other state or county to which
they may belong. The bill will be read
the second time Monday evening, and
considered on third reading Tuesday
morning. a bill was introduced by Mr..
Kerkeslager, of Philadelphia, appro-
priating S500000 to improve the Phila-
delphia harbor and dredge the Della
ware river.

AN ALDERMAN'S ODD MANIA.
Thought He Owed Everybody, and
Settled I'm. Too.

Pittsburg, June 3.-Alderman Edward
Klotz, of the Twelfth ward, Allegheny
City, was confined to the insane ward
of st. Francis hospital today. He has
always been an unique character and
the leading spiritualist in the two cities.
He heard all his cases with his spirits
and mediums around him.
He appointed his daughter, a beauti-
fui young woman, his constable, and
had her serve subpoena3 wearing
boomers and riding a bike.
His latest idiosyncrasy was the belief
that he owed everyone money and
wanted to pay off his debts, which he
did in cash and checks.

Cruelty to Animals.

X Pa, one of Paine's watering-cart
men, was arrested yesterday morning
on the charge of cruelty to animals,
sworn to by a certain citizen of Homo
lulu. 1t seems that Pa filled his cart
too full of water, and when coming to
a slope on Beretania street, yesterday,
the poor mule that was hauling the
water, was lifted from the ground by
the load. The citizen in question called
to the man and told him to empty out
some of the water, but he refused to
answer. The warning that he would
be arrested had no effect, so the citi-
zen proceeded to the Police Station
and had the man arrested. The case
will come up in the Police Court this
morning.
