from awards heretofore made by view
ers in cases of damages against the
city. The bond of James Blair and
Alfred Hand, as sureties for City So
licitor Torrey, was approved.
In reply to Mr.. Lauer's resolution re-
questing the city controller to explain

the following excepts are taken:

ers exchanged $4,000 Az per cent. bonds
having an average Of about nine years
to run. for $4,000 per cent. bonds due
December, 1896. That the city has $l16,-
OOO In bonds to meet in 1896, when there
VIII not be sufficient cash in the sink

UNI. Holders Of the per cent. bonds
have been offered 103 with accrued In

The letter concludes by reference
TO the controllers sinking fund state
ment in his annual report. and cites a
resolution approved Dec. IA, 1893, as the
authority of the commissioners for their

lows:
That the sinking fund commission
ers be and are hereby authorized to
dispose of bonds in sinking fund at

filed.

COAL TRAIN DERAILED.
Wreck on the Delaware and Hudson Near
Carbondale Yesterday Morning No Life

Wreck on the Delaware and Hudson Near
Carbondale Yesterday Morning No Life
Was Lost.
Section men were repairing the north
bound Delaware and Hudson railroad
track about three miles south of Car
bondale yesterday morning about IL
o'clock, when a coal train of eighteen
empty cars, drawn by engine No. SO,
Engineer Edward Smith at the throttle,
rolled along. The track had been
raised for some distance with jacks,
and as the coal train was going slow
there was no danger of a derailment
feared.
But the rails spread when the engine
and five cars had ran onto the part
that was being repaired. The engine
first left the track and plunged along
the ties, tearing up the track with It..
The eight cars next to the engine broke
loose and rolled down the five-foot en-
bankment along the southbound track
Four hundred feet of the track were
torn up before the engine came to a
standstill. The wreck occurred above
Mayfield, midway between the Erie
breaker and Lees crossing. The speed
of the coal train would hardly be ex-
pected to result in the tearing up of so
much OF the northbound track. The
passenger train that leaves Carbondale
at 12.40 was delayed forty minutes and
the train leaving Scranton at was de-
layed only ten minutes. The road was
cleared at 3 o'clock and traffic was
regularly resumed.
Exaggerated reports were rife con-
cerning the wreck, that life had been
lost. The engineer did not receive a
scratch the engine not having left the
track. None of the brakemen were on
the cars that went down the bank.

waldrou Coming TO Scranton.

Waldron, the great Canadian horse
dealer, is coming here with two carloads
Of the best horses ever offered in this
market for sale. One car will contain
work and business horses. the other will
have high knee actors. coachers, trotters
and PAGERS, and some extra fine combina-
tion saddlers. He will arrive about We'd
nesday next and stop at the Cuslck stables
on Washington avenue, where they can be
seen, tried and driven by those intending
to purchase. This Is the man that sold
sixty odd horses In n little over one hour
at Utica, N. Y, something never before
accomplished. OF course the fact that he
handles Canada horses is what enables
him to make such quick sales. He will
sell them at public auction for what they
will bring regardless of cost or valuation.
When a. horse enters the auction ring he
must be sold at some price. win or lose,
and that alone is what made his sales so
successful whenever he sells. The Canada
horses have world wide reputation for
their strength and working qualities, as
the are long living and healthy horses.
Among the string will be some fast ones
with records below 2.3O. If you want a
horse of any description wait for the
Canada horses.

FLOUR
DO YOU have
fIRST-CLASS Bread ?

Bread is used by every member of
your family at almost every meal.
Then we ask you is it not very essen
tiat that you have the best that you
can get? How nice it is to always
have a close grain, soft, white bread,
with q pleasant taste, instead of a
coarse, spongy, dark bread, with, to
say the least, no very agreeable flavor.
1t is an unquestiOnable fact that at
least one-half the homemade bread is
not anything near as good as it should
be, or would be, if the best quality of
flour is used. Now we don't mean to
say that people do not buy, or at least
pay for, the highest grade of flour. We
think they do, as few care much for an
additional soc. or 81 on the cost of u
barrel of flour if they only get the best
by paying it. But that they do not
always do. You may have sometimes

a meal placed before you that you did
not care to eat. But to the point, we
