Merritt Swingle, of Petersburg,
Struck by Engine at Nay Aug
Falls Last Night.

Merritt Swingle, of Mark street, Pet
ersburg, was struck and instantly
killed by an engine on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad at
ll.3O o'clock last night. The tragedy
occurred at Nay Aug Falls.
His remains were taken TO Cusick s
morgue, where they were identified by
Patrolman Fred Karius and others.
Letters and papers found in his pock
cts also proved his identity. Swingle
was employed as a conductor on the
Erie and Wyoming Valley railroad,
and was evidently on his way home
when struck by the engine.
His left arm was almost severed
from the body and his skull was frac-
tured. A watch. keys and a number
of papers were found upon him. Cor
oner j. j. Roberts was notified and
will today investigate the case. Swim
gle was about 40 years of age and well
known in Dunmore and Petersburg
\ wife and several children survive
him.

The prosecution of the aldermen and
justices of the peace charged with IL
legally collecting fees is to be
squalched. The county commissioners,
who instituted 1t, are not satisfied with
the manner in which it is being con-
Quoted and yesterday determined to
call ii off.
The inability of the commissioners
detective to secure discriminating evil
dence against more than a few of the
offenders is the primary reason of the
determination TO allow the crusade to
go by the board.
Th. commissioners went into the
matter with the expectation that it
would be u thorough and impartial af-
fair. 1t seems they are not satisfied
that il was such and rather than be
mixed up in something which is ap-
parently unfair they have decided to
draw out and take some other tack
The commissioners have been COM
planning all along that the crusade was
in danger of being turned into a "fiz-
zle" because of the fact that only a
certain few magistrates were being
brought in and the agents were urged
to exert themselves. The urging did
not have the desired effect. and after
consultation yesterday afternoon the
decision to call off the prosecution was
arrived at.
Witnesses were on hand yesterday
to appear before the grand jury in two
cases against Scranton aldermen, but
before the cases were reached the COM
missioners' decision was arrived at and
the witnesses were sent home.

SUPT.J. N. DAVIS RESIGNS
Will Take Charge of Union Steam
ship Line of Erie Company, with
Headquarters at Buffalo.

superintendent J. NJ. Davis. of the
Erie and Wyoming Valley railroad,
has resigned his position. and will
leave in few days for Buffalo, where
he Will become the superintendent of
the Union Steamship line, controlled
by the Erie road.
There are eight steamships in the
company's service plying over the great
lakes between Buffalo and Chicago.
Mr.. Davis will have his headquartcr3
at Buffalo. The duties pertaining to
the position which he leaves will be
taken care of for the present by Cen
eral Superintendent G. r. Slade.
Mr.. Davis came to this city about q
year ago from the Great Northern
railroad, on which he was division
superintendent. lie has made many
friends in this city. That his rare exc
cutive ability is recognized by the high
officials of the Erie company is evil
denced by his promotion.

In the case of NJ. =. Flynn against
County Treasurer Scranton, brought
to test the question of whether liquor
dealers in Scranton would pay ilOo
or $3.50 for their licenses this year, the
court yesterday decided that the larger
fee will have to be paid.
No opinion accompanied thc decis-
ion, but 1t was announced by Judge
Archibald that an opinion setting forth
the line of reasoning followed In reach
ing this decision would be forthcom-
ing in a short time
The liquor dealers will take the case
to the Supreme court, and those Of
them who propose to take out their
licenses, will pay the additional $3.50
under protest
AS 1t is highly improbable that a.
decision can be secured from the Su-
preme court before next Saturday,
which is the last day Tor taking out
licenses, and as it is also quite i'm
probable that the decision OF the
lower court will be reversed, II can
be expected that a large number of
the licenses granted a week ago Will
not be taken out. Those whose places
are in the suburbs, and many Of the
central city saloon-kcepers declare
that they cannot afford to pay the
s1,100 license and must retire from
business.
There were $50 licenses granted for
the city. an increase of nearly forty
more than were granted last year.
These new applications were made,
supposedly, with the expectation that
the license fee would not be increased,
as most Of them came from the su-
burbs. Last year there were eighteen
licenses granted FOR the South Side
wards. This year the number of forty
seven. an increase there alone If
twenty-nine.
Some hope of the license FEE being
kept at $3.50 is based on the bill in
troduced by Senator Vaughan, which
provides that in a city of the third
class passing into the second class the
fee shall remain at $500 for the three
years following the transition. a
stl enuouS effort will be made to get
the bill to the governor before April /

