THEY ENTER A PROTEST.
Mulberry Street Property owners
Don't Like the Assessment.

The property holders on certain parts
of Mulberry street met last evening to
the number of about twenty, in Alder
man John T. Howe's Office to enter a
protest against the assessment for paw
ing Mulberry street. They who as
sembled last night claim the assess
ment is not equitable; that they are
called upon to pay for privileges from
which other property holders receive
greater benefit and therefore this lat
ter class should bear a greater part of
the expense.
The street car tracks Of the Scran-
ton Railway company play the import
ant part in the dissatisfaction. The
property owners who met last night
have properties which front on parts
of Mulberry street that are double
tracked. They therefore claim that a
smaller space of street is paved at
these points than at places which have
only a single track. and they do not
think 1t equitable that the assessment
should be the same to them.
The "double-trackers, as this fac
tion may be known In the agitation
which is promised, point out also that
the railway company at its own eX-
pense paves between the rails and be-
tween the tracks.
At the meeting last night the matter
was thoroughly discussed. Charles
Schlager was chairman. Another
meeting will be held in short time
to adopt definite method of proceed

OF THE CIVIL WAR


window; gentlemen of France slashed
their canes across the heads and faces
of women that they might get out of
the horrible panic of the bazaar fire.
There is a hero and a coward in every
man. The sentiment of fear is pretty
evenly distributed, but the higher the
mental calibre the greater the fear.
Ignorance is often heralded as bravery;
an egg isn't afraid of hot water. but
a chicken is. and a woman is afraid of
a mouse. Courage, however, always
increases with numbers. Nobody likes
to be a Robinson Crusoe on an island,
in politics or in religion, and human
ity even wants the tailor to make them
all alike through fear of being alone
even in dress.
In battle, the speaker said there Is
vast difference between advancing
in extended order across an open field
upon position occupied by the hidden
enemy, and in charging in close forma-
tion. elbow to elbow, upon breast
work. DR.. Paxton presented some
striking illustrations on this point and
also upon his assertion that the cow
ard is scared in battle while one who
has performed some act of bravery is
deed is performed.

He presented a humorous picture of
the disdain with which soldiers threw
away their overcoats, woolen blankets.

other burdensome articles while march

simile to the abandonment of the con-
ceits of youth and vaunting ambition

D. & II. SUNDAY TRAINS.
Three Trains Each Way, IL is Said,
Will he Put on Soon.

There is again talk of Sunday trains
on the Delaware and Hudson road. The
company officials will only say that the
matter has been discussed and will not
admit that any definite understanding
has been arrived at.
The rumor that is afloat has it that
three crews are to be put on, two Of
them making round trips from Carbon
dale to Wikes-B Barre and the third
making the trip from Nineveh to
Wilkes Barre and return. This would
give a service from this city of three
trains each way.
The company has been averse to
Sunday trains but it is said it has
been moved to put them on through
the demands of its patrons along the
route and of the connecting roads at
either terminal.
