6 Up The JERJ1YN. Bard Work to Keep Trolley Lino Open Efforts Quite successful A Farmer Narrowly Escapes being Frozen to Doatb. A Young Man Shot at I'ay Day and Other Notes The stormy weather of the past few day! baa been responsible for a number of deaths and were it not for timely discovery Curt Miller, a farmer from Greenfield, would have met a similar, fate Monday night. He was seen in town with his team Monday and those who saw him could notice that he was visibly affected by the storm or something else. Probably the latter.

He drove from Archbald in the afternoon and followed the street car track all the way. Fortunately no car came along at the time or he and his team would have fared badly in the cut below the Powder mill switch. He spent several hours in some of the saloons here and then started for his home in the country. In the evening a young man saw a team stuck in a snow bank on the road between the toll gate and Clark Grosvenor's farm. 'He at first supposed that the team ran from town, but upon looking in the sleigh saw a Man.

He tried to rouse Miller, but his efforts were of no avail. The unfortunate man was benumbed with the cold and had he not been discovered he would have been frozen to death. Tn4 road is not very much traveled at night and more especially such nights ae was Monday night, and Mr. Miller can be thankful that he was discovered. The young man got assistance and had Miller removed to a house nearby.

The team was also taken care of. The owner is in bad shape now. His nose, chin, fingers and ears are badly frostbitten. He will probably remember his experience for years. Another serious accident occurred at the Erie crossing at Mayfleld Monday afternoon.

George Sontag, a driver for the Peter EECrants brewery at Carbondale, was re tnrntng after delivering beer in town. Kb turned his team to get out of the way of a street oar and as the road is wary narrow at that point, he started acxou the D. H. tracks. He did not notice the approaching passenger train.

Tlje engine struck' the team and the driver was thrown about fifty feet. Bystanders, who witnessed the accident, ran to his assistance and carried him to the engine room of the Erie shaft. Merical aid was summoned and upon examination it was found that his back was badly injured and that be had sustained numerous bruises about the hofly. He was taken to his home at Carbondale later. One of the horses was instantly killed and the other received numerous cuts and bruises about Ue legs.

The wagon, which was filled with empty beer kegs, was badly wrecked. Sam Cramer was in Squire Swick's of Bued for the arrest of two men whose sued for the arerst of two men whose names he didn't know. He claimed that while driving along down at Winton two men were in the road and when be asked them to step one side and allow him to drive past they refused. One of the men grabbed the horse by the bridle. Cramer took the whip to compel the man to release his grip on the horse.

He no sooner began to belabor the man when he pulled a revolver and fired at him. The bullet made a hole In his trousers, but did not enter his body. By this time he was thoroughly frightened and drove away with all possible speed. He gave a description of the two men and an effort will be made to capture them. Despite the blizzard weather that prevailed Monday the street cars were kept running with remarkable regularity until late in the evening.

How it was possible to avoid having the line tied up earlier was surprising to those who have a knowledge of the work. A contrivance perfected by Superintendent Joseph Dempsey was of great benefit during the storm. It is a small scraper that hangs in front of each wheel and is so arranged that it throws the snow sufficiently far from the track so that it does not interfere with the running of the cars. The storm was the severest test possible and the scrapers did their work in a most successful manner. If Mr.

Dempsey puts them on the market they would meet with a ready sale, as they supply a long felt want which is felt more especially by traction companies. A mass of requiem was celebrated in the Sacred Heart church yesterday morning for the happy repose of the soul of Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara. The deep snow did not deter a large number from being present.

The employes of the Erie, Keystone, and Glenwood collieries were paid on Monday. Mr. A. W. Walkey was at the county Beat on business Monday.

At the close of the lecture Jessie Cooper sang "Asleep in the Deep" In his usual interesting manner, after which the professor gave several very pretty recitations.

The entertainment was to have been given Friday night of this week preceding the local institute to be hold on Saturday, but owing to other engagements nr the speaker it was dated one week earlier.