TREATMENT OF A COLD.
Some Good Advice by a Well Known
Physician.

a we'll known physician says that a
cold can be easily treated at It's outset,
but If neglected may lead to la grippe
and pneumonia. lie says that the best
home treatment for the cure of colds
and la grippe is Krause's Cold Cure
Capsules. He uses them almost ex-
clusively In his practice as they do not
affect the head as does Quinine nor up
set the stomach.
This remedy is prepared in soft, SOL
uble gelatine capsules, which are easily
dissolved by the warmth and fluids of
the stomach. They are much prefer
able 10 little, hard, sugar-coated pills
or tablets that always offer objection
able resistance to assimilation.
krause's Cold Cure positively cures
cold in the head, cold in the chest, cold
in the throat or cold In any part of
the body. and it will prevent the de-
velopment of bronchitis or pneumonia.
IT is for sale at all fi st-claSs drug
stores at 25 cents a box.

Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: We have seen a great deal in the papers
OF late Of coroncr's jurcs and the people at
large condemnins Christian Science hcalcrs and
accusing tECIn Of malpractice aud criminal neg.
ligtnCC
We arc aware that in the minds oi many
Osteopathy is cassed in the same category Us
Christian Science, and it is to dsabuse such
minds of this erroneous impression that we
submit this statement to the public.
Most people are aware chat Christian Science
Is a form OF mental treatment. As such il has
an excuse tor its existence, but it also has its
limitations; aud il is when these proper lin.
itdtons are dsrcgarded by its jealous followers
and the attempt is made TO employ it as an all
inclusive therapeutic agent, that its balciul in.
luencc is felt.
The greatest fault with the practice Of Chris.
tian Science is that its hcllcrS are not sui.
hcently or properly trained. They do not study,
a. they should, the anatomy and physiology
and chemistry Of the human body which they
profess 10 cure. They do not Study diagnosis
and symptomatolo-v. They appear to study only
that incomprehCnsiblc and unntCrpr2tablc book
OF the founder OF their faith.
The result Of this training-or lack of training
of their hcalcrs Is that they are not able to
diifercntiate between diseases that are amenalle
10 the mnd-ratmont and those that arc not
the slightest 10 tho most serious ailmcnt-Ind
arply the same treatment TO all, and naturally
in such course, in their ignorance of the exact
pathological condition that obtains, they ire-
quenty overlook and neglect some phase IT the
patients malady which brings on fatal results
whereas a timely operation or proper form Of
| treatment would have effected cure
With the conscientious and properly educated
Osteopathic physician this would be impossible
We admit that "to err is human" and that
OstCoplthy is not infaijle--and that people have
been known to suffer and die under the very best
| medical and surgical treatment
But the point We wish to emphasize is this
! that Ostcopathy has nothing in common with
| Christian Science, neither should it be con.
founded with any form of faith, or mind cure.
The curriculum Of the Ostcopathic college is
very similar to that in the best medical colleges.
In fact We study the same authorities aud tsNt
books, taking very thorough courses in ANATOMY,
physiology, chemistry histology, dissection path.
o.ogy, blutorology hygiene, diotctics, CITE. etc,
but in place of the materia mcdica and phalnla.
cuapla ut the medical course, We substitute for
these the principles oi OstCopathy, the apict.
tlon ct which principles Is simply au honest
effort TO assist nature by mechanical, rather
thar chemical means, tu restore To the normal
Il disturbed equilibrium.
