Louis Gilzinger’s wairon maker’s sup plies factory on lower Pike street is now in full operation. Workmen are now drilling for well water in the basement, and hope soon to have the factory fully supplied with good drinking water. About the middle of last August Mr. Gilzinger’s factory near Sharpe’s mill was burned to the ground. As soon as possi ble Mr. Gilzinger made arrangements for the resumption of work. He purchased land on Pike street, nearly opposite the Delaware House, and began the erection of a neat two-story structure. This was completed some time ago, and last week work was actually resumed. The factory is divided into three large apartments, filled with spokes, and rough material, the first floor being used for the manufacturing, and the second floor be ing a store room. This latter would be a fine location for any new manufacturing enterprise requiring a light, airy room and not too great power. On the first floor is a fine steam engine, which is supplied with power from a boiler, located In the rear of the factory. Its capacity is 40-horse power. Mr. Gilzinger has now plenty of orders on hand, and there is every evidence of prosperity around the work. LICENSES GRANTED. First Meeting o f tlie New Excise Board. The Licenses Granted To-Day.

The Friday following the first day of May has been designated by a recent law enacted by tbe State Legislature as Arbor day, yet it was passed by without obser vance of any kind in this place. The law makes it compulsory upon the authorities of every public school in this state to as semble the pupils in their charge on that day in the school building, or elsewhere, as they may deem proper, and provide for and conduct such exercises as shall tend to encourage the planting, protection and preservation of trees and shrubs, and an acquaintance with the best methods to be adopted to accomplish such results. DECKEBTOWN’S FIRST HOUSE. The Ind^endent learns that the first house erected in Deckertowu was situated upon the site now occupied by Mabee’s livery stable. This was in the year 1734 and was built by one Peter Decker, a sturdy* piotieer from Holland, who first settled in the town of Minisink, not far from where Port Jervis now is. In 1750 Henry Harelocker located where Newton now is, and built the first bouse near the residence of Joseph Hill. FIRST POSTOFFICE IN SUSSEX. The first post office established in this county was at “ Sussex Court House,” March 20,1793, followed by the second, at Hamburg, October 1, 1795, The third in point of time was established at Sparta, January 1, 1798. Previous to these, Morristown was tbe most northerly post office in the state of New Jersey.—iVeic- toT) Herald. DROWNED IN THE SUSQUEHANNA Adam Getts, aged 88, a well-to-do but somewhat dissipated farmer living at Shlckshinny, Pa., committed suicide Sunday, as he had frtquently threatened to do. Going to the Susquehanna river he tied a heavy stone to his neck and wad ing into the stream he laid down in three feet of water and deliberately drowned himself. —What you need is a medicine which is pure, efficient reliable.

Everybody is cleaning house and shaking carpets; and there was a dog fight, also. There are 600 boats in the D, & H. ca nal at present. TALKS ON T H E T A R IF F . Som e P e r tin e n t P o in ts for th e P e o p le to P o n d e r U p on. From the Sew York,Daily Press. The facts in the following tariflE talk are taken from an article recently pub lished in the American Manufacturer, a trade journal published at Pittsburg, Pa.: “ In 1886, at the iron works in the neighborhood of Charleroi, Belgium, the daily wages of iron rollers were 55 cents, and of furnace men only 43 cents. Pud- dlers earned about $370 a year in 1885. A sa general rule, workmen of several classes employed in Belguim iron works are now paid at or about the rate of half a crown per day, $3 75 a week.” These facts speak for themselves. American workingmen get much larger wages and obtain the necessaries of life quite as cheaply from factories fostered by the protective tariff. CARING FO B A NEW B UKG B R O T H E R . Word has been received here by Storm King Lodge, K. of P„ from Past Chan cellor Peck of Mount William Lodge of Port Jervis, that they have in their care James Bonk, a member of Storm King Lodge, who is seriously ill. Mr. Konk was an Erie engineer, and while running an engine near- Mabwah, N. J., a few nights since the side rod of the engine broke, crashed through the cab, and threw Mr. Ronk to the ground. One of his hips was injured, internal injuries were sus tained and several wounds inflicted on the scalp.—jyeic&wrg Register. STUCK IN A SUSSEX SNOW BANK. The Newton Herald says that until Sunday, April 29th, there were many roads in Sussex county which were im passable on account of snow piled into them by the blizzard of March 12th. The same paper says that on April 26lh, How ard Little of Deckertowu and a citizen of Newton, while passing over a cross road in Wantage,became stuck in a snow bank, forty feet in length, and nothing but their strong horse and good judgment made it possible for them to get through. SHOULD B E CARED FO B . An organ-grinder, accompanied by a bright little girl of not more than five years old, visited this place Saturday. The brute of a father, or probably her abductor, gave her no chance for rest, and the little one received the sympathy of all. Here’s a case where the authorities should inter fere, if they are ever justified in such a course. Take the child away from the big brute, and let some decent family care for it. SMALL ON DRUNKARDS. Sam Small says the Lord never made a drunkard. True. They make themselves. Dr. G. Sterling,of 444 Church street, Nor- folk, said recently : “ Dr. Tutt’s Liver Pills are all they claim to be. I use them in my practice.” The great recommenda tion of these pills is that divines, doctors, laymen—everybody and everywhere sound their praises.

