CARBONDALE'S POOR WELL PROVIDED FOR Visit to the Almshouse in Greenfield Township, Eevenls a Well Man aged District Everything Is in Splendid Order and Patients Sur prisingly Contented. It e.iii be stated as a fact that will stand 'the test of the closest investiga tion that the unfortunate! poor of Car bondalu aro very well provided for by the directors which make up the board of the CarliomUile poor department. It there is any taxpayer in Carbon dale who has nny desire to learn how the poor taxes of the city are being disposed of, let him visit the poor farm and the almshouse ill Greenfield town ship and he will be satisfied that the directors who make up the poor board are certainly making- every provision that could bo made for the eare of the helpless, aged and poor who are entrusted to their care, at the same time meeting every want and neces sity with the utmost economy, con sistent with a proper disposition of the needs of the inmates of the alms house. At the same time, the visiting taxpayer will be recompensed for the time and cfl'orl of his visit by the com fortable surroundings and the cheer ful, contented nmnner of the sixteen inmates who aio depending on the charity of the taxpayers. .

The three di rectors were accompanied by the rep resentatives of the vicinity press. While the directors had some knowl edge of how the inmates were Mir rouuded, in the way of necessities and comforts, to the newspaper men it was sumowhnl of a pleasant surprise.

The "Cannon Ball" Has Appropri ated Property Along Elver Street to Sixth Avenue, Indicating That Its Route Will Be Along There. The route chosen to enter the city by the projectors of tho new electric road from Scrttnton to Carbondalo, the "can non ball," as It hits been designated, is along Ulver street to Sixth tivenue. This carefully guarded secret was divulged yesterday In n notice received by Mrs. Carrie Ouuglutn from the coun sel of the new company. Mrs. Ganglion, It will bo recalled, la having n. villa erected nt the corner of Sixth avenue and Ulver street, on the triangular lot at that Intersection. The cellar Is ul ntost dug and II was Intended to begin the masonry work before n week. Yes terday, however, operations were ceased because of a notice sent Mrs, Guughan from tho railway company's counsel. It was nn order, In a sense, inasmuch as It has tho force of stopping nil improve ments under way, unless they be con tinued at tlie risk of the property owner. The notice Informed Sirs. Gaughan that tho now road had appropriated her property to lis own uses: that it nad chosen the site as a part of tho route for tho contemplated road, and had set stakes there, through its surveyors, as early as September of last year. AVhllo The Tribune I old a I thnt ttmo of the surveyors hnvlnr; taken measurements along 1 liver street at this point, and of the Anthracite building being the pos sible terminal of I he road, nothing definite could be ascertained as to how far tho company proceeded wllh its plans. Xow it can bo seen that all the land along tho river bank on Ulver street has been appropriated by the "cannon ball." This nnnroiu'lntlng of land is a right which railroad companies enjoy under their charters. It comes under the head of tho right of pinlijent domain. Tito company, of course, will have to pur chase the land, in order to rome into possession, and would have to Indem nify the owners up to the time that tho survey was made and the land staked out. which In this instance was last September. Any Improvements which might be carried on about the prop erties Involved, would bo carried on at the risk 'of the owners, after tho serv ing on litem of a notice similar to the one received yesterday' by Mrs. Gau glian. None of the other property own ers has received such a notice from the railroad company, for the reason that no Improvements tiro being effected. The notice Is a warning that the rail road company has tin option, as it were, on the property, under the right of emi nent domain, and (hat no changes may be made unless at the owner's risk of losing on them In the event of the pur chase bv the railroad company. This announcement of tho entrance route of the "cannon ball" Info Car bnndnle will bo an interesting bit of news. Last evening it wits a fertile topic of conversation among those who heard of It. THE BANNER SOCIETY. St. Aloysius T. A. B. Society Now Has IvTemhership of Nearly 400. Nominates Officers nt nn Enthusi astic Meeting. Tho SI. Aloysius Total Abstinence an.l Benevolent society is now enjoy ing the height of its success since it was organized, but little over a ryrnr ngo. Tho society Is the largest'.total abstinence society in the "city, but more than that, It holds the,, record of any oiganlzatlon In the diocesan union, north of Scranton. It is the banner society of tho district, and a gratifying clrcumstanco of its record Is that no other temperance organization here abouts has achieved tho results which the St. Aloysius young, nten have ac complished during the same period one year. Tito membership Is now at high mark, 1170. Last night there was an enthusiastic meeting In St. Hose hall, during which oillcers wore nominated a follows: President, T.

