comply with the provisions of this ordi
nance will mean a fine of not less than
$50 of not more than $100. Thirty
days In the county Jail muBt be served
In case the fine Is not paid. That was
the spirit of an ordinance called up
for third reading in common council
last night by Mr; Battle, the gentleman
from the Twentieth. He prefaced the
motion with a statement that his in
centlve in drafting the ordinance was
not from personal motive, or because,
as he claims newspapers have at
tributed to him, Mr. Frothlngham re
fused to issue passes to councllmen.
Mr. Godfrey moved that the body
form Into a committee of the whole for
the purpose of amending the ordi
nance. Mr. Nealis called Captain Moir
to the ohair and the amendment of Mr,
Gfodrey was voted upon. It moved to
substitute the word "five" for "fifteen"
in the line that regulated the amount of
, tax. Mr. Sweeney moved to lay the
amendment on the table and
the motion was carried, Messrs.
Godfrey, ' Robinson, iHowe and Arja
Williams being the only dissenters.
The ordinance Was reported back from
the committee of the whole and then
went through on third reading. It goes
to select council at the next meeting.
Viaduct Ordinance Passed.
The ordinance providing for the con
struction of a viaduct on West Lacka
wanna avenue over the tracks of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company passed third reading and Is
now ready for the mayor's signature,
This is a notable victory for T. Ells
worth Davles, who is the father of the
order. It passed through the common
through his energy, and in the select
it received splendid support from F,
H. Clemons. Its passage through that
body was due In a great measure to
his able advocacy of the necessity of a
viaduct at that point. Another ordi
nance that passed third reading pro
vided for the repair of the Providence
and Ablngton turnpike under the di
rectlon of the street commissioner, and
making an appropriation for the same.
The ordinance granting a right of
way to the Scranton Rapid Transit
company over certain streets of the city
was killed when Mr. Regan moved to
take It up on first reading. Mr. Regan
moved that the ordinance be passed
on first reading, but there was no one
to second it. Mr. Sweeney moved to
Indefinitely postpone. Mr. Morris
seconded It and the Rapid Transit com
pany s hopes yielded up the ghost with
out a struggle.
Grading Prcscott Avenue.
Mr. Williams introduced an ordi
nance providing for grading Prescott
avenue, and It was referred to commit
tee. The sewers and drains committee
reported favorably on the ordinance
creating the Seventeenth sewer district
in the Eleventh, Twelfth, Nineteenth
and a part of the Twentieth wards.
Mr. Robinson called up the ordinance
ana it passed first and second readings
A number of resolutions . and ordl
nances that came over from the select
council was acted upon favorably,
number of resolutions for erection of
electric lights were introduced.
Messrs. Howe, Sweeney and McLean
were appointed a committee- to confer
with a committee of select council In
relation to the awarding of the contract
for paving West Lackawanna avenue
between the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad tracks and Ninth
street. Before adjourning the resolu
tion passed by select council, awarding
the contract of heating the municipal
building to the Economy Steam Heat
company was concurred in.
Meeting of Select Councils.
The special committee appointed to
inquire into the bills which the audit
ing committee refused to recommend
payment theron reported to select coun
cil last night; but the report was Just
as likely to prolong the refusal of the
upper branch to sanction the bills If
Mr. Clemons had not poured oil on the
turbulent sea by a very timely amend
ment. The committee met in the city
clerk's office, and Mrs. Duggan and
Chief of Police Simpson appeared to
testify.
Mrs. Duggan refused to divulge the
number or the names of the fallen wo
men for whomsheengaged thecarriages
to transport to charitable institutions.
Thecommltteehad two reports to make,
a majority and minority one. Mr. Clark,
who was chairman of the committee,
arose In his place and said that Mrs.
