GENEROSITY OF THE BLIES.
Capiat Atherton Say They Prefer to
Have the Money Intended fur the Ban
quet l aed for Some Other Purpose.
The general secretary of the Young
Men's Christian association received
the following letter lust evenlnir from
l. 11. Atherton, the captain of the
"Blues:"
Georgo O. Mahy, Secretary Young Wen's
Christian Association, Scranton, Pa.
Dear Sir: Why spend 3(ju or m of the
hard earned proceeds of the late member
ship contest on a banquet? As captain ot
the winning side, I say no. While It would
be an occasion of considerable satisfac
tion to us to be feasted by so loyal a band
as the "Reds," and whllo it would, no
doubt, be an evening of great enjoyment
to us all, yet.l feel that winning so noble
a buttle is recompense enough for the
niues."
1 would, therefore, suggest that the pro
posed banquet be dispensed with, and the
amount of money that It would cost be
used In carrying on the great and good
work of the association.
While I have consulted only two of my
lieutenants (both of whom heartily agree
with met I am willing to assume the re
sponsibility of saying that you have our
consent to cull the banquet off.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) I. B. Atherton.
Captain of the "Blues."
The board of directors of the Younir
Men's Christian association are unable
to decide upon the answer which is to
be Riven to this generous offer on the
part of Captain Atherton until they
first hear from the majority of the
"Blues."
If it Is plainly the will of the major
ity that the money which the banquet
would cost should be saved for the
natatorium. the board Is willing it
should be so. On the other hand, the
hoard recognizes the fact that it la un
der agreement to give a banquet to the
winners In the contest, unless there
should be a plain expression of opinion
to the contrary. Therefore the mem
bers of the "Blues," both rank and Hie.
are asked to express their desire either
In person or by writing to General Sec
retury Mahy, not Jater than Thursday
of this week.
In case the bnnqitet Is "called oT' by
a majority vote of the "Blues," the di
rectors will offer as a substitute a
rotiplng reception with abundant re
freshments of cuke, coffee. Ice cream
and strawberries to be served by Cat
erer Hun Icy.

PAVING CONTRACT FIGHT
Property Holders Take Sides With
the Two Companies.
PROMISES TO BE AUITTEK WAR
Barber People Allege That Dun Brothers
Cannot Fulfill the Contract and
Many Property Holders Are
of This Opinion.
The fight over the Monroe avenue
paving contract Is going to be a bitter
one. It promised to oe desiierate
enough with only the bidders as bel
ligerents, but now the property holders
have taken a hand lit the battle and a
hot tight can be looked for.
Last night the paving committee of
common council consisting of Luther
Keller, chairman, James F. Noone. P.
F. Gordon. Thomas McGrail and Ed
Ward Wenael, which has in hand the
consideration of the rival bids, met for
the purpose of giving the opposing com
panies an opportunity of stating their
cases. Instead of merely having to deul
with the representative of the compa
nies, the committee found Itself be
sieged by two delegations of property
holders, the one headed by W. W. Wat
son, which questioned the advisability
of experimenting with a new and In
experienced company, and the other
with W. II. Gearhart as spokesman,
strongly arrayed on the side of the low
bidder.
Chairman Keller opened the session
by having Clerk Hatton read the bids.
The Barber Asphalt company proposed
to lay the pavement for $2.58 per square
yard; to put in straight curb lor 67 cents
per lineal foot: to put in curved curb
for 92 cents and to reset old curb for 22
cents. Dunn Bros, offered to do the
paving for $2.23 per square yard; to put
In curb for SO cents per lineal foot, and
to reset old curb for 15 cents per lineal
foot. The propositions having been
read, Mr. Keller gave notice that the
committee was ready to hear from the
interested parties.
W. W. Watson was the first to speak.
He said that it came to his ears that
there was some question as to the ma
terial which Dunn Bros, could furnish;
also that they lacked experience, never
having laid any asphalt pavement,
While he in common with the other
property holders wanted to get the
pavement laid as cheaply as possible,
he did not think it advisable to try an
experiment which might prove costly
In the end.
