Since the hospital wni established, a
few years ago, the vast amount of
Kimd work accomplished therein Iium
only been .surpassed by similar lustl
nitlnnn with rniiacltles for linmllliif?
more caspt, and as far as the etHeary
of the staff Is concerned they are equal
to anything In the elt or state, for
that matter. ,
It Is a well-known ract that the state
mokes an annual appropriation for the
hospital, but this sum Is nearly all ex
pended In paying for the building and
Its equipments, and the voluntary con
tributions are used in nupnlylng the
needs of patients and Incidental ex
penses. The absolute necessity for it
hospital In West Scranton has long ago
been proven, and the number of eases
treated during the short time It has
been established Is ample proof of this
faet.

Vigilance Committee of First Ward
Meets Other News Notes.
An open switch at the Marvlno
breaker on North Scranton, where the
Leggett's Creek track branches off
from the main line of the Delawaie
nnd Hudson railroad, cuused n
wreck Saturday forenoon which inter
fered cpille extensively with traffic on
the road. "Hog" engine 319, pulling
frleght train No. 40, south bound,
caught the open switch, resulting in
its .lumping the track and b?!ng
thrown over on Us side, with s' me
of the cars following, jumbled up Into
a pile that blockaded the tracks. En
gineer Crawley jumped when the en
gine toppled over, and sustained se
vere bruises in falling, but his In
juries nre not serious. He was le
moved to his homo In Carbondale.
Wrecking ciews from Green Ridge and
Carbondale were hurried to the place,
but several hours elapsed before they
had the roadbed cleared and the en
gine lighted.
Owing to the wreck, It was neces
sary to switch all trains around it by
the north-bound track, and as a result
of this change in running trains, S,
M. Corson, the well known agent of
the company at the Providence sta-
i tlon, suffered a serious injury, the full
extent of which is not yet determined.
He was walking down the track, be
tween Dean and Depot streets, on his
way back to work from his dinner,
when an engine came backing down
the road. Forgetting that south
bound trains were using the north
bound track, he did not perceive his
danger until too late. The tender of
the engine caught him with consider
able force, knocking him some dis
tanci.', but luckily clear of the track.
He suffered a sarlous concussion of the
brain, and was unconscious when
picked up.
He whs can led to his home on North
Main avenue, near Parker street, and
Dr. D.,H. Jenkins called to attend
him. He did not recover full con
sciousness until late Sunday morning.
The attending physician reported last
night that Mr. Corson's condition was
somewhat better, and unless other
complications set In, would recover.

Dr. Reading Leaves Today.
Rev. S. G. Reading, D. D who has
temporarily tilled the pastorate of the
North Main Avenue Baptist church,
since his resignation last September,
will leave today for Willlamsport to
rejoin his family. His sermon last
evening was on "The Great Question,"
and was In the nature of a farewell.
Mr. Reading leaves this part of the
city with the well-wishes of all who
liad the pleasure of his acquaintance,
and with the sincere regrets of the
congregation he has so ably served.
What his future course will be Is not
fully decided. He Is wanted to become
the president of a Baptist college at
Colfax, Wash., and has been repeat
edly importuned to come there. It Is
also stated that he hus been suggested
to the First BaptistiJhirch of Spokane
ns a suitable successor to tho minister
who has Just left there, and It Is quite
possible that the coming year will find

west. For the remainder of tho winter
he has decided to give much of his
attention to evangelistic work in the
central part of the state, with his
headquarters at Willlamsport.
