WHAT THE MONEY
IS TO BE USED FOR
SEWERS THAT ARE TO BE CON
STRUCTED BY CITY.
Will Be of Oreat Advantage to Al
most Every Part of the City.
Thirty Thousand Dollars la to Be
Used in Building the Very Much
Needed Overflow Sewer to Relieve
the Ones Now Laid in Lackawanna
Avenue and Linden Street.
The proposition to Increase the city's
indebtedness to the amount of $273,
203.80, for the payment of the city's
share of the tost of the construction of
certain sewers within the city ItmlU,
seems to have been approved, and it is
Interesting to note just where these
sewers aro located nnd what the first
steps to be taken will be.
The following are the sewers pro
vided for In the ordinance and the es
timated amount of the city's share for
each:
Svstem of sewers, Section IJ,

Two of the sewers mentioned In the
ordinance, namely, tho Seventeenth
district ind North Main avenue, are
now under course of construction and
the contracts for three others have
been executed, but not certified, ow
ing to tho lack of an appropriation.
Two of these contracts are let to 5L
J. Olbbons. They are for the construc
tion ot the sewers In the Sixteenth
district and Section B of the Fifth
district. The third contract has been
let to Donahoe unci O'Uoyle and Is
for the construction of the rower In
Section D of the Fifth district.
An ordinance will probably be Intro
duced at this evening's meeting of
common council providing for the Is
suance of the bonds and directing that
they be sold as otlen as the exigency
arises. The maor and conti oiler will
undoubtedly be selected to form a com
nfissinn to supeivlse their sale.
Kach sepatate sewer or sswer sys
tem will of coutse require a separate
oidlninco before bids can be adver
tised for, and these will be Introduced
bv the councllmen whose waids. are
directly Interested.

If you arc suffering from Kidney or
Bladder disease, tho doctor asks: "Do
you desire to urinate often, and arc you
compelled to get up frequently during
tho night? Does your back pain you?
Does your urine stain linen? Is thete
a scalding pain In passing It, and Is It
difficult to hold the urine back. It so,
your Kidneys or Bladder are diseased."
Try putting some of your urine In a
glass tumbler, let It stand twenty-four
hours. If there Is a sediment, or a
cloudy, milky appearance, your Kid
neys are sick.
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Reme

most distressing cases of these dread
diseases, and no physician can pre
scribe a medicine that equals It for dis
eases of the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder

Chronic Constipation. It will promptly
correct the bad effects of beer and

ANDREW J. SMITH DEAD.
He Was a Member of the Lacka
wanna Bar and a Prominent
Citizen of Waverly.
Andrew J. Snilth, a veteran member
of the Lackawanna bar, died suddenly
some time duilng Tuesday night, at
his home In Waverly.
He and a young man name 1 Albert
Johnson, who had care of the Smith
homestead, were alone in the house,
the rest of the household being away
on a visit. Mi. Smith was complain
ing during the day of feeling ill and
retired at 7 o'clock. Along towards the
middle of the night, voung Johnson
looked into his room and saw him
lying on the floor, near the bed. Think
ing he hnd rolled out of bed wMle
asleep, he was not much alarmed,
but to his honor he discovered upon
attempting to laise him that he was
dead. The bodv was cold and rigid.
Dr. Mackey, who was hastily sum
moned, gave It as his opinion that
death was due to heart disease.
Mr. Smith was born In Waverly over
sixty yeais ago and resided ihere all
his life. He was a son of Thomas
Smith, who had extensive land hold
ing" In Old Foige, und as hlH heir
came Into n handsome Income fiom
coal ioj allies and land siIcm.
He wns ed ut a ted for the bar in a
New Yoik law school and studied in
Wllkes-Hane with seveial of the lead
ing law eis among the old time meni
bets of the Lu-etne bar. He was ad
mitted to practice In Lueine and fol
lowed his piofesslon with saecrcs for
mnny .eats, hut retlted about ten"
years ago fiom active practice, since
which time he had been living quietly
In the fiimilv homestead at Wnvoily.
His wife died twentv ears ago Two
children who survive him, Mrs. fli ic e
Oeoire and Thomas Snilth live In Lon
don. Hng. His two slsteis. Miss Ji n

ranBements will not be nude. It Is
expected, though, that thev will be In
charge of Waverly lodge of Masons, of
which thp deceased was a member.
Mr. Smith wns an Interesting chai
acter and n man possessed of i .in
ability. In politics ho was n Demo
crat, but never took an active part In
campaign work or sought office, except
occasionally, some mlnoi bo-otigh of

