PROF. MUNYON'S REMEDY.
What a Representative of the Com pany

Has 10 Say About q.
The free distribution of Munyon's 9

frankness with which the newspapers
were requested to investigate it's mer-

personal supervision of Prof. Munyon.
who is today the foremost exponent Of
Homeopathy. Yesterday a reporter
for The Tribune interviewed the rep
resentative of the Munyon company.
YES" said he, ut is astonishing
what demand there is for the Munyon
Remedies. Every druggist in the city
has replenished his stock from one to
half dozen times during the past
four days, and yet some of them are
unable to meet the call for the remed-
les"
ITO what do you attribute this?" in
'terrupted the reporter.
Primarily to the virtue of the medi-
cines. We can honestly refer to over
100000 persons who have been cured
and whose unsolicited testimonials are
on file in our Philadelphia office. Again,
the public manner in which Prof. Mum
yon invites q test of his remedies natu-
rally creates confidence. No medicine
could be subjected to the investigation
which his have, and received such an
unanimous approval for their efficacy
both from press and public. Leading
papers throughout the United States
have endorsed them and In many in
stances have, at the request of the
Munyon company made a comparison
with the health statistics prior and SUBJ
sequent to our distributions, with the
result that 1t has shown the death rate
to have been materially reduced after
the introduction of the Munyon Reme-
dies. This may seem an exaggerated
statement. but the files OF the daily
papers of Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New
York, Boston. Chicago. Cincinnati, New

OLD MANS VIOLENT DEATH.
John Brown, of tho West Side, Fell Down
q Flight of steps and Broke His skull.
Boosted Of Health and Strength Only
Few Hours BE fore.

Few Hours Before.
Aged John Brown, who has lived to
see u years of life. fell down a flight
of steps ut the French roof hotel on
Washburn street yesterday afternoon
and was killed. His skull was frac-
tured. He was well known on the
West Side.
The steps are ten in number and
lead to the basement OF the hotel from
an entrance on the westerly side Of
the house. At about 3.45 o'clock Brown
attempted to descend into the cellar
but the snow had not been removed
and the aged unfortunate slipped and
fell head foremost u distance of about
ten feet. His head struck a fiagstone
which forms walk from the bottom
of the flight to the cellar, and the skull
was cracked to the length of about an
inch He lived for short time. but
when DIR. ii. G. Comegys examined the
wound a half hour afterward he stated
that Brown could not survive. Death
resulted after nearly an hours un-
consciousness.
Several children who were returning
from school at the time saw the mis-
hap. They informed the attaches of
the hotel and Brown was carried to the
sidewalk. He was stunned, but life
had not departed and medical assistance
was called. Brown was afterward
carried to his home at ia South Gar
field avenue. which is but short dis
tance from the hotel, and he died while
still unconscious.
He was entitled to q pension because
OF the death of his son John. who was
killed during the civil war. He re-
Ceived part of the money yesterday
morning and had bought with 1t several
glasses of beer

of which places the aged man pur-
chased beer, say that Brown was not
intoxicated ut the time OF the accident.
Despite his age. Brown often boasted
Of his perfect faculties and strength.
But a. few hours before the fatality he
was chatting with the people at his
home and said:
IN live decade longer. If I don't
die suddenly. and wouldn't like that.
When / die l want my family to be
around my bed" His words were re-
called last evening while q reporter for
The Tribune was conversing with the
relatives.
Coroner Longstreet will hold an in
quest at II o'clock this morning.
The funeral arrangements have not
been made.
The deceased was born in the County
Tyrone, Ireland. seventy-seven years
ago from the first day of the present
month. He came to America at the
age of q and for the greater part Of
that time has lived on the West Side.
He was docking boss at the old Drift"
breaker before that colliery was aban-
doned and the breaker burned to the
ground. He was PrOtestan by
faith and was q church member. Mrs..
Alice Kelley and James Brown, Of the

RESCUE MISSION WORK.
Report Of the 1898 Committse Shows
How Close the Mission Csme to Being
Discontinued d-Hopes for the Future.

Discoutinued-Hopes for the Future.
The report of the 1895 committee read
at Tuesday nights fourth anniversary
meeting of Rescue Mission converts Is
presented below. The report Is encour-
aging for that element which likes to
see charitable work succeed. and is es-
pecially gratifying to the liberal men
and women whose generous giving has
made possible the continuance of the
mission for another year. although the
work was on the verge of dissolution
because of lack of funds. Following is
the report.
To Friends and Patrons Of the Mission:
That the Scranton mission has been
wonderfully blessed during the past year
is evidenced by the hearty response OF the
citizens Of this city to the appeals OF the
committee.
Burdened as We were with large debt
at the besinnlnE Of the year. and with
scarcely ray OF hope on which to build
our faith, We close the fourth year in
the history OF the mission with fund
pledged and sufficiently large to carry on
the work for the present year.
While the pledge made 10 the commit
tee by the pastors of the central ch urches
at a conference held Dec. 10. 1884. assuring
them tina, the church would not allow
the work TO fail for lack of financial sup
port, was. we believe. made In good faith,
yet II would have been necessary TO close
the mission on Dec. 81. 1885. had not the
committee taken the matter again In
hand and by hard and laborious work
and with the blessing or GOD secured
pledges sufficient to carry on the work
for 1886. and further pledges applicable
to the debt. that encourage the comlnittce
in the belief that by the close of this
year the debt viii he entirely wiped out.
The sniritual affairs of the mission have
been efficiently and faithfully conducted
by the worthy superintendent and his
wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Sanborn. The result
of their work has been very gratifying to
the committee, and those who have re-
ceived a hearty welcome at all times and
have felt the warm handciasp of Mr.. ana
Mrs. Sanborn as they entered the room.
can but feel that the Scranton mission is
but q place Of peace and rest. And at the
same time when 1t seemed almost neces-
sary to close the n'ssicn for the want or
financial support. Mr.. SarbOrn never lost
faith. but ct ell tsr'~s insisted that so'"e
way would he fourd to carr on the work.

uoirtenance furd for 1896 was held in the
