Captain Jobo has been on sick leave for
several months, as ho was seriously
wounded In the chtirgo on San Juan Hill,
lie had.nn army badly Injured and his
left leg was frightfully shattered by
Mauser bullets. In speaking of that
great charge he Bald emphatically that If

could havo easily beaten back our forces
If they had kept their heads. His regi

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
Unable to Pind Work Thomas
Evans Commits Suicldo by
Slashing His Throat with
a Razor.
Thomas Evans, ot Olyphant, made a
determined erfort to end his life at his
homo yesterday morning nt fi.30 o'clock
by slashing his throat with a razor.
While his wife was preparing break
fast for her sons, she went to the cel
lar by an outside door. On her return
Kvan3 went Into the cellar, his wife
following him.
The door was locked against her,
nnd when she reached her husband by
tho stairway from inside ho was lying
on the floor in a pool of blood. A
physician was called and attended him.
Later he was removed to the Lacka
wanna hospital.
The large Jugular vein was not sev
ered, but the wound covers tho width
of tho man's throat, and is so deep that
little hopes of his recovery were at any
time entertained. He died nt 1 o'clock
this morning.
Evans was a middle aged man, and
had five children. He had been a mlno
employe, but had been Idle for two
years. Idleness made him morose and
prompted his action.
"RAG TIME SGSHUL."
Enjoyable Time Last Night in St.
Luke's Parish House.
The "Has Time Soshul" last night
at St. Luke's pnrlsh house was an un
qualified success. Many yountr women
were In costume. And such costumes!
Gingham aprons and sun bon
nets prevailed and there ver
unlimited "side curls," (tuulnt
handkerchiefs, mlts and other
paraphernalia popularly nupposed to be
the legacy of our great grandmothers.
It Is only Justice to say that no cos
tume, however bizarre, could disguise
the beauty ot the wearers. In not n
few cases It was distinctly becoming.
Among those who appeared thus ar
rayed were Miss Hazzard, Mrs. P. C.
Hand, Miss Keck, Miss Foote, Miss
Broadbent, Miss Todd. Miss Helen
Stevens, Miss Sancton, Miss Sherer,
Mrs. Pierce, Miss Morris, Miss Doro
thy Keck. Many of the men were
ulso oddly costumed.
A most pleasing musical programme
was given. Miss Sancton played a
piano solo, Miss Sherer sang a lovely
contralto number, accompanied by
Miss IMchmond, and responded to an
encore with a plantation song. Miss
Gertrude Sprague played a Benot
Fnntasie du Ballet with the utmost
brilliance of touch. Her violin work
is exceptionally clever nnd shows a
talent most unusuul In a young girl.
She was accompanied on the piano by
Miss Sprngue. Mr. Bunnell sang two
beautiful solos, one to a violin obllgato
by Miss Gertrude Sprague.
Mrs. F. C. Hand brought the house
down with her burlesque on an "opera
lady's" singing, not the least part of
the effect being due to her unique cos
tume. A committee consisting of Mrs. Rog
ers Israel, Mrs. Thomas Sprague and
others awarded the prizes for costumes
to Mrs. F. G. Hand, Miss Helen Stev
ens, Miss Victoria Broadbent and Mas
ter Donald Keck.
FRANKLINS HELD SWAY.

at tho firemen's fair. A very large
attendance of West Slders attested the
popularity of the veteran company.
They were escorted to tho fair by
the Nay Augs, Columblas und Eagles
and delegations from the Hook and
Ladder and Crystal companies. When
the Franklins marched Into tho ar
mory they went through the fancy drill
which Is performed each year at their
ball, and It evoked no end of enthu
siastic applause. The march was led
by Joseph Hall.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the children's carnival Satur

very Interesting event.