A Wilkesbarre dispatch says that the decomposed body of Mrs. Keeler was found, Satmday, in an abandoned house at Keelerville. The woman’s husband, George Keeler,left for tbe West sometime ago, and his present whereabout unknown. All the indications point to him as the murderer, as the couple never lived har moniously together. Mrs. Keeler had been missing since last September. It was supposed she had gone West to visit relatives, but letters received from a town in Illinois where she was supposed to be, brought the informa tion that she had never visited there. This aroused suspicion at once, and the author ities instituted a search which resulted in the finding of the body. The murderer, after committing the deed, packed the remains away between the floor and the foundation walls. Keel er’s father was the founder of the town where the tragedy occurred. One thousand dollars reward is offered for the murder er’s arrest. PERSONAL. —Miss Nellie Lyon of Middletown is visiting' her cousin, Miss Stella Vail, on Front street. —Miss Cullen of G.

SUMMER HOMES ON THE ERIE, With the recurrence of each season the Erie railway issues, for the benefit of the public, a book styled “ Summer Homes on the Picturesque Erie,” containing a full description of hotels, boarding places and other attractions along its line. The num ber for 1888 has been carefully compiled, and the information has been added to, making it more valuable than any previous issue. It can be obtained at any ticket office of the company free of charge. ‘ Suburban Homes ” is of an entirely dif ferent style, and intended for the informa tion of those contemplating a permanem residence.

One of the many improvements con templated by the Erie company, this season, is a change in the course of the main track through the Corning yard. The freight and round liouse will be moved to the opposite sides of the yard, close to the line of the Fall Brook yard. From the east end of the river bridge the main track will be straightened, and run through that part of the yard now occu pied by the freight house. This will do away with the heavy grade at the east end of the yard, and also the short curve at the east end of the bridge. Mr. T. A. Hayward, time-keeper of engineers and firemen on the Susque hanna division of the Erie, who has lived in Susquehanna for a number of years, and who has occupied a desk in the shop office, will remove shortly to Elmira. Mr. Hayward will be located at Elmira, in the office of Henry Tregellis, Division Master Mechanic of Susquehanna Division—N ms - quehanna Transcript. TH E Y SAT ON JU D G E G R E E N E .

Since Ex-Judge Greene’s New York and New Jersey Bridge bill passed the Assembly, the Committee on Com merce and Navigation of the Senate, who have had it in hand, have been going down below the surface in their examination of the measure. Amass of documentary evidence against the bill was gone over Thursday, and the committee^ound but very few representa tions of ^ e mercantile bodies and ex changes of the metropolis that were not strongly opposed to the bill. Friday the committee had a fiaal con ference on the subject, and they decided by a vote of 4 to 3 not to report the bill. This kills the project for this season. C. B, L .’S. FO U R T H ANNIVERSARY.

A dispatch from New Castle, Pa., says that on November 7th last, Jas. F. Falls, a prominent farmer of Lawrence county, made two attempts to commit suicide by shooting. The first time he placed the muzzle of the rifle under his chin and fired, the ball coming out under his left This did not affect his purpose, and he reloaded the gun, placed the muzzle at the same spot and fired again. The bullet passed through and came out at the top of his head. Walking into the house he told his wife w’bat he had done. Mrs. Falls immediately sent for a physician, and upon a hasty examination he pronounced the wounds fatal. But the would-be suicide lived nearly six months after and died last Saturday from the effect of a cold in one of the two wounds. He had been out election eering and carelessly exposed himself in inclement weather. The doctor who was first called to at tend the injured man died before Falls did. COMMERCIAL N E W S .

This seems generally true of the sweeter sex. Like the ivy plant, she longs for an object to cling to and love— to look to for protection. This being her prerogative, ought she not to be told that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the physical salvation of her sex ? It banishes those distressing maladies that make her life a burden, curing all painful irregular ities, uterine disorders, inflammation and ulceration, prolapsus and kindred weak nesses. As a nervine, it cures nervous exhaustion, prostration, debility, relieves mental anxiety and hypochondria, and promotes refreshing sleep. Archie, a young son of Mrs. Isaac Litts, living on the road to Sackett’s Lake, a few days ago was in his mother’s bam engaged in cutting straw, when the fingers of his left hand were drawn into the ma chine, with the result of a loss of the end of the first fingers.

