Kellnr, the great magician, will be Been at the Academy of Music on Fri day evening In the unequalled series of marvels which he has now arranged after a season of investigation in the old world, to present for the first time to American audiences. Mr. Kellar's ohef d'oeuvres for the season of 1S94-5 Include such daring presentations as "The Mystic Light of Haln." "The Shrine of Koomra Sami," "The Talking Image," "The Mysterious Cabinet." II II II Frohman's company in "The Lost Paradise" will l presented at the Frothlngham on Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday afternoon under the auspices of the Green Ridge wheelmen. When "The Lost Paradise was first produced in New York city It- was not thought that the realistic work shown, that of strikes and dis turbances between capital and labor, would be pictured in every dny life throughout the country. Hut, as though viewing the future through a horoscope, the author forestalled time and pre' aented upon the stage exactly what transpired a little later in most all manufacturing towns. It is a. strong play throughout and Is presented In an admirable manner. II II II Of "Side Tracked," which will be seen at Davis' theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings, the New York Recorder says: ." 'Side Tracked,' a drama of realism, appeared at Jacobs', ond with its many exciting climaxes won the favor of the very large audience present. The median leal features were particularly well an. plauded. As a pleasing contrast to all this excitement a number of other specialties were Introduced in the third act." BUSINESS TROUBLES.

Ordinance -Creating It Has Keen luvora My Considered und and Will lie So Re ported, with Three Amcndincuts, to Se lect Council. The ordinance creating a pa.ld fire de partment after nuany weeks of discus sion and consideration by the fire de- ;artmenlt committee of select council was finally considered ravoruoiy nisi ii'ig'.nt. The committee was unanimous n its opinion tut J 'the ordinance, with three amendments recommended, will Hi-oWdbly be presented tit the council meeting next week, Thursday night. The three points upon wlrlch the com mitteemen have differed at their several meetings were as follows: Fixing 'the salary of the chief eng.neer at JI,i00 in- sttUd of the present Sl.liOo; establishing t'he term of service of members; giving a preference to unpaid members of the present volunteer companies. Mt. Wagner could not be persuaded fromihls belief that $1,200 per annum is sufficient for the chief of the depart ment. Mr. Seftnvenk had remained neu tral on the point, wltih a slight Inclina tion towards Mr. Wagner's opinion, un til lant wight when 'he firmly announced 'himself a3 favorable, to 'the lower Mili ary, which wias lln'ally adopted and will be presented as an 'amendment. An umllnilted term of service, contin gent upon good behavior and physical qualiflrut'lons, was embodied In an amendment, as well as a recommemla- tiion that preference be given to the present volunteer men in engaging members. The ordinance, Which has appeared n substance In The Tribune, provides thuttwo of the present companies nhall be abolished and thalt the call system shall be adopted. This system provides for a certain number of permanent men for each company, and others who Ihnll respond 4o akirnrs and at night iihlall sleep in Che fil e 'houses. Wade M. Fi'nn, of the First ward, its the father of the ordinance, and the other members rf the fire department committee are Couno'.lmen Durr, Wagner, P. Kelly and Sclvwenk. A SUCCESSFUL FIRM. The Popular 1 air to Do Lnlare.cd and Kcmndeled. Although scarcely a year In business, Messrs. Friend & Ruyl have made their establishment, The Fair, the most popular dry goods store In the cdty. It is the Mecca for all shoppers, because the firm sells as It advertises, and nd-vi.-illses nothing that Is not worth the money of any purchaser. It Is a fa vorite shopping place of the best peo ple, of the city, and the service Is prompt and courteous. The Fair has a great sale going on now, In order to make room for necessary alterations. Our Idea," said Mr. Friend to a -Trib une reporter, this morning, "is to make the Fair the most complete dry goods establishment In the city. Our trade de mands this, and you know our motto is to be us good as our trade. The bne ment, which for years has been used ns a book store, we will take possession of shortly, and build a large stairway from the main floor to this part of the build ing, which will be used for the display nnd sale of certain lines of goods. We have also obtained control of the upper floors and will put In an elevator to reach all departments. This will give us a chance to get our millinery de partment properly before the ladles. The Fair Is going to be a store In which a lady can do all her shopping. We are disposing of our stock now for less thnn oost. In order to make room for these necessary alterations." A PUZZLE FOR COUNCILS. Involves Light for the City Hull and an Old Contract. A recent resolution passed by com mon council nnd providing for the solic itation of bids for lighting the city hall and fire company quarters,- was last night considered by tho light and water committee of select council. The com mittee