EXTENSION OF CHERRY STREET That Improvement Is to Bo Urged for a Number of K.asous Mr. P. Judge Chosen Pr.aid.nl ' of lb. Board. An Interesting meeting of the South Side board of trade was held last eve ning. President C. O. Uulund called tin? session to order untl being forced to unswer uu engagement elsewhere he staked the Indulgence of- the nicm-Lm-i-h and withdrew. John Hcheuer pie- ltl-ii the remainder of the meeting. The Hewer uuestlon wus brought un- cl-i- discussion by him. He advocated tliiit the South r! de be rearranged in different lines for a sewer district. cie-u.tln;i a new one which will embrace tin Nineteenth und Twentletn warus. una that portion of tho Kleventu not already sewered. This idea met with general approval nnd was discussed in commendatory terms. The Twelfth ward will ! entirely eliminated from the sewer district. The residents of that ward have been, with few exceptions, opposed to a sew er, ixnd by leaving them out there will be an unanimous feeling In Its favor among the persons who will have to stand the expense of constructing It. On Mr. Bcheuer's motion the commit tee, on sewetB, which consists of C. W. Westpfahl, SI. P. Judge. P. A. Cava, naugh. S. 8. Spruks, Christian Storr and Jlr. Scheuer, who was added to It, will confer with the sewers and drains committee of councils and City En gineer Phillips with reference to the matter. In the views expressed by the mem bers who took part in the discussion it was the general Bentiinent that the South Side is sadly In need of better streets and a Bewcr. STREET IMPROVEMENT. Another branch of this subject was Introduced by D. P. Murray, who re ported that a committee of the South Scranton Wheelmen's club has been at work for some time making prepara tions for a public meeting at Oermania hall for the purpose of agitating street Improvement. The board of trade Is win kins- In conjunction with the Wheelmen's club on this matter, and th? committees of both will nieet next Monday evening at 7.30 at Oermania hall to fix the date and transact what ever else is needed. One of the speak ers at the public meeting will be A. 1J. Dunning, Jr., ex-county surveyor, an ardent enthusiast on this subject. The main purpose of the meeting is to prove to the taxpayers that it is as cheap to have good roads as poor ones If you go ubout It In the right way. Mr. Judge spoke in favor of the move ment and believed that public meet ings in all the wards would result ben eficially. The Idea was advanced that the board should advocate the expen diture of ward appropriations by the street commissioner and the taking away from cotincllmen all power of employing men on the streets. OPENINO OP CHERRY STREET. The opening of Cherry street to South Washington avenue was considered and the secretary was instructed to com municate with the city oltiiials and urge that the ordinance recently passed but Inoperative as yet because tho Dela ware and- Hudson Railroad company has neglected to comply with its provi sions, be respected by the company and a move made to comply with Its provi sion without further delay. The or dinance provides that the platform at the Steel Works station, being built on Cherry street, be at once removed in order that the street may be opened. The ordinance removes the rrosging from where it now is, between Fig and Cherry streets, and places it at the ex tension of Cherry street. The members in discussing the motion all agreed that It la a crying shame to permit the condition at this crossing to remain as it has so long. There are upwards of l.f.OO girls employed in the Kauquoit silk mill, and for their protection Jhe streets ought to be changed. The girls coming out of the factory in winter evenings are tempted to get on the railroad tracks to get off the muddy street, and they risk the danger of getting run down by passing trains. MK. JUDOE PRESIDENT. It has bepn tho custom In the past to nominate olllcers in March and elect In April. Tho manner of 'choosing offi cers Is discretionary and the usual rule waa discarded Jast night. Nominations were made and election followed. M. P. Judge was nominated and elected president, und will make-a most ef ficient and careful ofllcer. Mr. Bolahd declined a re-election, which wus pressed upon him. M. J.

