Affiliated Boards of Lackawanna
County in Session.
IJOROIGH COINCILMEX SCORED
Tho First Convention of Its Kind Ever
Held in the State-Two Eminent Sani
tarians of Philadelphia Present.
New Souitary Code Discussed.
The first semi-annual convention of
the Associated Boardsof Health of Lack
awanna county was hold yesterday In
the board of health rooms, in the city
hall. Two sessions were hold, one in
the afternoon and one in the evening.
The event was remarkable for two reu
sons. First, because It was the first
convention of Its kind ever held In this
state, this ' organization being the
pioneer of affiliated county boards;
second, the sessions wore honored with
the presence of two of Pennsylvania's
greatest sanitarians. Dr. Benjamin
Lee, of Philadelphia, secretary of the
state board of health and Dr. W. U. At
kinson, of Philadelphia, secretary of
the associated boards of health of Penn
sylvania. The convention opened shortly after
2 o'clock, with (Dr. J. K. (Bentiey In the
chair. There were present the follow
ing officers and delegates:

Dr. Itenilcv's Opening Address.
Dr. Bentiey delivered a short opening
address, after which he Introduced Dr.
Benjamin Lee, who gave a lengthy and
learned dessertatlon 'on the sanitary
code of Pennsylvania for the restriction
of communicable diseases. In his pref
atory remarks he outlined' the growth
of health boards In this commonwealth.
Ten years ago, when the state board of
health was organized, there were only
fifteen municipal boards In existence.
Now there are 600 boarda, and It Is
hoped that by the enactments of the
next legislature 1,500 boards will be or
ganized. Dr. Lee commended the organization
of the associated boards In this county,
the first and only organization of Its
kind In the state, and hoped that the
sanitarians of Lackawanna county
would be emulated throughout the
state.
'He then had read the new sanitary
code, approved June 18, 189."i, which
makes of a board of health an independ
ent body' co-ordinate with the councils
ar. l not a creature of it. Dr. Lop point
ed out the most important phases of the
new law and gave a detailed explana
tion of some seemingly ambiguous
clauses. The law gives the board
almost unlimited powers. It lays down
very strict regulations which boards
are Instructed to enforce and In addi
tion gives the hoard the power to make
the regulations even more stringent if
it so wishes.
With Regard to the Social Kvll.
The question of regulating the social
evil was touched upon lightly by Dr.
Lee. He hoped In a few years that the
matter would receive legislative atten
tion. Placarding houses where cases of
contagious diseases are located Is, by
the new law, left to the discretion of
local boards. 'Dr. iLee spoke In favor of
placards and advised the local hoards to
make this clause mandatory. Many
people, he said, contend that placard
ing Is liable to create a panic and that
a person In dreRd of a disease is more
liable to contract the disease. He
scouted this Idea and argued that a
panic was very often a desirable thing
as "a good, wholesome dread" of a dis
ease has the effect of waking people up
to the necessity of better sanitation.
Among the many new features of the
law upon which iDr. Leo laid particular
stress was the clause governing tinder
takers. 'Hereafter 'they will not be per
mitted to use an Ice box In cases of
death from contagious disease and It
will be the duty of the undertaker to
print the notice of doRth and to have
appended "no funeral." This latter
clause- Is to prevent members of the
afflicted family from frolng to tho
newspaper offices, as Is usually done,
thereby placing newspaper men In dan
ger of contracting the contagion. Dr.
Lee recommended the erection of a dis
infecting plant In this city.
The utter disregard which borough
councils show to their local boards of
health occupied the attention of the
body during the remainder of the
afternoon.
Continued Warfare at Jermyn.
Thomas Boundy, editor of the Jermyn
Press. wh- represented the Maylleld
board of health, stated that there Is a
ontinual warfare In his town between
t. board and the councils. Joseph J.
Dolphin; of Olyphant, reported that a
similar condition of affairs existed in
his borough. Sylvanus Smith, of the
Blakely board, In commenting on the
sanitary condition of Olyphant, said
that he had occasion to pass through
the place every morning on his way
to work and after inhaling the fresh
and wholesome ozone of Blakely, he
could scarcely bear the stench thnt ex
ists In the central part of Olyphant,
where the Huns anj others of careless
habits had formed a ettlement. All
this, It was claimed, resulted from
health authorities being handicapped
by indifferent councllmen.
Dr. 'Lee remarked' that, generally
speaking, borough councllmen are Ig
norant men who do not rise to the ne
cessity of proper sanitation and who
have no appreciation of the work that
a board of health can do far a town.
Being appealed to for a remedy to over
come the existing difficulty Dr. Lee ad
vised that the law be resorted to.
In answer to a question by iDr. Bent
ley as to the proper method of proceed
ure In the case of pollution of a water
supply, Dr. Lee advised that the water
company be reminded that It was Its
duty to furnish pure water and con
sequently to abate any contaminating
nuisances; if this warning was not
heeded court should be asked to revoke
the company's charter.
The Evening Session.
After a supper at the Westminster
the delegates reassembled and listened
to three excellent addresses. W. B. At
kinson, iM. D of 'Philadelphia, the
state secretary - of the associated
boards, read an interesting ami highly
heaping spoonfuls.
Instructive paper on "The Prevention
of Contagious Diseases." Dr. Van
Sickle gave a very practical talk on
