We understand that there are n good
many accidents all oyer the county, on
account of the large corn crop. We I'M
derstand that Link Ducsler, of Lincoln
township, lost team the other day in n
very strange manner.
Link and his faithful dog "Calam-
ity" went to the pasture, and Link got
his team and started for home, but
thought he would go into his corn field
and take look at the corn. Link tied
his team to a corn-stalk, and climbed
the stalk and had crawlcd out upon one
of the ears, which was about 20 feet
from the ground, and was endeavoring
to pull back the husks, to see if the
grains were maturing, but his weight
was little too much for the ear, which
gave way, letting him fall to the ground,
or rather fall upon the back of poor old
"Calamity.' Link only received a good
shaking up and few bruises, but poor
old Calamity" met with a worse fate
for nothing has been heard of him since
except one good howl The ear of co II
which was broken off fell and stru cl
both horses, killing them Instantly

County Money Safe.
Yours truly,
THE Two DEVILS.

On Wednesday of last week, the Nat
ional Bank of Commerce filed n bond for
$40, 600, given by the American Security
Company, to secure the county funds in
the hands of the bank. This $40, 900
bond was filed in connection with 81 So
600 personal bond. Any one will readily
see that the county money is amply Sc
cured. There will be no repetition of past
painful experiences. We doubt If another
county in state hasits funds more safely
secured than the funds of Anderson couny.

One of our reporters was out in the
country Sunday, and while out stopped
at the farm Of X. S. Ayres. Mr.. Ayrcs
has a good crop of everything this year,
including tremendous crop of apples.
MIR. Ayres house is situated a little bit
lower than the orchard, and so many
apples have rolled down against the
house within the last few days that heis
afraid that they will shove the house off
of its foundation. According to Mr..
Ayres son J. L., (who is a truthful boy),
they have to get up in the night every
once i'll while to shovel the apples away
from against the house.

a somewhat startling revelation of a
proposition made not long ago by the

whereby the two nations should control

fix its price at a uniform rate which
should never fluctuate. These details
have never been made public.

falling on the desk and breaking all to
pieces, and the oil caught on fire TWAS
with much difficulty that the flames
were extinguished. Mr. Adams says
that if the lamp had not been full of oil
the lamp would have exploded. Mr..
Adams daughter, Mrs. Chas Stein, and
baby were sitting near the desk, at the
time of the accident, and had the lamp
exploded, would have been also seriously
hurt. 1t is indeed very fortunate that
the affair was no worse.

Will Do No More Work in the Way

Turnpike at Present.

1t can be pretty definitely stated
that the ordinance appropriating $1,000
for the purpose of finishing the re-
pairs on the Abingdon turnpike will
be allowed to drop in common coun-
Gil and that it will never be resurrec-
ted
This is on account of the order made
by Judge Archibald on Monday con-
tinuing the injunction restraining the
city from interfering with the work
now being done on the turnpike by
the Turnpike company. The council
men realize that President Paine,
backed up by this injunction, would
continue to do the work of repairing,
even il the ordinance did pass.
Wen let them do the work" said
city official yesterday, who is in a
position to know what is going to be
done, land then We'll fight their bill
in court 1t will be remembered that
when the company sued the city for
bill of $1,000 a few years ago, the
jury cut it down to little over $1,000,
declaring that the rest of the bill was
not correct"

but few questions. Druggist G. w.
Davis testified as to the purchase Of
the poison by Mrs. Dandow on June 49,,
she stating it was for use on her
husbands foot.
DR.. Peck testified as to having at

FINE PERFORMANCE.
Given by the Primrose & Dockstade1
Minstrels.

Occasionally minstrel company
gives performance quite in keeping
with what it promises. One of these
all-too-rare occasions was last night,
when the Primrose & Dockstader
troupe, at the Lyceum, entertained an
audience that, despite the warm
their seats to the close of the per-
formance.
In both the quality and variety of its
music. fun and lateral specialties the
company easily ranks with the fore
most. Lew Dockstader of course, is
the bright particular star of the fun
making end of the aggregation, and
his reception was, as it always is in
Scranton, a very flattering one. His
monologue, in which he deals solely
with a summer hotel, and his bunch
of representations" in which he plays
In a richly humorous style with the
foibles of the leading lights of the
political world, We're we'll worthy of

time favorite, presented a pretty spe-
cialty, sunny, Sunny South" in which
he cleverly introduced some pictur-
esque scenic effects, as accompani-
ments to the most popular of the old
and new Southern melodies.
The first part was deliberately staged
and replete with good things. Walter
Vaughn, Larry Dooley. Charles Kent
and Harry Ellis, the leading soloists,
were exceptionally good.
Neil OBrien's ridiculously droll fun
In musico-mechanical speciality was
one of the biggest hits of the evening.
The performance closed with an un-
usually good acrobatic act by the Carl
Damman troupe.
