Bug Holllday, for seven yc.- a member
of tho Cincinnati club, . stenluy an
nounced his retirement from base ball.
He will cntcge In business und politics in

The best batting team in the National
league would be McGarn, first ban', La
Jolc, second base: Cross, third base; Dan.
len, short stop; Hamilton, Kceler nui
Lunge, outfield; Thornton, pitcher; Fur
rcll, catcher, ,
It Is pretty haid to get down to first
faster than Kceler does unless you hnvo
wings or n flying machine. Any grounder
to the Infield that takes two bounds, no
matter how nicely bundled, Is a base hit
for Hilly. It's no wonder he leads the
league In hitting. Cincinnati Enquirer,
President Powers wired Mnnager Finn
Tuesday that the Eastern league direc
tors, ut a session In New York, had rati
fied the transfer of the Rochester club
and franchise to Ottuwa, and ordered him

ALICE CARR TRIED
TO KILL HERSELF
Wat Tired ot Lite and Took a Doie ot
Carbolic Acid.
DRAUGHT WAS TAKEN AT TUB
HOUSE! ON LACKAWANNA AVU
NUE WHERE B1IE LIVED-SHE IS
NOW AT THE LACKAWANNA HOS
PITAL AND WILL PUORABLY NOT
RECOVER-SHE WAS A HANDSOME
WOMAN BEFORE HER DOWNWARD
CAREER BEGAN.
Alice Carr, of 18 Lackawanna avenue,
attempted to kill herself at .S0 o'clock
Inrt night by swallowing an ounce of
carbolic nclcl. She was strong- and per
fectly conscious nt midnight at the
Lackawanna hospital. The size of the
dose Is enoui'h to kill two or three
persons, but there may bo elements In
her case to bring; about her recovery.
She possesses great strength, being;
more muscular than many men, and
her stomach Is habituated to the use
of alcohol to such extent that the mem
brane Is less affected by corrosive sub
stances. In other words It Is pretty
well copperlltied.
There Is only a slight scar around
her lips where the deadly lluld came in
contact with the :lesh. nnd her throat
docs not appear to be much eroded.
The stomach pump anil powerful emet
ics were applied to her at tho hospital
and she vomited freely. Carbolic acid
cats the tissue so quickly that much
less than an ounce ot It Is competent
to bring about a successful case of sui
cide. The chances are very much
against her recovery. She suffered
great agony, and writhed around so
that It took four men to hold her,
MEDITATED DESTRUCTION.
Of late she lived at 18 Lackawanna
avenue with a man named Charley
Conway. He beat her yesterday morn
ing und "blackened her left eye. But
If the story she told a Tribune reporter
be true, It was not her quarrel will
Conway that was altogether the cause
of her rash act. She said she bought
the acid a week ago, and had been
meditating for some time on putting
an end to herself.
She told some of the Inmates In the
house with her yesterday that she
would not be with them long. They
tried to get her mind off such a gloomy
view. At 9.30 she went to her room,
stretched on the bed, and drank the
poison. Her groans attracted them, but
they did not think anything was the
matter more than a case of sickness
from too much liquor, of which she had
partaken freely during the afternoon
and evening. It was nearly 11 o'clock
before she told them she had taken
the poison.
Patrolman Gscheldle was on the beat
in that block, and as soon as he heard
of it, a telephone call was sent for tho
hospital ambulance, and Drs. Webb
nnd Newbury came with it promptly.
She was lying on a bed In a front room,
poorly furnished, nnd tho surroundings
of the place were wretched-looking, In
cluding two or three other women who
flitted from room to room. There was
not the least evidence of any help or
attention toward her until the ambu
lance arrived.
AFRAID OF AN OVERDOSE.'
At the hospital she gave her name as
Alice Conway, 28 years of age, and
birthplace England. She said she was
bent upon her destruction when she
took the oison, making sure to take
a big dose, and the reason she didn't
make it larger was for fear she might
take an overdose: but an hour or so
later she repented of her rashness and
wants to live longer.
She has had a varied career. Four
or Ave years ago she first attracted
attention. She had frequent quarrels
with her husband, a strong, hard
working man. They lived In Priceburg
and had two fine children, a boy and
a girl. The husband got possession of
the children, and she went to live with
a man named Hughes. They quarreled
frequently and were often In police
court.
She was a handsome woman before
her downward career began.

