hour Sunday morning. April 14. 1895, by
being struck by a passenger train op
posite the Lackawanna Iron and Steel
company's store, near where Jefferson
avenue would cross the tracks if it
were projected.
Gets was a well-to-do business man
of the West Side. He left home the
Saturday before his death to collect
some bills on the South Side, he being
In the meat business. He remained on
the South Side until late and the sup
position is that he was taking a short
cut via Mill street when he was struck
by the 2.5f a. m. passenger train from
New York and fearfully mangled. The
body laid on the tracks until & o'clock
In the morning. -

UNIQUE RELIEF MAP.
It Is the Work of Survetor Donning and

office of Civil Engineer A. B. Dunning,
on Spruce street. It Is the Joint work
of Mr. Dunning and Professor E. La
mase, and Is what Is known as a relief
map. It Is made of plaster of parls
and Is an exact reproduction In minia
ture of the topography of the county
between Archbald and Old Forge. At
a glance a good Idea can be had of the
location and height of the mountains of
the county, position of the water
courses, routes of the railroads, loca
tion of the coal breakers and the land
that is underlaid by coal.
As an object lesson In local geography
the relief map will be Invaluable.- It
gives the student an idea of the topog
raphy of the county as it would not bo
possible to obtain from the- ordinary
flat, colored maps." It Is Mfc Dunning
and Professor Lamaste's intention to
make similar maps of the entire coun
ty and of the Lackawanna and Wy
oming valleys from: Carbondale to
Nantlcoke.

Coughs, -
Consumption.
The greatest cause of terror of
the present day, formerly con
sidered hopeless, is now conceded
by the best physicians as curable
under proper conditions. Its
cause a depleted condition of
the system ; a mal-assimilation of
food; a wasting away of the
tissues ; an impoverishment of the
blood. The result a diseased
condition of all the organs of the
body ; a formation of eating ulcers ;
and the result death from collapse
or hemorrhage. But the cure is
Bovinine
that greatest concentration into
the least possible bulk of the
vital elements of lean, raw beef.
It is absorbed and nourishes with
the least possible effort on the
part of the stomach. It creates
new tissue, enriches the blood,
makes flesh, and by strengthening
the great vital centres of the
body enables them to perform
their functions in a natural man
ner, and dispel disease. Thou
sands owe their life to its use.

Charles Cushman is still on the frappo.

"You never heard how Pat Tebeau's
nose was broken while Pat was attempt
ing to bunt a ball?" asked Tom Brown.
"This came off In Boston, and 1 think
Jack Clarkson was pitching. Jack sent
a slow one and Pat brought his bat down
on the ball. There must have been an
awful twist on it, for it ran up the bat.
and struck Pat an awful belt on the smell
ing organ, - breaking the bridge of his
proboscis. I have often heard of batsmen
being Injured while attempting to bum,
and it always happens in these that the
ball caroms off the bat, takes an upahoot,
and catches the batsmen. In the face."
"Tony Mullane was the most phenome
nal pitcher on the diamond," says Jim Mc
Qulre. "He was always In condition to
pitch and never complained of a sore arm.
and It Is my Impression that he has lost
none of his skill or strength, though nat
urally he Isn't stuck on pitching If he can
play some other position first base es
peciallyand get as much money. Tony
was a natural born athlete. When lie
was a kid he was a crack roller skater.
He was proud of his shape and had rea
son to be, as he was one of the finest
made men on the diamond. He could pitch
pretty fair ball with his left hand, and
once In a while he tried the left hand on
weak south-winged batters."
