LADIES' NIGHT AT ELK DOM.
toeir Elegant Franklin Avenoe Quarters
Thrown Open to ths Fair Sea.
For the third time In Its history the
flcranton Lodge of Elks, last wight
threw open Its elegant Franklin avenue
quarters to the ladles. That their chlv
aJry waa appreciated waa evident from
tne generous response to their Invlta
tJon. Over one hundred ladles, the
wives, sisters, etc., of the "best people
on earth" were there, and It la not
rieklnfr anything to say that they were
glad tney came, tor tney were royally
entertained after the exceedingly
pleasant ana novel manner of enter
tlnment observed by the Elks. -
At t o'clock the parlors, resplendent
in illumination -and floral decorations,
were filled to overflowing and while
Voiomon Goldsmith and Del fllmrell. of
the reception committee, were making
the visitors realise that they must
iej themselves "right at home," the
J.;k orchestra of twenty-seven pieces,
led by Bauer, discoursed delightful and
enlivening promenade music from the
r.r parlor. When an hour or so had
b-n spent In Introduction and social
e t the orchestra struck up a march,

about an hour at the end of which time
the Elks' own distinguished kind of
frolic was Inaugurated.
Alderman Millar was made chairman
and most happily did he fill the office.
Homo of his Judicial acts or. last nigm
will, no doubt, make It difficult for him
to assume his usual courtly dignity
this morning. For instance: Hon. Alex.
T. Conncll was lined 25 cents for com
ing to the session In a full dress suit,
and straw hat; Judge P. P. Smith got
60 cents fine for being the most pP
ular Democrat In Pennsylvania; Hon.
Charles P. O'Malley had to pay 25 cents
because he allowed Judge Klce to come
near to beating Judge Wlllard; Peter
Zlegler was fined 25 cents ror getting
the ice-cooler full; J. K. Cohen paid a
like sum for wearing Joseph Levy's
neck-tie to the session; Charles H.
Schadt was let off with a quarter fine
for monopolizing the Ice business; ev
ery Elk in the house who brought a
ludy was fined 25 cents, and every one
who didn't bring a lady was fined 0
cents, and on motion of Alex. Conner!,
the alderman himself was fined 11 for
being the bi'st chairman that had ever
graced an Elk's social session.
Some of the F.mcrtsiners.
These' Jovialities were merely Inter
spersed between the literary and mu
sical programme by way of variety, and
while thpy were hugely enjoyed they
were only side issues. Among those who
entertained were the Elks' quartette,
composed of John T. Watklns. Thomas
Nynon, George Dewltt and C. P. Col-
vln;Mlss Adela breakstone, Mrs. Frank

Editor E. J. Lynett and Attorney J. M.

END OF THE FLOWER SHOW.
The Attractions That Were Fcatnros of
tlio Cloning Night.
The chrysanthemum show of 189S Is
now a thing of the past, as at 11 o'clock
Inst evening the doors were closed to
the nubile. This show has been In al
most cverv resuect a most magnlficant
spectacle and many of the visitors who
attended, some of them every oay ana
evening, felt aulte a pang of regret aa
they looked for the last time on the
beautiful sight. All any yesterday ana
far into the evening, the spacious the
ater was thronged with Seranton's best
Deorile. and the ever-moving concourse
of visitors presented a pamorama of
changing colors, beautiful costumes and
bright ana Interested races. Tncre waa
a very general request for the con
tinuance of the show for one or two
davH more, but the, theater could not
be engaged, as other attractions are
booked.
There Is hardly a city In this country
that could duplicate this exhibition, or
approach It, either In artistic effect or
In variety or profusion. George Fan
court, who Is an expert florist and of
national reputation aa a grower, speak
ing to a Tribune reporter yesterday.
Etated that he had never attended an
exhibition that compared with It, ex
cept In extent, and as for general effect
and artistic arrangement, this show
was par excellence.
Mr. Clark Returns Tbanka.
Mr. Clark said last evening: "I wish
to thank The Tribune and the other
local papers. They have taken a very
kind interest in the welfare or this
year's show, and much of the success
of the enterprise Is due to their work
I also desire to thank the general nub
ile, whose Interest and patronage has
been above expectation. The generous
donors of the prizes I have already
thanked In person, but I will take this
means of thanking them publicly
through the columns of The Tribune.
The Interest taken has been far above
my expectations, and I am more than
satisfied."
Last evening the theater was thronged
and many paused to view the beautiful
display of cut flowers on the stage and
also the display of fruit, preserved In
glass Jars, from the stock of E, G. Cour
sen.
