Change in tho Yard at Coxton.
The summer will witness important
rhanses in the arrangement of the for
warding yard of the Lehigh Valley
railroad at Coxton. The mol note
wor.hv change will be the transfer of
the east-bound frelRht yard from the
extreme lower end to the extreme up
per md. at FallliiR Sprinps. The em
ply coal ears will heteafter be stored
at the lower end, and the shifting nnd
handling of loaded east-bound freight
ears will take place nt Falling Springs,
whcie the pole system of shlftlns will
be adopted. In order to shift freight at
Falling Springs, a rearrangement of the
tracks at thnt point will be necessary,
the main tracks being shifted nearer
to the mountain, and a long switch
constructed. Tho old lolls to be taken
off tho Mountain Cut-off will be used
for the new switches.
Vardmaster lit own says that the
changes will greatly facilitate the
handling of east-bound freight. With
the monster new engines now being in
troduced on the Cut-off, unusually
heavy trains will be run, and for this
reason longer nnd more convenient
HWltches aie needed to make up the
Iralns. Hence the transfer of the
freight yard to Falling Springs.
mWM&
&$3kti'W&&
When tho now arrangement takes ef
fect, which will bo In thno to meet tho
heavy fall trnUle, it Is tho Intention to
so arrange tho through east-hound
freight trains lit Coxton that they Can
be taken direct to Jersey City without
being made up anew at Mnhonlng and
other points down the road, as at pres
ent. Plttston Gazette.
Property is Accoptod.
The officers of the Wllkcs-liarre and
Wyoming Valley Traction company
have received olllclal notification that
the Now York syndicate which has held
an option to purchase a controlling In
terest In the stock of the company ut
$14 per share, upon condition that the
same terms be offered to nil stockhold
ers, have accepted the property.
For several weeks experts have been
going over the books nnd accounts of
the company to verify the reportH of
cnrnlnRS and expenses put forth by the
mnnaRement. They have reported that
they find the entile property in excel
lent condition nnd state that the road
bed nnd equipments have been kept up
to the highest standard; nlso that In
tlm roiinft nf eurnlnirs nil work that
should be eharRed to operation has been
so charged to a Rienter depree than Is
usually done. The buyers express
themselves as bcliiR highly pleased with
their purchase nnd nothing now re
mains but to make a foininl transfer
of the property, when payments to the
stockholders will be made. Wllkes

New Company in Charge.
The Hlue Itldge Coal company's In
terests. Including the colliery, coal
land and Morgan Store cnmpany.passed
Into the control of the Scranton Coal
company Thursday. The breaker nnd
Flore- will be abandoned. All tho coal
mined from the Ulue Hldgo will be
prepared at the Ontario breaker, owned
by the pmehalng company. The
change will throw a large number of
men nnd boys out of employment.
Stephen TUce, manager of the Morgan
store, will have the management of the
Riverside store. He will take the ma
jority of his olllce force with him.
Striko at an Avoca Mine.
About seventy miners of the Hollls
ter and Bowman mines at Avoca struck
Thursday for higher pay. The strike
affects about 200 employes. The min
ers have been getting $1.28 per cubic
yard, nnd claim that at this rate they
are unable to make a day's wages.
They say they are satisfied to work at
that into If the vein should become 3
feet thick. Hut as It Is now, most ot
the vein is rock.
The miners want $2 2.1 per yaid. The
operators have refused tho demand.
THIS AND THAT.
Teamsters and cab drivers will meet
nt Industrial hall, 40S Spruce street,
Saturday evening. ,
The employes of the ear shops of the
Delawore, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company were paid their
month's wages yesterday.
Electricians will meet at Hulhert's
hall Monday night nt S o'clock sharp.
The master plumbers held a meeting
Inst night In the RuildinR HxchanRO
rooms and transacted routine busi
ness. The employes nt the Scranton Axle
works, South Scranton, have asked the
management to grant them a Satur
day half holiday during the heated
.season. Superintendent McCoy will
place the matter before the board of
directors of the company nt Its next
meeting.
About forty miners employed at the
Jermyn mine, No. 1, went on striko
yesterday morning on account of some
difficulty with the docking boss, whose
name is Evans. As far as could be
learned, they were still ought last
night and no settlement of tho dlfllcul y
was In sight.
The squeeze at Schooley mine at
Plttston has subsided sufllclently to
warrant making nn effoit to start the
pumps In the fourteen-foot vein. Ma
chinists are now nt work repairing the
brenk3 made In the pipes by falls of
rock, while tlmbermen and rockmen are
endeavoring to strengthen the pillars In
tho vicinity of the main shaft.
LUCK FAVORED O'LEARY
"The Jewels of Hope'
Is there any sadder
or more pathetic spec
tacle in this world
than that of the
poor woman weigh
ed down with'
wretchedness aw
suflennj
who is at
last con
vinced in
her very
soul that
there is no
more hope
of healthy
happiness
on this
earth? Or
in. there on
tha other
hand any
more de
lightful and
inspiring picture than that of the same
woman when the spirit of renewed life
conies to her again and holds up before
her the jewels of hope, and the regal
garments of rejuvenated health ami
nappy complete womanhood?
"I bad been a sufferer lor more than one year
with severe depressing paiaa la my womb,"
says Mrs. Annie !,. Mathews, a lariv livtntr at

