TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Closing Exercises Of the Sessions at
Montrose.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Montrose, Oct. co. The closing eXer-
cises of the teachers institute were
held this morning at the school house
The section work as arranged did not
take place, the time being all devoted /
to the following subjects:
Trend of Modern Educational
Ideas" DR.. Davis; "Rights and Duties
of Childhood" Dr. Smith; Physical
Culture" DR.. King. AS on former
days during the past week, the hall
was packed and all listened with in
terest to the remarks made by the diff
ferent professors. The Tribune COR
respondent, in order to get from the
different instructors their impression
on the result of their efforts, or, in
other words, what was the success of
the institute, is pleased this morning to
give the views of a number of them.
Dr. Andrew Thomas Smith, profess
sor at the Normal school, Mansfield,
said: zone of the greatest marks of
success of this institute is plainly
shown by the earnest and serious work
characterized by all the teachers from
the first to the last. This is my first
visit here, so I cannot compare the ap-
parents results with former occasions"
Superintendent of Schools MaXley
said: "I think the institute just closed
has more, if possible, than at former
ones, started a great number of the
new element to thinking. 1t has been
a source of great benefit to all, and its
results will make themselves apparent
later on"
DR.. King: There was a great deal
of inspiration and enthusiasm created
Teachers are apt to lack methods and
the institute just passed worked to cor
rect wrong impressions and started
teachers to investigate a new line of
thought and practice. The school is
like a church. 1t must have a creed
and the art of teaching has developed
so far that it is now considered a sci
ence. The old method of teaching is
no longer in vogue and will not meet
the requirements"
DR.. Sherman Davis, superintendent
Of State Normal school, at Blooming
ton, Indiana: "Dr. King fully eX-
presses my views. l think this insti-
tute started many to thinking and a
| large percentage will take up new
ideas in their work"

Special 20 the Scranton Tribune
Susquehanna, Oct. 20.--The age OF
miracles has evidently not passed
away. For the last two wears or more,
Mrs. Andrew Ryan, wife of the pro-
prietor of the Hotel Ryan, Main street,
and highly respected lady, has been
great sufferer from rheumatism She
has been treated in a Scranton hospital
and by numerous physicians. without
receiving permanent hclp. Much Of the
time she has been in bed, and she has
not been able 10 walk without crutch-
es Her arm has been so drawn and
contracted that she has been unable TO
raise her hands to her head.
She had made up her mind that she
would be helpless and suffering Grip
pie for life. All medical aid was Of
no avail Some six months since she
ceased taking medicine and commenced
to pray many times daily for her re-
covery. She had firm faith that she
would receive Divine help.
Last evening she walked upon two
crutches to the supper table, two If
her sons assisting her While at the
table, she suddenly felt a peculiar
prickling sensation in her foot, followed
by similar feeling throughout her
system. She Immediately arose and
walked about the room and with the
use of all her limbs wholly free from
rain Later she walked down stairs,
the first time she has done so without
the aid of crutchCs in two years The
JOY and astonishment ana gratitude Of
herself and family may be imagined
The strange ard sudden deliverancc
is the talk of the entire community.

Towanda, oct. 3O.-The latest idea as
to the proposed branch of the Della
ware, Lackawana and Western rail-
road is given by Mir. Ira Finch, of
Windham, one OF the most able iinan-
cers of Eastern Bradford. He forwards
to the reporter of The Tribune, with a
request to be published, the following:
1 noticed that the proposed branch OF
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad from Nichols, n. u, to LeRays-
willie, Pa, was again being agitated; and
that the high officials of the road con-
templated passing over the proposed
route at their earliest convenience said
route to follow from Nichols up the main
Wappasening creek to little WdppaseninS,
thence up the little Wappasening and
down the WysoX creek to Gillett bridge.
thence up johnson creek to LeRaysvllle,
a distance of 70 miles. While it would
develop a rich valley, as stated IN your
paper, and, we might add, very much
in need of a railroad, yet 1T IS question,
able with people familiar with the pro-
posed route and also with more direct
route, whether the direct route should
not be passed over as well as the pro-
posed one. The short route would also
run up the Wappasening creek from
branch of said creek through the Carey
swamp and on to LeRaysville, distance
of 16 miles. While the direct route would
leave out the enterprising village OF
Rome, it would take in the prosperous
town of Warren Centre.
A round trip on the direct line would
make a run of thirty-two miles, with
moderate grade the whole distance, and
the line so direct that there could be air
lines for quite distances; while the pro-
posed route would run a heavy grade
from Nichols to the Shoemaker summit,
then down to lower point than Nichols,
then make the whole grade again from
Gillett's bridge to LeRaysville, a round
trip run of fifty-two miles, running mary
sharp curves to follow so crooked a route.
Either of these routes would furnish
such an amount of freight as perhaps no
country within great distance of here
would furnish that has no railroad. But
It seems there are other considerations
Of more importance than local freight,
one of which is rapid transit from New
York west. The direct line from Nichols
continued on by LeRaysvlle down a
branch of the Wyalusing creek thence
up the Wyalusing, passing by or near
Springville to Nicholson on the Tunkhan-
mock creek in Wyoming county, Pa,
would shorten the run from New York,
west, something over twenty miles, be-
sides continuing to develop an inland and

