Then word was sent for the ambulances and when the train arrived nine of them were gathered at the depot. Word was also sent to the hospital to be prepared to receive any of the men who wanted to go there. The hospital train consisting of three Pullman coaches came (into the depot at an hour late, and attached to the regular train. The waiting crowd at once made a rush for it and in their anxiety would have pushed into the cars among the sick men had they not been restrained.

They were asked to wait and Drs. Long, Buckman, Fell, Lenahan, W. J. Butler and Batterton boarded the train with their medical cases, to give assistance to those who needed immediate attention and to assist them to the ambulances. Miss Porter, a graduate nurse, was also present to pedform a like duty and to assist in superintending the removal, and the physicians and nurse rendered valuable service.

Sev eral of the men were so sick that the physicians gave them medicine before they were taken to the ambulances. few of the boys were well enough to get out of the cars and walk to the station to meet their friends, but near ly all of them had to be carried out on stretchers. The stretchers were carried into the Pullmans to the side of the berths, the 'boys were placed upon them and then strong hands carried them to the ambulances. AVOCA. The Wiconisco tribe No.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER NEW YORK. WYOMING COUNTY NEWS. Jesse James Phelps Afflicted The $40,000 Uond Issue County Fair. Hose Company Matters Democratic Politics, Etc. TUNKHANNOCK, Aug.

20. Jesse James Phelps and his reunited family are in town. With a full stomach and 50 cents in his pocket and Mrs. Jessie in sight, Jesse is a happy man. He has little care for the morrow and evidently believes that sufficient unto the day the evil thereof and he gets about to see it.

Not that Jesse ever does anything recklessly bad but he gets a bit careless sometimes and happens around when things naughty are transpiring. Jesse has acted as mediator and adviser in many of the family jars of his brother in law, William Pargo, and has seen them emerge from one cloud on their matrimonial existence but to go under another. He has made it clear sailing all round when his diplomatic oar has had a dip. In his own domestic affairs there have been tips and downs and he has arisen in the morning a proud and contended head of a family to rid himself at night a grass widower. This thing grew sort of monotonous and with his better hall out of sight and a house keeper from the township of Monroe in charge it looked for a time as if Jesse had solved the domestic problem.

But Mrs. Jesse bobbed up serenely on the scene and the old relations were re established and the cook hustled off to the wilds of her native home. Jesse James Phelps has strong family ties. He is never so happy as when there is affliction in the family as it affords him an opportunity to take Mrs. Jesse under his arm and followed by her pledges of affection start off on a visit to the afflicted ones.

Then is when Jesse comes out treat. The sympathy bubbles out all over him. Just now he comes up from Pitston, where he is employed at the foundry, called by the illness of Henry PhelDs. his brother. Henry is also man of strong domestic attachments, Henrv married for his first wife woman named Dunlap over in Susque hanna county, and then his love grew cold and separated from her.

The people are more directly by the election of local rulers than they are by the election of state or national officials and in the matter of voting they are more liberal.

This latter fact accounts for the county at this time having all Republican officers. Extensive repairs to the buildings on (he grounds of the Agricultural society are being made.

Mrs. Sunday, who keeps a very excellent establishment in Forty third street, grew suspicious of young Miilingham, one of her boarders. Ho had for three weeks neglected the trifling formality of paying her any money, and she had prepared to speak to him about it Saturday morning. But he saw the resolution written in her face and escaped. In the afternoon he sent the following advertisement to a morning paper: "Wanted Mun of from 20 to 30 years of age can secure employment at good wages by addressing M.

Millingham, No. Forty third street; no peddling; no personal applications considered." Ho managed to get in at an hour when Mrs. Sunday was out of his way and comfortably abed. At the breakfast table, where he appeared fairly radiant in smiles of assurance, ho confided to his neighbor, though for the evident benefit of his landlady, that half a dozen men had called on him the previous afternoon for his new formula. "Formula for whatf" asked the noigh bor.

But ho intrenched himself in mystory, and only assured him that he had "caught the town." At 9 o'clock two lotters came for him. At 1 there wero half a dozen. By night he had received two dozen. And tho landlady, whose frowns had been black as Egypt in the morning, begun to look upon him us a person of note. She said nothing about his board bill Monday morning, though he bearded her boldly in the hall and told her to take furs of any letters'that might come for him.

There was an armful of them in the evening, and Mrs. Sunday was more than gracious to him. Tuesday he told her he had used up all his materials, and borrowed $10 of her to purchase a new supply. Wednesday she told the other boarders she was surprised tliat none of theru had Mr. Millingham's business ability.

And then one of them, in self defense, turned up that advertisement. So that if Millingham ever does go back to Mrs. Sunday's boarding house ho will learn her opinion of a man who does business on a capital of falso protenses. New York Herald. Famous Banquets.

Tea and Coffee Are Taking the Place of More Intoxicating Beverages. A record of the consumption of tobacco from 1861 up to the present time, of tea, ooffoc, cocoa and chicory, of alcoholic bev erages and of tobacco, compared with tho increase of population, 6hould be of inter est to all classes. The most striking feature in tho record which has been recently issued, and which has been ordered by the house of commons to be printed, is that while an enormous increase in the con sumption of tea, coffee, has taken place there hos been a steady diminution in the consumption of both beer and spirits. Between 18G1 and 1862 the total consumption of tea, was 120,000,000 pounds. It then steadily rose until In 1893 it stood at 265,000,000 pounds.

In the same period tho population increased from 28,500,000 to 38,500,000, so that, while in 1861 tho consumption of tea, per head Was 4.38 pounds, in 1803 it was 6.90 pounds. In rogard to wines and spirits, the consumption in 1861 was equal to 80, 000,000 gallons, with the population at28, 500,000, and i 1893, with tho population at 38,500,000, the consumption was 62, 000,000 gallons, so that, per head, it was equal to 1.22 gallons in 1S61 and in 1893 to 1.35 gallons, the highest record being l.su gallons in 1876, since wnicn tne con sumption has steadily diminished. Tho consumption of beer exhibits a sim ilar rise and fall. Thus, in lSbl.the amount consumed per head was 24.3 gallons, in 1874, 34 gallons and in 1893, 29.6 gallons, the total consumption varying from 20, 000,000 gallons in 1861 to 31,000,000 gal lons in 1876, and 32,000,000 gallons in 1893, tho populution having increased 10, 000,000. Coming to tobacco, in 1861, when the duty was 3s.

1 8 10d. per pound, the to tal consumption was 84,000,000 pounds, being equal to tho use, per head, of 19J ounces. In 1803 tho duty on cigars was reduced from 9s. 5 4 10d. to 6s.

per pound, and the consumption then rose to 21 ounces in 1865, to 23 ounces in 1877. In the following year, 1878, an increase of 4d. per pound on all tobacco was mode, and as extra 2d. per pound on cigars in 1879, with the result that after that date the consumption fell to 23 'A ounces. From this time it gradually recovered, till 1887, when, the duty on tobacco being reduced 4d.

per pound and on cigars 6d. per pound, tho consumption quickly rose till it attained to 26 ounces per head of the population in 1893. Tho total consump tion in 1893 was 62,000,000, while in 18fil it was 84,000,000 pounds i. an in crease of 28,000,000 pounds for an increase in tho population of 10,000,000. To sum up, this interesting return shows that there is a decided diminution in tho demand for intoxicating stimulants, while there is a very considerable incrense in tho demand for nonintoxicnting stimulants, principal ly tea and coffee.