The special feature of the evening waa
the appearance of Miss Breakstone.who
has established herself as a genuine
favorite. Miss breakstone's first se
lection was the "Low Backed Car." in
which she sang some of the lines, being
accompanies an during the reading by
Mr. Lindsay on the piano. Never did
she nppear to better advantage. She
possesses a ucautirm voice, and read
the lines with exquisite grace and fin
Inh. In response to an encore, she gave
Kiioy-B "Elf Child." Her next selection
was, by special request, "Mammy's
Lll" Baby Boy," and in thla she showed
her most pleaslnu work, being twice
recalled.
Ths Other Entertainers.
Miss Breakstone was assisted by the
itreen mage wneeimen's quartette,
who sang "Juanlta" and "Marchner's
serenade" in line voice and good articU'
latlon, and by Hector H. James, bari
tone, who sang the "Turnkey's Song'
from tho opera of "Rob Roy," in splen.

CftKDIDATES MM DP
Want the Offices to Be Distributed at
the February Clectloa.
SOME OP THE AMBITIOUS ONES
List la Already Qalt Largs, although All
of Talsat las Wat Yet Besa Heard
From-Maay Lively Coa
testa Promised.
No little Interest Is already shown
In the municipal election to take place
In February, at which a mayor, city
treasurer, city controller and three city
assessors will be elected for terms of
three years. Select councllmen will ho
elected In the odd numbered wards, and
common councllmen and school con
trollers In the even numbered wards.
The contests for these offices will be
waged with vigor In every ward In the
city, and will result in a very large
vote being polled.
Only four candidatea have aa yet
publicly announced themselves as can
didates for city offices, and It Is a sig
nificant fact that all of them are Repub
licans. There Is every prospect of a de
cisive victory by the Republicans at the
spring election In this city, and conse
quently the Democratic brethren are
not tumbling over one another In a
wild desire to put In applications for
nominations. In fact not a single
Democrat has as yet come forward and
declared himself. James G. Bailey, C.
G. Boland, M. J. Kelly and John E.
Roche have for months been spoken
of by Democrats In connection with
the mayoralty, and the names of Mr.
Boland. Stephen Spruks, 11. T. Koen
ler and Mr. Kelly have also been
linked with tho office of city treasurer.
John J. Gaffney and the city controller
ship have been mentioned together but
none of these gentlemen have up to
this time announced themselves as can
didates. On the Other Side of the Fence.
The status of affairs In tho Republi
can camp with regard to the office of
mayor Is known by the general public.
Daniel Williams and Thomas D. Davlos,
both residents of the West Side, have
formally announced that they are can
didates for the Republican nomina
tion for city treasurer, and Wade Finn,
of the Second ward, has repeatedly,
during the last year, stated that he is
a candidate for the nomination al
though he has as yet refrained from
making any announcement of the fact
through the public prints. Fred J. Wld
mayer will be opposed for the nomina
tion for city controller by C. W. West-
pfahl, chairman of the select council.
Candidates for the city assessorshlps
are shy about coming forward. Since
their powers were greatly reduced by
the creation of the board of revslon
and appeals the office of city assessor
Is not near so desirable as It was and
the temptation to seek It has been
greatly lessened In consequence.
Charles Fowler, of the Thirteenth, is
one of those mentioned as a possble Re
publican candidate.
There are no lack of candidates for
the ward offices. In the First, Finlvy
Ross will try to succeed himself as
select councilman and will probably lie
successful, although ex-Select Council
man George Archbald threatens to en
compass Mr. Ross' defeat by becoming
a candidate himself. Th's news has not
greatly disturbed Mr. Ross.
In ths Second Ward.
Peter Kelly, the selectman from the
Third ward, will also ask for another
term, but his right to It will be con
tested by ex-Select Councilman James
Kearney, Prof. J. J. Costello and
Michael Fog. All are Democrats. R.
H. Williams, who now represents the
Fifth ward In the upper branch, would
not object to another term. He will
be opposed for the Republican nomi
nation by E. E. Kobathan and Con
tractor E. E. Hughes. P. F. Cannon,
Democrat, Is also mentioned as a can
didate for the office.
In the Seventh ward John E. Roche
will seek a re-election to the select. It
Is a strongly Democratic ward and as
yet no one has been announced as an
opposition candidate to Mr. Roche. In
the Ninth, Eleventh and Thirteenth
wards the lines of battle have not yet
been drawn. Charles Stone. Remib I-
can, and Fred Phillips, Democrats, are
mentioned for select council In the
Eleventh.
Horatio T. Fellows will ask tho voters
of the Fifteenth ward to send him back
to the select for four years more, but
he will be opposed for the Republican
nomination by Thomas D. Thomas and
posHltly one or two others. J. A. Lans
Ing la not likely to nave opposlton in
the Seventeenth ward. He was elected
a year ago to fill the unexpired term
or Sheriff Clemona. Charles W. West
pfahl. It Is said, will not be a can
didate ror re-election from the Nine-
teenth nor has any other Republican
been advanced ror the office. D. W.