decided to recommend that the resolution be referred to the city solicitor for ihls opinion. A ' matter which has an Important bearing on the resolution Is a recent communication from the Scranton Il luminating, Heat Biid Power company to councils asking that Its service be made less burdensome. This communi cation ... -'ached to the resolution to lie referred to' 'the cliy solicitor. It tlltes tLxit only eeventy-itwo lights were needed when the company made y)l JAfr 'Ho' r'V-w-'-V vw,s -CvxV-; ,r7V!v In the development of Interest In the study of the Kngllsh Hlble the associa tion work has had a prominent place. The workers', Bible training class origi nated by 4 he association, is u unique and wonderfully effective power In Christian work for young man; Its teachers are not trained theologians, therefore they leave all doctrinal dis putes and theological difficulties to the scholars, and combine themselves to teaching the fundamental doctrines of evangelical Christianity they seek to train men In their use of the liible In Christian work. The result has been that hundreds of young men in the churches throughout 'the country have become effective personal workers and valuable Sunday school touchers who otherwise would have been dead timber in the ( hurdles. In the local ussocatlon the religious work has uhvays been prominent yet An I JucutloiUil Class. it Is never ft reed upon any one. The sec ular ct trad ions, so called, are not baits to a religious service, but are real genuine lit tractions In themselves. To win men by the beauty und gentleness of the Christian life, as It la daJly manifested In their presence, lsithe Uk'-a kept prominently in view. In general it can be said that the religious work of the association is car ried on in these lines: First The P.lble training class, which Is taught by the general secretary, teaches men the se cret of personal influence, and how to acquire skill In exerting it upon those whom they meet; second, the personal contact of active Christian men with is now required to furnish COO lights for use in public buildings. Councilmen differ in their opinions as to whether the company is entitled to release from Its contract or should be granted re muneration. The city solicitor's opin ion will cast a weighty Influence over the final consideration of the matter. NEWS OF THE KAILKOADS. The "Comet" Is laid up In the machine shops for generul repairs and re-paint-lng. Secretary Parsall wll speak at the noon-day meting at the machine shops today. William Rtllwell, of the car shops, is making great progress at the Moses Taylor hospital. Lehigh Valley coal and frieght crews nre working but half time. The trade is so depressed that the company Is dividing time among the employes, giv ing each crew about fifteen days a month. Monday might's concert ut the FiiothlnghUm for the benefit of the Railroad Young Men's Chris tian aK,j;i!aitioii jietted $4u0, and the boys were jubilant yesterday over the success of their efforts, and their newly acquired wealth which will be devoted to a praiseworthy object. The committee will balance accounts as soon as possible, und members having tickets unaccounted for should make their returns at once. , The Motion boasts with reason of a run last week from Chicago to Louis ville, ;:3 miles. In 7 hours nnd 50 minutes, with nil actual running aver age of fifty-live miles an hour, and that In Fplte of a blinding snow storm, liy this extraordinary perform ance a theatrical company was able to breakfast in Chicago and take a noon meal in Louisville, arriving there at 12 o'clock. I tall road men, although suffering from the depression in trade, are al ways most generous in assisting their brethren in distress or any of their families who need assistance. A great virtue, however, is that much of the work Is accomplished in private. One prominent case occurred a few days ago when several railroaders on the Delaware and Hudson combined In as sisting Mrs. N. AV. Weiss, widow of the late Telegraph Operator Weiss, who had been In the service of tho com pany but the brief period of six months, yet upon 'his death Vast week a sum of J11I0 was collected uud handed over to the widow, who now resides at Provi dence. This Is but one case In many where good Is done by stealth. The arrest at St. Joseph, Mo., of one Frank Croiian for being drunk has re sulted in the discovery of a bold scheme for defrauding railways. In Cronan's possession were found a large number of tickets, purporting to have been Is sued by the Oeorgla Midland nnd At lantic, a mythical road, and signed by O. M. Day, a mythical general pas sciiger anil ticket agent. The tickets were stamped as having been sold at Nebula. Oa., a station on the Oeorgla Midland nnd C.ulf road. Investigation Is said to have shown that the tickets were printed at St. Joseph and had been ordered by J. D. Ludwlg, a clerk In the general auditor's office of the Hurling' ton, who had conspired with Cronnn nnd one Kelly, also arrested. The tickets were sold by the conspirators through an agency at Hot Springs Ark., and were stumped with a stolen railway stamp. A large number were disposed of, ns fifty-three pounds of paper were printed. ' The roads vie tlmlzed are the Missouri Pacific, Knir sas City.