PIKE COUNTY COURTS.
Judge Purdy on the Bench-Case of
Mrs. Quick.

Special to The Scralton Tribune.
Milford, PA. oct. 20.-The regular
October session of the Pike county
court was possibly one of the shortest
ever held in it's history It only lasted
few hours. Hon. George S. Purdy, of
Honesdale, president Judge. and his as
sociates were on the bench. The con-
stables of the various townships. with
the exception of George T. Smith, of
Porter township, made their usual re-
turns to the court. The viewers. who
upon petition of a number of the tax
payers were appointed at the last ses-
sion of the court to change the public
road in Westfall township along the
farm of Prof. Charles s. Pierce, report
cd that they had laid out a road Upon
motion Of c. w. Bull esq, Captain
John p. Williams, prominent
Stroudshurg attorney was admitted to
practice in the courts of this county.
There was an interesting case in
which Mrs. Elmira Quick, d town
charge in Lackawauna township. was
the plaintiff. Mrs. Quick charged the
defendant, who is her son, with nom
support. The old lady, who is very
feeble, took the stand and told the
court that her son had entered into an
agreement with her in January, 1897, to
pay her $3.50 per month during the re-
mainder of her natural life, and showed
a paper to that effect. The small
monthly stipend had been paid regu-
larly until August, 1898. Mrs. Quick
said she asked nothing outrageous Of
her son, insomuch as she had been left
a widow when he was only five years
of age and she had supported him by
getting out railroad ties, hewing fence
posts, cutting wood and like labor. She
stated that her son was married and
had a wife and one child He is em-
plOyed on the Erie railroad and is re-
ceiving $40 and $50 per month. Mrs.
Quick had no counsel. Her son was
represented by Attorney MarVine, OF
Matamoras, and he made statement
to the court that his client did not
deny the allegation, but attempted to
secure himself with the plea that he was
very much under the influence of liquor
when he signed the agreement. The
court thought the defendant ought to
he willing to pay $3.50 per month and
continued the case until December
term Of court, hoping that the parties
would amicahly adjust the difficulty by
that time. Quick entered into bonds
on his own recoguizance for appear
ance at the next term OF court.

productive country The milk freight the
entire distance would be immense; II
would be difficult to estimate the number
of creamerics along the route and in
close proximity to It.
1t is claimed by some that the Tunk-
hammock hill from Nicholson cannot be
made on to Springvile. Having Travelled
over the road l never noticed anythins
serious to contend with, as the route
makes down the TunkhannoCk creek from
Nicholson, and Il is evident that the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
could make Springvlic by running down
the D1nkhannock. when the Montrose
railroad makes Springvilc, running up
the Tunkhannock from Tunkhannock VIII
lage.
A survey OF the proposed road will be
begun at once between DeRaysville and
Nichols, n. Y. Surveyor Dunnins, OF
Scranton, will be in charge of the work,
and will commence at Gillett's bridge,
near Rome. 1t is being done prepara-
tory to the examination of President
Truesdale, of the Delaware, Lacka-
| wanna and Western company. The
project seems to be Frightening to q
large extent by those interested.

FIRE AT FOREST CITY.
Two Houses in the Vicinity of
"Blazing Stump" Destroyed.

Special TO The Scranton Tribune.
Forest City, Oct 20.-At o'clock this
afternoon fire broke out in the house
owned and occupied by Adam Buscha,
situated at the Blazing Stump" and
in q very short time the whole struc-
ture was a mass of flames.
Owing to the inadequacy of any
water supply, nothing could be done to
save the building and the wind famed
the flames so fiercely that a second
house situated on the lower end Of the
lot and owned by the same person, soon
caught fire and in less than half hour
the place was a mass of ruins.
Both houses were new and just COM
pleted; one of the buildings was not
rented as yet.
The origin of the fire is unknown, as
Mr.. Buscha was at work and Mrs.
Buscha was in town shopping. 1t is
thought, however, an overheated stove
started it. About all the household
goods were destroyed and there was
only small insurance.