Vaughan and Edward Frable will con
test for the Democratic nomination in
that ward. In the Twenty-first ward
Thomas MCHale and John McAndrew
Democrats, are candidates for tho offi;e
of aelect council.
The Other Ward Offices.
Morris V. Morris, common council'
man, and C. H. von Storch, school con
troller, will be candidates for re-elec
tlon In the Second ward, and Simon
Thomas will ask the voters of the
Fourth ward to give him another term
In the lower branch. He will be oo
posed by John Fern. Richard Nichols
and A. B. Eynon, Republicans, and
Benson Daves, Democrat, are candi
datea for school controller in the ward.
- In the Sixth ward there promises to
be a lively battle ror school controller.
John P. Mahon, the present Incumbent,
John Casey and M. J. O'Toole, Demo
crats, and John Hale, Republican, are
spoken of as candidates. John Regan
wants to succeed himself as common
counollman of the ward. Dr. John
O Malley and F. L. Wormaer. Demo
crat and Republican respectively, are
named as candidates ror school con
troller in the Eighth, and Fred S. God
frey and Wlllam J. Schiffer are spoken
or in connection witn the office of com
mon council. Mr. Godfrey Is the pres
ent counollman from the ward, and al
though he Is spoken of for another term
has not announced himself as a candi
date.
Edward Wensel will make an effort
to have himself returned to the com
mon council from the Tenth ward, n' 1
William A. Hoffman Is a candidate for
the seat of W. S. Watrous on the board
of school control. Both are Republl
cans.
Over la the Twelfth Wsrd.
Morgan Sweeney, who now repre
sents the Twelfth ward In the common
council, baa announced that he will
seek a re-election, and P. J. Messltt and
Patrick Mawn have likewise announced
that they will be candidates for the
office. Jamea O'Boyle, of the same
ward, wants another term on the
school board, and ex-controller Joseph
McNalley will be hla opponent. P. 0.
Nealla. common councilman, and T. J.
Jennings, school controller of the Four
teenth ward, will try to aucceed them
selves, and the same la true of Loreni
Zeldler and O. B. Bchrlefer, who hold
similar offices in the sixteenth ward.
. P. J. Noone will be a candidate to sue
reed himself In tho common council
from the Eighteenth ward and In the
same ward P. F. Langan will oppose
Thomas coar, wno la amomoua for an
other term on the school board. '
D. P. Battle la likely to have a hard
time to aucceed himself aa the common
counollman of the Twentieth ward.
Among those who are mentioned aa can
didates are Peter Haggerty, Michael
McGrall, Edward Jordan and Michael
McOarry. W. O. O'Malley will not aeek
another term on the school board from
that ward, but there la no lack of can
didates for that office. Those already
mentioned are Joseph Hannlck, Joha
Gibbons and M. J. Donahoe.
The Twentieth ward has been the
, Kane of some fierce ward contests la
the paat and if the gentlemen named
lock horns at the approaching election
there will be a fight such aa ha not
been suroaaaed In Interest by any of
recent years. They are alt well known
men. have many friends and once en
tered In the contest will battle furiously
for victory.
THEY MET IN MOIR'S SHOP.
And Coagreasssan J. A. Seraatoa Waa
Told Home Plain Blent Troths.
There was a little gathering In the
tailor shop of Captain James Molr,
on Lackawanna avenue, Monday night
Captain Molr Is a candidate for the
Republican nomination for mayor, and
the gathering contained many of his
friends. About fifty persons were pres
ent and the king pin or the gathering
was Congressman Joseph A. Scranton;
that Is, Mr. Scranton was the king pin
until just fore the meeting dispersed
wnen someone iook excepuun to nis
harrangue about the "Connell ring,"
and told the congressman what a little
man he really was.
The scranton episode occurred after
adjournment, and while the men pres
ent were standing In groups Vbout the
room. Mr. Scranton exploded the same
old something about the "Connell ring,"
but was brought to a rignt-aoout Dy
Max Zlzelman, of the Seventeenth
ward, who said:
"Mr. Scranton, you are the most un
grateful man in Lackawanna county,
and you have proper cause to be
ashamed of yourself. Vou can thank
only William Connell for the position
you noia today, ana you wouidn t dare
use the expressions you have here to
night only for the fact that you have a
secure berth for two years more." Tho
congressman Btood abashed while Ziz
elman waa talking, and before he could
resume hla equipoise Zlzelman con
tinued: What Mr. Zlzelman Said.
'You have no right nor grounds for
slandering Mr. Connell, and his friends.
