Winter is half over. People are con-
tinuing to catch colds, and not house
but hears the winter cough. People
are trying to get something to cure
these troubles which are almost inev-
liable at this time of the year. 1t can
safely be said that nine-tenths of the
people in the United States have a
cold some time during the winter.
There is one remedy which will pre-
vent colds and cough and cure them
with certainty when contracted. This
remedy is Peruna. Taken with regu-
Arity during the winter months, it will
entirely prevent colds, coughs, la

Result of the Flood,

Three actions in trespass were begun
yesterday to recover damages for in
juries caused by the floods of last
spring. The Delaware and Hudson
company is defendant in two Of the
actions and the plaintiffs are Valentine
Bliss and j. G. Hufnagle. who are rep
resented by Attorneys OBrien & Mar
tin and I. H. Burns.
Bliss owns a silk mill at Priceburg,
which was flooded and badly damaged,
and Hufnagle owns plot of ground on
which are many houses. The plot was
submerged by the flood. The plaintiffs
alleged that their properties were dam
aged because of certain obstructions
placed in the channel of the Lacka-
wanna river by the Delaware and Hud-
son company, which diverted the water
from the natural bed of the river onto
the properties of the plaintiffs.
Attorney A. A. Chase began suit for
Charles F. Greenburg against the
Scranton Steel company. Greenburg
owns property at Elm street and the
Lackawanna river which was damaged
last spring, when all that part of South
Scranton was under water. 1t is al
legged that the encroachments of the
Scranton Steel company on the bed of
the river below Elm street was the
cause of the flood.

| In 1S47 the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany laid out it's gravity road across
the farm now owned by Beers. Two
| big fills had to be made in making a
roadbed across the land and culm was
used for the purpose. The screening of
coal was crudely done at that time and
| this culm is rich in coal. After the
Pennsylvania Coal company abandoned
its gravity road, Beers alleges that he
was given the right of way of the COM
pany across his farm and the culm 1t
contained, In compensation for certain
damages which he alleges he sustained
at the hands of the company. The
agreement was verbal.
Not long ago the defendants pur-

Temple Iron Company Sued.

The borough of Mayfield is plaintiff
In an action in trespass to recover
damages, brought yesterday against
the Temple Iron company. The papers
in the case were filed by Attorney John
r. Jones, and damages in the sum of
$1,000 are asked.
1t Is alleged that large quantities of
culm from the Edgerton colliery of the
defendant company is dumped into Ed
gerton creek, which flows through the
center of Mayfield. This culm, it is
charged, has filled the bed of the creek
and at times of high water the creek
overhows its banks and tears up the
streets Of the borough.
Many residents of the borough, whose
properties have been damaged by the
overfowing of the creek from time to
time, also threaten to bring suits
against the company.

damages from the executors of the es-
tate of the late Judge John Handley

The plaintiffs were the owners of a
building on Lackawanna avenue which
adjoined on the west the old Mer-
chants and Mechanics bank building

beck building. Attorneys James T..
Frear, of Tunkhannock, and Ballentine
& Howell, of this city, represent the
plaintiffs.

The Commissioner of Pension

l"HE NEW commissioner Oh
pensions has been in Office
IL. nearly three months, but we
have not heard a word of
complaint. He has not in any particu-
lar deviated from the policy of his pre-
decessor; he is enforcing the law with
out the slightest partialty or discrimi-
nation, as 1t is his duty to do, and as
General Evans did, but the hue and cry
has not been raised against him. We
trust that 1t will not be. Yet 1t is early
to prophesy.
The only information as to how the
new commissioner Is getting along
comes from himself. He talked to a
Washington Post reporter quite freely
the other day. He said he was giving
his first attention to the elimination of
political or personal pull in the promo
tions made in his bureau. When va
cancy occurs in a certain grade he
asks the chief of the subdivision to
give him the names of the three best
employees in the grade Immediately be-
low. Then he institutes a careful per-
sonal examination of the records and
worth of these three subordinates and
the one that energies with the bright
est credit marks gets the promotion.
Commissioner Ware says he has had
some trouble in convincing the solicit
Gus congressman that that is the fair
est way to make promotions, but he
adds that when the member becomes
convinced that the commissioner is inn
partial and unvarying in his attitude,
he usually gives in with good grace.
With regard to the enforcement of
the pension laws, Mr.. Ware says that
when he entered upon the discharge Of
his new duties he found a general eX-
pectation that he would in some man.
ner let down the bars. The first thing
he did was to instruct his lieutenants
that the law was to be enforced abso-
lutely without deviation and in the
spirit of protection of the public as op-
posed to the private interest. He says
the statement seemed to surprise them
somewhat, but he has lived up to it,
and the other day, when he addressed
q meeting of veteran soldiers out in
Kansas and told it what he had done
and how he proposed to continue, the
boys cheered him to the echo. AS for
the pension attorneys, and especially
the sharks looking for prey, Mr.. Ware
has the advantage of having been
lawyer himself and is "onto their
curves"
This makes interesting and encourage
ing reading, and confirms our opinion
that the troubles of General Evans were
largely manufactured by intriguers who
could not use him. But as we said be-
fore, it is early to make predictions
General Evans successor.
He is unquestionably an honest and a
determined man. He will do his duty
fearlessly and he will not be swerved
by clamor. But that he can escape
without Misrepresentation of motive
and malicious persecution disguised be-
hind apparently solicitous regard for
the welfare of the old soldier, his widow
or his orphaned children, is too much
to expect. 1t would presage the mill
lennium.