The announcement In The Tribune that the friends of Natlonul Chnlrmun liuriity do not propose to sit down nnd calmly allow their favorite to be given u slap by the Lackawanna delegation has kept the political gosslpers busy for th lust two days, and the matter has been argued and discussed in all of Its many-sided phases. The men who were elected Tuesday night uppear to scout the Idea that anything like u sorir ous effort will be made to contest their Beau In a state convention. Said one of them yesterduy who assisted In elect ing them: "No matter what talk may be Indulged in about Postmaster F. M. Vundliui; having credentials to repre sent the First Legislative district in the state convention he hua no right what ever to warm u seat In that body for the reason that he was not elected dur ing the yeur in which the convention will be held us required by the state rules. Another matter to be consid ered Is thut it will be Impossible. I ven ture to say, to elect Hurrlty delegutes In the legislative district of the county even if it was legal to do so, which I very seriously question." The selection of Martin J. Cadden for the position of state committeeman to succeed ex-Sheriff: Robinson was a sur prise to a large number of men who thought they possessed Inside informa tion. Mr. Caddon is a very young mail', but has done a good deal of work for his party. He Is a member of the present Democratic city committee and was elected to represent one of the Thir teenth ward districts in the county con vention of last fail. Unable to attend the meeting, he named W. J. Hurke, of the Ninth ward, who Is a relative of his, as his substitute. - An effort was made to deny Mr. Burke a Beat In the con vention, which created a storm that threw the convention Into a tumult for the time. As a result ol the outcome of that convention Mr. Cadden has been made a member of the state committee. The principal duty that will devolve on him is to assist in the selection of a chairman of the state committee. By virtue of his otllce as chairman of the county committee, James J. O'Neill, of Carbondale, is also a member of the state committee. About April 1 Its members will meet to select a successor to Robert E. Wright, of Allentown, the present state chairman, and then Lacka wanna will have to show her hand, po litically speaking. Besides the state chairman, the Lackawanna members of the committee will assist in the elec tion of a chairman for the seventh divi sion, comprising all of this part of the state. John M. Claim an, of Luserne, at present tills the olllce and is said to be ambitious to succeed himself. . In the selection of Mr. Cadden as state committeeman many of the local Dem ocrats see the plain imprint of the hand of W. J. Burke. The latter would like the assistance of llarrlty in his fight with Herring, It Is said, but realizing that the national chairman would na turally . help rather than hurt the Bloomsburg stutesman, Mr. Burke lies' set himself to work to bring about' a condition of affairs that will cause the national chalrmun to keep dear of the tight entirely. If this can be done Burke's friends say that Herring win have to go. Securing a member of the state committee favorable to Ids pur pose was Burke's first adroit move in this direction. Others will follow. There is much speculation about the Identity of the two men who will be named as delegates to the natonal con vention from this county. If the dele gates named Tuesday night get seats in the state convention the present indi cations are mat they will name Joseph O'Brien as one of the national dele gates. Others who are mentioned in connection with the honor are ex-Sheriff John J. Pa hey, ex-Congressman Lemuel Amermun. Mayor-elect James fl. Bailey. County Treasurer Charles Hchadt and John J. O'Boyle. Some of the prophets predict that the national delegates will be Mr. Fahey and Mr. Schadt. Four years ago Colonel P. J. Pitzsimmons and F. M. Vundlipg were the national delegates from this county and Charles Robinson was chosen as one of the delegates-at-large. It Is not likely that Lackawanna will get a dele-gate-at-large this year, as Luzerne claims the distinction of naming the man from this part of the state. The Democrats of common council will caucus on March P. J. Nealis nnd James J. drier are the leading can didates for chairman. THREE HlXE ACCIDENTS. On. of Them Is Kxpcct.d to Remit Fatally-Anoth.r May l.o.o III. Might Leg. Three mine accident rases, were re ceived at the Lackawanna hospitul yes terduy morning.

SGRAHTOH MEN ACTIVE They Puuired Extensively in the Heading Municipal Convention. MR. TORRET GIVEN FIRST PLACE lie Is Made Chairman of tb. Permanent Commit!., of City Solicitors Which Will Pram. Amendment.- Talk, on th. Work of th. Convention. The Scranton delegation to the Read lug convention returned yesterday, well satisfied with the work that was done there. As indicated in the United Press reports Scranton figured exten sively in the doings of the convention. City Solicitor Torrey was madechulr nian of the executive committee, coin IMjHed ot the city solicitors of all the cities represented, which is the prin cipal otlU-t. within the gift of the con vention. The Scranton delegutes did some quiet work towards having Mr. Torrey made chairman of the conven tion, mid hud succeeded In winning over the committee on Humiliations, but Just bufore the committee retired to riume Us report Mr. Torrey hud his name withdrawn, us un uct of courtesy to the Reading people who wanted one of their men honored with the petition. The outcome of ulTulis showed that this was the best urrangemeiit after all, for as stated above Mr. Torrey was given the moat Important position created by the convention. This committee bus been called to meet In this city on May 2fi. It will then proceed to frame what ever amendment it is proposed to hus'e introduced at the next session ui tne legislature. . WORK OP THE CONVENTION. Mr. Torrey, when seen yesterday af ternoon by a Trtbun . veporter, gave the following Interesting resume of tho work of the convention: "There Were fifteen cities represent ed In the convention by about seventy delegates. The convention having no deflulto formulated business to trans act, its work was necessarily prelim inary and tentative. It was recognized that It would, be Impossible to ade quately discuss such changes In the municipal law as might be desired by the numerous delegates in such a con vention without any previous formula tion of the changes. The convention, therefore, at its llrst session, after or ganizing, appointed a committee to rec ommend an order of business for the convention and a scheme of future work. Of this committee