Everything about this service is bright. Interesting and Instructive. Ing faces, long speeches, long prayers are not tolerated. Plenty of good music, both vocul end Instru mental, ocuples at least half the time of the service; then follows a fifteen minute talk by a business or profes sional man oru minister who is popular with young men. Ten minutes are given for personal testimony from young men us to the value of Chris tianity in a young man's life. An op portunity is given for any man who so desires to make a first profession of faith. Testimony Is Ample. If the men who are now actively In terested In Christian work in Scranton should appear In a body to testify to the place this Sunday afternoon service has had In their lives, and If the strangers, commercial men and others, who al ways form a part of the audience, should return to add their testimony, they would substantiate the statement that this service for the past twenty-six years has been one of the most valuable religious Influences in Scranton. For tills sea:?on the association has engaged Conrad's orchestra and Mr. Tullie Morgan to have charge of the music, They are assisted by the association male glee club, an organization which has been doing some good work during the present season.

Reports from time to time reached the Republican of the remarkable cure of Mrs. Jacob Shields, the wife of our leading coal merchant, who hus been suffering from a complication of dis eases that nearly resulted in her death. in order to verify the3e etatenif nts. one of oor reporters called upon Mrs. Shields and found that the reports were in no way exaggerated, and that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy had siaved her life. The particulars of the case, are these: 'I was taken sick," said Mrs. Shields, 'with typhoid fever, and was delirious for three weeks. When 1 recovered I suffered untold agony with my back and right limb. They felt as though they would burst. At ithe same time I suffered dreadfully with my kidneys. Blood would pass from me most of the time. My mother was with me and a friend of hers called and told her of the sickness they .had passed through at her home, and that Dr. Kennedy's Fa vorite Remedy had been used by them. and she felt sure I would And great benefit from its use. A bottle was purchased, and I hadn't taken but a few doses before it began to relieve me, and in a few days some small, sharp, white stones passed from me. That evening the doctor called, and I told him 'that 1 had stopped his medicine, for he had told Mr. Shields the last time he called that he did not know fhat more to do for me. Some time before this, I was taken to the hospital, and then brought home, as was supposed, to die, Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy was taken Just in time. I do thank Uod from the bot tom of my heart that he ever sent that lady here to tell me of Favorite Reme dy, otherwise death would have been tny doom. Since I recovered, ever so m;."iiy have fold me that it was a mira cle 1 ever got well. I certainly cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. "Many persons are using lit upon my recommendation, and It Is doing them good. I will cheerfully answer any questions," said Mrs. Shields, "In re gird to my illness, feeling that others who may be suffering will be benefitted by using Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Rem edy." No tribute could be greater than these words of Mrs. Shields, who vol untarily tells the story of her remarka ble recovery. Favorite Remedy ranks with the medical profession as the most perfect of all blood and nerve medicines. It will cure ull diseases of the skin, liver and kidneys, and the weaknesses pecu liar 'to females, ami affords great pro tection from attacks that originate in change of life. It cures scrofula, salt rheum, rheumatism, dyspepsia, all kid ney, bladder and urinary diseases, gravel, diabetes and bright s disease, V. P. S. C. IC.
