WINTER is here and it is here with
both feet. The mercury was down
to II above at Z O'Clock. This is
much lower than it is usual to find
the thermometer at this season of
the year but everything in connec-
ton with this year is remarkable
The snow which fell few DAYS ago
hung on well. AS the moon was
thirteen days old when the snow fell
it being the first tracking snow there
are to be thirteen snow falls this
winter. This taken in connection
with all the other signs which all
prophesy hard winter give US but
little to hope for except the most
rigorous of winters.

In reply to the inquiry of a cores
pendent we would say that under the
present West Virginia law man who
makes an assignment cannot prefer

WORK has been stopped ON the
locks owing to the bad weather
which has set in. The cold prevents
any concreting being done and that
settles it. A couple more of good
weeks would have seen the lock part

has decided the matter against
them. The grading can be done on
eleven however if the weather holds
off from rain.

performance at the Opera House
Saturday night under the auspices

very well indeed. The weather and

the attendance down but the re-
ceipts were considerable. The pro-
ceeds were for the benefit of the

IT HAS been remarked that it is no
longer appropriate to call the locomo-
tive an Iron horse, thai it is sssteel
horse" At present the greater part
of the locomotive is steel. The mas
sive boiler, firebox, wheel centres,
axles, driving rods and in many cases
the cylinders, steam chests, and even
the cab, are built of steel. The desire
to get increased strength in all the
working parts, with the least increase
in weight, will soon necessitate an all
steel locomotive.

EVENTS OF DAY In
WEST SCRANTON
SOME FEATURES OF OCTOBER IN
THIS PART OF CITY.
Death Rate Was Low and There Was
Small Number of Arrests-Fun-
eral of the Late Edwin Reese at
the First Welsh Baptist Church.
Attended by a Large Number of
Persons--Remains of David Kann
Interred-Reckless Driving Dam
ages a Carriage.

October, the month OF the brown
ale is within one day of it's close for
this year. 1t has been a month replete
with many incidents out of the ordin-
ary. even here in our midst In one
respect 1t has been a unique month.
During the course of the preceding
thirty days the West Scranton police
detail have had very quite month
so far as arrests or other trouble goes.
In fact no other month in this year
shows such clean record on the dock
ct in the police court. though none
have been very bad. Alderman John.
who was police magistrate for the
month, does not recall a quieter month
throughout in years during his exper-
ience in police court matters. There
have been but twelve arrests, eight
men, three women and one boy, real
~ all for ordinary reasons. Three
men were committed in default of fine.
one discharged with a reprimand and
the rest fined.
Two of the women were fined, the
other was discharged with a repri-
mand. The boy was discharged with a
reprimand, the prosecutor not desiring
to press the charge. The total amount
realized in fines for the month was
thirty dollars. About two weeks ago
twelve boys were arrested by the po-
lice, all charged with malicious mis-
chief. They were given a hearing to-
Eether and discharged after a lecture
from the alderman. The lesson prove
efficacious among the lands of the COM
munity in which the boys arrested re-
side.
The aldermen, without any ex-
ception on this side, have had very
scant number of criminal cases" to
transact. What few cases they have
had were very trivial and were quick
ly disposed of in the aldermanic courts.
That community of over 10000 in
habitants should enjoy one whole
month so free from court business is
an indication of that communitys gen.
eral morals.
Then, too, the sick and death rate
has been very low during the month.
Most of the recorded mortality arose
from infantile or old age causes. Two
instances of suicide are recorded. Lit
tie If any contagious diseases have
been found despite the changes of
weather. In connection with the death
record it might be mentioned that sew
eral of our oldest residents have been
called to the great beyond during the
month.
Thus, In a casual glance over two
fields, which are always good sources
OF Euaging a community from month
to month, we find that physically and
morally West Scranton is a good place
to reside in
