The pulpit fumitore is antique oak, and the windows of staiaed glas. la the basam9nt is located beside the furnace for heating, a range and other conveniences for festivals. The building is tasty in appearance, outside as well as inside, and an ornament to the locality.

The election throughout the borough was a very quiet one, nnd but little enthusiasm was manifest among the voters. Until late ia the afternoon the voting was very light Interest centered in the fight for county and legislative candidates, and all of these tickets were badly mixed.

Flannery Slakes a Hard Fight and Is Elected. Tuesday's election for Representative in the Fifth Legislative District was one that will be long remembered by the local politi cians. It was the warmest that has been held here for years, owing to the fact that Neary, who was defeated for the Democratic nomioation, ran as an independent candidate and made a hard fight for the office. Owen Holland, of Iokerman, was also out as an in dependent candidate, but be secured but few votes, and his candidacy had no bearing in the fight. The returns show that Flannery is elected.

Tbe total vote is almost within ten per cent, of the vote at last Presidential election two years ago. The contest for 5th District Representative, in Pittston and vieinity, was an exciting one, but it was more of a personal than a political fight, on account of tbe independent candidacy of Mr. Neary.

AS SEEN AND HEARD. Notes and Observations Concerning Af fairs in General. Pittston presents eliarible locations for maoufacturiog enterprises; the shipping facili ties aro unsurpassed, bnd all the conditions equal to tbe best.

For tbesa reasons the opportunity to increase the industrial growth of the p'ace should not be teglected. Capital is seeking investment, labor is seeking employment. Accommodate both and the town will experience renewed vigor. There is nothing so valuable in a town as a good healthy growing boom, and ia ss much as the so called Board of Trade is doing nothing to create such a boom, tbe people should take tbe matter in hand and make some effort to increase the prosperity of our town. Same people think that the siea boards torbidding hunting, fhhiog, nut gatherijg or ispassing upon private lands are of little ac count and they may be regarded with im punity.

This is a mistake, as the law makes it an act of trespass to go upon any cultivated or enclosed land for any purpose without per mission irom tho owner, even if there is no sign board, and the owner is entitled to re cuvur actual damages tor such trespass. wnenthe8ign ooards are properly erected, any person who trespasses is not only liable to pay ihe actual damage, but also a penalty not exceedirg $25. What a magnificent driveway the pooole of tne Wyoming Valley would have if the bright idea promulgated by a Forty Fort correspondent could only ba put into execution at says that the csal underlying the main road runniDg between Kingston and West Pitiston is worth a sum sufficient to pave that avenue; with asphalt, and euggestes that the several boroughs through which the road passes take steps to make use of the underly ing treasure. The question arises, however, nave tnesj boroughs aoy claim to this coal? From what we can learn from consersations with persoos who ought to know, this vast amount ef coal, or at least the greater portion of it which was formerly the property of the Slate, is now held under piteDta by iy8te individuals, among tnem several wealthy coal operators, wno would doubtless fight to the bitter end any attempt to take it out of their hands. In this event As scheme proposed is worthless, and the probabilities are that the public will continue to travel for some time to come over the rickety cobble stones and through the miles of mud which characterize the public road on the West Side cf the river.

Very few smokers realize the extent of the barm done to the mouth, beart and nerves by tobacco," eaid a well known physician upon his return from the Berlin Medical Congress, "When I was in Europe I learned of a simple and effective method of rendering tobacco entirely harmless with destroying it's aroma. The method was discovered by Dr. Gantrelet of Vichy, and it should be re garded as a priceless boon to smokers. It coDsistsofa small piece of ordinary cotton wool steeped in a 5 or 10 per cent, solution of pyrogallic acid, inserted in the pipe or cigar holder, This will neutralize any possible ill effects of the nicotine. Io this way not only may the generally admitted evils of smoking be overcome, but cirrhosis of the liver, which is sometimes caused by tobacco, and much lighter penalties of over indulgence such as headache and furring of the tongue may be avoided.

Citric acid, which was recommended by Tigier for the same purpose, has the serious disadvantage of spoiling the taste of the tobacco." Owing to tbe increase of rates on certain railroads, tbe express companies of tbe country have decided to increase their rates this month. None of tbe companies, with tbe ex ception of the National, have yet given official notice of the advance to their agents, but the order is expected in a few days. The increase io the National rates is 50 cents per hundred pounds for merchandjsa which goes beyond Buffalo and Pittsburg. V. Burdette, the funny man, while in Chicago, the other day, received a letter from his 13 year old son, reading: Dear Papa: I had a dream last night.

