TENTH ANNIVERSARY.

Last Sunday was the tenth ami
versary of the pastorate of Rev.
DR.. G. H. Hemingway of the
Presbyterian church. Special SER
vices were arranged, including a
sermon by the pastor on the work
of the church in the past ten years.
DR.. Hemingway's pastorate
has been eminertly successful. He
is recognized as one of the best
pulpit orators in this section. The
church membership has increased,
the indebtedness has been paid off ,
and the church has progressed and
prospered under his leadership.
He is interested and active in all
movements that look to the better
ment of the community, and is
popular with all classes, regardless
of creed.
1t is hoped that he will celebrate
his twentieth anniversary here.

FOR COUNTY TREASURER.

Ex-sheriff John Mourey was in
town on Tuesday, and was warmly
greeted by his many old friends.
There has been a rumor prevalent
that he would be a candidate for
Associate Judge, but he says this is
not correct, as the other side has a
representative on the bench in the
person of Judge Yeager, he thinks
that the north side is entitled to one
associate.
Many of his friends are urging
him to enter the field as a candi-
date for county treasurer, and as
the custom is to give that Office to
the south side every third term,
Mr.. Mourey is considering the
matter. Should he run he will
make strong showing, as he is
well acquainted throughout the
and has large following.

WITH INCREASED ASSESSMENT
Conyngham Township Will be Enabled I,
Pay its Debts.

A dispatch from here to the
Philadelphia Press is as follows:
The increase in the assessed valua-
ton of the coal lands in Convng-
ham Township this year will result
in material good to that district.
Heretofore the township was always
financially embarrassed and the
Conyngham Poor Board were so
completely without funds that when
patients were sent to the Hospital
for the Insane at Danville, the
Poor Board could not meet the bills
and as a result the county had to
pay them.
Now, however, with the assessed
valuation increased to something
over $3.50, 900, the townships share
of the taxes will be ample to pay
off all the Indebtedness. The debt
to the county for insane patients is
about $1,000.
Notwithstand ng the increase in
the assessments of coal lands, the
other taxpayers Of that section
claim that thev are still not any
where near what they should be,
and cite instances of tracts of land
assessed for $500 per acre that
could not be purchased for $40, 900
per acre, and buildings assessed at
$1,000 or $4,000 that are worth
nearer 500. 900.
The coal companies which have
holdings in the Conyngham and
Centralia district, however, do not
intend to let the increase in their
assessments pass without a fight.
Two attorneys representing the coal
companies were in Bloomsbury this
week and went over the assessment
books in the County Commissioners
Office. They made detailed notes
of the entries for use when the
Board of Appeals sits at Centralia
for that section.
While they refused to discuss the
matter at length, they stated that
the coal companies considered they
were being taxed too heavily in
proportion to other lands in this
county, and claimed that the asses
sors should fix an assessment on
the holdings in one lump sum in
stead of naming each separate piece
of land and building.

MORE COUNTY BONDS.

AT their meeting on Tuesday the
county commissioner; decided upon
the issue of series of bonds in the
sum Of $50, 900, to provide for the
funding of certain bonded and float
ing Indebtedness of the county. A
statement of the purposes for which
the bonds will be used has been
filed in the office of the Clerk OF
Quarter Sessions.
The bonds will be q per cent. in
terest, payable semi-anuually.
The issue of bonds became neces-
sary because there were no funds
to pay the Indebtedness, the only
other way to raise the money being
to increase the county rate from 4
mills to 61a mills, and this the
commissioners felt would be bur-
densoale to the tax payers. The
raising of valuation at the tri.ennial
assessment will increase tn, county
revenues so that it will not be ne
cessary to raise the tax rate.
The new bonds will be sold at
public auction at the court house
on Friday, March Ist, at 10 o'clock.

SAFER TO WALK.

With the appalling loss of life
recently by land and sea one almost
feels that the only safe way to
travel is to stay at home or walk.
Last week fifty persons were
drowned in a collision on Long
Island Sound, and three times that
number went down in a wreck on
the other side of the Atlantic.
On Saturday the Pullman flyer
on the Pennsylvania railroad,
known as the IS hour train between
New York and Chicago, jumped
the track near Johnstown, Pa. and
every one of the 81 passengers, and
the 10 employees on the train was
injured. Fortunately no one was
killed. Three sleepers went down
an embankment 60 feet into the
Conemaugh River.
Another fast train on the same
road on Sunday ran into an open
switch at Pittsburg, but no one was
hurt.
So almost every day The papers
contain accounts of accidents to
travellers on the water and on the
rail. So long as there are people
who demand fast traius the rail
roads will iun them, and people
who ride on them take their own
risks, but will not forget to ask for
damages when accidents occur.
OF the many terrible accidents of
recent date, entailing loss of life
and suffering, the most horrible
were the sinking OF the Joy line
steamer and the drowning and
freezing of nearly two hundred
people. and the wreck of the elec-
trio train near New York City in
which men and women were liter
ally ground to bits by being drag
ged over the frozen ground. "Speed
madness" and the attempt of the
transportation corporations to ham
die just as many people as possible
at the minimum of cost regardless
of real safety, may be safely given
as the causes of these horrifying
accidents.

solitary rnarksman, who from time to
time sent bullet unpIeasantly close.
At last the general turned to his order

dismount. take his carbine and try and
stalk the mountaineer. The sowar
started of, and presently there was 4

THE ELECTRIC CRATER.
How The Arc Light ls Produced Ese-
3a4sS .as tNyeer, The Electrodes. M \. 3D.

How the Are Light Is Produced E.e-s
tween the Electrodes.
Everybody knows that an arc light
is formed by causing an electric cur
rent to pass between the points OF two
carbon rods. One of these Is called
the positive AMI the other the mega
tive electrode, and the current passes
from the former to the latter. Parti-
cles Of carbon are carried on from the
positive electrode until its end be-
comes cup shaped. j{s Y ss3 :5
To the little cup thus formed the
name Of crater is applied. and from
this crater four-ffths of the light Is
emitted, The negative electrode does
not become so hot as the other. Be
tween the two a little cloud Of vapor-
lied carbon Is formed, rising from the
craseE and this vapor gives forth q
golden fellow light. But it is over
powered by the light OF the crater it,
self, which has a Violet tinge due to the
incandescence Of solid particles of car
bon. The arc OF light extended from
one. electrode to the other also has an.
axis OF violet color which is its most
brilliant part. The fact that most of
| the luminosity comes from the crater
explains the reason why the light does
/ not appear equal In oil directions. It
lis brightest from that point of view
which shows the largest portion of the
crater. n s$4
AN interesting effect Is often noticed
when flies or other insects flutter about
/ an are light. Their shadows cast on a
neigh boring wall appear. gigantic. The
reason is that the light OF the crater
| Is concentrated in point smaller than
4 the bodies Of the insects, and the bound
aries Of the shadows consequently
widen with increase OF distance. st.
