AGAINST BREWERS
Will Oo Into Effect One Week from
Today."
RETAIL DEALERS ARE IN EARNEST
Determined That the Breweries Shall
Help Thdm in Their Fight Against
the Speak EasiesE. llobinson's
Sons the Only Local Brewery to
Escape the BoycottVhnt the
Brewers Say.
The predicted boycott against the
brewers has been declared. Every
brewing- company doing business In the
city with the exception of five has been
proscribed and the E. Robinson's sons
company la the only one of the big
local breweries to escape the ban.
The edict was Issued yesterday af
ternoon at a meeting- of the Retail
Liquor Dealers Association, of Lacka
wanna county. The meeting was held
In Betzhold'8 hotel, Penn avenue, and
was attended by representatives of
nearly every town of any Importance
in the county. The resolution con
taining the declaration of boycott
reads as follows:
At a meeting of the Retail Liquor Deal
ers association or Lackawanna county
held at Betzhold's hotel, August 14, it
was unanimously adopted that on and
after Friday, August 21, we buy our nle
and lager from tho following brewers
only: K. Roblnsln's Sons. H. R. Huglies,
Pittston; Danville Brewing company, F.
Harick. representing the Uallentlno
Brewing company of Newark; C. K. UueU-
en-berger Hunesdale.
BEGINS NEXT FRIDAY.
The boycott does not begin until next
Friday although some of the delegates
to the meeting wanted to have it take
effect immediately, arguing that the
brewers had already been given a
week's warning and they should not be
parleyed with any longer. Out of con
sideration for two or three of the out-
of-town 'brewing companies, which
asked for an extension of time in which
to make their decision the convention
resolved to declare the boycott and
date It a week ahead.
The boycott is the result of tho re-
tall dealers effort to cut off the supply
to the unlicensed places. They sent
circulars to the different brewers In the
county Informing them that they must
chose between supplying speak easies
and licensed places, and gave them un
til Friday, August 7. to come to a de
cision. Only a few of the brewers paid
any heed to the circular so at the meet
ing one week ago yesterday it was
decided to boycott every brewery that
would send In a notice of compliance
by yesterday. Yesterday came and the
majority of the breweries still stood
out against the retailers threat.
WOULD MOVE TIME.
Two or three smaller concerns, one of
them the Dickson City Brewing com
pany, sent on a request for more time
and this alone prevented the boycott
from being set for today. ' It was evl
dently the intention of the local brew
ers, who have not yet complied, to
make a fight against ( e retailers at
tempt at dictation. They make the
claim that the association has no right
to use them as tools In their fight
against the speak easies and further
declare that they cannot afford to lose
the trade of the speak easies.
The retailers claim to have 400 mem
bers In their association in this coun
ty and that they are all sworn to stand
together in the fight. They say they
will enforce compliance with, their
mandate no matter what the result
may be to the boycotted brewers.

HONOR
The Great Presbyterian, Rev. Charles L
Thompson, D. D., of New York.
Some of the Police Pickl:ps Daring
the Past Twenty-four Hours..
Two local vagrants, Dan O'Boyle and
Charles Carey, were sunning themselves
on upper Lackawanna avenue yester
day afternoon when somebody, through
accident or design, likely the latter,
threw a bucket of water on them from
an upper window. The bath spoiled a
record tht-y were trying to make and
they were therefore much wroth, so
mu'-h so that they used language that
was not very, choice and which resulted
In their being arrested, parties In the
Merchants' and Mechanics' bank tele
phoning a complaint to headquarters.
The tramp who frightened the wading
maidens at Nay Aug park, was yester
day sent up for thirty days. He gave
his name as James Murphy and claimed
this city ns his residence.
Mrs. Richardson, the demented wo
man living at the corner of Main street
and Nay Aug avenue, who has on sev
eral occasions been visited by the police
because of her noisy carryings on, was
yesterday again arrested for throwing
stones at her. neighbors and persons
passing by her house.. She will prob
ably be sent to Hillside Home this time.
What Palme's
the
;lery Compound Has Done for
Eloquent Preacher.
From no one class of men has Palne's
celery compound received more un
stinted praise for its wonderful powers
of making the sick to be well again
than from ministers of the gospel In
every denomination
Rev. Father Ouellet, Rev. Dr. Meek,
the editor of the "Central Methodist,"
Rev. Dr. Boird. Rev. W. J. White, D.
D., of the Georgia Baptist) are among
the host of the clergymen who have
gratefully published, that their ex
perience might be of benefit to others,
the ever true story of how this greatest
of all remedies make people well, build
ing up the shattered nerves, enriching
the thin blood and rooting out disease.
