ROGERS WAS INSANE. Ended His Lite By Hanging Him self in the Hillside Home. He weaves n Wife nnd Two Children. Miner Rogers, an insane patient at the Hllllsldo Home, committed suicide yesterday morning by hanging him self with strips made of a bed sheet. News that he was u father Impelled him to the deed. Rogers was thirty-one years of ngo nnd a resident of Dunmoro. Insanity Is hereditary in his family, it is said, and In August last It developed In him In the form of a religious mania. He was despondent rather than violent nnd was not regarded ns a dangerous patient. "Wednesday his wife gave birth to their second child and when news of It was brought to him he became unus ually morose and gave every evidence of being deeply affected. His condition became such that the night nurses treated him with especial care. At 4.30 o'clock a. m. a nurse brought him a glass of water which he drank. Half and hour later when the day watchman was making his first rounds he found Rogers hanging from the steam pipe. He had made a rope by tearing his bed sheet into strips and tying the pieces together. It Is supposed he stood on the bed before tying the rope around his neck. Tboro wero two other patients In the rooms, but neither of them were awak ened by Rogers' net. The remains are still at the home awaiting Coroner Longstreet's direc tions. He will go there this morning to conduct an Inquest. This is the first happening of this kind nt the home In six years. POLITICAL JOTTINGS. Tho executive committee, ot the Repun. llcnn county committee will hold n meet ing tomorrow nfternoon in tho Central Republican club rooms, at which the county committee will be completed. Campaign headquarters have been opened at the Central club rooms, on Washing ton nvenue, and after Saturday's meet ing the work of tho campaign will bo prosecuted aggressively. Tho sub-committee of the Democratic county commltteo which was appointed to secure suitable rooms tor campaign headquarters has about closed negotia tions for apartments In tho Guernsey building, on Washington avenue. Early next week the county committee will bo called together and the Guernsey or son e other suitable building decided upon. Col onel Fltzslmmons. the county chairman, said yesterday that headquarters will be opened the latter end of next week, and the work of the campaign ncttvely en tered upon. George Jenlti, the party's candidate for governor, has promised to deliver at least one. uid po'-slhlv two, soeeches In this county bolore Die cam paign Is over.

No organs of tho body aro moro delicate or more sensitive than the kidneys. When symp toms of disease appear in them not a moment is to bo lost if health is to bo restored. Tho best way to treat the kidneys is through tho blood, cleansing it from tho poison ous matter which is usually at tho bottom of kidney complaints. For this purpose there is no remedy equal to Ajjers "For many years I have been a constant sufferer from kidney trouble, and have tried a number of largely advertised kidney cures without benefit. At last a friend &d vid me to try Ayer's Sargaparilla. The use of eicrht bottles of this remedy entirely cured my malady." Mary Milleu, 1233 WUUVWA UHCVt, VIWMM, ,, The HMneys WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH GLOVE CONTEST COMMON COUNCIL DECIDES BOXING IS LEGITIMATE. Resolution Brings I'ortli Opinion That Sport Is Within tho Law. Mr! Keller's Asphalt Repair Orcll fnnnce Has the Approvnl of the City Solicitor nnd Passes Third Rend ingIs Now Before Select Council. Members Take a Fow Cracks nt Board of Revision and Appeal. Tho boxing contest to be decided in Music hull next Monday night between Jim Judge, the local favorite, tmd "Mysterious Hilly" Smith, of Hoston, the world's welterweight champion, caused quite a stir In common council last night. A resolution drafted by President Molr was Introduced by Mr, Jackson, of tho Thirteenth wurd, di recting an Inquiry Into tho legality of tho sport, hut after a spirited bit of procedure the resolution was sent to oblivion. Tho members llnnlly reached the conclusion that the law was not being violated and that councils had no province In the mntter. Following was tho resolution: AVhereas serious allegations have been made that prlzo lighting Is practiced without hlndranco in this rlty, that reg ular stakes are posted and lought lor, nnd tho consequent slde-bettlng, tho same. If true, being detrimental to the good morals of our city; therctoro be It Resolved, That this matter bo referred to our committee on vice and Immorality to Inquire Into the same, and If tho laws nro systematically broken and evaded that they report to this council the Incts, so that steps may bo taken to enforce tho laws against prlzo lighting. The introduction of the- resolution caused quite a commotion among the members, particularly so In view of the fact that many of them, including President Molr, attend the bouts nnd arc prominent admirers of tho manly nrt. After the reading of the resolu tion several nf the members were on their feet. President Molr recognized Mr. Grler, who offered a