Dof.uney, who was the eill elenl president for the first year, was again given tho nomination Inst night, but declined for luck of time to devote to tho olllce. Mr, Del.aiiey's work as president has been such a big factor In tho society's exceptionally successful record, that tho members decided to show their appreciation by presenting him with a gold badge. Tho presenta tion will take placo ut tho next meet ing and will, mi doubt, prnvo a fellclt ous event. INCREASED BREWERY STOCK. Stockholders of Fell Company Raise Issue to R100,000.

HmHiii mi'4j i jrfL' Tho Indian Modlcinc Man had an Influence among Iho tribo which was equal, if not superior to, the Chief. Mnny roots nnd horbs havo been known to tho American Indians for centuries as valuable in tho treatment of certain diseases. It seems a provision of God that the man who lives close to nature has tho power to recognize certain plants as effective for aiding the human system to expel disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a blood purifier, liver regulator and general tonic that depends for its curative properties upon roots nnd herbs some of which are gathered by the Indians on tho reservations, Tho Indian, as well as the white man, recognizes that tho spring is the season of our greatest depression it is tho season for,! loss of flesh or spirits. A blood purifier as well as a (onio is needed at this time to strengthen" tho system to assimilate, food and put the body in a wholesome statu so that it can throw off tho germs of many diseases which at this time of year arc always hunting for ,viotims. This is tho work which the "Medical Discovery " accomplishes in a straightforward way without any dependence upon alcohol (for Dr. Pierco guarantees that no alcohol can be found in this medicine). Tho combination of herbs in this "Discovery" of Dr. Pierce goes to the seat of discaso by expelling the poisons in the blood then it tones up the stomach so that it can the better assimilate food, and in consequence tho person who lias lost flesh, appetite and good spirits all at tho same time begins to pick np, To gain in fat is nearly always to gain in blood, and the person who begins with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is soon told liow much better ho looks by his friends who seo a gain of flesh in his face. A gain of wholesome flesh up to a certain point goes hand in hand with rise in all the other essentials of health, and notably in the color and the amount of red corpuscles. The many testimonials received by Dr. Pierce during tho year are tho true test of what his " Discovery " will do. I believe that your medicines are the best in the world, and I hon estly believe tliaH would have been in my grave to-day had it not been for your medicine, and the mercy of the good Lord," writes Mrs. James It. Moss, of New London, Stanly Co., N. C. In the fall of 1S92 I took a hard cold, which seemed to settle in my head, terminating in catarrh of the head. It bothered ine all of the time, but I did not think it was serious until. , spring of 1893, when my health became much impaired. My blood was all out of order and I had to ro in the docion He gave me medicine which helped for a short time. In the winter of X' I Vot worse tlnm I had ever been.

So I secured some of the medicine and began takintr it. In one weel- I was able to do my cooking. When I began taking the medicine I could sit up only a few minutes at a time,' and I could rest or sleep only a little while at a time. My throat was so sore at times I could not even swallow sweet nulk. and my tonsils were full of little eating sores. My left side was swollen out of shape and so sore I could not bear my clothes fastened, as I could hardly get my breath. My victuals would sour on my stomach before I could leave the table. . It seemed as though I was out of fix all over. My folks and friends had about given me up. The doctor said I would not get well. My father said I would not live a month, but three Bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, three bottles of his 'Pellets,' three bottles of Dr. Sage's CatarrYt WPTtifrtv ntirt til liar nf c:tlf wntAr 1ti ii itrt-l- .MbUkkU w. mj f .... . w wH w.

She suffered greatly from dizziness in head, pains under left shoulder-blade and over the kidneys, pains in back and lower part of stomach, which seemed to move all the time from the bottom to left side of stomach.
