Were to Come In tho Moscow
Water Case the Dofenso Outlines

Rendered and Two Others Entered
by Agreement Allegations In tho
Replogle-Carey Case.
In the matter of exhibits, the cape
of the Lacoe and Slilrtcr Coal company
against W. M. Springer Is n jeeord
breaker. At 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon, when adjournment was had,
Stenographer Willis V. Coston was en
gaged In marking for Identification
"Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 68."
This large number of papers enteilng
Into the case arc the deeds from the
time of the commonwealth grant In
17S0 until the present, by which tho
coal company Is endeavoring to estab
lish Its paper title. All of Monday af
ternoon and yesterday was taken up
with the presentation of these "ex
hibits" and the last is not yet com
plete. It looked for a time yesterday ns If a
third Jury would have to be empanelled
In this case. On Monday, It will be
remembered, Charles Stoner, of Scran
ton, one of the first Jury drawn, be
came 111 after the case had been opened
for tho plaintiff, necessitating tho
drawing of another Jury and a repeti
tion of the plaintiffs' opening. Yester
day when court reconvened after the
noon recess one of the jurors, Thomas
3ordon, of Carbondule, was missing.
GORDON AT'PCAltr.D.
After a tedious, and on the plaintiffs'
pait. an anxious wait, of nearly an
hour, Gordon put In an appearance
and took his seat In the box after ex
plaining that he was taken suddenly
ill at dinner. The case had proceeded
hut a short time when Gordon gave
signs of being HI again, and not wish
ing to go on with the case under this
condition of affairs, adtournment was
agreed upon until this morning. Judge
Kdwards told Gordon that he had bet
ter recover from his Illness over night
and be on hand In the morning.
The case of E. J. Ehrgood aernlnst
the Moscow Water company Is still on
before Judge Love. The defense was
opened during the afternoon by Mr.
O'Brien, who said It would be shown
that the company in no way decreased
the How of tho stream that supplied
Hhrgond's mill: that for years before
the water coninany tapped the stieam
the mill was periodically Idle because
of the lack of water, and that the
building of the company's dam made no
noticeable change In the flow of the
stieam or In the operations of the mill.
Charles Lancaster, who leased the mill
for a year previous and several years
subsequent to the building of the com
pany's dam, and a number of other
residents of Moscow gave testimony
along the line of air. O'Brien's state
ment. In the cne of Kane & TImony
against Fred IJeWltt and others, a
claim for plastering work and mater
ials, the jury found for the plaintiffs
In the sum of $JS.;o, which is $10 less
than the full amount of the claim,
ItEPLOGLE CASK.
The only new case called vesterday
whs that of D. P. Replogle, assigned
to David T. Williams, against William
C. Carey and his wife, Agnes Carey.
It is a dispute growing out of dealings
the defendants had with Mr. Heclosle
as attorney. When they came togeth
er in 1S!6 to effect a settlement the
defendants confessed Judgment in
favor of the plaintiff for $150. They
afterwards lepudiated the judgment,
alleging that they did not know what
they were signing.
Tho case teemed with allegations of
sharp practices and the like, but Judge
Gunstcr ruled that they had no direct
bearing on the case at Issue and gave
binding lnstiuctlons to the jury to find
In favor of the plaintiff, because of a
lack of a sufficient defense.
C. W. Carpenter and C. E. Olver
lepresented tho plaintiff and H. W.
Mullholland the defendant.
The case of Emily C. Ithule against
the Diamond Colliery Accidental Fund
was referred to II. C. Reynolds.

wanna and Western Railroad company

ment was entered for the plaintiff In
the sum of $72.41..

plaintiff wns entered by agreement In
the case of Austin MulIIey against
Anna Haslam and the Haslam Lime
company. There was an accompany
ing provl.so that execution should be
stayed for thirty days.
Rules for interpleaders were made
absolute in the cases of Clark Lowry
against Harry Depuy, and S. C. Whit
man agal. Louis Boyer & Sons and
others.

