Council a-Thinking.
TWO INVESTIGATIONS ORDERED
Chief lerbcr Critieised-.Mr. Robinson
Could Not Be l'orccd to Deport a Com
mittee Meeting Which Ho Didn't
Attcud-Otlicr Business.
Two questions, one involving the good
Judgment of the chief of the fire de
partment and another In reference to
gambling In the quarters of Liberty
and Niagara Hose companies, were the
cause of heated discussion and decisive
action by last night's meeting of com
mon council. Another enlivening fea
ture of the meeting was Mr. Robin
son's lirni refusal to report an ordi
nance which, In his absence, hud been
favorably considered by the railways
committee.
Mr. Morris precipitated the matter
by stating that the auditing committee
had objected to the large gas bill for
the Liberty house. When Chief Ferber
was asked if the members played cards
he replied that he didn't think so, but
that he believed the members of th
Niagara company did. Mr. Morris said
the chief's remark caused him (Mr.
Morris) to make an Investigation, and
ascertained that the Niagara mem
era had not played cards In their quar
ters for two years.
Mr. Morris stated that his remarks
would explain a resolution which he
introduced directing Chief Ferber and
the lire department committees to as
certain whether card playing Is car-
led on In either or both of the com
pany quarters mentioned. The resolu
tion was adopted.
Mr. Ilickcy After Mr. l-crbcr.
Mr. Hickey remarked that Chief Fer
ber had loaned the hose of the Niagara
company to be used In flooding the
Base Ball park rink, and that the hose
wus kept a week before being returned
This statement was verllled by Mr.
Morris, who said that he received a
note signed by the chief and directing
that the hose be loaned for the pur
pose specified by Mr. Hickey.
A motion that a special committee
of live members be appointed to Investl-
ate the matter and "heads of the de
partments" was made by Mr. Sweeney,
After Mr. Molr and Mr. Robathan had
bjected to the latter and sweeping
portion c-f the motion, Mr. fiwoeney
hanged it to apply to the chief of the
lire department, whereupon President
Nealis appointed on the special com
mittee Members Morris, Norton, Battle,
Hickey and Howe.
A detective bill of $477 was returned
without recommendation by the audit
ing committee. Xo action was taken
upon it, the apparent intention being
to let it remain in 'the files.
Mr. Robinson, chairman of the rail
ways committee, refused to report un
ordinance which Members iMcLean,
Howe and Crier had considered favora
bly in committee previous to the coun
cil meeting. The ordinance grants th
Scranton Traction company the privi
lege of laying a double track on Frank
lin avenue, between Spruce street and
Lackawanna avenue. Mr. Sweeney re
I'.iested Mr. Robinson to report it. Mr.
Robinson said he was not notified of
he committee meeting and refused to
present the favorable report.
The Iixplunution Given.
Members Sweeney, Battle, Grler and
McLean explained that In the absence
of Mr. Robinson, Mr. McLean acted as
chairman and it was proper that Mr.
Robinson should present their favora
ble consideration of the ordinance. Mr
Robinson again declined to make a re
port and the discussion terminated.
The Scrunton and North End rail
way ordinance was received from the
select branch and referred to corn
mittee, as was also the ordinance for
bidding the laying of cement side
walks.
The meeting concurred In the select
council's exoneration of the All Souls
church from paying an assessment of
:0S for the paving of Pine street.
An adjournment was made until next
Thursday night.

Avenue Baptist Church.

tion In the parlors of the Penn Avenue

large number of friends assembled. The
lecture room was very prettily decor
ated and refreshments were served dur
ing the evening. Mr. Horton has faith
fully discharged the duties of treas
urer of the church for fifteen years,

giigements was compelled to resign the

' THE LITTLE TOTTOON.
It Had a Narrow I'scopo from I'alluro Last
Night.
Professor D. Q. Johns comic opern,
"The Little Tottoon," was presented at
the Academy of Muslo last night. It
was not adequately cast or staged and
the work of Miss Lydla Sailor. Mlsa
Julia Allen and Thomas Williams alone
saved It from absolute failure.
The performance or the company
showed lack of conscientious rehearsal,
while the chorus, consisting entirely of
female voices, proved that discipline!
and training were not Its strong points.

BETTER CITIZENS WANTED.
Prohibitionists Hold a Meeting to Con
sidcr How They Can Be Securcd-Tulllo
Moraun Thinks the Saloon Must l irst
Bo Abolished.
There was a very Interesting meetln
at Conservatory hall last evening, this
being 'the first of a series that will be
held In t'he Interest of good citizenship
by the Central Prohibition league
Charles H. Chandler presided and gave
a brief outline of the purpose of the
meetings that will be held every Thurs
day evening.
The lirst speaker was Andrew Wels
enllue. He was followed by Harry La
throne. Professor D. A. Stone and F.
M. Koehler.
Tallie Morgan had been given the sub
Jeet of "Forces Thait Produce Bad Clti
zenshlp," and his chief topic was the
saloon, the number In Che county and
Its political power. He had prepared
a number of interesting charts in order
to make clear his comparisons. He
showed that the number of saluonn 'had
steadily grown since the passage of t.ho
high license law. In 1S87, the first year
of high license, the number In the coun
ty was 213 and last year the number
was 53i', a growll'h twice as fast as that
of the population. There were 220
legalized saloons In the city open nearly
all the time; 82 churches, including all
denominations, open a few hours each
week, and 3G public sohool buildings,
open about twenty-five hours a week
The internal revenue office books
show that nfai'ly 1,500 ilicenses are 'tak
en out In this county, proving .that
ubout 900 people are selling liquor with
out a license. There is no legalized Ba
loon in the Twelfth ward, but there are
scores of places selling without a li
cense, with the full knowledge of the
officers of the law. Political bribers do
not go to the churches to purc'Wase
votes, but to the saloons. The saloons
create a .purchasable vote, and the
capitalists have the money to buy it.
There can be no reform in the politics
of the city, state or nation so long as
the saloon is permitted to carry on Its
business, and sooner or later the good
people of this nation must ujvite for its
overthrow. Such wus Mr. Morgan's
opinion.
W. W. Lathrope, J. O. Bone, E. L.
Williams and others also spoke on the
subjects under discussion.

" WE RE RIGHT IN THE PUSH,"
When the advertising atmosphere is so
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
GREAT reductions-'-advertising goods
at impossible prices, find no lodging
place in the minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and Gnd new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the mark here.
yet there's a touch of attractiveness in
the stvlcs and assortments. We've add
