A new company to conduct the gas
and electric light business in Catasau-
qua and other places was formed under
the name of the Lehigh- Northampton
Gas and Electric company, with head
quarters at No. 119 Bridge street, Cata-
sauqua. 1t was incorporated under the
privileges of the New Jersey laws. with
capital of s250,O0O. At an election,
NJ. L. Dreisbach, Of Wilkes Barre was
chosen president; Lyddon Flick. OF
Wilkes Barre, vice-president. and C. r.
Horn, of Catasauqua. secretary and
treasurer. which three officials COM
prise the executive committee. The
directors also include Mr.. Sterling, of
Wilkes Barre, and W. w. Watson, Of
Scranton.
The Catasauqua plants have been
absorbed. and will be considerably en-
larged, the gas works having a new
holder erected,and otherwise improved
and the electric light plant increased
in power. The present system of fur
nishing current in Catasauqua will be
retained. but in other places the alter
mating system will be introduced.
The company proposes extending
their lines Of wire and pipe TO Coplay,
Northampton, Siegfried and Cemen-
ton, and will introduce every improve
ment in the system employed. Work
on construction will be given to many
more men. Both gas and electric plants
are model modern institutions. and the
additional outlay will be used in con-
structing new fields of demand, the
present machinery being abundantly
able TO cover a more extended field.

IMPERFECT PAPER BOOKS.
What the Supreme Court Says About
Them,

In disposing of a case recently the
Supreme court made the following an
nouncement:
Upon examining the paper books Of the appel
liant in this find that it contains so
many and such serious defects in dsregarding
the rules of court that we are obliged to enter
a non.suit under Rule 2l. We have frequently
called attention OF counsel TO the very loose
practice which prevails in the preparations Of
the paper books, and to the necessity of a more
rigid conformity to the rules being observed,
but admontions have had but little effect
In the hope that a better practice may pre-.
vail in the future We announce that here
after all paper books which are not prepared in
conformity with the rules will be suppressed,
and the appeals in such cases will be non.

is to remedy the evils existing in this
city, and the easiest and most effective
way is the one we prefer to adopt. In
the crusade of 1870, in which Mr.. Stur-
ges was a leader this thing was done
and it proved effective. l, for one, am
disposed to give it another trial.
"As to the speakeasies. however.
there is TO be no compromise" he went
on to say. There are no mitigating
circumstances in their case. as is
claimed there is in the case of the
licensed dealers, but whether there are
or not, the same arrangement could
not be made with them for obvious
reasons They will be rooted out and
prosecuted, one after another. until
there is not a single hole-in-the-wall
left in the county"
Two new arrests were made yester-
day, but no others will likely be made
till after the present session of the
grand jury is over. The agents of the
society are busy in presenting evidence
in the cases already begun. and could
not well attend q hearing in the alder