SUPREME COURT
MUST DECIDE
OPINIONS OP JUDGE3 RICE AND
SMITH.
Argument for a Supjrscdeas In tho
Councllmnnic Appeal Was Made
Yesterday Before tho Two Judges
at tho Homo of Judge Smith An
Appeal Will Do Taken Today to
the Supreme Court What City
Solicitor McGlnley Has to Say
About the Case.
A session of the superior court of
the state was held yesterday on the
porch ot tho pleasant home of Judge
I. P. Smith, at Green Ridge. Presi
dent Judgo C. 12. Ulce, of Wllkes-Barre,
end Judge Smith heard arguments on
the application for a supersedeas in the
matter of tho appeal of the select coun-
cllmeu of tho city from the decision of
the local court In Issuing a mandamus
to compel them to npprove of tho bond
of City Solicitor-elect A. A. Vosburg.
At tho hearing ex-Judge II. A.
Knapp represented the select council,
nnd James II. Torrey and Georgo II.
Horn appeared for A. A. Vosburg. City
Solicitor M. A. McGlnley was present
but Mr. Vosburg was not. Ex-Judgo
Knapp opened the argument. Ho re
viewed all of tho facts bearing upon
tho case up to date and said there
nro two very important questions In
the appeal. Tho first Is that under tho
plain terms of the law there is no va
cancy this year, and for that reason
the joint session was nugatory, null
and void. Tho second Is that even if
It should be decided there was a va
cancy, still Mr. Vosburg was not elect
ed. Ho did not have a majority of the
normal body of council. One member
of common council died. His successor
wns elected and two days before the
Joint scsssion ho took the oath of ofllec
before a notary public.
SHOULD DK COMMANDED.
He held that select council Is to be
commended for its action. If they ap
prove tho bond they make two city
solicitors, an evil which municipal au
thorities are doing right In trying to
avoid. Once upon it time Scranton
had two mayors and two chiefs of po
lice. Select council has a right to
have this case fully heard for future
guidance.
Mr. Torrey replied to Judgo Knapp.
Ho said tho title to olllce Is raised In
this case or it is not. If It Is tho
superior court has no Jurisdiction. If
it is there is no merit In granting a.
supersedeas and tying Mr. Vosburg's
hands for nearly a year. There is too
much defiance of court, ho said, by mu
nicipal authorities. They are not sat
isfied with the bond filed In tho appeal
to the superior court. The bond is ?300.
It should at leust bo enough to cover
one year's salary, which Is $2,000.
After consulting over the facts in
the cuse Judges nice nnd Smith decid
ed that the Miperlor court has no jur
isdiction In the case.
Mr. McGlnley left for Philadelphia
last night and today will file an appeal
with the supreme court. Hx-Judgc
Knapp will this morning serve notice
upon tho attorneys for Mr. Vosburg
that on Thursday they will ask the
court to hnv thi nppeal made a su
persedeas. Mr. McGlnley ?ald last
night:
.Mil. M'GINLKY'S POSITION'.
"Mr. Vosburg's attorneys have told
the court several times that they want
council to approve the bond that they
may be in shape to begin quo warranto
proceedings. If that Is all they want I
am perfectly willing to have the bond
approved and huve the courts decide
who Is legally entitled to tho olllce.
"Personally I have no desire to hold
an ofllco I am not entitled to but I be
lieve I have another year to serve as
city solicitor and 1 also believe that
Mr. Vosburg has not been elected. I
want the court to have an opportunity
ot passslng upon the full merits of the
caso and will interpose no obstacle
that will prevent It from so doing. Ex
Judge Knapp will this morning sug
gest to Mr. Vosburg's attorneys that
wo will offer no objection to the ap
proving ot tho bond if they merely
want to secure a standing to enable
them to bring quo warrranto proceed
ings. MATTER WAS ATTENDED TO.
Substitute Is Acting as Engineer for
tho Nay Augs.
When spoken to regarding Chief
Hlckey's uctlon in directing the con
troller to hold up Acting Chief Suy
dam's bills, Mayor Molr yesterday said:
"That thing offers no difficulty what
ever. Mr. Suydam Is not acting In a
dual capacity, as alleged. When ho
became acting chief ho detailed a man
to succeed him as engineer of the Nay
Aug company and the successor will
appear on the pay tolls In Mr. Suy
dam's pluc. This matter was thor
oughly canvassed before Mr. Suydam's
promotion."
Controller Howell has not yet ar
rived nt a decision In the matter. Un
til he has all bills contracted by Mr.
Suydam are held In nbeyance.

