anything like It, and when the summer

going- to Atlantic City or other resorts
on the New Jtisoy coast, the Idea of
leaving Scrantmt at a convenient hour,
and reaching the destination point In

intelligent traveler. The "Quaker City"

MISS DUPPIN
ON THE STAND
WAS UNDER EXAMINATION
ALL MORNING.
Told an Epitome of the Story of Her
Life and the Details of the Acci
dent for Which She Holds tho City
Linble to the Exteiit of S2G,000.
Occullsts Say One of Her Eyes Is
Blind and tho Other Almost
Blind Physicians Sny She Is In
jured Internally.
In thu t'liso of Mary Dtillln against
the City of Scranton, the tllal of which
began Monday befote Judge Gordon,
the plaintiff yesterday took the stand
and was all morning giving testimony
under direct and cross-examination.
Her story of the accident, for which
she holds the city liable to the extent
of $23,000, una as told In detail hi yes
terday's Tribune. She was walking
along Adams avenue on a rainy night
In November, 1S9.1, and In stepping
aside to let some other pedestrians
pass, her foot tripped against a large
iron fly-wheel lying on the ten-foot
sidewalk space, within a foot of the
flag walk, and pitching headlong she
struck violently against the wheel, In
juring her eye and side.
The Injuries, she avers, caused blind
ness In one eye and an impairment of
the sight of the other: also internal
disorders of a very serious and perma
nent nature.
In giving the history of her life, In
response to questions by her counsel,
Miss Duflln said she was born in Phila
delphia thirty-six yeais ago, graduated
from a Westchester convent school In
18S0, taught school In Wllkes-Bnrre
eight years, and then came to this city,
where she In turn taught school, did
dressmaking and conducted an employ
ment agency. She was at the time of
the accident, and has been since, en
gaged In the conduct of an employ
ment bureau. Before the accident she
did the work unaided. Since the acci
dent she had to have an assistant. i
At the afternoon session. Dr. James
Stein, oculist, testified that one of Miss
Dttflln's eyes Is blind and the other
nearly so. Dr. S. P. I.ongstreet testi
fied that she Is seriously affected Inter
nally and that her nervous system Is
badly shatteted.
Dr. W. F. Connors, oculist, who ex
amined Miss Duflln last week, testified
that one of her eyes is blind, and that
the other will soon be entirely bereft
of vision.
Mary Marshall, Sunn Sclmell, An
thony Duffy and Elizabeth Collins, who
have been Intimately acquainted wljMi
Miss Duflln for many years, told that
she was apparently In perfect health
prior to tho accident, and that, com
paratively speaking, she is now a physi
cal wreck.
Miles D. Hines, merchant, and Will
iam Franz, ex-county commissioner,
gave testimony corroborative of the
plaintiff's claim that the obstacle was
on the sidewalk space close to the flags,
and that it had been there for a long
period of time, probably six months,
prior to the accident.
Dr. E. J. Butler, of Wilkes-Barre, who
was Miss Duflln's physician when she
lived In that city, testified that she was
In good health then, and that since the
accident her health is completely broken
down.
The case is likely to occupy the whole
week.
In Judge Kelly's com t, a non-suit
was granted on motion of Hon. C. P.
O'Malley, in the case of C. D. Reed
against the Scranton Railway com
pany. Reed sued for $73 damages al
leged to have been done his wagon and
harness by being run down by a trol
ley car on Capouse avenue. Alderman
Saltry gave judgment In his favor.
The company appealed on the ground
that the alderman had no jurisdiction,
the damages being consequential In
stead of direct. Court sustained the
contention,
In the case of Michael Sohuller
against John Lewandowskl, judgment
for the plaintiff in the sum of $100 was
entered by agreement. Judgment for
the plaintiff in the sum of $170 was
entered in the case of John Scluilter
against the same defendant.
A verdict of $18S.G0 for the plaintiff
SPOT HIM.
Perhaps Coffee Is (leltliiKlts Work In on You
People who think they can digest
coffee and yet are sick half the time
might learn a uluable lesson in
health and get same happiness out of
life if they would make up their minds
to quit colfee and take Postum Food
Coffee.
You can tiace the results so accur
ately tis to leavo no possible doubt of
the cause of the sickness anil the rea
sons for the return of health,
A lady from Blue Mount, Miss., gives
her experience. She says, "1 always
used to drink milk, but III 'OS I went
down to the southern part of the state
to teach school and hoarded In a fami
ly of coffee drinkers. I began drink
ing one half of a cup at 11 meal, The
habit grew on me and 1 Inci eased the
amount.
"Gradually 1 became nervous, my
complexion grew sallow and yellow
and finally my stomach would fre
quently throw off the food. I gradually
ate less and less, depending upon the
coffee to keep me up. Finally I con
cluded that the trouble was malaria,
and the doctor advised me to letue
that part of the country. So I went
back up to the hills In tho hope of
getting better. Instead of that I got
worse, Palpitation of the heart set In
and I got so weak I could scarcely
work.
I took it great niuuy remedies, but
found no relief. 1 went to tho moun
tains In California for two inunths
without Improvement. 1 was thor
oughly discouraged, about my condi
tion when 0110 day a ft lend mid, 'Why
dou't you give up coffee?' 'Quit cof
fee,' I said, 'why that Is about all I
live on,' She begged pie to try leaving
It off and use Postum Food Coffee.
"1 did not have much faith In the
experiment, i had tried so many
things without benellt, but I decided
to yield to her entreaties. In less than
two weeks ufler I quit coffee and be
gan using Postum Die pall of III health
left me und I began to sleep us sound
as aiiyone. My complexion improved,
and my stomach begun to regain its
strength.
"Now, after three mouths' use ot
Postum, I feel as well as I ever did, I
would not be without Postum Food
Coffee unit vllt never drink another
drop of coffee. It came too near kill
lug me." Mrs. Yeru Denlut, Jlu

