Arranging the Details (or the Big Chris tian Endeavor State Convention. Address to the Citizens. '.Lart night two Important meetings of Christian Endeavor committees were held and transacted business relntlve to the approaching state convention to be held here Oct. 6, 7 and 8. The com mittee of '6, the main executive body, met In the Young1 Men's Christian as sociation building, and the reception committee, which has over 200 mem bers, met in the lecture room of the First Presbyterian church. Other cities have been lavish In their decorations during the convention periods, nnd, that Scranton may be equally emphatic In Its welcome of bunting, the Committee of '90 decided to Issue a public request for generous decorating. The following open letter on the matter was approved: Scranton, Pa., Sept. 17, 18M. To the Ruslness Men und Citizens of Scruntoii. The tenth annual state convention of the Young People's Society of Christian En deavor will be held In Scranton on Tues day. Wednesday und Thursday, Oct. ti, 7 ami 8. It will brin to the city at least 4.0UO visitors. While it will be primarily a religious gathering, still the effect of such u lurse number of delegates In (ho city will be felt in business circles. Scrun ton's welcome should be commensurate with the magnitude of the convention. The committee of "W, the executive com mittee of arrangements, therefore requests that business men fittingly decorate their stores, nnd citizens their homes, to give expression to a cordial welcome to all del egates. The convention colors are to bo red and white, anil there is ulso a special ly designed flag. Hoping that there will be tt generous response to this request for decorating the city, we are, for the com mittee of ', Charles E. Daniels, Chairman, Committee of "X; D. A. Stone, Chairman, Decorating Committee. It was decided to hold the final re convention rally In the Penn AVenue Iiaptist church on Thursday night, Oct. 1. The arranging of a programme was relegated to Rev. V F. Gibbons, Rev. W. II. Stubbleblne and C. E. Daniels. Places for holding- committee confer ences on Wednesday of the convention were designated ns follows: Social, First Presbyterian church; lookout, Second Presbyterian church; prayer meeting, Penn Avenue Iiaptist church; temperance and citizenshp, Grace Re formed Episcopal church. Miss Delia P. Kvans and E. S. Will iams, chairmen of the mammoth recep tion committee, presided over the ses sion of that body. The committee Is one of tho most Important attached to the convention machinery and Is com posed of ten members from each of tho twenty-three societies In the city. Each of these bands of ten Is headed by a lieutenant and the whole Is divided Into four groups representing the central city. West Side, North End and Green Ridge. There are four captains, one for each group. Thus the work of so large a body is carried along without confusion through Its two chairmen, four captains, twenty-three lieutenants ami over 200 members. The reception committee will meet all In-comlng delegations and escort them to designated headquarters In certain churches according to an already es tablished schedule by counties. ILLEGAL PROCEDURE ALLEGED. Artiir Frulliingliaiii Causes the Arrest of a Constable nnd His Landlords. During the absence from the city of Arthur Frothinghnm last week Colonel Meridith L. and W. Gibson Jones, his landlords, proceeded to have him sold out for a rent bill amounting to $500. Deputy Constable E. C. Yeomans, of Alderman Howe's court, distrained his household effects and proceeded early Thursday morning to inake the sale. According to Mr. Frothingham's (statement, tho constable and the land lords went to his house before his fami ly had arisen, entered by unlocking the front dour and in ruinninglng nbout the house and frightened his wife Into hys terics.

