TWO CENTS
SUED HIS PHYSICIAN.
Bruce Casteel Claims he has
been Greatly Wronged.


Doctor Said Things About him Based
on Length of Time his leg Refused
to Heal -Casteel Brought Here and
leg Amprtated Interesting Suit
Brought at Uniont0wn Against Con-
nellsyilie Doctor.
Bruce Casteel who lives near town
has brought suit against a Connells-
vile physician for SANDER. The man
sued is DIR. John @. McClenathan. No
statement of the merits of the case
has been made by ID. NJ. Hertzog who
is counsel for the plaintiff.
Casteel was employed as a lineman
on the work being done In Uniontown
and in October 1901 he fell from tel
ephone pole breaking his leg.
He was at once admitted to the hos
pital Ia Conceivable and he was kept
there until July 1902. He was dis
charged then without his leg being
cured. He came here and the menu
Der was amputated.
While in Connellsyille he was treat
ed by Drs. White, Shupe, Mccormick,
Mckee, Atkinson and McClenathan.
Drs. White and shupe lnally perform
ed a difficult operation scraping the
ends of the bones and wiring the frac-
ture together. Even this was unsuc-
cessnL DR.. McClanathan was the
last of the hospital staff to treat Cas-
teel. He had him for private pa
tient for several weeks after the expi-
ration of his usual term of service at
the hospital When Casteel left the
hospital. DR.. McClauathan told him
that on account of some constitutions
al trouble the bones of his leg would
not unite.
About week ago Gasteel went to
Cennellsville, and going TO the physi-
clans who had seen him during his
stay at the hospital, stated that DR..
McCanathan had mangIed his charac-
ter by telling that an infectious con-
stitutfonal disease had interfefed with
his recovery. Gasteel told the doctors
that his character aud moral standing
had been injured by this statements,
and that he sought vindication In the
eyes of his parents aud friends. He
asked for certificates from the physi-
clans, setting forth that SO far as
they were able to See there were no
visible indications Of this disease. Sew
eral physicians granted this request.
being careful to state, however, that
their opinion extended only so far as
outward manifestations were concern
ed Dr. M. b. Shupe would not give
Casteel certificate because he thought
that the failure Of the fracture to unite
was caused by some variety of consti-
tutional trouble.

Postofice Investigation Still
Continued, but Nothing of
Importance Made Public.
TULLOCH'S EVIDENCE WANTED
Ex-Representative Loud in Confer.
ence With Postmaster General.
Present Inquiry Contemplated for
Long Time.

Washington, May 6.-There wete
two important developments in the
postoffice investigation. first the dis
patch of letter calling for the eyi-
dence in the possession of S. w. Tul-
loch, the former cashier of the Wash
ington city postoffice, to suhstantiate
his charges against the administra.
ton of the department several years
ago, and, second the announcement
that the present investigation was
agreed on early last winter
The replies of Mr. Bristow, Post
master Merritt, of this city, and pre-
sumably of ex-Postmaster General
Charles Emory Smith have been re-
eeiyed, but Mr.. Payne stated that all
the replies called for had not yet been
submitted.
Ex-Representative Loud, Of Califor-
MIA. for many years chairman of the
house committee on postotfices and
post roads. and probably a delegate
of the United States to the interna.
tional postal congress to be held at
Rome, Italy, next spring. was in con-
ference with the postmaster general
concerning the investigation The
postmaster general announced to the
newspaper men that the present in
vestigation was contemplated as long
ago as last December and that the
work along the lines now being pur-
sued by Mr.. Bristow was then decid.
ed on. Mr. Payne said this was pro-
vided for in an item in the last appro-
priation act for contingent expenses
of the Office of the postmaster general.
The postmaster general said that
the item. although it has escaped at.
tention heretofore, was agreed ON be.
tween himself and Mr. Loud for the
express purpose of investigating the
postal service after the adjournment
of congress. Mr.. Payne said that he
and Mr.. Loud had had frequent con
ferences on the subject and had
agreed that an investigation should be
made to determine whether changes
IN methods were needed, such as safe
guarding contracts and purchases,
etc. Mr.. Payne said that it was pro
posed to see if any "crookedness" ex.
listed in the department It was big
undertaking, he said, to go out over
the country and take up the investi
cation and the method pursued was
adopted as most likely.to subserve the
interests of the service. He said that
at that time it was not believed there
was any dishonesty.

Trade Tied Up by Strike.

Montreal. May 6.-The longshore-
mems strike is tieing up the trade Of
the country and no settlement of the
difficulty is in sight. The rush Of
shipping to the port since the opening
Of navigation has been unprecedented
and the harbor is congested with
business which would tax facilities
under normal conditions. There are
"a eargo-laden steamers in port and
eight of these are lying idle One
thousand non-union men are at work
on the other vessels, but their work
is offset by the transfers strike. The
Grand Trunk railway notified freight
agents to accept no freight for Mon
treal, either domestic or for export
The Canadian Pacific will only accept
freight at owners risk. Government
troops will replace the volunteer corpJ
guarding the harbor front.
