the Bicycle boys arecertalnly putttngup
gilt-edge foot ball, as is shown by their
recent victories over Buch strong teams
as iShamokln and their old-time rivals.
Wyoming seminary, whom they defeat
ed last Wednesday by the fine score of
12-0.
By their continual victories, which
have come only from hard practice
ur.dtT the careful coaching of Captain
Welsh, the team are confident of their
ability to defeat the. wearers of the
brown and white from South Bethle
hem in the games on Saturday.
For the first time In years either In
base ball or foot ball, Scranton has at
last a representative team which can
more than hold Its own on the field
with any team In this part of the state,
and this won hi Indicate that a large
crowd would be out to .greet the play
ers In the first game Scranton has
played on the home grounds for many
weeks.
A good game Is assured as the team
from the lower part of the state Is an
ticipating a victory, but it eeems cer
tain that they will be taken by sur
prise when they run up against our
strong eleven.
SHORE ACRES LAST NIGHT.
Has Lost None of Is Charm for Seranton
Theater-Goers.
Notwithstanding the disagreeable
weather and the large number of social
events In the city last night "Shore
Acres" demonstrated Its great popular
ity with the manses by attracting a
large audience to the Academy of
Music. The peculiar charm of the
drama lies In Its wonderful character
delineation. They are the people of
real life, absolutely true to nature and
tney spenk lines Huch as ordinary mor
tals might be expected to utter under
similar circumstances. Kaon charac
ter is a distinct type and fits exactly
Into the . story the ploywright tells.
There are no stilted speeches or appeals
to the gallery, but the dialogue Is per
fect in Its way and Its humor Is spon
taneous and native to the groups from
which It proceeds.
Archie lioyd, who achieved a great
success here In "The Old Homestead,"
was seen with the company last night
as Uncle Nat and did nn excellent bit of
natural acting. Kd J. Connolly was a
most amusing Joel Gates and the other
members of the company were almost
up to the standard of these clever aeo
tors. "Shore Acres" will be seen at the
Academy again tomorrow night
FRANCHISE SALE TODAY.
Highest Bidder Will Oct Scranton Base
Ball Association Property.
The Eastern league franchise and
other possessions of the Scranton Base
Ball association will be sold to the
hlfhect bidder at sheriff's sale at 2
o'clock this afternoon at the Base Ball
park to satisfy judgment amounting to
ner.rly $3,000 and held by seven direc
tors. It is probable that the property
will 'be bid In by the association, as no
other local people have showed a dis
position to buy at the price asked.
If bid In toy the association it Is a
question whether an effort will be made
to resell to parties out of town or
Whether the present owners will begin
anew In the Eastern league. In the
former event a Staite league club would
be located In Scranton. but public senti
ment is eo against such a course that
the franchise will be held or sold to lo
cal men. In either event Scranton
would remain In the Eastern league.

MAYOR C0NSELI SENDS A VETO
Says Tat the Board of Appeals Cannot
lake the Assessors' Fnrnltnre-The
Bellevue Transfers-Turnpike Peo
ple -Aa Important Meeting
Ait the special meeting of select coun
cil last might Mayor Connell sent in a
ve.o of the resolution permitting the
board of appeals to take possession of
the city assessors' furniture nnd re
move It to their own headquarters in
the city clerk's office. The resolution
has 'been In the mayor's hands for
eleven days, and if not acted upon be
fore next Tuesday would become law
by limitation even without his signa
ture. It was Introduced In common
council, end according ito the act of
1889 the veto should be sent to the feody
from which it originated, but as the
lower branch docs not meet until next
Thursday the mayor, with an explana
tory letter accompanying, sent it In last
night.
Mr. Manley, one of. the board of ap
peals, ra'i.sed the point of order that the
veto could not be legally acte'i upon by
the upper branch until after the com
moners had considered It and Mr. Lauer
who filled the chair In the absence of
President Westpfahl, deciding that the
point of order was well taken, the veto
was not rerelved, and the clerk was In
teracted to transmit it to the clerk of
the common council.
After explaining the circumstances
which forot'J him to ask a suspension of
the rules for the reception of the veto,
the mayor. In his communication, went
on to say that his reason for vetoing
ithe resolution was that It was Illegal.
