CASEY SITS TXP NOW.
The Man Who Suffered from Hic
coughs Is Almost Better.
To the many who were InterestedMu
the ease of Kd ward Casey, nf Pqwderly
road, who It was feared was atTlltted
with fatul attacks or hiccoughs, It will
be assuring to learn that he is on the
road to rapid leeovery. Since last Sat
urday, he has shown continued Im
provement. The hiccoughing lessened
on that day and has grown less, until
now It has quite ceased. The patient
has become exceedingly quieted and Is
noii- able to sit up. Ho has commenced
to take nourishment and partakes quite
liberally of solid food eacli day. There
In no indication of a leeurrence of the
attacks, and his recovery seems as
sured. Singularly enough, the cessation of
the hiccoughs cannot be attributed to
any of the many remedies Hint were
tried. The attacks stopped of them
selves as- they often do, and just when
everyone despaired of Mr. Casey's re
covery. Everyone hereabouts will be
pleased to hear of the patient's favor
able condition.

speed at which he was going, united to
make a. collision of such force that It
threw the lady to the sidewalk. While
Mrs. Conner did not sustain any severe
bruises, her nervous system was badly
disturbed. AVhen she reached her
home it was necessary to call a physi
cian. He- found her to bo suffering
severely from the shock resulting from,
(no fright ol the experience. Yester
day, her nervous spell had ceased
somewhat. AVith rest and quiet, Mrs.
Connor will be fully restored in a few

HULL iS IMPROVING.
.Small-pox Sufferer at Waymart
Seems to Be Getting Better The
Situation Quite Satisfactory ns
Incubation Period Is Pnssed.
The small-pox situation In tho vll
Iiikc of Waymart Is quite satisfactory.
N'o now eases have developed, and as
the period of Incubation, two week's, Is
over today, the physicians feel quite
hopeful.
liert Hull, the young man who In
afflicted with the disease, has taken u
turn fur the better. Word received
from Wayniitrt last evening brought
the cheering news that ho was improv-.
Ing and his recovery is looked for.
As monttoued before, the physicians
interested in the case are hopeful that
lliey have controlled its spread. 11
is two weeks today since Hull's case
was diagnosed as small-pox. This Is
the limit of the period of incubation,
and if there was anybody who came In
contact with him and In a condition to
get tho disease, the symptoms should
be developed by this time. The feat
is removed, therefore, of any one be
coming affected outside of the Cliff
famlly.whero Hull is quartered, by rea
son of contact Willi the sufferer. If
there 1 any danger from Hull's ease
now. It is perhaps only among those
in the same household.
Tlie quarantine, however, will not bo
removed from tlie affected house until
all possible danger has passed. It was
due to the quarantine being established
so soon as Hull was taken sick that
the spread of the disease was prevent
ed, and it is proposed to rigidly main
tain the quarantine while the danger
period exists.
The schools at Waymart arc closed
and will not be opened until the quar
antine is raised.

the. removal to tlie liospltal, where the
careful nursing the case called for
would not be wanting.
At the hospital last night, it was giv
en out that Palko's condition was
grave, hut that, owing to his youth
tho chances wore in favor of his re
covery. It was discovered yesterday that the
hoy was Internally injured. The enr
in passing over the body, beside
crushing a thigh and dlslocntlng a hip,

tinal injury than those on his limbs.

WAGE SCALE DISPUTE.
Causes Several Carpenters to Leave
Hansen & Son's Employ.
Owing to a misunderstanding as to
the new wage scale, three carpenters
lu the employ of John Hansen and son,
quit work on the McAndrcw's building
on South Main street on Thursday.
They asked for $2.25 per day, which
tlie new scale, effective April 1, pro
vides. The Hansen's claimed that this
Increase of -'." cents per day, by the
new scale did not apply to work con
tracted before the new schedule of
prices went Into effect. Tho McAndrew
building and the Fell Hrcwery plant
wore contracted for before April 1, and
it was claimed, was not involved in tlie
itew scale. The contractors were will
ing to compromise by paying one-half
of the 25 cents Increase, but tlie dis
satislled men would not accept. The

men and place them on new jobs where
the wages would be according to the

tion wns not accepted.

list amounting to $250 for exonera
tion, which was placed In the hands
of a special committee AVhecler, Sulli

and report at the next meeting. It was
deemed advisable to have tho repairs
made on the two culverts on Second
and Third streets made, and the
street and bridge committee were In
structed to draw up specifications for
tho work, which will be done by con
tract, and report at a special meeting
to bo held for the purpose. In discuss
ing this subject, It was claimed' Hint
the damage done by tho recent Hood
was caused by the turning into, tlie
AVIld Cat creek of two streams which
formerly took a course towards the
Ridge. The council are of opinion that
they can secure compensation for tho
damages caused by this action and the
matter will be placed in the hands of
the borough solicitor. Councilman
Moon drew attention to the ordinance
forbidding the depositing of ashes on
the streets and alley-ways. He said
little, If any, attention was paid to the
ordinance, and if council did not en
force it, he would personally do so.
The mock trial, given under the aus
pices of the Epworth League in the
lecture room of the Methodist church
last evening attracted a large crowd

countered in securing a Jury, which fi
nally consisted of the following: H. D.
Swick, foreman; J. AVilllams, AVllliam
Trotter, AAr. O. Hill, Prof. Barrett, John
Adams, John Friend, Elijah Stephens;
AVllliam Cudllp, Elmer Fowler, AVln
field Cudllp and Alva AVhitley. A
great deal of fun was extracted from
the conflicting testimony of tho wit
nesses and the sallies of tho attorneys.
The defendant, Richard Smith (It.
Hocking), was charged with unlawful
ly and maliciously shooting the bull
terrier of Arthur Slocum (Archie Mar
tin). Smith was ably defended by his
nttorneys, G. Arthur Fowler and John
B. Griffiths, while C. F. Baker and T.
IT. Evans eloquently pressed the case
for Slocum. Judge Baker had just
completed his charge to the jury when
wo had to finish our report, and leave
