There was much misunderstanding
about the tax on lumber dealers imposed
by the revenue bill CT 1899 When that
schedule was up in the House. MIR. Smith
OF Gates. secured a change in tho wording
Of The bill which makes it certain that
the tax does not apply 10 merchants,
farmers and others who sell lumber but
ONLY 10 those who are lumber dealers
as defined by The Supreme court. This
will be appreciated by Mr. smiths con-
stituentS.

The preachers who open the North Car
DINA Legislature daily with prayer
seem to be behind the times.
1T would appear from some OF the stories
coming out OF the West that the chap

recognize the fitness of things. The chop

ring to the free pass evil. is quoted as
praying like this:
20, Lord. we thank Thee that the mem

LIVELY TIME AT LAST CHANCE.
Simon Cisco Causes Arrest of Two of
His Neighbors Whom He Fears.

There was lively time in the settle
lnent about the Last Chance workings
on Thursday night when two of the
residents stirred up excitement by
stoning the house of Simon Cisco.
against whom the accused pair, George
Satiska and Jacob Santos, held
grudge because of his hailng from a
different county than themselves.
This is the story that Cisco told AL
derman Atkinson, when he came for a
warrant for their arrest. Santos and
Saiiska were unfriendly to him since
they argued some time ago about their
respective birthplaCeS. On the night Of
the trouble, Cisco continued, the ac-
cused came home intoxicated and in a
boisterous and quanelsome mood They
taunted and Jibed at him and followed
this with a Voley of stones, which fell
IN prolusion, not unlike raindrops in Il
spring shower. After cXhausting their
Nullcy OF missiles, Santos and Safiska
charged on the house. and after break
ms the door, tore it from its faSten-
'hSS. Another Volley came neNt--a VOL
ley OF threats-and after the alleged
disturbers retreated, Cisco hied to AL
derman Atkinson'S office to secure i,ls-
tce, but more particularly to have his
neighbors secured
TWO charges We're laid against San
1oS and Sais<a, malicious mischief and
threats To kill. The warrants were
given TO Constable Moran, who took
IN" accused before the alderman. After
the hearing, the pair We're held in bail
10 await the action of the grand iury's
action Friends of the pair hurried
about FOR the security. but We're un-
't5ie to locate bonIsmen. Santos and
"uiiska We're accordingly taken to the
county Jail by Constable Moran.
Later, Satska's wife entered a coun-
ter charge, She nverred that Cisco.

i1G, threatened her bodily harm. ON
ms Information warrant was issued

THE NEW STREET LIGHTS.
The Wellsbach Lighting Company's
Lamps Will Be Put in Operation

tonight.
The lamps of the Welsbach Street
Lighting company. which the Carbon
dale Gas company hopes to have super
sedc the arc lights now In use, will be
placed in service tonight at six points
in the city, in order to demonstrate
their efficiency before the members of
the councils and the citizens generally.
The lamps. which superintendent
Guerin of the company has erected,
are located at the following places:
Corner Lincoln avenue and Terrace
street, corner Lincoln avenue and
Washington street. Washington place,
end of Wyoming street, corner Terrace
street and Brook avenue. corner Ninth
, avenue and Spring street.
The lamps will be lighted this even
ing and will remain lighted each even
ing until after the opening of the bids
for street lightins-which will take
place before council committee on Mon.
day evening, May t3--and as long
thereafter as the company deems fit
y wide interest has been aroused
over the proposed lighting contract,
which councils will let on the night
mentioned and there has been varied
discussion as to which will give the
better service, the present arc lights or
the new idea of gas illumination en-
bodied in the Welsbach invention The
Carbondale Gas company, through
superintendent Guerin, claims that a
better quality of light and better dis
trihution will follow the use of the
WelSbach lamps, and at no increased
cost over the are light. and it is anX-
iollS to demonstrate this claim through
the exhibition or test which will be
commenced this evening. The points
selected for the tests We're chosen with
Il view to best determine the efficiency
Of the lamps. and an inspection and
comparison are courted.
These lamps are in operation In many
or the largest cities of the country, aud
yesterday Superintendent Guerin re-
ceived letter from the Welsbach
Lighting company telling of the adop-
ton of their lamps by ii Lrzerne coun-
ty town.
This part of the letter is as follows:
Last Thursday we knocked out the
electric light company at Nanticokc.
lheN had tifty-nine arc lights at sew
enty dollars and thirty thirty-two
candle-power lights at twenty dollars.
Our contract is for 126 Welsbach lights
at thirty-two dollars per light per year.
We will have the lights in operation
Saturday night next"

ACCEPTABLE IMPROVEMENT.
The New Bridge Over Racket Brook
Practically Completed.

\ most acceptable improvement-nnc
that will be fully appreciated-is the
new iron bridge over the Racket brook
that has just been completed.
Contractor Moran has completed the
concrete on one side of the street car
tracks and so soon as the cement and
stones become firmly set, so as TO allow
teams to pass over the new roadway,
the force of men will be put to work
on the other side.
The Improvement has wrought a de-
sirahle change in that locality. The
street car tracks are removed to the
west side, and while the roadway on
that side is somewhat narrower, it will
meet every demand, as heretofore
there was only one driveway over the
bridge instead of two, as now.
When the sidewalks will have been
laid and connected, the appearance of
the work will be Il daCidedly enhanced.
