have both been i'll for a month past,
are improving very slowly. Mrs.
Wright is still confined to her room.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Y. Saunders are
making some improvements in he in
terror of their house.
We are glad to note that the street
lamps are again able to be up and
shining. 1t looked for some time as If
the villages might belong to "ihe dark
ages" but we are glad of sufficient H..
Elimination to discover that it does not.
Let the lights shine, for a little en-
lightenment is far better than none.
Mrs. Martha Bell, who has been
quite i'll, is improving. Her daughter
and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Kel-
lum, of Scranton, who have been sick,
are also better.
Mrs. o. d. Roberts, who has been
Ill for two weeks past. is still confined
to the house, but is improving.
The Methodist Episcopal Aid society

Emanuel Carpenter is advertised to

Springs belonging to Truman Bell
have been purchased by enterprsing
citizens, who intend supplying the town
with an abundance of pure spring wat
er. This is an Improvement, the need
of which has long been felt. both for
protection against fire and the insure
healthful drinking water. Had the
town had this water supply ten years
ago the destructive fires which have

FLOOD AT NICHOLSON.
Highest Water Known in Many
Years.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Nicholson, March IA terrible flood
Is raging and damage is being done.
The flats are completely covered and
the inhabitants are rushing to higher
ground for safety. School was closed
at noon and nearly all work has ceased
except that of trying to protect the
people and property. Never in the his
tory Of the town has the water been
so high before. Water Is over a foot
deep on the sidewalk on state street,
from the bridge to Bucks corner. The
mill dam is old and leaking. If it
should break away, as is expected
every minute, the results may be ter
rible. Water is always its own master
and no human power can control it..
Boats are being used to save lives
that are In greatest danger.

Another Model Town,

Undeterred by the fate Of Pullman
and Dolgeville, the owner of a coal
tract near Pittsburg is building a
model mining town. Each of it's houses
of tric!. and stone will stand on a
quarter-acre lot, with flower beds and
an Usage orange hedge in front School
buildings, reading and club house,
churches and stores will be provided,
thus leaving the miners and their faml-
lies, to the number of three thousand.
nothing to do but move in and be hap
py. Some precautions are, however, to
be taken against such an issue of the
enterprise as has befallen other expert
ments Of the same kind. The homes
are to become the property Of the in
dividual miners. and they are to run
the place as in the case of other viii
lagos. The stores are to be managed
on the proflt-sharng plan. Club and
reading room membership will involve
the payment of dues. The sale of IL
quor in or near the place will be barred.
"The intention is" saws the founder
of the town. ito provide every benefit
with which an cmDloye can be sup
piled. On the other hand. the cost of
producing coal must be made as low as
it can be made legitimately." II the
latter half of this declaration ',np,ies
that the miners are to accept less pay
than that given elsewhere in the same
district for like labor, as an offset 10
the provision made in their behalf. the
failure of the scheme, however, careful
ly framed in other respects, can safely
be predicted.

THE BATTLE CHARIOT.
A Grim Reminder of the Combats Of
the Heroic Times.

From the Scientific American.
The chariot was used in antiquity
for the battle, the chase. in public
professions and in games. 1t had two
wheels and was drawn by two horses.
and when one or two horses were added
they were attached to each side of the
main pair by side trace, fastened
to the front Of the chariot. These
chariots have only come down to us
in fragments, with the exception of the
one in the Archaeological Musuem of
Florence, which is a unique example
of war chariot. the so-called "Biga
di Frassino," found by Rosselineo in
tomb at Thebes. 1t Is certainly as
old as the fourteenth century B, G.
1t probably a trophy obtained in the
north by some Egyptian warrior.
There Is an entire absence Of metal in
the construction. Immediately on the
axle, without springs Of any kind,
rests the basket or body OF the chariot,
which consisted of floor to stand on,
and a semi-circular guard around the
front and about half the height of the
driver. 1t Is entirely open at the back,
so that the combatants might leap to
the ground and up again as became
necessary by the exigencies Of action.
There was no seat. and generally in
war chariots there was only room for
the combatant and his charioteer to
stand In. The pole, as in the present
instance, was usually attached to the
middle Of the axle, although to out
ward appearances 1t looked as though
1t sprang from the front Of the basket.
At the end Of the pole was the yoke.
which looked like rams horns. De-
pending from this by leather thongs

ably took the place Of the animals.
Besides the harness Of each horse there
were bride and pair Of reins some-
what In the same style as In use at
the present day. These were made Of
leather and were ornamented with
studs OF ivory and metal. The reins

WHAT MONOPOLY DOES.

That arrant monopoly. the Hawaii
an Electric Company. gave another in
stance last night of its utter disre-
gard of the rights of the people and
OF its patrons by keeping them with
out light for period of one hour and
one-half. If this were a country where
fierce electrical storms ragged there
would be some excuse for this condi-
ton Of affairs but as it is there is no
excuse excepting an Indifference TO
the public demands by a company
which holds an exclusive franchise.
Honolulu is out of the path of electric
storms and the air is never surcharg-
ed with electricity. To say that there
was a break in the machinery is no
excuse for every electric plant in the
world. even in the small towns and in
the mining camps of the west is fitted
with duplicate machinery to provide
for just such emergencies as breaks
in the machinery.
With an exclusive franchise, such
as that possessed by the Hawaiian
Electric Company there is all the
more reason why it should be pro-
vided with duplicate mach. lery and
ready at all times to furnish light and,
power to its patrons no matter what
might happen For several weeks
past the merchants have been making
additional demands upon the electric
company for extra lights for the
Christmas trade. These lights have
been furnished but no additional ma
chinery was installed to supply the
extra demands. Regular patrons have
observed this for some days past by
the very poor lights furnished. Any
company mindful of its own interests
and the interests of its patrons would
have foreseen this holiday demand
for extra service months ago and have
made ample provision to supply It.
No company can furnish 10000 mean
descent lights on 5000 light circuit
and expect the machinery to stand the
strain.
Only that the exclus re features of
the franchise are to soon expire suit
to annul the franchise would have
been instituted before this. II is
wellknown principle OF law. rs laii
down by the highest courts, .hat No
legislature has the right to grant On
exclusive franchise and thus create a
monopoly by law. Fortunately there
will be other electric companies ia
Honolulu ere many more months.
