Meeting of Borough Conned. '
This evening at o'clock the borough
council of Hyde Park, which has not
been heard of in years, will meet in
the directors' room of the West Side
bank, for the purpose of electing a suc
cessor Xo David Powell, formerly of
this side, now of the central cltr. .The
council at present consists of: Hon.
D. M. Jones, burgess; William H. eck
..,r, secretary; Ransom JJrlgtra,. Thomas
Carson and Captain M. L. Blair, coun
cilmen; A. B. Eynon, treasurer. There
Is an Interesting history connected with
this borough council, which was resur
rected In last evening's Times by Mr.
Twining as follows: "In 1S8 thirty-one
suits were brought against the borough
In the courts of Luzerne county for
bouhty tax alleged to be due old sol
diers, who had been accredited to Hyde
Park, to take the place of drafted men
of this place. The plaintiffs were non
salted as the United States provo-mar-shal's
records at Washington did not
how but four of these thirty-one men
had been credited to Hyde Park.
Later it was found that these thirty
one men had been credited to Hyde
Park on the United States adjutant
general's record, -and were entitled to
receive bounty money In the sum of
$300 each, from Hyde Park borough. A
couple of years ago thirteen of these
old -veterans instituted suit a second
time against the borough, and the suits
are now pending, y '
An .agreement '. baa been reached,
whereby the 'moneys now In the bor
ough treasury will be divided; among
the thirteen plaintiffs and the cases in
- court withdrawn. If this Is done the
borough government will be withdrawn
by order of court -
Nothing can be done, however, until
another councilman Is elected. Very
few of our .West Side residents are
aware that such an organization as a
borough council Is' in existence; but to
night It will meet as of yore. The
Dioss that has gathered around the
council machinery will be pulverized
and business will be resumed at the
same old stand, possibly for the last
Urn. -
' Hot Fight In the Fifth.
A Utter fight ts on in the Fifth ward
over the select councllmanlo represen
tation. The present Incumbent, R. H.
Williams Is opposed for re-election by
ex-Councilman E. E. Robathan. He
, has made many votes thus far In a
quiet canvass. The strongest light
seems to be between Messrs, Robathan
and Williams. Each is making a sys
tematic canvass of the voters In the
ward, and every honorable means Is
being used to further their candidacy.
The caucus will be held on Saturday,
Dee. 14. This Is perhaps the most in
teresting fight on the West Side, as
both men are prominent, and each has a
large number of friends.

"Yes, I am quite satisfied to do so. I
think tne public should know when a
really good remedy Is to be had, it Is
the least I can do in gratitude for my
recovery."
'Tell me about your complaint."
"About a year ago I had the Grippe,
and since then my back has pained mo
constantly in the region of the kidneys;
a dull pain at times, and at other Inter
vals, sharp, darting pains piercing
through me, were almost unbearable.
I seemed to be giving out as the pain
In my kidneys grew worse, and at last I
had to stay in bed the greater part of
the time. Finally, I gave up altogether.
I had terriflo headaches, and suffered so
much pain my appetite left me."
"Did the disorder affect the bladderT"
"Finally It did. The urine was highly

