man. and the question now raised is
as to whether q successor to fill out
Mr.. Calpin's unexpired term of a year
and over three months should be elect
ed at the coming spring election.
Mr. Calpin contends that the appor-
tionment was not a correct one, but
entirely apart from this he holds that
the Sixth ward is, at any rate, entitled
to two councilmen until April 1, 1904
The matter rests largely with the re-
corder, who issues the election procla-
nation and who is authorized by law
to set forth in that proclamation just
what offices are to be filled.

THAT ASH STREET BRIDGE.
Director Roche Doesn't Believe in
Erecting a Temporary One.

Director of Public Works Roche has
peen served with copy of the second
resolution to be passed by councils di-
rectng him to erect Il temporary bridge
over the Roaring Brook at Ash street
at a cost of 5000. The bridge will not be
built in pursuance with this resolution
because the $494.36 remaining in the ap-
preparation for the repairs of bridges
and culverts will be exhausted when
bills outstanding against it are paid
The director says that even though
funds were available it would be a
needless expense to erect temporary
bridge. There are almost sufficient un-
expended balances left over from 1901, he
says, to erect a permanent bridge and
any amount which could not be obtain
ed from that source could be taken from
the surplus for this year.

N. M. E1cKE,s UNUSUAL OFFER.
Sells DR.. Howard's Specific at Half
Price, and Guarantee a Cure.


ut isn't often that we have faith

people to be willing to offer to refund
the money II it does not cure" said N.
NJ Eicke to a Tribune man who
dropped into his store, but I am glad
to sell DR.. Howard's specific for the
cure of constipation and dyspepsia on
that basis.
"The DR.. Howard company, in order
to get "a quick Introductory sale, au-
thorizes me to sell their regular fifty
cent bottles at half-price, 25 cents. and,
although I have sold a lot of it, and
have guaranteed every package. not
one has been brought back as unsatis-
factory.
"One great advantage OF this spe-
ciic.' he continued, "is its small dose
and convenient form. There are sixty
doses in a Vial that can be carried in
the vest pocket or purse. and every one
has more medicinal power than u big
pill or tablet or Il tumbler of mineral
water
II am still selling the specific at half
price. although i cannot tell how long

who is subject to constipation, sick
headache, dizziness, liver trouble, indi-
gestion or n general played-out condi-
tion ought to take advantage of this
chance You can tell your readers that
If they are not satisfied with the spe-
cic they can come right back to my

money"
N. NJ. Eicle has the sole agency for
this remedy in Scranton, and has sold
a great many bottles since he adver-
tised to let customers have q 50-cent
package for 25 cents. Many people are
buying several bottles at u time, so as
to always have the specific in the house
and at the same time profit by the spe-
cial price. D

THE STATES THEORY UPHELD.
More Expert Evidence on ChIOrO-
form in Patrick Case.

New York, March 2O.-Dr. Hobart A.
Hare, professor of therapeutics in the
Jefferson Medical College of Philadel-
phia, was called by Mr.. Osborne in
the Patrick trial to-day. He qualified
as an expert on chloroform and the as
sistant district attorney asked him n
long hypothetical question, reciting the
circumstances of Mr.. Rices illness and
death ascribed by Charles F. Jones.
DR.. Hare said that death would re-
suit from putting cone, such as Jones
described over the face of a sleeping
man "a years old.
DIR. Hare said he had made many
experiments with chloroform and he
did not believe the odor could be dis
tinguished an hour after the drug was
administered. Mr.. Osborne described
the burning of the towel with sponge
as told by Jones. He said there was no
reason why it should not burn.
In reply to a question from a juror,
DR.. Hare said that a cone of chloro-
form such as Jones testified to having
placed over the face of Rice might
kill a sleeping man without causing a
struggle.
DR.. Robert Coleman Kemp testified
that assuming the conditions to be as
described by Jones, instantaneous death
might be the effect of a cone of chic
reform placed on the patients face.
How Patrick Grew a Beard.
The district attorney recalled Charles
F. Jones, who said that Pat
rick began to grow beard
about two weeks before the death of
Mr.. Rice. Maria Scott, the colored
caretaker of Mr.. Rice's rooms, who
testified that she saw Patrick and Mr..
Rice together several weeks earlier
than that date, said Patrick always
wore a beard. Jones was on the stand
less than five minutes, and then the
prosecution called James d. Bright
well of Galveston, Tex, an employe
of the Galveston office of the American
Express Company, to prove the receipt
at his office of two packages sent to

MAY DISCIPLINE GEN. MILES.

