Grave engineering difficulties are
suggested by The fact that there is a
total difference 10 be overcome In can
al and sea level OF 22O vertical feet.
Unfortunately another drawback OF
much more serious nature cOnfrOnts
the projectors Of this undertaking,
The most difficult engineering work
In connection with the construction Of
the canal win be the building OF a dam
across the San Juan river, a feature
which IS specified IN the new Hepburn
bill az mn integral part of the plans
There are engineers who say that such
a dam cannot be constructed with any
certainty Of rs permunency or safety.
Nicaragua has always been the seat Of
seismic commissions There Is scarcely
a month during which some kind OF
disturbance is not noticed. These dis
turbanCes always center near the line
OF the Nicaraguan volcanoes Should
such q cataclysm occur as that which
inundated Nicaragua with lava aud
ashes IN 1885, what would be the effect
upon the dam, and consequently upon
the canal? The explosion lasted two
days and the mass elected into the air
was sufficient 20 have covered a sur
face equal TO about half the continent
OF Europe, ashes being carried fifteen
hundred miles out To- sea, As late as
1883 there was an eruption OF vol

disposed off, The bill calls for an az
gregate appropriation Of Slso0Oo.OO0 to
cover cost Of construction and its pro-
visions imply the use OF the Nicaragua

Washington, Jan. 1.-The people Of
the United States will shortly through
their representatives decide upon which
route 10 adopt for the construction OF
an isthmian canal uniting the Atlantic
and Pacific,
At the present moment the Panama
route, although by far the shorter Of
the two and one upon which millions
OF dollars have already been expended
is considered TO be out Of the question
altogether.
Into this vast ditch a large amount
OF French capital was thrown at a time
when II looked as II the canal was to
be an International affair. owing to
the sudden understanding arrived at
with G 4 Britain contained In the
newly ratified Paunceforte- Hay trea-
ty and the introduction Of bills at
Washington, favoring the Nicaraguan
route, by Messrs Hepburn and Morgan
the Panama canal people have been
goaded TO sudden action,
NJ. Huun. who was 80 long president
OF the De Lesseps attempt has been re-
moved from that position and We are
very likely to receive some favorable
offer from this company which would
probably be glad to sacrifice much TO
obtain something out Of the wreck OF
their plans.
The comparative value OF the two
routes has already been decided upon
by a Senate committee on interoceanic
canals and q bill was passed by the
House OF Representatives authorizing
the President to acquire from Nicara-
qua and Costa Rca such territory as
Il would be necessary to control In or
der to build and fortlfy the canal, The
bin provides that the canal should be of
sufficient depth and capacity 10 permit
the movements Of ships Of the largest
tonnage and greatest depth now In use
and should be made from a point near
Greytown on the Caribbean Sea via
lake Nicaragua. TO Breto on the Pacific.

Lumbermen Surprised.

Williamsport Bulletin: Seth T. Fores-
man went up the river Wednesday to
look after their upper river drive,
known as the Flynn drive, consisting
of 100000 feet.
Brown, Clarke & Howe's Sinnema-
honing and Kettle creek drives and
the Flynn drives were all supposed to
meet at Keating, there unite, and come
through as one drive. On Mr.. Fores-
mans arrival at Karthaus, however, he
was surprised to find that Flynn's drive
chung up" Wednesday.
Lumbermen here are somewhat sur
prised at his action, as great deal
more headway could have been made,
easily reaching Keating. All agree
that this is the lightest rear drive
known for many years, and it should
certainly have been driven number
of miles more.

Killed a Big Blacksnake.

Gazette and Bulletin: The snake sea-
son is opening early this year. Saturday
afternoon Moses Sondheimer, the we'll
known insurance agent, came across a
six foot blacksnake on Bald Eagle
mountain that seriously objected to
being disturbed in its sunbath. The
angry reptile threw itself into an ag-
gressive attitude, and with head erect
and flashing eyes defied attack. When
Mr.. Sondheimer made a pass at it the
snake showed a disposition to become
the attacking party itself and started in
to drive the insurance man off the side
of the mountain. Fortunately, how
ever, well aimed or may be a chance
stone, broke the ebony serpents back,
and the rest of the battle was easy.
The snake measured trife less than
six feet, and was splendid specimen
of its kind.

Ruling Upheld.

The postmaster at Jasper, Mo-, an
nounced some weeks ago that he would
no longer deliver mail between 4 and
4:30 p. m. to children going home from
school, because of the disturbance and
disorder resulting from a concerted
decent of the "kids" upon the post
office. One parent took exception to
this ruling and complained to the De-
partment at Washington, in the hope of
compelling the Postmaster to set it
aside. The Postmaster General, how
ever, upheld the local representative.
The ruling having been officially sane.
toned at headquarters will be perma-
nently enforced.

DEATHS DOINGS.
SLAWSON.

SYLVESTER ]. SLAwsoN, aged so
years, after an illness of over one year,
died at the residence of H. G. Lyon,
West Creek, April 18th, 1902. Funeral
took place last Sunday, interment being
made in Newton Cemetery. Rev.
Pugsley, pastor of Baptist church of
ficiated. Deceased came to this county
about 1874 and has no relatives here,
except an uncle, Mr.. b. Ostrum, of
Whittimore Hill. He was always a
Woodworking man and it is said that
he would, and did, give his last dollar
to help the needy and helpless. His
last days were full of suffering and his
great charity for his fellow man, we
believe, will go long ways toward his
future happiness.
HELLYER.
The death of Mrs. ELLEN HELLYER,
last Sunday evening, from paralysis,
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Theodore Hackett, was a sorrowful
surprise to the community. About
four weeks ago she fell down long
fight of stairs, sustaining injuries that
eliminated in creeping paralysis, that
ended her life, Mrs. Hellyer was born
in Monroe County, near the city of
Easton, SO years and six months ago.
For several years past she has resided
in Emporium with her sonin-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Hackett, by whom with circle of
choice friends her loss is sincerely
mourned. OF a retiring nature she was
little seen by the world, but held in
highest esteem by all who had the
privilege Of her acquaintance. Two
children survive her, Mrs. Theo
Hackett, of this place, and Mrs. Emma
Lee, Delaware Water Gap. The funeral
was held from her late home on Third
street, Tuesday last at 200 p. m. and
was largely attended. The Rev. O. s..
Metzler, pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church conducted the servi-
ces, while impressive musical selections
we're rendered by the choir of the
church. Interment was made in New
ton Cemetery.

Jim 7,illman was "Tired. .

Jim Tillman and some friends took
a street car ride in Charleston, the
other night. The Charleston Post
thus tells the story:
"This is Chicory Park, the damned
est longest ride that l ever got for my
money" This is the way that jim
Tillman, the parliamentarian, deliver
ed himself when the car reached the
station at Chicora Park about 10
O'Clock last night. He was accompan-
led by four friends. They all repeated
the remark of Tillman in turn. They
were all probably candidates for Offices
or coat-tail swingers, and they wanted
to be in accord with their chieftain.
One of the party suggested that sleep
ing cars ought to be put on the run,
which seemed to find ready acc 1ptance
among the statesmen. There is no
question of the fact that sleep you'd
have proven a good thing FOR the en-
tire party, they needed it.
