ONE TH0UCHTLESS HOUR
How Glad Vacation Mas Followed
by Bitter Pain.
A TREACHEROUS ENEMY.
A Common Experience and the Lesson 1t
Contains for People Fond of
Living out of Doors.

A young man in Philadelphia was
fatally injured not long ago by SO inno-
cent "A thing as cuff button. He fell in
such a manner that the button was
driven into the flesh of his wrist. The
wound though painful, was not consid-
cred dangerous and no great precaution
was considered necessary until signs
of lockjaw appeared. Then, of course,
all treatment was useless.
This is one example Of the power for
mischief of little things. Here is an
other less dramatic, but more common
and, therefore, more impressive. PeO-
pie who went from town to country in
the beautiful summer of 1895. delighted
to spend most of their time out of doors.
They even lay on the soft grass at
night watching the stars and enjoying
the cool breeze. If, upon risinr, man
found his back stiff he said, II must
have been In one position too long
II the stiffness persisted until the next
day he said, II guess | must have taken

But now vacations are over and the
autumn Is well advanced. That sore

the back con'ir

feeling Of lassitude at times, the urine

skin is pallld and the face hloatcd just

and appetite almost gone.
Let us look the matter in the face
without flinching. Thi, is more than a

TO HANDLE THE STATE AID.
Proposition to Have the Volunteer Asso.
citation Take Charge OF the Matter

A meeting of the presidents of the
several fire companies in the Scranton
fire department was held in Durrs hall
last evening for the purpose of formu-
lating plan for receiving the money
which will be paid to the city treasurer
on Jan. l. 1896, for the relief of dis
abled firemen.
Every company was represented eX-
cepting Niagara and Relief. After q
lengthy informal discussion a commit
tee consisting OF Senator J. c. Vaughn,
and Councilmen Fred Durr and p. j.
Hickey was appointed to confer with
the mayor and chief engineer as to the
advisability OF having the Volunteer
.Firemen's association take entire
charge of the same.
With slight changes in the constitu-
ton and bylaws the present assocla-
ton can readily handle the business to
be transacted according to the law as
recently passed. This committee will
report to meeting of the presidents on
Tuesday, oct 30, at the same time and
place as last evening.

THERE MAY BE LITIGATION,
Inspection Bill for Linden street Bridge
Material Comes L n Ayoip

If the Edge Moor Bridge company re-
fuses 10 submit 20 the deduction Of
:9l0.5S. the hill for inspection. from
their final estimate for Linden street
bridge. there win be q law suit. The
city does not intend to pay the bridge
company until the latter agrees to set
tie the bill for inspection Of iron as pro-
vlded In thc specifications.
The bill was received from the Amer
lean Engineering and Inspection COM
pany, Of Albany, who deemed the city
their debtors inasmuch as they were
engaged to do the work by the city en-
gineer The supeciGcatiOrs of the con-
tract provided that the engineer
should engage a competent man TO in
spect the iron az y was made In the
coTpanys mills at Wilmington, but 1t
also provided the cost Of the inspection
should be borne by the bridge com
pany. Upon receiving the bill CITY
Controller Widmayer forthwith for
warded IL to the Edge Moor corupanv
at the same time calling their attention
TO the provision Of the contract COW
cring this point. The company re-
turned the bill with hint to the effect
that they could not be held account
able at isw for the wages of a man en-
ployed by the city Of Scranton. City
Solicitor Torrey rendered an opinion
on the matter holding that the prOVis-
Ions of the contract would stand at
law. With these facts before them the
auditing committee refused to approve
OF the compary's claim for s23 800 10,
the final estimate on the bridge, and
decided TO refer the matter to coun-
els.
1t Is likely that the bridge company
VIII be offered the amount of their
claim minus the inspection bill and if
they don't want to take 1t they can
sue for the whole amount OF their
claim.

We have always taken deep in
terest in the welfare of this town
and its business. We have talked
about it, wrote about it, and have
encouraged every enterprise both
with our paper and means that ever
located here. The Register has en-
couraged men to build good houses,
and has done all that a good news
paper having the welfare of its PEG
pie and its town at heart, could do.
If we ever received word of praise
for doing these things, or ever added
dime to our business, we are not
aware of it; but on the other hand
we have been called a fool, liar,
and the Lord knows what else, be-
cause of our zeal for the town. But
Notwithstanding all this the Regis
ter will still stand by, defend and
advocate the town, because it be-
lieves there is a great future before
it. 1t is with the people of this
town to say whether the town shall
remain as it is, or whether it shall
be pushed on the road to prosperity
and greatness. We will do our part,
whether the people do theirs, or not.
