How often you hear the unfortunate victim Of
depressing stomach and liver troubles cry out in
vain for relefl There are no diseases 70 far
,eaching in their effects, and depressing to the
constitution as diseases of these organs, and all
our mental and bodily ills in the absence of organic
diseases are directly and easily traceable to func-
tion disorders of either or both the Stomach and
Liver. One is rarely involved in disease without
the other, and then the entire system succumbs TO
a train OF symptoms not only perplexing TO the
physician but source of apprehension and fear to
the sufferer.

Measure In council tomorrow night tnat
will be Of great interest to the CITY,
and particularly to the North End sec
tion.
City Engineer Phillips has prepared
an estimate of the cost of q viaduct
over the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western tracks at Trips crossing, ana
finds that the Improvement can De pro-
vided OF a cost Of $4,000. The feature
of the legislation that Mr.. McAndrews
will shape in connection with this VIA
duct tomorrow night, is this: The
Scranton Traction company and the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad company have agreed to stand
all but one eighth of the expense. That
fraction must be paid by the city.
When such a valuable and much de-
sired Improvement can be secured at
SO little expense to the city, 1t is quite
certain that the proposition will meet
with favor. Councilman McAndrew
has carried on the negotiations and has
definite promise of the Willingness OF
the two companies to share seven
eighths of the cost, or $l7,50O each. The
city will need to provide for an outlay
| Of only $1,000 The only proviso I'm the
bargain is that all traffic must go over

included in his $4,000 estimate the

ing certain matters under advisement
and will not be prepared to make any
statement concerning the appointments
until tomorrow afternoon, and probably
not then"
Four police appointments are to be
submitted with the intention of filling
the offices of chief. captain, lieutenant,
and patrolman. All will be named as
patrolmen, as the law provides against
man being appointed to the chief
| fancy or the other offices who has not

dismissal will be sent in tomorrow

George G. Mahy, Secretary Young Men

Dear Sir:--Why spend $500 or $500 OF the

be an occasion Of considerable satisfac,

are asked to express their desire either
in person or by writing to General Sec

THE POWER OF LIGHTNING.
One Bolt known to Have Equallcd 10000
Horse POwcr.

1t is no doubt interesting to express
the force of stroke of lightning in
horse power. During q recent storm
which passed over Klausthal, a bolt
struck a wooden column in dwelling,
and in the top Of this column were
two wire nails, 5-32 inch diameter. The
electric fluid melted the two nails in
stantly. To melt iron in this short time
would be impossible in the largest fur
ace now In existence, and 1t could only
he ACCOMPLISHED with the aid Of cleo
tricity. but a curren. Of 200 amperes
and a potential of 10000 volts would be
necessary.
This electric force for one second rep
resents 5000 horse power but as the
lightning accomplished the melting In
considerably less time, say one-tenth
Of a second. 1t follows that the bolt
| was so.CO0 horse power.