motion to tnblo tho measure. The motion was lost by the following vote of 7 to 10: Ayes Grler, Gllroy, Monohun. I". E. Wenzel, Coleman, T. Morris, Cuslrk. Nays M. Morris, Zlzleman. E. F. Wen Ml. Wlrth. Jackson, Oliver, Keller, Shcrl dan, Norton, Molr. VIADUCT ORDINANCE. Later In tho session Mr. Sheridan said ho had voted under misinforma tion In favor of sending tho resolution to committee. He moved for reconsid eration and was seconded by E. .F. Wenzel, also one of the number who had voted to refer. The motion pre vailed without a dissenting vote nnd Messrs. Walker and Coleman moved that action on the resolution be In definitely postponed. The reason for the change of senti ment appeared In n statement made by i-resiQcni .ioir. iio said lie Had un proved the resolution for only the pur pose of having it olllclally determined that councils had nothing to do In the premises, as no city law was being violated. Ho had heard, ho said, that councils were being taken to task for permitting glove contests. Personally he liked to see a good boxing bout. Those conducted by the American Sporting club In Music Hull, he thought, wero orderly and legitimate. He was not In favor of suppressing them; In fact, he did not believe councils had any more business to interfere than had any individual citizen and It was Improbable that there was any ground for Interference by an Individual, as ho could not see that even a state law was being violated. Others expressed the snme view and when the motion to Indcllnitely post pone action wns finally put, It was car ried unanimously. Mr. Keller's ordinance for repairing tho asphalt pavements passed third reading and is now before select coun cil. Attached to the measure Is a com munication from the city solicitor at testing Its legality. The city solicitor's opinion was dated yesterday nnd was read last night, as follows; T have made a careful examlna'lon ot ordinance lllo of common council, No, a;, lM'S, "providing for the annual and neces sary repair of streets not paved with asphalt," and am ot the opinion It is u legal measure. I will send you a communication at an early dato stating my reasons lor this conclusion. ACTION RECONSIDERED. Mr. Oliver Introduced another West I.ackawunna avenue viaduct resolution directing the mayor, city controller and city engineer to secure options on the property on the south side of the ave nue between Seventh and Ninth street. Immediate action was opposed bocuus" the resolution did not indlcutcjlio ob ject of securing such options. Conse quently the effort to hnvc the resolu tion adopted lulled and It was referred to the committee on streets and bridges. There was a long wrangle nnd some criticism of the board of revision and appeal suggested by a petition of s-omo one to be exonerated from u dog tax. The petitioner had been referred by the board to the mayor before whom he had made allldavlt and later referred by the board to the councils. When the petition was read last night many of the members took a crack at the board which wus roundly accused of nut performing its duties. motion by Mr. Keller seconded by Mr. uner prevnlleil to refer the peti tion back to the board for action nnd to have appointed a special committee to seo If the board Is doing Its duty. Messrs. Keller, Glltoy and Oliver were appointed on tho committee. Proposals for pnvin? Hyde Park ave nue with vitrified brick between Divi sion and Lafayette streets were re ceived from Menrs & Flynn, tho Alcat rnz Paving company, per W. V.

Serious Results Sometimes Eollow Its Excosslvo Use. Common soda Is all right In Its place nnd Indispensable In the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but It was nevct Intended for a medicine, and peoplo who use It ns such will some day regret It. Wo refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people prac tice almost dully, nnd one which Is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives temporary relief and In the end tin? stomach trouble gelt, worse and wors . The soda nets as n mechanical lriit nnt to tho walls of the stomach nnd bowels nnd crises nro on record where It accumulated In the Intestines, caus ing death by liilktmniatlon or periton itis. Dr. llniinmlson recommends as the infest nnd surest cure for oitr stomach (acid dyspepsia) nil excellent prepara tion sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very pleasnnt to taste and contain the natural adds, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, nnd when taken after meals they digest tho food perfectly and promptly before It has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood nnd nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he Invariably u.es Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets In all cases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digest ing the food they create n healthy ap petite, increase llesh nnd strengthen the action of the heart nnd liver. They nro not n cathartic, but Intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will bo found reliable In nny sto mach trouble except cuncer of the stomach.

