IN BEHALF OF CUBA.

Junta of ltutTuln. ami one of the best
known and must Inl'uentlal i.f Cuban
pairiulis in this country. Is in the city.
He hopes to organize in Scranton with
in the next six weeks u Cuban Patriotic
union for the purpose of extending as
sistance to tlie men who are lighting
to free Cuba from Spanish misrule.
Senor Varonu is not in any way con
nected with the Cuban revolutionary
party. His mission Is purely peaceful.
His wish is to crystallize to practical
purpose t Ftrong Sentiment of sym
pathy which exists In this community
for the sintering und Ill-used victims
of Spanish brutality and arrogance In

Scranton is to make arrangements for
the placing on sale, at the various drug
stores of the city, of the Cuban flag, for

BULLET NOT LOCATED, j
X-Rays Did Nut Produce Satisfactory
Results In Fred Mink's CaseWere
Not Exposed Long Enough.
Nothing satisfactory developed from
the test of the X'rays on Officer K.'ecl
Mink ut the Luckuwnniia hospital. The
object of the test was, of course, to dis
cover the location of the bullet, but the
linprt! slon made uprin the plate was
nut distinct enough to show up clearly.
Photographer Fred Huinnilcr , made a
photograph from the plate.
A picture of Mr. Mink's rll.9 was
noticeable, but there was a dark outline
around them and that shut off a view of
the bullet. . Air. Alyn. the gentleman
who has the X ray machine, explained
that Mr. Mink should have been ex
posed to the rays about two hours at
least to get a good Impression. It Is
dlllicult to radiograph an old person
in less time than that because the mus
cular tissue hus been toughened with
years.
Mr. Mink would suffer greatly from
sitting two hours-under the rays, and
that Is why the time was limited to
forty minutes. Hut there was enough
in the Impression gULh as was obtained
to prove that the X ray has come to re
main. The question has been asked.
Why Is It culled the X ray? Because
the symbol X Is used In algebra to de
note an unknown quantity, and the
ray not being understood ny scientists
even, us yet. the term has been upplied
to give It a name,
Mr. Alyn proposes to give an exhibi
tion within a week to which doctors,
newspaper representatives Hiid others
,vlil be Invited. Very clear radiographs
can be taken of the bones of the hand,
arm, leg and foul, but difficulty has
been experienced In selng through the
denser portions of the body, chest and
ubdurnen.

