Company furnish light for the Council
Chamber and the City Clerks office
free of CHARGE
The Tungsten lights mentioned in
the above resolution have been given a
trial in the Borough of New Hope and
have been pronounced an excellent
light.
The electric light question has been
one of considerable discussion for the
past month. The George street has
been the one most affected. On the
9th day of September the coil on this
circuit was struck by lightning. COM
pletely burning it out. The position
taken by the Light Company is, that
after the coil had burned out they inn
mediately ordered another, which was
delivered shortly after, but this coil
was not wound properly at the plant
of the Company and it, in turn burn
ed out. After the second coil had been
burned out, the Company deferred
putting in an additional new coil
pending the making of a new contract
with the city. The members of Coun-
Gil have been subjected to more or less
criticism during the past month on
account of the light situation and the
explanation given aboye should give
assurance that such criticism was un-
deserved, the cause of the trouble living
with the light company. 1t is expect
ed that the new contract will contain
a provision requiring the light COM
pany to carry an extra coil on hand at
all times, which will save the city
much trouble in emergencies such as
it has just had.
The following bills were ordered
paid:

The People Rule.

We hear a great deal nowadays
about the indifference of our rep
representatives in the legislature
and in Congress to the will of the
people. The truth of the matter
is, that it is very seldom that eth
er body deliberately ignores the
will of the people, and when they
do they hear from the people at the
next election. Two recent cases
are the hunters license law, or gun
tax, in the Pennsylvania, and the
attempt to impose an odious tax on
magazines in Congress. Public
opinion in both cases, forced an
abandonment of the scheme. Old
Pennypacker, it is true, crowded
through his press mueller, but the
next legislature promptly repealed
it, and Pennypacker, today, could
not be elected town pump in his
own ward Canton Sentinel.

New Lumber Roads.

Plans have been completed for
the construction of an eight-mile
lumber railroad to connect with the
Lehigh Valley at Lopez, Sullivan
county. The Stony Brook Lum-
Der Company is the builder of the
new road. The road will be of
standard guage to accommodate
the Lehigh Valley cars. Surveys
are now being made by Hirem E.
Bull of Towanda.
The tract penetrated by the road
contains 2,2OO acres of virgin tim
ber. two million feet have been
cut already. 1t is expected that
the tract will be valuable source
of traffic for ten or twelve years.
In addition to the lumber the
property includes valuable beds of
clay which will be used in the
manufacture of brick and tile.

An Interesting Campaign.

The coming campaign in Brad
ford county promises to be an in
teresting and exciting one. There
isno dearth of candidates, there be-
ing as many as half dozen seek
ers after single Office. An anus
ing feature of the campaign is that
considerable number of candi-
dates have not yet determined to
which party they belong.-Brad-
ford Star.
We wonder if these conditions
are troubling any of our Sullivan
County people. There were a few
keystone votes cast in Sullivan
County at the last election, but the
casters have been 50 quiet ever
since we suppose they are trying to
find to which party they belong.
Does any one know how many Of
the present candidates asking for
the nominations under the old par
ties were quietly voting the Key
stone ticket last election?

McHenry Whiskey 0verheated.

A fire which caused loss of
over 81, 900, 900 and in which II,
600 barrels of whiskey were burned,
occurred at the McHenry Distillery
at Benton on Monday evening,
when the largest bonded warehouse
OF the company burned to the
ground. The fire was discovered
about 7 O'Clock and was beyond
control in a short time. Fear of
an explosion retarded the work of
fighting the flames. The building
was erected in 1907 at a cost of
$50, 900 and was one of the most
modern in the country. 1t was
eight stories high. The reflection
of the flames could be seen from
all parts of the country, many
thinking it form of aurora bore
alis. The insurance carried on the
building and stock of liquor was
small.

Killed In Mine Explosion,

Patrick Lynott, aged about so,
and Daniel Hoffa, about 35 years
of age, lost their lives through the
premature explosion of charge of
dynamite which they were putting
in a rock in the Murray coal mine
at Murraytown Sullivan county
Friday of last week.
Lynott was instantly killed, and
Hoffa lived about five minutes after
being found.
The men were driving a heading,
being at work about two miles un-
der the ground, and at least 175
feet down. They encountered a
wall of rock at least six feet in
thickness and at once prepared to
blow it out with dynamite so they
could get at the coal. just what
happened will never be known, as
no one knew of the accident until
1920 Michael Carroll, the driver
boss, opened the door to the cham
Der in which the men had been
working and smelling smoke, start
ed to close it, thinking that a
charge of powder was about to be
fired.
He heard groan, and stepping
inside the chamber in the dim light
from his lamp, saw the two men
on the floor, Hoffa lying across
Lynott. Hoffa turned his head,
and said, "bring my coat; I'm
cold"
Carroll secured help and Hoffa
was carried into the next chamber,
breathing his last as they placed
him in comfortable position.
Lynott was dead, and the indi-
cations are that he has been in
stantly killed. His clothes had
been torn from his body, only his
only his shoes remaining. One
hand was blown off and his body
was badly mutilated.
Hoffa was also badly cut up by
the force of the explosion, but not
as badly as Lynott.
An examination of the chamber
showed that the men had drilled a
hole in the rock and had placed in
it Is sticks of dynamite, enough to
kill a thousand men had they been
in the little chamber. In placing
the explosive, it is believed they
decame careless, struck the dyna-
mite a little to hard, causing the
explosion. Lynott must have re-
ceived the full force of the charge.
The unfortunate men were high
ly respected and their tragic fates
will be incurred by hosts of friends.
Lynott is survived by his widow
and seven children, while Hoffa
leaves widow and one child.
The funeral services for Lynott
were held Saturday, and Hoffa' $
funeral was held Sunday, the I'm
proved Order of Red Men, of
which he was a member, being in
charge. .-Towanda Review.