J, however, have a rlcht to criticize
them, but I wouldn't do It In your poor
style. They kept me from getting the
nomination for select council in the
Seventeenth ward, but you "
How dare you! How dare you
speak so to me young man!" exclaimed
Mr. Scranton, now thoroughly aroused.
"Because I dare; that's why. And
yoo arc not In a position to resent it,"
was the reply.
'Here s a cigar." said Mr. Scranton.
handing a nerfecto to the young man,
and that's how the meeting ended.
During the evening Captain Molr was
endorsed for the mayoralty, Thomas I),
Davles for treasurer and Charles W,
Westpfahl for city controller. Mr.
Wcstpfahl, however, would not become
a candidate until after "powerful In
fluence" had been brought to bear on
nun.
Some of ThokO Who Attended.
In addition to those already men
tioned there were present City Trens
urer Reese O. Brooks, Select Council-
men Wade M. Finn and Flnlay Ross,
ex-City Controller George Elsele, Max
Klzleman. Rowland Thomas. John H
Fellows, George Okell. Charles Schank.
George B. Thompson and a score of
others.
There was little of formality In the
meeting and what was said and done
happened in an unconventional con
versational way. From the beginning.
tne idoa or advancing the Interests of
the candidates chosen seemed to give
away to the more Important purpose of
downing what was referred to as the
"Connell ring."
Such, at least, was the trend of Mr.
Scranton's language before the meet
ing had fairly settled Itself. Ho want
ed, he said, to Impress everybody pres
ont with the purpose and necessity of
"downing the Connell ring at all costs.
And Mr. Davles followed a moment
later by exclaiming that the cause of
his defeat for county treasurer In last
year's campaign hud been traced di
rectly to the Yankee wards and the
central city and South Shlu wards.
where Connell's Inlluence was most
felt" When this assertion was made
there was a dead silence until some
one In a low voice Queried:
"How about the cutting given Davles
on tno west side?" There was, how
ever, no reply to the question.
Mr. Davles was forthwith advanced
as the choice of the gathering for the
treasurer nomination.
Mr. Westpfshl Appeared.
By this time it waa 9 o'clock and Mr.
Westpfahl, who had been mentioned
for city controller.appearcd In the door
way. His name was Immediately put
In nomination, but one of his friends
arose and said:
"Mr. Westpfahl does not want this
office nor the candidacy; he believes, as
i ao, mat a candidate should be chosen
rrom tne central city."
This sentiment was voiced in terse
ana emphatic language bv Mr. Wt
pfahl himself, and Max Zlzelman was
mentioned as a suitable sublcct. Mr.
Zlzelman nosltvely declined to nrc.nt
Mr. Westpfahl was then assured that If
ne pusneu the right Fred. J. wldmayer
wouid be disgusted and frightened and
would leave Mr. Westpfahl a clear field
Still the popular choice of tho meeting
reiuaea nis assent.
Things had thus become mixed nnrf

Christian association waa glvea last
evening by Edouara Remtuyl. violin
virtuoso, assisted by Miss Pauline
Stela, soprano, and Jiflle. Louise Ro
man, pianist ana sagene Js. Dana,
baritone. The concirt waa wall pat
ronized and society waa largely repre
sented In the audience. '
The osenlna number or the pro-
f -amine waa a piano aolo, "Valse from
aust," a Gounod-Liszt composition,
by M'lle. Louise Roman. Miss Ro
man's playing Immediately found fav
or with the audience, ao much so that
when -she next appeared and played a
Nocturne" rrom cnopin ana "Trot oe
Cavalerle" from Rubinstein, an encore
amounting almoat to an ovation was
given her. There is a solidity In her
manner of execution that Is rare with
female performers, and an entire ab
sence of gymnastic display In her
touoh.
A "concerto Romantlque" In five
parts waa the first violin solo given by
Kemenyl last night It showed the
versatility and genius of the performer,
ror wnetner in the light ana rancirui
music of the allegro movement or the
sad and low and soulful music of the
andante movement the master hand of
the violin virtuoso was ever present.
That "there Is a chord in muslo that
touches the heart of the most unmusi
cal" found an exemplification In Re
menyl's playing of this aame number
which contained bealdea the parts men
tioned a recitative and cansonetta of
varied character. The "Choral Noc
turne," a Chopln-Remenyl composition,
and "Malaquena." a Spanish dance,
were his next numbers and were well re
ceived. His final selection, one of his
own composition, called forth raptur
ous applause from the audience, to
whom Rcmenyl bowed his acknowledge
ments. They were not satisfied with
thla and he was obliged to ressond with
popular airs with variations containing
among other tunes the "Last Roae of
Hummer" and Scotch bagpipe Imita
tions. The concert was concluded with the
Ave Maria," adapted from the "Caval
leria Ruatlcana." It waa given by Miss
