Scranton Capitalists Win mi Import ant l-'ight at Ilnrrlsburg. Major Everett AVarren yesterday filed In the otllce of Recorder Charles Ileus ter the charter for the Citizens1 AVater company, of Phllllpsburg, Center coun ty, Pa., of which Joseph J. Jermyn, John S. Mears and other local capital ists are tho stockholders. This Is the charter against which tho Phllllpsburg AVater company through Senator McCoiwell of Harrlsburg, made a protest, because the present company had not yet relinquished Its light to an exclusive franchise, not having divided among its stooholders a dividend of eight per cent, for five years. The Har rlsburg correspondent of the Philadel phia Press yesterday had ' this to say of the matter: Seetotury Reeder lias deckled a ques tion ifgurdliiK stock dividends that has never been adjudicated in the state de partments or the courts of the state. It relates to a favorite method many Pennsylvania corporalons have of re taining their exclusive franchise by in creasing tlu-lr capital stock in order to avoid paying their dividends which would have amounted to mote than S per cent. The act of Apiil 20, 1871, confers exclu sive franchise upon gas and water com panies until the corporation lias reulized and divided among Its stockholders a dividend of 8 per cent, for five years upon Its capital stock. An application was made by Scranton capitalists for a water company chart.!! in the borough of Phllllpsburg, against which tho Phllllpsburg Water company lodged a protest on the ground that it had exclimtvo franchise. It was shown at a hearing before Sec. rotary Reeder that tho old company had paid in dividends in fifteen years 83 per cent., and in stock dividends, represent, lug surplus earnings expended for the Improvement and betterment of the plunl, .7,000. Tho company's attorney contended that these stock dividends wero in reality in vestments by tho stockholders and could not bo taken into consideration in esti mating the profits of tho concern for the purpose of terminating Its exclusive fran. chlse. The secretary decided that whether the dividends weio declared In stock or In cash, they wero tho profits realized by tho stockholders upon their original In. vestment, and had precisely the Bame legal effect as though declared In cash. The protest was overruled) Suburban News hi Genera! SOUTH SIDE NEWS. Scranlon Athletic Club Celebrated Its Thlrteciilh Anniversary In a Very Enjoyable Way Last Night.

Instantly Ucllcvcd and Permanently Cured by Stuart1 DyspeyMa Tablets. A New Discovery, but Not u Medicine. Patent Dr. Rodwoll relates an Interesting nc cotint of what he considers a remark able cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the use of the now discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Ho says: The patient was a man who had suffered to my knowledge for years with dyspepsia. Everything ho ate seemed to sour and create acid and gasos In the stomach; he had pains like rheumatism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and distress nfter eating, poor appetite and loss of llesh; the heart became affected, caus ing palpitation und sleeplessness at night. I gave him powerful nerve tonics nnd blood remedies, but to no purpose. As un experiment T finally bought a fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store and gnve them to iilin. Almost Immediate relief was given nnd after he had used four boxes ho was to all appearances fully cured. There was no more acidity or sour watery risings, no bloating after meals, the nppetlte was vigorous and he has gained between 10 and 12 pounds In weight of solid, healthy llesh. Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised nnd sold In drug stores yet I consider them a most valuable addition to any physician's lino of remedies, as they are perfectly harm less and can be given to children or Invalids or In any condition of the stomach with perfect safety, being harmless and containing nothing but vegetable and fruit essences, pure pep sin and Golden Senl, AVlthout any question they are the safest, most effective euro for Indiges tion, biliousness, constipation und all derangements of tho stomach however slight or severe. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich., and sold by druggists everywhere nt fifty cents per package.
