The Tribune Political Handbook for 1807 will be placed
in the bands of carriers tomorrow for sale at 25 cents a copy.
It is sold to tbein at cost.
The Handbook will be a complete local and political direc
tory and encyclopedia, invaluable for ready reference. It will
comprise more than 200 kirye pages of carefully compiled statis
tical matter, covering Northeastern Pennsylvania interests in a
manner not hitherto attempted by any similar publication. We
can recommend it as well worth the price charged.
The sale of it by the carriers of The Tribune insures them
their one means of special profit during the year. Readers who
wish to remember them for their punctual work throughout tlie
year, in all kinds of weather and under many disadvantages, can
ilo so most advantageously by purchasing copies of this fine

wus taken on In the shape of a Sl'VHMJ
clause for the openitiii of a new sireet
from the southerly end of Spruce street
bridge to the int' -rsection of Prospect

To overcome the object loll to Mr. Gil

WyomiiiK avenue amendment, Mr. Zeid
ler proceeded to have Mr. Gilroy's
amendment stricken off und to substi
tute one virtually the same, Willi him

moved lo lay the entire ordinance on

The viaduct adherents voted "aye"

When Mr. Nixme's ordinance to In

he wus not opposed t the proj.-ct but
must vote against it on the ground that
he war, r.ot pr pared to vote Intelligent

Mr. Noone. in answer to Mr. Keller
said that the lluht and water commit

KELLEY LOST HIS
POWER OF SPEECH

Two Years Ago Kellcy W as Injured

Period of Ten Unys lie Wus I nublc

Electricity Have Itcen Tiicd.
Dr. P. H. Kearney, of Wyoming ave
nue, has been called to attend a re
markable case ut the Grand Central
hotel on Lackawanna avenue, conduct
ed by P. H. Ourkin. A youn man
named Fred Kelley, w hose home Is in
Pittston, but who has been a transient
resident of this city for two or three
months, retired to bed Tuesday night
In good health, w hen he awoke yester
day meriting his power of speech was
gone.
Two years ago Kelley received a pain
ful blow on the neck und the larynx,
or voice box, was Injured so that he
could not talk for nearly ten days ulter
wurd, but he recovered and never had
any trouble in that direction since until
yesterday mi.ining. I'p to a late hour
last right he w as si ill incapable of
exercising his vocnl powers.
An examination of his larynx did not
disclose uny local cause for the strange
ailment. r. Kearney thinks that with
rest und treatment Kelley may regain
his speech In a few days, und it muy
be possible that he may have become
permanently bereft.
His oilier senses are normal. He can
see, hear, smell, taste and touch the
sumo us usual and can move his lips
and control the facial muscles and those
ot his tongue Just as well as ever, but
he cuiinot talk.
Dr. Kearney is a hypnotist of much
skill und he suggested to Kelley to sub
mi1, to the Inlluence in order to see
If his speech mlyht be restored. Kel
ley consented but the doctor could not
bring him under the spell sufficiently
to make an experiment.
The doctor guve him a charge of elec
tricity with a storage battery last even
ing, thinking that might slurt Kell- y's
vocal organs from their inertia. It was
not successful.
Kelley has l ot worked in a few
weeks. His lust employment was tend
