!, was taken to the Emergency Hospital a
| few weeks ago. with both legs cut off by
train and in an otherwise badly batter
cd condition, has fully recovered, in n
the miraculous manner, and will be dis

skull was fractured at the Wilkesbarre
Pier on Monday afternoon by fall into

slider the casa and decide whether or not
to trepine the skull.

At the meeting of the committee on the |
revision of the state constitution yester-
day, the subject of inserting provision !
to limit the amount of Indebtedness a |

been allowed to incur an Indebtedness
considerably In excess of this by special
