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, nJ. haaded by the reception commit. t-e, the Jtlks and Elkesses riled up f re to tne meeting nan, wnero daat and delicious "graslng" was overed. Their then gave themselves t to toe care of Chief Zlegler for ill PR uehiiibi . : FII1R WILLIAMS S IllllLT. Sure. 1MB Powder, 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.

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 llrundage. Miss Margaret .

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. did stvln And with flna ofrnnt The entertainment and the music of tne snow were under the direction of Mr. James, and were a very pleasant luuiure ui ine exninition.

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 serious when Mr. Scranton, Mr. Brooks ana air. wiscie outtonholcd the refrac tory Westnfahl In a nnraer nrhra M Els.ele asked him If he was positive he count get me enum Bide delegation ir. tvempiuni said ne certainly could then there were whlsnertn Irs. peetlnti lations and certain arguments which must have warmed him up. for the nnen session was resumed and he consented to necome a candidate for the nomina tion, ana asserted he could whip Mr, 1A.'i,lniiivH. ... ...... 1 . . r .