Duggan had refused to Impart the In
formation the councils wanted and
agreed to withdraw the bills and pay
them out of her own salary. That was
what one report stated. Mr. Thomas
another member of the committee, was
very much worked up at Mr. Clark
and told council that Mr. Clark was
making that report on his own respon
sibility. He charged Mr. Clark with
being late at the meeting and, therefore,
the committee did not have the time to
deal properly with case. Mr. Schwenk
moved to continue the committee for
another week and the . motion was
about to Involve some heated discus-
sion when Mr. Clemons aald that he
would offer a motion If Mr. Schwenk
would withdraw his. Mr. Schwenk con
sented and Mr. Clemons moved to dis
charge the committee and order the
bills paid. The motion was agreed to.
Want Patrol Wagon Covered,
Mr. Manly Introduced a resolution In
structing the chief of police to cover
up the patrol wagon when conveying
prisoners throngh the streets of the
city or to the county jail. Other resolu
tions were: That the city clerk be
Instructed to deliver copies of the new
- city digest to the following persons
one to each of the clerks or deputies of
each city department, each alderman
of the city and to all the newspapers of
the city; awarding the contract of
heating the Municipal building to the
Economy Steam Heat company; that

Sketch of Reese Watklns from the West
ern Mall, of Wales.
A letter has been received from Reese
Watklns, who is now visiting in Wales
with his wife, stating that they are en-
jxjuifi inn - ni'itun una naving a
very enjoyable visit. The Westprn
Mall, one of the leading newspapers of
wes, in a recent number printed a cut
of Mr. Watklns together with a skplrli
of that gentleman. Among other things
me luaii saia:
"Reese Watklns, of the Thirteenth
regiment or the National Guard cf
Pennsylvania, Is now on avlslt to his
orotner, Samuel Watklns, builder,
Falrvlew Terrace, Merthyr. Mr. Reese
Watklns Is a native of Brecon, and
emigrated to the United States in 1872
taking up his abode at Scranton, where
he still resides. He joined the National
Guard as a bandsman In 1878, but It
was not until the year 1880 that he was
handled a rifle, the bandsmen up to
that time having been exempted from
musketry practice. He had not long
taken to the use of the gun a Spring
field 45-callbre, fitted with Bufflngton's
sight and wind gauge before he
proved himself to be a capable Bhot,
and he has steadily gone on improving
until he now has a record of achieve
ments as a prize winner which we con
ceive to be quite unique. In resDect
of his performances In Individual shoots
confined to members of his regiment he
has tnree gold medals, four silver
medals and a gold mounted walking
stick, besides another gold medal for
sharpshootlng. He holds a gold mednf
awarded to him as the premier shot

tearn competitions (.tne number of bri
gades being three)' and three gold
medals acquired In team contests for a
trophy open to the army, navy and Na
tlonal Guard of America and the Vol

klns has acted as coach to all the teams
to which he has been attached In the
various tournaments In which he has
taken part, and on many occasions he
has scored highest possible points."

FIGHT OVER LEASES.
Testimony with Regard to Them Heard
Jtcforejudgo Gunster.
There was a hearing before Judge
Gunster In the main court room yes
terday In the injunction case of the
Silver Creek Coal company against W.
W. Patterson, D. E. Taylor and J. Alton
Davis. The complainants seek to re
strain the defendants from making any
sale or transfer, other than to the
Sliver Creek Mining company of the
leases held in their names to a breaker
and a certain piece of coal land In St.
Clair, Schuylkill county, known as the
Earp tract, and also rrom operating
said breaker.
R. C. Luther, superintendent of the
Philadelphia Coal and Iron company,
testified that about March. 1 last W
W. Patterson came to hlnv and nego
tiated for the purchase of the Johns or
Eagle breaker, near St. Clair, about
four miles from Pottavllle. It was un
derstood that the sale of the breaker
was with the understanding that It was
to be used In the .operation of the
Matthews tract owned by the Silver
Creek Mining company. A contract was
drawn un in the names or W. W. Pat
terson and David E. Taylar, signed by
the latter, but never Dy tne company.
Patterson & Taylor went into posses
sion of the lands about the breaker,
but never into possession or the break
er, which Is now In possession of Mr,
Luther for the company. He has hla
own foreman at the breaker.