In the Florida Mirror of Fernandina, Fla., of April 21st, there appears ’an ac count of the death of engineer Edward Bross, who was killed on the Sunday pre vious, by the derailment of the engine. He jumped from the engine, and his life less body was found six or seven feet away, under the trucks of the baggage- car, his feet protmding from tbe mud, his head crushed and left arm nearly severed. The Mirror says he “ was a general favor ite, and considered one of the moat care ful engineers on the road.” In the same issue of the Mirror appears the following communication, headed “ W asIt Superstition?” To the Editors of the Mirror : The fate of engineer Edward Bross was accompanied by an unusual premonition. For some weeks prior to the accident Mr. Bross seemed to be despondent, and a lady in this city bantered him about his moocli- is, to which he replied, that he could ; help a feeling of uneasiness, for he had been troubled of late by constantly recur ring dreams of accidents, in which he was a prominent factor ; that he had tried to laugh it off and think nothing of it, but d till he had becoi that it was a childish idea, or at most only fit for a woman to entertain, all of which he admitted, taut ended by saying that he would go with the next accident; that the engine he was running, No. 13, was an unlucky thing anyway and would kill him and so great was his fear that he made partial plans to go North on a Long Island road, but was finally persuaded to stay, and Ms death followed close after tue change of his plan. As a coincidence, in this connection we will mention that a gentleman from the lower portion of the state, who frequently rides on tbe F. R. & N„ sta ea to Ms wife, as he mounted the train that morn ing, that he was pretty sure to have an accident before he reached Ms destmation No. 13 . . . J1 riding after that particular with It came the death of Ed. The people of to-day are not very perstitious in the matter of premomsiona or in the fatality of certain numbers, but the above statement is true in all its r tions. I offer no explanation of the fact as they occurred, for tacts are sometimes stubborn things. 'nandina, Fla., April 19, 1888. T H E LAST C A M P -FIBE.

STILL W R A N G L ING OVER T H E MAT T E R AT T H E CONFERENCE. A Com p rom ise B e s o lntion Offered w h ich. H owever, Does n o t A n sw e r th e P u r pose—W ill To-day Settle t h e M a tter? A W o m a n W h o W a n ted to be H e a r d . The fifth day’s proceedings of the Gen eral Conference of the Methodist church was enlivened Saturday with a scene, which for a few minutes, threatened to bee ime highly sensational. Bishop J. E. Hursh called the conference to order promptly at 9 o’clock, and Rev. J. E. Wilson, a colored delegate from South Carolina, was about to engage in prayer, when a tall, neatly dressed woman popped up in the first box to the right on the sec ond row and exclaimed in a shrill voice, “ May I have the privilege of speaking a few words?” Immediately all became confusion. The delegates sprang to their feet and the visitors in the boxes and galleries crowded forward to catch a glimpse of the woman. Chief Usher Carley ran into the box and told the woman that a friend wished to see her at the door. She dra matically declared that she had no friends there, and insisted upon being permitted to speak upon the woman question, wuen the usher led her out of the box. She was escorted to the door, and» as she started up Broaaway, declared that she would return and make her speech before the conference adjourned. Sue refused to give her name. Dr. Buckley opened the discussion upon the seemingly undetermmable question of the eligibility of the women delegatesj by explaining the manner in which he had obtained the floor the day before. The committee upon the revision of the rules made its report, and then General Clinton B. Fisk opened the debate by advocating the admission of the five “ elect ladies,” as they have now come to be called, He maintained that the discipline does not say that woman cannot be a delegate. He said that they were there by as good a right as the men were, which brought out a fervent amen from a sister iu one of the Dr. C. F. Creighton of Nebraska said that Ms conference was the first to elect a woman as a delegate, and Mr. Kynett, secretary of the Church Extension Board, spoke for the women in an argument which brought forth so much applause from the visitors that the presiding bishop was compelled to call the house to order. The monotony of the discussion was broken by Dr, D. H. Moore of Colorado, who advanced a telling argument against the ladies’ admission. Dr. Moore then offered a long series of resolutions as a • substitute for the amendment, which were to the effect that the women delegates now elected as delegates be admitted without establishing a precedent, and that during the month of October, 1890, the question of admitting women delegates to the General Conference be submitted to the annual conferences. Dr. Aristide A. P. Albert, a colored delegate and editor of the Southaestem Christian Advocate of New Orleans, spoke against the women and several others spoke in their favor.
