SOUTH SCRANTON.

Mrs. Muldoon, of Remington avenue,
had warrants issued from Alderman
Ruddy's office Thursday for John Was
enski and his boarding mistress, Mary
Souvenski. also of Remington avenue.
Mrs. Muldoon charged the man with
assault and battery and threatening to
kill. The charge against the woman
was threatening to kill.
While passing along the street with
a friend, Mrs. Muldoon was much in
censed at an unseemly act committed
by Wasenski and she upbraided him
for it. He resented this and hurled a
stone at Mrs. Muldoon, striking her on
the knee. She pitched in and would
probably have punished him but for his
threat to kill her. Upon her return
home, the boarding mistress expressed
her desire to interfere with Mrs. Null
doon's right to live. Wasenski was
held in bail to the amount of si00 on
each charge. Mrs. Souvenski was held
in the sum of $500. Both to answer at
court.

WATER MAIN BROKEN.

The residents who are supplied with
water in the district lying northeast
Of Jackson street. below Main avenue,
were suddenly deprived of their sup
ply yesterday. This fact occasioned
some surprise as no notice of a shut
ting off had been given. The mystery
was soon explained when it was made
known that the water main had been
broken by q blast, fired in the ex-
cavations now being made on Chest
nut street for a sewer. The strata here
IL rock entire and thus necessitates
blasting. Shortly after 8 o'clock yes
terday morning blast was fired with
the result that the water main was
broken. The shurt-off lasted several
hours.

The News in Jordan.

The people of Jordan have just had
the pleasure of entertaining the Wo-
mans Foreign Missionary Society
Conference Of the Sumter District.
The first meeting was held Friday
evening aud several addresses Of well
come were made, these being re-
sponded to BY one Of the delegates.
Three sessions were held on Satur-
day. The morning was devoted to
hearing reports from the societies in
this district. All rendered good re-
ports and seemed hopeful OF greater
progress during another year. The
other services were informal and the
ladies talked freely of the best plans
for making their work successful.
Some of these people here do not
believe that women should take such
an active |part in these public meet
ings, but this was quite strong ar
gument against their belief.
On Sunday morning the pastor
prea ched the sermon for the occasion
and the evening the Epworth League
had missionary rally instead Of the
regular meeting. There were nine
delegates present, representing diff
fereDt societies. Mrs Wightman,
State president, and Mrs. Stubs,
district secretary, presidad over the
deliberations of the conference.

Senator Tillman has recovered from
his spell of sickness.

At the last session Of the State
Press Association quite an important
paper was read, and a resolution was
adopted asking all OF the newspapers
in the State to publish it before the
convening OF the General Assembly.
We think now is a good time in order
that the matters therein contained
might be considered by the law
makers. The newspapers have not
been treated fairly, and if they will
act in concert and show wherein they
have been mistreatea we feel salts
fed some member of the Legislature
will appreciate the justice OF our
claim and right the wrong that has
been inflicted. The article referred
to by US was read by The TINES ed
itor and ordinarily his modesty would
forbid his reminding the craft of this
paper, but this subject is one OF such
vital importance that we are anxious
that it should get before our repre-
sentatives for their consideration.
We would suggest that the president
fix a time and publish request that
the article might appear in all OF the
papers about the same time.

Some of our contemporaries seem
surprised at what we had to say on
the matter of the Neal-Evans contro-
versy, but we see no cause for sur
prise. 1t is true that last year we re-
garded John Gary Evans the Reform
candidate for the United States Sen
ate, and as a factionalist we gave him
our support. This support was in
creased by what we considered most
outrageous and slanderous attacks
upon him and Which we believe would
have been made at that time against
another Reformer. Charges were
made upon the stump that We're never
attempted to be proven and he was
defeated, the victi4 of SANDER and
Misrepresentation But later events
have shown him to be 30 better than
his traducers and in the last primary,
in order to build up his chances he
undertook to defame the character of
friend OF his opponent, and to do
this he crawled into a sick chamber
aud from It dragged and exposed to
public view an affllction which was
laid upon man by all allwise Provi-
dence. He endeavored to make cap
ital out of Col. Meals afiiction by
distorting the facts and by endeavor-
ing to bring shame and disgrace upon
man for no other reason than he
was an influential obstacle against his
reaching the goal OF his ambition. We
therefore could not endorse man
who will resort to such methods and
having once been supporter, we felt
it was our duty to declare our renun-
citation Of him.

