Three men were arrested in Carbon

a number Of FISH below the limit in

BRIEF MENIION.

tfhnA u. STOCKTON, we'll known
author, died at Washington last
Sunday.
The dust on the Port Jervis road
this week was beyond Its usual quail
ity quantity and density.
Frank Simmer, brother Of Evi
Sinner Of the Port Jervis Gazette,
died very suddenly in Denver, Coll
orado, last week.
Street Commissioner Steele began
sprinkling the streets Wednesday,
which proved a great reliel from
the dust which had become very
dense.
Mrs. Wager by her will devised
her house on Seventh street TO her
four sons for life with remainder in
fee to her four grandsons, sons of
w. M. Wager.
Rev Fletcher s. Gariss of Flat
brookville has been appointed pastor
of the M E. church at Branchville.
He is a recent graduate Of Drew
theological seminary.
James NJ. Bensley Of Lehman is
quite sorely afflicted. His wife has
suffered a second stroke of paralysis
and is practically helpless and a
daughter he fears is suffering with
that dread disease, consumption.
The county commissioners last
Saturday contracted the building of
the abutments, replacing the bridge
and repairs Of the bridge across
Adams creek near Laf. Quick's in
Delaware to Harry L. Brisoo for
B169.
The Ladies' Aid society Of the
Presbyterian church will probably
hold its last social meeting for the
season in the church parlors Thursday
evening, May 1st. Let this be the
best attended Of any, though all have
been very pleasant gatherings.
Hon. J. b. Westbrook, who has
been a few days at Richmond, Va,
returned to his home at Dingmans
Wednesday evening not improved in
health. His condition is understood
to be very serious and there has
been a gradual decline Of his powers
during his absence which does not
argue well for his recovery.
Samuel McEwen, residing in Chi
cago, a son-in-law of Arthur B Nc
Carly of this town, was attacked by
two footpads while returning to his
home one night few days ago and
severely beaten in an attempt to rob
him. He fought the scOundrels off
and they were unsuccessful in OBJ
tanning his money or valuables but
he was so badly injured that he was
in the hospital several days.
One Of the particular joys Of this
season Of the year is being on your
knees with a mouthful Of taeks and a
small hammer in your hand putting
down carpet and occasionally pound
ing your thumb while racking your
brain to find some new form of speech
to express your sentiments. The
above, of course, only applies to
those who cannot induce their wives
TO relieve them Of the pleasure.
The Philadelphia Press reports say
that the trout fishing in this and
adjoining counties is unusually good
this spring and it argues that this
proves the wisdom Of the fish COM
mission In sending out small trout
fry for stocking streams instead of
year old fish, If the fact was as
stated that fishing is good 1t might
support the contention, but so far as
we are informed the catches here
have not been such as to warrant the
statement.

II have not the slightest hesi-

suffering from coughs or colds, -
says Chas. N. Cramer, Esq, a well
known watch maker of Colombo,
Ceylon. ''It has been some two
yoars since the City Dispensary first
called my attention to this valuable
medicine and 1 have repeatedly
used it and it has always been ben
eficiai. it has cured me quickly Of
all chest colds. It is especially ef-
fective for children and seldom
takes more than one bottle to cure
them Of boarseness. I have per-
suaded many to try this valuable
medicine and they are as well pleas
ed as myself over the results. For

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

In the presence Of three hundred
representatives, some forty sena-
tors and galleries packed with men
aud women, but Amid silence rs
complete as it was dram ttic. forty
odd republicans pissed between
Messrs Payne and Tawney, acting
as tellers, and then mighty
cheer burst from the democratic
side Of the house of representatives
and the democrats hastened forward
to be counted on the motion to over
rule the decision of Mr. Sherman
chairman of the committee of the
whole. The cheer must have sound
ed like a vail in the ears Of Mr.
Payne, for in that brief moment he
seemed to visibly age, his hands
dropped to his sides and his head on
his breast, while in tones which
were audible TO the farthest corner
of the chamber, Mr.. Tawney con-
tinued the count until he announced
the vote III to 1870, and for the first
time in history the Reed rules were
overthrown, precedent cast aside
and the Cuban reciprocity bill, 50
earnestly ohampioned by the presi-
dent and on which the republican
leaders had stalked all their prestige
had been weighted down with free
trade mill stone which was calcu-
latel to sink it in the oblivion of a
conference committee. Cuba's hopes
of American generosity had been
shattered.

educational Exhibit at oharleston.