The buikl'ng committee of councils pur
chased the furniture In question on ti'ne
:rength of a resolution Intro
duced In 1890 and that reso
lution has never' been repealed. In
conclusion the mayor said that he had
been Informed thait the city assessor
were willing to give up the cases which
contained the assessment books, but
they need not give up the remainder
of their furniture. He also stated that
the act creating the board of appeals
Is rot to be construed as carrying with
It the abolition of the board of as
sessors. The Street Cor Transfers.
CJty Solicitor James H. Torrey sen
a lengthy communication regarding the
refusal of the Traction company to is
sue transfers to and from the Bellevue
line and the lines to 'the South Side and
lEast iSKJe. which matter was referred to
him for an opinion as to whether or not
this refusal on the part of the company
is a violation of their franchise. Mr.
Toirey stated that he had a conference
with the railway people and learned
that they are preparing to issue trans
fers from Bellevue to Washburn street
and North Main avenue. They do not
Issue transfers ito the South Side or
Taylor line, because parties can impose
upon them by making a round trip for
one fare. Mr. Torrey gave it as his
opinion that the company should not foe
expected to submit to such an imposi
tion. Council took no action In the
matiter, but merely received and filed
the communication.
In regard to the resolution requiring
the Delaware and Hudson company to
remove the depot platform which pro
jects out on Cnerry street In the Twen
tieth ward, aiayor Connell submitted
a letter received from Superintendent
Manvllle, In w'hlch he suggests that
when Cherry street Is opened by the
removal or the platform that the neigh
boring road now used be closed up eo
as to do away In a measure with a mul
tiplicity of grade crossings In that
neighboring. (At the accompanying
suggestion of the mayor the matter was
referred to the streets and bridges com
mlttee.
In another communication tihe mayor
reminded councils that no provision hail
been made lor inspectors of the bridge
approaches which are now under way.
By a resolution Introduced by Mr.
Roche the mayor was instructed to
make provisions for engaging compe
tent inzpeotors;
To Number City Lots.
Mr. 'Lauer introduced an ordinance
directing the city engineer to renumber
all the lots In the city in order that
houses can be numbered properly and
with a tihorough system, which Is now
wanting. There was some discussion
an to the practicability of the project,
but It was finally approved.
Other new measures Introduced were:
A resolution striking off the assessment
of the Providence armory; an ordi
nance providing for gates and watch
men at the Broadway crossing on the
Jersey Central and at the Dodgetown
bridge crossing of the Delaware and
Hudson; an ordinance providing for the
opening of Wyoming avenue to Phelps
street; a resolution directing the chief
engineer to secure other quartern for
the Century company If the present
house Is not repaired by Its owner with
in sixty days.
The resolution awarding to Howley
Bros, the contract for the lateral sewer
on North Washington avenue, be
tween New Tork and Larch streets, was
concurred in. It was In order to hurry
through the passage of this measure
that the special meeting wan called.
Ordinances for electric lights at Ed
wards court an Scranton street, Wyo
ming avenue and Green Ridge street
and Irving avenue and Hickory street,
passed third rending, as did also an or
dinance providing for a permanent
man for the General Phinneys, and ad
ditional one for the Nay Augs.
MORE TURNPIKE TROUBLE.
Company Serves Notice on the City to Put
It in Kepalr.
Another law suit between the city
and the Providence and Ablngton Turn
pjke company sems inevitable. West
Market street, which la the stretoh of
turnpike in question, is at present in a
very bad condition and will require the
expenditure of several thousands of
dollars to put it In proper repair. The
city not being In shape to make such an
outlay, Chairman Urler, of common
council and member from the Third
ward, introduced an ordinance at the
last meeting providing for the repeal
of the contract by which the city agreed
to keep the Street In repair. In consid
eration of tha company moving its toll
gate outside the city limits.
It was hoped to get this ordinance
through before a demand could be made
by the company for the repairing of the
road, but the company was not to be
caught napping as Is evidenced by the
following letter addressed by them to
the city yesterday: .
A Five-Day Notice.
. Scranton, pa., Oct. 2, 1896.
Hon. W. L. Connell, mayor; Charles R.
Kinsley, esq., street commissioner, and
the Select ana Common Council of the
City of Scranton.
