lr. K. H. Weston, of West f'ittston,
formerly of Taylor, was sworn. He
was her fainilv physician before and
after her exierietice in Dr. Hill's olliee.
He described her as not being troubled
us far as he could see with any hysteria
or nervousness before this Incident, but
afterward he found her nffectPil with
hysteria and nervous troubles, and he
prescribed medicine a number of times
for her. The doctor will try to give an
account today of the number of limes
he wailed upon her to treat her after
April S, lsirj. and the charges he made
for his servict s. This is asked so as to
estimate the measure of damages. The
doctor examined her mouth the (lrst
visit he made and found it swollen.
Her husband was lint on the stand,
and tesll'ied that when he came home
from wink that day she was lyins on
the sofa sobbing. She told him she hail
been to the dentist's and this was the
i result. Mr. Klyun went for some medi

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
TThiler 'his henillnR short letter of In
terest will be published wlien accompa
nied, for publication, by llio writer's
name. The Tribune will not be hold re
sponsible for opinions here expressed !
lr. Goodman''. Denial.
Kditor of The Soranton Tribune.'
Sir: During the pnst few month
much newspaper space has been tie
voted to the Piremens' I'nion of Lack
awanna county ami the firemen in
general, but on no occasion has the
columns been put to such use as dur
ing the past week, when u Htati'inent
published In the Sunday World of
Sept. 'M. misrepresented nie to a great
extent. Prom reliable information the
articles were furnished to a represen
tative of the World by Chief Kngineer
Hlckey. That Mr. Hlckey knew -e
was not telling the truth results will
show. Many statements were made
that upon investigation proved to be
fals". principal among tin in being the
one that the names of A. J. Col bum, r..
and M. A. McGlnley were (--elected by
Mr. Aloir. .Mr. Durr, of the fire com
mittee of councils, and Chief Hlckey.
.Messrs. Durr and Molr must emphat
ically deny having anything to do
with the matter snd stated that Mr.
Hickey never suggested the matter to
them at any time. Thnt much for Mr.
Hickry's truthfulness Thein lire
many other statement that excep
tions ran be taken against, but one in
particular 1 desire to have cotivctel,
and if .Mr. Hickey or any one else In
sists on it. I will bring- nlllduvits signed
by Mr. Seamans. Captnln Molr. K. V.
Zlneliiiaii. James Kiley, and. in fact,
uny member who was present at the
meeting of the Piremens' I'nion on
Sept. 11.
That statenienl was that "Mr. Good
man said before the meeting that he
did not propos" to be led about In fire
matters by the Irish of thl city." This
statement I positively deny making,
at uny time or place, either before or
after the meeting on S pt. II, and Mr.
Hickey, with his tools, cannot connect
me with it. As to Messrs. Mettinley
and Colhurn, I would say that at no
time was the name of McGlnley or
Colborn considered by the I'nion, ex
cepting on Sept. II, when the action
of the piesidenl, who had Invited Mr.
Colborn on his own responsibility,
was ratified.
The statement made that "Isadoro
Goodman arose and slated it was the
wish of President Seamans that Mr.
McGlnley be left out and that Mr. Col
born be alone accepted" is another of
IMokey's remarks. Surely there were
other? there besides he and I and still
he cannot bring evidence from one per
son present that I made any such re
mark but on the contrary I have sworn
proofs that such a remark was not
made. The whole mutter was one of
expense. When you consider that $f.uo
was ex'ieeled to be realized from the
excursion and only $100 was the result,
anybody but an Ignoramus would know
that the plans of the t'nlon would have
to be altered to suit, tne tiuaiices.
Still Hickey wanted I w o to talk. The
inline of Captain Molt' was suggested
to make the opening and another to
second, as Captain Molr staled pre
viously that he was going to Johnstown
and therefore no additional expense
would lie attached to the I'nion, whose
funds would all he used up with legiti
mate expense such as printing, etc.
The statements that annearpd in Ihe
Sunday World on Sept. 20 were to have
been printed in their issue of the ):ith
Inst., but the representative slates that
tin reports he hud received could not
be vcrllied. tin Thursday, Sent. 17,
Assistant Chief St. John, of Wilkes
Barre, was the guest of Mr. Hickey.
mid before leaving for home It wax ru
mored about thai he had Setiinton
:;obd, and that Wilkes-liiine would
now win etiKlly. That Hlckey had
made a "deal'' suggested Itself to me
Inasmuch as he did not present himself
tit the meeting on the 17th Inst., where
It was stated that it was known that
live delegates elected by Sernnton com
panies were to vote for Wilkea-Harre.
Who was responsible for this state of
affairs?
This can easily be answered by those
delegates o-ilv who had intended to
vote for Wllkes-Harre. Am for Mr.
Hickev's statement that he was dolner
all in his power to get the convention
here, the remarks that he made to
President Senians thnt he was not
even going to Johnstown, shows conclu
ttively that he was not acting In good
faith. There was n great many other
facts that could be brought out aifalnst
llli'kcy, but as I have taken up enough
space to satisfy the public that the
statements are untrue, 1 close, hoping
that in the future, when Chief Hlckey
again allows his hol-headedness (as he
termed ill to get the best of himself,
he wl'l not attack the character of

will help us sell goods and help you find the special bargains uround the
store. We have had printed a goodly lot of large yellow tags to go only on
goods that h ave been reduced in price. In other words, wherever you see a
yellow tag you may be certain the article has been reduced hi price and is a
sure bargain. In fact, we intend that "Look for th? yellow tap" shall be
the watchword of the bargain seeker.
Todap is the lifst day we use them, aud we've used rather more of
them than we intended, but we arc determined they shall be well introduced
and honestly used. To introduce the tag we've made a slaughter of the prices
iu the Silverware department. The reason we chose the Silverware Depart
ment is that ti e large pieces of silverware have not been selling as well as
they ought. That means that the stock has staid on the shelves longer than
it ought. It means that we've had to clean it oftcoer than we ought, and con
sequently the "brand new" look is gone from some pieces. It doesn't hurt
them a particle as to wearing quality: it doesn't hurt them a particle as fur
as the buyer is concerned, but it makes it rather hard for us rather bard
for the seller. But we think we know a way to sell them and today we try
it. The cut is a gicat one, averaging over otic-half, and cost has cut uo fig
ure in the figure cutting. All the goods arc good quality, triple aod quadru
ple plate, fully warranted as to wear. Here's some of the items with new
aud old prices side by side, as they are on the yellow tag :

Water- Damaged
It is well known that our line stock of Carpets, Draperies,
etc., has never been offered at "great reductions," "clearance
sales," etc., for the reason that the goods were new and select
in styles, durable in quality, and right in price.
The recent fire in the Coal Exchange has made conditions
different. The pattern and quality is still the same, but the
appearance is somewhat impaired by having been wet.
Our trade is such that we cannot afford to have anything
in the store with even a suspicion of damage. Therefore
every grade of goods must be closed out for what it will bring
whether damaged or not. If you need anything for floors or
windows, you may never again have the opportunity of buying,
such goods at such prices.
