Mr.. MAHON SURPRISED.
Former Attache of GOldsmith's
Bazaar HOnored by the EMPLOYEES.

Last night John r. Mahon, ex-book-
keeper and confidential man at Gold
smiths Bazaar, received genuine sur
prise. The employees of that establish
ment with which Mr.. Mahon was con-
nected for several years, desired to
show their appreciation of the gentle
men who had kept their accounts and
paid their salaries so regularly and of
the courteous manner in which he had
treated them all, formed themselves
into a small brigade. They marched to
Mr.. Mahon's new and cosy residence,
corner of Harrison avenue and Linden
street, and took possession of the prem
ises.
Mr. Mahon and his family were COM
pletely surprised over this unexpected
intrusion. Mr.. Mahon was presented

Court Crier William X. Taylor, Of the
Superior court, has just completed an
interesting compilation showing the
growth of the business before the su-
perior court and comparing 1t with
that done by the supreme court. That
the new tribunal is fulfilling it's mis-
sion. the figures most emphatically
prove. Last year nearly half of the
1,3o0 appeals that came from the local
courts were disposed of by the new
appellate branch.
The appended table shows how the
work of the supreme court increased in
period of twenty years and then
compare the business of the supreme
and superior courts for two years, 1896
and 1897, the first two years of the ex-
istence of the latter court. The coll
umns of figures indicate the number
of appeals taken from each county:

Henry Fritz was arrested for drunk

Patrolman Karius took him to the
police station Fritz's best friend, a
small white and black licked mongrel

In the morning Mayor Bailey fined

FIFTEEN YEAR OLD BURGLAR,
Albert Ziviski Stole IA Gun, IL is Said,
and Was Jailed For il

Fifteen-year-old Albert Ziviskie, was
committed to the county Jail by Squire
Gilday, of Archibald, yesterday in de-
fault of bail on a charge of burglary.
The burglary" it appears, was this
way: John Tomkosky, a neighbor OF
the Zwiskie family, had a gun and a
few weeks ago the 15-year-old boy en-
tered the house and in a boyish prank
took the weapon.
Tomkosliy, accordingly, took offense
and had young Zwiskie arrested. His
parents could hot furnish security for
rhe sons appearance at court, and
Squire Gilday sent him behind the
bars.

Both branches of councils were to
have met last evening, the select in
special and the common in regular ses-
sion, but quorum of the former failed
to appear The commoners were in
session about an hour and disposed of
much business of considerable import.
Eids for constructing the Seventeenth
district main sewer on the South Side
were received and referred to commit
tee as follows: Il. S. Williams, $4,000.
extra basins 800, manholes $50; Flana-
gan e O'Hora, S2.s3 per lineal foot,
basins $S5, manholes$i0; V. II. O'Hara,

Bros, S263 per lineal foot, manholes
$50, basins s6j.
from the city engineer was received
the following communication in refer
ence to the paving of Carbon street:
In answer to the resolution of councils
requesting plans. specifications and es-
innate of cost for repaving Carbon street
from Penn avenue to the Lackawanna
river with asphalt and brick; also to
make suggestions as to changing the
present grade, L will make the follow
ing statements:
The question of proper grade for this
street was before councils several times
in the years of 1SSS and 1889. on the ac-
companying tracing, shown by a green
line, is the grade recommended by this
department in 1888 (Mr. f. +. Blewitt
being the city engineer) but for some
reason hard to understand from an en-
gineerng or any other standpoint, the
councils insisted and did adopt by, ordi-
nance in 1889 the grade shown by the red
line. The street was graded and paved
to this line in 1891 and 1892 and since then
the cross streets have been graded, curbs
set and sidewalks laid, sewers construct
ed and valuable buildings erected to cor
respond with the established grade;
hence | do not consider it wise to recon-
mend any change in the grade lines.
IS FORTY FEET WIDE.
AS the built-up portion of this street is
40 feet wide between fences, divided as
follows: Two 6-foot walks and one 90
foot roadway, l would suggest that steps
be taken to make this street of a uniform
width of 40 feet out to Penn avenue, and
remove those unsightly piers that are
built at right angles and standing in
about the middle of the street. This
would improve the appearance of this
entrance to the central city very much.
The estimates for paving are as fol-
lows. including curb, incidentals, etc.
Asphalt full width of roadway, 759S.70;
asphalt, with street car tracks DEDUCT
ed, 6,463.50; brick, full width of roadway,
S., 96i.90; brick, with street car tracks
deducted, $5,l13.50.
If the street should be made uni
form width, the cost of the asphalt will
be si9656 additional, and for brick s372.42
additional

ceived and filed.

OPIUM, MORPHINE
or Cocaine Habits" Now
Privately Cured at Home.
A SIX DAYS TREATMENT SENT ON
TRIAL BY MAIL TO ANY ONE WHO
HONESTLY DESIRES TO y
BE CURED.
Remedy Contains No 0piates or Poisons.
Cures the Dreaded "Habits"
Permanently Without
Suffering.

DR.. Carlos Bruisard, a well known
practitioner of Cincinnati. o., after
many years close study, has discovered
a remedy that permanently cures the
morphine, opium, cocaine, laudanum
and similar habits. The remedy cures
without causing pain, suffering or nerv-
BUSINESS and removes all desire for slim
ulants. No opiates or other narcotics are
contained in the remedy, nor does the
treatment interfere with the patients
daily occupation. The cure is complete
and permanent and leaves the patient
in condition of perfect health.
DR.. Brusard carries his ideas into
practical effect by sending a six days
treatment on trial to anyone who actu-
ally desires to be cured. This will era
bic the patient to test it at home or
wherever he may choose, and there is
absolutely no question that he will be
cured.
DR.. Bruisard has saved thousands of
bright men and women from a life Of
slavery and degradation. He has the
remedy. There is no doubt about it.
1t is as certain to cure as the world
is certain to revolve on its axis. This
should deeply interest the thousands
who are being daily dragged to their
torture by the terrible use of narcotics.
1t Is certainly a very generous act Of
the doctor to send his remedy on trial
and thus let all see and realize that
they will be cured at their homes per-
manently, without any suffering, deten-
ton from business or loss of time.
Write privately to DR.. Carlos Bruis-
ard, LIE Glenn Bldg. Cincinnati. o. The
utmost confidence prevails between the
doctor and his patients.

gaits are substantially the same. More
trotting-bred horses take to the pacing
gait nowadays because we let them
DO 1t; that is, we allow them to choose
their own way Of going. Formerly we
would have used toe weights or some
other artificial means to force these
