DeCourcy May, who for the last Eve
years has acted as general Asuperin-
tendent for the Dickson Manufacture
ing company, yesterday sent in his
resignation to President c. II. Iehn-
der. of the company, and last night
left for New York city. He will there
transact some business for the Dick
son concern, and on Monday will be-
gin his duties as general manager for
the New York Ship Building COM
pany. of Philadelphia.
His resignation was due to the very
generous offer made for his services
by the Philadelphia ship builders. The
terms of the inducements offered wcr3
so much larger thun the present re-
enumeration received by Mr.. May, that
he was urged by his friends to accept
ii. The offer was made him three
months ago. and on his acquainting
President Zehnder with it, the latter
promptly informed him that in his
opinion. the post would be so much to
his (Alr. Nays advantage that he
ought not to hesitate to accept 1T.
Mr.. May is finely qualified for the
responsible position which he is now
to hold. The company is one of the
largest ship building concerns in the
country. and the man who has charge
of the works must necessarily be q man
who knows about everything in any
way connected with the business.
Mr.. May was born in Scotland.
While still young man, he came TO
this country and was closely connected
with several of the large ship building
and manufacturing establishments.
For ten years he was In charge of the
ship building works at Philadelphia.
From there he went to Niagara Falls
and five years ago came to this city.
and as general manager for the Dick
son works has given abundant evil
dences of his executive ability. He
was last night seen by Il Tribune man
and declared that it is with unfcigned
regret that he leaves Scranton.
My relations with the Dickson COM
pany could not be more friendly" he
declared, land 7 look back to my five
years connection with it with unal-
loyed pleasure. Anything I can ever
accomplish which will aid them. I will
be only to delighted to do. and l leave
their employ and this city with sim
cere regret.
II don't like to leave Scranton itself.
like the city and l like it's climate.
Since | have been here, l haven't had
Il days illness. and Scranton certainly
seemed to agree with me"
Mr.. May has no family or relations
in Scranton. 1t is not likely that. any
successor to him will be appointed by
the Dickson company, for some time
at least. The duties of superintendent,
it is generally understood, are to be
divided among number Of the Dick
son authorities, and for time will
be attended to by several persons. Mr.
Mays salary at the Dickson works
was $4,000 n year.

but they saw nausht.
Mile. Fiji de Leon was gone. The

Mr.. Wilson swear out Il warrant and
arrest the danseuse if she attempted to
give it again.
Agent Wilson SwOre out n warrant
and attended the matinee, only to find
the actress name off the programme.

AN UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT.
That's What Jury Says Caused the
Death of Benedict Dambrosio.

An inquest in2o the death of Bene-
Wednesday while at work on the South
Scranton sewer, was conducted last
night in the arbitration room at the
court house by Coroner j. ]. Roberts.
y number OF witnesses We're exam
ined, including Contractor a. II. Coons.
and William Partridge, his foreman.
They both tested that the side of the
sewer which caved in appeared to be
very solid and that for that reason
it was not shored up. They both de-
clared that they did not believe it to
be in an unsafe condition before the
man was killed.
Dominick Dambrosio. brother of
the dead man. testified that he worked
at the same place as his brother when
the work of digging the trench twas
first begun and that the earth was
very soft. In his opinion there was
need for bracing.
Other witnesses examined We're as
follows: Henry Nichols. Charles
Poeth, George Nehr, Charles Schrieber
and Patrick Hughs. Their testimony
was principally in the nature of a des-
cription Of the accident itself. The
jury was out for nearly an hour, and
finally brought in the following ver-
dict
I'VE, the undersigned jurors, find
that Benedict Dambrosio came to his
death on Nov. 2S as the result of an
unavoidable accident. (Signed) Joseph

WlLkES-BARRE.
JUDGE KELLY HAS A
kNOTTY PROBLEM
Must Lay Down the Line of Denmark
alton Where Bay Window
Ceases to Be Bay Window.

