Kor the past few weeks the sick and crippled ieople of Scranton have been flocking in meat numbers to see the emi nent physician, Dr. Andrews, ut the Hotel Westminster, and they always return filled with the greatest enthusiasm, and the stories they tell of his remarkable diagnosis and wonderful cures border on the mlrnculons. (ine)says I went thorn on crutches and clime away without them. Others say that they had been sick and had suffered for years und they were cured he cures by the laying on of hands and uses but little medicine. He Is the Kreatest nnd moHt noted magnetic healer of this century and to see him nnd be trcateii by mm means health. lie never makes a fullure where he undertakes a cure. In his diagnosis of diseases ho asks no questions, neither does he look at tho tongue or feel the pulse, but Just as soon ns he sees the patient ho tells at nrirA Inst whllt tti.i tvinKln lu ilnoflKlKlim every symptom, telling how they feel much bettor than they can themselves. His knowledge of disease is perfect and his cures border on the miraculous. There Is no need to live In constant misery. It costs nothing to see him. The fullest examinations are free, and a cure can be hail ut little cost. Ho is the Hick man'rt friend. No one Is turned uway unaided. He euros every known disease nnd In tho shortest posBlblo time. Ho re turns many to their homes entirely well. Hours for consultation are from I a, tn until 8 p. m.- dally. A Calendar Worth Having.

During the past ten years there lias been a marked und steady growth of athletics In America. The change has boon for the better nnd has put gym nastics nnd sports on n practical foot ing. There was a time when athletic spurts were discouraged, but that was long hko, during a period when the peculiar methods employed Invited and merited criticism. Today sensible peo ple generally approve of competitive sports, and the consequent tendency to vlrurous and graceful manhood. Yesterday's Tribune described briefly the complete equipment of the gymna sium of the ScrunUm Voufi; Men's Christian association und gave an out line of Its work. It seems appropriate that something should be said In detail of the attractiveness and doings of this department of the Young Men's Chris tian association. During the last three years the scope of the gymnasium has been enlarged so that It is no longer confined to indoor work In the winter, nor Is the local interest restricted to the limits of Scranton. The change has wrought Increased Interest In athletic work, anil is due to several cause s. About International Athletics. The local associations throughout the country have been formed Into state organisations, and the states in turn constitute the lntematinal Athletic as- Champion Athletes soclatlon of the Young Men's Christian association. Its purpose is similar to that of the Amateur Athletic union, and permits any member to excel in his state and finally to compete In the In ternational games with the best Young Men's Christian association athletes In the country.

JURY VIEWED PROPERTY Wanted to Sec Just How O'Horo's Property 'us Damaged. MOTT CASE IX JURY'S HANDS Harrington .Made No Defense-Small Ver dict Given In Favor of Patrick Sh if i. Action Drought by S. II. Cuttcr-.Mcn from Scott Township in Court. The most important matter In the counts yesterday, the one of the great est public Interest, was the suit of James O'Horo against the city of Scranton for damages done to his prop erty on North Ma-ln avenue near Throop street, by the widening of the avenue In accordance with an ordi nance passed by the city councils. Thu street was Improved in 1887 nnd a board of viewers assessed the damage done to White's property at $6."0. Ho appealed the case to court and it was yesterday tried. A number of wit nesses were sworn who gave their opinions ns to the market value of White's properly before it was seized and the value of what was left after it was seized. Their estimates fixed the damage nt figures ranging between $1,'J00 nnd $1,1100. The jury went up to view the property. Judge Edwards de livered a very learned charge to the Jury and placed the case In -their hands, ordering thorn to seal their verdict and return it to court tills morning. Tn No, 2 Judge MePherson heard the assumpsit suit of Assignee S. I!. Mott, of tlie Hyde Park bank, agulnist C. I. Jadvvln. Tho defendant's side of the case was heard yesterday and it was al leged that there is due Mr. Jadwln $2,300 Instead of his owing the bank any money. Judge MePherson's charge was a lengthy one, carefully prepared and clearly delivered. The Jury was or dered to report with its verdict, if one shall have been agreed upon, when court opens this morning. Offered No Defense. Judge Gunster presided in the main court room nt the trial of four cases. Tho first one was that of Enos Flynn against John Harrington nnd wife for a store bill contracted away back in 1.S77 to the amount of $:ui.4S. The de fense offered no testimony and the jury found a verdict for the full amount of the claim. Another suit where the defense prac tically admitted its liability by offering no testimony was that of the First Na tional bank, of Spencer, Iowa, against Knight, White & Co. to recover on a draft of $200, dated Nov. !), 1SS9. A verdict for the bank in the. sum or $201 was rendered. The jury brought In a verdict of $2.55 In favor of Patrick Swift, of Hichmondale, who sued the Elk Hill Coal and Iron company for alleged back wages amounting to $152. Charles Patchersued Levi Snyder for wages and the jury agreed that he was entitled to $u0.SI. S. II. Cutter engaged the attention of the court with his suit of $114 for car penter repair work done on three houses In Park Place owned by Mrs. Susan Dale. Cutter rented one of the houses, nnd after ho was engaged to do the repairs he thought It was not worth Ills while to pay the rent, and thus he allowed the rent roll to accumulate to $114. The defendants said that would square his bill for repair work and let It go at that. The Jury went out and came to thu conclusion that $27 was enough to pay him over and above the rent. A Scott Township Case. Quite a comical case was the next one nnd It was still on nt adjournment Henjamin Howey is suing James Wil son, of Scott township, for confiscating potatoes, onions and radishes worth in the neighborhood of $50. Howey and bis wife nnd two children went to live with Wilson and the agreement be tween them was that in exchange for Howey's work on the farm and his 4 0000 TIME As nnv to cot a Watch.

This went on until the third of Inst July, when Howey engaged a horse from Wilson to drive to Jeasup. At the latter place he began drinking, and when he got sufficiently drunk to be come foolish he gathered a crowd around und for their edification pro ceeded to show how well he had trained Wilson's horse since he went to work on the latler's farm. The animal re sented his familiarity and actually kicked Howey, breaking his nrm. Wilson discharged lilm and took the liberty of appropriating the crop of a small tract of land that Howey was cultivating for his own use. That Is the cause of the suit. It was tried before and taken from the Jury on a techni cality. Later a new trial was granted. Wilson was on the stand in his own de fense and made an amusing witness.