Coy. La Porte, lnd., Sept. 20 Koby, which
In past years was the scene of many
pugilistic battles, may be made tho
nier.a for the fight between Corbett
and McCoy.
Private advices from Roby give tho
details of the proposed meeting. Arch

gladiators Is In the hands of Stuart.
Consldine and lohn Condon, of iut-0
track fame, and a secret meeting held
at Mount Clemens, Michigan, resulted
In Roby being selected as tho battle
ground of the two heavwelgths.
it Is tho evident purpose to keep
both Corbett and McCoy In training
without giving the exact location of
tho fight and the advices revealing
tho arrangements In progress of con
summation have caused a great sen
sation In sporting circles.
CASE DROPPED
Alfred W. Jones, of Hilton, Will Not
Be Tried.
Dover. N. II. Sept. JO. The state
authorities today dropped tho rase
against Alfred W. Jones, of Milton,
who was tried at tho last term of su
preme court here on the charge of
murdering his mother, Sally W. Jones,
by poisoning.
The case was a noted one and was
first cslled to the attention of the pub
lic by the efforts of Alfrod W. Jones
and his sisters to have tho body of
their mother exhumed, on the ground
that the" woman's husband was respon-
Iblo for her death. An Investiga
tion by the state and county oHtclats
unearthed circumstantial evidence
agalnnt Alfred, and tho father was
not charged with the .ti line.
COMAL WILL TRY AGAIN.
Another Effort to Land Food
for
Starving Cubans
Washington, Sept. 20. Acting Sec
tetary Melklejohn Is making renewed
crforts to secure tho entrance of the
Comal with tho million rations on
board Into romo Cuban port. The
Comal Is now at Key West where she
was ordered when the Spanish author
ities refused to allow her to land her
cargo without the payment by the
t'nlted States of a duty to the amount
of $00,000 In gold. Unolllclal advices
having been received that tho port of
ItHhlu Hondo Is opened for relief with
out tho payment of duty, Secretary
Melklejohn Is now making an Inquiry
ns to whether the Comal relief sup
plies can bo landed.
It has been determined that the evac
uation of the Uland will take place
first In the west and move eastward,
as It Is believed that the relief for
the starving Cubans should be landed
In the west. Senor Quesada, of the
Cuban junta, saw Sccretaiy Melklejohn
today and represented tho Ouluins ns
being In n sad plight. He Is anxious
to have everything possible done for
thcin.
ITALIANS CELEBRATE.
Addresses Listened to in Music Hall
and a Picnic Followed in har
mony Garden Cause of the
Demonstration.
Though Italians at home and many
In this country have observed year
after year the twentieth day of Sep
tember with almost religious Intensity,
yesteiduy was the first time that the
Italians of this city have made any
concerted attempt to observe this "day
of days" in tho Italian calendar of
holidays. The Socleta dl Italia, of
which Contractor Frank Carluccl is
president, at ranged for tho affair and
invited the co-operation of the Prince
Victor Emmanuel and the Corana
D'ltnlla societies.
The members of the above societies
formed on Lackawanna avenue near
the Roma hotel about 1.30 o'clock and
marched about the central city streets.
There were about 300 men In the pa
rade, each marcher wealing a white
yachting cop The Roma band, of
Dunmoie, led the procession and played
Inspiring music. Peter Cardlello acted
as maishal, and nfter the parade nil
gathered at Music hall, where a public
meeting was held,
The platform was decoiated with the
national colors, the emblematic flags
of the several societies and the Italian
Hag. On the platform were seated
Italian Consul Fortunata Tlscar, Dr.
S. Vlllone, Rev. A. Monteleone. Presi
dent Frank Carluccl, of the Socleta dl
Italia; President Victor Sartor, of the
Victor Emmanuel society, and many
other prominent Italians. In the gal
lery were the ladles, tho band and
non-members of the several societies.
President Carlurcl acted ns chairman.
Introductory remarxs were made by
the chairman. Addresses were made
b Consul Tiscar, Dr. Vlllone, Rev,
Monteleone and others. Consul TIs
car's remarks were very eloquent and
elicited much applause. He spoke of
the meaning of the affair, the reason
why the "Italia" society arranged It,
and thanked the other societies for
their happy assistance. He referred to
the events which occurred on and
about Sept. 20, 1870, when Rome was
freed from temporal power, and later
on Oct. a, was made the new capital
of re-untted Italy.
In glowing terms he spoke of the
great Victoria Emmanuel II, who had
led the victorious army Into Home
tluough the breach at Porta Pla on
that memorable day. It was fitting
Indeed to commemorate such an event
and honor tho sacrifice of the brave
men who made such freedom possible.
In concluding, he paid a tribute to
this great country of America, its pres
ent success and leferred to the past
successes when independence was
fought for. The other speakers ad
dressed the gatheiing in much the
same strain.
This part of the commemoration fes
tivities being concluded, the societies
were again marshalled and proceeded
to Harmony Garden, wheie appropriate
exercises were held during the eve
ning. It Is Intended tliat hereafter on
each recurring Sept. 20 similar com
memoration exercises will be conduct
ed by the Italians of this city.