Gentlemen: I am directed by the board
of managers of the Providence and Ablng
ton Turnpike and Plank Road company to
give each of you notice again that that
part of the turnpike within the city limits,
that Is, from the bridge crossing Leg
gett's Creek to the terminus of the road
In the city, being that part of the turnpike
which the city of Scranton by Its agree
ment Is to keep In repair, Is out of repair
and In a bad and dangerous condition, and
It Is Imperative that the same be re
paired Immediately for the protection of
all persons traveling the same.
The board of managers Is Informed that
the city of Scranton has no funds at Its
command at this time that can be used
In repairing the road. I am, therefore, di
rected to give further noUce that unless
the city of Scranton, through Its proper
officers, puts said portion of the turnpike
road in proper condition and commence
the work thereon within five (5) days after
the receipt of this notice, the Turnpike
company will repair the saint and charge
the expense of so doing to tin city.
I un directed further te state that If tt
becomes necessary for the Turnpike eom-i
pany to put on the repairs, the officers of
the company are desirous that the street
commissioner of the city be present-and
see that the repairing and money laid out
and expended therefor la properly done
and expended. Tours truly,
W. W. Watson,
Secretary of the Providence and Ablngton
Turnpike and Plank Road company.
The communication was transmitted
to the select council last night, by
Mayor Connell, and waa referred tt the
streets and bridges committee. As this
committee cannot possibly do anything
in the matter before the next meeting,
whtch Is one week hence. It la likely
that the turnpike company will pro
ceed with Its threat to repair the road,
and charge the amount to the city. A
suit like the last one. In which the
city came out second best, will doubt
lessly ensue unlesB (he city will give
in, and It Is not likely that the city
will do that, as Mr. Grler's ordinance
betokens. :
BROKE ALL RECORDS.
Tremendous Amount of Coal Taken from
the D.. L. and W. Collieries.
Yesterday. witnessed the breaking of
three records in coal mining ;by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company. In all the years that tHie
company haa been operating In this re
gion there never has been such an out
put as during the month of October; on
no single day has there been as much
coal mined as there was yesterday, and
none of the twenty Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western collieries has ever
hoUCed In a elngle shift the number
of cars that came to the mouth of the
Storrs shaft during the eleven hours
folio wing J! o'clock yesterday morning.
The only figures that could be given
were the number of cars hoisted yes
terday at the Stori-8, which was 1,618.
This Is also supposed to be fhe record
for the anthracite region and Is au
thorltively stated to be the record for
the Lackawanna, and Luzerne region.
J. C. Baumar.n is the superintendent of
this mine, and to him much of the dis
tinction which goes with this record toe
longs. Wliille no one Is yet able to give (the
exact figures or a fa'ir estimate of the
amount of coal mined during the ottur
two record-breaking periods above
mentioned assurance was given from an
authoratlve source Uhat there was not
the slightest dou'ot of their accuracy.
In audition to all this the month of
October beat all others In the history
of the company in coal shipments, and
yesterday was one of the heaviest days.
If not the very heaviest, In this same
regard, fifty rolld trains of coal hav
ing left the Scranton yard, between 8
o'clock Wednesday night and 8 o'clock
last night. Miners have made twenty
eight and twenty-nine days and train
hands from thirty to thirty-eight dur
ing the month. .
The falling market during the sum
mer and the consequent delayed pur
chases are responsible for this great
rush of 'business. The drought In the
Schuylkill region and the disturbances
in the western part of the Btate have. In
the opinion of a prominent coal man,
contributed but little toward the
heavy output In this region. How lone
this season of prosperity will continue
cannot be stated, but It will undoubt
edly last throughout the winter, al
though not with the same vigor that
characterised the record-br 'king
montn or October.
CURE FOR A COLD.N
The Turkish Bath Is Sold to Be One o
Best Remedies.
With the arrival of the season ol
coughs and colds the Turkish bath be
comes more popular with the masses
who avail themselves of the curative
properties of the steam and hot air
treatment It is well known to many
that there is scarcely an ordinary cold
that cannot be cured In an hour or two
In the Turkish bath. Mr. Purcell's es
tablishment on Linden street. Is there
fore, one of the roundlng-up places for
those afflicted with the colds that are
so common at this season.
