NEW CATHOLIC DIOCESE.
Vicar General Garvey, of Pittston,
Hinted at as New Bishop.
It was decided nt the last meeting of
bishops to form a new Catholic diocese
In this state owing to the largely In
creasing Catholic population and the
consequent inctease in the duties of
several of the heads of existing f&
ceses. The new diocese will be formed from
a number of tho parishes now under
the urlsdlctlon of the bishops of Pitts
burg nnd Harii.sbuig. It will comprise
the counties of Cambria, Huntington,
Somerset, Bedford, Blair, Centre, Clin
ton and Fulton, with tho city of Al
toona ns the seat of the new bishop.
Speculation Is rife as to who tho new
head of the diocese will be. Among
those mentioned as the probable new
bishop Is Very Rev. Eugene Ganey
of Pittston, the vicar general of this
diocese.

BONDHOLDERS ASK
FOR A RECEIVER
CARBONDALE TRACTION CO. DE
FAULTS ON ITS INTEREST.
Real Estato Trust Company of Phila
delphia Acting for Itsolf and Hold
ers of $200,000 Worth of Bonds
Petition tho Lackawanna County
Court to Appoint n Receiver to
Tnko Charge of tho Road nnd Man
age Its Operation Other Doings
of a Day About tho Court House.
Suit waB begun yesterday by tho
Real l'state Trust company of Phila
delphia to have a receiver appointed
for the Carbondalo Traction compan-.
The petition was argued by tho titwt
company's president, Frank K, Klpple,
nnd presented by Wlllard, Warren and
Knap p.
Tho petition recites that on July 30,
1S92 before consolidating with the Cnr
bondale Traction company, tho Forest
City Passenger Railway company gavo
a deed of trust to the Central Trust
company of New York to secu.' an
Issue of $150,000 worth of first mortgage
bonds. The consolidation was effected
March E, 1800, and on June 1 following
the consolidated company Issued C per
cent, consolidated mortgage gold bonds
In the sum of J4G0.000 anil gave a deed
of trust to secure tho same to the Real
l'state Trust company of Philadelphia,
the plaintiff In the present ense.
Of this consolidated Issue the sum
of $150,000 was set nsldo to retire the
$150,000 first mortgage bonds Issued by
tho Forest City Passenger Railway
company. The Interest on the remain
ing $300,000 worth of bonds was pay
able semi-annual and If It remained
unpaid for six months the trust com
pany, with the sanction of GO per cent,
of tho bond holders, was empowered
to proceed In law to take charge of the
company.
Tho traction company, It Is alleged,
has defaulted in the payment of the
last semi-annual interest, nnd bond
holders representing nil but $1,000 of
tho $300,000 have petitioned to have the
trust company take charge of the road.
The petition of the trust company
asks that court appoint a receiver with
power to take charge of the business
of the road and manage Its operation.
Hearing Expert Testimony.
The defense to be offered by the
Scranton Railway company In the Dr.
Porteus ense was foreshadowed yes
terday in the cross-examination of the
plaintiff's witnesses, particularly the
physicians who were called as exports
to show tho nature of the doctor's In
juries. Dr. Porteus himself, Dr. William
Hnggerty and Dr. R. II. Gibbons were
put on the stand to show that the
plaintiff Is affected with locomotor at
axia and that it was evidently caused
by the Injuries received in the accident
for which the company Is claimed to
be responsible. Dr. Porteus and Dr.
Hnggerty were quite fixed In the opin
ion thnt the contention of the plaintiff
Is correct, but Dr. Gibbons practically
held the exact opposite to be the case.
Ho would not admit that the symp
toms of locomotor ataxia were appar
ent in Dr. Porteus In a marked char
acter and held that even If they were
he would refuse to believe that they
were the result of violence such as
would come of an accident similar to
the- one with which Dr. Porteus met.
Some of the authorities hold that CO
per cent, of the cases of locomotor
otHXIn are due to venerlal disorders,
the doctor said, and others contend
that locomotor ataxia can come from
no cause other than these disorders.
The witness believed with the latter
and said If he found on a patient the
unquestioned symptoms of locomotor
ntnxln ho would have to pronounce
that man subject to the disorders
named.
When Dr. Porteus was on the stand
Major Warren nnd Mr. O'Malley tried
to show that It was very simple for a
person to simulate the symptoms of
Itcomotor ataxia, as for instance to
feign Inability to stand In the dark
or with tho eyes shut, to reel when the'
eyes nre looking upward, and Invol
untarily to have the knees cave In or
the feet move sideways Instead of for
ward when walking.
It was also brought out on cross-.
examination that Dr. Porteus drew
I'lghteen weeks benefits from the Order
of Tontl for Injuries received by being
thrown out of his carriage in 1893.
Dr. Watson was examined ns to tho
condition of Dr. Porteus Immediately
after the accident. Daniel Donovan
and Mnmo Drown, passsngers on the
car, Louis Ilorton. Mrs. A. W. Si
mons, pf Dunmore, and Mrs. Marlon
Oreon who were onlookers, were the
other witnesses examined. All agreed
that the car wns moving rapidly nnd
that no alarm was given until Just n
moment before the crash. The de
fendant's attorneys nlmcd to bring out
tho fact that Dr. Porteus should have
seen the car approaching had he exer
cised due precaution before driving up
on tho traek. It was shown that there
was nothing to Interrupt the view
from the bridge for a long distance In
the direction in whlrh th;J car ap
proached. Other Common Pleas Cases.

