BOARD HAS AWAKENED.
Smith SIdi! Industry boomers Hold o
Lively Meeting During Which They He
noum-e a Number of Alleged Public
Abuses.
There was a meeting of the South
Side board of trade last night, and It
was very Interesting while It lasted,
The principal matter which engaged
attention came up for discussion after
the report from the committee on
streets and highways was heard. C
G. Boland is the chairman of this com
mlttee, and he said there Is nothing
new, unless It 1a the fact, that the
streets are still on the surface of the
earth. Considering the fact that coun
cilmen have so shamefully neglected
the repair of the highways, It Is a mat
ter of congratulation that they have
not sunk In shame below the level.
Treasurer Michael Miller thought
that more than half of the blame for
the -wretched condition of the streets
ought to be laid at the door of the Scran
ton Traction company. The ordinance.
he said, which granted the company
franchise permitting1 the laying of Its
tracks, specifically provided that both
rails should be planked on each side.
It was a shame to let the company lay
a "T" rail at all; but when that permls
slon was given on unpaved streets. It
was a little consolation that the rails
would have to be planked.
For a time the company lived up to
this provision of the ordinance, but at
the present itlme. along the entitle
South Side line, there Is not a single
foot of planking except at the intersec
tlon of streets. Mr. Miller laid all the
blame for this neglect of the street car
company upon the newspapers of the
city and the councilmen.
Free Pawwoa Usnuunwil.
He claimed that, Inasmuch as they
accepted free passes, they are muzzled
If not absolutely subsidized. These
Bsntlments were shared by Chairman
John Scheuer, C. G. Boland and M. V.
Judge. The latter made a motion In
strutting Secretary O'Toole to write to
the city clerks of cities where trolley
lines are operated, and ask for Informa
tion concerning the privileges the re
spectlve councils uccord to their street
car companies. Mr. Judge preceded
his motion with the remark that Scran
ton is undoubtedly the most corpora
tion-rldden city in the United States.
Speaking further on street Improve
ment another discussion became gen
ernl when Secretary O'Toole introduced
for consideration the action of common
council In draughting an ordinance for
the regulation of the width of wagon
tires. Mr. Boland spoke at length on
this subject, and so did the other mem
bers, but no action was taken.
l et Consolidation Alone.
Mr. Boland advised the board to le
the consolidation question severely
alone; because, he had spoken to
number of the prominent members o
tho central board and all of thorn
agreed that the Idea was not a feasible
otre. Accordingly the consolidation
question was lowered Into an untimely
sepulcljer. .
No member of tho special sewers and
drains committee was present and
therefore no report was received. The
Chair continued tho committee and
report Is looked for at the next me?t
lug.-' Grocer Ambrose Hens, of Pros
pect avenue, paid up his dues and then
resigned, or rather the secretary per
formed that favor at Mr. Herz's In
stance. The reason he assigned for
his resignation was that the majority
of the board is In favor of sewers for
the South Side, and he is not. Since
he could not twist the majority to stilt
his views, he decided to resign. Mr.
Boland thought that It would be too
bad to lose such a public-spirited
member and he moved that the chair
man 'be appointed a committee of one
to dissuade Mr. Herz from his purpose,
A bill of J25 for the secretary's salary
for a half-year was approved. Treas
urer Miller announced the receipts of
the meeting as $28, and the line
quorum put on their coats and left for
home.

Art of Cooking Fish.
The art of fish cookery, the prepara
lion or delectable sauces and .some
hints about the chemical com
position of the finny tribe were de
scribed by Miss Cross in her afternoon
cookery lecture. She said that cheml
cal analyses have not warranted the
theory that fish is a brain food and
tnat fishermen and others who eat
large quantities of fish are not con
spicuous for their brain power. Phos
phorous Is present In small quantities
in the flesh of fish, which makes It im
perative that it should not be handled
with an Iron fork.
The distinction beitween fish of
white flesh and others vwith a colored
iint is uue to tne fact that In one tho
oil is confined to Ithe liver and in the
other the oil is distributed.
in Boiling tlsli Miss Cross recom
mended that the fish be placed in
cheese cloth, as by this means It can be
lifted without breaking. It should be
boiled for fifteen minutes for everv
pound; a little salt in the water im
proves the flavor.

W. W. WESTON INDICTED.
Ho Went from lloncsdulo to New York to
Answer tho Charges Drought Against
llim -llcld in f.VOOO Hull.
William V. Weston, of Honesdale,
was indicted by the grand Jury of New
York four times yesterday for aiding
and abetting the alteration on certain
notes which were signed by H. E. Sim
mons and a merchant In New York.
He was brought before Recorder Goff
and held In $5,000 ball. Wllllum Brook
field, chairman of the Republican coun
ty committee, went on his bond and he
was released.
The story of the case Is complicated,
even as modern business transactions
go. It grew out of an effort made to
take advantage of the new tariff by
speculating on whiskey before the
Wilson bill became a law. The com
plalnunt was 11. E. Simmons, a wealthy
New York contractor, who lives in New
Jersey.
Simmons Signed the Notes.
At the 'time in question he was some
what Bhort of ready money to carry
through some of 'his schemes. D. J,
Kellam, who represented himself as a
wealthy man, a man of schemes as
well, proposed the whisky deal. He in
duced Simmons to sign four notes of
$6,000 each to be used for the purpose
of purchasing the spirits.
It is alleged that the dates on the
notes were changed and that they were
not used for the purposes which they
were given but were 'hawked about
town and sold for 25 cents on the dol
lar.
Went Volunturily to New York.
W eston is being Indicted for being a
party to the scheme. He was present
when the plan was originally decided
upon and also when one of the notes
was sold to John M. Morgan. Mr. Wes
ton went voluntarily to New York. He
is well known in this city.
FRIENDS WELCOME HIM.

Wilfred Clurke's company, which ap

notice from the fact that D. W. Seism
a former Scrantonlan. Is with the ag
gregation. He has made rapid strides
In the theatrical profession since leav
ing the city, and has an Important
part in Mr. Clarke's company.
Last night Mr. Seism's parents and
elatlves witnessed the play from
box, and a number of his old friends
gave him a cordlul reception from other
parts of the house. . Ho Interpreted the
character of Baron Elssbrook, an
ardent but bashful lover. Mr. Clarke
as Major Wellington DeBoots fulfilled
all that has been asld of him as a clever
and artistic comedian who depends on
art rather than bufoonery to amuse
his audience. The balance of the com
pany is exceptionally good. "Tit for

serving of liberal patronage.

entire stock at a sacrifice.
We will commence this great sale on next Monday, Jan. 7, and will
continue about 10 days.
