-Mr. Pal no's Suggestions About
Wider Wheels for Wagons.
A regular meeting of the board of
trade rus helfl last evening. 11. K.
Paine vhairmnn of the committee on
legislation and taxation, presented a re
port from that committee recommend
ing that councils be asked to enact a
license tax of J6 per annum on all
wagons used for hauling heavy loads In
tiie city and that the proceeds of tlio
license tax be expended under the di
rection of the Ftrect commissioner In
maintaining and keeping In repair the
unp.ived streets of the city. The com
mittee further recommended that when
the owners of any vehicle so licensed
shall place on their wagon wheels tires
of a width of not ltw than four Inches
tint the tax be remitted.
S. J. Jlerr raised the question of coun
try wagons, but It was pointed out that
the city authorities could not exercise
any control over them. A. V. Dickson
Haiti he scarcely thought the report
went far enough in its recommenda
tions, but liiipported the suggestions.
Colonel Hitchcock advocated tha.t all
Vehicles be taxed regardless of width of
tires. John Kemmerer advocated a cer
tain length of time being given to busl
ness men to make the change before
the ordinance would be in operation.
Luther Keller thought 'that business
men were already sulliclently taxed and
that the water which was allowed to
How In tin? middle of the street did as
much ("anuige in many instances as the
chicles. He moved as an amendment
that the tax be not levied until the ex
piration of eighteen months, in order t
give hiudiuss men the opportunity re
ferred to. t'pon a vote being taken the
report of the committee was received
and the recommendations adopted.
Secretary Atlicrton Kc-i lcctcd.
D. B. Atherton was re-elected secre
tary at an annual salary of $1,SOO. V,
H. Peck, chairman of the special com
mittee on exchanges, reported the work
done by the committee with regard to
publishing stock quotations and ex
plained that all the business transacted
would be cniilid.'ivtial and names of bid
ders and se llers would be known to the
secretary alone.
The following delegates were elected
to attend the national convention at
Washington, D. C, on Jan. 9: Presi

ship were received: C. P. Jadwin,

ing held elected J. A. Lansing and the

Cincinnati, O., on Jan. 22. In compli
ance with a request from the Balti

That Tin Plate Industry.
A report was presented by the com
mittee on manufactures, In which they
favorably recommended the proposi
tion of L. K. Torliet, of Cincinnati, O.,
to organize a company, with a capital
of $-'00,0110, for the purpose of manu
facturing tin plate In Scranton. The
company would employ 1(10 bands, with
a pay roll of $20,000 per month. Mr.
Torbet, in an Interesting speech, ex
plained the details of the proposition.
Luther Keller supported the propo
sition and urged that It was one of the
best industries offered to Scranton, and
that, as $20,000 would be subscribed by
Mr. Torbet, the remainder ought to be
subscribed for In a week by Scranton
men. Mr. Council had spoken to him
as to the matter and bad described It
as "one of the bes t things ever offered
to the city."