The baths are open day and evening.
Tuesdays are reserved for the lady pa
trons, when no gentlemen are admitted.
If you are troubled with a severe cold
try a Turkish bath. You will be sur

FIENDISH PLOT.
An Attempt Is Made to Blow Up a Cbnrch
at Tunkhannock.
Tunkhannoek, Pa., Oct. SI. During
gospel services at the Bardwell Evan
gelical church Wednesday night, an at
tempt was made to blow up the church
and congregation with dynamite. There
was a crash, the lights went out, the
windows shook, the plaster came down
on the preacher, pulpit and congrega
tion, the women screamed and fainted.
When order was restored it was found
that an attempt had been made to
wreck the church by the use of dyna
mite placed under one corner of the edi
fice. The motive Is ascribed to the bitter
warfare growing out of the transfer of
the church property from the Dubslte to
the Bowman-Esher people,

THIS IS THE LAST DAY
Teachers' Institute Will Close with
This Morning's Scssiaj.
MEETING OP THE DIRECTORS
It Was Presided Over by County Superin
tendent Taylor-Instructors Who Ap
pear Before the Teaehers-Mer
In Sections la the Morning.
At noon today the county teachers'
Institute will come to a close, and the
teachers will return to their homes, re
newed with enthusiasm for education
al Work. County Superintendent Tay
lor gave his attention to the convention
of the County Directors' association In
the arbitration room, and the institute
was presided over by Superintendent
John J. Forbes, of Carbondale.
The morning session was in two lec
tions, the principals In No. 1 court room,
and the primary and Intermediate
teachers being addressed in the main
room. The principals listened to talks
on the new high school law by M. W.
Cummlngs, of Olyphant, and R. N.
Davis, of Archbald. Dr. Phillips spoke
on stocks and bonds.
Professor Twltmeyer .In the other
section was the first speaker Intro
duced, and his topic was materials for
language lessons. Teaching language
lessons, he said, must 'be done by direct
ing attention to the mechanical side,
which Includes punctuation, capitalisa
tion and grammatical arrangement,
and the expresslonal side, which should
deal with the culture of thought. He
spoke altogether on the expresslonal
side, and recommended the preparation
of lessons in written language. Ele
mentary geography, he thought, fur
nishes a vast store of data for useful
and Instructive language lessons. He
took the subject of minerals, coal, for
Instance, and showed how easy it Is for
the teacher to Interest the pupils oy
means of 'bringing out their knowledge
of coal, as it Is a very familiar sub
st&nct? He has maintained 'In all his lectures
that things right under the eyes of the
pupils should be 'brought prominently
before them, that many lessons can be
learned fey culturlng the habit of ob
servation. Miss MeCloskey's Interesting Talk.
The theme that Miss McCloskey lec
tured on was "Valuable Silent Work,"
and dtalt with telling the teachers how
to keeD the children busy. To find work
for the pupils to do without overcrowd
ing their mln'Js, Is a task that requires
much ingenuity. Where there are
classes of children 6 years of age, only
one-third of their time Is taken up with
recitations. One thing that the teacher
should do with small children Is exam
ine their work carefully and never fall
to commend tt when deserving. Such
busy work should be given which has a
tendency to make them observing, to
set them at drawing Is perhaps the most
useful work that could be selected for
them; it increases their power to think,
invent and Observe, and keeps them
busy. This was Miss MeCloskey's last
lecture, and she 'bade her auditors
god J-bye. She has endeared herself to
the teachers by her ability to present
er Ideas In attractive and easy lan
ge, yet withal containing a fund of
matlon. They were sorry to see
and hope to hear her at the next
te. She Is an untiring young
d her. work has 'been a strain

V Twltmyer delivered his
farex VIdress also, and spoke on
The School." It contained many
suggestion drawn from his long ex
perience as a teacher. He, also, has
been a favorite with the teachers. In
variably, he began his lectures by tell
Ing some story or anecdote, or Introduc
ing some feature that put his audience
In good humor. 'His lectures were
strong advocates of (bringing the chil
dren into communication with the ob
Jects in the natural world round about.
instead of Illustrating things In the
abtsract.
Lecture on Habit.
