Councilman Csucus to Consider the Posi
tions on Board uf Revision and
Appeal.
The Republican members of select and
common council gut quietly together in
the mayor's uHlce last night and held a
caucus at which the coming election of
a board of revision and appeals was
discussed at length. The various phases
of the matter were thoroughly gone
over, but no definite action was taken.
As there are fifteen or more council
men avowed candidates for the live po
sitions on the board, there Is likely to
be some fun when the election comes
off tomorrow night. All sorts of slates
and combinations are being made, but
It would not be surprising if the fight
simmered down to a party vote. Inas
much as councils ure about equally di
vided politically, and the Republicans
by their caucus have drawn the party
lines.
At all events It Is very doubtful that
any oltlxen outside the council will se
cure one of the positions; In fact, there
are few men audacious enough to look
for it. For the sake of appearances,
however, one side or the other muy put
on an outsider providing one can be
found who can swing a councilman or
two with him.
The Democrats have held no caucus.
Over half of them are candidates, and
they are going It alone, each making a
personal canvass and caring not who
Is defeated or elected so long as he
comes out all right. None of them have
attempted any gigantic movement
towards cornering the convention, but
there is scarcely a man "who is not on
at least eleven slates.
Here Is the way the case stands at
present: The selectmen want a major
ity of the board. They have twenty
one votes. The commoners want a ma
jority of the committee and have a like
number of votes. The Republicans
want to capture the board and have
twenty-one votes and possibly Inde
pendent Mr. 'Loftus. which would make
twenty-two. The Democrats will take
all Ave positions if they can get them
with twenty votes and Independent Mr.
Loftus. It is not likely that any con
servative bookmaker would like to
make a pool on the result.
SOL SHEPARD'S SCHEME.
lie Started the Employer's Clearing House
on Wyoming Avenue.
What was 'believed to have been a
bogus employment agency In the Odd
Fellows' building on Wyoming avenue
was closed yesterday morning by Chief
of Police Simpson on complaint of At
torney C. L. Hawley, who has offices
in tine same building.
The employment concern was opened
only on 'Monday by a person colling
himself Sol Shepard, who says he is
from the west. He styled his business
"The Employer's Clearing House" and
"The Advertising Business Exchange."
To applicants for work who answered
his advertisements In the papers Shep
ard exacted a fee of from II to $5 for
finding them wurk.
The employment bureau was visited
by many In search of work, and a few
of the applicants parted with the fee.
Several of them entered Mr. Hawley's
office and expressed! to him their opinion
that the business of the "exchange"
was not so responsible as It ought to
be. Mr. Hawley conferred with the
police department and Shepard made
but little remonstrance when told he
would have to seek pastures new and
greener.
Circulars, registration blanks, con
tracts and other papers In the office
announced that branches were located
In the "East, West, North and South."
Similar schemes have been worked In
Scranton, and after securing an appli
cant's fee the custom has been, after
an interval of a week or more, to refer
the gullible person to a firm In some
remote city. Invariably that has end
ed the transaction.
A young man living on. Madison ave
nue was in the "agency" at the time of
Chief Simpson's visit and was consid
ering a proposition to pay Shepard $100
for the privilege of being made a part
ner with the title of "resident man
ager," Attorney Hawley told Shepard he
would prosecute him If he continued' the
business and the latter said he would
close temporarily while he secured ref
erences. To this MV. Hawley replied
that If the business was legitimate,
Shepard ought to keep open and face
the thing out.
The door of the establishment was
kept open until noon when Shepard
closed up for the day. He tacked a
sign on the door reading, "Will be back
at 2.45," ibut he did not return.
WILL HAVE A RECEPTION.
Christian Endeavor Delegates to Be Given
a KotiHlng Send-Off.
The fifty or more delegates from
Northeastern Pennsylvania to the
Christian Endeavor convention at Erie'
will bo tendered a reception at Young
Men's Christian association hall prior
to their departure on the 12.10 Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western train to
night. The reception committee will consist
of three regularly elected representa
tives from each of the flcranton so
cieties, but It Is expected that many
others will be present, as arrangements
have been made to have street cars
run to all part of the city after the
departure of the train. The evening
will be given up to the reception of out-of-town
delegates. From 9.30 till 10.30
a varied programme consisting of lit
erary and musical numbers will be
rendered, after which refreshments
will be served until 11.30, when all will
accompany the delegates to the station
to give them a rousing send-off.

