DIsTREssNeLY UNFORTUNATE.
Ex-County Commissioner Bowes Suffers
from a Era ctnred ThinI,


Ex-County Commissioner James j. Bowes
met with serious accident at his place of
business, on North Main street, Saturday af-
ternoon and is now patient at the Miners
hospital in Fountain Springs. He will in all
probability be obliged TO remain there for
many weeks rs he is suffering from frac-
ture OF the right thigh, which was sustained
by fall
The exact circumstances bearing upon the
accident are not known, as there appears to
have been no witnesses and Mr.. Bowes has
not been able to give clear account of the
occurrence. His health has been failing for
many months and this has had the effect of
clouding his mind to some extent Mrs.
Bowes says she was at the rear of the saloon
when she heard the noise of a fall. Upon
Fastening to the front entrance she found
her husband PROSTATE across the door sill
Mr. Bowes is a stalwart man and his wife
and her sister were unable to assist him, but
did so with the aid of gentleman who
happened to pass the place. Dr. d. J..
Langton was called and after an examna-
tiOn he stated that Mr.. Bowes had sustained
clear fracture of the right thigh and his
right arm was badly bruised In view of the
infrmity from which Mr.. Bowes suffers and
the serious nature of the injuries sustained
by the fall DIR. Langton recommended that
the patient be sent to the Miners hospital.
In this the family conceded and Mr.. Bowes
was taken to the institution Saturday even
ing He is said to be doing as well as can be
expected under the circumstances He was
visited by Mrs. Bowes yesterday.
The friends of the ex-County Commits
siOner are apprehensive as to the result of
his injuries. For several weeks his mental
condition has become so much impaired by
failing health as to cause frequent reports of
his removal to a retreat which, however,
have been without foundation. For some
time past he has been taking much rest and
his exercise has been limited to strolls on the
mountain and about town with his children.

newly cut pine are all embodied in Dr.

remedy for coughs and colds, and lung

Tamaqua Light Question.

A bill of complaint was presented to court
to-day by Solicitor John o. Ulrich, against
the Borough of Tamaqua and the Edison
Illuminating Company. The latter corpora
tion entered into a contract with the bor-
ough to light the streets at a yearly cost of
S6,OO0 payable in monthly installments of
$500. The contract is for five years The
complaint sets forth that the contract is
invalid in that no ordinance was passed by
the Council giving such authority; that a
large majority of the voters of the borough
favored increasing the borough indebtedness
900 for the purpose of erecting a borough
electrical plant; that this vote was taken
previous to the contract complained of, and
that it was the duty of the Town Council
to carry into execution the instructions of
the voters that, therefore, the Council be
restrained by injunction from entering into
any contract with said company or carrying
out the conditions of any contract already
entered into
