BADLY TIED UP.
Freight Traffic Is Slowly Emerging From
Its Chaotic State of Last Week.

There was evidence of much activity
about the different freight yards yes
terday. All train crews have been
pressed into service, and the freight
which has been blockaded by the biz
zard is gradually being forwarded to
its destination.
All live stock and perishable freight
are being given the right Of way. Yes
terday a train of hogs passed through
the city on the Fitchburg road from
the west.
On the Boston and Albany the houses
are choked with the excessive freights,
but through the work Of the local
freight agent, it is rapidly being re-
duced. Four switching engines are
pressed into the service in the day and
two all night. On the Boston and
Maine four switchers are at work max
ing up freight shipments. The yard
will not be cleared for at least week.
on the Providence road, the freight
has been badly tied up, but now sem
blance Of order prevails and everything
bids fair to be running smoothly in a
few days.

FROM BIRTH

Our little daughter had Eczema from birth.
The parts afflicted would become terribly in
famed, and water would ooze out like great
beads of perspiration, finally this would dry
up and the skin would crack and peel of. She
suffered terribly. Had to put soft mittens on
her hands to keep her from scatching. Two
of our leading physicians did not help her.
After bathing her with OUTIcuRA SOAR,
applied CUTIcUEA (ointmont) freely, and gave
her CUTICUBA REsoLvESF regularly. She i'm.
proved at once and Is noto Reper troubled. The
statements have made are absolutely true
and not exaggerated in any way.

CASE OF SHEW AND EGAN
Has Been Held Under Amusement
by the Board of Pardons and Un-
til September-What Defend
ants Attorney Claim.

1t now develops that the dispatch
sent out from Harrisburg to the effect
that Shew and Egan, the Susquehanna
murderers were to be executed on July
Is, is erroneous. To a telegraphic query
from The Tribune as to the accuracy
of the report, Lieutenant Governor ].
p. S. Goblin, yesterday replied that the
report was incorrect, the board of par
dons at it's last session having con-
tinued the case until September.
Up in Susquehanna county where the
case is so anxiously and minutely dis
cussed there is sort of fixed feeling
that the hanging will never take place.
This is based on the hesitancy Of the
board of pardons in giving its sanction
to the verdict and on certain broad in
timations thrown out by the members
Of the board during the hearing.
The claim of the defendants attor-
ney, T. J. Davis, that the men were
not given a fair trial appears to have
strongly impressed the board. Mr..
Davis alleges, 1t will be remembered,
that confession was extracted from
Shew by threats and cajoled out cf
Egan by false promises.
In Egan's case, the allegation OF
unfair treatment is corroborated, so it
is claimed, by certain circumstances
that can not help but give the claim
every semblance of credibility. The
strangest of these is the refusal OF the
accused to go on the stand even against
the advice Of his counsel. His reason
for this refusal, so he told his counsel,
was that it was part of his agreement
with District Attorney Ainey who in
| consideration of his making q confess
sion and staying Off the witness stand
was to do all he could 20 save him from
the gallows.
When the evidence closed and the
district attorney came to make bis
closing address to the jury he not only
did not treat Egan as states witness,
| as is he is said to have agreed, hut
| characterized his refusal to SO on the
| stand as an evidence Of his unques-
| toned guilt. In arguing before the
board Of pardons Mr.. Davis Went SO far
as to claim that his CLIENTS had been
| convicted on Inc ompetent evidence and
that there sentence should not only be
| commuted but that the verdict should
| be entirely overlhro"n.
Reliable reports from Montrose tend
to show that public sentiment there is
not altogether opposed to a commuta-
tion of the sentence.

Objections Withdrawn.

route of the Stony Point road, at Buff

Afterwards the engineers announced
that their roads would withdraw any
objections to a certificate being issued

to the Stony Point line. 1t is expected
that the commissioners will grant the

HEARING is ADJOURNED.
Recess Taken in the Correspondence
Schools Case.

The taking of testimony in the case
of the International Correspondence
Schools of Scranton against the United
Correspondence Schools of New York,
which has been on for three days be-
fore George L. Peck, as commissioner,
was adjourned yesterday afternoon un-
til September, at the request of the at
torneys.
The suit is an action in equity
brought In the United States court to
restrain the New York school from in
fringing on certain copyrighted text
books used by the Scranton school. The
head of the New York institution is F..
w. Ewald, q discharged employe of the
Scranton schools.
Rufus J. Foster. president, and
Charles S. Benedict, head proofreader
of the Scranton schools, gave the prin-
cipal testimony. 1t tended to show that
the New York schools are using the
same books even to the type that the
Scranton schools compiled at a great
expense and which have been duly
copyrighted.
