ATTORNEY GARMAN ACCUSED.
Denlen CThnricea of Attempting to
tlrlhe n WllUi'nliiirrr Councilman.
Wilkesbarre, Pa.. Aug. B.—The in
vestigation of the bribery charges in
city council were continued yesterday.
Councilman Santee, who swore on
Monday that he had been offered a
bribe by George J. Llewellyn, was call
ed for cross examination. When ques
tioned as to why be waited seven
months before he informed councils
that one of its members had been
bribed or an attempt made to do so, he
said he was reluctant to inform on his
friend Llewellyn, and he knew it would
be hard to prove a charge.
Councilman Thomas Wheatley, who
was instrumental in bringing about
the investigation, testified that he met
Attorney John M. Oarman in an eat
ing house in this city a little over a
month ago. and that they started to
discuss municipal affairs, including
the efforts of a new electric railway
company from Scranton to gain ad
mission in Wilkesbarre. Witness knew
that Mr. Garman was attorney for the
company. Mr. Garman asked the
councilman what ho would take for his
vote. Mr. Wbeatlev wanted to know
what he was willing to pay, and the
attorney said S6OO. Witness said the
other side were paying SBOO. Mr. (Jar
man then said that in case the Scran
ton franchise was secured Wheatley's
vote might be worth $5,000. This end
ed the conversation, and the witness
said nothing to any one until he ex
posed the matter in council.
Mr. Garman sworn 'hat lie never of
fered Wlieatley a cent of money, that
hp was not authorized to offer it and
that the company he represented did
fV)t have money to spend in that way.
Another witness corroborated Mr.
Gartuan's testimony to a more or less
extent. Mr. Wheatley's testimony was
not corroborated.

t?r Two Day* Spent in Manila.
Washington, Aug. B.—Miss Margaret
Astor Chanler, of New York, has for
warded from Manila to the secretary
of war a severe criticism of the army's
medical system in the Philippines, al
leging that there is a lack of surgeons,
lack of nurses, lack of medical sup
plies, including such articles as sheets,
jind asking that she be allowed 500
sheets for emergency distribution. A
copy of Miss Chanter's criticism has
been forwer<l<li to Mrs. Cowles, the
sister of Governor Roosevelt, and to
several officials and individuals of
prominence. Secretary Root referred
Miss Chanler's letter to Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg, who has been making
a thorough injuiry into the various
points raised. He yesterday submitted
to Mr. Root what is regarded as a com
plete refutation of the arraignment of
the medical service in general and of
the specific points of arraignment
made by Miss Chanler.
The correspondence has not been
given out, but it is understood to be
of a rather spirited character. From
the standpoiirt of the medical officials
here. Miss Chanler's criticism loses
much of its force from the fact that
it was written only two days after she
arrived at Manila. The records of
the war department have been brought
forward to show that many of Miss
Chanler's specific charges lack ground.
PRINCE OF GREEN GOODS MEN.
Operated Ksteiini vely in I'ennaylva
-11 In, \cw Jersey and Xe« K n la nd.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 8. —Daniel
Creel, who Anthony Comstock says is
a prince of green goods men and leader
of a band that has been oi.erating ex
tensively in New Jersey, Pennsylva
nia and New England states, was held
for the grand jury by Commissioner
Merle in the United States court yes
terday. Dr. C. A. Fox, a dentist, of
Ayre, Mass., had received several let
ters last winter from green goods men.
On the advice of Anthony Comstock
he communicated with the swindler
and trapped Creel and Henry Mont
gomery, his accomplice. When Creel
saw r Comstock in the court he fled.
His bail was forfeited and Montgomery
was held for the grand jury. Creel
was recaptured yesterday and was sent
to the tombs today. The telegraph
operator at Rondout, N. Y., has been
arrested as an accomplice.
ItlnNt Furnace* Have \o Aureement.
Pittsburg, Aug. 8. —There will be no
concert of action in closing the mer
chant blast furnaces of the Mahoning
and Shenango valleys, as indicated in
a Cleveland dispatch, according to the
Pittsburg firms which are Interested in
the association. At the office of one
it was given out that there was no
meeting held in Cleveland Monday, the
last being held a week ago yesterday,
at which nothing definite was accom
plished. The furnaces have been clos
ing and will continue togo out of blast
simply because , market conditions do
not make It profitable to operate. The
pool price agreement was ended six
weeks ago. By Sept. 1 there will be
only four of the 33 furnaces in the two
valleys in operation.
LOIIK Drawn limurniice Cine Settled.
Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. B.—After
six trials in the United States circuit
court, and a delay of over 21 years,
the Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York yesterday settled its case
with Mrs. Sallie E. Hillmon-Smith in
this city by paying her $22,000 in cash,
the amount, with interest, decreed by
a jury to be due her on a policy held
by Hillmon when he disappeared in
1879. The Mutual Life of New York
is thp second of the three original in
surance companies to settle. The Con
necticut Mutual is still holding out
with a judgment of $11,054 against it.
What a splendid type ot tireless activ
ity is the sun as the psalmist describes
it issuing like "a bridegroom from his
chamber and rejoicing like a strong
man to run a race." Everyman ought
to rise in the morning refreshed by slum
ber and renewed by rest, eager for the
struggle of the day. But how many
rarely do this. Most people rise still
uufreshed and dreading the strain of
the day 's labors. The cause of this is
deficient vitality and behind this lies a
deficient supply of pure, rich blood, and
an inadequate nourishment of the body.
There is nothing that will give a man
strength and energy, as will Dr. Pierce
Golden Medical Discovery-. It does this
by increasing the quantity and quality
of the blood supply. This nourishes the
nerves, feeds the brain, builds up en
feebled organs, and gives that sense of
strength and power which makes the
struggle of life a joy. The "good feel
ing" which follows the use of "Golden
Medical Discovery" is not due to stimu
lation as it contains 110 alcohol, whisky,
or other intoxicant. It does not brace
up the body, but builds it up into a con
dition of sound health.