Dr. Gordy's topic waa on habit. There
are two kinds of habit, physical ana
mental. It should be the aim of every
person, he aald, to acquire good habits,
for they are one's second nature. The
mind has very often nothing to do with
the thing done by the hands, for the
acts are done from force of habit Thus
It Is very essential to shape habits of
life and hattts of industry to conform
with a correct 'basis of deportment.
The afternoon cession was enlivened
by the presence of Deputy State Su
perintendent of Public Instruction
Henry Houck. He talked over an hour
from the standpoint of an old teacher,
one who - has 'been through the mill.
and who has also observed much in his
experience with teachers and Institutes.
Order Is the first and highest achieve
ment obtainable In the school room.
When a pupil Is told to do something
the command must be obeyed unhesi
tatlngly. He is a Arm believer in the
principle that to spare the rod is to
spoil the child.
Notwithstanding that Institute lec
turers will appear before teachers and
will decry against corporal punishment
as a means of enforcing obedience, ad
vocatlng that the child's moral sense
should be appealed to, yet superintend
ent Houck maintains that the surest
way to bring children to proper disci
pline Is to make them understand that
if they disobey there is punishment In
store for them. But a teacher who has
the proper conception of what to do in
torHllrig chllden will manage Instead
of discipline them.
When Ha Was Boy.
He Is shaping his view on this ques
tion by recounting his own school days
and his home life. In the first place, he
had a stern parent who was none the
less indulgent for all that, tout when
Henry was told that something must be
done, Henry knew enough to do what
he was told. (He had a teacher who was
built on the tame principle. This never
did young Henry any harm, viewed as
the matter is now from the mind of the
older Henry.
Miss Jay, of Jermyn, sang a solo
pleasantly and was followed by Harry
Johnson, of Waverly, with the song,
"The Mellcan 'Man." Dr. Philip took
the platform and spoke on astronomi
cal geography. He answered several
queries propounded to him by the
teachers.

Dr. Qordy waa the last speaker of the
af teraooo, and his subject waa the life
ot nsary inacj
TkcFallorRrchntoad.
At Young Men's Christian associa
tion hall Rev. John H. Harris, Ph. D.,
preeident or Bucknell -university, de
livered the laat ot the evening lec
ture. He gave his famous lecture,
"The Fall of Richmond." By invita
tion the members of Ksra 8. Griffin
Psot, No. 1st, Grand Army of the Re
public, were In - the audience and oc
cupied seats in front. The stage set
tings were decorated in patriotic colors.
Superintendent Taylor announced that
as a prelude to the lecture there would
be some music. A. C. Slseon, of La
Plume, sang the "Sword of Bunker
Hill," and responded to an encore with
"The Bridge."
Dr. Harris said he was always
pleated to lecture on the topic he was
to speak on whenever the old boys In
blue are present. The Civil war, he
declared, was the greatest uprising
of history; beside It the French revolu
tion and the German wars were Insig
nificant 'Dr. 'Harris patted from the
consideration of the causes that led to
the war to the latter period of It. Gen
eral Grant was the man to whom the
union Is Indebted, for the termination
of the struggle aa early as 1865. Grant
saw what was to be done and had the
power of accomplishing It. Grant en
tered upon his career as a great com
mander at the capture of Fort Donat
ion. iFrom that trnia hit objective
point was the capture of Lee's army.
Dr. Harris then.. In eloquent style, un
folded the history of the great general's
movements until the fall of Richmond.
Convention of Directors.
The convention of the director1! as
sociation was called tr order at 10 a.
m. In the arbitration room by the pres
ident, Thomas Hunter, of Jermyn. He
addressed his fellow-laborers briefly.
The question "Should vocal music be
added to the common school curricu
lum?" was opened for discussion. All
who discussed the subject agreed that
miulc is one of the best mediums for
the elevation of the moral nature.
The mornlnj session ended with si
talk by Dr. Philips, who advised the di
rectors not to change a primary teacher
deserving of promotion to Some higher
position, where more salary Is attached,
but to raise the salary and retain the
teacher In the same grade. The new
officers chosen at the afternoon ses
sion will go as delegates to a State
Directors' convention, at Harrlsburg
In January next. They are as follows:
George W. Cure, president; Thomas
Nealon, first vice president; John F.
Donnelly, second vice president; John
