FEKIJEK MATTER GOES OYER Captain Molr Makes Another "Reform" Speech-Mill Was Ilia Inspiration. Hid for Erecting Nay Auc Knging llouie Received -Other Matters. Select council could not muster a nuo rum last night and the fight on Chief Ferber's appointment consequently goes over until next Thursday night. There were Ilfteen members In and about the meeting room at 8 o'clock but it was impossible to get eleven of them together at any one time. Finally President Westpfahl became convinced that a majority of the members were not in favor of n session and so at 8.1ii o'clock, with only live members In their seats he ordered the roll call. Messrs. Roche, Schwenk, Manley. Fellows and Westpfuhl were the only ones who re sponded nnd when no quorum was de clared, adjournment wus made until next Thursday night, when a regular meeting is scheduled. There was a large crowd of spectators In attendance to see the expected fun but they were compelled to go away tinsatlslli.'d. It wus expected that the tire department committee would have a meeting previous to the council meet ing, but u quorum of that body also failed to materialize. The Mills matter which was also to have come up last night, went over until next meeting with the lire department appointments. lil'SY SESSION OF COMMON'. Captain Mali- took advantage of his position as a -common councilman last night to mnke un uttuck on Mayor Connell, using as the basis of his criti cism the unsuiiported statement of ex- Police officer Thomas K. Mills, whom the mayor has dismissed because of churges made against him by two young gli Is. ' The Immediate occasion of the captain's remarks war ',he Introduction of u resolution granting Mills $J.".0 sal ary for the time that he was Idle, which wus from Nov. 21, until March I, when notltled of the result of the In vestigation of his case. Who intro duced the resolution is not known nnd although several spoke In favor of It no one would father it. Clerk Ilntton lalincil that It was found on his desk and that Chairman llrler told him to read It, when his attention wus called to It. It read us follows: ' Wliei-eus, Police (Mirer Thomas Mills bits been suspended frum duty since Nov. 21, 1SH"., mill that during that time tile liivestlKUtion h.is been .pending he has been ready and willing to perform his duly as a patrolman as soon as notltled of Ills reinstatement : and Whereas, The mayor has now made Ills removal absolute, und that he is not to lie reinstated: therefore lie it Resolved, ily the common council, the select council euiieuiTiliK, that the lis al otlh-ers' of the city are hereby authorlMl und directed to issue u city warrant to said Thomas K. Mills In the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars, being payuc-nt in full for the time Hils-peinled to Mar -n 1, 11. Severul cotincllmen were un t licit- feet in 'un Instant with their "uglli' the government" speeches. One of them, CuptHiu Mnir. made? remarks which will no doubt be of interest to the public because they were tnude by Captain Molr. not because of the personality of Captain Molr, but because his reniHlks have a connection with a political bat tle, which attracted wldesnrend atten tion und in which the cuplutn was nn Incident. Jn a disconnected sort of way the captain went on to say: WHAT THK CAPTAIN SAID." "The mayor had no reason to keep this man In suspense so long or, yes, yes, he hud n reason, you know the reason. I know the reason, we know the reason. Mills went around with tears In his eyes as big as peas asking his friends to vote for a certain set of delegates. There's the reason. Why didn't he dismiss him before election'.' He was tooting his horn in the papers the other day.. He has made a good mayor. He's paid for that, lint this thing Is picayune politics. If he hud any munhood about him he would pay this claim himself. We don't know what It Is going to cost. It will not be disposed of until select council takes final action. We ought to let the cit izens hear these things, etc.. etc.. etc. . When the captain hud quite exhaust ed himself. Mr. Keller very calmly re marked that it was quite inconsistent for a body to puss u set of resolutions commending a mayor at one meeting und at the very next meeting to muke uncalled for and undignllleil uttneks on him. The mutter was referred to the police committee In conjunction with the city solicitor. The light for municipal favor be tween electrici'.y and gas was nn in teresting feature of the meeting. The report that the estimates committee intended to resurrect the resolution dis pensing with the use of electric lights ill city buildings brought from the Scranton Illuminating, Heat und Pow er company a letter In which they called attention to the fact that it wus no fault of theirs that the light bills ore so high, but that it was due to the reckless and extravagant use to which the lights are put; and further that In order to lessen the bills by preventing the waste of electricity tin; company is wlllinir to contribute the servlcts of Its electrician in rewiring the engine houses ho that the number of lamps may be decreased, where such a thing can be done without hardship to the company. Following this there was read a letter "from the Hunt & Council company, olering to supply Wellsbach burners, giving nrlces and explaining the merits of this Improved burner, samples of which were In ope ration on the side brackets and on the standards at the chairman's desk. Hoth letters were referred to the light and water committee. NAY Al'G F.NGINB HOT'SR. Bids for the construction of the new Nay Aug engine house at the corner of .Franklin avenue und Page court, were opened and read and much to the de light of the friends of the project there were any number of bids under $lf),0U0, which Is" the estimated available amount. The bidders and their llgures follow: K. S. Williams. $0,260; K. Finn & Sons. $10,00; Mulheri & Judge, $, XfiO; Kdwin O. Hughe. $.S0 (electric wiring $1X1 additional): Frank Shiffer, $'.1,800 (electric wiring, $lSa): Peter Stipp. S!..r,00 (electric wiring. $1X0): Conrad