"Resolved. That the association
pledges to the pharmacy board It's
most cordial support in its efforts to
enforce the laws of this common

method which has been employed by
the board and the Judgment exercised
in many cases where the minor oifense
of not displaying renewal certificates
has been visited by prosecution, which
it would have been wiser to have with
held.
"Resolved. That this association

confronts the best interests of phar-

dictate to the pharmacy board how

Two Suits for $4,000 Damages.

Suit was yesterday begun by Daniel
c. Wcstbrook. of Brooklyn. Susque-
hanna county, to recover $4,000 dam
ages for the death of his son, who was
killed in the collision near Nebo church,
in Rcndham. last summer.
Mr.. Westbrook's S son was the motor
man ON the outbound car. His car
rounded the curve at that point and
was about to swing on to the straight
line when an inbound car loomed up in
front of him. He had time to jump
and save his life. but he stuck to his
post hcroically. doing all that lay in
mis- power to avert the collision. The
other car, deserted by its crew. crashed
into his car and pinioned him in the
wrcckage. He died that night from in
tcrnal injuries. Eleven passengers were
more or less injured but had it not
been for the heroic efforts of West
brook in slackening the speed of his
car as much as he did, the collision
would have been much more forcible,
and more than one fatality would
doubtlessly have been recorded.
The accident was caused by boys
tampering with the switch signals. lGG
company is alleged to have been guilty
Of negligence in failing to provide
switch signals which could not be so
readily tampered with.
Attorneys w. ID. +. Ainey, of Mont
rose, and C. a. Van Wormer, of this
city, represent the plaintiff.
Through Attorney Ralph l., Levy, Jo-
Seph Maliutski, of Priccburg, brought
suit against the Scranton Railway
company for $1,000 damages for per-
sonal injuries. The plaintiff alleges
that on June >, last, he boarded car
at the corner of Penn avenue and Null
berry street, to so to his home in
Priceburg Upon inquiry from the con-
ductor he learned that he was on the
wrong car, and he asked that the car
should be stopped until he could get
off. The conductor insisted on him get
ting off while the car was in motion.
and when he refused the conductor, so
he says, pushed him from the platform.
He fell violently to the ground and
sustained injuries that he claims will
disable him permanently,

FORMAL TRANSFER MADE
Cliff Street Shops Are Now the Prop
erty of the American Loco
motive Company.

Tho fcrn,' iransl.r of the Cliff
street locomotive shops of the Dick
son Manufacturing company took
place Thursday afternoon, and it Is
expected that within few days rep
resentatives of the American Locomo-
tive company. the mammoth combine
which now owns the works, will ar
rive in the city and take possession.
Thursday the company was repre-
sented by proxy, it's side of the tran
saction being handled by A. Il. Flet-
cher. vice president of the Dickson
Manufacturing company. The pur-
chase mony was paid oveO to the
Dickson company. and all deeds. titles

rendered to the combine. The price

people refuse to give out any infor-
nation on that point. They claim that
it has not been made public so far.
to even the stockholders the board Of
directors alone being cognizant OF
the exact terms and they having rati-
fed the sale.
1t is not likely that under the new
regime there will he any radical
changes in the active operation of the
shops. but of course nothing definite
will be known of this. until the ar
rival of the American company's rep
resentatives next week. Supern-
terdent c. A. Delaney will most prob
ably be retained to direct the shops,
as he has proven himself in every
particular man well equipped for
the position. He has gained the re-
srect and personal admiration of the
eight hundred men under him and
since he became superintendent the
quantity and quality Of the annual
output has given the shops an inter-
national reputation for high grade
work.

No contention raised in the local
courts in many a day has provoked
such general discussion as that raised
by Major Warren and Mr.. O'Brien in
the Slliman case Thursday. The
proposition that there was nothing in
the statutes, up to May last, for
bidding the bribing of borough coun-
cilmen was startling at first. but
when the matter was examined into
there was a very general and positive
concurrence among the lawyers in the
position taken by Mr.. Silliman's at
tCrneys
The act of 1874, under which the in
dctnent was drawn, reads as fol-
icws:
AN ACT defining tho ottense Of corrupt solicta'
tion of members Of assembly, state. county.
election, municipal, or other public officers,
and prescribing the punishment therefor.
Section l. Be it enacted, etc, that any per
son or persons who shall directly or indirectly,
by offer or promise of money, office appoint
ment. employment, testimonial, or other th'nG
of value, or who shall by threats or intinlida'
ton. ontlcavor to influence any member OF the
general assembly. state. county. election, mnn''
cipal or other public officer. in the discharge,
performance or nonpcrformlncc or any act, duty
or obligation pertaining TO such office. snail he
guilty of the olcnsc Of corrupt solicitation, and
liable TO indictment for n misdcneanor. ana on
conviction thereof shall he sentenced TO pay
fine not exceeding one thousand dollars and TO
| undergo imprisonment not exceeding two years,
at the discretion OF the court.
Section .. That any occupation or practice of
solicitation of members OF either house OF the
general assembly, or of public officers of the
state, or oi any municipal division thereof. to
influence their official action. shall he deemed a
misdcmeanor and any person convicted Thereon
shall he punished provided by the preceding
section: Provided, That any open address upon
or explanation of any measure or question be-
fore either house of the general assembly, or
any committee or member thereof or before
any municipal counc: board or committee
thereof or before any public officer, shall not he
held to he solicitation within the meaning OF
this section.
This act, it is claimed, applies only to
state officers. and as IL corroboration of
this claim it is pointed out that the
present legislature. realizing the defci-
ncy passed law defining and punish
ing the offense of corrupt solicitation
of borough councilmen. The bribing of
city councilmen is made Il specific Of
fenSe by the general acts of ISIS? and
1891. relating to the government of
cities.

We're indicted for receiving the bribes
Mr.. Silliman is alleged to have given,
will likewise go free, if the indictments
against them are Quashcd. the statute
of limitations intervening. That the in
indictments in these cases will be
puashed is almost certain, District At
torney Lewis having practically ad-
mitted that the course of the grand
jury was irregular.

RESOLUTIONS OF DRUGGISTS.
Passed at the Recent Convention

At its annual convention. held at
Hotel OneCnta. Harveys Lake, June
Is, IL and 20. the following resolu-
tons We're adopted, which are of in
terest to the druggists of Scranton
and of the entire state:
Whereas, The Pennsylvania Phar-
meceutical association from its incep-
ton has taken the deepest interest in
securing legislation which aims at
giving the public the greatest meas
ure of protection, at the same time
guarding those interests of the phar-
macists which fall within inalienable
rights.
"Whereas, The president of the
pharmacy board has presented a
statement of this body, detailing the
action of the board in the prosecu-
tons which have been made during
the past year. From this it appears
that many fragrant offenders have
been made to realize that the phar-
macy laws which are on the statute
books are not imperative, as has been
erorneously supposed by some, but

the full extent Of the law and the
