Willow Streets Minor Notes.

The indications point to an early and
amicable settlement of all of the nine
teen trespass suits now pending
against the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey. These actions were brought
by property owners and tenants resid-
ing between South Washington avenue
and the river south of the Roaring
Brook to recover damages for injury
done by the floods of December, 1882.
1t is held that the railroad company
is responsible for the flooding because
II obstructed the channel of the river
and caused the water to rise until it
overfiowel the banks and flooded the
properties on the low lands adjoining
the river. One batch of suit against
the company for the flooding was set
tied about five years ago and for some
time past arrangements have been ac-
lively in progress for a settlement or
the pending suits.
AS announced in yesterdays Tribune
the plaintiffs in the suits held meet
ing i'm Central Park garden. As re-
suit of that meeting it is announced
that the following have decided to set
tie with the company: Thomas +.
O'Malley, OF Second street; Frank va
Gus, now a resident of Poland: Mrs.
Catharine Rempe, of South Washing
ton avenue; Jacob Klein, of South

ich, of South Washington avenue; Ad-
am Werlich, of South Washington ave-
nue., Domnick Mahon, of South wy

man, of South Wyoming avenue.

compromised will be paid over to them

He, with others, was enjoying them
selves immensely by coasting down
Garfield avenue towards Jackson street
starting at point above Price street.
The grade is quite steep and one goes
down with a dash. Albert went, and
had almost reached Jackson street
when a heavy coal wagon drove across
the intersection of the two streets. The
frightened lad turned out and struck
an iron hitching post head on. He lay
there unconscious for some time, his
companions thinking he was only
foolin' -. A passerby tried to rouse
him, and discovered his condition. The
boy was taken home and a physician
after hard work, brought him back to
consciousness. He will recover.

Doctors could do nothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
] will tell you about it:
had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped IL possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. I
said l would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. l still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.--MRs. b. A. ! oMBARD,

Hard on the tsOston Police,

The yarn that the downtown streets in
Boston were formerly COW paths and that
unless one be careful in keeping bearings
he Is liable to walk in circles, although
apparently walking straight ahead, must
be true, because 1t has been verified, says
the New York Times, 1t is to the effect
that stranger having asked a police
man to direct him to a certain place sew
eral blocks distant followed the direc-
tlons until he became bewildered. Seeing
a policeman he asked again to be directed
on his way, Confused again by not find
ing the place he again appealed to a po-
liceman.
Look here!" the policeman remarked,
emphatically, "if you ask me that ques-
tion again I'll run you in-see."
A stranger who inserted that story into
a description of his experiences in the
town recently was confused when a le-
putable gentleman of So years interrupted
him by saying that his experience i'm 1885
was similar, except that the person he
asked was not a policeman. Any yarn
that holds good for half century ought
to be believed.

He had voted for Mr. Lincoln, and want

FENDER WAS USEFUL.

The Scranton Traction fender proved
life saver yesterday morning. While
an inbound Peckvile car in charge of
Motorman Foy was nearing the square
a youth stood directly in its path
seemingly unmindful of the cars APP

the boy until the fender struck him
and threw him safely into the scoop.
The car was quickly brought to a

for a cash on the forehead. He refus-