Sister ol John Fnurot Alloget Unduo

A petition was presented to court
yesterday by Attorneys Vosburg &
Dawson asking for an Issue to deter

Influences, and that he was hot of

employed In the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western enr shops, was
knocked beneath the front of a switch
engine yesterday morning and his
head was cut In several Places, his
right leg was bruised, nnd he was In
ternally Injured. Ho was brought to
the Moses Taylor hospital. The doc
tors would not say what his chances
for recovery are.
Ho was repairing tho root of a freight
car and stepped down n ladder thnt
stood against the side of the car, Into
the path of the engine. He was rolled
under the cylinder nnd one of his legs
stuck between the spokes ot one of the
big driving wheels. The sudden stop
made by tho engineer was the only

MUST SIGN CONTRACT
Peremptory Writ nt AInnilnmut
Against City Controller Robin
ton Is (irnutcd.
A peremptory mandamus was di
rected yesterday by Judge Edwards to
City Controller E. J. Robinson to cer
tify the contract entered Into by Dunn
Bros, with the city for the construc
tion of the South Side sewer. The only
way In which further action In court
may delay the construction of the sewer
is to bring the matter before the Su
premo court.
An ordinance was passed by both
councils two years ago few the con
struction of a sewer in the Seven
teenth district, which embraces tho
Eleventh, Twelfth, Nineteenth and
Twentieth wards, except certain waste
portions of them lying at tho outposts
of the city.
The court appointed John II. Fel
lows', Harvey R. Long and Harry Hat
ton viewers to assess 'the cost of the
sewer, and they made their report that
It would cost $35,000 and apportioned
In the ratio of $23,333.32 to the city to
pay, and on.-thlrd, or $11,CGG.66, on the
property owners of the district.
The city advertised for bids, and
Dunn Bros, were the lowest. To them
the contract was let.
They were prepared to sign the con
tract and did sign it, but Mr. Robin
son would not certify the contract on
the ground that there was no appro
priation provided for tho sewer in the
general appropriation for thnt year.
Tho appropriation was authorized by
the ordinance, but still there was no
money in the treasury for It.
Dunn Bros, by their attorney, I. H.
Burns, applied to court a few weeks
ago for a mandamus to compel Mr.
Robinson to certify the contract. A
writ of alternative mandamus was
granted nnd City Solicitor McGlnloy,
representing Mr. Robinson, filed a de
murrer. Argument took place last week
on the demurrer, and Judge Edwards
yesterday overruled the demurrer and
granted a writ of peremptory manda
mus. City Controller Robinson Is In Eu
rope and will not be back until Octo
ber. Tom Dunn, of the tirin of Dunn
Bros., Informed a Tribune reporter last
night that theA- will ask to have tho
contract certllied right away. This can
be done by Deputy Controller Elsele.
They will begin operations on the sewer
In two or three weeks.
UNrOKTUNATE PASSENUEUB.
Discomforts Endured by Trnvolers
on Railroad in Spnin.
From tho Kansas City World.
There nre In Spain 7,3.".0 miles of
railroad, less than one-third of the
number In Great Britain, Franco cr
Russia, and less than one-fourth of tho
number In Italy. The relative Insigni
ficance of the Spanish railroad "sys
tem" nppears best In comparison with
American railroads, a single line, th
Chicago, Burlington nnti Quinsy, hav
ing an aggregate mileage of 7,400,
owned, operated or controlled, or near
ly as much as all the railroads of
Spain combined. Spanish rallropds are
proverbally slow, the rate ot 'express"
trains being nbout twenty-five miles,
and of way passenger trains from
twelvp to fifteen. They seldom run
on schedule time, and it Is the testi
mony of all travelers that they never
make connections. The amount of bag
gage allowed each first-class parsenger
on a Spanish railrcad is slty-lx
pounds, but the railroads are not res
ponsible for its identification.
The charges on Spanish railroads are
remarkably high, being at the rate of
five cents a mile on flrst-rlcui trains,
about double the American nvf.-rog.
The difficulties ot passenger Unfile on
Spanish railroads are enhanced in some
particulars which sro rather amusing
than serious. Passengers are expected
to arrive at the station at lean half
an hour before the train leaves iu order
that sufficient allowance may bo made
for the dilatory proceedings of the rail
way officials. During part of (he day
(and In some cltle tho lnrser part of
the day), the railway station.! nie
closed and tho ticket offices do not
open until an hour befoie the time
scheduled for the departure of tJu train,
closing a quarter of an hour before It
is due.
One peculiarity of railroad travel In
Spain is to be found In the fact that
employes of the railroad company nre
entitled, as a matter of right, to the
best seats, even regaidless of the tic
kets sold passengers,
A SuccPks.
The elegunt through service of tho
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
and Nickel Pl.Ue roads has pioved a
great success, and next time you go
west try Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western train No. 5, or No. 7, and ride
through to Chicago in coach or sleeper
without change of cars.

