LIQUOR RAIDS
Police Goi Evidence Against
 Three Offenders Yesterday.

The police made three liquor raids yesterday. In the afternoon they got tip that it was seasonable to drop in at Garret Sayers's place, 147 Baldwin street. The visiting policemen were Hugh Flaherty and Martin Moore. A number of those who were drinking got away, but half a dozen were taken in. They were Thomas Ryan, John Parker John and Michael Griffin. Daniel CarmOdy and Thomas Keane. In the city court this morning Liquor Prosecuting Agent Hayes announced that he had six cases against the above named for being on licensed premises during illegal hours and that he had two cases against the pro prietor for keeping open and doing business during illegal hours.
 Search warrants were issued Sat urday to the police to visit the houses No 9 and the rear of No 9 Summit street. The visits took place yester- day and a big haul was made. The occupants of the houses are Frank Matasavitch and his brother Joseph At No the police found twelve dozen of bottled beer, two kegs of beer, fifteen quarts of whiskey and a few gallons of wine. In the other house was found four kegs of beer, three quarts of whiskey and about one dozen of bottled beer. These cases, unless settled. will be tried Wednes- day, as they were put down for that date.
 The continued cases against Mir Lonergan of North Elm and Kings bury streets will be called again to- morrow. but it is likely to go over to Wednesday.

 The efforts we make to mould and fashion our lives and our societies after that noble example handed down to us from centuries before the dawn of christianity, should still inspire us with faith in our fellow man.
 Let us put aside the sordid and mercenary things of life, and strug- gle to implant here below, the eter- nal hope for the blissful home, where the weary traveller finds amending rest.
 " "'The mighty flood. that rolls along, Its torrents to the main,
 Can ne'er recall its waters lost From that abyss again;
 So days and years and ages past, Descending into night,
 Can henceforth never more return Back to the gates of light;
 And man, when laid in lonesome

 Shall sleep in deaths dark gloom Until the eternal morning wakes, The slumbers of the tomb.
 Oh! may the grave become to me The bed of peaceful rest,
 Whence l shall gladly rise again, And mingle with the blest.'

County Sues Poor District.

J. A. Hess, Elisha Ringrose and
Charles II. Pohe, commissioners of
Columbia county, have brought suit
against the poor directors of Cen
tralia-Conyngham poor district to
recover Sroo5. so, money due for
the support OF the INDECENT insane
of that district, who are incarcerat-
ed in the hospital for the insane at
Danville.
Columbia county has paid this
bill, and has now brought suit
against the negligent district, in or
der to protect itself from losing the
interest on that amount, which
would be 500. 80 annually.
At the present time there are in
carcerated in the hospital T6 indi-
gent insane people, who were resi-
dents of that district and the cost of
their keeping is Si.75 per week.
This must be paid by the district,
but the law makes the county liza
BILE for the amount.
When the district failed to pay
it, the State sought to collect from
the county. The commissioners
had, therefore, nothing else to dc
but pay. and, as a result, the suit
was brought. A Judgment will nc
doubt be secured, and in that man
ner Columbia county will be paid
for the use of its money by the poor
district.
Since the above was written the
suit has been discontinued, the dis
trict having made satisfactory ar

In this class there are enumerated

Waste Paper.
he PHila. Record says.

The PHila. Rec0ra says
Director Clay has taken steps to
put a stop to the practice of litter
ing the streets with waste paper
and rubbish. The nuisance has
grown to disgraceful proportions,
and it is we'll that the ordinances
covering the subject are to be en-
forced. Now if the Director will
turn his attention to the enforce
ment of the law against the circu-
lar nuisance-which, by the way,
has a great deal to do with the un-
slightly appearance of the streets
he will confer another boon on the
long-suffering public. The lodges
which were at first practiced to
evade the ordinance prohibiting the
distribution of circulars from door
to door have of late been abandon
ed, and reams of advertising litera-
ture are daily thrown on porches
and stuffed under doors. to the
great annoyance of householders.
Why is the Anti. Circular law a
dead letter."
We again call the attention of
our Town Council to the waste
paper nuisance. 1t is a most de-
testable practice and must be abat-
ed. Do they care about the clean
illness of the town? Is this year to
be as the past years have been?--
Dogs, waste paper and dirty alleys'

This, however, is a mistake. The
season opens on October 18th in
