From the Louisville Evening Post. The lesson was from the "Prndin Son," and the Sunday school teached was dwelling on the character of the elder brother. "But amidst all the rejoicing," a of in of THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1899. he said, "there was one to whom the preparation of the feast brought no joy, to whom the prodigal's return gave no pleasure, but only, bitterness; one who did not approve of the feast being held, and who had no wish to attend it. Now, can any of you tell me who this was?" There was a breathless silence, followed by a vigorous cracking of thumbs, and then from a dozen sympathetic little geniuses came the chorus, "Please, sir.

The question which appears uppermost in the minds of a number of our good citizens is, "Who has a right to collect this coming year's itaxes?" under the existing difficulties.

It is well understood that Moosie was granted a charter as a borough andi all of the business appeartaining to the same was carried out to the letter. Their election was held, their proper officers elected and when they were ready for business an injunction was served upon the Moosic borough prohibiting the progress of any further business as a bor oug until the term of (Superior court in October, when the question will be considered. At the borough election Mr. Christopher Rahbine was the people's choice and elected for tax collector. The injunction granted by Judge 1 P.

Smith puts a stop to his acting in the capacity to which he was selected. Such being the case Mr. John J. Coyne, the present township tax collector, should have no jurisdiction over the collection of taxes within the borough limits, for it is held by some that if Moosic is not a borough until the ce clsion of the proper court, the town of Moosic is not in the township, especially under its workings until the court settles the important question; they holding that Coyne has no right to collect the taxes within the borough limits. It is likely that the court will be asked to appoint a tax collector for the borough, as an injunction will be asked for against Coyne collecting taxes within the said limits until such.

time as all grievances are settled. A number of the citizens and property owners will not pay their taxes to Coyne unless compelled to by law. There is a hot time coming. TAYLOR. The usual service will be held at the Welsh Baptist church at 10:30 a.

It demonstrated only the perfection of the machinery. No material admits of such fine spinning as doescotton. Messrs. Houldsworth spun out one pound of Sea island cotton a thread 1,000 miles in length that was quite strong enough for use. With linen yarn a hank or cut consists of 300 yards.

AN OLD TEXAS POET. A. J. Lowell of Utopia, Uvalde county. is an old Texas ranger, and in a conversation wit a number of gentlemen at Galveston the other day he gave an account of his visit to the old fort erected by the cele brated James Bowie.

"A short time ago," remarked Captain Lowell, "while crossing the divide between the Main and Dry Frio, about 30 milea west of Utopia, I noticed on the side of a hill a circular pile of rocks, resembling an old fortification. Being interested in such things I turned aside to investigate. On arriving at the place I discovered that the rocks had been placed there by the hand of man at an early day. The fort, which I will now call this rude structure, was built on the south side of a hill, making a complete circle, except a gap at the lower end, which had been left open as a place of entrance. Some of the stones were very large and would have required the united efforts of a dozen men to put them in place.

The height of the rock wall when first built would have covered a man to the neck, and the place would have made an admirable spot to stand off a band of Indians, which I have no doubt it had been built for. Tho next thing was to look around and see if I could discover anything by which I could determine what caused the presence of the men who built the fort, although I had guessed they were gold hunters. "I noticed the entrance to the fortification was on the lower side toward the foot of the hill and opposite a small cedar brake, as if men would come from that point in case of danger. As soon as I entered the cedar brake the problem was solved at once. I saw an immense pile of earth banked up, and near it a shaft.

It was at the base of a hill, not a hundred yards from the fort, near the head of a ravine. It was an old mine, either of gold, silver or lead, and had been worked many years ago. The entrance to the mine was down a flight of 10 or 13 steps cut in the soil, which time and the action of the water pouring into it during heavy rains had not effaced. At the bottom of the steps the excavations extended wesb under the hill upon which the fort was built. I did not penetrate it far, as I had no light.

On the mound of soil near the shaft grew cedar trees as large as a man's body, indicating a period prior to the advent of the Texas pioneers into these mountains, when the country was full of hostile Indians. The fort on the side of the hill commanded all approaches to the mine. In surmising in regard to the people who formerly worked this mine I at first concluded that they were Spaniards or Mexicans, but finally connected the place with the cele brated Texan, Colonel James Bowie. I recollected hearing my father relate a circumstance which he heard from Colonel Bowio in Gonzales before the Texan revolution. Colonel Bowie said that ou one occasion, while prospecting for gold or silver in the mountains west of San Antonio, he had sunk a shaft in search of silver.

He had a force of 30 men with him, and anticipating an attack by the Indians fortified the camp by piling up large rocks. Their position commanded every approach to their camp and shaft, and also to a spring of water something over 100 yards distant. "While engaged working this mine they were suddenly attacked one morning by a large body of Comanche Indians. Bowio and his men at once took refuge in the fortification, ftnd the battle commenced with great fury. The Indians, however, were soon driven to cover in the ravines and behind the rocks by the deadly fire of Bowie's men.

The fight lasted all day, each party firing as opportunity offered. During the day, however, Bowie's men drank up all their water and began to suffer intensely with thirst. The Indians, however, from their position in the rocks and gullies, commanded the spring, and it was almost certain death for any one to venture. If the men all sallied from the fort, they were likely to be overwhelmed by the superior force of the savages, but something had to be done. "Now, Bowie owned a strong young negro named Jim, who was one of the party.

soys Bowie, turning to the negro, 'won't you take the gourds and bring us I some water trom the 'No, sar, marse; Jim couldn't think of such a thing. Them Injuns is a layin dar in dat brush and rocks, and dey could get up and kill dis nigger befo' you could say scat" twice, and befo' I could half fill dein gourds. No, sah; can't "Bowie looked at the negro with his keen, piercing eye, and said: 'Jim, which are you most afraid of me or the 'Well, replied Jim, 'if you 'sist on me gwine of course I'll go; if de boys is bound to have some water befo' they can whip the Injuns and you 'sist on me a gwine, why deu I'll volunteer my sarv lces. Hunt up dem gourds. I'm "Bowie now told Jim he need not fear, as they could protect him with their rifles from the fort while he was getting the Wa ter.

It appears that the Indians were not expecting any one to attempt to come from the fort for water and evidently did not see the negro ui fact, they had to keep well hid themselves, us every exposure of their persons would bring a whizzing riile ball from tho hill. The negro advanced to the spring, filled the gourds and was starting DacK neiore the Indians discovered him. Thoy now, however, set up a terrible veil ing and commenced firing at him, which also drow the fire of the fort, as several of me inaians naa snown The negro now commenced running as best he could with several gourds dangling about him, with a number of Indians in close pur suit, notwithstanding the fact that several of their number had fallen before the dead ly aim of Bowie's riflus. One burly savage dropped his empty gun, and drawing his tomanawk ran close to the negro, intend ing to strike him down with that. "A rifle cracked from the lower end of the inclosure, and the Indian fell back ward.

"Jim soon arrived, puffing and blowing, bringing the water gourds with him." St. Louis Globe Democrat. An Ancient English Cross. Of crosses in churchyards, one of tho largest is a remarkable specimen discovered In the parish of St. Teath, near Camelford, in Cornwall.