HEALING THE SICK.
To relieve human suffering seems to
be not only a gift, but a comprehensive
knowledge of the means to employ.
Kvery day since Dr. Andrew and his
nss.icintcH came to Scranton, they have
b;-cn pel forming perfi st revelations in
.healing. - Some of their cures, both at
Music ilall and at their private ollice
at the Hotel Westminster, seem nl
rnost too remarkable for belief.
The case of Charles Campbell, who
was treated in public at Music Hall
for seven years ithls man had nut been
able to do any work, and for Hf toon
moi'.ths had nut left his door he says
that the (b.-;rlor treated him only once,
and that now he Is a well man.
Mr. Henry Hrown -was last week
cured of a very distressing disease of
the kidneys and Joints. lie had not
walked for over three years without
the aid of crutches. He says that the
doctor gave him sonic kind of medi
cine and oil'; magnetic treatment, when
he left their ollice carrying bis crutches
on his phoiilder and has not used tlum
since.
Mr. II irrisi.n had .been deaf twelve
years. He has been cured and can now
hear perfectly.
Jasper Johnson says that he bad been
nfllicted for about nine years viih n
distase of the kidneys, and that, after
only ten days' treatment, ho went to
work at his trade that of a stone
mason and has not lost a day s-inee.
On last Sunday afternoon, among the
number who calh d, was a line old Irish
lady who was all crippled up with the
rheumatism. She was assisted up the
etaiis and Into itlieir rooms, where she
told her K.irrovful tale of suffering.
1 lie dontor listened to her complaint
and then F.ild: "Madam, do yon v.bli
to be cured?" She replied: "And in
daiL I do, doctor." When before rhe
could count ten the doL'tor made a f.w
passes over her body and limbs, took
lier cants and threw them in the corner
and til. n ti '.tl her to gut up nnd wall:,
that she was all right. Slowly the aid
lady aros. from her chair, stretched
her limbs, worki d them back and forth,
und then began to walk and run, and
shouted, "That's the f-tuff! that's the
stuff! Before find 1 am cured; bless
you doctor, t!od bless you. But won't
the children be happy when I get home;
this will lie great for Christmas," and
away she went down Hie stairs and out
upon itlie street shouting, "See! 1 am
cured, the doctor has cured me."
This list of remarkable cures mUi'at
be extended to fill columns of ibis pc.p: r
and then not the half told.
All sick, cripph d and du.if people and
those who have pi vert up all hope, can
consult tin se docitors entirely free from
a. m. to S p. m. d iiiy. Tii y h. :il both
with and without medicine an 1 are per
forming the mm.', marvelous cure; ever
witnessed in Scranloii.

Application for a Xcw Trial in Din,
Water Case Withdrawn.
THE CASES THAT WERE ARGUED
Action That Was Taken In the Cases
I'usscd t'pon Injunction In the Sil
ver Creek .Mining Cases Dissolved,
Withers Case Settled.
Argument court opened yesterday
with Judges Archbald, Ounstur and Ed
wards on the bench. Attorney Joseph
O'lirlcn, of counsel for the Lackawanna
Iron and Coal company, .withdrew the
reasons for a new trial in the case of
the Scranton Clas und AVater company
against the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company. A few weeks ago the ac
tion was tried und a verdict of U'.-M
returned in fr.vor of the plaintiff. It Is
probable that the application for a new
trial has been withdrawn that the case
may be taken up to the supreme court
at once.
The cases argued yesterday were: C.
L. Ulce vs. Fidelity and Casualty In
surance company, rule to amend dec
laration; M. M. l;aird vs. W. 1!. Curtis,
rule for new trial; L. J. Leonard vs. C.
Smith, rule to relax costs; C. A. Huir,
committee, vs. John Kase and II. SPmo,
rule for new trial; J. J. Costello vs.
Hubert K. (till, rule to open judgment;
Thomas vs. D. V. Kearney, rule for a
new trial; IS. Ferris & Co. vs. Merrill
& Johnson, rule for security; Lazarus
Mover vs. Horton A.. Lee, rule to set
aside appraisement; city of Scranton
vs. Ilk liael Hm us, rule for judgment.
In the case of Thomas McCourt
against John Conway, a rule for new
trial was discharged. Similar action
was taken in the case of Alex. Ma-slow-sky
vs. It. J. (iallagher, rule to take
off non-suit. The following were
stricken from the list: City of Scran
ton vs. John Doyle, rule for set off; Oil
more & Duffy vs. Hannah A. Uoche,
rule for judgment; II. 11. Hoard man vs.
Francis S. lioarilnian. rule for uilmony.
The Injunction Dissolved.
Judge (Uinster handed down nn
opinion yesterday in the injunction case
of tlie Silver Creek Mining company
.against David K. Taylor and V. W.
1'attersoti. The proceedings were for
the purpose of restraining the defend
ants from operating the Johns breaker
in Schuylkill county and from mining
coal from the Harp tract which adjoins
the breaker. It was alleged that these
properties properly belonged to the Sil
ver Creek company Instead of to Taylor
& Patterson as Individuals. Judge
Cunster did not take that view of the
case and dissolved the Injunction.. V.
H. Taylor, president of the Silver Creek
Mining ciimpany, was not in the city
yesterday and what further steps may
be taken in the matter could not be as
certained. A settlement was effected in the in
junction cave of V. II. Withers against
L. J. Sie'oeeker and others, and by per
mission of court tl'.e case was discon
timif d.
In the case of the Pancoast Coal com
