WILL BE BENEFICIAL
That Is What a Scrunton Coal Operator
Thinks of tho Latest Agreement of the
Conl Compnnics.
At the Philadelphia meeting of presi
dents of the anthracite coal carrying
companies an agreement was entered
Into and an organization effected which
promises to stimulate the coal trude,
regulate prices and output and conse
quently benefit the Individual opera
tors.. Such, at least, was the comment
of a prominent Scrunton operator last
night. This gentleman said further
that the new organization is built upon
the lines of the old Trunk Line asso
ciation, which for several years has
done nothing but exist, and that In
name only.
At the Philadelphia meeting, says the
New York Herald, the presidents were
unanimously in favor of basing the di
visions on the tonnage mined and car
ried by each company during the past
year. This, however, would mean that
after the bitter experiences of a free-for-all
competition, during which some
of them necssarlly got less than the
proportions once agreed upon, they are
now willing to accept less tonnage for
the Bake of obtaining profitable rates
for what they do carry. The Reading,
which has been the cause of much of
the demoralization,' was the one that
called the meeting, and it evinced a
desire to see the coal trafllo placed on
a more desirable basis.
The Gentlemen's Agreement.
This apparent revival of good faith is
regarded by many as a quiet scheme to
Infuse life again into the "Gentlemen's
Agreement," and to restore to that oft
violated compact the vigor of a real
trust, such as Mr. McLeod aimed at.
Others, however, believed that the
'present effort to bring all the companies
together Into one happy family, and
possibly put up rates, was designed by
some of the barons, at least, to
strengthen the stock market until after
they had accomplished their purposes,
and that several weeks, at the most,
would see the coal trade In as demor
alized u condition as ever.
At the meeting of the anthracite sales
agents it was agreed to restrict the
output for January to 45 per cent, of
the June product, which would make
about 2.300,000 tons. The circular prices
were not changed. They nre $3.ii0 for
grate, $3.60 for egg and chestnut and
$3."j for stove.
.Means Rctter Prices.
When shown the Herald article, the
Scranton operator said that in sub
stance tho organization means better
prices for coal and Is the outcome of
numerous requests from the operators.
That the Reading company Is the
prime mover In the scheme the oper
ator did not doubt, as that company
has lately been receiving un average
of $1 per ton less than during the Mc
Leod regime.

111 SAVED HER.
How Mrs. Reese Became a Convert
Her Arm Was Useless, nnJ Could
Not Be Moved Without rain
How She Was Cured.
Mrs. John Reese, South Pottstown,
Pa., says; "It is now about a year since
I was cured of one of the worst attacks
of rheumatism I ever had. I had tried
all kinds of remedies and had several
doctors, but nothing did mo any good;
so I concluded to try Munyon's Reme
dies. I never had any faith in homeo
pathy; I confess now I am a firm be
liever in It. After taking the Rheuma
tism remedy a few days I was able to
raise my arm, which I had not moved
for two weeks without the most in
tense torture. Within a short time I
was completely cured, and it was per
manent, for during the past year I have
not had the slightest return of the dis
ease." Munyon's Rheumatism Cure is guar
anteed to cure rheumatism In any part
of the body. Acute or muscular rheu
matism cured In from one to live days.
It never fulls to cure sharp, shooting
pains in the arms, legs, sides, back or
breast, or soreness In any part of the
body In from one to three hours. It is
guaranteed ifi promptly cure lameness,
stiff and swolen Joints, stiff buck, and
all pains In the hips and loins. Chronic
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago or pain
In the buck are speedily cured.
Munyon's Homeopathic Home Rem
edy company, of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every disease, which
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 25
cents a bottle.
A CASE OFJALPRACTICE
Criminal Operation Kilted Mrs. Thos.
J. Watkins.of the North End.
HER . DEATH-BED STATEMENT
Woman Physician , of Scranton Implt
catcd-Coroner Notified of the Case
and Is Assisted by Four Physi
cians at tho Autopsy.
From the effects of a criminal opera
tion, Mrs. Thomas J. Waitklns, of 280(1
North Main avenue, died at midnight
Friday. She made a Bworn statement
a few hours previous to her death
which seriously Implicates a woman
physician of this city and releases Mr.
Wa'tklns from all responsibility of her
death.
Mrs. Watklns iwas the mother of
three small children under 6 years of
age and one Is a babe of but 17 months.
The family lived 'happily together and
though not well-to-do were respectable
and popular among Uielr neighbors.
About the first of December Mrs.
Watklns became quite 111 from the ef
fects of an abortion performed by the
woman physician mentioned In the
ante-mortem statement which says
that several criminal operations were
performed up to a few -days preceding
Dec. 2:1. On U at day her condition be
came alarming and Dr. Thompson, of
North Main avenue, wus summoned to
attend her.
She Did Not Rally.
The unfortunate woman did not rally
and on Friday 'hercondItlon became so
serious that Dr. Sullivan, of West
Market street, was culled for consulta
tion on the case.
It cannot be learned whether the two
doctors were aware of the true nature
of the case or not previous to the even
ing of the night of .'her death. At all
events that evening Alderman Will
iams, of the First ward, visited the
house upon request of the physloinns
and received Oho statement which Mrs.
Watklns signed before she died.
The case was communicated to Coro
ner Kelley, who empanelled the fol
lowing Jury, which viewed the reinnlns
Saturday, and without taking testi
mony adjourned to meet Wednesday
evening in tho ofllce of Alderman Will
lams: Matthew Golden, George ' W.
Davis, John Kellewlay, Llewellyn
Bright, Henry Coles and Edwin T.
Davis.
An autopsy wuh performed yesterday
afternoon In which the coroner was
assisted by Drs. Thompson, Sullivan,
Strang and Donne. It was found that
Mrs. Watklns had given premature
birth to a foetus of three months'
growth from the effects of a criminal
operation. Last evening the physicians
refused to discuss the autopsy or de
tails of the case.
Funeral This Aitcrnoon.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon will bo
held the funeral from the house. Revs.
George E. Guild and D. M. KInter will
officiate and Interment will be made In
Forest Hill cemetery.
At the Inquest tomorrow evening Cor
oner Kelley says the details of the
autopsy will be laid before the Jury ns
well as the ante-mortem statement
taken. Until that time he believes It
would not be proper to give them to the
public.
"A grave crime has been committed,"
he said, "for which some one Is re
sponsible and for .which some one
should be punished. Any undue pub
licity now might defeat the ends of
Justice."

