He engaged board in the family Of
Ephraim Lukins, in Kensington, ar
irving at the house on the 21st OF April,
apparently in excellent health. For two
or three days he took his meals at the
table with the other boarders, making
no complaint Of illness, but came home
at Q O'Clock on the evening Of the oath,
and reported that he had been to see the
steam DOCTORS" who mad steamed him
for threa hours and then washed him
with c1ld - iter aud given him cold wa
tor 10 drink then had given him q very
severe IN 'J,c, and a violent purgative,
after whiii n was put to bed and Kept
there unit ne irly night. He had finally
arisen and reached Mr.. Lukins's with
great difficulty, lie complained OF feel
ing very weak, with much oppression
about his heart. and great giddiness.
He was very chilly, and his face witch
ed ani hands jerked violently.
The next morning he was worse but
was able to explain that he had gune to
the steam doctors' because he had OF
times been troubled with rheumati tisn,,
and Oliver { ilkin, a Damascus neigh
Dor, advised him to vieit them as they
had successfully treated him for very
sore leg.
He took frequent doecs of red liquid
mixture, which turned milky white
when mixed with sugar aud water, aud
which finally made his throat go sore
and raw that he could no longer sWal-
low it. Apparently improving trifle
in strength, however, ne concluded to
return to Damascus on the 2S h, as some
of his neighbors were going home and
would take care Of him. He left in au
omnibus on that evening, thinking to
go to the Black Horse tavern, where bis
friends were stay ing, but was obliged
to return to Mr.. Lukins's, being go weak
that he could scarcely stand alone.
The family physician Of the house
was then called, but jackson steadily
grew worse, with fever, convulsions and
delirium, until the evening Of the 9th ol
May, when in az unusually severe par.
oxysm be died.
Great excitement and indignation fol.
lowed his death, especially among the
river men, who believed that he had
oeen the victim Of quackery, malprsc
tice or worse. A number OF affidavits
and condemnatory contributions were
published in the papers, the man who
had had charge of Mr.. Lukins fed, and
Governor George Wolf offered a reward
of 1900 for his apprehension, but all eE
forts to clear up tho mystery failed, and
the steam doctors" escaped the punish
mont which they probably deserved.

THK amendment to the British patent

patents to engage In the production OF
the patented article, or to operate the
patented process, at some place In
Great Britain, is bearing the fruit OF
the protective policy. Many foreign

holding British patents, have begun
work in England, and others are prepar.

field estimate that more than &l0O, 900, COG

score was Carbondale, 0 Honeedale, 4.
The Taylor Reds, the Champion team OF
Lackawanna county, come over to give
Honesdale it's 6rst defeat OF the season 1;
and they came very close to doing it too.
But the balloon went up in the seventh,
and the whole visiting team took ride.
Two singles, double and Wild throw
gave Taylor three runs in the first in
ming. After two we're out in the fifth q
bad throw gave another Red a eatety nt
first, two doubles then made two more
runs for the visitors. They then had
five, and Honesdale none. But Sonner
drew a pass in that fifth inning, and
Giles's two bagger scored him. The To-
calls began to get on in the sixth, making
two safe hits, but we're unable TO get
one over the rubber. Murray started
the seventh with clean single Sonner
was safe on an error. Singles and er-
rors then came right along, until there
had been four OF each, and seven EAg lea
had circled the bases for tallies.
Hessling famed IL, gave passes, hit
Evans, and allowed z hits. Weisen fluh
struck out 4, gave passes and allowed
10 hits. Giles, Of Carbondale, played

"Can you not spare for me ten minutes, only ten
short minutes more?" her burning eyes riveted
upon his face.
Clasping her in his arms and kissing eyes, brow
and lips he answers
"a hundred if you will"
To this she makes reply, sadly, wearily,-"What
would be the use? If you staid today, tonight and
tomorrow, we would still be looking into each
others eyes, wearing out our hearts with vain
longings for what might have been. God bless
and keep you always my darling" AS she speaks
There broke two hearts.
"And between them fell the ruins of two fair
lives.'