I dreamed I bad a new safety bicycle. Do you believe thatj dreams come through "I fear that boy is going io be a humorist," said his father, sadly, to an interviewer. It may not be generally known that a new State law bas recently gone into effect which provides for tbe recording of all contracts in the county clerk's offico, says aa usually) well informed exchange. The law requires the contractor, upon payment of the whole or any part of tbe sum agreed upon, to deliver to tbe owner of such building the release of all persona who may then have furnished materials in the erection of the building, and of journeymen and laborers. These releases must be made before some person authorized to administer caths The law is severe on loan associations, and it will probably result in every firm of builders having retain a lawyer for the purpose o( drawing affidavits.

Tho train loft the Pittston station, in charge of the genial conductor, Al. Williams, and with that veteran engineer, David Crossley, at the throttle. A rapid run, without auy stops or delays, through the pictures eque KaDsom Valley, brought tbe "party to the Home at about eleven o'clock. The train was side tracked below the station, so that it was but a few minutes' walk to the poor grounds. Arriving here the party began to scatter.

Some visited the farm and were shown iht mammoth pumpkins, pnatoes and other vegetables for which it is celebrated, others were shown through the various old buildings, all of which are kept in the best possible manner. They are clean and healthy, and the numerous inmates there seem to ql joy lifa as best they can under the care of the directors. By far tbe greater number of the party, however, at onco weDdcd their way to th new building which they had come to see formally opened for the use of the dis trict. A full description of the structure was given in the Gazette a short time ago, and therefore it will be only necessary to remind our renders that it is a large two story brick building with basement, admirably adapted to the UEca for wb'ch it was erected. The several floors are conveniently divided up into wards for the use.

of the inmates; closet, kitchens, bath rooms, sleeping rooms, while in the basement are the boilers which furnish eteam to heat the entire plant. Every thing is fiijiabed in the best possible style, and the directors can rest assured that with this tddiibn they have one of the Sues', homes for the care of the poor and indigent msaae that can bo found in this section of tte Stale. At twelve o'clock the guests all assembled in the main hall of the new building, where they it down to a sumptuous dinner, prepared in StewardPiace and bis wife's best possible style. Everything that the guests couli wish for was on hand, and all of them did full justice to the spread. At the conclusion of the dinner there was another round of sight seeing, and at 2:30 o'clock, the visitors again gathered ia the new building, where a number of informal addresses were made.

PaulBohaa, Secretary of the Board, pretiled, and in opening tbe meeting he gave a brief, but interesting history of this poor district Tbe paper read by Mr. Bohan contains eo many valuable facts and figures in regard to the district that we priut it in full for the benefit of our readers. It is as follows: Ladies and gentlemen: Ia behalf of the directors of this institution, I bid yon all welcome, and say to you that we are very much pleased to see so many of our worthy friends and neighbors here to day. i will not attempt to state to you what has been done aad what our good people all over uio land are ooiog lor tne care of tbe poor. I will content myself by giving you a partial statement of matters connected with cur dis trict.

Jeukios Township, Pittston Borough and Pittston Township were incorporated into a poor distrist May 8, 1857 The township of Lickawanua, now Lackawanna, and Old Forge was annexed thereto, and made prt of tbe district on March 27, 1860. This territory embraces at present Pittston, Hughestown, Avoca, Laflin and Tatesville Borouehs: Joi.kms, PitiPton, Marcy, Oid Forge and Lackawanna Townships. It extends from uycto fait to lains Township, a distance of ten miles or more, and from the Susquehanna uiver ana uansom Township to Spring Brook, an average distance of six miles, having an area of from sixty lo seventy square miles, wiib a population of forty five or fifty thous and people, Tbe tax valuation of property for this year ia this district is a little over four million dollars. The real value of this property is beyond conjecture; it is a very rich coal field, the quantity of which is yet unknown. Our Poor House farms are located in Ransom Township, which is not in anv part of the district One of these farms has 150 acres, the other one has one hundred.

About 175 acres of this land is cleared, wel lenced and in a good state of cultivation, the balance of the laud is under brush. Those farms, with some limber, not including the buildings, can be safely valued at $12,000. The buildings, including barn, store house, are almost all new they cost the district nearly $45,000. If we should say that tbe.r was $55,000, very few people competent tojuage would be surprised. The personal property is estimated at $5,000 and there was due to the district at the last annual statement from tax collectors and from other parties' enough to pay every dollar that the district owes, beyond tbe current expenses.

