KNOBSVILLE.

falleth the snow AS the writer
sits beside the hot stove, there is
an aspect in the weather outside,
that seems to indicate a prospect
of sleighing. Though the snow
fall has been very slow, it has
covered the ground to the depth
of 9 or inches, and is still falling
with prospects of much more.
The farmers will welcome this
wintry covering for the grain
crops which have suffered much
from the want of snow during
the past few weeks of freezing
and thawing weather.
Many of the young folks of this
neighborhood have been attend
ing the protracted meeting at
Bethlehem.
Joe Sherman attended the sale
at Dan Mellotts, and, on the way
it is said, attempted to catch u

not been reported. Joe makes

John Tice is still busy saving
west of Scrub Ridge for John M.
Fore and others.
Mrs. Bertha Oakman and
daughter, accompanied by Reilly

Miss Laura M. Myers, who
has been in Wells Valley for near
ly three months, returned home
and will remain some time She
proposes visiting her sister, Mrs.

Mary Cordell, near Hagerstown,
Md, in the near future.
A few days ago there happen
ed in a family near this place,
what might have been a fatal af-
fray. An altercatien between
the father and son resulted in
the father seiziug a chair and
striking the son over the head
while he was lacing his shoes.
Such persons are dangerous to
their families and communities
in which they live. Some of the
village residents formed a fishing
club, and pursued the piscatorial
sportduring the recent mild days.
Their success, however, was not
commensurate with the admir-
able patience which they exercis-
ed in so steadily and constantly
standing at their posts. Irwin
Hammill, and Henry Owens while
pursuing the sport, were sur
prised at the appearance ON the
opposite side of the creek of an
animal of the cat species. 1t at
tempted to cross on some ice
which, breaking under it's weight,
precipitated it into the water.
When it reached the bank again,
Mr.. Hammlll hurled stone at
the animal and frightened it so
badly that it fed at a tremendous
pace for the Businesses of Scrub
Ridge, no doubt to the entire sat
isfaction of the gentlemen, who
declare it was wild cat. These
animals have become quite num-
erous in this vicinity.
"Sheriff" Kelso was observed
vending his way homeward from
meetinglast Saturday night alone
which is such an unusual occur

concern among his friends, lest
he should come to some harm.
We think, however, that S. W..
can take care of himself.
John Brubaker is home from
Kearney, Pa, for a few days. He
expects to return to his work at

Our mail carrier concluded to
try the sleighing to-day (Monday)
and therefore passed through
this place with two sleighs, thus
trying to get all the benefit out of
the snow he could. Whether he
comes back in the sleigh or not
to-day is another question.

CITY PRISON TO
 BE RENOVATED
Will Be Treated to a Much
 Needed Cleansing.
PRISONERS TO BE REMOVED
Temporary Bastile to Be Established in the Southside Market House-Step Declared Necessary by City
 Physician Whelan.

The city prison, which has been the sub it's sanitary condition by prominent phy- sicians of the city, through the board of health, is at last to be given a thorough cleansing, and in order that the work may be carried on in the proper manner the prisoners will be removed to the Southsde market house, now in disuse, which will be fitted up a temporary prison.
 This step has been declared necessary by City Physician Charles Wheelan to avoid a serious outbreak of sickness among the prisoners, who are crowded far beyond the capacity of the jail.
 A conference regarding the matter was held yesterday between Acting Mayor Thatch, Alderman Kerr, chairman of the finance committee, and Dr. Whelan, at which the question was discussed The cost of the repairs was given especial at tention, and the necessary amount will no doubt be voted by the City Council on the recommendation of the chairman of the finance committee The city will be put to little expense in establishing a temporary prison, as the old southside market house can be easily converted.
 Dr.. Whelan says that immediate action Is necessary, not that an outbreak of dis ease is imminent, but to prevent such an outbreak.
 It is proposed to thoroughly renovate the prison by giving it a complete cleansing from top to bottom, whitewashing the walls, painting the ceilings and repairing the plumbing, which will put 1t in first class condition.

AND THEY HURRIED
Greatest Crowd of the Season Went to
 See Jerry.

You'll Have to Hurry If You Want to See Jerry" was the catch line of a dodger distributed regarding the attraction at East Lake. And for a fact nearly thous- and people hurried into the theater to see the best show of the season. So many were turned away from the doors that to- night another immense crowd may be ex- pected The part of Jerry was creditably presented by MT. Frank G. Hall, the heavy by Earl Adams and the leading juvenile by the finished artist, Eduard Daers. The performances are certainly better since his appearance on the stage, undoubtedly due to his direction. The part of Chick was played by Miss Pauline Seymour with De- tite grace and much favor. Among the specialties especial mention should be made of the re-irtroduced cakewalk by Miss Margaret Kingore and MT. Hall, the former receiving a beautiful floral piece of white roses, concluding the act amidst the great est enthusiasm. The same bill will be pre- scented tonight, and to accommodate the in-town people reserved seats may be se- cured at Nortons.

COMMITTEE HAS
 FORMULATED REPLY
To Request for Reduction of Freight Rates on Pig Iron.
HAS NOT BEEN MADE PUBLIC
Manufacturers of the District Contend That at Present Rates and Prices They Cannot Compete With
 Northern Manufacturers

The Southern Iron Committee, composed of the traffic managers of the railroads coming into Birmingham, has formulated its reply to the request of the Iron Manu- facturers' Association of Birmingham for a reduction of rates to the iron markets of the North and West. The reply was re- ceived yesterday, but on account of the absence from the city of Major Moody chairman of the committee, it was not handed to the iron manufacturers, and was not, therefore, made public.
 It will be recalled that conference was held in this city about a month ago be- tween the iron manufacturers and the Southern Iron Committee relative to a re- duction of freight rates on pig iron ship ments from Birmingham to the iron cen ters of the North and West, and also to the Atlantic ports. The iron manufactur- CTS of Birmingham contended that at the present prices of iron and the condition of the market it would be practically impossi- ble for them to ship iron to the North and West in competition with the furnaces of those sections. They also claimed that with cheaper rate to the Atlantic ports, such as Norfolk, Charleston and Savannah, they would be able to secure larger ship ping facilities for export iron and d more favorable rate.
 These matters were taken under advise and referred to the traffic departments Of the different roads for their action.
 The decision of the committee will prob ably be made public today.

MIGRANTS.
Police Are Making It Warm for Such
 Individuals.

The police are making it warm for vag rants, and a number of arrests have been made.
 Chief Austin has issued instructions to his patromen to arrest all able-boded men found lingering around saloons and other places and who have no visible means of support. It is believed that the enforcement of the law will rid the city of large number of undesirable citizens who take up temporary residence here.
 Judge Feagin is cooperating with the police department in the enforcement of the Vagrancy law and the unfortunates who are brought before him charged with the violation of the city statute are given temporary employment.

 Another Bill
 In the same court Harry E. and Mabel Wheeler, children of the late H. L. Wheel CT, have filed a bill in chancery against their uncle, George F. Wheeler, of Con- cord, Mass. They admit that their late father owed their uncle $1 1S2, but claim that this money was afterwards paid back. The object of the bill is to set aside conveyance of certain land in Jefferson and Shelby counties to the said Wheeler on the ground that there was no considera- tion, and that the debt, for which, it is alleged, they were conveyed had already been settled.
