Director P. A. Rivenburg's Bonds
men for the Principle Involved.
Other Poor Board Matters.

The matter of the deficiency of ex-
Secretary p. A. Rivenburg, of the old
poor board, amounting to Sc, was taken
up at last nights meeting of that body
and was disposed of by the board in
structing it's solicitor, Attorney II. G.
Butler to proceed to recover from the
bondsman of Rivenburg. Rivenburg's
shortage is for alleged supplies OBJ
tained from the farm during his term
and for which he made no return. The
auditors it was who found the sur
charges against him. He is the last Of
several old members, likewise charged,
who has failed to settle The amount
is only o trifle, but the board is going
to press the suit in order to be con-
sistent.
The rowing character, ex-Alderman
Patrick Grier. who has so often been
heard from through being picked up
by charitable institutions. was heard
from again in communication sent
by the poor authorities in Somerset
county, this state. Grier, who has been
an inmate of the alnshouse there for
about six weeks, is ready to start for
home, or at least has left the institu-
ton. He represented TO the authorities
there that Carbondale was his home,
that he always lived there and was
away only "a few months at q time"
while ION a tramp" that he owned
property in Carbondale and paid taxes
there. He made an affidavit to that
effect. A bill for his board and cloth
ing, amounting to $17.54, was sent for
payment.
Xhe board decided the ex-atlerman
had no claim on the poor department,
and laid the communication on the
table.
A bill from City Treasurer Conroy
for $3.50, for three years rent for the
rooms occupied by the board, was put
on the table until the next meeting.
There was question as to one years
rent.
George b. Stone, who represented the
Sharpless separator. appeared before
the board to endeavor to place one of
the separators in the poor farm. The
proposition was put over until the next
meeting.
After approving of number of bills
the meeting adjourned.

BRAKEMAN DOUGLASS INJURED
Falls from Top of Moving Train.
Foot Badly Bruised.

William Douglass, of Canaan street,
freight brakeman on the Delaware
and Hudson road, fell from the top of
a car yesterday, the train having part
ed unknown to him. While his right
foot was badly squeezed he is exceed
ngly grateful that he is alive, for the
experience from which he emerged with
the comparatively slight injuries, was
one of those which had a big element
of luck.
The crew was switching cars at
MooSic when the accident occurred.
Douglass was in the middle of the
train and in such a position that he
could see neither the engine or the rear
end. Just as he was stepping from a
gondola to q box car the train parted
and Douglass fell between the divided
train. No cars passed over any part
of him, but his foot caught on the
fiange of the wheel and was badly
bruised and cut.
DR.. d. l.. Bailey was called to at
tend Douglass after he reached this
city on the 7.O4 evening train and was
taken to his home. The surgeon found
no bones broken, though the flesh was
badly torn. Douglass will not lose his
foot the doctor believes.
Before he became a brakeman,
Douglass was employed as coachman
for Superintendent c. r. Manville, of
the Delaware and Hudson.

his eye, by running against barb wire
fence. Wednesday, the girl was re-
moved to her home. and last evening
she died.
The daughters death was quite sud-
den and somewhat unexpected which,
coupled with the other child's injury,
makes the family's sorrow one of poig-
nant grief, The girl had been sick
about year from Indigestion, and
when she became much worse she was
taken to the hospital, This course was
of little avail, ana when it was realized
that the treatment was of no avail
she was taken to her home, where her
death speedily followed The boy
whose eye was injured, was taken home
from the hospital yesterday.
The funeral will take place on Sum

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
White Bread Makes Trouble with
Some People.

Loading up with white bread and
starchy cereals is quite sure to ulti-
mately bring on some disorder of the
bowels, and is frequently the cause of
appendicitis.
The starches are not digested in the
upper stomach but are treated in the
duodenum and from there on down
through the whole length of the
bowels. Consequently, if too much
starchy food is used, particularly white
bread, trouble is likely to set up. White
bread does not contain the diastatic
principles which nature placed in the
wheat berry to help digest starch, but
the white flour miller leaves that part
out.
Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food was per-
fected purposely to supply the starch
OF the cereals and the other parts in
tended by Nature for use, and presents
them to the body in a form that will
easily be digested. In fact they are
predigested by a natural means dur
ing the process of manufacture, so that
one can get all the energy and value
from that sort of food without over
loading the organs.
"A man from Brantford, Ont, saws:
For the first twenty years of my life
lived out of doors, then I.took up my
present employment, which is indoors,
and REQUIRES the exercise of the brain

TRIED TO GET "FLoRoDoRA."
Manager Byrne's Persistent Efforts
to Secure This Attraction Hardly
SucceSfu1

Manager Bryne, of the Grand, has
made earnest and persistent efforts
to book the great musical hit. "Floro-
DORA" for an appearance at the opera
house before the end of this season.
He has had considerable correspon-
dence with Fisher & Ryley, the owners
of the production, but it looks now as if
"Florodora' will not come this way
this year, at least.
Yesterday Mr., Byrne received let
ter from this theatrical firm saying
that owing To the way in which it was
necessary to book the show, it was
feared that it could not come to Car
bondale. This would indicate that the
patrons of the Grand will not hear the
beautiful melodies of "Florodora." In
The Runaway Girl" which will be
here on Saturday, April 10, Carbon
daleians will have as great Il treat.
Many discriminating theatre-goers re-
gard the latter as highly as "F'loro-
dora"