Patience, Thy Name Is Woman.
The patienco of women is
proverbial, nnd it argues a
patience almost more than
human which enables them to
endure so much pain and suffer
ing, which tho joyful experience
of their happier sisters ought
surely to induce them to escape
from.
" I suffered from female
sickness for fifteen years,"
writes Mrs. A. C. Scott, Le
Roy, Colo., 'suffered untold
agonies doctors could not give
me any relief. A lady friend
told me to get Warner's Safe
Cure. I got a bottle and it
helped me right away. I have
taken six bottles and my health
is better than it has been for
twenty years."
And Mrs. L. B. Smith, of
Ballston Spa, N. Y., after re
counting how she was almost
providentially led to the use of
Warner's Safe Cure, thus
recounts the happy results:
"My nervousness is all gone,
I am able to do lots of work
and am cheerful, for I can now
say what I could not at one
time, that is, that everything
looks bright and life is worth
the living."
Use Warner's Safe Cure. It
will restore the rose to your
cheek, and the brightness tc
your eye, and will make you
what you were intended to be,
a helpmate to your husband.

They contend that their properties
on Ninth street are belittled In valuo

A verdict of $4,200 In favor of tho
plaintiff wns returned yesterday after
noon In the case of IS. J. Williams
against Emily J. Moore, administra
trix. ThlB represents the full claim of
$3,000 and interest fiom 1S92 to date.
At the first trial of the case a similar
verdict was rendered. The supreme
court granted a new trial.
In the Interpleader case of Lydla
Rush against C. Matthewson, a ver
dict was returned In favor of the
plaintiff for all goods claimed except
ing a parlor organ and stool. Tills Is
the case tried by eleven Jurors, the
twelfth man having taken a fit while
Mr. Holgnte was making the closlns
address for the defense.
Suit Over a Note.
J. C. Cobb was sued yesterday by
Mrs. Mnrv A. Pelton in nav n. nrnmlo.
sory note for $223 on the First National
uanK, or mm city. Mrs. Pelton was
represented by Attorneys M. J. Mar
tin nnd J, H. Torrey. The note was
offered In evidence and was endorsed
by J. R. Osgood.
The defense Is that Osgood had asked
Cobb to raise some money for him and
that the note was made with this end
in view. Osgood's need for the money
passed and It was not taken. Mrs.
Pelton then borrowed money from Os
good nnd got the note made beforo
from him. It Is therefore claimed that
eho is not the accommodated party and
has no legal right to recover.