Pittsburg, Aug. B.—The members and
officers of the Window Glass Workers
association assert that the factories
will be started Sept. 1, as scheduled,
even though the flatteners refuse to

been lighted in several factories west
of Pittsburg, and the workers say fires
will be lighted In every factory by
Aug. 10.

A GREAT RECORD.
Hard to duplicate it in Danville.
Scores of representative citizens of
Danville are testifying on the following
subject. Such a record of local endorse
ment is unequaled in modern times.
This public statement made by a citizen
is but one of the many that have preced
ed it and the hundreds that will follow.
Read it;
Mrs. Nelson llollister of (511 Mill
street, says:—"My sou John was always
troubled with his kidneys, and I was
told by one doctor when we lived in
Lewisburg that he would always have
bother with them. He had pains MI his
back, could not sleep and the kidney se
cretions were annoying and embarrass
ing. There were pains in his head and
he was depressed and dead tired the
whole time. Doan's Kidney Pills re
lieved him of the whole trouble. My
husband also used some for lameness in
his back and the}' gave him immediate
relief.''

The shrewd advertiser is beginning
his fall campaign now. It is only a
matter of six weeks before the opening
of the season will be here, ami it will
find lots of so called advertisers unpre
pared, and who will join the great army
of failures and insist that advertising
does not pay. A little business discre
tion used properly now will save many
future lamentations.
Evils of Autipyrine.
The use of antipvrine for the relie
and cure of headaches has a depressing
influence 011 the heart, and causes a de
rangement of the kidneys. Kruuse's
Headache Capsules contain no antipv
rine, chloral, morphine or any injurious
ingredient. They cure quickly and leave
the head clear and cool. Price 25c. Sold
by Rossman & Son's l'harmacy.
A traction engine belonging to a man
named Woodruff, of Elysburg, crashed
through the Rohrbach bridge in Frank
lin township, Columbia county, while
attempting to cross that structure yes
terday morning.
I'nless rain falls soon the Beech Creek
and Fall Brook railroads will not be able
to move a wheel without hauling water
for fifty or sixty miles. This is due to
the great drought prevailing through
out the sections penetrated by the two
lines.
» Nerves Like a Flat-Iron.
A woman who suffered for three years
from nervous prostration says, two bot
tles of Lichty's Celery Nerve Compound
effected a complete cure. She hardly
knows today whether she has nerves or
not, as she never feels them. It is cer
tainly a wonderful remedy. Sold by
Rossman & Sou's Pharmacy.

Regardless of Age.
The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
other organs of the body.
A majority of the ills afflicting people
today is traceable to kidney trouble. It
prevades all classes of society, in all cli
mates, regardless of age, sex or condi
tion.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu
ralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in
the back, a desire to urinate often day or
night, profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in ur
ine a'e signs of clogged kidneys, causing
poisoned and germ-filled blood. Some
times the heart acts badly, and tube
casts (wasting of tlie kidneys) are found
in the urine, which if neglected will re
sult in Bright's Disease, the most dan
gerous form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions arc
promptly removed under the influence of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. It has a
world-wide reputation for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is
so easy to get at any drug store at fifty
cents or one dollar. You can have a
sample bottle of this wonderful discov
ery, Swamp-ltoot, and a book telling ail
about it, both sent to you absolutely free