IS ALTOGETHER
TOO MUCH LIGHT
Councils Want Crystal Company's Bills
Reduced One-Half.
THERE WAS A HEATED ARGUMENT
It All Wound l'i in Harmony Whcu
Chief Ilickcy Kxplniiicd the Exact
I'onditioti-xContrartor Williams'
Uil.-ev Resolutions Adopted,
liood Deal ot' Koutine Uusiness
Truusactcd by loiiimou Couucil.
There was a tempfst In a tea pot at
last night's meeting of the common
eounclt over the amount of bills for
Ifghilm? the Crystal Knglne tympany's
house on Linden street. At the last
meeting of sekct council a resolution
was paused directing the chief engineer
ot the lire department to rearrange the
Ushts In the building In some way
that would cut down the cost of lighting
one-half.
When this resolution came before the
common council last night for action
Mr. Zeldler of the Sixteenth ward,
moved to lay it on the table. This
motion was strongly objected to und
drew loith a spirited debate. Mr.
Zelriler again took the floor and de
clared that there was too great a ten
denoj to antagonize the lire department
all .of which wns very bad policy. He
believed In giving the firemen plenty
ut' light and did not think the Crystals
were wilfully burning light when there
was no need of It.
Mr. Flanaghnn. the member from the
Eighth, spoke in the same vein. He felt
that the city can ufford to be liberal
w ith the firemen. Captain Molr sought
to pour oil on the troubled waters by
stating that he understood there was a
leakage of electricity In the building
and it was to do away with this that the
resolution was aimed.
.MP.. OLIVER'S. REMARKS.
In the meantime Mr. 'Oliver of the
Fifteenth, had delivered himself of sev
eral speeches. He was opposed to the
large bills for lighting the Crystals
house and said very emphatically that
there "wns no good reason why. they
should pay from 20 to $2f. a month for
lighting that building when the bills
for the other houses were only $ft an $".
Mr. Nealis agreed with this view of
the ruse. At this point In the Intereiit
oi harmony ii was suggested thut
Chief Hlckey, who wns present, make a
KtHtemetit of the situation at the Crys
tal house.
The chief said that thirty lights were
being used In the building and as they
are not controlled by separate switches
they burn all night. J-Jy taking out
some of the lights nnd properly controll
ing others he thought the bills could
be reduced to $10 or M2 a month which
is enough to pioperly light the building
In his estimntion.
"If that's the. case, I'm in favor of the
resolution." said Mr. Zeidler as soon ns
the chief had concluded. Tlie ether ob
jectors were of the same opinion and
the resolution passed and quiet was
restored.
P.ILL OF .MR. WILLIAMS.
Tho bill of Contractor E. K. Williams
for work done on Xay Aug Engine
houge to date, H000, approved by the
architects, Uruwn & Morris, drew forth
another kick. It had been presented to
the auditing committee and Mr. Wil
liams asked perinbiMon to suspend the
rules and have It passed. There was
some lively objections to the irregular
ity of the proceedings but eventually
the bill was ordered paid
Resolutions were passed uuthorlzin
the city solicitor to settle the claim -if
Thomas Jordan for damages caused by
the grading of Twelfth street for $f.t);
requesting the sewers and drains com
mittee to visit the court south of Pros
peet avenue, between Ueech and Mapl.'
streets, nnd report to councils on til"
necessity of constructing a pipe drain
from rear of lot mvnril by Patrick Don
nelly to Maple street to connect with
the pipe drain now laid to said point:
directing the city engineer to give
grade, stakes in ScMmnff court, be
tween Kirch und Willcw streets, tip
said court btliut in un unsanitary con
dition and dangerous to the health of
the community.
WEST SIDE SEWER.
An ordinance for construction of a
sewer system i n the West Side In the
vicinity of Robinson street was Intro
duced und referred to committtee.
A select council ordinance for pav
ing Wyoming n venue, between Lin
den and .Mulberry street, was referred
to ii committee and reported favorably
forthwith.
The following ordinances were report
ed favorably from committees: Estab
lishing grade on Third nvenue: for ' c
trie light at Cilbson street and Taylor
avenue: narrowing the roadway and
widening the nldewatk on Wyoming
nvenue, between Linden nnd Mulberry
streets: narrowing of Irving avenue
from .Mulberry to Vine streets: for an
electric light on the corner of Cumber
land avenue and Hollow street.
The public building committee re
ported resolutions awarding the con
tract for the tw: cages lor women in
the police station to Fred Mursch for
250. The contract for the plumbing
work for the same was awarded to v. .
P. Connell & Hon for $!9.
MIDS FOR A PIPE DRAIN.
The following bids for the Hampton
street pipe drain were received: Hurt
& Gibbons, 91.15 per lineal foot; Peter
F. Mulligan. $415; Nlcholus Co.. S4T4:
Kunii Construction company. $415; T.'J.
McNulty, $1.10 per lineal foot.
A communication addressed by the
street commissioner to the mayor was
read. It called attention to the fact
that Roger Quitman, while employed
by the city, sustained n broken leg. and
'while,' the commissioner did not think
he haVa legal claim against the city
for damages, still he thought it would
be well to furnish him with some finan
cial relief and devise some means of
relief for himself and family. The
communication was referred to the sew
ers and drains committee In conjunc
tion with the street commissioner.
Action of select council in adopting
a resolution Inviting the national con
vention of letter carriers to meet In this
city In 1X97 was concurred In.
A resolution appropriating $100 to pay
Scranton's share of the cost of the mu
nicipal convention was passed, and an
ordinance introduced by Mr. Fianaghan
apptoprlatlng $409 to pay for paving
of Spruce street were referred to a com
mittee. Mr. Xoone's motion to meet
next Thursday night was defeated and
a few minutes later the meeting broke
up rather unceremoniously to witness
the test of the Are department.