WAS A FIELD DAY FOR PLAINTIFFS SECURED VERDICTS IN FOUR DIFFERENT CASES. Mrs. Smith Awarded a Verdict of S877.50 Against tho Jcrmyn and Rushbrook Water Company Mary C. Duffy Wins In the Ejectment Suit Against Her Aunt Travis Defeats Ackcrmnn and Another Verdict by Default Is Entered AgniuBt Adolph Breschel. Four verdicts for the plaintiff wns yesterday's record of Jury midluzs In common pleas. In tho case of Margaret J. Smith against the Jermyn and Hush brook Witter company the plaintiff was awarded $877.r.0, over four times the amount of tho arbitrators' award from which thn appeal was taken. It wns a suit for damages caused by the com pany entering upon the defendant'! land with a water conduit, destroying, among other things, a natural spring that furnished the whole water supply for Mrs. Smith's farm. The company admitted Its liability and the only ques tion for the Jury was the extent of the damage. The other three plaintiff's victories were In the Duffy ejectment suit; tho casu of Travis ugalnst Ackcrman, for the possession of a piano, nnd the as sumpsit suit of the K. P. Dodge Manu facturing company against Adolph Breschel. Tho verdict In the last named case was entered by default, no one appearing for the defense. The no tion was for the recovery of $193.15 for a bill of goods. In court room No. L', before Judge Gunstor, Owen Collins, of Providence, Is peeking to recover $3,000 from the city for u permanent injury to his hip, caused, he alleges, by his leg slipping Into a hole in a culvert on Depot street. HON CULVKHT DID IT. Tho necldent occurred February IS. ISO". Ho and u pnrty of friends came down from Cnrbondnle on the 11.20 p. m. Delaware and Hudson train. They alighted at the Providence station and started over Depot street towards their homes In Providence. Extending diag onally across Depot street, Just off the railroad crossing. Is a box culvert, an extension of which forms part of the sidewalk. A hole had been broken In the cover ing of the culvert. It Is alleged, and Into this Collins stepped. His hip wns so badly injured that he is even yet, when working, compelled to use a cane and to rest his left hand on his knee to take some of the weight off the In jured hip. He snys he has decreased in weight from ISO to 151 pounds since the Injury befell him. Doctors L. Wehlau, J. J. Sullivan and Reed Burns gave It as their opinion that Collins Is prob ably permanently Injured. The defense will be that there was no hole In the culvert, as alleged, and that Collins wns Intoxicated and slipped on the ice. It may also be shown that the city does not own or control the street. It never having been expressly accepted from the Gilbert estate, which laid out the plot embracing that street. Kx-Clty Solicitor I. H. Burns repre sents the plaintiff and City Solicitor M. A, McGlnley, the defense. The plain tiff's side hns not yet completed Its tes timony. The Keystone Brewing company, of Dunmoro, was defendant In a trespass suit that was called before Jude Arch bald, In the main court room. The plaintiff Is Volzlof Koslask, of Wayne avenue. His eight-year-old son had his leg fractured by being run over by one of the Brewing company's wagons, October 2, lS9fi. The accident occurred on West Market street, at Its Intersec tion with Wayne avenue, while the lad was walking on the crossing, it Is al leged. The plaintiff claims that thf driver of the wagon was watching some boys engaged in kicking a foot ball when the accident took place. It Is also alleged that the team was going at a full trot. DEFENDANT MAKES DENIAL. The defendant denies this story al most In toto. The driver, John Noon,, says that he was driving along at a moderate gait and at some distance below the crossing the boy ran in front of the wagon, between the horses and the front wheels. The plaintiff was making Its closing argument to the Jury when court ad journed. Vosburg ft Dawson represent Koslask, and E. C. Newcomb the Brew ing company.
