GARBONDALE.
i SUES FOR DAMAGES.
. ilortoa Lc Bring Suit Against the Tran
sit Company.
On account of the damage which he
received by belnR run down by a street
car lonuf time ago, Horton Lee, pro
prietor of the hotel at Mayfleld yard,
commenced suit ORulnst the Lacka
wanna Valley Rapid Transit company.
General .Manager John Aitken was
summoned before Alderman Jones to
I answer the charge.
Mr. Lee was- crossing the narrow
! bridge over the river near the yard at
the time of the accident when a street
car ran Into the carriage and wrecked
It. The horse was also injured to the
amount of $23, which, with the loss
on the wagon and work necessary to
have It repaired, brings the amount of
damage to the amount of $18, which
Mr. Lee wishes' to recover.
The case was most interesting. At
torney J. E. Burr represented tho de
fendant and H. C. Butler, the plaintiff.
The loss occasioned by the horse was
due to the animal being afraid of street
cars ever since the wrick, and Mr. Lee
was obliged to sell him for $25 less
than he would have received otherwise.
The principal argument of the plain
tiff was that the Company had appro
priated Hart of the public highway to
which they had no right, and that
many people had been greatly Incon
venienced by the state of a f fa Ira. Su
perintendent Duni'an. who was pres
ent, gave the width of the street cars,
but could give no information con
cerning the bridge.
The onlnion of a Philadelphia Judge
In rerard to a similar case was read
by Attorney Burr, who asked the al
derman to dismiss the case. However,
Mr. Kutler objected to this as the
alderman had issued a summons, and
said that it was, a case which should
be given to the curtk to decide. Alder
man Jones has not yet given his decis
ion. He has ten days to consldt the
matter.
STOLE FROM A MINE.
Several Kegs of Powder and Tools Taken
a from Jio. 1 Slopo
z A great deal of Inconvenience was
occasioned several of the miners of No.
1 slope last week by the theft of their
powder and tools on Thanksgiving day.
The miners did not work on that day,
. hence the thieves ' had an excellent
chance to make way with the booty.The
loss of this also threw the men of one
level out of work as they had no tools
or powder. ,
The amount of stuff taken was quite
valuable and was the personal property
; of several of the miners. One of them,
John Toolan, had a keg of powder, two
. gallons of oil and a box of squibs
taken. Another victim was Elijah
Wolfendale who lost a half keg of
powder and. spmeoll. This was all that
was taken- that time but on former oc
casions small articles have been missed
, but It was not thought tit the time that
they had been stolen. As soon as the
theft 'Was; fllscovert'd Superintendent
Andrew Patten at once set about trying
to find some trace of the guilty per
sons. A reward of $."0 was offered for
Information leading to their arrest and
conviction.
' The mine was locked up so the per
sons must have entered through the
opening near the St. Hose cemetery.
w li left is used by miners living in that
vicinity to savp them the walk to the
mouth of the slope.
' A short time ago, some one entered
the mine and took out with them a
i valuable boring machine. Pour cham
bers were gone through this time and
every available article taker..

The builal of William E. Cullon,
whose death was both slngulnr and
pathetic, took place nt Lovelton Sat
urday morning. The particulars lead
ing up to and concerning his tragical
death are ns follows: He was a native
of North Branch township and mar
ried a young lady named Somers, of
Hazleton. Some four or five years ago
they removed to one of the Dnkotas,
took up some land and started a ranch.
They lived there until a week or two
since, when they started eastward to
take the old homestead, tho father, one
sister and two brothers having died,
meanwhile. They had purchased tick
ets via. Hazleton, Intending to Visit the
wife's relatives before coming to Love
ton. One night, while pasing through
the state of Wisconsin one of the chil
dren was taken sick 'and the mother
took It to the toilet room without arous
Inir the father, who was asleep. When
she came back her husband was gone,
and a hasty search failed to find him,
but revealed the fact hat one of the
outside doors In the vestibule was
open. The train was stopped and
backed up a distance of eight miles,
where the body was found, with the
brains dashed out against the rocks.
It Is upposed that ho awoke, and find
ing his wife and child gone, started to
search for them. In his drowsy state
he mistook the vestibule door for that
of the toilet room and stepped out to
meet his terrible fate. The distracted
wife, with three children, brought his
remains to Hazleton and thence to
Lovelton. Sympathizing friends met
them here and accompanied the party
to the last Testing place of the dead.
He was a son of David Cullen, and was
about 35 years of age.
It Is a noticeable fact that qulck-get-rlch
societies are on the wane. It Is also
noticeable that people who Invested
most heavily In them are still toiling
with their hands to earn the bread that

claims of the promoters of the afore
said societies. "By the sweat of thy
brow shalt thou eat bread" Is a procla
mation as lasting as the human race.

THE DEAL DIDN'T WORK.
From the Louisville Times.
A man with a red nose which looked
chronic and had the air of being legit
imately acquired, called at the omce
of a big life insurance company, and,
addressing the first official he hap
pened to meet, said:
"Sir, I am insured for $5,000 in your
company."
"Well?"
"The policy, strange to say. Is made
out In the name of my wife. She has
possession of It."
"Not strange at all, but eminently
proper," said the official.
"And If I could get hold of the policy
1 would hock it," continued the man
with the red nose "but Bhe keeps it
hid. I am here, however, for the pur
pose of making a proposition to you,
and the whereabouts of the policy is
neither here nor there. Are you open
to a deal?"
"We are," answered the official,
coldly.
"Well, here Is my plan. Since I can
not raise anything on that policT, I
spring unon you the following situa
tion: Before nightfall I shall be a dead
man. and you'll have to pony up that
$5,000."
"How do you make that out?" de
manded the official, in tones of sur
prise. "Simply because I cannot get a
drink," replied the policy holder. "If
whisky Is not forthcoming I perish. I
simply lie down and stiffen out and
you lose your money. A quarter of a
dollar, however, will save my life and
save you 5,000 bones. Twenty-five
cents fixes me and I live. Without It I
breathe my last and prove a dead loss
to you. If I survive, however, my wife
will go on paying premiums, and who
knows but what I may become a cen
tenarian?" He looked anxiously at the official, but
the latter seemed to be frozen solid.
"Do I get the quarter?" he demanded,
after a pause.
"You do not," was the reply, In Icy
tones.
"Very well," and he sighed heavily,
"that settles it. Make out your death
claims and things. Fill up the check
payable to the order of my weeping
widow. Charge me to profit and loss."
He walked heavily out.

"I believe the life of my daughter,
now four and a half years old was
saved by the use of Bovinine
during her dentition. I know of
nothing better in cases of ex
haustion, due to irritable con
ditions of the stomach." Try
for yourself a few drops in baby's
milk, and see why over 25,000
doctors commend it.