' MIKADO AT THE FR0THIN0HAM.
Well Sting by Wilkes Bnrre Amateurs
Last Might,
Wilkes-Barre Is vindicated. Her
generosity und her musical ability were
demonstrated by a single coup which
occurred at the Prothlngham last night.
The fund for the relief of those who are
rendered destitute by the Pittston min
ing horror was enriched by more than
toW us a consequence, and a large audi
ence was Incidentally pleased.
ThAt most quaint and tuneful of
comic operas. "The Mikado," was the
means through which all of this pleas
ure was afforded and this money se
cured, and light tunefully and musical
ly was It Interpreted. Applause was
generous and frequent, and the number
of encores responded to amounted to
something more than a score.
Joseph P. Hums, formerly of this city,
was the directing spirit of the affair,
and the "Pooh Bah" of the opera. Ills
success In both capacities fairly en
titles him to geueiul congratulations.
To D. L. O'Neill, Jr., the "Ko-Ko" of the
pioductlon. fell the greut bulk of the
comedy work. Not many professionals
who have been seen here tn this trying
part have succeeded In evolving from
It so much of Us subtle humor or In In
terpreting the character peculiarities of
the part so well as Mr. O'Neill. J. D.
Birmingham, the "Nankl Pooh," was
In excellent voice. His acting Is as na
tural and unconstrained as his voice is
strong and expressive. D. J. Williams,
as the "Mikado," and Francis O'Neill
as "Pish Tush." did good work.
Miss Kittle McCabe was a winsome,
tuneful and clever "Yum Yum." She
sang with a wealth of expression and a
purity of tunc which Indicated positive
operatic tulent. Miss Mae Kenney, as
"Pittl Ling." was chic nnd thoroughly
at home In the part. The "Peep Boo"
of Miss faille Bowman was delightful,
iilss Etta Sleigh was a capital "Ka
tlsha." The chorus was strong, well balanced
and well drilled. The finale of the sec
ond net was particularly strong.

Letters lleorived by Secretary Ather
ton of the Hoard of Trade.
Secretary V. B. Atherton received two
letters yesterday from men who are
anxious to locate promising Industries
In this city. One of them is a resident
of Paterson, N. J., and is an experienc
ed twine and rope manufacturer. He
holds patents pertaining to the making
of twine which he says are very valu
able and wants to embark in the mak
ing of that article In this city if a
suitable site and $25,000 capital are
forthcoming. His factory would turn,
out two thousand pounds of twine a
day which he says could be disposed of
tit a fair profit. To manufacture on
that scale he would employ fifty hands
and require 5.000 feet of floor space.
An Albany man wants to locate a
factory for repairing boilers and ma
chinery. The business is now located
in Albany but another site Is being
sought and Secretary Atherton was
asked if he thought Scranton possessed
the field he is looking for. The letters
will be referred to the manufacturers
committee.
WARNING TO BICYCLISTS.
Those Who Ride Recklessly Will Be
Arrested Hereafter.
So many complaints have been made
to Muyor Bailey about the reckless high
rate of speed at which many wheelmen
go along the busy streets of the city,
that lie has given explicit orders to the
police to arrest every offender' here
after. The mayor Is disposed to give all the
latitude that accords with common
sense to the wheelmen, but he Is deter
mined that pedestrians will not have to
run the rlrk of their lives In crossing"

AN APPLICATION
FOR A RESPITE
Made to the Governor In the Interest of
Joseph Bo.'chlno at Lewistown.
REASONS THAT ARE ADVANCED
It Is Claimed That Kcceut Develop
ments Present Old Facts in a New
LightWhat Governor Hastings
Mas to Say About the Kequet--W ill
Be Considered Next Week.
At 'Camp John Gibbon. Lewistown,
yesterday afternoon papers were pre
sented to Governor D. 11. Hastings ask
ing him to grant a respite to Joseph
Hoschlno, who will be hanged on Aug.
6 for the murder of Frank Confortl at
Dunmore, unless the governor inter
feres. The papers presented to the governor
were drawir-up by Attorneys Ward anil
Horn and L. P. Wedeman, and were
presented to the governor yesterday by
the latter. The respite is asked to en
able the attorneys to present the case
fully to the board of pardons. It Is
alleged that recent events throw a now
light on much evidence adduced against
Hoschlno at the trial, and that If the
facts In the case as they exist today
can be laid before the pardoning board
it will be moved to act. The Tribune's
staff correspondent at the Lewistown
encampment sends the following con
cerning the application for a-resplte:
Lewistown, Pa., July 23. The applica
tion for Bosclno's respite made to Gover
nor Hastings here this afternoon by At
torney Weilemun, of Scranton. was turned
over by the governor to Attorney General
McCormlck. and Secretary of the Com
monwealth Reader. To The Tribune cor.
respondent Governor Hastings said to
night, when usked about his attitude on
the ease:
"I cannot consider the matter until I
receive the opinions of Attorney General
McCormlck and Oencral Keeder. secretary
of the' commonwealth. Then it will re
ceive my personal attention.' It Is not
likely that a consideration of It will be
made until early next week, when I shall
have resumed offlctul work at Harris
burg." Further thun this the governor declined
to talk about the case. A. T. K. -