Reafilims Former Finding.
President Judge H. M, Kd wards yes
terday handed down an opinion dis
missing the exceptions to his former
findings in the case ot II. B. Reynolds
against W. P. Boland, et 11I,
In the original opinion, the bill of
complaint was dismissed on the ground
that the plaintiff had no standing In
equity court. Till second opinion nf
flrnVs the Hurting of the first that "the
plaintiff has nilstitken his forum." Ho
should proceed, the judge says, In a
court of law, Instead of a court of
equity.
The case Is to be appealed to the
Supreme court. It grows out of a dls
pllf of over $10,000 worth of stock In
the People's Coal company.

ministrator had extendede over a period
of about three years, during which

It Is tho case of K, lloyd Weltzel, ap
pellee, against the Traders National
bank, of Scranton, Orniond Itnuibo up.
peared for Mr, WelUel, and Hon, W.
W. Watson and William Wllkius Catr
for the appellant,
!;. Boyd Weltzel In 1S03 gave a note
for J33S.75, and the day it beuiiue due,
two months later, deposited with the
teller of the Tradeis' bank tho amount
of the note, placing It 011 deposit in hln
father's account, because he hlmselt
had no account, und marking on the
slip "to meet K R. W. note." The note
was not presented for two years. Wlu-u
It was ptesented, tile elder WVltxe, had
no account In tho bank, lunlug checked
It all out, Including the ?33S,75 deposited
In his name, by his son to meet the note.
The holder of the note, William Flte,
of Philadelphia., sued M, lloyd AWItzel
und secured judgment. Weltzel then
sought to lecover fiom the bank, and
the Philadelphia court dhected a ver
dict In Ills favor. The Superior court
now sustains this (hiding, although two
of the court, Judges Hice and Smith,

A case of general Interest, In which
a decision was made conlirmlng the
judgment of the Philadelphia common

refused to strike off the ball of the al