Later Date-Prlmarlea Will Be Bold
t Regular Polling Places on
Sept. 14 from 4 to 7 p. ra.
Wt a meeting of the Republi
can County committee, hvld yesterday
afternoon in the rooms of the Central
Republican olubon Washington avenue.
It was oVciiJifd to hold the Republican
County convention In the cou:t house
at 2 p. m. on September 17. The pri
maries will be, ht!d at the regular poll
ing pliaues on September 14, front 4 to
7 p. 'nv
At 2 p. m. the committee was called
to order by the chairman, Colonel E. H.
Ripple, and Secretary W. 8. Millar read
th foil, about three-fourths of th
niemlxi.-s of it he committee answering
to thebr names,
After tha business for which the com
mittee was assembled had been stated,
Wad M. Finn moved that the county
convention! be iheld on Tuesday. Sep
tember 17, at 2 p. m. in t'h court howre,
to nominate candidates for coroner and
surveyor, and Ilia t the primaries b?
held on the preceding Saturday at the
regular pulling places between the
hours of 4 and 7 p. in.
Attorney W. E. Davis, of the Six
teenth ward, amended the motion to the
effect that the convention be hekl one
week earlier than fhe date named ty
Mr. Finn, and that the convention also
elect delegate to the national conven
tion. Debating tho Amendment.
This amendment caused considerable
debate. Many of the committeemen
were of the opinion that September 10
waa late enough to hold the county con
vention, while others were equally as
confident that September 17 was the
proper date. A. F. Hobbs, of Fleet
vllUf, was one of tine committeemen
who favored September 17, and he said
so In a. speech of some length.
He thought It advisable to put off the
convention until t,he Htet possible date.
The party, he said, was Just emerging
fi:om a warm faotlon'al fight that hid
embroiled 'Mi hudsT as well as the
rank and file oH over the staite, and in
view cf this fact he thought It wise to
give as much time as possible for the
excitement cautd by the state fight to
subside before holding the county con
vention. As he viewed the situation it
was only "comimon decency and fair
ness," that such a course should be
adopted by the committee,
John G. McAskle and W. H. Withers
took exception to the words "common
decency and fairness" used by Mr.
Hobbs. and called upon him to enlighten
the committee as to Jus t what he meant
when he made use of these words.
Other committeemen reinforced their
request, and Mr. Hobbs again took the
floor.
What Us Meant by ths Words.
He said there was no sinister meaning
wrapped up in his words. After tha
exciting fight which Is now closing, end
In which the membe-rs of the panty In
this county were recently mixed up, he
thought It wlue to allow whatever bit
teriis3 might have been aroused In
that fight to subside before undertaking
another campaign. It was the pact of
wisdom to do so, he thought, and that'
wilrat ihe meanit when Ike used the
words "common decency and fairness."
Joseph Lewis, of the, West Side, asked
the chairman if any officer of the
county committee had made an effort to
have the convention held on July 29.
Colonel Ripple and Secretary Millar
said that they had not, and Mr. Lew in
then read a letter that sought to obtain
his opinion on 'that date for a conven
tion. -He refused to give the name of
the writer, however.
E. E. Robathan declined to leave the
committee In dar kness concerning the
matter and said he sent such a letter
to (Mr.' Lewis and several other Wert
Side members of the committee. The
date mentioned had been suggested for
the convention, and he desired to get
the opinion of the committeemen from
bis vicinity on' the matter as he was
about to leave the cifty for a time.
Mr. Davis' Amendment Lost.
Colonel. Ripple put Mr. Davis' amend
ment that the convention be held on
September 10 before the body and It
vftea loot iby a vote of 25 to 29. Mr.
Finn's motion In Its original form then
came up and was cairrled.
As this motion did not say anything
about electing national delegates,
Thomas Dale moved that they be chosen
at the county convention and the mo
tion carried. Colonel Ripple thanked
the members of the committee for the
splendid work they did last fall and
the committee adjourned.
AN EVENING WITH BURNS.
Given by Miss Jesu llowlson In the Y.
M. C. A. Hall.
Miss Jean Howlson, of Perth, Scot
land, addressed a meeting at Young
Men's Christian association hall last
night on Robert Burns and his poems.
She is a lady who Is thoroughly Imbued
with the subject of her discourse, and
her beaultful tribute to ths work and
genuls of the ploughman poet showed
that she had given patient study and
much thought to the life and Immortal
lines of Burns.
In connection with her address Miss
Howlson recited a number of Burn's
poems, among them "Man was Made
To 'Mourn," "A iMan's a Man for
a' That," and "To Mary In Heaven,"
with rare delicacy and feeling.
Burns, she said, possessed the true
poet's soul, which, like the Bollan harp,
needed only the breath of wind to evoke
music, the saddest or sweetest as the
poet willed. He was the first to show
ths world that the 'highest poetry re
sides in the moft lowly subjects. Burns
was the bard of liberty. He resisted
oppression and "A Man's a Man For
a' That," the speaker described as a
watchword to future generations
against slavery. He enabled labor
and Immortalised the Scotch peasants.
HOMEOPATHS WILL MEET.
Regular Session Will Re Held la Wilkes

