DAMAGES AWARDED
MRS. LUXEMBERGER
A Verdict Of $500 Against the Scran.
ton Traction Company.
ANOTHER SUIT AGAINST COMPANY
II Was Called After the Luxemberger
Case..Miss Bridget O'ConnOr, of
Taylor, Is the Plaintiff. .Verdicts
Were Taken in Five Suits..COurt
Will Convene This Morning at $50.

Mrs. Mary Luxemberger was awarded
verdict of $1,000 against the Scranton
Traction company for the injuries she
received on Jan 6, 1894, in an accident
in which Taylor street car jumped
the track on the grade below the Round
Woods. Her husband, Peter Luxem-
berger, sued the company for damages
on account of her injuries. necessitating
expense for medical attendance, etc.
and he was awarded $500. The two ac-
tiOns were tried together. The total
verdict is $500 more than the amount the
Traction company offered to pay the
plaintiffs without going to trial.
Another suit against the Traction
company was then called before Judge
Archibald. Miss Bridget Connors. of
Taylor, Is the plaintiff and her attOr-
neys are Hon. John p. Kelley and Jo-
seph O'Brien. Horace E. Hand, and ex-
Judge W. H. Jessup represent the COM
pany. Miss Connors Is 20 years old. On
april 2. 1894, about O'clock in the af-
ternoon she was a passenger on a Tay-
lor car inward bound.
When the car left the Robinson street
switch on the West Side. it jumped the
track and rolled down the 5-foot en-
bankment to Ninth street. She was
thrown violently against the side of the
car and sustained an injury which has
since left her in poor physical condition.
HER PHYSICIANS TESTIMONY.
DIR. William Haggerty was her prin-
cipal witness, and he testified that for
three months after the accident he at
tended her daily. then his visits be-
came fewer, about every other day, and
after she got around so as to be able
to walk out she has visited his office
twice a week for treatment. 1t is pos
sible that in time she may fully re-
cover. but not very probable, he said,
that she will ever become fully re-
stored.
On the part Of the defendant Motor
man Joseph De Nike. who was in
charge Of the car, testified that all due
diligence was observed by him, and that
1t was an unavoidable accident. Drs,
N. Y. Leet. w. l.. Allen and ]. E.
OBrien were sworn as experts to prove
that the trouble of which the plaintiff
is suffering could be caused by some
other reason than the accident. Mr.
Kelley, in cross-eXamining DR.
O'Brien, asked him whether or not he
is an expert witness for the company
The doctor answered that he has been
called a half dozen times to testify In
two years. The case will be resumed al
$50 this morning. Miss Connors asks
damages in the sum Of $4,000.

Divorce and Insanity.

Edgar Saltus, writer OF novels who
wants to be called a generator" and
not degenerate, has discovered that
statistics compiled by the Germans
show that insanity Is ten times as fire.
quent among divorced people Of either
sex, as among either those who have
remained in a state of single blessed
ness or have acquired the state of mar
ital happiness. From this, Mr.. Saltus
argues, that divorces not only wreck
the home. but sometimes wreck the in
tellect. Human affections are pro-
foundry mysterious; the ties that asso-
eiatlon weaves are enigmatic realities:
and when, through caprice, folly or
sin, they are trampled on, 1t is nature
that Furnishes and the killing Of love
becomes the killing of reason" Mr..
Saltus' phrases sound pretty, but they
are the veriest nonsense, written for
the purpose of making copy. 1t is q
deliberate putting of the cart before
the horse. The German statistics only
prove that 1t Is people who are not
perfectly sound mentally who marry
people they cannot live with happily
ever afterward. Sane people have
sense enough to marry compatible
companion. and grit enough to grin
and bear IL" II they make mistake.

An Imaginary Illness.

Physicians very often meet with peo-
pie who are carrying around lmagin-
airy ailments and who really believe
themselves as badly afflicted as they
assert Some curious cases have been
noted.
A lady had been confined to her bed
many months with an illness which
wholly deprived her of the use of her
lower limbs. The doctor who attend
ed her failed to discover the nature
of the affection, which might ordinarily
have been attributable to several caus-
es. Examination, however, revealed
nothing calculated to throw light on
the matter, and the doctor, after pa
tient and exhaustive analysis and at
tentlon, came to the conclusion that
the Illness was imaginary.
Although he discreetly kept this opin-
ion to himself proof was eventually
forthcoming as to the accuracy Of
his view. Being lifted in the sheets
out OF her bed one aay. while the mat
tress was rearranged, the lady sur
prised her attendants by suddenly
jumping from the couch on which she
had been placed, with a loud express
sion of alarm. 1t was discovered that
she had been laid upon a needle cush-
ion inadvertently left ON the sofa, and
that the sharp points Of several needles
had pressed violently into her back
The contretemps revealed the fact that
she could stand easily

Seems to Flow Up Hill.