Educational Exhibit at Charleston.
In the last three or four exposi-
tions held in this country, education
al institutions have taken a promi-
nent part. Persons interested in ed
ucation will find no lack of material
to attract their attention in the
Charleston exposition, where will be
found the best arranged and most
completely representative exhibit Of
the existing phases Of education yet
made in any or-the southern states.
1t was arranged by DR.. S. II. Pea
body, who also installed the educa-
tional exhibits for the expositious at
Chicago and at Buffalo, An examl-
nation Of the list of universities, col
leges and other educational instltu-
ti0ns involved would give a compre-
hensive idea of the importance Of the
exhibit. Not only are Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Pennsyl-
vaLia and a host Of other universities
and colleges represented, but also
numerous technical and art schools,
woman's colleges, normal schools
and public schools. The unique dis
play from kindergartens from all
parts Of the United States is also
very renarkablej It includes several
exhibits from the Hawaiian islands.

Philippines but yielded to Senator
Morgan OF Alabama who, with
characteristic energy, proceeded to
deliver a 10000 word speech on the
Nicaraguan canal, speaking for Ave
consecutive hours. Whatever may
prove to be the effect on isthmian
canal legislation, the effect Of the
Alnbaminn's uratory on the senate
was Immediately apparent. Within
ten minutes the senate chamber
was practically empty and so re-
mained for the rest of the day. To
day consideration Of the Philippine
bill will begin in earnest.
Etrly last week the announce.
ment was made at the war depart
ment that General Miles would he
retired in the near future and that
the order for his retirement would
be accompanied by statement Of
the offenses which had prompted
the president TO take this action.
Since then. however, many repub-
lioan senators have called at the
Whit House aud have finally per-
sualed Mr.. Roosevelt TO refrain.
at least for the present, from taking
80 drastic step, While the sena.
tors conceded that there was ample
provocation for the retirement of
tle g inerAl, they plinted out to the
president that Miles would be retr-
ed by law one year from next
August and they believed it would
he policy to put up with the incou-
venience and annoyance of his in
cunbency until that time.
There has developed among the
minority of the senate committee on
the Philippines disposition to pro-
long the Investigation of that com.
mittee and so delay adjournment
beyond the middle of June at which
date the steering committee had
hoped to complete the work of the
session. The democrats have de-
manded that Aguinaldo be summon
ed as witness and are evidently
seeking to embarrass the admins
tration in every way possible. Sem
ator Cullom, a member of the steer
ing committee, says that If the 18th.
mian canal bill gets before the SEN
ate it will be impossible to adjourn
before the middle of july and Sena-
tor Allison, chairman of the com
mittee, is my authority for the
statement that the canal question
will be considered at this session.

1t was late Friday afternoon when
Representative Dalzell concluded
the general debate on the Cuban re-
oiprocity bill with a forceful and
logical speech Immediately Judge
Morris Of Minnesota offered the
amendment, previously offered in
the committee on ways and means
by Mr.. Tawney, and which provid-
ed for the removal Of duty on.refin-
ed sugar. Mr.. Payne promptly
made the point of order that the
amendment was not germane to the
bill and the question was argued for
hours. the chairman finally deciding
the point we'll taken. Tawney APP
pealed from the decision of the
chair and f rty odd republicans vot-
ed with the democrats and over
ruled the chars decision. The

Speaking on this subject yester

indicated, there will be any hope Of
its getting through the house.
There was no expectation on the
part OF those republicans who voted
with the democrats to 80 hamper
the measure. that the bill would
eventually become a law as, we're it
60 do so, it would prove more iniur-
ious to the beet sugar interests than
would Cuban reciprocity. The ao-
ton of the democrats IN voting
