A Mysterious Death.

Anthony Shaniskey, the foreigner
who some days ago was found badly in
jured in a West Pittston mine, died
yesterday morning at the Pttston hospi-
tai. The victim at no time gave an in
telligible account Of the supposed attack
that led to his death. He was admitted
to the Pttston hospital a couple of
weeks ago suffering from skull injury
supposed to have been inflicted by a
Ratchet found in the vicinity.
Some say that there were frequent
thelts of powder in the mine and Shauis-
key may have been suspected and at
tackled. Other stories are to the effect
that there was trouble over woman.

were refused licenses.


In Pittston a clean sweep was made
of the places demonstrated against and
out of forty-fve applications twenty
three were refused, among them being
the Eagle and Valley House, the two
leading hotels; the restaurant of Rep
resentative Burke and those OF Domi-
nick and James Coreoran, brothers OF
Mayor Corcoran.
The refusal of so many licenses is
serious blow, in financial way, to the
city of Fttston, and will no doubt
necessitate a heavy increase in the tax
rate in order to run the city. The re-
fusal Of the twenty-three licenses means
loss Of 1900 to the city.
In Luzerne borough the Anti-Saloon
League scored another victory and of
the twenty-five places against which
remonstrances were fled sixteen were
refused In Ashley all the saloon and
hotel keepers who were refused licenses
last year were again turned down, with
the exception of one.
In Freeand the wholesale applica-
tiohs of Thos. w. Smith and w. j.
Morgan were refused.

Some of the happiest and most ideal
homes, where peace, contentment and
harmony dwell, have been the abodes
of poor people. No rich carpets cover
ed the floors, no costly paintings were
on the walls, and there We're no pianos.
no works of art, but there were con-
tented minds and unsellish and devot-
ed lives. Each member of the family
contributed as much as possible to the
happiness of all, endeavoring to COM
pensate by kindness and intelligence
for the poverty of their surroundings.

THE decreased acreage of wheat
in this vicinity will be marked this
season. Not only are the farmers
who are coming in from Iowa not
going to raise wheat as their staple
crop, but very many of our old
time resident farmers will substi-
tute more profitable crops for
wheat. The demand for seeders
and drills is not so great as during
past Years, while corn cultivating
machinery is IN greater demand
than ever before. Oats brought a
good price during the past year,
and more will be sown than usual,
and many farmers will plant pota-
toes quite extensively who had
never raised many in excess of
their own wants. These are all
favorable signs. Stock both for
the market and the dairy is at
tracttng more attention than ever.
Western Stearns is in a transit
ton stale in agriculture. More
variety, more work and more pay
for it is what the farmers propose.
The single crop idea is taking per-
manent flight.

HUNTING THE GORILLA.
An Animal West Africans Say Has

An Animal West Africans Say Has
the Soul of q Man.
Gorilla hunting is a distinct sensation
even for the veteran hunter. This ami
NAL, which has become confused some
what with fable and fiction, is a reali-
ty and decidedly unpleasant one to
engage. The west Africans are mortal
~ afraid Of it, believing that the brute
contains the spirit Of a man. They at
tribute to it all sorts of ferocities, like
the carrying off of a human being, who
is permitted to return after being de-
prived Of toe and finger nails.
"Skilled hunters have never observed
any Of these doings, but they testify to
the brute's strength and ferocity," says
Allen Sangree in Ainslee's. According
to a French sportsman, full grown
gorilla can bite through tree six inch
es thick in order to secure the sap and
twist gun barrel with the swollen
punches of muscle that serve for arms.
His roar is terrifying and can be heard
for a distance of three miles. ....

A H1ndOO Superstition.
When visits are exchanged by the
friends Of the Hindoo bride and groom
to complete arrangements for the wed
ding, great attention is paid to omens,
which are considered especially potent
then. For instance, if the groom's
messengers should meet cat, a
fox or a serpent they turn back and
seek a more propitious time for the
errand. After the brides father has
received the offer he must delay re-
plying until one Of the ubiquitous liz

demands made upon him other
than those common to every may.
or-but he has ever been ready to
lend his hearty cooperation to the
council, and to tender such advice
and recommendation as his position
warranted, and there has been the
most cordial relations between the
executive and the administrative
branches of the city. Good order
and due respect for law have been
enforced. He has taken pride in
the good name and fair fame of the
municipality. He retires with the
respect and esteem of all good cid
zens. The council has made
record which is altogether credita.

been made, economy has been

preceded the. retiring majority,
owing to a vast amount of perma-

to about $17O0-certainly an excel

years the bonded debt has been re-

levied for that specific purpose no
question of policy is involved,
The prior council did substantial
work and the present one has we'll

will have a comparatively easy task
so far as matters of finance are con-
