1T WAS A FALSE ALARM.
AT Least Nothing Resembling What
Was Reported Could BE Found.

Last night about s o'clock somewhat
of a commOtion was made by the re-
port that the body of a man had been
seen floating in the Roaring Brook, by
a pedestrian on the Spruce street
bridge. A crowd collected and for a
long time a couple of hundred pairs of
eyes Deered over the railing into the
water below trying to make out in the
blackness the form of a man or some
thing approaching it,
A searching party with headlight,
borrowed from a passing street car,
secured the banks of the river but found
nothing resembling the object of their
quest. Chief of Police RObling and
Lieutenant Davis We're also on the
ground but the river refused to give up
anything even to them. If the moon
had been shining and the bosom of the
brook placid one might be led to believe
that the man who gave the alarm was
floating" and mistOOk his own renec-
tion for what he reported. p. S.-The
moon was shining last night and the
bosom of the brook is placid just at
that point.

NO ARRESTS WERE MADE.
NJ. II. Fadden Has Something to Say
About That Alleged Fight.


Contrary to Constable Richard Bar
ron's expressed intention he did not
cause the arrest of Hotelkeeper James
Twiss, of Priceburg, and M. f. Fadden,
the owner of the hotel building, yester
day. on the charge of promoting a prize
fight. On the previous night the con-
stable and several officers visited Twiss'
hotel and alleged that they put a stop
to a prize fight after three rounds had
been fought. Arrests We're to follow
yesterday. When seen by a Tribune
reporter yesterday Mr.. Fadden said:
mo / have not been arrested and
will not be. That threat of arrest was
simply a bit of spite work on Consta
ble Barron's part. Thursday evening
| was told that Barron contemplated
a raid on Twiss' hotel and as 1 am the
owner of the building l was naturally
anxious to know what was being done
that would warrant such action on the
part of the constable. L went to see
TWiss and asked him for an eXplana-
ton. He told me that he expected
number of friends at his place that
evening and as means of entertaining
them had secured the services of two
Scranton boxers who We're to have
friendly bout with gloves. AS that sort
of entertainment is permitted every
where l had no objection to offer as
was positively assured that nothing in
the way of a finish fight was contem-
plated.
while we were talking Barron and
number of thugs entered the place and
created the only disturbance that took
place during the evening. AT this time
the men had not donned their gloves
or struck a blow and the assertion that
there rounds had been fought is wholly
incorrect. The whole affair was en-
gineered by Barron to crafty a per-
sonal spite and injure the house."

cry one of the many startling climaXes
being followed with warm applause.
Grace Sherwood assumes the title
role and Harry Binsley, John DAILY
and Mart j. Cody and Nellie Lindroth
the other principal characters. The
scenic and stage effects We're of un-
usual excellence. Among the settings
were the BoWery at night showing
Grand street elevated station, the Pal
isades on the Hudson and the house
tops of New York with a view of the

Vokers, in the way of a climax. The
production will be repeated this after

The incalculable amount of good that
Pane's celery compound is doing in max
ing sick and even despairing people well,
should compel the attention of every jul
dicious person who is out-of-health.
The underlying cause of nervous debil-
ity, apparent in headaches, dyspepsia,
sleeplessness and neuralgia, is faulty nu-
triton of the entire nervous system.
So long as the blood is pale, watery and
hampered by bad humors the nerves can
not assimilate from it's proper nourish-
ment, no matter how much food is taken
into the system. Paines celery compound
arouses a hearty appetite, regulates the
bowels and brings about normal action
of the liver. 1t economies the eXpendi-
ture of nerve force and makes the blood
a healthy medium capable of conveying
nutriment to all the vital organs.
This is the sweeping and thorough man
ner in which Paines celery compound
frees the system not only of rheumatism,
eczema, salt rheum and other diseases
due to impure blood; but also of neural
gia, sleeplessness and nervous headaches
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-02-20

and dyspepsia that are brought about by
a "run-down' state of the nerves.
The use of Paines celery compound
makes all the difference between impure
sluggish blood and tired nerves; and
healthy, energetic bodily condition.
Writing from his home, University
Place, Neb., on Dec 9, Prof. j. w. Shu-
bert said:
Il am brought back to health through
the use of Paines celery compound
which I regard as by far the best and
really the only true remedy for nervous
troubles that | have ever used. | do not
hesitate after my experience and that of
several friends to recommend it for all
forms of nerve troubles. | am indebted
to Paine's celery compound for many a.
good nights rest, and If it produces no
other effect than this, it is worth more
than money
Paine's celery compound, upon which so
much praise has been bestowed and
which the wealthy and those in the high
est positions unhesitatingly endorse, is
lily in the land.
