COURT HOUSE NEWS NOTES.
A rule for a new trial wns discharged
yesterday by Judge Airhluld In an
opinion tiled In the ejectment case of
.Mm V I Hilly agalml Maiy Dulfy
for tiii: (iiur.
You Have Heard of Many Remedies.
Did You Ever Try This OneP
Kerjl)ody you ineel on the streets
nowadays cither has Just had the grip,
Is coming dowu with It or has a sure
euro for It.
Tho disease has been a puzzle lo
physicians ever since Its appearance
several years ago and 'It Is as much
of n puzzle today as II was then. It
exhibits such a variety of symptoms In
different individuals and leaves such
disastrous results after appaient re
covery that ius yet Its prevention and
cure has ballled medical science.
However, there is no doubt but that
tho grip Is catarrhal In character nnd
the leading symptom In nearly every
case Is Increased secretion In the head
and throat; In fact, tlu tlrst Indications
of la grippe arc those of a cold In the
head which extends to the throat and
lungs.
I Jr. Johnson Ames advises as the
safest course to pursue on the llrst up
pearancei of grip symptoms to keep to
the house for n day of two and take
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets every hour
the llrst day and every two hours tho
following day and states that thfs will
break up the trouble before It becomes
denp-seated.
These catarrh tablets are antiseptic,
nnd harmless and prevent fever and
the further development of grip germs',
and ward off the ever piesent danger
of pneumonia.
Dr. Herald Simpson says: "I have
found Stuart's Catanh Tablets a pleas
ant and thotoughly reliable remedy for
the grip, especially Nltli elderly people,
with whom this prevailing disease Is
always dangerous." Tho tablets can
be found nt any drug store and If used
freely during the llrst few days of the
attack will break It up.
La grippe is u catarrhal affection, the
germs are In the air and no one H
pioof against it, but the timely use of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets will prevent
any serious results.
The ownetshlp of a plot of laud In
Carbondale is the matter in dispute.
Judge. Archbald yesterday overruled
tho demurrer in the canity care of Uen
jamln S. Robinson against Michael J.
Ucrrlty.
Tho will of the late Joseph Ansloy,
of West Scranton, was yesterday ad

DEPARTMENT CLERKS.
The Estimates Committee Expected
to Provide for Them.
Tho estimates committee will find
Itself called upon at Friday night's
meeting to provide for clerks for tho
dlrectuis of the departments of publio
safety and public works, as well as un
additional clerk for the recorder's olllce
and two more for the city controller's
olllce.
The appiopilatloii of 5.720 asked for
tho salary of a street commissioner's
clerk has already been eliminated from
the estimates, and It Is proposed to
also cut out the $7h0 asked for u clerk
to tho stieet commissioner, in lieu of
these two It Is planned to provlelu 'i0
for a clerk to the department of public
w 01 ks.
It is planned to cut out the Item of
SUiO for a. clerk to the chief of tho flro
department and to provide $900 for a.
clerk to the department of public
safety. Itecorder Molr insists that ho
must have nn additional clerk, whllo
Controller Howell says ho can't get
along with less than two aeldltlonal
clerks, on account of the extra duties
pioIdcd for him In the ripper bill.
THE CONTROLLER'S SALARY.
Those who have given tho matter
study way that the salary of Controller
Howell cannot be raised from $2,000 to
J.2.50J as provided In the icorganlza
lion ordinance. The ripper bill fixes
the salary of this olllce at this llguic
and thu ordinance Is drawn up In ac
cordanco with Its provisions.
It Is said that to ralso the control
ler's salary to ?2,C0O would bo to offend
against the section of the constitu
tion which piohlbtts tho Incrcusu or
icductlou of a public oillecr'H salaiy or
emoluments after his election.

During the jear I haie lunl the appiratus oier

Dining the jear many Imptoiemcnts have ben
nude In the dipirtmcnt boides the repairs to

The woeful laik of hose In Hip iirpiitmcnt is one
cf the lit ilrr features to which I would call jour
attention, although money Ins been annual!)
appropiitted fur its putrha-e and guarintepil for
at leat thne jeats. A grrat ileal ol Hip Hum1
that Is in service is old and mttiti and burts
wluneier the least pre.ssuie Is plieul on ll. Vn
imentory of tho hop, taken Marih 1, lOul,
shows a totil of P.I00 fi'ut in the dipartnnnt.
Of this, a.iwi feet is In good condition, a.inX) tn-t
in fair condition, and 1.MI0 lipt whlih is mint
for spriico where the waler piesuip is oier one
hundred pounds. ThU gbes the deparlment C,W0
frit of lio-.e which Is in good condition.
Certain portions of hose now in ii-p t haic
londemncd as unlit tor uniee, but it will luip
to be inido twi ct in certain sections of the my
wheic the water picsure is not high until I 0
eelic (iifllitetit approptlation at the hands of
councils to lit out the depirlmcnt as It should be.
The Iiom" question is of ital inipoilarie. Win 11
poor hose is In tuo poor senile is rindircd,
owing to time lost nplaelng burtnl seetlons.
Tho fire deparlment of Suanlon eannot haic
too much hose, owing to the distances between
b)drants. In some of the outl)lng sei lions of Hip
lity It is olten neicwiry lo liy l,jfl feet of
hose before a stream lau be tmnid on Hie llamis.
'jneie aro two things In this comiicflou Ihat I
would liiattlly jeconmiiud, and they aie plmty
cf liosc and plenty of b)dranls.
I hold that considerable money can bo sand
en the Item ot hoso which lias heiitofore been
wasted. If tin" lioc is pioperly taken late of,
sir., washed, if needed, or eliled and bra-hed, it
will lat twice as long; hoso cannot bo giitn the
proper care, howecr, uIllcs a change is on hand.
llach compnty should h.uo at least one thous
and feet, halt on the wagon and half under cup.
When hoso is brought in trom a lire it can linn
be ileaned and driid and the luiupiny will nut
hao to be out of seiWee. At pufiit thin Is
2,500 feet of tlrst class hose ill seriieo in the cen
tral city. This giws each company an ctta iiuu
feet. Kacli ono of tho subuibati companiis aver
age about DW feet of hose. A supply wagon, .11 a