Attention of tie Botrt or Trade
Colled to the Natter.
CONGRESS TO DC APPEALED TO.
National Board of Trade Has tho Matter
In Charge Postmaster -General
Deported That a One Cent
Kate Is Possible.
A communication which Invites va
ried consideration by business men tn
particular has been received by the sec
retary of the Bcranton board of trade
from the committee on one-cent post
age appointed by the national board of
trade at Its recent meeting In Washing
ton, D. C. The matter will be thor
oughly discussed at the next meeting
of the board. .
One-cent postage (letter postage)
means a direct and positive saving to
each member of the board, but there is
bound to be a pronounced difference of
opinion on the matter, as many will not
approve decreasing the revenue of the
government In view of Its present low
ebb of money-Income; still, one-cent
letter postage will save (100 to the busi
ness man each year who now spends
$200. If one-cent postage existed, the
combined savings of the members ot
the board would be a very large sum.
It Is a Possibility.
That one-cent postage Is possible and
equitable is shown In the report of the
postmaster-genral for the year 1890,
where It Is demonstrated that In mat
year the revenue from letter-postage
alone amounted to J3S.000.000, while the
cost was only $8,000,000, leaving a pro
fit of $30,000,000. According to this re
port, had letter-postage been reduceu
In that year to one cent there would
still have been a profit of $ll,000,'uu0.
The simple fact is, that letter writers
are at present forced to pay double
postage in order that one class of
matter may be charged only one cent a
pound, or about one-twelfth of the ac
tual cost; and because many million
dollars of free moll matter used by de
partments of the government and
which should be charged to their own
accounts, are included in the expense of
the postal department.
The national board of trade commit
tee feels that the time has come to
stamp disapproval upon the present
system and a bill for the reduction of
the postage rate will be Introduced In
congress.
Severe Aetignnism Expected.
It will be confronted by severe antag
onlsm, and to overcome the opposition
the committee is aiming to secure the
co-operation of as many influential
bodies, citizens and officers as possioie.
The committee requests the Bcranton
board of trade to take Immediate and
favorable action.
The next meeting of the rational
board takes place in January, when it
is proposed to push the one-cent post
ne-p idea, to a definite Issue.
The national committee is composed
of such. well known ouslness men as
Flnley Acker, chairman, of Philadel
phia; Sllau M. Glddlngs, or Hroowyn,
v.: Blanchnrd Randall, of Baltimore.
The matter has been brought before ...e
Scranton board because It is a memocr
of the national body.

followlna:
To the Editor of the Truth.
The following appeared la one of yes
terday's papers:
"Andrew fltachlck, a Polander, while on
his way to work this morning, found a
garbage box In the alleyway between
Lackawanna avenue and tne Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western tracks. He
wanted the box and dumped the rubbish
out upon the tracks. The eagle eye of
Officer Dorkin caught' him and he ' was
shortly arraigned before Alderman Millar
and fined $6, In default of which be was
given thirty days; -
-if the oonteats of the above Item would
be considered by ten honest and law abid
ing oltlsens, I for one, would not have
any doubt about them saying that that Is
not JustloSk I ant not upholding the Po
lander; he may have committed the aot
of dumping the garbage upon the publlo
thoroughfare .unthinkingly, but did .the
aMerntan send falsi .no for thirty days
nanmklngtyT ow about Ms ftnllrt

he did. And It May be that the Polander
has no family; but, nevertheless, I do not
think It was fair to send a man up for
thirty days for such a deed as he commit
ted. I guess you can find all the garbage
yeu want throughout the biggest part of
the town, and very few people gent up
for thirty days. I may fall to see It In
the proper light, and If I don't why I will

man to lose Is suite a little, as the paper
says he was on his way to work.
John Frits.
Had Mr. Frlti's Information been cor
rect I would not be greatly surprised at
his Indignation, but the Item referred to
Is at almost total variance with the truth.
The man was arrested and fined $3 and in
default was committed for ten days, as the
law and Justice to therprosecutor demand
ed. However, as in any other caBes of a
like nature, when a wholesome warning is
more efficacious and Just than punishment
I suspended the Infliction of the sentence
Indefinitely and the worktngman with his
dinner pall, went his way without his
arrest costing him a cent.
My suggestion to Mr. Frits and others
who are ever ready to criticise public offi
cials is to look before you leap; lofty tum
bling sometimes results from leaping in
the dark.