Schroeder, $!MH)0( Including electric wir ing) The proposals were referred ti) the fire department committee, vlh In structions to award the contract to lite lowest responsible" bidder, providing, however, that the necessary funds are available. At present there Is $S,"00 re maining In the fund for the purchase of real estate. The accrued Interest on the moneys In that fund will possibly moke up the necessary amount. In or der to have this accrued Interest ap plied to the fund for the Nay Aug house, Mr. Robinson Introduced a resolution transferring It from the sinking fund. This, by the way, was Mr. Hoblnson's last olllcial act as a common council man, his resignation going Into effect last night. Another resolution directed City Clerk LnveUe to advertise for pro posals for tearing jdown the present building standing on the plot where It Is proposed to erect the engine house. The Traction company came In with a resolution asking permission to lay a double or single track on Ninth street, between Swetlnnd and Lackawannu The resolution went to the railway com mittee with Instructions to secure an opinion from City Solicitor Torrey as to whether such a privilege can be granted by resolution. Resolutions were passed n.t follows: Vacating the Fast Mountain road In the Twelfth ward; directing the city en- REV. ZEPHAHIAH MEEK, D. D. Eminent Methodist Divine Cured of Nerve Trouble by Paine's Celery Compound, Rev. X.ephanlah Meek, D. P.. Is household name nil over the South. Since ixti" he has owned and edited the "Central Methodist," the leading paper of (lie Methodist Kpiscopul Church in the South. He represented his State ut the General Conference. He was one.of the Kentucky Commla Hlouersut the Chicago Columbian Expo sition. During his ministry In the South he has built and dedicated live chapels. He w rites from Cut let tsliurg, Ky., where his home is, ns follows: "I have used several bottles of Paine's celery compound for nervous trouble, resulting from overwork, und with Im mediate effect, ns well as permanent benefit. It Is the best nerve tonic that I have ever tried. Il has also been used In my family with great benefit." Tired-out. Imll'-slck men nnd women need something more than a mere rest. They need n positive, unmistakable nerve fund; they must have a reserve of nerve-force todruw from. before their heads will cease to ache und their nerves cease to tremble with neuralgia. It Is estimated that there are over ten million nerve libres in the body. So long as these minute tissues are kept fully nourished, one lives in bliss ful Ignorance of any such thing as neu ralgia, heuduches, or even a nervous system, but let one become "run-down" ami the nutrition of the body get low, and every one of these myriad fibres becomes a "live wire" within the llesh. Headaches, neuialgtii, rheumatism, and other forms of nervousness nnd debility result directly from a furnished nerve system. Paine's celery compound is uble to correct this faulty condition. It builds nil the nervous system nnd sus tains it. The brain at once feels the strengthening effects of the superb nutiinie'nt. There are thousands of men gineer to give an estimate of the cost of grading Olive street, between Irving und Prescott avenue; directing the city clerk to publish the pending ordinance for paving Monroe avenue; permitting Burke Bros, to construct a nui-row-Ktiuge ruilroad across the East Moun tain in order to facilitate the carrying of material for the construction of the new reservoir. BRIGHT AND LOVE CLAIM. City Solicitor Torrey communicated to councils I'he proposition of Messrs. Bright and Love to accept $1,000 in set tlement of their famous dunuige claim, and council passed a resolution em powering the city solicitor to effect a compromise on those terms. Mr. Tor rey also usked and was grunted power to settle the claim of Haydn Evans of $225 for damages resulting from the grading of Bromley avenue, Mr. Evans agreeing to accept $17a. He was ulso authorized to settle Anthony Walsh's claim of $."i0, the amount awarded him by the viewers who assessed the dam ages resulting from the construction ut the Fourt District main sewer, the amount compromised on being $2fi0. The bonds of Treasurer-elect Buland and Controller-elect Robinson were ap proved. The ordinance providing tor the pav ing of Monroe avenue, between Vine and Myrtle streets, wus passed on first and second readings. - COURT HOUSE MARRIAGE.

Nervous affections ate a warning to busy people. At the earliest sign of reduced nerve force. Inability to sleep, languor, or a gloomy habit of iniiid, everyone should look Immediately to the nutrition of their nerve system and to the purity of their blood. Paine's celery compound will attend to both of those urgent needs more thoroughly and more speedily than anything else in the world. Paine's celery compound is not to be confound ed with the common preparations, the sarsupaiillits und nervines. Being the discovery of a man of science. Prof. Ed ward K. Phelps. M. D.. I.L. D., of Dart mouth college, it has the support of the best physicians; they proscribe it uni versally; and the many sick persons made well by its use proves that that support is merited. To the great majority of business men a vacation, to say nothing of three mouths of complete liiucllvlty, is out of the question at this season, even when their brains demand a compu te lest and their nerves ache and threa'.en them with prostration. Now, there are hundreds of business men and hard worked professional men in tills city In just this condition. What are they to dof Those who are tired out, "run down" nnd debilitated at this trying season will do well to read some of the struiglitforwurd and convincing state ments f''om the men and women who have been cured by Paine's celery com pound. , Nervous weakness vanishes before Paine's celery compound as mist before the strong, health-giving rays of the sun. Convince yourself of the fact ut once, if your health is at all impaired. AT THE "OLD HOSS" SALE. Sotno One (lot Away with Ono of the Hnreaiiis und Arrests f ollowed. Wednesday night M. J.