Mysterious Killing of a Philadelphia
Merchant and Hli Wife.
Philadelphia, Aug. 6. —Robert W.
j Sinclair, aged 51 years, a fruit commia
j sion merchant in this city, and his
j wife, Annie E., aged 32 years, were
both found dead Saturday night with a
| bullet hole in each of their heads in
i the garden in front of their summer
home at Green Tree station, on the
Pennsylvania railroad, near this city.
1 Whether it was a case of mutual sui
cide or murder and suicide will prob
\ ably never be known. The couple had
frequently quarreled, and some time
ago separated. Last week the wife re
turned to her husband's house. Sin
clair and his wife each carried a pis
, tol, for what reason no one could ever
find out. Saturday night as the hus
band reached home and was entering
j the gate neighbors heard him ex
claim "Don't shoot," and a few seconds
later two shots in quick succession
were heard. Several of the neighbors
rushed into the garden and in the
darkness found Mrs. Sinclair lying
dead. Clo«e by her head was her hus
j band's revolver. The husband was
! lying a few feet away, and died in a
I few minutes without regaining con
| sciousness. The wife's pistol, a small
weapon, was found about three feet
from his body, There are three theo
ries as to how the traged'y occurred.
One, that they agreed on mutual sui
i cide; second, that both fired at the
other as if in a duel, and, third, that
! the wife killed the husband with her
j pistol, threw it near his body, and
i then took her own life with his re
j volver. The police are inclined to be
lieve that the last theory is the cor
rect one.

GOLD SEEKERS DEFY TROOPS.
II and red Miners Arrrntrd For
Workiag Along the Heaclt.
Seattle, Aug. 3. —The Times says:
The first serious trouble between the
military and prospectors in the north
this year resulted in the arrest of over
100 of the miners who went to Top
kuk, about 50 miles south of Nome
City. The clash occurred July 11. It
was the result of a prolonged claim
contest and cases of alleged claim
Jumping. About a week previous over
100 miners were forced to quit work
along the beach at Topkuk by soldiers
who were funded from the United
States transport Seward. Soldier*
were regularly detailed day and night
to guard the cliff from being torn
away by the miners, who were only too |
eager to get at the rich pay streak,
which was already uncovered for a
width of several hundred feet.
Under the conditions of suspension
of work the miners were allowed to
work their dumps, which work was 1
about completed. That having been
done, the miners held a consultation
and determined to defy Uncle Sam and
return to work. The soldiers were all
mustered out on the beach, and with
bayonets fixed attempted to force the
men to leave, but not a man stirred.
A parley ensued, with the result that 1
30 or 40 miners submitted to arrest
and were put under guard. Others
quickly took the places of the arrested
ones, and were in their turn arrested,
until the soldiers have now more than
they can attend to.
A perplexing problem now is how to
feed and house the arrested miners.
If they are not fed the soldiers are in
danger of being overpowered until re
lieved by revenue cutters or trans
ports. Ten were taken to Nome on
July 20 and released on bonds.

THE ADDICKS REPUBLICANS
H«»1<l u Convention in Dover, and Se
lect (.'unilidatoM For State Office*.
Dover, Del., Aug. 7.—The Union Re
publican state convention met at Do
ver yesterday with a full attendance of
delegates and party leaders. It was
called to order at 11:30 o'clock and or
ganized with D. H. Barnard, of Wil
mington, as temporary chairman and
William T. Smithers, of Dover, as tem
porary secretary. About 25 of the 185
delegates are colored men.
The convention took no definite ac
tion. but it is generally admitted that
the following ticket wiil be named:
For governor. Dr. George W. Marshall
of Kent; lieutenant governor, John
Hunn of Kent; representative in con
gress. full term, Dr. Caleb R. Layton
of Sussex; to succeed the late Con
gressman Hoffeeker, Walter O. Hof
fecker. his soh; attorney general, Her
bert H. Ward of Wilmington; state
auditor, Daniel J. Layton of Sussex;
state treasurer, Martin B. Burris of
New Castle; insurance commissioner,
Stansbury J.' Willey of Wilmington.
Presidential electors, George H. Ca
pelle of New Castle, Manlove Hayes ot
Kent and Cornelius P. Swayne of Sus
sex.
Of these the candidates for electors,
lieutenant governor, auditor and treas
urer are regular Republicans. Their
acceptance is very doubtful.
The convention adjourned without
action, but there is a general belief
that the delegates will be called to
gether in convention after the conven
tion on Aug. 21 of the anti-Addicks
faction.