TAYLOR. Last evening the performance of "The Merry Milk Maids" was repeated by the choir of the Calvary Baptist church under Professor D. E. Jones. The rink was well filled and the performers rendered their parts well.

The singing of the choruses by the milkmaids was beautiful, the tones in the upper registry being pure, while the voices in the Brigade, the Farmers Boys and the Jolly Gentlemen were not so well blended. A little more practice together would remedy this. Burgess J. E. Watkins as Commodore and Beggar, with bass voice, did his part well and proved to the audience that he is at home on the stage.

Thomas John as Doctor Franz Riabiter, M. D. S. V. P.

D. and as a peddler selling notions, did the with perfect grace, his rich voice having telling effect in the duets. His interpretation of the Dutch doctor in the dialogues was very amusing. Mr. Richard Watkins as judge filled the role as to the singing with perfect ease, but he should put more dignity to the honorable position he represents.

Farmer Jim, represented by Mr. Harry Evans, as the rejected lover, did very nicely. His sweet tenor voice after the future has been made known to him by Mother Monica when he sings "Hope," showed that its full scope is given. A little more vim after the wedding ceremony in the bridal chorus would improve the acting considerably. Farmer Joe, by Mr.

John Evans, was well carried out both in the singing and dialogue. Miss Edith Wynn Watkins represents the Queen of the Milkmaids and did herself credit in her difficult solos. Her song "Lullaby" was the best rendered, and her sweet so prano voice is to be heard clear through the chorus that accompanies her. Old Mother Morlnca, the Indian fortune teller, was represented by Miss Olwen M. Howell.

She impersonates this character with ease and grace as if she had been a born fortune teller. Her acting is also superb and with a little effort she wculd make a mark on any stage. Dorothy, the winsome little milkmaid who causes all the trouble to Farmer Jim, was taken by Miss Llddie E. Hoskins and she did the part of rejecting Farmer Jim and falling in love with the commodore true to nature, but when she is informed by Dr. Richter that the commodore is no peer from India she feels badly, but soon forgets and returns to Farmer Jim.

The other solos rendered by Misses Henrietta Harris, Bertha Rose, Lucy Winters, Gertie Watkins and Mamie Frances were well executed. It is hoped the performance will be repeated some time during the months of March or April. Dr. and Mrs. J.

L. Griffiths are rejoicing over the arrival of a daughter. Miss Susie Schuber and Mr. Hubert Higham of Scranton, charming players on the banjo and mandolin respectively, have been engaged for the concert at the M. E.

The great poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes, once said: "If all drugs were thrown into the sea, it would be all the better for mankind, and all the worse for the fishes." Of course the genial poet referred only to poisonous drugs as used by most physicians.

He certainly could not have meant all medicines, for Nature, in her woods and fields, has been most prolific in yielding up her treasures of harmless, vegetable remedies for every disease. The wonderful discoveries of the famous Dr. Greene of 35 West 14th New York City, amply prove the fact. Indeed, this skilled specialist in the treatment of nervous, chronic and lingering com plaints, uses in his enormous practice absolutely no poisonous drugs, but con fines his treatmont solely to the use of harmless vegetable remedies. His world wide known medicine, Dr.

Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem edy, is only one of hts many remark able discoveries. His extraordinary success in curing diseases of whatever name or nature, the innumerable restorations to health under the use of these marvelous curative medicines as prescribed by Dr. Greene, establish beyond doubt that Nature has provided remedies for each and every phase of disease, and that Dr. Greene, by his deep investigations and his enormously large experience, has discovered and prepared remedies which surely and certainly cure these complicated cases of chronic disease. Any sufferer can demonstrate this fact, as Dr.

Greene gives all the privilege of consulting him, personally or by letter, absolutely free of charge. If you are out of health and have failed to be cured, see Dr. Greene at once, or write to him freely and fully about your case. You can do so in perfect and absolute confidence. He will explain your complaint and advise you what to do to be cured.
