Disastrous Fire.

Last Saturday morning Franklin
was visited by disastrous fire, entail
ing loss of $4,000. The Citizen
Press, owned by Hon. e. w. Smiley, is
in ruins. The Press was one of the
most complete plants in that section
of the state and we are pleased to learn
that the Messrs. Smiley will imme-
diately resume with new outfit. The
Citizens-Press and its energetic editors
have been too closely identified with
Franklin and Venango county to be
doomed by one fire.

Which can easily be paid from
borough treasury from present assess
ment and not raise the tax rate on Mr..
Noah's property one single, solitary
cent.
Noah's figures are no good. If he
had any basis for them except his
imagination he must have been figur-
ing on an old engine he had in the ark.
Modern automatic engines require
only one engineer, and as his hardest
work is to keep awake, he has ample
time to make all necessary repairs and
to clean and trim the lamps, which
with the new enclosed arcs has to be
done once week only.
If Mr.. Noah or any other man de-
sires to know on what my figures are
based, they can be accommodated.
The trouble with the opposition is,
however, that they don't really want
to see any statistics. They stand up
and yell at the top of their voices for
figures, and the minute they catch
glimpse of sign of figure coming
around a corner, they take to their
heels and disappear as rapidly as pos
sible in the opposite direction.

The Electric Light Question-How it
Effects the Taxpayer.

Mr.. EDITOR In searching for a
different method for lighting our
streets, it's doubtful if we find another,
as cheap as the present torch light
system, for it has no expenses for re-
pairs and labor. Being compelled to
discontinue this method, hereafter we
shall have to consider these expense
items in any other system.
Not being able to change every year,
it behooves us to consider not only the
cost, but the quantity of light from the
system we adopt. For a while we can
endure poor system, and then curse
it afterwards, as others have done.
Reports from the towns of Ridgway,
Port Allegany, Austin, st. Marys,
Tidioute and others using the gas lamp
system, say while they are enduring it,
they now are at the cursing period of
their existence.
No one complains of the quantity
and cost of electric light when free
from corporate greed. Probably our
town will adopt one of the two men
toned systems, hence it is quite proper
to compare the quantity and cost of
the light of the two systems. The

SUPERIOR COURT.
Randolph Gloves Manufacturing Go Will Not Go to Buffalo at Present


 Randolph-Clowes Manufacturing Go
 Will Not Go to Buffalo at Present.
 The Cloves Miller case may take another trip through the courts Yes terday in Hartford the case was decid- ed by the supreme court favorable to MT Miller. This means that so far as this decision can be carried out. that Mir Cloves will have nothing more to do with the firm of the Ran dolph-Clowes company. But as the interests involved are monumental and vital to Mir Gloves there is every prob ability that his counsel, the O'Neills, will endeayor to take the matter to court again. The memorandum of the supreme courts decision has not yet reached the attorneys in the case and until 1t does it will not be possi- ble to say what course. MT Cloves will take. The supreme court found error in the trial in the superior court but whether it was in the evidence or in the law applied to the case, the attor. neys cannot say.
 Twice the case has been decided fa- yorable to Mir Cloves. The first time by Judge George w. Wheeler and the second time by Judge Thayer. The latter decided that Mir Cloves could have the stock he sued for when he was ready to pay the money. That is, when he would pay over to the de fendant $72,SOO, the latter should hand over to him 919 shares of stock in the Randolph-Clowes company. This was exactly what MT Gloves desired. He claimed to have been always willing and ready to nay 0yar fIiS Silrn and that one day ill May a year or two ago he looked for MT Miller all over the city with two capitalists from New York with the sum in hard cash di- vided between them. But they could not find MT Miller From this deci- sion MT Miller took an appeal and the supreme court has reversed this deci- sion. This is taken to mean that MT Gloves cannot recover this 919 shares of stock under any conditions, and that the manufacturing firm of Ran dolph-Clowes will not go to Buffalo, this Christmas at all events
 In the case of the New Haven Trust company, receiver for the Connecticut Indemnity association, against Dan- iel E. Fitzpatrick, to recover on a promissory note for $500, Judgment for the plaintiff was found, thus sus- taining the decision of the lower court.
 Error was found in the judgment of the district court of Waterbury in the suit of Frank Clark against the Manu- facturers National bank and others. Judge Cowell of Waterbury had found against the plaintiff in an action of interpleader. Opinion by Judge Pren- tice.

SENIOR DEBATING SOCIETY.

Judges Decided for the Affirmative at
 High School Last Night.
 The Senior Debating society of the High school held very interesting meeting last night. The subject of de- bate was: Resolved, that the Chinese exclusion act is not in accordance with the spirit of American institutions.' The affirmative was upheld by John Butterly and Miss Elsie Dickson and their opponents were Edward Bradley and Miss Daisy Johnson. The judges were Bradford Webster and l.. Russell Carter, members of the junior class of Yale college, and Carl Schick. The debaters showed that they had studied the question carefully and many fnc arguments were advanced in support of both sides. The judges, however, decided that the affirmative had won. In addition to the debate recitations were delivered by James Bergin, Mau- rice Culhane, Clayton Thomas and Miss Gussie Siviter. The recitations were very good and were delivered in a clear and distinct tone. The gestures were fine. At the conclusion of the meeting Principal Stephen w. Wilby was agreeably surprised with a hand some present which, as Benjamin Fair brother said in his presentation speech, was only a small token of the regard which the members of the Senior De- batting society cherished for their prin- cipal, who has so ably presided at their different meetings. Principal Wilby made neat response in which he thanked the members most heartily and lavished compliments upon them for the remarkable success of the de batting society.

 Bristol, Dec 21.-The five varioloid patients who were removed to the temporary hospital Thursday night were all moved in an old hack belong ing to F. H. Condon & Co. The hack has been hauled to the woods quite a distance from the hospital, and will be kept there in case it should be need ed again. If not, Selectman Condon will have it burned All the patients are doing we'll to-day. The building is heated as warm as an ordinary house. Mrs Schultz, the Hartford nurse, is in charge of the patients and they will be visited by Dr A. w. Gris- wold, who had charge of Whelan. pr Brennan thinks that everything possi- Die has, been done to prevent an epi- demic. He says, however, that all children must be vaccinated before they return to school, and recommends also that the men who work in the large factories should be vaccinated at once. All the physicians about town were busy vaccinating people yester- day and large number were treated. There Is no known prejudice in Bris- fol against vaccination, as Dr Kane of Hartford stated, certainly no one has ever heard of it before. No additional cases have occurred. The houses where the cases broke out are being thoroughly fumigated. Edward Foley, brother of the two sisters who have the disease, has been allowed to go to his home on Summer street, but q guard IS being kept in front to prevent anyone from going into or out of the house. A special constable has also been placed near the temporary hospi- tai on Park street. and d telephone placed in the building.
