D GOHMAN AT THE HOSPITAL.
Is Resting Comfortably and Will
Probably Recover.
Eddie Gormnn, whose knee-cap was
perforated by a bullet from the trusty
-revolver of Contablo Stephen Gllb'y on
Tuesday evening; because Gorman ob-
' Jected to. being placed In "duranoo
.vile" nnl made a wild break for lib
erty, Is resting comfortably In tho hos-
'pltnl. He recovered from the. effects
of the anaesthetic nil right after the
doctors had probed for the bullet nnd
extracted It, and last night the head
.nurse at the, hospital. Informed a Trib
unes man that "he was doing ns well as
' I'ould be expected," whatever that
might mean.
The shooting was the general topic
or conversation ull over tho'clty yes-,
ten-da v. The Tribune was tho only
innrnlng paper coming to Carbondala
lli.it contained an account of the af
fair. A largo number of people
thought thnt Gllby had exceeded his
powers by shooting ut a prisoner who
was held on the charge of petty lar
ceny, even If he was escaping. Others
contended that the constablo only did
bin duty, as Gorman was known local
ly as a very tough citizen, who has
been mixed up In several desperate af
frays, and It Is said ho bus served n
term for robbery. Gorman's father Is
n conductor on a coal train on the
Delaware and Hudson nnd railroaders
feel deeply sympathetic townrcl him
on account of tho trouble his boy has
brought upon him.
At present Gorman Is virtually n
prisoner In the hospital. Even It he
could manage to make his way out
upon his wounded leg, he could not
gat far at this time of the year, for
Ills clothes are all locked up and out
of his reach, and travelling In a night
shirt at this time of the year Is apt to
have decided drawbacks and Is not
conducive to comfort, even with (two
(iotnul legs.
"The Parish Priest."
It Is hardly necessary to describe
Daniel .Sully to a Carbondale. audi
ence. Hu has been seen here so often
and is such a universal favorite with
our playgoers that praise of him seems
supertluous In this city. But his play,
"The Paris Priest." will be presented
at our local theatre on Saturday night
for the first time. This play was writ
ten by Dnn Hart, of Wllkes'-Barre,
whose productions have helped Mr.
Sully previously. Its first appearance
was given nt Scranton on the last
night of the last season, nnd the piece
ppore'd an liistnntaneous hit. So popu
lar did It prove that It was produced
again In Scranton at the opening of the
present season, nnd will once more
be given there shortly. "Tho Parish
Priest" tells a story of pathos and
humor deliriously blended, nnd it Is
written so ns to nrouse no sectarian
feeling of any kind.
A Surprise Party.
A surprise party was given to Newell
Stoddard on Tuesday evening nt the
home of his parents on Salem avenue

THEIR CURATIVE TREATMENT
by the
Drouet Method.
This method of treating tho above
diseases was originated .by the cele
brated French physician, Dr. Drount,
of Paris. The treatment consists In
the direct application to the mucous
membranes of specific remedies, which
act by gradual Impregnation on tho
diseased tissues with remarkably suc
cessful results. A most Ingeniously
constructed Instrument and apparatus
Is required to carry out this mode of
treatment. By Its use every portion of
tho Nose, Throat, Larynx, etc., nro
Illuminated for the purpose of diag
nosis and treatment. The remedies and
medicines are Introduced to tho dis
eased tissues In the form of vapors nnd
medicated nlr, which produces a mild
nnd soothing effect upon the congested
nnd Inflamed membranes. A single
trial of this treatment will convince
any one of Its beneficial effects.
This method of treatment Is now In
troduced from Europe In tho United
States for the first time. Its advant
ages, etc., will be fully explained at
