business became useful to him later
in life and he became owner of dry
goods store in New York City which
he continued to own until 1S45, when
he came to Wayne county and estab-
lished store in Waymart. In con-
nection with his store he was also
postmaster at Waymart for many
years.

adventure he went to Central Ameri-
ca in 1850 and remained there about
three years. He was engaged in
trading with the Indians. He was ac-
cOmpanied by his first wife whom he

Hawley Has No Night Fire Alarm.

Hawley, Pa, Jan. 27.-Since the
recent disastrous fire in Honesdale
the people of this town are waking
up to the fact that there is no de-
pendable night fire alarm since the
removal of the telegraph Office from
the n. A. tower at West Hawley to
the eastern end of the railroad sta
ton. When the telegraph office was
in the tower there was also a tele-
phone and as somebody was on duty
all the time, day and night, tele-
phone call could be sent in to the
tower, and as there are always one
or more engines right on hand the
alarm could be sounded quickly.
Now when the depot closes at
night there is no one to answer the
telephone, and the alarm has to be
sounded from the Bingham & Wall
mill. In the night there is seldom
enough steam, it is alleged, to sound
an alarm. This matter is of vital
Importance to the people of Hawley,
and council will undoubtedly see that
different arrangements are speedily
made.

The New Dog Tax.

Atlanta, Aug. 10. If you own
a dog worth 500 you are due the
state 81 per year taxes; or if your
dog is only worth $50 you are due
the state only 50 cents. By the
same token a S25 dog is liable for
Is cents per year taxes.
Such are the provisions of the
new ad valorum dog law tax law
which the legislature enacted and
which the governor has signed.
The effect of the law will be to
abolish the dog tax of 81 per year,
which was so Objectionable to dog
owners throughout the state that
it became a political issue in a
great many counties. Also the
effect of the new law will be to
deprive the state of about $3.50, :
600 per year.
Governor Brown was opposed
to repeating the dog tax and
would probably have vetoed the
bill, had not a number of legisla-
tors who voted for it gone to him
afterwards and asked him not to
veto it. The governor considered
this one of the nerviest PROPOSE
tons he has encountered while
chief executive. 1t reacted on
him and he approved the bill.
