UP.THE.vALLEY REPUBIIcANISM.
Big and Enthusiastic Gatherings at
Jermyn and Priceburg.

The reception given the speakers at
Jermyn and Priceburg, the unbridled
enthusiasm, the densely packed halls
and the undisputed spirit of Republl-
canism which featured the two meet
ings, all combined to make another link
IN the chain of evidence that the towns
IN the upper valley are going to stand
firm for the Republican ticket next
Tuesday.
AT Jermyn the meeting was held in
Enterprise hall. Its seating capacity
is 300. but the hall was crowded and
many were standing, so that a con-
servative estimate placed the attend
ance at 400. Attorney John F. Scragg,
Hon. John r. Farr and j. j. Snyder,
the latter from Lehigh, were the speak
ers. From the time they began to
speak the enthusiasm of the audience
was unbounded.
Attorney Fl. d. Carey was president
or the meeting and the following were
Vice-presidents: S. w. Cook, George
Walters, w. S. Badger, James =.

MIR. SNYDER IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Mr. SNYDER, who is a new figure in
the campaign, was late in reaching
Scranton and was able to get to Jer-
myn only short time before the meet
ing closed. Though his address was
Drlef, he had time to make a ringing
and brilliant speech in which he out
lined the Republican principles repre-
sented by the present county ticket
in such a wav as to call forth loud
outbursts of approval from the audi
Gnce.
The Priceburg meeting was second
TO none in the campaign in point of
comparative numbers, interest and all
that goes toward a meeting which
makes the party managers feel salts
he'd. 1t was held in Smiths hall,
which was finely decorated for the oc-
caslon. The entire seating capacity of
the place was overtaXed and scores of
persons were obliged to stand.
e. f. Robathan, w. Gaylord Thomas
and Polander were the speakers. The
latter was cheered to the echo through
out his address by the large number of
his countrymen in the hall.
THE PARTY UNDER FIRE.
An incident of the meeting was an
effort by Democrats to end it through
an alarm of fire. The alarm caused
possibly two-score of persons to leave
the hall for a moment, but they soon
returned and Mr.. RObathan, who was
speaking, made the incident a medium
of telling Republican argument. The
party, he said, had been under fire be-
fore-in 81, for instance-and on that
occasion it stood the test and could do
SO again in '97 if necessary.
AT both the Jermyn and Priceburg
meetings excellent music was furnished
by bands.

Early last spring a noticeable settling
of the roadway occurred owing to mine
workings beneath, and about the lat
ter part Of May the settling became so
bad as to destroy the sewer pipes. The
depression thus formed became a pond
at every rain, and the sewage from the
houses did not flow away Steps were
taken to abate the evil by the residents
and the matter was called to the at
tention of councils. No definite action
was taken by that body until a reso-
luton introduced by Select Council
man Richard IL. Williams. of the Fifth
ward, was passed authorizing the city
engineer to rebuild the disturbed sec
tion Of sewer. The old pipes were
twelve-inch, but City Engineer Phil
lips is having fifteen-inch pipes now
laid. In addition, new sewer basin
will be placed midway in the block
by Street Commissioner Dunning.

Republican victory for the entire
ticket next Tuesday. The party's
fighting blood is up at last and that

of a life time to rivet and clinch Re-
publican supremacy in once Demo-
cratic Lackawanna.

PUT HER HAND IN THE STOVE.

Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, residing on
Twelfth street, near Hampton, caused
great excitement among her neighbOrs

afternoon. SO strange did she act that
people were afraid to go near and

was notified and when he attempted to
take the woman into the house she
fought him. With a little patience,
however, she was quieted and taken
into the house where neighbors cared
for her. It was then found thai Ter
right hand was severely burned. The
woman said she had stuck her hand
into the fire and burned it.
