Buncoed B Oosh Well in New York Confidence Game
Abram Gboba, a North Warren cattle dealer, complains of a Broadway confidence plot. Gibbs and his son left Blairstown with cattle, met a man in New York who paid with a bogus check. The trio faced a dice scam, a bartender handled the cash, and a weary chase ended with Gibbs cashing a forged note in Blairstown.

An unsigned report claims John Fackential, former Durham Iron Works superintendent, is named for Bequest furnace and the old stack near public blast. Cooper, Howitt & Co of New York own the furnace and may seek a lease. Pennsylvanian sources note potential delays and a representative of the Empire Starla Iron Co of Oxford and others discussed options, while nearby roads and roads funding feature in discussions. A separate note recounts a Washington trip, a coal load, and a mud road incident showing momentum for improved roads and future development in Warren County.

Flood and flood damage hit Delaware valley railroads
Reported from the Delaware valley and surrounding regions describe a weekend storm that shut down telegraph and telephone lines, halted electric service, and flooded rivers. Railroads suffered extensive losses with lines washed out and traffic disrupted for over two days, especially in the Lehigh Valley area. Damage reached into Belvidere, Phillipsburg, and Lambertville, with some towns nearly underwater and steel works forced to suspend operations. The National network faced severe delays as mail and passenger services struggled to recover, with the first through Buffalo-bound train resuming Monday night.