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within lteelf the germs of cer
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines) are usually the result of
Imperfect digestion of food; the result
of Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
docs not promptly and thoroughly
digest the food. Tho result Is a heavy,
sodden moss which ferments (the first
process of decay), poisoning tho blood,
making It thin, weak, and lacking In
red corpuscles; poisoning tho brain,
causing headaches and pain In the
eyes.
Bad digestion Irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very Important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Brlght's disease and diabetes.
And this Is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows Itself not
only In loss of appetite and flesh, but
In weak nerves and muddy complexion.
Tho great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start In life Is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fall to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive, acids (lac
tic and hydrochloric) mid peptogenlc
products; the most sensible remedy In
all cases of Indigestion Is to take after
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, because they supply In
a pleasant, harmless form all the ele
ments that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of tho
stomach.
They increase flesh, Insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eyo and clear
complexion, because all these result
only from wholesome food well di
gested. Neaily all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at 00 cents full sized
package or by mall by enclosing price
to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., but ask
your druggist first.
A little book on stomach diseases
mailed free. Address Stuart Co., Mar
shall, Mich.

THE CRY OF CORRUPTION,
When It Is Simmered Down
It
Means Nothing.
Colonel W. A. Stone, at Williams' Grove.
Our critics claim that the adminis
tration of the Republican party tn
Pennsylvania Is corrupt. Wherein and
In what particular Is it conuptV Inwhat
particular has tho Republican party
teen unmindful of the rights of tho
people of Pennsylvania? They took
a bankrupt state, forty million dol
lars In debt. They now exhibit It to
you with that Indebtedness reduced to
very little more than a million dollars,
and with tiie Etatc disbursing more
than half tho money received from
corporations among the counties of
the state, thus lifting the burdens of
the people. And In addition to that
It has taken oft your taxes.
This state has not been entirely un
der Democratic control Mnco wo came
Into possession In 1861. If the Repub
lican party Is to be charged with all
the mistakes and wrongs of Individ
uals, let our critics be fair, let them
be manly, let them be hone3t and give
the party credit for the good It has
done. But you hear no mention made
of the wise legislation enacted by tho
Republican party In Pennsylvania. Not
a dollar has been lost to the state In
all these years. Not a dollar collected
from lands of the state. Not a dollar
collected from trades, occupations, pro
fessions. Not a dollar collected from
horses and cattle; but collected almost
entirely from corporations, and more
than half returned to the counties of
the state. These wise laws, eo bene
ficial to tho people of our state, are
entirely incompatible with the purpo
ses of any man Influencing or control
ling tho party to loot the stale and
divert the funds.