MR WATSON'S PAPER.
Mr. Gearhart interrupted him here
.with the interrogation as to whether
he represented the Barber Asphalt
company or the property holders, to
which Mr. Watson replied that he rep
resented some of the property holders
Mr. Watson then read a paper, which
he stated he had drawn up at the re
quest ox the property holders he repre
sented, in which the committee was
petitioned to assure itself that the
asohalt which Dunn Brothers propose
to use Is the genuine pitch Lake Trim
dad asphalt, required by the specillca
tlons; that they be compelled to submit
a sample of It for expert examination;
that they show where they propose to
get the asphalt; that they prove they
have tho skilled labor and ability to
properly lay the pavement and that
their financial responsibility be proved
to be unquestionable. The Barbercom
pany, the petition went on to say, can
and will do all this.
It also asked the committee to take
Into consideration that while the ac
ceptance of the Dunn Brothers' bid
would be a small saving to the property
holders a pavement that would not be
In every way first class would be the
dearest In the long run. The petition
concluded by asking that the commit
tee permit the use of nothing but the
pure pitch-lake asphalt and explaining
that us the Barber company owns all
the lake asphalt, other companies can
only secure what is known as "land-
asphalt," which Is formed from the
overflow of Trinidad lake and which by
reason of being exposed to the tropical
sun loses mucn or its on ana moisture.
besides containing many impurities ab
sorbed rrom tne land.
There were no signatures attached to
the petition. Mr. Watson explained
that he did not finish it until 6 o'clock
and consequently could not secure the
signatures of those who engaged him
to draw It up. Mr. Watson refused Mr.
Gearhart's request that he name the
petitioners.
MR. DUNN'S STATEMENT.
Thomas Dunn, the junior member of
the firm of Dunn Brothers, next took
the floor. He said that his firm would
give a bond that they would do the
work according to the specifications
and equally as well as the Barber peo
pie could do It, and for lib cents a
square yard less. That was their side
of the Case.
'He can't do what he says," spoke
up Colonel Hitchcock. Our company
never made 10 per cent, on any Job In
this city. These people can't get the
material and they haven t the exper
ience. A nrm that never laid a yard
of asphalt can t jump In and do first
class work. The pavement may look
well, but It won't last."
"Wasn't the first pavement you ever
laid in this city the best that you have
put down here?" queried Mr. Gear
hart.
"We had ten years experience when
we laid our first pavement here," an
swered tne colonel.
Mr. Gearhart then made quite
lengthy speech In favor of accepting
Dunn Brothers' contract. He said they
were a Arm doing a big business and
are perfectly reliable. They can get
this asphalt by paying for it, and they
have the money to buy It. The specltl
cations call for certain things and we
have a city engineer and an Inspector
to see that the specifications are lived
up to. By accepting the Dunn Broth
ers' bid the property holders on the
four squares to be paved, will be saved
$2,871.81 for pavement alone, not count
tng the saving on curbing.
He concluded by stating that he was
there to represent himself and some of
the property holders and not Dunn
Brothers, and further affirmed that
Dunn Brothers did not know that he
was going to be there.
T. H.1 Watklns,' who spoke for him
self and C. D. Simpson and H. P.
Simpson, said that they had Just spent
thousands of dollars on property there.
and wanted only the best pave. If the
committee Is satisfied that Dunn Broth'
ers can fulfill the contract give It to
them, but if there Is any question of
their ability to do so, he would not
'want the committee to save the 33 cents
on his account.
Then the .question as to the kind of
asphalt that Dunn Bros, proposed to
furnish was discussed for some time.
Mr. Dunn refused to disclose where he
intended to get It, but agreed to submit
a sample of It for expert examination,
Colonel Hitchcock brought forward
samples of their asphalt and left them
with the committee. ,
THEY WILL COMPETE.
Mr. Dunn stated that It is their In
tentlon to put up a plant here and
compete for asphalt contracts as long
as there is one to be given out.