Because Governor Ellerbe has
sought the opinions OF the ministers
with reference to the operation OF the
dispensary law, he has given mortal
ofense to such newspapers as are op-
posed to the dispensary and who are
laboring hard to bring back the bar
room system. A few pretended pro-
hibition papers have joined in the
denunciation OF the governor, but it
will avail them nothing. The people
are heartily sick OF the way things are
running since the Simonton decision
giving men the right to override all
law and deceDcy, has had full swing
The original package shops are being
conducted in an offensive manner
almost everywhere, and the town
authorities where they are located,are
constantly appealing to the Attorney
General to give them some plan
whereby they can either puta stop to
them, or make them pay revenue.
Green7ille, Aiken and other towns
have imposed licenses and are going
ahead giving the original package
men shot time" to do business. The
Governor is right, under the present
complicated conditions to seek all the
information he can get and when the
General Assembly convenes he will
be prepared to give them his views,
based upon the wishes of the people
of the State.

AGAINST A LEASE SYSTEM.
North Carolina Penitenttary Directors
Ooposed 10 Hiring Out Convfots

North Carolina Penieentiary Directors
Opposed TO HIring Out conviots.
RALEIGH, Oct sS.-The penitentiary
directors have decided that the convicts
should not-be leased, as the general sen.
timent in the state is strongly against
leasing.

showing Is made by Superintendent
Smith as to the farming operations and
that after paying the debts there will

basis of cents. and that there will be
also plenty OF grain and feed for an.

usual time required before court for

usual time required before court for
papers to be handed in.
We have also by special committee
examined the county Poor House and
find it in its customary condition.
Some little repairs are needed on
some of the buildings, but the county
supervisor tells US he has arranged to
have this done soon.
We have looked into the workings
of the chain gang and find that the ex-
penses of the same are not as heavy
as We at first supposed. We think
that it is serving a good purpose, and
that the work on roads and bridges
is being done as economically as
could be reasonably expected. We
therefore think that the chain gang
system should be given further trial
before we make any criticisms upon
it.
Since the office of clerk Of court has
been provided with a freproof vault
we suggest that the iron safe former
ly used in that Office but now not
used all, be repaired and placed in
Office of the probate Judge, III order
that that officer may better protect
his records. We also recommend that
the county supervisor provide the
probate Judge with another case for
papers in his Office, which can be
done at an outlay of only a few dol
lars. We think that he can use some
of the cases formerly used in the clerk
of courts Office for this purpose.
Our attention has been called to
the fact that certain parties are prac.
ting medicine in the county who have
not deplon1as and are therefore not
registered in the clerk of courts
office as practicing physicians. We
desire to call attention to this matter,
and if same continues it will receive
attention in more definite shape at
the next term of the court.
We also note that the law is being
grossly violated by many parties in
regard to the traficing in seed cotton
without paying the license We un-
derstand that many of our citizens
in the county buy seed cotton with
out license and we cannot expect the
laws to be obeyed by the more
ignorant when it is violated by many
of our best citizens. We therefore
recommend that the law against buy
ing seed cotton be more rigidly en-
forced or then be stricken from the
statute books, and we call upon the
Magistrates throughout the county
to look more closely to its enforce
ment in their respective communities.
There are also continued violations
of the game and fish trapping laws,
and the attention OF Magistrates is
also called to this.
We recommend that Mr.. ]. H.
Lesesne be paid the sum of twenty
dollars for services rendered as ex-
pert to US in our various examina-
tions.
In conclusion we desire to thank
your Honor for your clear and fore
ible charge as to our duties.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.