"Sewerage In Boroughs and Small
Towns." J. M. dlarris, assistant dis
trict attorney of Lackawanna county,
at the request of Dr. Lee, gave a talk
on ''Nuisances," going over the ground
from a technical standpoint and then
explaining In a practical manner tho
remedies which the law provides for
abating nuisances, die also answered
questions propounded by the conven
tion and was tendered a vote of thanks
for his ad.lress nnd the Instruction
w"hloh It contained.
The convention adjourned to meet
again on the tirst Tuesday in April, 1896.
SANG IN FINE VOICE.
Koynl Welsh Ladies' Choir Pleased a
Large Audience at rrothtngliuin.
An appreciative audience which filled
the commodious Frothlngham theater
last evening greeted the Hoyul Welsh
Ladles' choir of Cardiff. Wules, in a
manner which re-emphasized American
discernment und hospitality. Nearly
every number on a programme of con
siderable length was encored to the
echo, and at times the audience's enthu
siasm was not satisfied with one recall.
There was unmistakable cordiality in
the welcome vouchsafed to the gifted
visitors when the rising of the curtain
first brought singers and auditors face
to face. This was Intensilled as the
latter recognized the popular conduct
ress. .Madame Clara Novello Davies,
who took the baton, while 'Miss Wini
fred Evans seated herself at the piano
as accompanist. The Initial number,
Fifoot's arrangement of the "March
of the "Men of Harlech," made a pleas
ant choral Introduction, but the two
choral numbers which took the audi
ence's favor by storm were Larsen's
"Spanish Olpsy," the prize piece at the
World's fair eisteddfod, and Gwllym
Qwent's Welsh chorus. "Yr Haf." The
masterly skill of Mrs. Davies" training
was exhibited by the choir In the Lar
sen chorus to an advantage which Is
seldom equalled In choral singing, and
which certainly has not been surpassed
on a Scranton stage. This number. It
may fairly be ald. registered the tri
umph of tho evening, and established a
record In vocal achievement not likely
to be soon eclipsed.
The solo numbers of the evening were
pleasantly received, especially In the
cases of ,Mlss Nellie Grllllths, who sang
a selection from Verdi's "Ernnnl" in
a soprano voice of uncommon flexibil
ity; of Miss Dot Prosser, whose rich
contrulto made superior music with
Adams' "The Valley by the Sea:" nnd
of Miss Bessie Evans, who sang Tostl's
"Good-Hive" with a contralto voice of
grace and finish. IMiss Nellie lAsher's
rendition of 'Masoheronl's "For All
Eternity" betokened careful training,
as did Miss Gertrude Drlnkwater's
cavatina by Rossini. "Bel Hagglo."
Miss Beatrice Edwards sang a bit of
sentiment by Tlervey In a mezzo voice
of large volume but of sweetness; and
Miss Annie Davies pleased her hearers
with a quaint contralto ballad, "My Old
Man John," which won an enthusiastic
recall. By no means least on the pro
gramme was a quartette number of un
common excellence.
Miss Winifred Evans proved an ac
companist of rare merit, and in a solo
number played Mendelssohn's "An
dante Caprlcioso" with brilliancy and
spirit.
ONE THRIVING BUSINESS.
Some Facts About the Progressive Scran
ton Ilcdding Company.
It has truthfully been said that the
Scranton of today possesses more than
the usual variety pf business enter
prises contained In other cities of the
same class. This comment might sug
gest Inquiry about Scranton's new and
thriving Industries, and in ithls connec
tion the Scranton Ilcdding company
and Its Increasing business cannot be
overlooked. The company began at the
earner of Lackawanna and Adams ave
nues, when Its tradw reached such pro
portions that It was found necessary
recently to make the building four
stories thigh Instead of three and to
build an addition from the ground to
the Toof along the western side of the
structure.
Today the four stories and basement
are teeming with activity necessary to
a trade, 'that has extended to nearly all
parts of eastern .Pennsylvania. The
mere phrase "Bed.llng company" docs
not convey the real meaning of the en
tire business of the company, which up
holsters furniture, cleans carpets, ren
ovates feathers, makes over old mat
tresses and sells now ones, makes and
repairs springs, nells 'Iron beds, and,
In fact, ideals In every possible way In
the articles 'mentioned.
The company Includes such well
known iSeranton men as Dr. N. Y. Leet,
Conrad Schroedcr, P. B. Flnley, H.
Kingsbury. S. O. err and L. J. Sle
becker. They are progressive men, and
have seen to It that the plant Is equip
ped with the best and most complete
appliances for performing the work pe
culiar to 'the business. The building,
which comtains factory, office and nil
working departments. Is a substantial
structure, and dues credit to busy
Lackawanna avenue, on which it is
situated.
THE OCTAVE REDAL.
Exhibition of Possibilities Given at
Gnernaev's Music Store.
W. L. flebhart and Professor Wlt
tlch entertained a targe number of vis
itors at J. W. Guernsey's music store
on 'Washington avenue yesterday In
giving exhibitions of the various effects
that can be produced on tho A. B. Chase
piano by means of a new attachment
known as the Octave pedal.
By this additional feature of useful
ness a variety of tone can be produced
that almost seems Incredible. The oc
tave pedal, which is the Invention of a
western musician. Is a fttep towards
perfection that may revolutionize the
piano-making business, opening as it
does the door to unlimited possibili
ties. St Is Impossible to give a comprehen
sive description of this device which
enables the performer to reproduce the
tone of the music box; the pipe organ
and other Instrument. It should be
seen and heard to be appreciated.
By special request the gentlemen who
are In charge of the exhibition have de

