UncOnrenia1.

Oh, the man who tells his troubles,
He will amble down the street
And scatter melancholy
'NIongst the crowds that he may meet;
He will Danish all the sunshine
His acquaintance once knew,
He will change all natures aspect
To melancholy blue.
He is bad enough in private,
But sometimes he will get
Where the world must pause and notice
How he's thrown into a pet
It's hard enough to stand him
When small quarrels he will nurse,
But when he's an official
He is infinitely worse.

Not Question of Petty Partisan
Politics.
From the New York Herald

1t is suspected that the purpose of Sem
ator German in pursuing his obstructive
tactics is to secure a personal advantage
within his own party over Bryan, who
favors immediate ratification. If this be
true, the position of the misguided demo-
Gratis who are pinning themselves to the
coat tails of the retiring senator from
great big question of national and interna-
tional Importance. The obstructionlsts
should open their eyes to its full proper
tons. cast off the wretched shackles of
petty partisan politics and like broad-mind-
ed, patriotic American citizens put an end
to this useless and demoralizing delay by
voting for the ratification of the treaty.

The senatorial demand that a Philippine
police shall be Immediately established
opens up the suspicion that these accusa-
tons of slowness have been a little unjust.
The Senate's difficulty now lies in it's anx-
iety to neglect present business and get
away ahead of time.

Stunned by Lightning.

A thunder storm with heavy wind
accompaniment passed over this Sec
ton Friday evening. While it was
not very severe in this immediate
vicinity, it wrought considerable dam
aye in the lower part of Columbia and
the upper end of Montour county.
AT Rupert the storm spent its fury,
the rain came down as though a cloud
had burst, and the lightning was in
cessant. H. Reber Mears, agent at
the ID. l.. & w. r. r. depot, at that
place, who was sitting beside the tele-
graph instrument during the storm,
was knocked from his chair and rem
dered unconscious by bolt of lightn-
ing which followed one of the wires.
Fortunately several persons were in
the waiting room at the time, and Mr..
Mears was picked up and removed to
his home, where he was soon resust-
Gated.
All the trans on the ID. L. & w.
were delayed by reason of washout
caused by the storm, between Cata-
wissa and Danville.

Lycoming's Court House is a Place of
Death.
Judge Metzgar Wants New BuiIdind on
Account Of the Unsanitary Condition Of
Present One.

In an address to the grand jury last
Saturday at Williamsport Judge Metz
ger, for many sanitary reasons advo-
Gated the building of new court
house. Since he has been on the
bench no less than eleven members
of the Lycoming county bar have died
and he stated that he was satisfied
nearly all contracted their disease in
the main court room.
From conversations he had with his
predecessor, Judge Cummin, he was
satisfied he had contracted on the
bench the disease which killed him.
Judge Gamble, Judge Cummlns' pred
ecessor, died shortly after retiring from
the bench. Judge Metzgar said he
knew he had suffered in health, and
believed, if he had been possessed Of
a less rugged constitution, he would
have met the same fate as his prede-
CeSSOrS.

its limits one of the finest parochlal
school buildings in the State. The
structure stands in the most promin-
ent place in the town, and is a build

rounded by beautiful lawns and walks.
1t has within its walls a large and
commo dious club room with all the
requirements to spend a pleasant

der the supervision of Father Hayes
and as it stands is worth all of $I5,-
900.
In connection with the school build
ing Rev. Hayes has just finished a
modern IA room home for the Sisters
of Charity. These two new buildings,
in connection with the church build
ing and parsonage, are worth over

Large surcharge.
Judge Archibald Finds Excess Payments in
Connection With Court House.

Judge Archibald, of Scranton, has
filed his opinion in the case of Brad
ford county VS., Horace Horton, John
Wolfe and w. X. Green, ex-commis-
sioners Of Bradford county, better
known as the taxpayers appeal.
All three of the commissioners are
surcharged the sum of $aS,743,36, and
an additional surcharge of $S,436.55
is placed upon Messrs. Horton and
Wolfe.
This amount is made up of excess
payments made for alterations and ex-
ira contracts in building the new court
house during 1896; for excess COM
missions and exorbtant travelling ex-
penses paid the architects, and for ex-
cessive prices paid for county bridges.
The heaviest items are for interior
marble and mosaic work, $I6,o
glazed tile roof, unauthorized, So, 900;
mosaic flooring in basement, author
lied, $4,000: excess allowed for rails
ing building one foot, $I,Ioa.as.
Judge Archbald's report is a vol
luminous one, covering III pages of
typewriting, and goes into the details
Of the case exhaustively. In summing
up his conclusions on the right of the
commissioners to make alterations, he
quotes the law of April 70, 1895, and
says in part:
Incidental changes which do not
materially add to or detract from the
work may, with propiety, be provided
for. No great public work can be
planned or prosecuted with such abso-
lutte perfection as to escape them; and
they must be met in some way as they
arise or the work will be defective.
But material variations, which affect
the character of the work to be done
or seriously increase the price to be
paid for it, cannot be sanctioned; and
even when justihable changes are
authorized, the provisions of the con-
tract with regard to them must be OBJ
served"
The matter will be appealed to the
supreme court.

TIE BERWICK BRIDGE.
Action Of the Luzerne County Grand Jury.

The Luzerne county grand jury met
on Monday of last week. After they
had retired to their room the first mat
ter taken up for consideration was the
acquisition by the counties of Colum-
bia and Luzerne of the toll bridge
over the Susquehanna River between
Nescopeck in Luzerne county and
Berwick, Columbia county. A. c.
Campbell appeared before the grand
jury on behalf of the petitioners for
free bridges. After hearing the re-
ports of the viewers and the arguments
of counsel and others the jury, without
a dissenting vote, agreed to report
favorably upon the acquisition of the
bridge by the county commissioners.
The matter will now be laid before
the next grand jury of Columbia
county and as the Berwick end of the
Nescopeck bridge is the only toll
bridge in that county it is expected
that favorable report will be made.
If, as anticipated, the Columbia
county people act favorable upon the
matter it will be source of much
qualification to those who originated
and kept alive under many discourage
ments, the movement for free bridges
and turnpikes in Luzerne county. 1t
will be their first success and they
hope that the acquisition of the re-
naming toll bridges will only be a
matter of time.-SHickShinny Ech0.

d. j. BROWN DEAD.

o. B. Mellick, on Thursday OF last
week, received telegram from his
sister, located at Denver, Colorado,
apprising him of the death of her
husband, d. J. Brown, at the Univer-
sity Hospital, in Philadelphia. His
health had been failing for some time
past, and being unable to secure the
desired aid al home, decided to come
east. The journey was begun, but
he was too poorly to complete it all
at once, and was compelled to stop
off for few days at Altoona. He
finally resumed the trip, and arrived
at Philadelphia, but it was soon dis
covered that the aid to be had there
was inadequate to his sickness. He
grew worse, and passed away before
his family could reach him.
The deceased will be remem bered
by many of our readers as having for
merly resided at Lightstreet. About
five years ago, on account OF the very
poor health Of his son, Jay, he de-
cided to move west. The change had
the desired effect, his sons health be-
coming greatly improved. He was
universally respected, honest and up
right, in all his dealings. He leaves
a wife and two children-a son and
daughter.
The remains were brought to this
town Monday morning and taken to
Bakers undertaking room. The sor-
rowing relatives and friends assent mbled
at the Exchange Hotel, on Tuesday,
from which place the funeral cortege
left and proceeded to Lightstreet,
where interment was made.
