1t took two policemen, a half-dozen
Specials" and a large band of citizens
to bring about Saturday night the sub
jugation of a gang of foreigners housed
in place on the Throop land, near
No l colliery. Not until eight Of the
gang were placed under arrest did the
representatives of the law quell the
disturbance. But even then It was at
the cost of many broken heads.
Fortunately the police escaped un-
harmed. The trouble started when
James McGrail and John LOTUS two
constables, went to the house with a
warrant for the arrest of two men on
charges which dated before Saturday
This was at $50 o'clock. The house
was filled with men and a few women
drinking ard having a general good
time over the fact that it was pay day
that day. Constables McGrail and
Lotus arrested their men and we're on
the way to town when gang of from
thirty to forty men came after them
from the house. At a secluded part of
the read these men pitched upon the
cunstables, demanding that the pris-
oners be released. the two constables
fought until McGrairs club was crack
ed by a blow at one of his assailants.
Then the constables fed, releasing
their prisoners.
Reaching town, McGrail and Lotus
organized a posse, including Police
men Bulgar and Pace, Special Officers
John Pentine, Mike Millar and Frank
Williams, and a number of citizens. AT
Il o'clock the band left for the scene
of the trouble. Reaching the house the
officers quietly entered, clubs in hand,
and laid hold of six of the loudest dis
turbers. The prisoners, followed by a
gang of their friends, were taken be-
fore Justice of the Peace Cooney, by
whom they were given hearing Three
Of the men were held urder bail, two
Ct whom were arrested in the Squire
office by Patroman Bulger The other
five were discharged. In default OF
bail Andrew Petoni and M. Nichols
were committed to the county jail. The
third man, Mike Ennetti, secured bal
i'm the sum Of 5000. Further arrests VIII
be made by the police today.

Synopsis of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Before the
Ninth Medical Congress, by
DIR. A. l.. A. Toboldt, of the
University of Pennsylvania.

The famous fountain of health
at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invalids
for five centuries, is certainly
we'll worthy of a careful study.
My experience with this rene
dialagent has been such that I
may truly say that no remedy
which ] ever employed has given
me SO much pleasure and profit
as this particular one. Selecting
a number of chronic hypochon-
driacs, whose Affections have
baffled all my previous efforts as
my subjects, ! was truly aston
ished to note that, although no
rigid diet was prescribed, and
only limited amount of exercise
was INDUCED in, l obtained most
remarkable results-the complex
ion, even after a weeks use,
began to clear up, the step be-
came more firm and elastic, and,
what was more, the entire host
of hypochondriacal complaints,
seemed to vanish like mist.
