dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
catarrh. Halls catarrh cure is the only

BIed n Man to Death.

singular case and at the same time
most serious one is that in which the
county prefers the charge of malpractice
against DIR. John Grigger, of Plymouth,
who was arrested ON Friday. DR.. Grig-
ger was called in on Sunday last to
attend Hungarian named John Cush,
of Plymouth, who was suffering from an
attack of cholera morbus. In his treat
ment he bled the patient and used
leeches, but the man continued to grow
weaker and in a few hours died. DIR.
Whitney was then called in and it is
upon the information furnished by the
latter that the arrest was made. DR..
Whitney appeared before County Detec-
tive Eckert and gave the information.
DR.. Grigger was arrested and taken
before Squire Lynch, of Plymouth,
charged with malpractice. The testi-
mony showed that at the time of Cush's
death there were twenty leeches upon
him and that they caused his death by
excessive bleeding. The county detec-
tive interposed no objection to Grigger
giving bail for further hearing and
bail in the sum of $1,500 was fixed for
his appearance.
Grigger is not registered physician
and was q miner a few years ago. He
has a large practice among the foreign
speaking people of his locality.

Body of John O'DonnelI Found.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of John O'Donnell, of Eber-
vale, who was missing since last Tues
day, was cleared up on Saturday, when
his dead body was found in the swamp
near Harleigh. On Tuesday night he
boarded the wrong car for his home and
got off near Harleigh switch to await
the arrival of the Ebervale car. In
going back he became confused and
wandered into the woods. There were
no marks of violence on his person and
the presumption is that he died from
exhaustion. There were fully 300 people
out dragging the mineholes and scour-
ing the mountains for him. His two
brothers came across the body.

MINES AND RAILROADS.

ID. S. q s. railroaders are all busy
learning about air. The Westinghouse
instruction car, which is stationed at
Drifton, contains all the necessary APP
pliances to assist them in becoming pro-
lcient in it's use. The instructors have
been surprised by the thorough know
ledge of the subject which several of the
men have shown. The employees, as a
general rule, are credited with remark
able brightness in mastering this intri-
cate part of their business.
Complaint has been made by passen-
gers who travel ON the Pennsylvania
Railroad of the annoyance caused by
the coarse whistle on the company's en-
gines. The company has now deter
mined to do away with the nuisance by
adopting ON all its locomotives the
smooth chime whistle.
The Delaware and Hudson has with
drawn all free pass cards and issued a
book of coupons instead. The same
company has sent forth an order that
all passenger employees must keep their
faces clean while on duty.

THE TROLLEY WRECK.
Deputy Coroner's jury Investigating the
Cause of the Accident.

The jury appointed by Deputy Coroner
German to investigate the cause of the
accident by which four persons lost their
lives on the Lehigh Traction Company's
line on March 30 began on Thursday at
Hazleton. Motorman AL Seitz was call
ed first. lie testified to the breaking of
the brake chain and the breaking of the
cogs when the reverse current was
applied, After calling to the conductor
to apply the rear brake he entered the
car himself and tried to reach the rear
brake, but was unable to get near it,
owing to the passengers crowding ahead
of him. Howard Evans, young lad
whose mother was killed, was called,
but he could not recall any of the events,
having been hurt. Edward FIGHTER with
his wife and two children were on the
car. He swore to seeing the rear brake
applied. Watkin Williams, whose wife
was killed, saw the conductor apply the
rear brake, but it seemed to have no
effect.
David Bachman, another passenger,
had his experience written out. He
stated that the seats on both sides of the
car were occupied, mostly by women
and children, butfour men being among
them. He heard the motorman shout
for the rear brake. On looking back he
observed pieces of the broken cog wheels
flying from beneath the car. The great
est excitement then prevailed. A lady
rushed by him and jumped from the car.
Upon turning he saw her body bound
about ten feet in the air. He remained
on the car until it stopped, and assisted
to extinguish the fire which followed
and to remove the injured persons.
Adjournment was taken at this point,
and the investigation continued until
Saturday.

The bill to prohibit the killing OF deer
in this state for five years after October
/ next, under penalty of 5000, has
passed the legislature and will most
likely become a law. Hugh Malloy,
president of the Freeland Game Club,
was interested in the passage of the bill,
and has done some figuring on the good
it will do. Out at Mt. Yeager there are
three deer which have so far escaped
the hunters, and Mr.. Malloy claims that
if the law is faithfully carried out until
October 1, 1900, the time specified in the
bill, these three will have increased to

Presidents Meet Again,

The conference of presidents of the
anthracite coal companies held on Fri
day resulted in the appointment of an
arbitration committee of five to settle
existing differences. The committee
consists of Messrs. Oliphant, of the
Delaware and Hudson; Harris, of the
Reading; Wilbur, of the Lehigh Valley;
Maxwell, of the Jersey Central, and
Thomas, of the Erie. 1t is understood
that the great obstacle to settlement
was the question as to which interests
will make concessions in favor of the
Lehigh Valley. This company wants an
increase in its allotment. The Reading
is said to have placed itself ON record as
refusing to sacrifice any of its tonnage
for that purpose.