Scranton was accorded tint chairmanship. At its meetings upon Thursday, the conven tion udopted the report of this com mittee, which provided that the city solicitors of all the cities in the state should constitute a committee to which should be referred all proposed chungeB in the municipal law, and which com mittee should formulate such changes iu proper form for presentation to the legislature, and. submit them to an ad journed meeting of the convention, which was fixed to be held in WllllamH port. This recommendation was adopt ed and the city solicitors present in the convention organized by electing the city solicitor of Scranton as Its chair man, and the city solicitor of Chester, Mr. Cochran, as recording secretary, and City Solicitor Stuart, of Carbon dale, corresponding secretary, and the first meeting of the committee was called at Scranton on the 26th of Slay. The remainder of tho sessions of the convention of Thursday were occupied In the brief presentation by delegates of such complaints and criticisms of the practical working of the municipal act of 1&S, as It had discovered by them, and as to which changes were desired. SENTIMENT NOT RADICAL. It may safely be said that the general sentiment of the convention was rather conservative than radical, and that it was not deemed wise to throw over board the frame of municipal govern ment which we now hi've, and which in many particulars has proved to be sat isfactory, and which has been for over twenty years in use, and. has been twice within thnt time entirely revised nnd frequently amended, and which has In many of Its provisions been al ready construed and Its meaning fixed by tho decisions ot the courts, and strike out uuon some new scheme of municipal government, based upon the ories, however plausible, of the advan tages to be derived from the change. A great deal was said In the conven tion and In the nrwiapersith ref erence to "home rule" for cities, but It wus dilTlcult to understand precisely what was meant by that phrase, inns much as there Is and has b-en since the constitution of 1K74 no special leg islation for cities, and therefore no leg islative interference with local self government. There wus a frequently expressed desire to secure a greater de gree of flexibility in the act ho that It might be adapted more perfectly to the wants of the largest and the smallest cities of the class; and there is no doubt thai In many of the changes which may be made such flexibility will be secured, so far as it is practicable to accom plish it under general legislation. It was found among the representatives of the cities assembled that the matters which give the most uunoyance und anxiety with them as in Scranton, were not so much the result of defects In past legislation orequlre ments for new legislation, ns they were In constitutional restrictions upon any legislation as the constitution is inter preted by the supreme court, so that up on those subjects the cities, the conven tion and the legislature are all equally powerless to accomplish any benellciul results. A large number ot matters were suggested nd cursorily discussed, which will be incorported in sugges tions for amendments to the municipal uct. and muny of which would no doubt be of advantage to the cities. The members of the convention were most generously and hospitably enter tained by the council und citizens of Rending, and a bounteous dinner' wits tendered them at the Mineral Springs park, belonging to the city, on Thurs day afternoon, and only the blizzard prevented ono or two short excursions which hud been planned and arranged for." CLOSE OF ENGAGEMENT. Young America Abroad and th. Black Flag Will Be Sen Today. Today the Walte Comedy company will close Its two" weeks' engagement at the Frothlngham. During that period a large number of plays have been given In a way that reflected much credit on the members of the Waite company. Yesterday afternoon "Driven from Home" was seen by a large audience, and at night "Kathleen Mavourneen" was given in a way that called forth the hearty applause of the audience. This afternoon "Young America Abroad" will be seen. In both of these pieces the company appears to good advant age. MEETING OF GRAND JURY. Two Murder Cases Will Come Before It for Consideration. Orand Jury and equity court will be in session next week, with Judge Arch bald on the bench. The number of tran scripts sent In to dale by aldermen and Justices of the peace is 130. The term will be one of average. The Jury will pass upon two murder rases. One of them is the homicide of Michael Rotkoskie by Charles Fischer of the Ridge ki Archbald borough on Monday, Feb. 11, last. The injured man was struck on the head with a chair In the house of John Shambush kle during a celebration incident to a christening. The man died the day after. The other murder case is the one In which John J. Rafter of Green Ridge, lost. his life from the effects ot two pistol wounds inflicted by Sam Tont, un Italian, on Main street. Old Forge. Tuesduy, Feb. 4. Rafter died at his home on the 2m h of the same mouth from blood poisoning. The constables of the city and county will come forward on Monday and make their quarterly returns, regurdtng the manner in which the high license law is respected. HE WILL BE BURIED TODAY. Remains of I'nldcntlfiod Polander Will Be Placed In tho Grave. Undertaker A. R. Raub yesterday re moved the remains of the, Polander, who died at the Moses Taylor hospital Sunday evening, to his establishment on Spruce street and this afternoon will Inter it either In Forest Hill or Washburn street cemetery. The man has not been ldcntilled and who he was will, perhaps not be discovered until the final roll call at the general dissolution. Tho Delaware. Ijickawanmi and Western Railroad company by its gen eral manager. William F. HnllHtead, hns ordered Mr. Rnub to take charge of the funeral and give the body Chris tian burial. The man was struck by a train at Tobyhannu a week today. THE LIQUOR LICENSES. Court This Morning Will Announce Those Granted and Refused. Judges Archbald, Uunster unci Ed wards were in consultation Wednes day afternoon, Thursday und yesterday considering the applications for liquor licenses; at o'clock this morning they will come upon tho bench and hand down the list of those granted und those refused. . . That some will not be granted is be yond doubt, but the court has not given many Intimations While the applica tions were being board to bust- any con clusion on us to what will bn done. All the old houses will likely be licensed, and only those new ones will be li censed which havo been shown to be a necessity. OFFICERS OF MEL1TA. Chosen at a Meeting of th.
