HER INJURIES
PROVED FATAL
MISS IDA BRYANT DIED YES
TERDAY MORNING.
Sho Was Injurod in tho Accident nt
tho Carbon Stroot Crossing on tho
Night of Friday, Decembor 23.
It Was Thought, Until a Week
Ago, That Sho Would Recover.
Blood Poison Set in nnd Death
Resulted Funeral Will Bo Hold
Tuesday.
MIbs Ida Hrynnt, who was so serious
ly Injured In tho Carbon street cross
ing accident, Friday, Dec. 23, died yes
terday morning, at 7.'J5 o'clock nt tho
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.
L. Drynnt, of Theodore street.
Miss Bryant's Injuries conslCd of a
badly lacerated arm, crushed feet and
bruises and cuts on almost every part
of her body. None of the Injuries woro
of tliomrelves of a fatal nature and It
was hoped until about a week ago that
she would recover. Blood poisoning
had, however, set In, lockjaw resulted
and a terrible death came as a climax
to her awful suffering.
She was 22 years of ago and a dress
maker by occupation. She was born In
Indianapolis, Ind., and for a time re
sided with her parents In Bethany,
Wayne county.
The funeral will take place from the
home Tuesday afternoon nt 2 o'clock
p. m. Hev. C. M. Ginin, D. T., Rev.
O. C. Lyman and Rev. W. a. Wat
kins will conduct the services. Inter
ment will be made In Forest Hill.
Thursday afternoon O'Brien & Kelly
filed a dnmnge suit In Miss Bryant's
name against the Scranton Railway
company and the Delaware and Hud
son Canal company. Had she lived to
prosecute tho suit she undoubtedly
would have been awarded heavy dam
ages. As It is now, the companies can
only be mnde liable to the young lndy's
parents for the cost of caring for her
during tho time she was suffering from
the Injuries, and for the lo3s of her
companionship.
INVITATION TO REV. FIERCE
Asked to Deliver a Course of Lectures
at Los Angeles, Cal.
The pastor of the Penn Avenue Bap
tist church has for tho second time
been Invited to deliver a course of lec
tures at the Mid-Winter Assembly nnd
School of Methods of the Epworth
leagues of the Pacific coast. Tho ex
ecutive committee urgently request Mr.
Pierce to givo paven or eight addresses
duilng their convention, to be held in
Los Angeles, California, next Febru
ary, 21 to 24. The convention has rep
resentatives from all of the Epworth
leagues on the Pacific coast and west
of the Rockies.
It is doubtful that Mr. Pierce will
accept the Invitation In consequence
of the large number of sick of the con
gregation, and other calls for special
pastoral ministries nt this time. He
feels that the present work of the
church Is progressing in such a marked
degree that it might be unwise for him
to be absent for the length of time the
western trip would requite.
PLUMBERS' CONVENTION.
Exteusive Arrangements Being Mado
for Entertaining Dolegates.
The Scranton branch of the Master
Plumbers' association Is making ex
tensive preparations for the entertain
ment of tlie delegates to the state
master plumbers' convention, which

16. A banquet and sight-seeing tours
are among the means of entertainment
being arranged for.
Over one hundred and fifty delegates
from all over the state are expected to
be in attendance. Carpenters' hall,
Wyoming avenue, and the Knights of
Columbua rooms in the same building
are to bo used for the sessions of the
convention.
Frank P. Blythe, of Pittsburg, Is
president of the state association;'
James Doyle, of this city. Is first vice
president, and Louis S. Barnes, of
Philadelphia, Is secretary.
What Is Dr. Alexander's Lung
Healer ?
It is a remedy put up and compound
ed, being a direct copy of a favorite
prescription used by a celebrated phy
sician and specialist for over twenty
years, for lung and throat troubles.
It is guaranteed to do all that It claim
ed for it. It Is not a "cure all," but
It will certainly relieve all lung di
seases, cure coughs, colds and bron
chitis, prevent tho grip, so common
now, pneumonia nnd consumption by
its timely action on tho sensitive lung.