General Regret Over the Illness of
Judge F. W. Gunster. ,
It is with pained regret that the le
glon of friends and admirers of Judge
P. W. Gunster learn of tho serious
throat aflllctlon which Is feared will
Incapacitate him to such nn extent as
to enforce his retirement from the
bench. As a man and a Judge he Is
admired by every ono who knows him,
and they who know him best admire
him most.
About the court house where tho
matter forms a topic of general dis
cussion, nothing but the warmest ex
pressions of sympathy and good wishes
nre heard, and should It so happen that
he would be unable to continue on tho
bench, It would be the lawyers nnd
court officers who would regret it the
most.
METEORIC SHOWER
IS NOW OVERDUE
WAS BILLED TO APPEAR SBRE
LX BY THIS MORNING.
No Sign of It, Howovcr, Wns Vls
lblo In These Parts Up to 2.30
O'clock Not Unllkoly That tho
Shower Occurred and Wns Ob
scured from View in Theso Parts
by the Dense Clouds Which Hung
Continuously Over Us Some In
teresting Information.
Another night of "rubbering" nnd
still no meteoric shower. There mny
have been a shower nnd the astrono
mers who predicted It for last night
can safely assert there was, for It
might have rained good-sized planets
Instead of meteorlds and no one would
have been the wiser of It under nny
empyrean dome that covered us, so
denBe were the clouds that continually
hovered over these parts.
There are several elements of uncer
tainty about the time of the coming of
the shower. It mny come a little earlier
or later than Nov. 14-15, the astrono
mers have said, and some unknown ef
fect of the planetary pulls may so dis
turb the motion of the swarm that It
may decline to put In an appearance
at all this year. If so, tho astronomer
is quite certain that ho will see tho
display In the last year of the present
century November, 1900.
The meteors of this trl-century
shower appear to radiate from tho con
stellation of Leo. "the Lion," which
first appears Just a little cast of north.
From this, tho point of radiance, the
members of this shower take their
name, the "Leonids." Previous to the
last appearance, the shower was pre
dicted for 1SCG. On November 14 of
that year, a brilliant display wns seen
In Europe nnd on the same morning In
the following year America witnessed
a display about equally brilliant.
REASON FOR IT.
Star gazers say that this Is due to
the fact that the procession of meteor-old-s,
whose destruction produces the
rain of light, takes so long n time to
pass a given point that the earth can
run through them and wheeling along
on Its 600,000,000 mile Journey strike
tho procession again on the next cir
cuit. Some are far ahead of tho pro
cession and were seen last year. The
parade numbers thousands of millions
of meteorolds and so strung out are
they that while the earth runs across
them a distance of about 100,000 miles
in a few hours, twelve months or more
does not see an end of them.
A comet leads the procession, one
seen only in telescopes and preceding
Hhe procession at some length. It was
only at tho last appearance of Leonids
that this advance guard was put down
as a member of the procession, two as
tronomers learning thnt the orbit of
tho meteorolds nnd that of Tempers
comet of 1SG7 coincide more or less In
all particulars.
GRAINS OF COSMICAL DUST.
The meteorolds, whose brilliant de
struction are the cause of the display
are particles said by scientists to be
grains of cosmlcal dust, the size of
pin heads, grains of shot or small bul
lets. These are traveling about twenty-six
miles a second In opposition
to the earth's movement of eighteen
miles and striking the earth's atmos
phere at n relative speed of forty-four
miles a second, the frlctton heats the
particle to combustion point and It
disappears Into flame.
No dust from the showers has, so far
as is known, reached the earth, al
though aerolites have nt other times
often fallen. Some scientists hold that
the particles came originally from a
broken up nsteroid, others, from the
earth, thrown out from It In violent
volcanic action. At any rate they
were whirling through tho heavens, so
the astronomers say, bound for the
Infinite space, when they flew too near
the planet Uranus, who seized upon
them and drew them from their
straight course Into the ellipse which
for seventeen hundred yeare they have
followed.
The progress of the years, we are
told, will destroy tho brilliant periodic
shover of fire. Each of tho myriads
of meteorolds moves at Its own paco
through the heavens and while tho
faster gain ground, the slower fall be
hind until eventually the two ends of
the procefcslon will meet and each year
tho earth will rurn through the never
ending procession and celebrate a
stellar Fourth of July which will
gradually decline In display.
NEARLY RUN DOWN.
Some meteorldes consist of nearly
pure iron, with nickel,, others are
stony, and still others are mainly stony
with grains and globules of Iron. Com
paratively few meteors have been
seen to fall. Their chemical and mlrt
eraloglcal character Is such that they
can be identified ns meteors, it 13 sup
posed, without anyone seeing them
fall. The number of shooting rtars
visible to the naked eye Is far greater
than one would imagine who unly
glances at the sky now and then.
A single observer can see, on the
average, about five an hour. But such
a group of watchers can observe, ordi
narily, only those stars which "shoot"
within 200 or 300 miles of their observ
ing station. If, therefore, the whole
earth were covered with observers
enough to see all the heavens, it has
oten calculated by tho late Prof. New
ton of Yale university that tho number
visible dally would be between 15,000,
000 and 20,000.000. When to this num
ber we add those which nre too fnint
to be seen by tho naked eye, we reach
a total which may run up to 100,000,000.
Wo nre, therefore, forced to the con
clusion that Inter-planetary spaces are
quite rich In such bodies. Investiga
tions show that theso shooting stnrs
are of a gregarious temperament. Mil
lions travel together In tho samo
nwarm or group. They havo plenty
of room, the separate bodies frequently
being miles apart.