IN A QIEEB POSITION.
Ssbool Board Doss Not Know What to
Do with Professor I. H. Davsy.
A meeting of the school board of
Lacka wanna Township waa held at No.
I school, Mlnooka, last evening, at
whtcth tt was expected the directors
would settle the matter of appointing
a principal for the position of the Pyne
school, nado vacant y tbe transfer of
Prof. T. G. Osborne from that school to
the new Otoooto school.
By the sending of Prof. Ooborn to
Moo sic, Prof. I. H.'Davey was thrown
out of a Job, unless ho would be ao
cepteofby the denlsene at the Pyne.'
'Director (Morgan, of "the Arch bald
mines, represents) tin district In which
to located the Pyne school, and he was
not saOsned to accept Prof. Davey as
the successor of Prof. Osborns. M look
as If ttie board will not press Prot
Davey on him, and ths oat look for Mm
teacher k tttat may be dropped al
fa meeting last ulcbt waa so (teal
with the appointment of a teacher for
the Pyne school. Director G. T. Davis,
owing to the death of an uncle, Llew
ellyn Houkln. of Green Ridge, who
passed away yesterday morning, was
not present at the meeting ana tne otner
five directors decided not to act in his
absence, and the board adjourned until
Monday, August U. at 7 p. m. to setti
the question. They decided, however,
to open schools on the first Monday of
September.
Prof. K. N. Davis, of Archbald. waa
present witti a view toward Interesting
the board in the adoption of drawing In
the schools. The matter waa railroaded
to the pigeon hole department, as well
as the effort of Prof. Harvey Le Bur
dirk, of Scranton, to sell some dlction
aris. NEGOTIATIONS ABE OFF.
Fred S. Godfrey Will Not Run ths New
Hotel Jermyn.
Fed fl. Godfrey, proprietor of the
Lackuiwouna Valley house, will not
lease the new Hotel Jermyn. All ne
gotiations between Mr. Godfrey and
John Jermyn, owner of rhemagninclent
structure now 'building, were declared
off yesterday.
The hotel, when completed, will be
the most costly and possibly the hand
somest structure in Scranton or this
section of the state, and on this account
and because of the prominence of the
parties concerned, the building and it
probable lessee had (for months been a
toplo of discussion In business and
building cycles. It had been a general
ly accepted fact that 'Mr. Godfrey
would be the 'proprietor, and a report
of last week that he' had signed the
lease was published and waa not pub
licly denied by either of the two prin
cipals. I'nslgned Lease Returned.
To a Tribune reporter last night both
Mr. Jermyn and Mr. Godfrey stated
that during the day the unsigned lease
4iad 'been returned to the former, and
It was emphatically announced by each
that negotiation. would not be renewed
between them. Neither; however,
would designate the particulars of what
caused the failure .to make the agree
ment; still, it might be Inferred from
tha substance of the two Interviews
that the ISO.OOO annual rental had noth
ing Immediately to do with the matter.
The disagreement seems to have
arisen from a difference of opinion as
to the number of years the lease should
run and the period of renewal privi
lege. There w?re other minor differ
ences as to details, hut these were com
paratively Immaterial, and would not
be discussed by either of .the parties
concerned.
Cost of ths Building.
The original architect's estimate of
cost was $250,000, that sum being based
upon plans which provided that the
first four stories should be of stone and
the three upper stories of brick. Later
It was decided .to use stone for all the
seven stories, and other changes in the
plans were made which 'brought the
total cost up to at least 1300,000. A
conservative estimate of the value of
the land and the building with Its full
equipment, 'but not Including furniture,
has ibeen placed at a half million dol
lars. A 6 per cent. Income from the prop
erty would be $30,000, and that Is pos
sibly only a little .more than would be
the total rentals from the stores In the
'building and the hotel proper.
Mr. Jermyn Is authority for the state
ment that two or three prominent hotel
men have expressed a desire to rent
the hotel.
STEIN USED A HAMMER
Ho Strnek His Wlfo on ths Forehead
with It.
Joeph Stein, of 317 Garfield avenue.
hit hla wife on the head yesterday after
noon with a hammer, inflicting an ugly
wound.
Stein and his wife had been drinking,
and then began to Quarrel. Mrs. Stein
picked up a hammer and struck her
husband several light blows with It.
He grappled with her, wrested the
hammer from her and dealt hera crush'
Smg blow on the forehead which ren
dered her unconscious for a time.
Stein was taken to the West Side
station house by cltltens Albert Daivls
and David Hariris. Mrs. Stein says she
will not prosecute her busband. Her
injury Is not serious.

running through New York state will
be in vogue on the Lackawanna.
Whether or not this region will again
be treated to a. cheap excursion next
Sunday cannot be stated, as none of the

It was thought that an end bad been
reached so far as 'Mr. Smith's ridiculous
charges were concerned.
Mr. Burns sued Mr. Smith for libel,
placing his damages at S50.O00, that his
defamer might have an opportunity to
substantiate the very gratvo charge
preferred in Mr. Smith's paper book.

"The plaintiff's minor son, James
Jennings, on the 10th day of October,
A. D. 1H88, was a passenger In a pas
senger car on the Lehigh Valley rail
road. By the negligence of the said

In January, A. D., 1889. the said James
Jennings, by his next friend, John G.
Jennings, brought an action against the
Lehigh Valley Railroad company In
which he claimed damages In the sum
of $50,000 for his Injuries received as
aforesaid. And at the same time the
plaintiff, John G. Jennings, brought an
action against the said company In
which he claimed damages In the sum
of $5,000 for the loss of his minor son's

This dreadful disease cannot
fasten upon childhood when the
system is fortified with that great
raw food extract known as
Bovinine
The medical profession in gen-

medicine. Add a few drops to
baby's milk. Nothing will build
up health and strength so quickly.
