garden with three characters in the
narrative-the woman, the man, and the
garden; and the latter is a character
that assumes distinct personality. The
woman is delicate and refined and wit

is stunning, and his wit infectious and
fetching. The garden is quite all right

raphy, illustration, and binding. The

While for each little darling present,
A souvenir is allowed.

Admittance but one dime.
Two years or under the babies must be,
We promise you good time.

Toolan had consulted an attorney, ira
II. Burns. of Scranton, and had been
advised that the city of Carbondale
was responsible for the damage caused
by the flooding, and not the Delaware
and Hudson company as, suggested by
City Solicitor Staurt
Mr.. Collins held that the city was
liable since 1t lowered the Brooklyn
bridge and narrowed the abutments.
This choked the channel. causing the
stream to leap over the embankment
and flood the abutting properties. He
suggested that the city clean out or
deepen the channel of the creek, in or
der to avert further trouble. He also
would not ask for damages. only that
the city repair thelf cellar walls and
restore the property to it's condition be-
fore the flood.
The complaint and suggestions were
referred to the street committee, the
city solicitor and city engineer, with in
structons to visit the scene OF the
flooding in order to formulate a report
to be presented at later meeting.

He Is in a Dangerous Condition
Due to Attack of Appendicitis.

Martin Duffy, Of Fallbrook street, a
lifelong resident of Carbondale, with
a host Of friends throughout the city,
is in dangerous condition at Emer-

Sunday Duffy was hurried to the hos
pital and fastened to the operating
room where he was operated on for the
removal of his appendix. Tuesday he
was stricken and the disease spread so
rapidly that when it was decided to re-
move him to the hospital he was in a
desperate condition. 1t was an heroic
move to avert a fatal end.
Last night Duffy showed no increase
of unfavorable symptoms. However,
he is not out of danger, as the intestines
are badly involved. The result of the
attack cannot be foretold for a few
days, though there is reason for some
hope for his recovery.