The music Is most assuredly not

Commissioner Thayer and Stenogra
pher McAndrew Have Already
Earned 8800 and Are Now En
gaged in Making Up the Report
Which Will Call for Additional
Fees of $000 When It Is All
Through We Will Know Who the
Right Constable Is, Possibly.
Testimony In the Eighth ward con
test over the offlio of constabb, which
has be'.n m !njs last July, Is n. vU
In and yesterday ComtVilssloner E. W.
Thayer entered upon the work of mak
ing up his findings from the transcripts
being furnished ns fast as completed
by the official stenographer, M. J. Mc
Andrew. ,
The commissioner was for forty days
engaged In taking testimony nnd dur
ing that time examined 250 witnesses.
About fifty days will bo required to
make up the report.
When the contest Is all over with the
costs will figure up somewhere In tho
neighborhood of $2,000. The probabili
ties arc that It will be more.
Fortv davs, as stated before, were
spent In taking testimony. The com
missioner lecelves $10 a dnv nnd the
stenographer $10. This calls for $800
to start with. An nllownnce of $10
per day Is made for making up the
report, and as this cannot well be
done lnldc of titty days, the commis
sioner will have another $"00 coming
to him. Resides the $10 a day allowed
the stenogiapher for taking testimony,
there Is an allowance of so much per
hunched words for transctlbln;;, and
at the lowest estimate this will figure
up nnother $400.
The 230 witnesses will Bet $1 each,
and the officers who summoned them
will want $150. The Incidental ex
penses such as stationary, court costs
and the like will make another $100.
All told the costs will not fall fat
short of $2,200.
The county, of couise, will be called
upon to pay the expense no mntter
which side wins. This big wad of the
taxpnyeis' money Is being spent to sat
isfy one John Walsh, democrat, that
he did or didn't have more votes for
the office of constable In the Kighth
vvatd, than did his Republican oppon
ent, one W. II. Thomas. Attorney D.
J. Reedy Is attorney for the contestant,
and John R, Kdwnrds topresents the

Pethlck Desertion Case Heard.
Testimony In the desertion iase of
the commonwealth ngalnst How aid P.
Pethick was taken yesterday before
Willis S. Coston, to whom It wns 10
ferred as commissioner. District At
torney John It. Jones appealed for the
prosecution, und George L. Peck for
the defense.
Mis. Mamie S. Pethlck, the prosecu
tilx, was examined at length and tes
tified to some veiy sensational episodes,
the most racv of which was that her
husband gave her permission to go to
New York with a i dative of his, bv
whom he was employed, upon her
agieelng to use her Inlluence to sacuic
for him a inlse In salary. His sal try
was talsed fiom $75 to $90 a month the
very next pay day.
She also told of being locked out of
Hotel Rudolph because of her nus
btnd's f.-.IIfTte to pnv for their bond
and Induing, and of having to leffaln
possession ol her personal belongings
by letting them down with the aid of
a rope fiom theli loom on the f ninth
floor of the hotel.
She stated that the manage! ol the
Rudolph caused a policeman to an est
her when she peislsted In gaining an
entinuce and that she spnt a night
In the police station as a losult. The
major, on lieu Ing her stoiy, in the
moi nlng, nllov ed hoi to go.
On cioss-examlnntlon she admitted
she was anestid at anotlici time on
Washington avenue for makln-' a dis
till banco, but denied that she had any
male companions at the time. The de
fense also tiled to show that she was
put out of the Nash because of dis
oiderlv conduct.
The heating was continued a week to
allow the piosecutlon to got luither

Borough Sues Telcginph Company.
i Another suit to leeover license tax
has been Instituted by the Borough ot
I Taj lor against the Postal Telegraph
I company. In the statement tiled j-es-
teidaj by Solliltor John M. Harris,
i lalm Is made for $220 50 w Ith Interest
for tax asressed against the compnnj's
poles and wlies in 1S9S nnd 1S99, for
which demand has been made and pay
ment t of used.
In IbUI, tho boiough passed an or
dlnaiue piovidlng for a police Inspec
tion of nil poles nnd wlies on public
highways or lommons, within the bor
ough limits, nnd fixing u yeaily tax
of $1 on each pole and $2.30 on each
mile of wlie.
The company opposed the collection
of the tax on the giound that the bor
ough had no authority to levy It, and
the boiough biought suit. The case
was heard before Judge Gunster and
a decision lendeied In favor of the
borough. Fiom this an appeal was
taken to the superior court, but for
obvious reasons was never piosecuted,
being, first, continued and, flnallj-, at
the Scranton session. In Januarj-, dis
continued. Boroughs throughout the whole state
closely watched the piogtess of tho
case Intending to follow the example