REMEDY FOR INSOMNIA,
Bound and Refreshing: Sleep follow the fia
ul Simple Remedy.
Of all tho Ills to which human flesh Is
heir, perhaps the most wearing and
miserable Is that Inability to sleep,
which doctors calts Insomnia. Sleep Is
moro necessary than food. A man
would perish from want of sleep sooner
than from lack of food.
It becomes, then, a matter of tho
deepest Importance to know of some
simple remedy which will seal our eyes
In Bweet forgetfulness. Such an agent
has becen discovered. It Is needless to
reproduce the letters, letters which
come in hundreds, but wo may mention
the case of a lady In Massachusetts,
who for six long years suffered from
nervous prostration and from Insom
nia. Tho most famous doctors tried, and
tried In vain, to bring refreshing sleep
to her tired faculties until at last, un
der the advice of her physician, for
sho was a strict temperance woman,
she tried Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
and now r.he sleeps ns calmly and as
soundly ns a little child.
The letter ends with the following:
"While Mrs. Chase has always been
staunch In her temperance principles
and consistent In practice, she has no
hesitation In recommending to Invalids,
who need a gentle stimulant, Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey."
THE FACTS IN THE CASE.
Explanation of the Terms and Con
ditions of the Three-Year
Repair of Repairs
Contract-
The three-year rcpalr-of-repalrs con
tract with the Barber Asphalt com
pany about which such a senseless ado
Is being made by tho gallery-playing
press, has no connection whatever with
tho ten-year contract at present un
der way.
Tho truth of the matter Is simply
this: Street Commissioner Dunning
wanted to repair tho asphalt paved
streets that wero out of bond, and
recommended to councils that Instead
of contracting with some company to
keep these streets In repair for a num
ber ot years that tho bad spots alone
should bo repaired and that the com
pany doing the work should ho paid so
much a square yard for the actual
number of yards of repairs It made.
This plan was approved by coun
cils nnd the Barber company was en
gaged to do the work. Street Com
missioner Dunning designated tho
spots that In his judgment needed
repairing and the Barber company
repaired them. WIipu tho patching
was completed the street com
missioner and city engineer measured
up the number of yards of repairs made
and paid the company accordingly. The
cost of tho patching amounted to $11,
000. The Barber company gave a bond
to keep these patches In repair for
three years.
Genernl Manager Griffiths, of the
Harbor company, says that not a sin
gle yard ot those repairs Is In need of
re-repalring. nnd challenges anyone to
prove the contrary. It stands to rea
son, it might be added, that asphalt
with all Us real or alleged faults will
hardly wear out In a year's time, and
these repairs have n"t been down quite
a year.
MADE A HIT IN PITTSTON.
Elk Minstrels Had a Crowded and
Enthusiastic House.
The Elks' minstrels mnde a big hit

The programme as rendered here was

was added a solo by Inez Mecusker,
who, It will be remembered, was the
soloist with Kousa's band.
The minstrels were nccompanled to
PIttston by Bauer's band and about
"00 members of the lodge. They par
aded at 4 o'clock In the afternoon and
were royally entertained before und
after the performance by the PIttston
Elks. The trip to PIttston was mado
In a special train over the Erie nnd

An Immense Crowd of People
went through the big bankrupt stock
of "Beldleman tho nookmnn" at Jonas

say that no such selling has ever been

by the hundreds of volumes that wero
sold. Tho sale goes on today and ev
ery day until the big stock is sold. To