The prayer of Attorney John J.
Murphy in his quo warranto proceed
ings against P. L. Terppe of the Scran
ton Poor district was grafted yester
day by Judge Cluster, who granted a
writ, returnable according to law. Mr
Murphy filed his petition on July J,
being represented by Attorney I. It
Burns. Judge ArcitbnUl wab away at
that time, nnd un il hli ii-r.iiii Judgo
Gunster put off granting the writ.
The proceedings In the poor hoard
ense are not similar to those In the
school board case. Tho latter was
brought In tho form of an equity suit.
Mr. Murphy alleges that he was elected
by the voters of the 'Eleventh, Twelfth,
Nineteenth nnd Twentieth wnrds to
represent that district on the iwor
board, nnd that Mr, Terppo's tenure of
the position Is not legal; Inusmuch as
he was appointed by the president
Judge of tliln court, nnd tho law pro
vides that tho olllce Is to be tilled by
the voters the same as other public
olllces are filled.
The status ot tho case now requires
Mr. Terppe to file his answer within
ten days. On the Issue thus raised the
case will be heard at the next term of
argument court, which will be In Octo
ber. Both sides will have a thorough
opportunity to prepare their argu
ments: nnd In the event of an adverse
ruling on tho prayer of Mr. Murphy,
his attorney will be ready to go to the
Supreme court.
Tho success of Mr. Murphy will mean
the unseating of the entire board.