Tell Me What You Eat
and I'll Tell You
What You Are."
The human ostrich. You'vo seen him
probably, in the booth at the fair or
circus or on tho platform of tho dime
museum. He has toughened his stom
ach to tho consistency of leather, and
lunches on broken bottles, tacks or
ten-penny nails with seeming Impun
ity. He doesn't live long, of course,
for ho sacrifices life .to earn a lazy
livelihood.
You would he nmnzed. nprhnnn tn Vie
told that you wero something like tho I
human ostrich,
your diet, and
volved.
It Is not necessary that you eat glass
and nails In order to resemble tills1
monstrosity. The man who plays the
part of the human ostrich Is an ex
ample of depraved appetite in Its most
extreme and exaggerated form. The
depraved appetite of the average can
didate for dyspepsia does not go far
ther than hot bread and biscuit, rich
pastries, highly seasoned dishes, and
excessively greasy foods. Add to this
Improper cooking, haste In eating, and
lack of proper rest after a meal, and
you have a condition very likely to re
sult In disease and suffering.
Let It be remembered that the solo
object of food lsnutritIon; nutrition
not for the body as a whole only, but
nutrition for tho varying needs of tho
separate parts of the body; for the
muscles, the nerves, the brain, the
blood. When the stomach is In a state
of healthy activity, Nature, by her re
markable processes, takes the food you
supply, and distributes its starches
and sugars, its salts and phosphates
according to the needs of the separate
organs of the body. When the stom
ach Is not In a state of healthy activ
ity, Nature does her best, but the va
rious dependent organs of tho body
are put on short rations. There Is not
nourishment enough to supply them
properly.
WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
A weakened stomach. A stomach In
capable of performing Its functions
fully. The liver and blood-making
glands work Imperfectly. The natural
result Is that the food Is imperfectly
digested and only partly assimilated
and the channels of life are choked
and stopped by waste and putrescent
matter. Some people know where tho
trouble Is. They locate It In the stom
ach, because they have pain there after
eating, an irregular craving for food,
or an appetite that eating does not
satisfy, Thero Is heaviness after a
meal, a feeling of undue fullness. It Is
hard to breathe, thero Is such a stuffy
feeling about the chest. There may bo
palpitation or Irregular action of the
heart and the sufferer Imagines ho has
heart disease. Perhaps the stomach
sours, and there are bitter ilslngs, and
belchlngs. These symptoms mark va
rious forms and stages of "weak stom
ach." They will not all be present In
every case or In tho earlier stages of
the disease. Any one of these symp
toms locates the trouble In the stom
ach and the digesttve nnd nutritive
functions, which are disturbed.
Quito often there Is no apparent con
nection between the stomach and the
symptoms of the disease. The victim
thinks It "liver trouble," heart fail
ure, or lung disease. There Is a dull
pain, perhaps In the back or the side.
The spine aches, sometimes "In spots"
and sometimes through Its whole
length. There may be a sharp stitch
or pain occasionally. Exercise makes
the limbs tremble and the heart beat
violently. Perhaps to some of theso
symptoms there Is added an obstinate,
stubborn cough.
WHAT IS THE MATTER NOW?
It Is another case of weak stomach.
But. that Is not where tho pain is.
Very likely not. But that Is where the
trouble is. The stomach has not been
able to properly feed the oigans de
pendent upon II. They are starving,
they aie weak, and they show their
weakness In the aches and pains that
afflict the various parts of the body.
What will set the stomach right? There
Is one remedy practically Infallible In
Its results and that one remedy Is Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
cures because It Is made to cure Just
the conditions of the stomach which
give rise to disease.
A COMMON SENSE VIEW.
If so many diseases begin In tho
stomach and nutritive Bystem, why
should not some one remedy be com
pounded, which by healing the stom
ach would necessarily euro the dis
eases of the organs dependent on It?
This was the great question which Dr.
R. V. Pierce set himself to answer.
Then followed a period of profound
study of the value of alterative and
tonic medicines.
The result was Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, a medicine for the
btomm.ii and the whole digestive and
nutritive system. The soundness of Dr.
Pierce's original theory, that diseases
which originate In the stomach muBt
be cured through tho stomach, has

