Governor Lowndes has the following
to make to the Legisla-

LARGE ICE CONTRACT.
Lake Lodore Will Furnish Supply to
Big New York Concern,

President Charles Robinson. of the
Lake Lodore Improvement company
has returned from New York. where
he effected five-year contract with
the American Ice company for a mini
mum annual SUPPLY of 100000 tons.
This is the largest ice supply con-
tract ever executed in Pennsylvania.
as the specified amount is but Il mere
suggestion of the ice which will be
really used. Lake Lodore. Lake Keene
and Elk lake constitute the company's
source of supply. They have a COM
bined area of between seven and eight
hundred acres. and can easily furnish
from one to two million tons of ice a
winter.
The company's property is the only
one near enough New York and Phla-
delphia, outside of the lakes on the
Pocono that could be depended upon
for sure and sufficient supply of ice
by the metropolitan company.
The Lake Lodore company is now
constructing at Keene lake. ii 15Qx517
feet ice house. which will cover two
acres, and be capable of holding $4,000
tons of ice. Four such structures will
be built by the company. Charles

DOGS BEING POISONED.
Systematic Effort Being Made to Rid

The following has been sent to The
Tribune by II. D. Swarts. of Dalton,
with request that it be published:
within the past three weeks, there
have been thirteen dogs poisoned in
this little village. and I think 1t is high
time a halt was called to this fiendish
work. w. f. Brower's pointer dog was
the first to meet death in this way. Mr..
Brewer valued his dog at one hundred
dollars. The next two dogs to meet this
same fate belonged to Gus Allen, man
ager of the Union News company.

herd dogs. Mr.. Lewis, the blacksmith,
and Mr.. Moxley the liveryman, each
lost dog. Mr.. John l.. Swarts owned
a fox hound and Gordon setter: both
We're poisoned Tonight the writer re-
turns home and finds his English set
ter has been treated likewise.
There are several gangs of chicken
thieves located within a short distance
Of this village. and the Indications point
strongly in their direction, as it is nee
essary to get these dogs out of the way
in order to make their nightly raids in
"a more successful way. A few nights
ago they visited the henneries of Mr..
Fred Snyder and Fred Palmer and
John l.. Swarts and took nearly all the
chickens they possessed. If these men
who are poisoning these dogs could
only see them in the awful agony they
suffer before death, I am satisfied they
would never poison another dog. If the
party or parties who have been doing
this poisoning can be located, one hun
dred dollars reward will be given.
Every family who has a flock OF
chickens have armed themselves with
a double-barrel shotgun and they are.
loaded with buckshot. They have sworn
vengeance on the thieves, If caught.
They have fully made up their minds
that they would not call to them to
surrender, but would shoot both loads
of bUckshot into their bodies"

Sir: by all means. we should pro-
gress and become a city of the second
class. To remain in the third class
is to lag. and the people OF Scranton
have never been laggards. Obviously,
there are some objections to the ad-
vancement, and, likewise, there are
more objections to standing still. To
advance is to have better municipal
government and abolish, absolutely
many of the worst features of the
present,
The city of Scranton is growing and
will continue to grow, even more rap
idly, under municipal administration
guided by men interested in her devel-
opment, Slowly, but very surely, the
general character of the population
is improving, and with that condition
comes the demand for equal better
ment In our city affairs, Let us move
mp and then see to it that our admin
istrative as we'll as our executive
forces are men of business experience
and honesty.
