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

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:

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.

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.

to tuke out certificates of quulinVatiou
and was much gratified to learn that
the law did not have to be enforced
here as It was readily obeyed by the
local undertakers.
The fact that the Scranton undertak
ers were foremost In having this law
passed explains in a way. why the low
was so favorably received here.
