If the Kd4 Moor P.rldsie company re
fuses to euhmlt to the deduction of
JStO.'S. the bill for in.'pection, from
their final fstlm-ito for Linden wtreet
brldjre. there will be h law suit. The
Pity doe not Intend to pay th.' brhlife
company until the latter acree to set
tie the bill for inspfctl-m of iron ag pro
vided In 'the specifications.
The bill was received frfm the Amer
ican Knirinotrinfr and In-tp'-cilon com
pany, of Albany, who deemed the rlty
their debtor Inasmuch as they were
engaged to do the work by th city en
Kineer. The siipec!''.i'ii;!i.r of the con
tract provided that the engineer
should ensaire a competent man to In
spect the Iron as t' wiis majc In the
company m:". at Wilmington, but it
also provided the cost c-f the inspection
nhnuld be borre by th br!d:re com
pany, t'pon receiving th. hill City
Contritler Wllniayer f..-: hivl h' for
warded it to th K l7e M 'ir company
at the same time calllnrr their attention
to the provision of the contract rev
ering this point. The company re
turn -d the bill with a hLnt to the effect
that they could ::ot be held accountable-
at l-iv for the wmre of a man em
ployed by the city of Scranton. City
Solicitor Torrey rendered an opinion
on the matter holding that the provis
ions of tho contract would stand at
Jaw. 'With these faclst before them the
auditing comiritti-e refused to approve
of the company' claim for tr.t .320.10,
the final estimate on the brldrre, and
decided to refer the matter to coun
c'ls. It In likely that the bridge company
w!!l b offered the amount of their
claim minus the Inspection bill and If
thy don't want to take it they can
ite for the whole amount of their
claim.
Tne same provision In made In the
Roaring brook ibrldce contract and If
the Kdire Moor company should wrig
ITle out of paying th! debt the Phoenix
pet pie doubtlessly would also try It.

was Illegal becnu.-o ilon. without t!-e
knowledie or con. ent of his cllenl, who
w as the largest stockholder of the com

declared Hint Hindley nt v -r paid n

!Wfi"l: another, JI.nC7.7l. nnd n third.
$H.!7.''.7fi. Th se notes bear Interest and
are the ones In question In the present
proceedings.
Mr. Hamilton was followed by Attor
ney Price, who argued the Jegal aspect
of the carte onlv an 1 rlU'd several ni
thorltlo to show that the Issue of stock
above S20.0HA and the notes to Judge
Hnndlev wcr. llleral and a fraud on
the other stockholders.
.irenmenls for the lttet".
'Mr. A merman made the first argu
ment for the erlabi nnd said that at
the time the new Issue of stock was
made and also at -the time the notes
were given Mr. Schull was not a di
rector of the company and did not
know what was being done In regard to
Its management. 'Tie produced a reso
lution of the board of directors author
izing the 'Increase of the capital stock
from $20,000 to $1,10.000. iHe said an ef
fort had been made to "befog the Issue
by crying fraud and making allega
tions not one of which could be sus
tained by competent testimony auch as
H wculd be necepsary to produce on the
trial of a case before a Jury In court.
Attorney Palmer in his argument
said there had not been -one sufficient,
substantial reason advanced why the
courts should Interfere with these
Jmlgmenis. William iSchull. he said,
was an Interested party and would be
Incompetent to testify If the matter
camn up for -trial. They hi d objected
to the testimony taken oefore the
commissioner, In fact it waa all plaa-
1 tcred over with oblectlons, and If the
I case had teen heard In court thla testd-
many would have been ruled out. He
I mid It was easy for ghouls and vam
pires to attack a dead man a reputa
tion; that the living ass could kick the.
dend Hon. Handley had paid for all of
the Mock he obtained In the Wyoming;
Manufacturing company. If not In
cash, then in something else of valin?.
The argument was answered brielly
by Mr. Price after which court took
the papers.

A TKEACHEKOUS ENEMY.
A Common Experience ondtbo Lesson It
Coiituing for l'coplo I on J of
Living Out of Doors.
A young man in Philadelphia was
fatally Injured not Inn ng i by so inno
cent a thing as a cuff button. lie fell in
such a manner that the buttin was
driven into the flesh of his wrist. The
Wound tlioiiirn painful, was not consid
ered dangerous and no great precaution
was considered m-oossary until sl.'ns
of lockjaw appeared. Xlien, of course,
all treatment was useless.
This is one example of the power for
mischief of little things. Here i.s an
other li-ss-dramatli', but more common
and, therefore, more impressive. Peo
ple who went from town to country In
tile beautiful (--iimruc-r of lS'.l't, UelightcJ
to spend most of their time out of doors.
They even lay on the soft grass at
night, watching the stars and enjoying
the cool breeze. If, upon risir-f, a man
found his back stiff he oaul. "1 must
have been In one pot-ltlon too long."
If the stiffness perslsiti-d until the next
dav he sabl. "1 ruohs 1 must have taken
a little cold." '
I'.ut now vacations are over and the
autumn Is well advanced. That sore
ness and weakness In the lower part of
the buck con il
other disorders. Shivering nnT fever
alternate, inert; is un unconniierable
feeling of lassitude t times, tlio urine
Is opaque and sonit-tlrnf s bloody, the
skin Is paliblnnd tho face bloated Just
beneath tin; eyes. Ingestion Is poor
and appetite almost K"rie.
Let us look the matter In tho face
without flinching. Thtmls more than a
little cold, although In the beginning
It wa only n sudden checking action of
the skin end kliln-ys. V
dreaded 'tghts disease, a foe to life
finite as diva-led a consumption. Com
mon sense w in Id db-t at.' that no time be
lost In vain regrets that more prudence
was tint exorcised In the country. Let
us find a remedy If wo can.
We fin- fortunate In know that Wer
ner's H.-if" Cure w ill bring "l ack health
and energy, and tho tn.rui!'! action of
the kldiiefs. It is tho function of the
kidneys to expel from the system
broken down tissues In the form of urea
an I uric a. id. Portlier w ith certain
salts that have dune their work. No
other oi-gun than tho kidnt y.s can rid
the body of this ib-Hth laden matter.
Congested. InllameJ kidneys act as a
drain to keep pi Ison In the system.
What makes Warner's Safe Cure the
wonder nnd admiral Inn ' f the tnodlcal
profession. Is Its mw -r to soothe the
iiitl.irnii.il' I. ni In the kidneys at-d to al
lay the coiiei stioti sn that tho urine,