SPORTING CHIT CHAT.
The college foot ball season of 1895 Is
over and on the whole It has been most
successful and satisfactory. There
have been several new and praise
worthy features developed, and the
game itself has been strictly Improved
by the new rules. Perhaps the most
Important point because it was the
point on which the life of the game de
pended in some colleges is that lack of
roughness that has characterised the
season's games. The Yale-Princeton
game was conspicuous because of ab
sence of unnecessary roughness all
through the match. Rosengarten, of
Princeton, was not disqualified to serve
as an example to the rest of the team,
or as a check to any rough play that
might be going on. He was disquali
fied because he broke the rules. And
In breaking the rules he made himself
conspicuous by contrast with the rest
of the team. The same absence of rough
play on the part of a whole team was
a marked feature of the other big
games, in fact, tne year has been sin
gularly free from a feature of foot ball
which has made the game a by-word
with newspapers heretofore, and with
a large class ot people who knew It
from observation or from hearsay.. If
one year of the sport has accomplished
this change, and if the change becomes
permanent, then the season of 1895 has
done a great deal for the game,
The English racing authorities are
beginning to discredit some of the re
markably fast times credited to John
S. Johnson. Regarding his one mile
record of 1 minute 44 1-R seconds, the
Cyclist says: "Owing to the extra early
arrival ot mall from America last week
we were enabled to publish an account
of J. 8. Johnson s wonderful ride of
1,760 yards In 1.44 1-5. The figures read
so surprisingly that our own statistician
suDjected them to the scrutiny of a sec
tlonal analysis. After riding the first
440 yards In 29 1-5 seconds, he rode the
next third of the distance at nearly
double that speed, only taking 4 4-5 sec
onds for 146 yards 2 feet, or at the rate
of a mile in 57 8-5 seconds. This will
want a lot of explaining as tho first
ouarter was so slow; the time-keepers
moBt likely muffed the flirt quarter by
at least three seconds, which ouirht to
have gone on to the next or one-third
stage. Even this alteration would
make the first (flying start be it re
membered) quarter mile gait of one
minute 44 4-6 seconds, and the next sec
ond one-twelfth of a mllo gait of 1
minute 33 8-5 seconds. A misplace of
4 seconds would make the mile gaits re
spectlvely 1 minute 40 4-5 seconds and
1 minute 45 3-5 seconds about what
they would be. Then from the half to
the two-thirds there ts a sudden rise In
the speed rates of 17 seconds per mile.
followed by a sudden slump of nearly
double that per mile, followed by a
Quickening of nearly ten seconds per
mile in tne last quarter. Mow, the me-chanlcal-Uke
pacing of the two quads
would never make such eccentric and
jagged speed rates, and, great rider as
Johnson Is, we do not believe he or any
other man, living or dead, can or could
have ridden 146 yards 2 feet In 4 4-5 sec
onds." Captain Wrltlngton announces that
Lorln F. Deland will be chief of the
Harvard corps of foot ball coaches for
the coming year. J. J. Ryan, '87, of
North Adams, has been chosen captain
of Williams foot ball team for '96. Ryan
has played right end for two seasons
and Is one of the best all around players
In the New England Intercollegiate
Foot Ball association. At a. meeting
caled Tuesday for the election of a foot
ball captain for Lafayette college for
the season of '06 Georgo B. Walbrldge
was unanimously elected. He has
played right half-back on the Lafayette
eleven during the past two seasons and
his work haa always been of a high
order. He is quick and a very heavy
player, and Lafayette men feel confi
dent of his ability to develop a success
ful team.
Two world's bicycle records were
broken at Choyenno, Wyo., Tuesday
John Or fen rode a mile In 1 minute 25
seconds flat on a straightaway course
with flying start, and unpaced, beating
the world's record, held by McLcod, of
1.33 2-6. Charles Erswell rode a mile In
1 minute 40 seconds flat, standing start,
unpaced, straightaway road course,
breaking the est time recorded
2.04 2-5. Several hundred persons wit
nessed the trial, which was with a wind
blowing twenty-eight miles an hour di
rectly upon the 'backs of the riders. L.
A. W. timekeepers and judges officiated.
RAILROAD NOTES.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the Trunk Lines' associations will be
held In New Tork on Thursday te take
action on the Issuing of clergymen
tickets. For some time past there has
been a disposition on the part of some
of the railroads to cease Issuing these
tickets but as the roads did not unite
In the movements the ministers con
tinued to receive the cut rate. It Is
thought that considerable opposition
will be raised at the meeting and an
effort will be made to do away with
these tickets. The principal objection
Is raised by the lines that ply between
New Tork and Buffalo. It Is said that
the lines In this city are not desirous of
making a change and will do all they
can to continue the Issuing of the
clergymen tickets. It has only been
lately that any objection has been made,
but the attempt to do away with the
practice has become a universal one
and the roads In the West, as well as
those In the East, are working on the
same problem. The reason the lines
between New Tork and Buffalo object
to tne issuing oi tnese tickets is that
many of them find their way Into un
scrupulous hands. It is contended that
the rates are low enough for all and
that no discrimination should be made.
The Philadelphia and Reading rail
road company, as well as the Pennsyl
vania, is aesirous or allowing the
same system to remain In effect, and It
will do all It can to have the rule per
taining to Issuing of clergymen tickets
remain unchanged.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey
has sent out twenty-two men from the
Ashley shops to put grab Irons on the
road from Phllllpsburg to Scranton.
