way between Lake Winola and Scran-

Mr.. Frear says that if the right of

Rumor has it that negotiations
are under way for the sale of the Dick
son Manufacturing companys machin,
works in this city and Wilkes Barre TO
the Midvale Iron and Steel coz. oi.,aDy,
which has works near Philadelphia.
The purchasers, so the story goes,
secure the plant in consideration of
their assuming the Dickson company's
bonded and floating Indebtedness.
The locomotive shops, known as the
Cliff works. are to be retained by the
stockholders. The deal will be con-
summated, it is said, when the Dick
son company's statement of indebted
ness is verified by the accountants of
the purchasing company.
These experts, SO it is said, were
at work for several weeks, go
ing over the company's accounts
and making inventory of its
property, and last week went back to
New York, whence they came, and are
likely, now, forming a report for the
prospective purchasers.
The company's bonded Indebtedness
in round numbers is $l,O00000, and its
floating debt is about half as much
again. This just about represents what
the property is intrir rsically worth. The
capitalization is $500, ,OOOa and it is figured
that the Cliff works is worth all of this
and probably more. At all events the
deal would. in the opinion of the inter
ested parties. make the now practically
valueless stock worth its full face
value.
The Dickson company's heavy debt Is
cd nv 10
years the company persisted in paying
its regular ten per cent dividend wher
IT could not afford it. This left it witt
such a meagre working capital that
when extensive improvements were
found necessary to keep abreast OF tn.
times bonds had to be issued. Som,
reverses at one period accounts for {
portion of the debt.

return renOunces any claim to the
Tonga Islands and to Savage Is

Ing such a race was obtained last year
by the Bulu expedition q the German
military force. Seven individuals OF
the pygmy tribe were, after much diff
fculty, brought to the camp through
the fundamentally of native chief.
Some Of them showed tracesof admix-
ture with other tribes, but one woman,
who seemed to possess the typical
characteristics Of the race, was care-
fully measured and had a height Of al
most exactly four feet. The color was
a acknowledgements to copperish, the
palms Of the hands alone being OF q
yellowish white. The hair was deep
black, thick and frizzled; the skull
broad and high; the lips full and swol-
len. The mode Of life seems to resem-
BILE that Of other pygmy tribes, as they
are very shy, wandering about from
place to place, and avoiding frequented
routes. They are skilled hunters, and and
collect much rubber, but dispose of it
to other tribes for transport to the
coast. Prof. Virchow, speaking Of
these people before the Berlin An
chronological Society in November
last, said that apart from their small
size they possess all the Characters
tics of true negroes, especially in their
hair; and that, like the other pygmy
tribes, they must be regarded as: the
remains of primitive population,
from which the various negro tribes
have been derived.
