Thu lmpoitimce of establishing an Isola tion hospital should be discussed and de manded by tho boaid and tho ieople, it Is true we havo no pat titular uso for such a pi ico but an epidemic comes Uko a thief in tho night, leaving death and desolation In its tracks. Such a hospital should bo and can be erected for 11 lew thousand dollars, and should be read to perform Its (unctions In times of mid, thus becoming a means of protection tr, tho community at large. Isolation Is the essential means of pre venting tho growth of contagious dis cuses. In most eases quarantining proves a failure; however vigilant we might be, we cannot entliely prevent Intercourse of persons living in Infected houses with others. In private houses It is Impossible to prevent tho obtaining of supplies and the Interchanging of portable substances which carries tho contagion. Quarantine, therefore, will not alone stamp out tho disease, it must bo isolation, and that cannot bo secured at tho patient's home, but must come through a hospital elected for that purpose It would be a grand thing for Scranton, If some benevolent citizen or otganlz itlon, would build a bathing house for the working population. The board of health would be glud to erect such an Institution, but the unuct timing would cost more money than the boaid would feel Justified In asking In tho form of an appropriation It is .1 rather curious phase of our won derful development that toda there should be no public baths In this city Prom experience in the larger cities and even In cities where the population Is no gre iter than our own, with the bath provided cheaplv for the people it lapld ly becomes populai. By promoting clean liness we promote health, wealth and hap piness.

About the middle of the sixties cer tain e o.il leases were executed between the plaintiffs, und Lai oe & Shiffer, pio vidlng foi the mining of coal fiom their hinds at Old Foi go a eeitain spee tiled sum to be paid for e.ieh ton "mlnei's weight " Subsequently the leases passed freim Lntoe & Shifter to John and Jo seph Jcrmvn, who have for veais eon ilue ted mining ofieiatloiiH undei them. It is contended lu the plaintiffs that the teim "miner's weight" means n ton of coal as It comes fiom the mine, while the deft ndants urgue that It means as much coil as a standard ton of the mtuketable at tide etui be etiaeted fiom. This makes a difference of fiom 700 to SOO pounds on each ton, and the defendants have been pacing rovultles on what the believe a ton "miner's weight" means The plaintiffs aver that this diffeienee of 700 oi SOO pounds a ton has given the plaintiff 200,000 tons on which they have paid no loj.alty. The lease also piovided that tho plain tiffs vveie to receive a certain amount of coal each yeai for their own use, but the plaintiffs eonlend that this provis ion of the lease has not been lived up to by the defendants.