Judges have sometimes to decide
some very peculiar questions but 1t
must be admitted that the question
which Judge Kelly will have to decide
as the result of the hearing in the case
of j. y. Shiffer against Building In
spector Jackson is unique. The ques-
ton is this: Can II bay window be
larger than the room which 1t opens
from?
Some few weeks ago Mr.. Shiffer, who
lives at the corner of Mulberry street
and Franklin avenue. Vent to Building
Inspector Jackson to obtain a permit
for erecting an addition to his house.
The building inspector examined the
plans and seeing that the addition
would extend on to the ten-foot res
ervation. refused to issue permit.
The city building ordinance prohibits
the erection of any structure except
u bay window on the ten-foot reserva-
ton. Nh ShilTer contended that the
addition he proposed to build was a bay
window while Mr.. Jackson contended it
was not bay window. The result was
that Mr.. Shiffer applied to court for
u mandamus to compel Mr.. Jackson to
issue a permit. The testimony was
neafu yesterday afternoon.
Attorney Balentine represented Mr..
Shiffer while City Solicitor Nosburg
appeared for Building Inspector Jack
son. The plaintiff had quartette of
architects on hand to prove that the
contemplated addition was a really
truly bay window. Architects Feeney
and Worden contended that it was a
bN% window and nothing else while
Architects Davis and Blackwood said
it was not bay window.
The defense was that the addition
was nearly four times the size of the
room from which it opened and that
it would be as impossible, therefore, to
call it a bay window as to call the New
York bay the Atlantic ocean and to
speak of the Atlantic ocean as New
York bay.
The witnesses examined for the de-
Tense We're Building Inspector Jackson,
eN-Building Inspector John Nelson,
Adam Schroeder and i. A. Osborn. of
the architectural department of the In
ternational Correspondence schools.
These all testified that the proposed
addition was not a bay window and
that 1t could not be termed such en-
cept by Il wild stretch of the imagina-
ton.
Judge Kelly took the papers in the
case and will render decision later.

of rushing precipltately into the Sec
ond class. as does Mr.. Roche.
II believe that we had better
hold our horses for time until we
knew where we are at. There's no
hurry. The Legislature doesn't meet
till January and there's sure to De
some new second class city act passed
this season. 1t would be far better
to wait and find out what the provi.
sions of this act are going to be before
we go in under the old act.
II haven't given the second class
city laws very much examination. but
there's one thing ! notice about them
that should be changed. That Is the
putting of more power in the hands
of councils than they have at present.
They've got too much power as 1t Is.
Look at the departments which are
managed under the supervision OF
councils and you'll fud that they are
the worst managed of any department
in the city.
Take the fire department, for exam
pie. Whole volumes could be written
about It's mismanagement and it's all
because it's directly under the control
of councils. Stay IN the third class
by all means, rather than rush blndly
into the second class"

BRoOKLYN's NEW BRIDGE.
Figures Which Convey an Idea of Its
Magnitude.

W. T.. Quits, in Chicago Record
People who are accustomed to think
that the present Brooklyn bridge is
about the limit in the line of aerial
thoroughfares, have a surprise in store
when the new highway is Acompleted,
but whether the new bridge will be as
handsome Il structure as the old one
is doubtful. The new bridge will be
much larger than the old one, as. the
following comparative figures will

There are five roadways on the
present bridge--two for carriages, two
for railroad tracks and one for foot
passengers The new bridge will have
twelve highways, all gathered in Il
great bunch and hung at a height of
1856 feet above the waters of the East
river. There will be accommodations
for four underground trolley surface
railroad tracks; two tracks for ele-
waited railroad train; two for vehicles,
each eighteen feet wide; two foot
ways FOR pedestrians, each twelve feet
wide, and two bicycle paths, each six
feet wide. The Roebllns company,
which built the Brooklyn bridge, is
making the cables, four of which are
eighteen inches in diameter, the lars-
est and the longest and the strongest
ever manufactured.
The new bridge begins at Norfolk
and BrOome street, near the foot of
Delaney, in the dry-goods district, on
the New York side, and at Brook and
Havemeyer streets in Brooklyn. Two
blocks in each city have been pur-
chased ana are being cleared for the

ing something more than $3,O0O,00O.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous surfaces.
