Miss Nellie Lynott of the West Side and Homer Van Gouler Wedded in Windsor, N. Y., Last September. The Pleasant News Made Known Yesterday. There soeina no end to nuptial sur prises, in Carliondale which have fol lowed closely upon each other the past six months. The latest surprise of this character was yesterday, when the news leaked out of the marriage of the daughter and son of two well known families of Carbondalo. Jliss Nellie Lynott, young i est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lynott, of the West Side and Homer Van Gorder, son of Mr .and Mrs. C. B. Van Gorder, of Terrace street. The wedding took place lasp Septem ber when Carbondalo was begining to celebrate her golden jubilee. On Mon day, September 2, they quietly with drew fiom the festivities to Windsor, N. Y where the ceremony that united their young lives was solemnized. They returned to Carbondalo in the evening, but kept the news of the union a secret until a few days ago, when it was an nounced to the families. This interest ing announcement will bo eagerly re ceived among the young people of the town as the parties are conspicuous in their social sets and have hosts of ad mirers. Mr. Van Gorder hns been an efficient employee for the Carbondalo Telephone company until a few weeks ago when he resigned to accept an advanced position Willi the Interstate Telephone company at Trenton, N. J., one which offers opportunities to satisfy his am bition to rise. Mrs. Van Gorder has a sunny dis position which readily wins friends.

The News says: "John B. Gordon, over his protestations, lias again been unanimously elected eommnnder-in-chlef of the United Confederate Vet erans. In war there was none more courageous and more chivalrous. In peace ho has striven, while tenderly true to the lierolo memories of tlio great struggle in which he distinguished himself, to bring into close harmony and more fraternal union those who wore the blue nnd those who wore the gray. His eloquence lias touched many hearts where bitterness was raging to gentle icsignation nnd kindly feelings. His own example has led to emulation many thousnnds upon either sldo of Mason and Dixon's line. In all efforts for greater rienco and rood-will among his countrymen there has been no trace of subservience nnd no yielding of self respect. Ilia attempts to bring about a thorough reconciliation are but the ex pression of a bravo and generous heart "rind a broad-minded patriotism, John l.WGorflon has played Ills part well In "life's drama. Ills re-election by his de voted fellow-heroes will bo applauded "BLUK MONDAY.'' - No Uie for it Any More, r . :How good food put a good mliilBter on his feet again la an Interesting Story. He says, "A little moro than a year ago I eomonced tho use of Grape Nuts Breakfast Food. At that time I had been untledim from dyspepsia, for about Jlvo years. I had tried all tho jumedleBmy friends told me about but witli no permanent relief. My Sabbath duties at that tlma near ly prostrated me aiid tho following day I was of no uso to myself 9c to any pnij $lse, After beginning tho food a change began to take place and gradually the dyspepsia and disturbance left me.