seeinod to have no life or energy, I wa always
in such misery,
"At times I suffered to much I thought that
death mold be better for mt I had tried doc
tor sd different kind of medicine but all
failed to do me any rood. I commenced to take
Dr. rltrce'i Favorite Prescription and olao hia
' Pellet,' and had only taken one bottle when
I felt much better. When I had taken four I
felt entirely well. 1 continued to take it and to
day I am la every way a well woman, and I have
found that life U worth. tiring, To all women
who suffer with any womb trouble I would rec

Another Instance of tho Bold Burg
lar's Good Fortune Related by
One of His Victims Booty
not yet Recovered.
Among those who called nt police
headquarters yesterday to have a look
at Hurglnr Dan O'I.eary was Edward
IV Ives, of 1530 Jefferson avenue, Dun
more, whose residence Is to be nd.lej
tothellst of those visited by tho ubiqui
tous tramp-thief,
"I want to see him nnd hnve him
pick the winner of the fight for me,
eald Mr. Ives. ' fie s certainly the
best guesser I hnve henid of. Luc!. T
AVell I should say so,"
"Three months ago my residence was
enteretl through a basement window
and a quantity of clothes and linen
goods stolen. Neighbors nil round us
wen1 receiving visits from the myster
ious nnd dnrlng thief and ns ho was
not llko lightning averse to striking tho
same place twice, I expended J63 on a
burglar alarm system, bought a Win
chester rlllo for $28 and a 3S-callbro
Colt's nrmy revolver for $12.
"I had the alarm connected with
every entrance to the houso from tho
coal hole In the cellar to the dormer
window In the attle and fixed "the busi
ness end ot It on the side of my bed.
"One window of my bed room com
mands a view of the field from which
Mr. Burglar would likely approach nnd
also overlooked the basement wlndiw
through which he hnd made his en
trance. I had tho lower sash planed
nnd oiled so that It would slide easily
and noiselessly nnd planting tho revol
ver on tho sill nnd tho rifle against
tho wall nearby, I well, to make tho
story short, one night I forgot to set
the alarm and I hope I never snr:d
another hundred dollars In burglar
protection If that same fellonv didn't
como through that very same window
and cany away a hag full of old
clothing, tnblo linen, towels anl the
like."
Mr. Ives was allowed to have a chat
with O'Leary and a pleasant confab
occurred. O'Leary Inquired with evi
dent interest as to where thu Ives house
was located and the date- of tho t'lir
f.la'.ts, but couM Mt rce)'' 'el any
thing definite roncernlng his visits
there. "It might mo," ho said In a
laconic manner. "I don't remember
about It though."
Chief Holding and Detective Molr
l.nd a number of chn'.c with O'I.eory
t'Ui"'ng tho day, but could not get him
to tell what he did wltn his plunder,
farther than thnt he eol.1 It to a man
whose address he did not know. He
pi sltlvely denied having traded any ot
It for drink.
At the hearing yosfrdav morning
O'heury said he was born In Wales nnd
came to this country at the age of sev
enteen. He denied having any rela
tions here, but It Is tllidcisto.il he bus
a brother or sister living on the South
Side. He Is 4G years of ago and was
never know to work.
Mayor Molr fixed his ball at Jl.OOo.
He will be kept at the police station
for u time before being sent to the
county Jail to give the police n chance
to work on him.

This is true of the man
'whose physical condition has
forced him to call upon his
nerves to make good the de
pletion of the rest of his sys
tem. The overdrawn busi
ness man is overdrawn Be
cause he lacks proper capital.
The capital of the physical
man is pure, wholesome, life
giving blood.
Make thia capital for yourself and do
not ovordraw. Tho best blood-giving
banker is Uood'a Sarsaparilla. It lends
nnd givea interest, too. You cannot
beat that. If your physical bank ac
count is low, see what this banker will
do for you. It never disapjioints.
Rheumatl9m-" A few bottles of riood's
Sarsaparilla entirely cured my sufferings
from rheumatism. Later on It stopped
dyspepsia from which I suffered Intensely
I can cat anything now," Wm, A. Hucki.cvi
341 Summer St., liast Hostou, Mass.
Scrofula-" When three months old our
baby Koy was covered with itching and
burning scrofula sores. The best physicians
failed to relieve. Hood's Sarsaparilla saved
his life us It made a permanent cure." Mug,
Lii.Lli: M. Fish, KilTt Sprlngport, Mich.
Stomach Trouble-"To years suffer
ing with stomach trouble made me weak,
run down, with severe headaches. I.ifo
was n burden to me until I took Hood's
Sarsaparilla which cured me. It makes my
children strong and heolthy." Mrs. M.
Bach, Cll 2d St., N. E., Minneapolis, Minn.
Indigestion "! now have a good ap