W. H. Taylor, president of the SIU
ver Creek Coal company, was on the
stand all of the afternoon and testified
that arrangements for the purchase of
the Shaffer or Earp. tract were in pro
gress when he went to Europe In the
latter part or last June. On his return
In September he learned that the tract
had been secured by Patterson, Taylor
and Davis as individuals and not as
representatives of the company. The
hearing will be continued again today
Attorney W. W. Watson appeared
for the company and Major Everett
Warren for the defendants.
In the Father Matthew hall at Oly
phant last night was held a large Re
publican mass meeting which was but
a repetition of the already large list of
similar and successful gatherings at
tending the present campaign. Blake
ly, which is but a stone's throw from
Olyphant borough, is the home of John
R. Jones, candidate for district attor
ney, and Charles P. O'Malley, the
breaker boy candidate for the legisla
ture from the Fourth district, resides
in Olyphant
From the fact of the meeting belns
held at the home threshold of two such
prominent candidates, it was expected
that some sign would be shown for or
against party success. The result of
the rally cannot but prove a source of
gratification to the party leaders.
Early In the evening the borough
was filled with much noise and a corre
sponding amount of harmony. A torch
light procession preceded the meeting,
and included mounted horsemen and
men on foot bearing torches and trans
parencies. The Olyphant band led Hit
parade, which marched through the
principal streets of Olyphant andacross
the river to Blakely. Roman candles
and skyrockets were used in profusion
and formed not the least attractive
feature of the parade. When the pro
cession arrived 'at the hall many were
unable to find even standing room.
Every seat was filled, men were stand
ing several rows deep in the rear of the
auditorium, and access to the stage
was rendered Impossible by a solid jam
in the aisles.
Well Known Men Present.
When the meeting opened the Btage
was occupied by William Davis, ex
lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania,
of Towanda; A. J. Colborn, W. Gaylord
Thomas and George M. Watson, of
Scranton, and the following county
candidates: Joseph A. Scranton, for
congress; R. AV. Archbald, for judge;
Frank H. Clemons, for sherifT; John H.
Thomas, for clerk of the courts; John
R. Jones, for district attorney; Charles
Heuster, for recorder; C. E. Pryor. for
prothortotary; W. S. Hopkins, for regis
ter; C. P. O Malley, for representative
from the Fourth district; J. C. Vaug
han, for senator from the Twentieth
district.
At the side of the stage and In the
body of the hall were seated many well
known Republicans of Olyphant and
vicinity. The audience was composed
principally of laboring men who work
In and about the mines, and a generous
sprinkling of former Democrats was
noticeable. It was a representative
gathering of tolling American wage
earners who, during the progress of the
speechmaklng, lost no opportunity of
receiving good Bound Republican axi
oms with ringing cheers and applause.
After choosing John Pennlman chair
man and Thomas W. Edwards secre
tary of the meeting. Attornev A. J.
Colborn, of Scranton, was introduced
as the first speaker.
Owing to an engagement to BDoak In
this city at the Ex-Prisoners of War
banquet, Mr. Colborn was compelled
to be briefer than he or his hearers
would have wished. In his own crlsn.
bright and inimitable eloquence he al
luded to the strife tor the district; at
torney -nomination between himself.
Mr. Jones and Mr. Watson. During
the reference he called attention to the
many qualities possessed by Mr. Jones
which well fitted him for the office,
'tne nrst mention or Mr. Jones' name
brought forth spirited and long con
tinued applause. The same demonstra
Hon attended the speaker's allusion to
Charles P. O'Malley, the Fourth dls
trlct legislative candidate.
Address by Mr.-I)uvles.
The address of ex-Lieutenant Gover
nor Davis, of Towanda, was a logical.
plain and earnest appeal for support
or protection principles, following a
graphic vocal picture of the mad Demo
cratic policy and the industrial havoc
It has wrought.
