Published in Scranton Papers That

the difference, the superior merit, the
adaptability To prcScnt-day ailments is
the volume of local testimony for Dr.
A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills. It's so diff
ferent to the ordinary remedies refer
ring 10 cures made at distant points
which it is hard to verify. There il a
reason for DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve
Pills commanding home evidence wher-
ever they are known. 1t is their won-
derful influence i'm bringing up the
standard of nerve force.
Mr. Henry Alberts, of No. GIG Birch
street Scranton, Pa, says: For about
two years my back and kidneys had
been sore, lame and the secrctions i'm
bad shape. Nothing seemed to help me
until I got DR.. A. w. Chasc's Nerve
Pills at Matthews Bros drug store,
No. 800 Lackawanna avenue. They
did the work, curing the soreness
and lameness, making the secretons
healthy, and generally giving me
health and strength"

\ special meeting of the school hoard
was held on Tuesday night, to consider
proposition from the Peck Lumber
school annex contract. The company
asked for an additional $3.50 to COM
plcto the building. The board thought
the proposition a fair one, and unani-
mously voted to accept the same, thus
the differences existing for the past
two months between the contractors
aud the board have been agreeably
settled, and work on the building will
be rushed to completion. The board
also decided to order the teachers to
close the schools of the borough on
Thursday, in honor of the dead presi-
dent.
An exciting runaway occurred yes
terday afternoon about o'clock. A

on Lackawanna street, when they be-
came frightened at something and
dashed up the street to the Delaware
and Hudson crossing and there ran
down the tracks as far as the bridge,
where they came to standstill. A
young boy, who was i'm the wagon, was
thrown out at this point, but escaped
without injury. No damage was done
to the wagon.

CASES BEFORE
THE GRAND JURY
Those from Carbondale Acted Upon
by That Body This Week-Much
Interest Manifested in the Case
Against Edwin Moon.

Several important cases from Car
bondale We're considered this week by
the grand jury now in session in
Scranton.
The most important. at least the one
that will attract u good deal of inter-
est, is the one which Edwin Moon,
former poor director, is charged with
failing to pay up shortages that were
found in his accounts by auditors, dur
ing his term of office on the board.
1t will be recalled that Moon was
given a chance to settle these sur
charges. The present poor directors
left the matter in the hands of Attor-
ney ii. G. Butler the boards solicitor,
i'm the hone of satisfactorily settling
the issue. Settlements were made in
tho case of the other cX-direCtorS like
wise charged. but the efforts made in
Moons case were unavailng. Hence
the determination To prosecute.
The case against Ambrose Higgins,
who is charged with striking John Peel
ON the head with stone. "A happening
that attracted more than ordinary at
tention. AT the time was considered
ON Wednesday.
Another important case WAS the one
against the man Linnady. from the
Dundaff section. who is accused of try
ing to knock the head off Patrolman
Garden with water pitcher, during
fracas several weeks ago. The case
of Nathaniel cobb. Constable Neary's
aSsa liant, was also considered We'd
nesday.
Among the true bills which have
been found are those against Richard
Joyce, the former waiter i'm the I'M
perial restaurant, and Richard Living
ston, his companion i'm crime. 1t will
be recalled that Joyce, i'm company with
Livingston, rincd the dresser of Ed
ward CoddinGtOn, his employer, and
Martin ConnOr. a waiter i'm the rcstau-
| rant. and made off with CoddinGton's
watch ana about a hundred dollars
worth of other goods, Joyce, when ar
