Accidents on Main Street.

c. S. Stockwell was driving up Main
street Tuesday evening in a team belonging
to {. II. Thompson, when the wheel OF the
wagon caught in the car track and the
front axle was broken. The horse. which
is young animal Just bought by MI.
Thompson, was badly frightened and
started rapidly up the street. Mr.. Stock
well was thrown out after riding short
distance, but fortunately was not hurt.
Near the Unitarian church the wagon col
lided with a lamp post and was completely
demolished. The horse freed itself and
ran as far as Terrace street, where it was
stopped by 5. w. Kimball. The animal
was unhurt and will probably be none the
worse for its fright
Another accident occurred earlier in the
afternoon when one of the front wheels of
the American Express company's wagon
came off in front of the Brooks House.
The contents of the team was emptied in
to the road, but none of the goods were
damaged.

Today Scranton can boast of having
the first coal train known to the world
to be run by electricity.

gineers and mechanics of the local

devoted solely to carrying coal. 1t is

the center and supporting a trolley
pole. There are platforms at either
end, not altogether unlike the ordinary

being that the deck is open for a dis
tance of two feet next to the car ends,
which are trap doors opening at the
bottom and designed TO make the car
unload automatically, the bottom of
the car raising to the center from each
direction. The car in dimensions is
1Sx5x5 and in build Is very substantial
looking and not altogether ungainly.
It's capacity is about ten tons. The

A CERTAIN CURE
RoR :.
CONSTIPATION.
Regulations as to Diet, Exercise,
ETC., as Prescribed by One
Of the most Eminent
Physicians.

Constipation affects mostly those who
are dyspeptjc or who sit too much or too
long. 1t cannot be cured by medicines
alone. The following is the prescrip-
tion of leading physicians:
ist. Take on rising teaspoonful of
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in glass of wa
ter as hot MS you can sip 1t. Then take
G brisk walk out of doors, il you can
II not, keep on your feet and move about
indoors. II the trouble is chronic and
serious, take another dose in from thirty
to sixty minutes. Wait at least half an
hour before eating your breakfast.
I'D. Never sit down to read or work
after breakfast until Nature has found
relief. but haventtime." You will
have time il you rise an hour earlier
than before, and cure is worth that.
sd. Use laxative food--use Cruel of
rolled oats and water. no milk and use
HONEY with wheat griddle cakes or with
bread. Never touch toast, or milk ex-
cept in coffee. Don't eat blackberries
or cheese, and never drink tea for break
fast. Use coffee at breakfast, if you can;
IT not, hot water. Chew all food thor
oughly and never use liquid to help
masticate it. Never use acids or sour
fruits, and fruit when cooked is much
easier digested than if uncooked. u,.
4th. Why use Carlsbad Sprudel
Saltl Because, first, there is no reac-
ton to follow it. You know what that
means, If you have taken physics and
found yourself worse off than before,
the second day afterwards; second, be-
cause the Genuine Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt aids the stomach as well as the
bowels in their functions.
You can take the Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt less and less steadily as you i'm
prove; but never be without a bottle
handy. Be sure to use only the Genu-
inc Carlsbad Salt, which is obtained
from the celebrated Carlsbad Sprudel
Water, and has the signature of Els

the expense of an extra car and be-
