Mount Union. DR.. Lees S reply
was prompt: SMALLPOX" DR..
Bonbrake asked the question be-
cause of the rumors that the dis
ease was not smallpox. He quick
ly told DR.. Lee that the Mount
Union quarantine had been brok-
en- and that Fir ,nklin county was
suffering from the laxity of the
officials. DR.. Lee was surprised
at the facts and said that he would
double the Mount Union guards.
"Seyeral months ago it was de
cided that the disease over which
Gettysburg was highly worked
up was not smallpox but chicken
pox. That this was gross mis-
take is proven by the report from
the state authorities that the
Mount Union epidemic, which
has developed such direful size,
was started from the illness of
young colored girl who contract.

domestic in Gettysburg. On
Saturday it was reported that
East Waterford, Juniata county,
had a dozen cases OF smallpox, al

Waterford is about the same DIS

The Scalp Bilt Defeated.

The only scalp or bounty bill
that got out of committee and IN.
to the House this session, was de.
feated last Wednesday night by a
vote of 7S to 81.
BY this vote 1T might seem to
some that the bill was carried:
but it must be remembered that
1T takes majority ofal the mem
bers IN the House-103, to get a
bill through. Our representative
did all lie could to have the meas
ure PASSED.
The bill was brief and provided
simply for a bounty of 81. 80 on
wildcat and S1.25 on foxes, mo-
tion to amend by putting twenty
five cents on hawks having been
voted down. This bill was offer
ed by Representative Sitter of
Schuylkill county, and was re-
ported out of the same com mlttee
that had Representative Alsip's
bill before it throughout the en-
tire session but which it buried
the same fate that befelI many
bills.

Thirty-FIye Shows.

Miss Lavinia Long of this place
informs us that she has kept a
careful record of the SHOWS that
have fallen at McConnellsburg
during the past winter. Accord
ing to her record snow fell on the
following dates:
November 10, %, and 27.
December 3, 10, II, II, u, a,
and 25.
January 2, ;, :, II, 10, Is, Is,
25, 27, and 30.
February 1, 5, s, -, is, 20, and
22.
March l, 4, Z, 10, and II.
April Z and s.
The coolest days, says Miss
Long, were December 10 and "a +;
January 5, II, and 25; March s
and 20.
March was an unusually fine
month. Not within the memory
of the Oldest inhabitant has there
been March so free from wind
and freezing weather, ice having
been formed but once or twice,
and then only of a trifing thick
ness. AS consequence the win
ter crops and grass have an un-
usually fine start.

DEAD AGAIN.
The Greasy Trolley Killed in the House
Last Week.

On Monday night of last week
the House of Representatives at
Harrisburg laid to rest, for at
least two years, the Greasy troll
ley bill to permit trolley lines in
this State to carry freight. This
bill had been reported from com
mittee, with negative recon
mendation, and to put any bill on
the calendar under such circum-
stances, requires q majority vote
of the House.
On Monday night Mr.. Greasy
offered such a resolution, and
called for the ayes and nays in or
der to put the LENDERS on re-
cord. In support of this resolu.
ton, Mr.. Greasy made his third
apeech of the session on this bill
and he was followed in support of
it by his colleague Harmon, of
Columbia, and by Slpes of Full
ton.
Mr.. Sipes, in substance, sad
that he did not know what the
legislature had done up to that
time, nor what it might do before
the close of the session, to dis
tinguish itself; but if it would put
this bill upon the calendar, and
enact the same into law 1t would
do more for this commonwealth
than it had done since 1884 when
the law establishing the common
schools was enacted. He SAID the
House had heard from the gentle
man from Lancaster (Mr. Nc.
Claim last week and also to night,
that there was no demand for
such legislation, that the people
were not asking it. Mr.. Slpes
demanded to know upon what
authority the gentleman under
took to speak, for the whole State,
and in particular for the county
of Fulton, and wanted to know
If Mr.. McClain had ever had his
foot IN Fulton county, and what
he knew of the conditions exist
ing there.
Mr.. Sipes insisted that there
was demand for just such legis-
latlon-not only in Fulton, but in
nearly ever section of Pennsyl-
vanla, and that his people were
more interested IN that subject
than in any other one thing that
could possibly come before the
legislature.
In referring to Thomas V.
Cooper's criticism, in which he
said that Mr., Creasy's persisting
in this matter was an obstruction
to legislation, Mr.. Sipes said that
the Democrats admired their
leader for his persistency, and
that they would stand by him and
ioia with him in his persistency
until they and the people got what
they wanted.
When the vote was taken 66
were recorded in favor of the res
olution, which shows a growing
interest in this subject; and that
the time is not far distant, when
the sentiment of the people will
be so strong that no man will dare
to stand up and oppose it.

They Want the Monument.

That the editorial which APP
peared in the last issue of THE
DISPATCH met with approval is
evinced by the following letter
from Miss Annie Wade O'Neill,
an enthusiastic member of the
local chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy:
EDITOR DISPATCH: wa s
much gratitied to see in a recent
issue of your paper, that you are
again advocating a movement to
place a Confederate monument
at the intersection of Main and
Market streets.
This is a work that I am sure
will meet with the hearty approx
al of the good people of our city.
1t is to commemorate cause in.
which they sym pathized. a
cause from which they suffered,
| a cause in which their loved ones
bled and died, and [ feel that if
the good work is but started,
one and all, they will lend liber-
ally, their means and sympathy
to further the end in view
The Daughters of the Con
federacy are not able financially
to build the monument alone.
We do not want the Veterans to
undertake the work with US,
they have done their part. With
the help of the Sons of Veterans,
it woald be a good many years
before it could be unveiled.
There is but one way, popular
subscription. Let it be built
by the leople. by the people
who love and revere the memory
of the men who wore the gray.
Let them by their united efforts
place, in the most central spot.
a monument that VIII be tit
ting testimonial of the love and
devotion we all bear for our
Confederate dead. And each
day the thousands who throng
this thoroughfare will be re-
minded of those mobiles long
since gone, who gave their hearts,
their lives. their all for a cause
they believed to be right.
We cannot expect to build the
monument this month or this
year, but it is begun and it will
be done Thus slowly, but
surely the fund will grow. For
a beautiful work like this, in
which our people are so deeply
interested, cannot, will not,
shall not fail. | herewith give
$50 to start the fund and shall
do all in my power to raise a
sufficient amount for the purpose
we have in view. Hoping TO
| meet with great success.