Thousands of bottles were sold last
year and thousands of souls baved
from an early grave by its use. Free
samples are being freely distributed
from houee to houso during tho week.
Ty It, you will not be deceived.
Vote for John J. Keegan for delegate,

JURY IS STILL DEADLOCKED
No Word Roceivod from Thorn Dur
ing All of Yesterday.
Not a word was heard yesterday
from the deadlocked Joyce-City of
Scranton Jury. They made no request
to bo discharged and the court showed
no Indication of any Intention of call
ing them In. Judge Archbald.who pre
sided over the trial of the case, when
nsked If ho proposed to let the Jury
light It out, unld: "They may as well
settle It as any other Jury." This
would tend lo lndlcnto that tho Judge
will keep them together until they
agree. Up to adlournlng- time, yester
day, tho Jury had been out fifty-three
hours.
E. S. Williams bad no cause to com
plain of the action of the Jury in his
case ncalnst John A. Mcars. lie sued
for $293.81. The Jury yesterday morn
ing came In with a verdict In his favor
for $313.03. By what process of reason
ing they arrived at this figure does not
develop. It Is likely that the defenso
will ask for a modification of tho ver
dict. In the case of the Scranton Knitting
company ugnlnst John J. Howley, the
Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff
In the sum of J 10.42.
GUNSTER FIXES LIMIT.
West Ridge Coal Company Must Re
move Its Fan Houso and En
gines Not Later,, Than
July 20, 1800.
July 20, JS!9, was yesterday fixed by
Judge Gunster as the limit of time In
which tho West Itldge Coal company
must comply with the mandate of the
supreme court, directing it to remove
its mine machinery and other Improve
ments from tho three-ncre plot in the
F.lectrlc City Land nnd Improvement
company's tract In Providence.
The land company purchased the sur
face of the tract from tho Von Storch
estate. The West Ridge company
leased the coal in the bottom veins,
tho Delawnre and Hudson company
having secured control of the upper
veln3. The coal company purchases
three acres of the surface and despite
a clause In the deed which directly
forbade It, tho coal company proceeded
to sink a shaft and erect and maintain
a fan house, and other mine buildings
on the plot.
The land company applied for an In
junction in the local courts in June,
1S93, to restrain the coal company from
piocoeding with tho offensive opera
tions. The Injunction was refused, but
the suDieme court In October last re
versed the lower court awarded the
Injunction and decreed that the coal
company should forthwith ceoso oper
ating the shaft and remove the surface
buildings. Instead of doing this, how
ever, the coal company continued Us
mining operations and came Into court
with a petition for n modification of the
supreme court decree whereby the pe
titioner would be granted reasonable
time for making such changes as were
neceEsnry to comply with the Injunc
tion order.
In support of the petition It was ar
gued that If the shaft was abandoned
nt once the gas and water would ac
cumulate and not only damage tho pe
titioners' workings, but also the work
ings of the Delaware and Hudson com
pany In the upper veins which are con
nected In various ways with the West
Ridge workings. The danger that tho
workmen of the Delawnre and Hudson
compnny would be subjected to was
also put forward as nn argument In
support of the petition.
The land compnny opposes the modi
fication on the ground that it was not
made In good faith; that the coal com
pany could have made the necessary
changes without any delay and that
the petition for the modification was
nothing more or less than a. ruse to
fortify ngalnst a possible prosecution
for contempt of court.
Judge Gunster.however. believes that
It would be unjust to enforce immedi
ate compliance with the cuiprcme
court's mandate and gives the coal
compnny until Julv 20, ISW, to make
the changes, providing it files n bond
In the sum of $6,000 to Indemnify tho
land company for damages.
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Delegates to Monday's City Conven
tion to Be Selected Today.
Democratic primaries will be held In
the city districts today between 4 and
7 o'clock p. m., to select delegates to
Monday's convention. In nearly every
ward there i a stiff fight on between
the representatives ot the leading
mayoralty candidates, Hon. John K.
Roche and T. J, Jennings, and In a
number of wards a three-cornered con
test is In progress, with 'P. J. Nealls'
men, or free lance would-be delegates
as the third corner.