PLAY BY CLEVER AMATEURS.
Hand and Glove Produced in un Acccptn.
' hie Manner,
"Hand and Glove," a romantic four
act dramu, was produced at the Acad
emy of Music Saturday night before n
fair-sized audience by the Stundurd
Dramatlo company, an amatuer orga
nization that contains some promising
mutuiial.
There were some Imperfections In
the performance, as was to be expected,
but nevertheless tho jvorlc of the ama
teurs, a a whole, wan superior to that
of many professional companies which
VLflit this city.
James Flynn, as Colonel Raven,
showed a distinct Improvement in his
work alnca last seen In amatuer thea
tricals In this city. A somewhat stilted
walk and a tendency to declaim too
loudly at times are his worst faults,
The comedy work of Robert Rankin
and M. J. Coyne. was very good. They
are natural comedians and only need
to curb a desire to drop into horseplay
to take ,a commanding place as ex
ponents of real comedy. P. S.
Barrett made a distinct hit as Dr. Pull
man. He has a' good stage presence
and a well trained voice. P. Daly Nl
land, Harry Bunting and George F.
Flehles also made a favorable Impres
sion In less important roles.
Miss Jemima Joins sustained, the
leading female role, that ot i,ady Ley
boro, in a manner which proves that
she has a proper conception, of dra
matic art. Unlike most amateurs she
does not rant or work a scene up to a
pitch that makes a burlesque of It.
She pronounces her lines in a well mod
ulated voice that shows careful train
ing. In the death scene she was par
ticularly artistic and effective.
Miss Gertrude McEachen and Miss
Agnes Rellly Interpreted In a most In
telligent manner the roles assigned to
them. Additional , experience would
make them most creditable acquisi
tions to the stage. In the second act
Miss McEachen, who possesses a sweet
soprano voice, sung "Au Revolt-," which
called forth an enthusiastic encore. The
work of Little Helen Long was not
the least meritorious feature of tho en
tertainment. "Hand and Glove" will be produced
by the same company in Olyphant,
Wllkes-Barre and Plymouth.

RECUIHEDJFROU DEATH.
The Terror of Man Thwarted.
In the Grasp of that Dread Disease, Con
sumption. Llfetilven Hack. Almost
Miraculous,
Fortunately, perhaps, the Consumptive
docs not realize his own' condition. II is
is a disease of continual waste until he
meets a death that is iu reality one of
starvation.
It Is now generally conceded that -this
dlseaso is incurable, that Is, by any
known medicine. Change of climate, or
some lifc-infusing food that will give uew
flesh, blood, and strength, and Induce the
various organs of the body to assume their
normal functions, this is the only hope.
The only wtiy to do tills effectually is to
give the patient lioviuine, that great raw
food product, tue greatest concentration
of the life-giving elements of raw ieef
known to modem science, lu this con
nection tho results obtained by Dr. J. II.
Head of Atlanta, Ga., in the treatment of
a case of consumption, are interesting.
Dr. Uead relates briefly how a man
about thirty-live years of age came to him
for treatment. He had lost forty pounds
lu weight In six months; he suffered with
a bad cough and experienced severe night
sweats; lie was unable, to do any work;
most of his family had died of consump
tion, and on examination his right lung
was found to be seriously affected, and as
the doctor remarked, " lie was iu a good
way to have an early funeral."
IJut note what happened. He was given
Bovinlne. In two weeks lie had gained
seven pounds, his appetite had returned,
he was able to do a good day's work, and
most of th distressing symptoms had
vanished; and at the time of writing the
doctor felt sure of a complete cure.
This is but one of many similar rases.
Bovinine vflll give new life and strength,
make new blood and flesh, stop waste,
ward off disease, and turn the current of
life's river again into Its natural channel.
Oivejt one trial while there Is yet hope.