For some time past tte treasurer received from tax collectors and from other sources annually as average of $14,000. Of this be paid for out door relief and for tbe care of our insane at Danville not less than $6.000 yearly. By adding to this amount the moneys paid for the purchase of the second farm and on the buildings and improvements it can be seen that only the lessor portion of the funds were used for tbe expenses of keeping tbe homo. The farm proceeds of la year was estimated at $4,000 in round numbers. There are twenty seven of our insane at the Danville Hospital We have thirty five malt 8 and nineteen females at this institution: eleven males and seven females ol those are called insane.

All are of a mild type aud harmless. Most of the men work on tbe farm and the women about tbe house. None are restrained of their liberty, all are kindly treated and wen Cire 1 tor, and they evidently appreciate the same. The steward and ma tron are very good and respectful to the inmates regardless of their oddities or disposition this in itself does wonders in improving their condition both mentally and physically. The building arr always found clean and the inmates neat an i tidy.

The food is good and ample in quau.ity, and they are all as happy as possiblj. Following Mr. Bohan, short addresses were made, all in a very happy vien and quite in teresting, by Hon. H. B.

Payne, of Kingston, attorney for the board; Rev. W. J. Hill, Col. C.

Campbell, P. K. Richards, Rev. Mr Smith, of Newton, Dr. Mahoa and John R.

Jones, the latter a member of the Blakely (Lack. Co.) Poor Board. At the con clusion of the addresses a resolution was of fered, tendering a vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. steward and stewardess, for the excellent manner in which they had entertained the visitors.

The resolution was pissed unanimously. Mr. Richards, in his address, made a timely remark io regard to the Steward when he said that "Mr. Place was the right man in the right place." The time for returning had now arrived, and with great reluctance the party left the pleasant Home, and agaia boarded the train, arriving at the Pittston station at four o'clock The directors of tho district are to be con gratulated upon the success which attended the opening this new building, and also upon the prosperity which attends their man agemeut of tho affairs of the district. Pennsylvania's Public Schools.

A statistical statement jist issued from the Department of Public Instruction at Harris burg shows tbe cumber of school distrts in the State to be 2.326.

Slocum, as a memorial to their parents, was dedicated on Thursday cf last week with appropriate ceremonies. Upon the ringing of the chapel bell, at 10 o'clock, the people began gathering, and the spacious build ing was soon filled, many being preseut from Scrantoo, Wilkes Barre aad points down the Valley. The Presbyterian Church, of West titston, bad been given charge of the chapel and the pastor, Rev. T. W.

Swan conducted the dedicatory services. The pastors of the several churches Pittston and West Pittston occupied seals up on tbe platform, which was handsomely or namented with pottad plants, chrysanthemums of many varieties and other flowers from B. Carpenter's green houses. There was also large ftoral cross io front of the desk, prepared from flowers gathered by the children of the vicinity for the purpose. Mr.

C. Chandler. oi aeranton, played an organ solo while the congregation was assembling. ine service began with an anthem, 'The Lord is my strength and my salvation," by the choir of the West Pitiston Presbyterian Church. After a prayer by Ray.

Dr. Parke and the sioging of a hymn, Rev. C. A. Ben jamia read tbe 34th Psalm.

Rev. Mr. Swan men maoe tne address of the occasion. He said if he were t3 quote any Scripture as the foundation of his remarks, it would be tbe words "do good," found ia Ps 34:14. Luke 6:35 and other places in both the Old and New Testaments.

We all know that something is wrong in the world, said the speaker, with all the woe and wretchedness about us oo every side, and tbe Bnle tells ns it is the ef fects of si. Without stopping to prove this, which would be easy, let us rathsr inquire as to our duty what can we do for ourselves and for others to better the condition of things. The Bible points the way clearly, "Uapatt from evil and do good; piBWJ auu pursue 11. XulS is the secret of true happiness, both here and hereafter. No one can accomplish tne win ot ttod until be has acquired the graces of His Spirit.

We cannot serve the devil and do good. It is impossible for a man to get either so high or so low that be has no influence. Every person has an influence in the world either for good or evil, and he can not escape it. We may do gocd individually and collectively, but we can do little without the love of God ia our hearts. We caonet be interested in the uplifting of our fellow men, IT.