Yesterday brought forth no new de
velopments. There was a rumor afloat
to the effect that there was a move
ment to make Colonel Herman Os
thaus the mayoralty candidate and Mr.
Roche tho candidate for treasurer, but
the Roche men, when questioned con
cerning It, pooh-poohed the Idea.
The fact that Mr. Roche and Mr. Jen
nings used especial rare to select as
their candidates for delegates men on
whom they could place the greatest re
liance, makes It more than likely that
any ticket having anybody else as can
didate for mayor will win but little
consideration In the convention.
Up to yesterday, E. J. Robinson, who
is most frequently mentioned for the
treasurershln nomination, had not In
dicated that he would accept a place
on the ticket. O. R. Pitcher. W. A.
Wilcox and Esdras Howell still con
tinue to be talked of for the nomina
tion for controller. The scramble which
marked the fight for the aspessorshlp
nomination on the Republican side Is
totally lacking nmong tho Democrats.
In such of the odd numbered wards
as have not yet held caucuses, nomi
nations will be made for common coun
cil and ward nnd district offices.
AN APPEAL FOR AID.
Will Be Issued in the Interest of tho
Y. M. C. A. Tent.
In another column will be found an
article from Tho Tribune's correspond
ent at Camp MacKenzle, which shows
the great necessity of supporting the
Young Men's Christian association tent
at that place.
The matter has for somo time past
been receiving the attention of the offi
cers of the local Young Men's Chrlstlnn
association, and a commltteo has been
appointed consisting of Colonel F. ti.
Hitchcock, Colonel E. H. Ripple and
George G, Mahy. general secretary of
the local association, to arrange tor
subscriptions to entry on the work. It
Is likely that an appeal for aid will be
Issued, which will be addressed par
ticularly to the friends of the mem
bers of tho Thirteenth recipient

RATTLESNAKE MAN DEAD.
Old John C. Geor Traded in Reptiles
and Had a Cure for Biteo.
John C. Goer, by profession a catcher
and tamer of rattlesnakes and the dis
coverer of nn alleged Infallible cure
for the bites of poisonous1 reptiles, has
Just died in Pike county. He was
eighty-five years old.
In his early years Geer was a Dela
ware river raftsmnn. He lived In a
wild and mountainous part of Sullivan
county, where rattlesnake dens were
many, and from boyhood It was his
delight to make raids on them In the
early spring, when the first warm days
caused tho snakes to crnwi out on tho
ledges to sun themselves.
Later, he found It a profitable busi
ness to extract the oil from tho snakes
nnd sell It to the druggists for medicl
nnl purposes. He also made a business
of catchlns the snakes alive, and for
years found a demand for all he could
capture and ship to the New York
market. At one time ho shipped sixty
four rattlers In a dry goods box to
Prof. Worth's museum In New York
city. One of them bit the professor on
the thumb. Ho was taken to the
Chambers street hospital, where he re
mained six weeks. He came out with
his life, but minus a thumb.
In the last few years Goer's business
of shipping rattlers was broken up.
The shipments became bo common that
tho trainmen objected strongly to
handling the strong boxes In which the
snakes were confined, being fearful of
the result In case of accident. Their
remonstrances brought about an order
for the agent to refuse to receive the
reptiles, and, although Goer protested
vigorously and offered to give bonds
to cure, free of charge, any one bitten
by one of his snakes, tho railroad offic
ials refused to withdraw tho order.
Geer threatened to appeal to the Inter
state railroad commissioners, but final
ly gave up tho business In disgust. He
continued, however, to sell the olt,
skins and rattles of the snakes.
Once, with two assistants, he caught
thirty-two rattlesnakes, ranging from
three to five feet In length, In a day.
IN ALDERMAN HOWE'S COURT
Two Cases in Which Ho Was Called
Upon to Act Yesterday.
A. G. OllnskI, of Lackawanna ave
nue, was beforo Alderman Howe yes
terday, charged with defrauding F. K.
