INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.

The work on the new extension of

year ago and has built up a remarkably
big business. Its goods are in use In
every state of the union and many
| countries Of Europe.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company has renewed it's
lease of the lands of the Girard estate,

-Four mining engineers and twenty la
borers are engaged in making bor-
ings, strippings, etc, with a view to
locating new deposits Of ore. The old
shafts are filled with water to the
depth of 800 feet and it is not likely
that the massive pumping engine, one
of the largest if not the largest in
the world, will ever be used again
The most powerful engines, nowadays
are comparatively small, and it is
probable that several small pumping
engines, but with great force will be
erected to pump out the old shafts
and keep the new ones clear of water.

EDITOR UNDER BAIL.
MI. Knight Valves a Hearing on
Charge of Assault and Battery.

Yesterday afternoon at o'clock Edl-
tor Knight, Of the Evening News, en-
tered bail before Mayor O'Neill for his
appearance at court to answer a charge
of assault and battery preferred by
w. j. Byrne The warrant on which
Mr.. Knight was arrested was issued
by Alderman Bunnell Wednesday af-
ternoon, but service was delayed. The
arrest was made at Mr.. knights busy
time, but it caused him no inconveni-
ence as J. j. Morahan, of Hotel Har-
rison became his bondsman without
delay.
Details of the assault, which occur
red in the News office, will probably be
aired in quarter sessions. Many ver-
sions of the affair are current.

BICYCLE GOSSIP.

A circular Letter from which the fol-
lowing is an abstract is about to be
sent to all local consuls in the state
by SeCreary-Treasurer Collins, of the
Pennsylvania Division of the League
of American Wheelmen. An effort was
recently made to find out just why
quite a large number of members of
the League of American Wheelmen al
lowed their memberships to lapse In
doing so it was discovered that more
than fifty per cent. Of the volunteers
in the service during the recent war.
ana those connected with the strug-
gle in various capacities We're active
wheelmen, and it was also found that
of these thousands We're members of
the League of American Wheelmen.
Probably no military organization
of equal size in the country was repre-
sented by more than half as many
members. During the eXcitment, the
membership of about one-half of these
lapsed through oversight, or because
they believed it would be many months
before they would return. That these
should be debarred from membership
unless they paid the customary fine,
would be a sad comment on the pa l.
triotism of their fellow members, and
it had therefore been decided that:
Amy member (whether he was engaged
in the service or noD whose member
ship expired since January first, shall
be entitled to renew the same without
| any penalty whatever"
The Pennsylvania division, League of
American Wheelmen, has just paid a
reward of $25 to Harrisburg detective
who brought about the arrest and con-
viction Of a thief who stole the wheel
ef a league member in the capital city.

the CITY for Years.

The obseques of NJ. b. Madigan at
st. Rose of Lima church yesterday
morning We're the most largely attend
ed of any in Carbondale for years. In
the cOrtege were noticed nearly all the
business and professional men of the
city. The societies present were the
local and Scranton councilS, of the
Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Mu-
tual Benefit association and the
Knights of Father Mathew. Mr.. Mad
igan was highly instrumental in or
ganizing the last named society, which
was twenty-one years old the day he
was buried.

The Emperor of Germany has a run

make of so great parsonage; 1t is true,
nevertheless; and, what is worse. he
can find no cure. This greatest of En-
perors, this autoCratic ruler of the
greatest of nations, can find no cure
for such seemingly insignificant NAL
ady. Just think of it, a man at whose
beck one of the strongest armies and
navies of the whole earth could be set
in motion, man whose rule is abso-
lutte over the country of medical uni
Versities, q man whose slightest ca
price could press into service the most
noted savants and philosophers on
earth, has a running ear and is un-
able to find q cure!
Now contrast the experience of the
following citizens of the United States
with the Emperor of Germany. Like
the Emperor, they failed to find cure.
But, unlike the Emperor, they hap
pened to be plain citizens of the Unit
ed States, rather than the center of the
inner court Of the most exclusive and
carefully guarded aristocracy of the
