NORTH SCRANTON.
Two New Churches.

Two congregations in this end took
preliminary STEPS towards the erection
of new churches yesterday. The first
was that of the North Main avenue
Baptist church. After dismissing the
congregation at the morning service
q short business session was held, at
which the advisability of erecting a
new edifice was discussed. Action on
the matter, however. was deferred
until this evening when it will be de-
cided whether it will be better to
build on the site of the present church
or to secure another location. The
church as it now stands was erected
thirteen years ago. When Rev. w. G.
Watkins, present pastor, took charge
about six years ago, he found it heav-
lily encumbered with debt, but by his
energetic and untiring efforts the last
vistage of debt was swept away some
time past. His eloquent discourses
have attracted large congregations and
the attendance has reached such a
mark that it was found almost i'm
possible to seat them.
The second congregation was that ot
the Welsh Congregational. Nothing de-
finite was decided upon at yesterday s
meeting, but it can be stated authori-
tatively that a new edifice will be
built in the near future. The prob
abilities are that a centrally located
site will be procured.

RELATIVES HAVE A FIGHT.

Mark Coyne was arraigned before AL
derman Ruddy, Saturday night charged
with assault and battery and attempt
ing to kill his brother-in-law, Martin
Corbett, who was too badly injured to
appear and in his absence Mrs. Cor
bett was present at the hearing and
gave testimony against her brother.
She stated that the defendant and a
friend, James Corcoran, visited her
home Saturday and after much pleas
ant chatting her brother suggested that
a pail of beer be sent for, and he offered
his services to go for the beverage.
The suggestion and the invitation We're
accepted. Accordingly, Corbett went to
n nearby saloon and soon returned with
the beer. All partook of 1t, and with
out any cause her brother ordered his
friend from her home, and to be agree
able Corcoran left.
Coyne became indignant at the au-
dacity of his brother-in-law and COM
manded him to leave his house. A
quarrel and tussle was the outcome
and both men landed in the yard and
began battle royal, and in the con-
flict Coyne seized a good-sized stone
and numerically beat his opponent
Several gashes in Corbett's head and
face were inflicted and his right hand
was chewed. Alderman Ruddy held
Coyne in $1,000 bail. L. p. Williams
qualified as his bondsman.

Carlsbad Water
a Natural Alternative

Carlsbad Water is in no sense
a mere purgative, as most people
believe, but is an Alternative and
eliminative remedy, which dis
solves tenacious bile, allays irrita-
ton and removes obstruction by
aiding nature, and not by sudden
and excessive stimulation, as most
cathartic remedies do. Its action
is certain and a cure when effected
is permanent. Not infrequently
patients have to use the Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt, in addition to the
water, as laxative.
Beware of limitations. The gen.
uine Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of "Eisner & Mendelson
Co., sole agents, New York." on
every label.

awanna avenue, near the Central Rail-
road Of New Jersey depot, about 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon, witnessed
bold attempt at highway robbery,
which dumbfounded them and gave the
would-be highwayman his needed op-
portunity to escape. The gentleman
upon whom the attempt was made is
Passenger Agent J. S. Swisher, of the
Central road. He was waiting for a
street car to carry him to his residence
on South Main avenue, and drew his
purse from his pocket to take the
amount of his fare. He was thus en-
gagged when dark, forbidding-looking
individual who was passing by. tried to
seize the purse.
With a quick backward swing OF his
left hand, Mr.. Swisher knocked the
fellow from his feet. Before he could
be detained, the thief scrambled to his
feet, rushed across the bridge and dis
appeared along Cliff street.

TRUCK LEFT THE RAILS.

The Scranton Traction company has
experienced considerable trouble lately
with the large vestibuled cars used in
its service. Yesterday afternoon about
lao o'clock an accident happened to
Car 1903, of this class, which was inward
bound, in charge of Conductor Daniels
and Motorman Bunnell. The scene of
the accident was on the grade on West
Lackawanna avenue, just above the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
crossing. The car, as is the custom,
was brought to a standstill at the head
of the grade, where a sharp cure leads
off Ninth street onto West Lackawan-
ma avenue. In running out of the turn
into the straight line the rear truck
left the track and ran along on the
Belgian blocks with which the street is
paved. The truck fortunately moved
in a parallel line with the rails, though
about two feet outside of them, and the
car Travelled for some distance in this
way before it could be stopped.
The wreck car was soon on the scene
and the truck replaced. A delay of
about forty-five minutes occurred, but
the passengers of the cars moving in
both directions were transferred.
