MAYOR SIGNS LAST BILLS
OF PRESENT ALDERMEN
Five Lights and Two Building Lines in Batch Approved
 Yesterday.

Mayor Studley yesterday afternoon affixed his signature to the last batch Of bills which the present board of aldermen will ever send in for ap- proval. In the main they were all for small matters, the leading bill signed by him yesterday being that in which Anthony Carroll petitioned for the re- turn of Clerk Donovan of the civil service commission of a record book which he claimed the former took from the controllers office and has refused to return on the claim that 1t is his property. The bill, as passed, is an order for the controller to secure the return of the book.
 According to the testimony given on the book, it contains the averages of candidates who took civil service ex- aminations over six months ago. The city charter says that such records shall remain with the controller six and MT. Donovan on the the ory that the six months have passed, took the book. MT. Carroll alleges that the book, however, is a matter of pub lie record and should be left where the public could get at it at any and all times. It's now up to Controller Rowe.
 The other matters signed are for the lighting and building lines committee. The former include orders for the erec- tion of arc lights at Sherman avenue and Percival street and at Cottage and Livingston streets and for Weisbach lights at Wilcox alley and Park alley, James street near State and on Brown ell street between Whalley avenue and Elm street.
 The building lines committee present. ed two building lines, one being that for Fillmore street, and the other that for Henry street

TO RIDE FREE.

Representative Smith, of Allie.
gheny, last week offered bill pro.
viding that all members of the
legislature, all state officials and
their clerks, justices Of the super
ior court and judges of the courts
of common pleas shall be carried
on all railroads at all times free of
charge. When the pass system
was abolished the politicians affect
ed to leel great deal of sympathy
for the poor newspaper men, who
would thus be deprived Of their
railroad transportation. Not a
newspaper man has put up even a
little hit of squeal. Dozens of
them have expressed themselves as
well pleased with the new order of
things, whereby they get hard cash
from the railroads for advertising,
and pay their fare when they have
occasion to ride. They pronounce
it more satisfactory every way, as
it allows them to do business on a
more self respecting basis. How
ever, it is the politicians themselves
that are wriggling and squealing
The introduction of this bill is an
attempt to saddle on the state the
expense of the transportation they
formerly received from the railroads
as gift. The politician, after all
is said and done, is tn. greatest
deadhead that ever lived. He new
er pays for anything except with
promises, and he never keeps a
promise unless he can do so at some
other persons expense. D1sA0,t

FORGERIES DISCOVERED.
Swindlers' Operations in This Section Run
into Thousands CT Dollars.

The banking business of Central
Pennsylvania bids fair to become
demoralized unless the swindler who
is flooding the country with bogus
checks is soon brought to earth.
Two forged checks totalling So24
were presented for payment at the
First National Bank of Sunbury
recently. The first was for $3.50
from the bank OF Wyoming near
Wilkes Barre, bearing the forged
signature OF A. & J. Moeschlin.
and the second was for S575 from
Scranton, bearing the forged sigma
ture of Blank & Gottshall.
The spurious checks which have
been accepted by outside banks and
presented in Sunbury Saturday for
payment i'll the last week amonut
to S2654. The same man working
in Williamsport passed a bogus
check for S2Io. Before all his deal
ings are uuearthed the total will
doubtless reach into many thou
sands of dollars.
So far as is known the actual
cash losses have been slight. But
the readiness with which the duped
firms accepted the bogus checks
has led to grave fears that before
long more serious losses will be
discovered. Meanwhile no bank
knows whether or not the checks
OF its customers are good. Per-
haps even now there may be many
checks charged to various accounts
and now filed away which are abb
solute iorgeries and for whose pay
ment somebody must foot the bill
when they are discovered. Bank.
ers from Williamsport to Scranton
are thoroughly alarmed and a gen
eral overhauling of all accounts is
the only thing which will allay
their uneasiuess and restore their
confidence.

THAT DOG.

We have often heard the argu-
ment from different men that their
particular dog is a valuable piece
Of property, that they pay taxes on
him and they have just as much
right to keep him as they would
have to keep a COW or a horse.
There is no gainsaying this argu.
ment. Any man has a right to
keep a dog. We have known some
men to keep six, and we do not
know Of any law that would pre-
vent his keeping a hundred. We
are, however, under the impression
that man is under the same obi
CATION TO restrain his dog as he
would be to restrain his COW. In
other words, he must not let his
dog run. If a man wants to keeI
six dogs he should fence in field
as big as he thinks he can afford
with fence that a dog can neither
Jump over or crawl through, ant
he should turn his half a dozer
dogs therein, and proceed to enjoy
them. He certainly has no righ
to turn them loose to live as bes
they can on the neighbors and th'
country.-Ex.

Another Shoemaker Burns Coal Ashes
Lock Haven Man Has Compound Like That Of
John Elmon, OF Altoona.

Whether he has guessed the Sc
cret of John Elmon, the Altoona
coub,er who has found a way to
make coal ashes burn, or has dis
covered another and equally virtu-
Gus compound, it is fact that
Peter c. Jobson, of Lock Haven,
also a shoemaker, is burning coal
ashes and getting excellent results.
Jobson, besides being shoemak
er, does a small coal business. For
IS years he has been seeking plan
whereby ashes could be burned and
has experimental from time to
time with partial success. While
he was in bed a few nights ago,
meditating, the secret came to his
mind, and it so impressed him that
he could not sleep. Friday he
mixed his compound with coal ash
es and was astouished at the results.
His shop and house were better
heated that day than ever before,
and since he has been constantly
experimenting.
Saturday he burned a combina-
ton OF four-hfths ashes and refuse
and one-fifth bituminous coal. and
with the aid of his compound, there
was a red hot fire all morning. In
the afternoon he used nothing but
ashes and refuse, and there was no
perceptible difference in the volume
of heat.
Jobson will not reveal the nature
of his compound. He will continue
to experiment from day to day, and
any one doubling that he has real
thing will soon be convinced ii they
call at his shop. The fire burns in
circle about a cylinder of the
stove and does not burn hole
through the centre. as is usual with
bituminous coal.
Z. Beatram Sylvis, an engineer
at the Avis Cut-glass Works, in
the lower end of Clinton county,
has also discovered a secret COM
pound with which it is possible to
burn coal ashes. He has worked
on his secret for the past II years
and says that about 10 cents worth
of the compound will be all that is
needed for each ton of ashes con-
sumed. Sylvis will erect factory
at Avis and manufacture his COM
pound.
