controls the headwaters of the Niger,
with Its fertile valleys. Farther south
is the French Congo, with the Congo
river and its valley along the southern
border.
1t was from these western possess
slons that Marchand pushed forward
to Fashoda, while another French eX-
pedtion, starting from Obok, on the
east coast, sought to join hands with
him, thus demonstrating to the world
that Englands dream of British Afri-
ca, inseparable from Cairo to the Cape,
was not to be realized. But while
these plans were not fully carried out,
France has developed her possessions
in other directions until she rightly
makes claim of holding first place in
the extent of possessions in Africa.
GERMAN POSSESSIONS.
The German empire in Africa covers
about 100000 square miles, but, while
this is small i'm comparison with France
and Great Britain, these powers have
been long exploring and colonizing
while Germany came on the scene only
sixteen years ago. In 1888 the German
flag was raised for the first time in
|
was added soon after. Thus far, how
ever, 1t cannot be said that any marked
development has followed this move
ment, as Germany, coming late, took
the least desirable desert country. and
even the scant possibilities of this have
been further weighed down by official
ism and militarism, which are the
main characteristics Of German colon
! izng, as against the local civil admins
| tration which the British and French
| put into force.
In West Africa Germany has also set
her foot-in the Kameruns, not far
from the Niger country, and at Togo
Land running from the Gulf of Guinea
back to a rich interior With Ger
manys industrial awakening and her
need for new markets this German
| empire in Africa is viewed at Berlin
as a seat of future greatness.
Other powers-Italy, Portugal. Spain
and Belgium-have their possessions in
Africa, but they do not rise to the dig
nifty of empires, although Italy. but
for the reverse by the Abyssinian
mountaineers, would have We'd with
Germany in the extent of possessions.

PULLED THE uRcHIN's EARS.
Miss Nancy Cole, of Lake Carey, Ar
rested for Assault.

Special TO the Scranton Tribune.
Tunkhannock Dec. Miss Nancy
Cole, teacher of the public school at
Lake Carey, was arrested last Tues
dav for assault and battery, and the
ease was heard before Squire w. ).
kutz on Wednesday.
The prosecutor was Edwin Stevens,
who alleged that his two children had
been maltreated by Miss Cole, who had
pulled their ears till they bled ana hit
them over the head. The witnesses on
behalf of the commonwealth were prin-
cipally relatives of Mr.. Stevens. ana
they verified the statement in the IN
formation. Miss Cole, however, was
backed by the school board of Lemon
township and a large number of her
pupils. She denied that the two little
boys were injured in the least and de-
clared that it was simply a spite ac-
ton. She said the children were both
under six years of age, and that they
were taken in the school as favor to
Mr.. Stevens. Jesse Dix, one of tho
dir, fus. said the school was doing
well. and that Miss Cole was an etlic-
tent teacher. The pupils corroborated
the defendants testimony, and the JUS
tice dismissed the complaint. The costs
will be paid by the county.
Miss Cole taught in Meshoppen Tor
nine years. and this is her second term
at the lake.

very deep springs that are not affected
by the rainfall until after a consider
able time, This beautiful sheet Of
water, deeply set between the hills, was
once known as Waroona- lake. This
appropriate name is the Australian
word for solitude.
The pond for several years past has
given no cause for comment and by
some had almost been forgotten. 1t
now has again presented it's claims for
notoriety in manner which is GER
tainly as astonishing as had ever been
credited to it before. The water has
been continually rising for several days,
and has reached mark over its nat
ural height, and is still reaching out in
an effort to cover more territory. The
pond is now higher it is reported by
residents in the vicinity, than it has
bees since 1870
The most peculiar feature connected
with the present conditions existing
there is the fact that farming land
located at a great distance from the
lake has been affected. John Strick~
land. who resides near the Center
Gated two and one-ouarter miles from
church. recently ploughed a field To-
the pond, on which he had intended to
raise a crop of potatoes. He had also
completed a large shed on the lot for
the reception Of the crop when 1t was
harvested The soil is sandy, but Mr..
Strickland had always considered it
among the most valuable OF all his
farming land. and it had never given
him reasons to believe otherwise. On
Wednesday he had occasion to do some
work on the lot with an OK team, and
great was his surprise 10 find the soil
wet and unit for working. He drove
his team some distance on to the field,
where one Of the oxen sank down to its
body in the earth, and was with much
difficulty eXtTicated from his position.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Dec. 7.--Dealings on the
stock exchange approached a condition
OF stagnation several times today at in
tervas between q period of spasmodic
activity. The day was almost am exact
repetition of yesterday, with periods of
strength at the opening and near the
close, and an interval of acute weakness
in some stocks. The early strength was
largely due to the cheerful view of Amer
lean securitica taken by London oper-
ators who bought quite largely In this
market. Rather positive evidence OF
strength In Union Pacific helped on the
late rally. The iron and steel stocks
were quite conspicuous In the early
strength probably on account of cover
ing operations by bears, who sold them
yesterday, but this only served to make
them more vulnerable to attack and their
subsequent relapse was quite violent The
same was true of the anthracite group
which advanced sharply and then devel-
oped acute weakness. New Jersey Cen
tral leading with fall of points. The
Tobacco stocks were the seVerest SuHer-
ers on reports of projected opposition
I'm the trade by interests which have been
relieved from the present companies,
Sugar and Brooklyn Rapid Transit were
conspicuous in the dealings, as was the
case yesterday The former stock vi
brated widely above and below yester-
days level and closed with a small net
gain. The unsettled state of the Indus
trial securities which seemed to be due
have only slight effect on railroads, and
when pressure relaxed again the Indus
trials there was not much difficulty In
bidding up prices of railroad shares.
Northwestern rose 3ia; Omaha 2, and
Union Pacific 1as AS n consequence the
list shows a fair admixture Of net gains.
The condition in the money market serV-
ed to discourage any new speculative
commitments.
Notwithstanding the general rally In
stocks the close was irregular with some
of the Industrials showing renewed pres
sure. Total sales, ii7, 400 shares.
Bonds were not active and were in