The Latter Tries to Crawl and De-
mics the Statement Furnished the
Associated Press, which, HOwev-
err, Is Verified.
Washington, March 20.-The news of
Gen. Miles statement to-day before the
Military Committee of the Senate ex-
cited great interest at the War De-
partment when it became known there
late il the day. There was a very
general inquiry as to whether by pass
ing the criticisms upon various Off
Gals, as reported by the press, Gen.
Miles had not exposed himself to dis
ciplinary treatment. The answer to
this must be based on the exact amount
of privilege which attaches to testi-
mony given before a committee of Con-
gress. This question arose last week
in the course of Gen. Hughes testi-
mony before the Senate Philippine
Committee, when the general sought
to escape answering questions which
would involve criticism by him of his
superior officer, Gen. Otis. 1t appeared
that there was a variance of opinion
in the committee itself as to how far
Gen. Hughes was at liberty to violate
army rules and prophecies, even in
question itself was left unsettled,
While Gen. Miles did not expect when
he gave his testimony that it would
be made public in any form, he is now
willing that it shall be published by
the committee, making himself the
broad statement that the statements
which were given to the press, as those
made by himself before the committee,
were Misrepresentation, totally .un-
warranted and unauthorized.
Were Not Discussing Miles.
The omission by the President of his
usual ride this afternoon and the fact
that he and Secretary Root were in
conference for NEARLY four hours, led
to the supposition that they were dis
GUESSING Gen. Miles testimony. This,
however, was an erroneous conclusion,
for they were talking about an army
regulation and the secretary was un-
aware of the testimony until he re-
turned to the War Department, very
late in the afternoon.
Secretary Root exhibited very little
feeling when his attention was called
to the proceedings before the commit
tee.
He remarked quietly that he was
very sorry Lieut.. Gen. Miles opposed
this bill. He said that under section
Z, of which Gen. Miles complained, the
lieutenant general would have greatly
enlarged powers in army management,
instead of being restricted in his func-
TONS AS to the question whether Gen.
Miles had said anything which would
require action at the hands of the de-
partment or the President the secre-
tary declined to express any opinion,
for the present preferring to await an
official copy of the committee hearing
before reaching any decision.

VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION.
The MatOs Movement Making Head
way and President CastrO's Situa-
ton is Critical.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao,
March 2O.-The Venezuelan revolution
headed by Gen. Matos seems to be
taking form. Eight hundred revo-
lutionists, under Gen. Penalozo are be-
sieging Carupano a seaport town in
the state of Bermudez, and the fevo-
lutionists under Gen. Monagas have
surrounded Barcelona, the capital of
the state of Bermudez.
Gen. Riera, who escaped the pursuit
of the Venezuelan government troops
near Cumarebo, in the state of Falcon,
is marching toward Tucacas, a seaport
Jtown in the state of Lara, which place
is to be attacked ON land by his troops
steamer Bolivar.
ing troops to FL Hacha to intercept
Gen. Riera and prevent the junction
of his troops with the revolutionists in
the Barquisimeto district.
The revolutionists have cut the ca
BILE to Barcelona, and consequently the
Venezuelan government is without
news from Carupano.
The situation is said to be critical
for President Castro.
The Venezuelan fleet is not in con-
dition to pursue the Bolivar and the
plans of President Castro to capture
her have failed.

state of Gunare, has been, with his
staff, taken prisoner by the revolution

Solicitor Ward Contends That Will
cox Is Guilty of Murder as Charged.
Elizabeth City, N. c.. March $3.50
licitor Ward spoke for the state this
morning at the trial of James Wilcox,
charged with the murder of Nellie
Cropsey. He contended that the evil
dence of the doctors against drowning
was conclusive. He reviewed the tes-
timony of the medical men and asserted
that the girl was murdered and that
Wilcox was guilty as charged. He
said Wilcox had grown bitter at the
renulses he had received from Miss
Cropsey, and that he had made up his
mind to win her back or kill her.
Conclusion of the Defense.
The argument was closed by E. F.
Avdelett counsel for the defense. he
reviewed the entire evidence in de-
tail. Among other things he said:
'sThe Cropseys have my sympathy.

own lips. do not blame Mr.. Cropsey
for trying to find out the cause OF the
death of his girl. But let US look into
the evidence in this case. The people

dence that the girl was not drowned.
He declared there was no proof that
the girl was not drowned. If, however.
she was killed, he contended that the
defendant had nothing to do with it.
He had neither the motive nor the
opportunity.

Wants the Same Thing in China, She
Says, and Is Evidently Determined
to Have IL.
St. Petersburg, March 20.-The Off
cial Messenger in publishing to-day the
Franco Russian declaration relative to
the Anglo-J japanese, convention, accom-
panies it with an official statement as
follows:
1.-THE imperial government received
with the most perfect calm the an
nouncement of the Anglo japanese
agreement. The principles which have
guided Russian policy since the begin
ming of the disturbances in China re-
main, and will remain invariable. Rus
STA insists on the maintenance of the
independence and integrity of China,
a friendly, neighboring country. as well
as that of Corea. Russia desires the
preservation of the status quo and
general peace in the far East, by the
construction of the Great Siberian Rail-
road, together with it's branch line
through Manchuria, towards a port al
ways ice free. The intention expressed
by Great Britain and Japan to attain
these same objects. which have inva-
riably been pursued by the Russian
government, can meet with nothing but
sympathy in Russia.