General Gordon's visit to Carbondale will bo ever cherished ns a delightful and valued memory by those who hnd tho pleasure of coming close to him during his brief stay here and who hnd revealed to them the Inner side" of this noble son Of the" South. A SUDDEN DEATH. Mrs. May Belle Cramer, Wifo of Merchant Louis Cramer Unexpect edly Called Hence. A sudden summons to depart this life came to Mrs. May Belle Cramer, wife of Merchant Louis W, Cramer, at her homo on Laurel street, yesterday fore noon. Mrs. Cramer was taken on Monday with what was supposed to bo a mild uttnek of grin. However, Wednesday afternoon she sat on tho porch of the residence and yesterday she was about tho house feeling so comfortable and cheerful that Mr. Cramer had no liesl tnnry in going to ills store on Salem avenue. About 10 o'clock she collapsed. 13 r. 13. L. Bailey was hurriedly sum moned, but ho was at Mrs. Cramer's bedside only a few minutes before she Gxpltcd. Heart failure is ascribed as tho cause of death. Mr. Cramer readied homo after his wife hnd passed away. The news of Mrs. Cramer's sudden and unexpected death sent a thrill ot sorrow through tho wide circle of friends to whom she was endeared by her beautiful traits of character. Tho news was likewise received with sad ness and gloom throughout the com munity, for Mrs. Cramer's gentle in fluence was widespread. Tho deceased, who was Miss May Belle Fuller, only daughter of John and Lizzie I. Fuller, the latter of whom sur vives, was born in Carbondale twenty five years ago and lived hero continu ously, with the exception of a few years spent in Nicholson nnd in Jermyn. She was graduated from tho Carbondalo High school in tho class of 'S9, and taught school for several years, achiev ing an enviable record of efficiency. Mrs. Cramer wan a member of tho Berean Baptist church and exerted an effective influence In the Sunday school, particularly, in which she labored with characteiistic xeal and unselfishness. Mrs. Cramer was wedded on April 27, 1S0S, to Lewis Cramer at their new home in Jermyn, by the venerable Rev. W. 15. Grow, of this city. Besides Mr. Cramer, one child, Leland Russel, aged six months, survives; also Mrs. Cramer's mother, Mrs. Lizzie I. Fuller. THE BREWEBY TROUBLE. It Was Over the Employment of Certain Union Hands. There is some misapprehension as to tho labor trouble at the new plant of the Fell Brewing company, in Simpson. The story that was widely circulated was that Contractor O'Neill, of Scran ton, who has the contract for tho erec tion of the structural iron, wanted to employ non-union help and for this reason President Krantz stopped the work In favor of union help; and that Mr. O'Neill hnd abandoned the contiact. The trouble, however, did not arise from tho emulovment of non-union hands, nor has Contractor O'Neill given up tho work. He endeavored 1o and did em ploy union help, but it was not the class of men who work on stiuctural iron that wan engaged. Men, other than structural iron woikers, were engaged, and at wages that, while they accorded with tho class of labor employed, were not the same that the lion workers would receive. Tho objection, therefore, it will bo seen, was to tho cmploymont of men from other trades union than tlio iron workers, who, the American Federation of Labor olllcers in tills dis trict insist, arc tlio only ones who were qualified under the union rules to do the work. In other words, the iron workers were being discriminated against by the employment of men from other trades unions, at lower wages, nnd who were qualified to do tills class of work. On Thursday tlio American Feder ation of Labor organizer from Carbon dale had a conference with Contractor O'Neill in Scranton. While no positive agreement was reached, it is likely that the matter will bo adjusted, nnd none but structural Iron workers will be en gaged to do the work, CLOSE OF THE SEASON. "Arizona" Will Be the Event of the Dramatic Year. Tlio close of the dramatic season In Carbondalo will occur this evening when Augustus Thomns' "Arizona" will be given nn elaborate production at the Grand. Manager Bryno was exceedingly for tunate in securing this attraction for no better offering could bo provided for Cnrbondnllans, as the close of what has, under tho circumstances, been a successful season. "Arizona" ranks with "Tlio Bonnie Brier Bush" and is under the same management. Of course the acting of J, II. Stoddard will not bo realized in this production, but It can be safely said that tlio even ing will not b a whit less enjoyable. Tho rest of tho company is made up of as capablo actors as wero seen In "Tho Bonnie Brier Bush." The principle suggestion that "Arizona" Is In tho same class ns "Tlio Bonnlo Brier Bush" Is of itself an nssupaneo of a rare dramatic treat. Tho sale of seats so far Indicates a good house, but nomo of tho choicest remain, which can bo safely procured before G o'clock tills evening. Well Situated in Rochester.

J, Winn, a machinist in the cm ploy of tho Sedgwick machine works, at I'oughkeepsle, N. Y hud a narrow cscnpo, but Baved himself by his own efforts. Ho told this story to a report er ns follows: "I hnd been working here for eleven years," he said, "without even a week's time to spend In rest. It was all right till a year ago when I began to lose flesh and to experlenco a severe pain in the right side. My appetite was fair but I could ent only the plainest of food nnd not heartily of that. My weight was reduced to 118 pounds. "Besides tho pain which was very shnrp at times, I could not stoop over without being dizzy when I stood erect ngnln, and my blood was thin and watery. I employed physicians who said I wns suffering from Indigestion. I did not obtuln nny material relief and, as a friend suggested that I should try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I did so. "Tho result is very evident. I noticed a llttio improvement by the time the first box had been taken. I persisted, nnd continued till four boxes had been taken. This was about a year ago. I have had no return of the trouble; I am back at my normal weight of 132 pounds nnd am feeling well and strong. If anything I can say about the remedy Will do any good to others who nre afflicted as I was, I am glad to say it, for there is no doubt that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured me." Mr. Winn lives at No. 325 Church street, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and is will ing to substantiate his above state ment. Tho pills which cured lihn are not a patent medicine, but a prescrip tion used for many years by an emin ent practitioner who produced the most wonderful results with them, cur ing all kinds of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of almost every ill to which flesh is heir.

A Boston Woman's Experience. "Dear Mrs. Pinkhaji: I feel very grateful to you for the benefit :j derived from your kind advice and remedies. I was troubled with a complid cation of female troubles, had ovaritis, painful and irregular menstruation, leucorrhcea, nervousness and weakness. I had no appetite and could not sleep nights. Tho least exertion would cause shortness of breath and dull pains in my hips and side. Tho doctors all advised mo to have an operation and have one of my ovaries, removed, but this I could not bear to think of. I was induced to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and after taking the first bottle I was much improved. It renewed my appetite, health and strength. I continued taking it, also your Blood Purifier and Sanative Wash until entirely rinrcd of all my troubles. The pains have never returned and my health is splendid. Your remedies have been a boon to mo and I am sure many a woman owes'her life to them." Mabie Webb, 358 Columbus Ave., Boston, Mass. (March 15, 1901.)