William Hanley and C. P. Matthew
spoke in favor of the Barber company
or of having positive assurance that
Dunn Bros, will do equally as good
work. .Messrs. Kern, Kraus, Dohcrty,
Ruddy, McCourt, and Kelly were the
property holders who were for Dunn
Bros.' proposal. xne committee aecm
ed to adjourn until such time as Dunn
Bros, could submit a sample or Its as
phalt and will meet at the call of the
chair.
At the conclusion of the business the
committee was besought by a delega
tlon of property holders living on Mul
berry street between. Clay and Prescott
avenues, who object to that portion of
the street being Included In the ordln-
ice fur paving Mulberry street rrom
Mifflin avenue to Prescott avenues, al
leging that owing to recent excavations
he street Is In no condition to receive
pavement, and that brick, at all
events. Is the proper pavement for that
territory.
P. W. Stokes argued for the property
holders and Colonel Hitchcock made
answer to the objections. The commit
tee postponed action until Its next
meeting.

THE POWER OF LIUUT.MXG.
One Bolt Known to Hove Equalled 80,000
Horse Power.
It is no doubt interesting to express
the force of a stroke of lightning in
horae power. During a recent storm
which passed over Klausthal, a bolt
struck a wooden column In a dwelling.
nnd In the toy of this column were
two wire nails, 6-32 inch diameter. The
electric fluid melted the two nails In
stnntly. To melt Iron In this short time
would be Impossible In the largest fur
oco now In existence, and It could only
HccomMisnea with tne aid of elec
tricity, but a current of 200 amperes
nnd a potential of 20,000 volts would be
tiecessury.
This eleclrlc force for one second rep
resents MOO horse power, but ns the
lightning accomplished the melting In
considerably less time, say one-tenth
or a second, it rollows that the bolt
was El'.COO horse power.
Making Ends Meet.
"Yes," said the suburban resident to his
urban friend, as he unrolled his trousers
ana stepped rrom tne pedal polisher s u
dcstal, "yes, my homo in Hayville would
be a perfect puradlse wore it not for the
distance from the city, und mud I must
plunge through to catch my train, the
scarcity or cooks and the chronic bron
chitis superinduced by draughty ferry
bunts and overheated trains.
"Why don't I winter In town then? Whv
I enn't afford to. The cost of living?
Well, yes, groceries do average somewhat
higher than In the citv.' Th onmmnnlna-
tlon? Yes, that Is a tax to be suro. Rent?
Oh, about the same as a comfortable flat
uptown. You can't see the economy then?

OVER TRIPP'S CROSSING
Ch'aace for the City to Secure a
' Viaduct at a BargaU.
TOTAL COST WILL BE 140.000
Of This Amount the O . L. ft W. Company
and Traction Company Are Will
ing to Pay the Lion's Share.
Plans Prepared.
Select Councilman McAndrews, of the
Twenty-first ward, will intr.luce a
.neasure In council tomorrow nlg'it that
will be of great Interest to the city,
and particularly to the North End sec
tion. City Engineer Phillips has prepared
an estimate of the cos of a viaduct
over the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western tracks at Tripp's crossing, and
finds that the Improvement can be pro
vided ot a cost of $40,000. The feature
of the legislation that Mr. McAndrews
will shape in connection with this via
duct tomorrow night. Is this: The
Scranton Traction company and the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad company have agreed to stand
all but one-eighth of the expense. That
fraction must be paid by the city.
When such a valuable and much de
sired Improvement can be secured at
so little expense id the city. It is quite
certain that the proposition will meet
with favor. Councilman McAndrew
has carried on the negotiations and haa
definite promise of the willingness of
the two companies to share seven
eighths of the cost, or $17,500 each. The
city will need to provide for an outlay
of only $.1,000. The only proviso In the
bargain Is that all traffic must go over
the viaduct. City Engineer Phillips
Included In his $40,000 estimate the
probable amount that would be re
quired for damages to abutting proper
ties. OBITUARY.