1 was no wno came to seek and to save the lost unless the love of Christ coostraineth us. We need a preparation. A politician recently suggested that if the church adopted the plan ia politics of seeing every voter and laboring with them, as we sea them doing in every campaign, greater results would be manifest Personal work counts. Yet there is need of organization to work collect ively, and the church is Goi'a appointed way. There are special promises of blessing upon united efforts.

This structure has been erect ed as a memorial to those who have gone be fore. It is better than a monument of cold marble. It opns opportunity for both individual acd organizsd work for the good of this place, and we invoke God's blessing for its Here Mr. Svan stated that the keys of the chapel bad been placed ia his custody, io tokea that the building was free from incumbrance. While the Presbyterian cbursh are its trustees, ministers of other denominations would be invited to hold services here and a union Sunday school would be organizad.

The chapel was built, he slid, in memory of two families who were among the earliest settlers of the Wyoming Valley, theSlocums and Scovell, both of which were combined in the name of the builder, James Scovell Slocum. The Slocums came out along with the Tripps from R. and the Sco vella with the Jenkinses from Connecticut, about 1774. The great grandfather of the pres ent generation, Jonathan Slocum, wLosa wife was Ruth Tripp, was killed by the Indians at Wilkesbarre on Dec. 16th followine the Massacre of July 3, 1778.

The maternal great grandfather, Jonathan Scovell, had re turned, to Connecticut before the Wm. Slocum and Jims ScovnlL the grand fathers of tbe DB Iit seneraii.in were also here at tbe time nf iK Massacre, and a bister of tbe for mer, Frances Slocum, was stolen by the Indians Nov. 2, 1778, and was unheard of by any of her friends until fifty nine years later. Laton Sloeum, father of Frances, now widow of CoL Oakford, of Scranton, James and William, was bora ia Pittston in 1792, and Gratey Scovell Slocum, his wife, was born on the property upon which this chapel is located, in 1796, the Scovells having settled on the west side of the nver and the Slocums on the east side At the conclusion of Rev. Mr.

Swan's address be offered prayer, after which the choir rendeied an anthem, "Trust in the Lord and do good." Mr. Swan mentioned that the Bible upon the pulpit detk was the Slocum family Bible, printed in 1802. The several clergymen present followed with brief addresses. Rev. Dr.

Parke recalled conversation be once had with the sculptor, Hiram Powers, in his studio in Florence, and remark that be made in speaking of several Americans noted for tbe benevolent bequests they had made at death. Mr. Powers said he did not regard it as giving when one must go and could not take his poesassions with him that there was no giving unless one bad the power to keep. Dr. Parke said be was glad that God had put it into the heart of bis friend Slocum, while living, to make this generous gift, and congratulated him and the friends of this community.

He contrasted the voluntary system of eustainit public worship with that of the established church, and thanked God for the religious liberty of our land. Rev. A. J. Morton, pastor the Welsh Baptist Church, spoke in his usual entertaining stylo.

He expressed ihe belief that if this building were not as permanent as and built of stone or brick would have been, the generous heart that erected it would provide for its future. Rev. W. J. Hill, of the Broad St.

M. E. Church, hoped the bni diog of tbe chapel would influence others who have the means to put up similar buildings in places where they are needed. Rev. C.

A. Beo jamio.of the West Side M. E. Church, eaid that this chapel unlike tbe fine buildings erected by individuals to tbe day of Rome's greatness now cjumbled into ruins might exert an influence the magnitude of which only eternity would reveaL He believed that the fac tion which the donor of this structure feels is but a precursor of greater blessings to him and to this, community. At this juncture Hon.

Theo. Strong was called upon, to speak. He concluded by suggesting a collection to establish a union Sunday school here, furnish a library, and it was at once taken up, amounting to $71.35. Other contributions were promised, and it was announced that Mr. S.

P. Fenn would re ceive any further offerings for thi objpet. Rev. J. H.

Brittain, of he Luarne Avenue Baptist Church, hea spoke br.iefjy. He commended, tiia ttyiion service and the proposed uaiop Supday School and urged the organization of a local alliance, under the National Evangelical Alliance, to go out and invite the people in this community among the maBs who go to no church to attend some church. Rev. Dr. Y.

O. Suith was. to speak, but asked tq be excused. He thought that Evp courses and dessert already served was sufficient. Tne exercises concluded by the congregation singing "AU hail the power of Jesus' name." The chairs with which the ohapel is seated were then removed to one aide, and tables FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1890.
