An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Srnup or Fion, manufactured by tho
California Fio Svnur Co., illustrates
tho value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to bo
medicinally laxative nnd presenting
them in the form most refreshing to tho
taste and acceptable to the system. It
in the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing tho system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly nnd enabling ono
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, nnd its ncting on tlie kidneys,
liver nnd bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it. tho ideal
laxative.
In tho process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to tho
taste, but tho medicinal qunlities of tho
remedy are obtained from f-ennn nnd
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to tho California' Kio Syrup
Co. only. In order to get Its beneficial
effects nnd to nvoid imitations, plenso
remember the full name of the Company
printed on tho front of every package.

HURDY-GURDY
IS ATTACKED
LEGAL ASSAULT ON THE CHOSDY
MUSIO MACHINE.
Edward W. O'Mnlley Petitions Court
to Grant nn Injunction Against the
Much-Discussed Musical Attach
ment to tho "Merry-Go-Kound" in
tho Coney Island Extension of Nay
Aug Park A Dozen Residents of
tho Neighborhood Make Affidavit
That It Is n Nuisance.
Another attack is being made against
the hurdy-gurdy attachment to the
Ctosby merry-go-round In the Coney
Ifllnml addition to Nay Aug park.
Kdwnrd W. O'Mnlley, a resident of
the neighborhood, backed by n dozen
of his neighbors, Is leading tho aFsault.
City Solicitor Geotge M. Watson and
S. H. 1'ilce are his1 attorneys.
AflldnvltH galore, setting forth that
the organ was a nuisance, were pre
sented to Judge Carpenter vestorday,
with a foimal bill of complaint and
prayer for nn injunction. Judge Car
penter wanted to hear from the other
side before granting tho Injunction, so
tho petitioner had to be content with
a rule on tho "merry-go-round" people
to compel them to show cause why the
Injunction should not Issue.
Tho allldavlts av'er that the Crosby's
"free mldwnv" Is not propeily con
ducted; that tho gilnd-oig.in nttnohed
to the merry-go-round Is nothing short
of torluie, and that Its noise, discord
ant though It be In tho extreme, serves
only t attract large crowds of dis
orderly nnd lll-bebnved persons, whose
conduct Is far from being what one
would elcslte about his home.
Those who make aflldavlts are the
plaintiff, Mr. O'Mnlley, John Honne
tnuth, Theodore Onidner, H. F. Cox, H,
H. Hicks, Herman Osthaus, John P.

THK AFFIDAVITS.
The alllehivlts are In eubstance simi
lar to the otii made by the plaintiff,
which Is as follows:
I nm .1 resident Jiid tmpner eif the city of
Srantein Mi home la situited dliectly aerow

The house In which I reside Is altiiatecl In a resi

t'olfaic aiemia and Mulherrj (.licet nn a lot leased
nr oniiiel I'.v litni cert nn cheip huildlncs and
aninnc othir tliinps has erected a device knniin
as a "me rrv ro round", that connected with
the "merri en round" la an instrument or oritin
with a very loud and difaureeahle tone, which
he nperatis hy Menu eir either power; that during
the Iit frw months he has caused the same to
pin continuous, monotonous tunes from early
In the day until late at nicht. This "inerrj ro
round," containing aald organ, la situated hut a
short distmee from mj home, and the found of
this when in operation in very loud and exceed
tnirli unpleasant.
It has become a matter of serious announce
tn iniself anl fimily and the entire neighbor
hood, so much so that persotrs llilne In th
lieiuhhnrlmod hue complained nf the tone nf
tho Ini-trument and the minner in which it has
been operated.
Hy reason ef this Instrument and the unsual
fund it produces It gathers about the place,
when it Is operated, a very boisterous and ill
helmed asscmblace.
The tone nf the organ is so particularly dis
agreeable ami aunojlng that man.! persons liiing
In the neighborhood hsie complained lo the city
authorities!, in order tn get some relief from the
sound of said instrument.
I consider It .in Intolerable nuisance, and the
conducting and operating cf which Is destrojing
tho quiet and peaio nf the neighborhood, and
anno.iing the cltiena to that extent that llle is
neirly unbeatable
I cannot see that It is necessarv to the opera
tion of his business to sound this instrument,
but, on the contrary, ir is only used for the
purpose nf attracting a disorderly and ill behned
crowd, tint threatened the peace and good order
of thei community in which it is located.

Mr. Hennemuth adds to his nflldavlt
that he woiks nights and tries to sleep
day, but because of the hurdy-guidy
the elfort Is fruitless, and unless the
hindy-gurdy Is quieted he will have
to engage lodgings in some other part
of the city apart from bis family and
fireside. Colonel Osthaus 'says In his
nflldavlt that he heard tho hurdy-gurdy,
on ono occasion, seven and one-half
blocks away.
The bill is directed against James
Ciosby and Ogden Bros,, who operate
the midway, and T. J. Mullln, from
whom tho land is leased. It reads as

SclhiicI That acre Mulberry street nn the np
positc corner James Croah, Ogelen and
Ogden and T. J. Mullen are operating a
cerl iln deiiso known ns a "pieri go round"
upon wld lot, and hive been for two month, last
past.
Third Tint on or about tho (list day of June
tho said James Crosby, . Ogden anil -
Ogden and T. J. Mullen put in operation, under
tho manasement of said Jamea Crotbi, raid
"merry go-round," with other eleilcis, for the
eiilertainment of their piltuiw.
IVurlh That in connection with aald "merrj-
go round" the said Jame Crosb, Ogden
and Ogden and 1 J. Mullen hue an organ
or instrument which plas ceitaln tunes in a
lory diAigreeiblo and monotonoui tone, b rea
son ot which unsual noise a. large crowel of people
aid attracted to the ground in lie vicinity of
said "merry-go-round," whose, conduct is unhe.
owning, boisterous, violent, and at times tho
language is oliscene, indecent and proline.
nfth -Tho neighborhood In which said "merry
pi round" is located and operated Is a strictly
residential section cf the city of Scranton, and
tho monotonous grind cf the slid Instrument,
together with tho congregating of such a larg
number nf people (which assemblige contlmi-s
and remains on the ground tar Into tho night),
haj created Mich a state of disorder in the neigh
pollened that our orator and the people lesldln
near thereto are so greatly annoeil and disturbed
tint they cinnnt enjoy the prn liege of thrli
homes, and tho home, properly nf inur orator, is
thereby injured so that extent that it is almost
lalueless, as a placu cf residence. The piercing
and grlridins tones of this machine nr organ
haio become a nuisance, and, unless abated, ha
xvill bo compelled to remove from his home and
this neighborhood.

is located, tl.it It has bee nine a very great and
intnleiiblo niileaiien lo him, his faniil, and the
ciliM'ns in that vicinity.
ISeienlli ll.at tho pining of said instrument