He made an argument from the pres
ent crippled condition of a manufac
turing industry In Towanda. That city
depends principally upon an agricul
tural community for its support, Us
only large manufactory being a furni
ture factory which, from a small shop
employing a few hands. Increased until
its payroll contained the names of over
200 employes. During last winter the
ractory was closed, its 200 employes
discharged and 600 persons deprived of
means of support. The product of the
shops could not be sold but filled the
storage capacity of the company. This
business which had thrived and grown
under tariff protection was stifled when
the. tariff tinkering began. "Recovery
was Impossible nine months ago, and
the same condition now exists. -
This and other arguments were used
by Mr. Davis, and when he had finished
it was apparent that he had won con
verts and strengthened old members of
the party.
Other Speeches Mndo-
The speech of W. Gaylord Thomas
referred particularly to the Republican
county candidates. He emphasized the
importance of electing state- and na
tional legislative candidates and ex
plained the results which would follow
Democratic or Republican majorities of
law makers. Of the local ticket he
faithfully described the qualities and
characteristics of the men selected for
the various offices. Any mention of a
candidate's name or special reference
elicited hearty applause which bespoke
Republican snowllakes Nov. 6.
After the meeting terminated It was
the general expression among candi
dates and rank and file that the even
ing had been an argument and evidence
of a sweeping Republican victory,'
terday afternoon suffering, it Is believed,
from, a fracture of the spinal column.
Allen, who Is a carpenter, was work
ing on a crossing and was moving from
one plank to the other when he missed
his step and fell a distance ot forty feet,

A thorough examination will be made
todav. It Is believed that the SDlnal col
umn has been fractured, which will make
his recovery a question ot considerable
time.

FROM TUE AIBIHX BULLETIN, MAY 5,
1894.
One of the Most Kcmarkablo Cures '
That has been effected in years and for
which me bulletin can vouch, has just
come to light through the agency of Dr.
Potter's Kheumatlc Pills.- Thomas Hren
nan, a well known stone cutter of long
standing, is the fortunate victim of this
wonderful cure. A Bulletin man called at
the home of Mr. Brennun. 32 Burber street.
and found him only too willing to talk
over his almost miraculous cure. Early
In lire he learned the stone cutter's trade,
at which he has worked for the past
thirty years. The exposure and dampness
necessary In his work, soon brought on
an- attack of rheumatism which dated
back twenty- elKht years. ,at Intervals,-
ever since. Especially during winters and
springs of each year he .has been a pa
tient sufferer, the disease growing mora
acute with each succeeding year, until
ten years ago he wus taken with a most
violent attack of an Inflammatory na
ture, which contlned him to the houso
that season. Preceding this attack, ev
ery known remedy that was on the mar
ket had been tried, but without effect.
The best local medical attendance and
specialists had been called in, but each
succeeding year the pains grew more
acute and painful, until last winter when
ne wus attacked again lie was so thor
oughly prostrated that he had to remain
in his bed during the entire winter and
could only leave when assisted by mem
bers of his family. Ho was helpless to
do anything for himself, and his food had
to be fed to him like a child. Reading In
the Bulletin of the remarkable cure of
Mrs. Ella Nolan, of 20 Slate street, who
was also a Bufferer from Inflammatory
rheumatism and had been cured by the
use of a few boxes of Dr. Potter's Kheu
matlc Pills, Mr. Brennan sent to the drug
gist for a box and commenced their use at
once. The rest of the story Is told In a
nutshell. The cure was almost Instan
tuneus. From a helpless cripple he Is
now, after less than a month's use, able
to go about the house and walk without
the use of crutch or cane hale, hearty
and vigorous, a perfect picture of manly
vigor.
In his Interview with the Bulletin re
porter, he said: I cannot say too much
In favor of those pills. They have done ev
erything for me.' I feel as well as I ever
did. Nothing helped me as they did. I
tried all kind of liniments and every known
remedy recommended for rheumatism,
but nothing gave me relief. The pain has
not only left my bones and joints, but I
have an excellent appetite, while before I
took them my stomach was all out of or
der. Now I rest at night undisturbed,
wlthut pain or ache. I can conscien
tiously recommend them to all Buffering
from rheumatio troubles.
