JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

Charles Smith, whose name appeared
among the list of names in last weeks
dispatches telling of the death of thir-
teen KlOndikers, arrived at his home al
Mayfield safely last evening. He was
hot with the party who met with such
a terrible disaster, but saw Mrs. Bens,
the sole survivor, and conversed with
her, Asked whether or not he thought
Mr. Netter, the Scrantonian, was alive
"a dead, he replied that If Vetter was
of her party he was undoubtedly dead.
Mr. Smith left Dawson on June II and
came by way of St. Michaels for the pur-
pose of investigating alleged finds at
Cape Nome. He had found that there
was not the slightest truth in the re-
ports circulated which, be believes,
originated with the transportation
companies. He saw the Maynard boys
at Dawson and his interesting news
of several men who are in that far off
land from about Jermyn and Carbon
dale. He has been in Alaska twice.
This time he has been away about two
years and four months. He has a
bench claim at Bonanza and has made
cut fairly well. He is not given to
bCasting, and further than to say his
trip was entirely successful and salts
factory he would not say anything re-
garding his wealth. He expects to go
back again to his claim either in the
fall or early next spring. He brought
home a number of good sized mug
gets and a small phial of gold dust,
also a number of pretty pins made from
gold he had taken from his claim,
among them being one for his wife. 1t
is in the form of a pick and shovel
crossed in the center is a gold pan
with some gold washings. 1t is very
unique and valuable. Throughout last
evening his home was besieged with
callers and it is needless to say there
was happiness in the Smith household
last evening.

Young Barker spoke across the car
riage to the stately aunt.

pie frequent those seats in the gar

added

SOME GREAT EXPLOSIONS.
Seven Tons of Powder Dislodged
100000 Tons of Rock.

From Casters Magazine.
Among the many incidents that are
on record, one Of the most notable is
that of the explosion Of fifty-five tons
of blasting gelatin which was being
unloaded from a railway train at
Braamfontein 300 yards west Of Johan-
neshurg, in South Africa, on February
10, 1896, and which was exploded by an
end-on collision. The result Of the eX-
plosion of this enormous quantity Of
one Of the most powerful explosives
used was to produce a crater 800 feet
long, 65 fet wide and 30 feet deep in soft
ground; or, taking a cubic foot Of
earth as Weighing 100 pounds, the SUI
perfcial explosion of this 55 tons Of

CARBONDALE.
THE WATER AGITATION.
Consolidated Supply Company Pub
lish Their Rates.

The Conso!;datec Water Supply COM
pany was responsible TO the agitation
against IT by publishing a list OF rates
and defending the 20 per centum ad-
vance by saying that the corporation
is entitled to fair returns on its invest
ment.
While the figures show about % per
cent. advance, it really amounts TO
more. because many things are rated
which were never rated before and
tho rating is different. This may have
a tendency TO knock the enthusiasm
out of the movement for municipal
water works and it may not.
The HendrclS Manufacturing COM
pany is pushing work on two bore
holes for artesian wells and the results
obtained there will doubtless have a
marked influence on other large cons
sumers.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entire.
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less tho inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca.
tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls ca
tarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
