BONDS ARE ALL RIGHT.
Supreme Court Reverses Judge Gunster
with Regard TO Olyphant Borough
Trouble History of Case.

ELEPHANTS electric light bonds are
all right. The Superior court yester-
day handed down a decree in the cele-
brated case of Gallagher and others
against the borough of Olyphant re-
versing Judge Gunster and setting
aside the decree.
In 1892 the borough Of Olyphant erect
ed an electric light plant and in 1894
the councils decided that a larger plant
was necessary. The matter was sub
mitted to the taxpayers at an election
and they were found to favor the pro-
ject and work on the plant was imme
diately begun. The Scranton Supply
and Machinery company was given the
contract for the machinery. Spruks
Bros. for the building and the General
Electric company for the dynamos.
r. J. Gallagher and Dominick How
ard, two members of the borough coun-
Gil, and j. M. Schenck, a defeated bid
der for the contract to construct the
building succeeded in securing an in
junction from Judge Gunster restrain
ing the borough from issuing the SIS, 900
worth of bonds designed to pay for the
improvements, their grounds for COM
plant being that the borough was pro-
the appropriate and necessary ordi-
nances.
The ordinances were passed, the con-
tracts Rewarded and the work recon-
menced. The injunction was dissolved
and the bonds regularly sold, Edwin c.
Jones, of New York, purchasing them
and selling them later to Mrs. Fanny
NJ. Massey, of Philadelphia.
tn T,,1,r
handed down the Sener case decision
declaring that by the act of 1895 a bor-
ough could not increase it's indebted
ness beyond 2 per cent. of the assessed
valuation. 1t had formerly been per
cent, but, it is claimed, through a
clerical error the omission of one par
ticular line from the act the maximum
limit was changed, although it was
never so intended by the law makers.
Following the ruling in the Sener
case Jundge Gunster declared the Oily
prant bonds invalid as their issuance
caused the borough Indebtedness to ex-
ceed the prescribed 2 per cent. of the
assessed valuation.
The matter was appealed to the Su-
preme court, Hon. c. p. O'Malley, the
borough attorney, and Major Everett
Warren, of Warren & Knapp, arguing
for the bonds, and Attorney Ira II.
Burns for their assailants.
Yesterdays decision also directs that
the costs should be equally divided be-
tween the plaintiffs and the borough Of
Olyphant.
Regardless of the Supreme court de-
cison the borough was destined to
victory as new bill was recently
passed and now awaits the governor s
signature changing the limit of in
debtedness back to its original figure,
Z ger cent, and validating bonds
which the per cent. clause the act
of 1895 had nullified.
1t is the intention of the borough
council to proceed at once with the
completion of the electric light plant
and also to straighten out other
tangles, which were consequent upon
this muddle and which have worked
greatly to the hurt of the borough.

The Story Of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., IL. D.,
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
Of physicians, which for several gener-
ations has furnished moro distin-
guished medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, Of which he was for
thirty years o conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and the method
Of making extensions Of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. r. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor Of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College;
while DR.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including new and
unique mode Of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening Of abb
scess ut hip-joint, etc., etc.
At the early age Of twenty-four his
extraordinary skill and success in over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention Of medical men through
out the world, and won for him tho
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery of an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing In permanent form what has be-
come known as his "prize formula" )"
and which, under tho name of Puri-
tana, Is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists Of simple
New England roots and he rbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
seconded to the long line Of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered 1t necessary to brew 1t
whenever needed in the early days of
Its history, and after the scattering of
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put 1t up in permanent
form, all OF which failed until DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
tho result Of which is: Natures Cure
compounded In tho laboratory OF
Common Sense.
