THE JURY'S VERDICT.
James Larkin Died From Opium
Poison, Self Administered.

The body of the man who on Friday
afternoon was found unconscious on
the grass in Capital Park, and who
died at the Receiving Hospital an hour
later, was yesterday morning identi-
fed as that of James Larkin, a drug
gist, who from the middle of August
until a week ago was employed at
Otis drug store, 200 K street. The
remains We're identified by r. A. Der
lex, who is a druggist employed at the
store mentioned.
Larkin, while a competent druggist,
failed to give satisfaction, and was dis
charged, and since that time had not
been seen. While employed at the
drug store he roomed at the Western
Hotel, but left there when the fair
opened.
The mother of the dead man and his
sister, Mrs. Penprase, live at Benicia,
and they arrived in this city last night
on the late train to take charge of the
remains. Larkin had a wife in San
Francisco, and it is presumed that it
was she who wrote the letter publish
ed in yesterdays edition of the Rec
ord Union"
Early yesterday morning small
phial was picked up near the spot
where Larkin had lain in the park, but
an examination found that it had con-
tanned nothing more deleterious to
health than a patented cough medicine
Coroner McMullen last night con-
Quoted an inquest on the remains, at
which the above facts were adduced,

who attended the deceased before his
death, testified that TO the best of his
belief death resulted from opium pois-
oning.
The jury brought in a verdict that
death resulted from opium poison, self
administered.
1t is understood that the relatives of
the deceased will take charge of the

THAT DRUMMERs' RACE.
All Blame Removed From HI. A
Bell, Who Drove Farmers Girl.

The directors of the State Agricult-
ural Society have reconsidered their
action in ruling off the track for life
H. A. Bell, who entered and drove the
mare Farmers Girl in the commercial
travellers race a few days ago.
Mr.. Bell made an explanation to the
board that was satisfactory, and he
was reinstated. 1t seems he was not
a party to the deception, not having
had any knowledge of the mares his
tory, and did not know that she for
merly was on the turf as Pansy.
The board, however. will enforce its
judgment against the mare, and she
will never again be rung into a race

Howard, charged with having pilfered
a watch from the clothing of H. W.
Weidman, a guest at the Western
Hotel, was partially heard in the City

the stand and testified that Howard had
given him the watch and asked him to
hide it above a window, and that he
did so, fearing if he refused he would
get his head Knocked off"
There was no direct evidence that
Howard took the watch, and the con-

Boil It Down.

The tendency Of unskilled advertise.

lay on the praise in such thick coat that
it nauseates the public. Did you ever eat
too much candy, Mr.. Advertiser? II you
did then you know how reader feels
who has perused an advertisement too
we'll filled with self praise. Write your
advertisement three times as long as you
intend to have it. Don't put in single
word to "fill up" Then go to work and
boil it down to the right size. Cut out
obscure sentences; cut out the praise cut
out every word which detracts from or
mentions your opponents goods. Select
some prominent merit Of your article and
burn it deeply into the public mind. The

new man ut the business. Chop off all
Of the introduction and get right down to
the meat OF the subject. Don't repeat
yourself. Take the sentence 1--WE guar

first three words; the balance is nothing
more than a waste of space. Take the
word Every" out of your advertisement.
1t only weakens the assertion that it pre-

this pruning process sufficiently you will
find the al reduced near to its proper

and with as little engineering expense as
possible. Knowing the interest you take

| will again respectfully ask your most
earnest and deliberate consideration In the
selection of inspectors on public works. 1
believe that my specifications will COM
pare favorably with those cf any of our
largest and best governed cities, and
have no doubt of the result, IL work Is
done as required therein. i provide for
the best of material, and proper propor-
tions of the different ingredients to secure
good work. Must this be ruined for the
want of a qualified, practical man TO over
see and insist on proper mixture and
manipulation of the material? While the
cost of inspection at present Is charged
to and paid for by the property owners
abutting along the line of the improve
ments, the result of poor work on account
of poor inspection finally lands on the
city at large. For reasons given in my
last annual report to your honorable
bodies the cost of inspection Is very much
too high. Most of the money paid inspec-
tors is money wasted. 1 would therefore
ions for, say two permanent inspectors
(men thoroughly posted in the proper
manipulation of different materials, ce-
ment especially at about $50 per month
be made, whose duty 1t will be to inspect
all new work, and when not so employed
or engaged TO systematically inspect the
sewers already constructed (or any other
duties when ordered). This should be
thoroughly done one Qwice is possible)
every year.
In conclusion, my warmest thanks ] re-
spectfully extend to your honorable
bodies for the courtesies you have so uni
formly extended to me during the past
year. My thanks are also extended to
my co-laborers at the head of the va
rious departments for many Courtesies,
and to the employees of this department,
who have so faithfully aided me in car
rying out the wishes of your honorable
bodies. Very respectfully submitted,
Joseph Phillips, City Engineer.

a regular custom of dumping ashes on
the street, a practice which is not toll
Grated in other cities.
Then again, any person who can pur-
chase a one dollar horse and ram
shackle wagon Is allowed to cart ashes,
and that on our paved streets just after
they have been cleaned at a great ex-
pense, scattering ashes and rubbish over
the clean pave, 1t is very discouraging
to an officer who takes pride in clean
streets.
There Is but one method of suppressing
this nuisance and that is by passing
regulations governing the removal OF
ashes and garbage, which should be suf-
fcient TO prohibit any person from do
ing this work unless equipped with a
proper wagon, inspected and approved by
the street commissioner. Such cart or
wagon should also be licensed and num-
bered, so that the offender could easily
be detected,
Unless some regulations are made clean
streets in Scranton will be an impossi-
bility.
Trusting that your honorable bodies
will give the matter immediate attention,
l remain, very truly yours,
T.. ]. O'Boyle.
