The Thurlow Medical Institute was
opened tluee months ago at No. 303
Spiuce street. Most of the cases to
which their physicians have been calted
had been given up by the family physi
cian and In some cases after calllnK an
other In consultation. Yet the Ph st
ctans of the Institute have not had to
write a sinele death certificate. Such
n tecord in curing disease is mui velous,;
yes, almost miraculous. Over thiee
thousand cases treated and not one
death. They employ eminent special
ists for all diseases. You set their b
vlces fiee. If you need a physician
send a postal card and they will send
one to attend you until cured. They
havf a separate cine for each disease,
approved and recommended by homeo
pathic physicians and endorsed by
prominent people nil over the countiy.
They could publish several thousand
cures right heie in Scranton If the
patients did not object to having their
Jiames in the papeis. A few aie pub
lished in their advertisement on another
page. The success of these cures has
made the name of "Thurlow" famous
all over the state.

The Hitchcock Case Atgucri.
Arguments for n now trial were yes
terday made in the famous case of
James Gannon against Thomas Rice
and others. Judges Gunstei and Ed
waids, only, sat In the cuse, Judge
Archbald letlilng becnuse he Is a wit
ness Tho plaintlu was lepresented by
Attorney I. II. Hums, RIchaid Bustecd,
jr., and John F. Scragg and the defend
ants by Attorneys Thomas F. AVells
and C. R. Pltchei.
While tin- pioceodlngs are for a new
trial tho main effoit of the attorneys
Is to tecuie the leloase of Gannon, with
out compromising their stubborn client
oi the cotn t The contention of the
plaintiff Is that the vol diet, which
bi ought about Gannon's Impilsoninent
for contempt was obtained by fraud or
mistake and therefore anything conse
quent mon it must fall.
Theystiove to show that Gannon nov
el consented dliectly or tlnough his at
torney J that theaction In the tilal of the
case in 18S7 should be amlcnble eject
ment ot that a conditional or moulded
vcidict should bo found, but that he
and they undci stood that It was a
common law ejectment.
Mi. Uustecd piesented the affidavits
of Gannon and the attorneys In the ease
denying any agi cement to a conditional
ei diet. Mi Eurns pleaded that some
thing should be done to effect Gannon's
release, holding that the law never In
tended that a man should be punished
so sevetely foi simply refusing to do
what his conscience tells him would
be a gicat wrong.
Mcssis. Wells and Pitcher argued
against the new tilal, setting foith that
the form undei which the case was
tried was legular und agreed to by the
patties In action.
Fiom this grave and seiious case
couit next parsed to one that was hu
moious fiom beginning to end. It was
an oiphan's couit matter in which the
estate of Alexandei Doake, deceased,
was the point about which the action
revolved Attorney T. J. Duggnn did
some woik for the estate and chaiged
up $125 foi fees and expenses The lien
creditors of the estate excepted to the
size of the bill and upon bringing the
matter to court Attorney C. W. Dawson
w as appointed audltoi to adjudicate the
differences. Ho cut Mi. Duggan's fees
down to $30 and fixed his own compen
sation for this labor at $40, all of which
saved tho estate the vast sum of $10
Mi. Duggan Hied exceptions to the re
poit, piotestlng against the cut in his
own tee and avowing that Mr. Daw
son's fee was exhoibltant. Ml. Daw
son's lepoit was funny, to say thr
leabt, but it wasn't a circumstance as a
laugh provoket to the argument made
against by the willy ex-burgess of
Eucktow n.
The way in which he hurled his shafts
of iiony, satire and ildlcule at Mr.
Dawson and his leport and also against
Attorney C. F. Bohan, of Plttston, who
argued for the Hen creditors, kept the
couit and all the listeners in an almost
continuous roar of laughtei.
The giound upon which he built up
his argument was that he objected to
having his fees regulated according to
the Ideas of fees held by bucolic attor
neys fiom Plttston or by Mr. Dawson
to whom he also paid some undesirable
compliments.
The case of the Standaid Life Acci
dent Insurance company, of Detioit,
Mich, against its agent, Aithur
Hitchcock, was argued by Major Wai
len, representing the company, and
Mi. Scragg as counsel for Mr. Hitch
cock. The company claims that the
agent Is guilty of letalnlng Illegally
$705 50 and has Instituted proceedings
against him Mr. Hitchcock puts in
an offet of $800 for ohico rent, fees for
settling cases and commissions or le
new als.
Three rules were argued. The first
was a rule for Judgment on account
of the Insufficiency of tho affidavit of
defense. The second was for a bill
of particulars and the third for security
for costs, the latter two being contend
ed for by the defense.
The contested elections fiom the Sec
ond ward of Dickson City weie nigued

The commissioners, John E. Wat
kins and II. W. Mulhollnnd, repotted
that scvcn illegal votes had been cast,
two votes not having been natuiul
lzed and five not having paid a state
and county tax within two years prlot
to the election. Uoth sides mndo ex
ceptions to the commissioners' findings
nnd the arguments yesteiday weie on
these findings.
Judge Stanton presented tho evidence
ns taken by the stenographer nt the

weie many more Illegal votes cast than

dence, ns presented by Judge Stanton,