Rev. C. L. Mundell, of Plncgrove, Gal

from a dreadful feeling and weakness,

btato and he said I had heart, Rtomach,
liver and kidney trouble. His treat
ment did mo no good. I tried different
kinds of patent medicines but got
worse all tho time; was so weak that
I could not walk any distance. If I
walked up hill or a little fast It seemed
ns though my heart would Jump out.
I had almost given up nil hope, and my
money was all gone. Was scarcely
able to make a living. Finally I Baw
an advertisement In one of the country
papers that for twenty-one one-cent
stamps Dr. Pierce Would send one of
his 'Common Sense Medical Advisers.'
So I sent and got one and began to
read concerning diseases like my own.
After consulting tho doctor himself, I
purchased at my nearest drug store a
bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, and a bottle of his 'Pleas
nnt Pellets.' This was In 1897 and now
I am In the enjoyment of good health
which I attribute to Dr. R. V. Pierce.
I am so glad of my health that I can
not say too much. I first return my
sincere thanks to Almighty God and
then to Doctor Pierce."
The above Is only a specimen case
taken at random from thousands.
WHY IT IS SO.
In view of the foregoing facts It Is
easy to explain why the "Golden Med
ical Discovery" Is the best blood puri
fying medicine. The stomach supplies
the blood. Draw pure water Into a
foul cup and If you drink It you drink
foul water. No matter how pure the
food, If the stomach Is foul you will
have foul blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery cleanses the blood
by cleaning tho stomach, Invigorating
the liver and setting the- blood making
glands at work.
Weak lungs are cured on the same
principle. Weak lungs are Inseparable
from a weak stomach. A weak stom
ach docs not always mean weak lungs,
but weak lungs always means a weak
stomach. The weak stomach means
lack of sufficient nutrition, or tho In
capacity of tho stomach to digest the
food and distribute tho nutriment to
repair tho waste and loss of the body.
The whole medical profession recog
nizes this fact. Their great prescrip
tion for weak lungs and consumption
Is a fattening food, condensed and as
similable which takes the form of cod
liver oil, cither In all Its original nastl
ness, or with Its offenslveness modified
In some emulsive preparation, The
theory Is sound enough. What the
body needs Is nourishment. If you
could nourish tho body up to the point
of aggression agalns't disease It would
protect Itself. Somehow cod liver oil
and Its preparations never seem to get
as far as the weak lungs. They fail
because It Is tho stomach that needs
healing. Let the lungs alone. If you
can cuie tho stomach, Invigorate the
liver and set the blood making glands
to manufacturing, and start the cur
rent of rich, red blood, throughout the
system, Nature will take care that It
does Its work of building up the body.
That Is tho basis of Dr. Pierce's cure
for weak lungs, tho condition which
by neglect or bad treatment becomes
consumption.
HOW IT WORKS.
How docs tho treatment work In
practice? Mr. Noel W. Orvln, of Lang
ley. Aiken Co.. S. C, finds that It
worked first rate In his case. Ho says:
"I was taken sick tn July last year,
and was not able to do uny kind of
work until November. I had beeen
coughing up small hard lumps for
nbout a year before I was taken down.
I then called on a doctorrwho attend
ed me for two months, and said that
one-half of my left lung was gone,
and advised me to leave my home
(Charleston, S. C) and go to the coun
try, but did not say what sort of dis
ease I had. I thought It was consump
tion, and wrote to you for advice; I
took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery which has done
me moro good than all the other med
icines I have ever taken,"
The doctor didn't say what was the
matter. But Mr Orvln "thought It was
ccnfcumptlon." No wonder he thought
S3, when the doctor told him one-half
of one lung was gone. But It does not
matter what the disease Is called, the
faet remains that Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has cured thousands
of such cases cases where there were
night-sweats, hacking cough, emacia
tion, hectic flush, labored breathing
add great weakness. Call the disease
what you please, "Oolden Medical Dis
covery" cures ninety-eight out of ev
er hundred such cases, These state
ments have a twofold claim on your
attention If you are a sufferer from

weak stomach, weak lungs, stubborn,
lingering cough, bronchitis, bleeding
lungs, or any of these kindred forms of
disease which, when neglected or lm-.
properly treated, lead to consumption.
WILL NOT INEBRIATE.
Thero Is one Important feature about
"Golden Medical Discovery" which
cannot bo too strongly emphasized. It
contains no alcohol, or whisky, no
opium or narcotics, neither sugar nor
syrup which so often disagree with
tho weak, dyspeptic stomach. With
out any of these things It preserves
Its medicinal qualities perfectly and
In ntiy climate. It does not create a
craving for Injurious stimulants or nar
cotic.
DON'T BE DECIEVED.
If you are convinced that Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is what you
need, do not allow any designing deal
er to palm off a substitute on you un
der the specious plea that It Is "Just
as good," It he has no respect for
your Judgment show him that you
have. Any dealer can obtain this great
standard remedy for you If you Insist
upon It. It nffords him n fair profit.
It Is his business tot supply what yji
ask for, and not to tirge some substi
tute on you for the sake of making a
larger profit. Your health Is of vastly
more consequence than his profit. Let
any substituting dealer understand
that.
There arc people everywhere who are
In Ill-health. Medicine has not helped
them. They arp out of heart and dis
couraged. Dr. Pierce Invites such to
write to him, freely and fully. After
careful consideration of the case a re
ply' Is quickly made containing such
Instructions and fatherly advice as will
prove of a greatest benefit. There Is
no charge for this consultation by
letter.