DETERMINED AIR OF ATTORNEY WATSON His Opinio Qlves an Inkling of the Turnpike Company's Stand. THEY ARE EVIDENTLY IN EARNEST Willing; to Have a a Amicable Action at Court, bat Repairs to the Road IMust Go oa Undisturbed in the Menntinic-F.xccrpt from the Opin ion I'ndrr Which the Company Is flaking Its Fisht. When the attorneys for city and the Providence and Ablngton Turnpike company met In Alderman Millar's of fice yesterday morning' to war over the arrest of President H. E. Paine and his gang of workmen on the previous day, tt was mutually agreed that the prosecution should be indefinitely post poned and that the differences between the city nnd tho company should be submitted to court in the form of a case stated. S. 13. Price, the city's attorney, also agreed to advise Mr. Kinsley not to further Interfere with the company's workmen, feeling satisfied that the city will win In the long- run, and the com pany will not be able to collect the cost of the repairs from the city. Mr. Watson, attorney for the com pany, said he could not do otherwise than direct his clients to continue the work of repair. In an opinion on this point submitted to the directors on Sept. 8, he said, after reciting the law on the case which holds the company privately responsible for the condition of the road: MR. WATSON'S OPINION. What shall this company do? As I hnve shown the ollleers or tne company are lia ble to bo arrested and Indicted. The only stranne thine to mo is that we are not all of us arrested and under Indictment. Per haps It Is because the traveling public do not know the law. That wo are liable to Indictment nnd have been for weeks and. Indeed, for months Is beyond question, and If 1 were not & member of the company and was compelled to travel over this turnpike nnd pay tolls 1 would have the ollleers of the company Indicted at the next court of Quarter session and I would proceed against the company nnd recover every pennlty provided by statute and thua compel this company to provide a suita ble roadbed, u good road, one that would accommodate the traveling public and comply with the Act of Assembly. Of course, It Is tho duty of the city to put the roud In such repuir, but the Pity, as I have said, refuses or neglects to do t nnd It is therefore the bounden duty of this company to proceed at once to repair that portion of Its rond. The fact thnt certain officials of the city threatened to arrest or enjoin the of ficers of this company If they go upon that portion of Its rond to repair the samo Is of no earthly account. It does not re lease this company of Its duty In any re spect whatsoever nor does the fact that the street commissioner has gone upon that part of the road and shovelled the rubbish out of the ditches und has levelled down the ridge that the city made In the road while constructing a Bfwer therein make any difference In this regard. Nor is the company released, of Its obligation if there nre some places In the road above tho bridge, not In proper condition. CITY HAS DONE NOTHING. The city has done nothing, absolutely nothing, toward repairing this road. It has not fulfilled Its agreement to keep this road In repair any more than If It had never done anything upon it. It is, tlaVefore, my direction, so far os I am authorized by tho company, to di rect that the president of this company proceed without further delay to repair that part of the turnpike from Leggett's creek bridge to Mulley's Corners, and thnt such repairs commence nt Leggett's creek bridge nnd be continued down the line of the road. That coarse stones, so far ns Is necessary, be broken Into the shallow places or hollows until the road shall be of the level provided by the Act of Assem bly and that crushed stones then be placed upon the surface of tlm road until It shall be macadamized and In good con dition ns provided by law and by resolu tion of this company. That the president of the company or some person authorized by him keep an exact and correct account of the time of the employes working upon the road and of nil the expense incurred In repairing the samo and that a sworn statement of the money so expended be rrade.j 1 to the city clerk each month and payment of the same be demanded of the city, and that If the city refuses or neglects to pay the same that suit be instituted and the moneys so expended recovered from the city. 1 will only add that. In my judgment. If the present board of managers of the Providence and Ablngton Turnpike and Plank Roud company tins not the courage to do Its duty In this regard ami carry out the plan herein suggested the board had better resign nt once and permit the stock holders of the company to elect a board that will do Its duty under the law nnd tho decisions of the courts. All of which is respectfully submitted. Mr. Watson also directed a letter to Mr. Paine defining his duties In the premises and telling him he should not be swerved from his duty by the inter ference of any of the city officials. Mr. Paine and his workmen recom menced operations yesterday afternoon. Instead of simply grading: and levelling1 the road they are building a solid and substantial macadam roadbed and In case the city should come out second best in the litigation now on, it will have a bill of repairs of very robust di mensions to meet. RICHARDS-K00NS NUPTIALS. Ceremony Performed in the Chase Residence on t'lny Avenue. The wedding of two of the city's prominent personnges, Mrs. Josephine C. Koons and John T. Richards, took place last night at the home of th- former's brother, E. E. Chase, on Clay avenue. It was a very quiet affair. No form al announcement of the event had been made, and It wns attended by only the Immediate relatives. Mr. Richards and his wife left Scranton early this morning and will Ball for Europe to morrow. Rev. Dr. James McLeod, of the First Presbyterian church, was the officiat ing clergyman. There was no formal ity of any kind. The bride wns attired In a stylish, brown colored traveling suit, nnd the groom was In conven tional business dress. Following the ceremony, which ' took place at 9 o'clock a collation was served. Mr. and Mrs, Richards left here for New York city at 1.40 o'clock this morn ing via the Lackawanna road. They will sail in the Umbrla tomorrow morning, and will be in Europe for about two months. The brido Is a member of the city's most prominent social element. Her splendid executive qualities have caused her to be identified with the management of many semi-public af fairs In the First Presbyterian church, of which she is a member, and in other interests. Few women, her acquaint ances say, could be possessed ' of a cheerier manner or affability and tact than she. These qualities have won for her a large and loyal circle of friends. Mr. Richards Is reputed to be the wealthiest of Scranton's younger and self-made business men. He Is an un defatlgable worker, and to this energy and his aptitude for handling exten sive schemes of finance and business may be attributed his unusual success. He Is an ex-cashler of the Merchants' and Mechanics' bank, one of the exaeu- tors of the large Handley estate, and has extensive real estate and coal In terests. Ho goes to Europe with the other executors of the estate to Investi gate the claims of certain alleged heirs to the Handley millions who reside In Ireland. CONVENTION NEXT TUESDAY.