The historic Welaka River the mod
ern st. Johns, Is to the stranger one
of the most Interesting rivers on the
American continent. 1t is unique in
many particulars which go to make up
a river. Finding Its source in the far
South. II flows northward for nearly all
Its length until, reaching the metropolis
of Florida, il turns eastward and pours
Its great valume of waters into the
ocean. This fact seems the more
strange since the universal opinion
prevails that the extreme south is low
and fiat. and would leave the impress
sion that the river ran up hill as 1t
cuts It's way through the much higher
lands of the northern boundary. This.
however, Is a minor point of interest
compared with the wild appearance 1t
presents to the eye of the stranger as
first he beholds 1t, with its sombre
Expresses, almost awakening supersti-
ton, and the swamp hickory, with its
peculiar foliage and small but rich
sweetnut, upon which the far-famed
razor-backed hog and the beautiful
gray squirrel feast in profound silence,
but doubtless with voracious appetite.

hand conveys an Idea of vastness of

the stately palmetto, on which are

sea-going and river, make their way
up and down the majestic stream,
these turn their beautiful cup-shaped
flowers, white as snow. toward the
coming king of day, sparkling with
dewdrops.
The broad savannas occasionally lie
apparently almost on the level of the
river itself. On these queer formations
abound wild flowers of every hue,
shape and botanical order, making one
vast picture, framed In the surround
ing forests, enlivened all over with
birds of every hue and sweet song,
while the strong, green growths pre-
sent a tropical vigor of life which is
really an inspiration to health and

Watering Cows.

Now that the time for putting up cows
has come some thoughts on how they
are to be supplied with water will be in
order. AS might be expected, cows
giving milk need much more water
than Other domestic animals, for 50
per cent of their milk Is water, besides
other secretions of liquid from the
body. 1t Is a mistake to suppose that
cows having access to water at all
times will drink more than Is for their
good, put II deprived of 1t half day
and then allowed to drink of cold wat
er, they will often through thirst take
so much as to injure digestion, the
water having to be warmed before the

be warmed to nearly, or quite, blood

hens, even In those of the same breed.

brood, as they are often too sluggish

too active for the little chicks, even

hens are quarrelsome, and XIII or in
jure the chicks from other broods that

hen is found that seems designed by
nature TO raise family She is a good
sitter, careful brooder, and easy to
handle. All the chicks In the yard

out fear of injury She may be of lit

owner keeps her from year to year as

TOPICS FOR FARMERS
a DEPARTMENT PREPARED FOR
OUR RURAL FRIENDS.
Farm Life Full of Independent Com
fort-Be Cautious in Making Changes
Cultivate the Social Features of
Life on the Farm-Notes,
Full of Independence.


We believe the farmer, who produces
the good things Of earth, is entitled
to enjoy them to the full extent of his
need. Farm life IL potentially very
full of Independent comfort, but only
upon condition that the farmer shall
devote a fair share of his time to the
task of making himself and family
comfortable. 1t is surprising, when
one thinks Of IT. how very little Of the
necessities OF life the farmer is obliged
to buy, as compared with the amount
that he actually does buy. He might
have table covered with fruits, veg
etables and meats, all grown within
the limits of his own farm, and of a
quality and freshness that Is not pos
sible with the people living In towns
and cities. Like all good things, 1t re-
quires some effort to do this, and yet
II Is easily possible. The garden is one
point; the orchard, of both tree-fruits
and small-fruits, is another, and his
own feed lot is still another, of the
sources OF liberal supply. They ought
to be cultivated and made the most Of.

ahe Was n Heroine.

Among party of young men and
women who were taking an evening
ramble the other day near the village
of Clandy, In County Derry, was a
young man from Belfast who had come
TO marry Derry girl, one Of the party.
In crossing the River Faughan by
wooden bridge he missed his footing
and fell into twenty feet of water. In
vain the distracted girl besought the
men around to rescue him, but no
one was willing to court an almost
certain death. AS he rose to the sur
face for the third and last time she
leaped into the river herself and,
clutching her now exhausted lover with
one hand, swan with great difficulty
to the river side, where willing hands
received them both.
