coming, hoisterous, violent. and at times the
language is obscene, indecent and proiane.
Fiith--The ncighborhood In which said ''merry.
go,round" is located and operated is a strictly
residential section oi the city of Scranton, and
the monotonous grind Of the said instrument,

bolhood that your orator and the people residing

contrary, is the means OF gathering a dsorderly
and msbehayed body of people, whose language
and song greatly disturb your orator and the
peace Of the neighhorhood and the people in the
vicinity in the enjoyment Of their homes, and is
a menace TO the morals Of his family, and the

THE AFFIDAVITS.

The afIidavits are in substance SINH
lar to the one made by the plaintiff,
which is as follows
| am a resident and taxpayer Of the city Of
Scranton My home is situated directly across
the corner Of Coliax avenue and Mulberry street.
The house in which I reside is situated in a resi-
dent section Of the city Of scranton.
James Crosby has built upon the corner of
Colfdx avenue and Mulberry street on lot leased
owned by him certain cheap buildings and
among other things has erected device known
as a "merry. goround"; that connected with
the "merry. 20 round" is an instrument or organ
with very loud aud dsagreeabe tone, which
he operates by steam other power; that during
the last few months he has caused the same to
play continuous, monot0nous tunes from early
in the day until late at night. This ''merry go.
round" containing said organ, is situated but a
short distance from my home, and the sound Of
this when in operation is very loud and exceed.
ngly unpleasant
1t has become a matter ot serious annoyance
to myself and family and the entire neighbor-
hood. so much that persons living in the
neighhorhood have complained OF the tone OF
the instrument and the manner in which it has
been operated.
BY reason Of this instrument and the unsual
sound it produces it gathers about the place,
when it is operated, a very bosterous and ILL
behaved assembage.
The tone Of the organ is 50 particularly dis.
agreeable and annoying that many persons living
in the neighhorhood have complained to the city
authorities, in order to get some relief from the
sound Of said instrument.
! consider it an intolerable nuisance, and the
conducting and operating OF which is destroying
the quiet and peace of the neighhorhood, and
annoying the citizens to that extent that life is
nearly unbearahe.
! cannot see that it is necessary TO the opera.
tion Of his business to sound this instrument
but, on the contrary, il is only used for the
purpose Of attracting disorderly and ill-behaved
crowd, that threatened the peace and good order
Of the community in which it is located.

and quiet which should prevail in the homes Of

Ninth--And your orator further states and be-
leves that II is positively dangerous to the health

opinion, the gathering OF the vast asscmblage IN

traction, the playing ot said instrument, and the
games and other devices in correction Herewith,

the properties of citizens residing near thereto

serious disturbance is liable to follow at sny
moment. And your orator further AYERS that he
is injured and damaged by the acts OF the de-
PENDANTS as set forth ard that he has and will
suffer irreparable damage and injury theretrom'

SHE CARRIES IT WITH HER.

When Mrs. Mary Wren is about tC
start on a trip to sydney she always
lacks in her bag bottle of Mother Sic
gels Syrup. OF course, she is careful
to put it where it is not likely to get
broken, as she does not want to waste
the medicine, neither does she want to
spoil her things. So far, l am glad to
say, she has carried her precious bot
tie without an accident.
And when she gets home to Acacia
Cottage, Bridge street, Muswellbrook,
New South Wales, she has always rea-
son to be thankful that she took the
Syrup with her.
For, you must know. that on the Goth
day of Sept, 1899, Mrs. Wren was rs
years old and fifty of them she has
spent in the town of Muswellbrook. She
has had fifteen children, ten of whom
are still living; certainly Il record of
which she has a right to be proud.
Now, to make this little tale run
straight and to keep the kinks out of It,,
we shall have to bark back to the place
where it properly starts. Better still,
perhaps to let the good old lady tell
it herself, as she does in a letter dated
2tst of September Inext day after her
birthday, 1899.
Most of my life" she goes on, II
suffered from indigestion and wind on
the stomach. l have often been up holt
the night trying to relieve the terrible
pains caused by the wind.
Il spent lot of money on the essence
of ginger and other things, but they all
failed miserably, The essence ofNginger
would warm me for few minutes, and
ptt,. rot
as barking dog begins again after
you have hit him with something.
That's the way it was with me.
About five years ago l had very
bad time with influenza, and when I
was slowly getting over that the indi-
gestion came on worse than ever. We
couldn't do anything for 1t, or with it;
no more could the doctors.
Then an old friend happened in and
she said why don't YOU take Mother
Siegel's syrup? | told her l didn't be-
lieve In any of the advertised inedi-
zines. She went on imploring and en-
treating, and | said she might as well
save her breath, for she couldn't move
me an inch out of my own opinions.
What does that woman do but go and
buy bottle without my knowledge ana
fetch II To me2 Then | gave IN and
began trying II. That very bottle help
ed. and, after taking few bottles more
was as wen as anybody wants to be-
since using Mother siegefs Syrlp !
have got rid of all my pains and aches,
and 10 make sure OF keeping them away
! carry bottle with me wherever !