sponsible for opinions here expressed.
Wnnt n Sewer I. old first.
Editor of tho Scranton Tribune.
Sir- Will joii kindly give space in
your paper for a fair explanation ot the
sewer and pavo trouble now existing be
tween' property owners on North Miiln
avei.ue from Putnam street to tho corner
ot Providence road, commonly called
Hull's Head Corners, and on Provldnco
road from Bull's Head Corners to Court
street corner.
Now I claim a sewer should bo laid
mil given at least the rains of a fall and
spring to settle tho ground whole the
earth Is dug up to put down a sewer.
There Is now a law existing that hap been
signed by the mayor to pavo the ttreet
ond avenue between tho muico before
mentioned before sewering. This I think
entirely wrong nnd Impracticable for the
following reasons: First, all old water
pipes belonging to ti water company or a
prlvntu citizen should be removed nnd
replaced by new pipe that would give the
longest service; then after the ground has
settled tako up the loose dirt and lay
down a good concrete base, then lay upon
the concrete some good pavement that
will givo us the best service and last the
longest.
1 was one who circulated a petition to
hold off the pavement until the street
was sewered and with but one exception
all wanted a pavement, but they wanted
a sewer first, ns 1 think almost anybody
would. Rut It having been stutcd to many
of the property owners by our councilman
that wo could not get a sewer for twi
to live years to come, concluded to sign
to have a pave first and then dig up tho
pavement and put down a sewer, as a
sewer oidlnanee was also passed and be
came a law about tho same time the same
street unit avenue, but owing to their
being no money of the city to pay their
share of the sewer, those who want a
navement use this excuse to pavo with
out a sewer. Now I nm told by so.no
councilmen that the city can and will be
bonded for otl or purposes, and why can
not North Main avenuo have a share to
ward paying the city's share of the sewer.
Suppose the city was bonded to pay
her part ot tho sowers of North Miln
avenue, Hydo Park and the South Side,
would this not be a good ordinance for
tho health of ihe city nt large?
If tha reader would pass along North
Mnln avenuo some hot day and smell the
slops that are turned into the streets
from the business places and dwellings,
you would then. I think, agree with me
that wo want and need a hewer first for
tho health of the public In general. Wo
also want a pave awful bad, but wo
wnnt a sewer wcise.
Now If these sticets and nvenueb wero
sewered, nnd tho catch basins put In nt
every corner, and the gutters cleaned
out so that tho water would not stand
In the street and avenue, then tho street
would not be so bad; us It Is now. tho
water does not run off and consequently
we must hnvo mud, as there Is a great
deal of travel on this street und uvenue,
as this is the Inlet from all the county
west and north of our city.
And further I will say that the mines
under North Main avenue und Providence
road should bo well propped before a
sower or a pavo Is laid, as there have
been some large mine caves In the ave
nue mentioned. In cuse of a cae-ln af
ter the street Is paved tho pavement
would, I think, hold up for some dlstaioo
while the dirt would fall away from tho
concrete, nnd the concrete pavo would
allow u car or vehicle to got onto It
some dlstanco before It would go down,
causing a great accident and perhaps
hold the city for damages.
And I would further state that we have
some very severe rain storms In this
end causing great floods of water tint
would make you think the street wan a
river, and If the stieet was paved and
curbed without a sewer with catch basins.
It would bo Impassable during a henvv
storm, and would cause tho water to flow
down the pavement so fast nil so much
on account ot tho street being curbed,
It would causo dnmnge, out of which
would grow damagn suits.
In talking with one of the largest prop
erty owners on the avenue, nnd one who
has a private sewer, nnd one who signed
against the holding off on the pavo uir.il
It was seweied, tald to me there should
lie some way In which a mnln sewer
should be laid down before n pave Is laid,
because It would help the sale of lots
where there Is a main sewer for all, And
one very particular point I will call your
attention to Is the Traction compnny has
decided to lay a double track on the street
and avenue mentioned, before it Is paved;
and when thero Is a double ,traek laid
on a street that is only 31 feet In width
In some places und 40 feet In others.
then where will you dig up the street
and pave for a sewer? One might say,
between the double tracks, Thero is not
room between the doublo tracks to dig a
ditch wide eough to put down a sewer and
If there were, the dirt taken out of the
ditch would block both trucks and If you
put It to ono side ot the doublo tracks
then the pave must be torn up for a
connection to every house, nnd this would
riinko It ii "holey pavo" when done, ns
you can't dig up a street and settle it as
before without letting time and nature do
tho work.
I nm very much surprised that our
councilman caused such n law to be en
acted, ns ho is n partner In a large front
nge on this street, nnd hns lots for sale,
and It would be a great benefit to these
lots and (hey would sell quicker It the

street had n nnln Fewer; nnd as the con
front for navlnir has not been let yet, tho
councilman und tho taxpayers In general
should correct tills mistake beroro it is
too late. And there nre many other tea
sons why a pavo should not be laid be
fore a sewer Is laid, and there should be a
law enacted prohibiting the paving of
anv stieet unless a sewer could bo laid In
the alleys.
Hoping I have not taken up too much
space In your Impartial journal and one
paper which haB given a fair, common
sense view of tho facts, I inn very re
spectfully yours, '. S. Lowery.