made by ex-Deputy Collector Burke
against Collector Herring. The govern

Hams.
A half-drunken man, name unknown,
was arrested' at 12.30 o'clock this morn

trolman 'Molr saw him selling a ham
for a quarter to a man on the avenue
and later on saw him coming back
with another on his choulder. As he
was about to make another sale the
patrolman put him under arrest. The
man to whom the ham dealer was about
to make tho second sule confided to the
officer that ha had been offered half a
dozen for $1.50.
The police suspected that some store
was burglui'lztd and set out to look
for the scene of the crime. Up to a late
hour nothing was learned of where the

Agrees to Hocognlio the Assessors'
Work for This Year as if
Directed by Them.
The board of revision and appeals
and the board of assessors got together
yesterday, and, with the assistance of
City Solicitor Torrey, In the role of
peacemaker, managed to amicably ad
just their illffertuces.
The lS'Jo assessment books, which the
assessors at first refused to give up,
were turned over to t'he new board, and
are now in the possession of City Clerk
iLavtilo, who Is the clerk of revision and
appeals board.
It was Mr. Lavelle who sought the
Intervention of the city solicitor, die
addressed a letter to 'Mr. Torrey ask
ing him to define the legal status of
the. case, which the solicitor answered
by an advisory lotter in which he point
ed out a method of procedure which
would not i ntail any great convulsion
of city affairs or K'tlgatlon between the
two boarda which seemed Inevitable in
case tho full Utter of the law was car
ried out.
What the Law Provides.
The now assessment act which creat
ed tho board of revision and appeals
provided that on or before Sept. 1
of each year the board of revision and
appeals shall furnish the city assessors
with the necessary books and direct
them to make an assessment. The
board In this city, through bickerings
and other causes, was not organized
until two weeks ago, and when the city
assessors saw the the first of September
pass without any provisions being made
for an assessment, they went ahead
with the assessment on their own ac
count. In order to have It completed by
Jan. 1, as required.
Upon the advice of City Solicitor Tor
rey the revision and appeals people'
agree to recognize the assessors' work
as If It had be-n directed by them.
Charles Yoos and IRudolph Buenzlt,
of tiio board of assessors, announced
the willingness of the assessors to ac
cede to the demand for the books, and
expressed their ability to proceed with
the lStiG assessment with the aid of the
data In the blotters, which will serve
the purpose Just as well as the assess
ment books when a comparison is
necessary In making an assessment.
Will Be Shorn of Prestige.
After this assessment Is completed
the assessors will be devoid of all their
original prestige and power, and must
needs sit Idly by awaiting upon the
pleasure of the board of revision and
appeals for a Job. H. D. Jones, one of
the membrra of 'the board of assessors,
has already announced that he will not
be a candidate for re-election.