Rev. Charles L. Thompson, D. D.,
pastor of the Madison Avenue Presby
terian church In New York city, Is a
man crowned with honor. Before going
to the celebrated church where he now
preaches In New York he served In
prominent pulpits in Cincinnati. Chi
cago, Pittsburg and Kansas City. He
has written much and well on themes
of public Interest, presided over tho
Centennial Oeneral Asembly in Phila
delphia, and has been often a com-
mislsoner and. chairman of leading
commltteeee, and an exceptionally for
cible debater in all the church courts.
His large charity has made him a
welcome: representative of his church
to other churches and to his brethren
of other lands.
Dr. Thompson Is a prodigious worker.
He Is one of the many thousands who
have discovered what Paine's celery
compound does for those who are worn
out by labor, who are suffering from
some stage of nervous exhaustion, and
who require a health giving remedy
that wll speedily replenish the system,
with proper nutriment.
Writing from New York.' June 23,
Dr. Thompson said:
"I think to the use of Palne's celery
compound is due the fact that after
a winter of exhausting work I have
been able to carry my duties through
the enervating springtime with unusual
ease and comfort."
To the multitude who suffer from the
enervating effects of the warm weather
in this climate, this plain, straightfor
ward statement from so eminent nnd
fearless a clergyman should be heeded.
Palne's celery compound has put an
end to an enormous amount of sickness
and disease.
It began at the very outset of Its
splendid career to cure men and women
of kidney troubles, liver complaint nnd
nervous prostration. Its speedy and
lasting cures of all these nerve and
blood disorders were not slow In
spreading its reputation through every
stale In the country. Physicians every
where greeted the great remedy as the
most enlightened, most skillful means
that could be employed for Invigorating
the "run down" system.
. Thousands of wholly disinterested
men and women saw their neighbors
and townspeople, made well by Palne's
celery compound.
'this epoch-making discovery In
medicine, due to the pn'tlenre.
inorougnness and zcnl if the great
jwrtimmtn College scientist, stunds to
day unquestioned as the greatest brain
an nerve strengthener and restorer the
world possesses.
SCRANT0NIANS IN A FIRE.
Did Not Lose Any of Their Effects in
the Mauhnnnsett House Fire.
The Srrantonians stopping at the
Manhannsett house,' Shelter Island,
which Was nearly consumed by fire
Thursday morning, did not lose any
of their effects. Their rooms were lo
cated In the left annex. The blazo
started In the other wing.
Colonel and Mrs. Boles returned to
Scranton yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. IS.
L. Fuller went to New London and
the Misses Jenny n to New York city.
They had plenty of time to have their
baggage removed, though big prices
had to be paid hotel employes and
others for doing the work. Five dol
lars per trunk was the average fee.
Colonel Boles, after studying the pro
gress of the flames, is reported to have
returned to his room and shaved him
self, paying no heed to the excitement
going on around him.
The wing In which the Scranton
people had their apartments was final
ly Baved by blowing up with powder
a portion of the main structure.
WILL WAIT TWO WEEKS.
If the Cement Is Not Set Then, It
Never Will Set.
A test of the concrete which the
Barber Asphalt company Is using In
repairing Lackawanna avenue - was
made at another point farther down
the street yesterday and the same con
dition of affairs was found to exist.
The cement had not set and the con
crete could be dug up with the hand.
Street Commissioner Kinsley said he
would wait for two weeks and If the
cement Is not set by that time he will
condemn the iwhole Job.
The asphalt people say that the ma
terial used Is not of an Inferior qual
ity, as Is alleged by the street com
missioner, but that the cement Is of
the slow-setting variety and In a short
time the concrete will be In perfect
condition.
HE DID NOT GET THE SALTS.
Instead Prof. White Says He Was
tiiven Nitrate of Potash.
The declaration In the suit of Pro
fessor James H. White of Archbald
against Anthony Ktnback of the same
place was filed yesterday by Attorneys
O'Brien and Kelly with Prothomotary
Pryor.
It sets forth that Mr. Klnback kept
a drug store in Archbald, and on May
23, 1894, Mr. White went there to pur
chase some epsom salts. Instead of
salts the drug clerk .sold him nitrate
of potashi the plaintiff avers. He took
the potash, believing It to be salts, and
he declares that as. a result his eyes
and sight and nervous system received
such a shock that he never fully re
covered from It. He was unable to
attend to his usual business and is
permanently Injured. Ho claims $10,
000 damages.