Dolan, of Franklin avenue, out ot a
S5.S0 board bill. Dolan alleged that
Olnlskl boarded with him a week and
then skipped out, taking his baggage
with him. The evidence did not sub
stantiate the claim that Olnlskl acted
fraudulently and tho alderman dis
missed the case.
A warrant was issued during the af
ternoon by Alderman Howe for the
arrest of John P. Williams, of Luzerne
street, on a charge of assault and bat
tery, preferred by a neighbor, Stanis
laus Polowskl. The latter alleges that
Williams attacked him and beat him
over the head with a dinner nail, in
flicting numerous cuts and bruises. An
officer was looking for Williams- last
night.

WIVES FOR NEEDY NOBLES.
How Matrimonial Matters Aro Ar
ranged in Oormany,
Berlin Correspondence, London Mail.
It is notorious that marriages are
mado in heaven, butto Judge from
facts brought to light by eoveral law
suits which have lately occupied Berlin
courts considerable assistance Is ren
dered by earthly Intermediaries of both
sexes.
It transpired in ono case Just settled
that a considerable business Is done In
Berlin by promoting marriages between
officers In tho army and rich Jewesses.
The Gorman nobility and upper classes
(the Junkers) are, In general, poor:
they are, however, very cliquey, and
very careful whom they admit Into tha
favored circle of their society.
Tho bulk of tho capital In Germany
is In the hands of Jews; Indeed, If the
truth were known, It would probably
Bhow that the present prosperous state
of trade and commerce In Germany Is
attributable rather to Jewish than to
purely German enterprise. This ap
plies, at any rate, to tho capital.
The Germans themselves almost ac
knowledge their fear of the superiority
of their fellow-citizens of Jewish ex
traction by carefully excluding them
from almost every position of political
influence. There Is, too, hardly one
Jew anions the officers of the German
army. Not that there Is anything in
German law or In that of anv tt the
German states to prevent a Jew be
coming nn officer the circumstance 13
entirely duo to the otneers themselves
and to the system of appointment to
vacancies In tho officers' corps.
It will be easily understood from this
that Jewel and Jewesses are not loold-d
on favorably in the "best society."
When there are officers wanting
money, which they can easily obtain by
marrying Jewish ladles who wish to
get Into "society," Intermediaries will
be found who will aid In bringing about
the necessary Introductions. When,
however, these Intermediaries do not
receive a sufficiently high "brokerage,
or they nro forgotten In the subsequent
happiness, the public learns Interesting
details.
The most recent case huj, been ot
peculiar Interest, as one of the mar
ried parties, besides being an aristocrat
and a prominent political personage, is
the proprietor of an extensively read
Berlin newspaper. Some time ago the
following advertisement, which is a
sample of what are published every
day In the leading German newspapers,
appeared in a Berlin paper:
"An aristocrat of the old nobility,
forty years old, of agreeable, distin
guished appearance, of scanty means,
though absolutely free from debts,
wishes to marry a lady possessing a
large fortune.
A marriage agent answered this ad
vertisement and a contract was drawn
up, by virtue of which the agent was to
receive 5 per cent, of the fortune
brought by the lady if the advertiser, a
count, found a wife through his In
strumentality. The count was put Into
communication with several wealthy
ladies, but after a time he Informed
the agent that he had reconsidered and
Intended to remain single. The agent
accepted a small fee for out-of-oocket
expenses, nnd considered the matter
closed.
Shortly afterward, however, ha heard
that the count had married ons of tho
ladles he had Introduced, and forthwith
claimed hl3 percentage.
Again the count tried to evade ex
pense by giving the lady's dowry as
less than it really was. The agent dis
covered the truth, and, as the count re
fused to pay, the matter was brought
before the court. After passing the
lower Instances the case has now ben
thrown out by the supreme court of
Judicature, on the ground that pay
ment of fees for promoting a marriage
cannot be enforced by Prussian law.
That this mode of obtaining a part
ner for life Is largely practiced Is also
proved by the fact that a newspaper
devoted entirely to the Interests of tho
business has for a long time been Is
sued weekly In Berlin.
