Tuesday thirty-two cases were dis
posed of.
Adnlph Webber, n man of llfty years
of iikc, was tried before Judge H. M.
Kdwards for having criminally as

Nicholas Young and Arthur Young,
two Carbondale boys whose mental
condition is not the best, nnd who have
a decided inclination for law breaking,
were arraigned for striking their moth
er, Mrs. Hannah Young, who seems to
have nbout as poor an intellect as her
unfortunate sons. Judge Kdwards has
frequently had the Young boys before
him and Is at a loss ns to what Is the
best method to pursue with reference
to them.
lie asked Mrs. Young If she would
not like to give her boys another
chance but she very sharply replied
lliat -she would do nothing of the kind.
The case went to trial and the boja
were convicted and sentenced by Judpw
Kdwards to pay fines of SI and costs.
.Vicholas. who is "1 years of age, has
been In jail three months and eleven
days and Arthur, who is eighteen, has
been confined for two months.
Dell Comstoek and John Ranks, col
ored, were tried before Judge Archbald
for stealing a revolver and watch from
the American house at Carbondale,
wheio they were employed. The evi
dence did not warrant a conviction nnd
a verdict of not guilty was directed
by the court.
James Thomas was arraigned on a
chargo of malicious mischief in con

Controller Howell Will Bo Requested
to Certify the Repair Contract nnd
When Ho Refuses, as He Un
doubtedly Will, a Mandamus Will
Be Asked to Compel Him to Sign.
Company Claims the Veto Was
Ineffective Confident of Success
nnd Preparing to Go to Work.
Today, it Is expeeted, the asphalt
repair matter will bo brought to a
head. The Barber Asphalt company
will ask the controller to sign the con
tract; the controller will refuse anil
then the Harbor company will go Into
court for a. writ of mandamus to com
pel him to sign It.
When the matter gets Into court the
question to be ndjudicated will lie
whether or not Mayor Ualley's veto
of the asphalt repair Item In the ap
propriation ordinance Is legal. The
company takes the stand that the veto
is not effective, as It was not returned
to councils for n review and as the
Item has stood llfteen days without
having being regularly vetoed It has
become operative.
City Controller Howell does not state
positively that he will not sign the
contract, but leaves It to be Inferred
that he will not. Ho simply wants
to protect himself and would feel eas
ier If he had an older of court to go
by.
That the asphalt company 1 very
confident of being right In this matter
Is attested by the fact that it has
thoroughly renovated Us plant and
made other expensive arrangements
for beginning work.
Manager West stated yesterday that
If there are no hindrances from outside,
the company will begin work on Mav

In a city like Scranton there must
be many hundreds of disease-stricken
mortals who, after having been
buoyed up by unfulfilled promises
made by unskilled or catch-penny
doctors for several years, have al
most resigned themselves to their
fate, and grown sick at heart in
despair.

physicians in this state that have had
moreexpeneiice or more thorough insisht
