THIS AND THAT.

DR.. N 4. Newbury, senior house sur
eeon at the Lackawanna hospital, will re-
tire from that position the latter part
OF this month, when his year will nave
expired. The rules of the hospital will
not permit a physician TO remain there
longer than that period. During the first
six months he is junior house surgeon
and during the last half of his year he
carries the title and responsibilities of
senior house surgeon. Dr. Newborry is am
bilious and studious with a natural apt-
tude for his profession and is we'll fitted
to win laurels for himself wherever he
begins the practice of medicine after his
retirement from the Lackawanna hos
pital. He came here one year ago from
his home in Jersey City, almost imme-
diately after completing his medical stud
les and has won many warm friends
among those with whom he has come in
contact since his residence here. lie will
be succeeded as senior house surgeon by
DR.. Webb. the present junior surgeon.
The latter position will be filled by DIR.
John r. Courser, who several years ago
won much renown as a fast bicycle pro-
peller. Three years ago he raced under
the colors of the Scranton Bicycle club.
Thomas ]. Gildea, of Archibald, is again
a justice of the peace. He was recently
commissioned by Governor Hastings and
Saturday in court he qualified and was
of fiVe years. Mr.. Gidea has been a JUS
tice of the peace in Archibald for years
and the stories that are told OF his ad-
ministration of justice would make an
interesting volume. His hOnor's court
was noted for the absence of red tape
and the strong common sense that per-
vaded his decisions. Last February he
was a candidate for reelection hut
through a Misunderstanding his name
did not appear on the ticket and his OPP
ponent. a man named Dougher, was elect
ed. Then Gildea bethought him that
Archibald was entitled TO another justice
and he prepared a petition and had it
presented to Governor Hastings who ap-
pointed him. Several years ego the
Squire created a sensation by appearing
among the dudes in the Hoffman house
cafe during a severe April snow storm at
