TURNPIKE MUDDLE.
City Will Take Chances and Repair
the Providence and Abing.
ton Turnpike.

Messrs. Roche, Lansing and Manley
of the special committee appointed to
look after the Abingdon Turnpike case,
met last night in the city clerks Of
flee and passed a resolution directing
Mr.. Roche who is chairman of the COM
mittee, to confer with Attorney S. +.
Price with a view to get an opinion
from the latter as to whether the city
owns the part of the turnpike within
its limits: if so what steps are necessary
to establish such ownership, and if it
does not own the road, how to get pos
session of it at the earliest possible
moment.
While the committee was deliberating
a meeting of common council was in
session and the following communica-
ton was read from Mayor Bailey:
TO the Honorable the Select and Common
Councils of the City of Scranton.
Gentlemen: The Scranton and Abingdon
Turnpike company informs me that the
portion of the Abingdon turnpike within
the city limits needs immediate repairs,
and having called the attention of Mr..
C. r. Kinsley, street commissioner to the
matter, he says that on account of ex-
tcnsive travel on said turnpike it would
be well to put it in good condition at once.
I therefore recommend that an appro-
priation of not exceeding $3.50 be pro-
vided for improving said turnpike at the
earliest possible date.
Yours very respectfully,
James q. Bailey, Mayor.
After lengthy discussion it was re-
ferred to the streets and bridges COM
mittee with instructions to bring in an
ordinance providing for the appropria-
ton.
The communication was the result
of a conference in the mayors office
yesterday morning among the mayor,
Street Commissioner kinSley, City Con-
troller Robinson and Attorney S. B.
Price. Mr. Price is special attorney for
the city in the case. He stated that
the company, as his opinion. has for
feited its charter and cannot legally
collect toll. as the turnpike is now less
than two miles long. The supreme
court has decided that toll cannot h.
collected on q road less than three
miles long.
The Scranton Traction company is
anxious to extend it's line out West
Market street. 1t had Il charter for a
road along the route. but it has expired.
The charter can be renewed If the COM
pany can get the right of way from
councils. General Manager Silliman is
willing tn share the eXpensc of grad
ing and paving the street provided the
property owners consent Councilman
Grier is of the opinion that the owners
are not ready yet to assume this i'm
provement. and as far as they are con-
cerned that it will suit them better to
defer grading and paving for a few
years. They are anxious enough for
street car service, but do not want
the burden of expense that il would
entail

BROWNS GREAT CURES.

The Michigan Healer Much Sought by thc
 Sick and Suffering.
 The wonderful cures effected by the Owosso healer. Edward T. Brown, seem no less miraculous than the work of the famous Schlatter Brown was formerly employed as foreman of one of the de- partments by the Owosso Manufacturing company, but was obliged to give up his position because of the number of applications he received daily from the afflicted
 He is an unassuming young man not yet 30 years of age, and by his mysteri- ous power has already cured numerous cases of neuralgia, rheumatism and sick headache, together with two cases of insanity, one of which had been case of two years standing.
 Brown attributes all his success to faith, and, like other faith headers, effects all his cures by taking the patients by the hand and assuring them that they will be afflicted no longer. His list of cures is rapidly increasing, and those who have consulted him thus far, most ly people of this city, are loud in their praise of his power to relieve the sick. Chicago Times-Herald.
