Much to Attract Visitors to Weichel & Peck's Wyomiag Avenue Store. "Opening- Pay" took place yesterday at Weichel & Peck's crockery store. 134 Wyoming avenue. A special effort has been made by the firm to display one of the most complete wtocka of its kind In existence, und with commend able success, and the exhibition will continue until Saturday. The. articles which are being especially displayed are lamps, shades, globes, onyx tables and fixtures, but there are many other departments of the large store whose (intents have been arranged In a way that furnishes ample reason for prati lication not only to the proprietors but to the public, which is Invited to call for a visit of inspection. The event Is not a "sale" It is simply an opportunity ufforded to view the best and most artistic In that particular line of busi ness. To describe In detail the lamp stock ulone would require maybe a whole polumn of space in The Tribune. There are bit? lams and little lumps and medium-sized ones and all manner of shades and kIoIh'S of all manner of tints and designs. Stock ordinarily kept ;acked has been opened for In spection. An especially elaborate dis play is that of the popular little royal Servos lamps for Fide tables or casting- a mellow glow over niches and cor ners. Then there axe lumps of royal Ronn, lircsdvn, rookwood, delft, which presents that blended picturing; In blue, anil French fiance, which bum contain moulded figures In Louis XIV and similar styles. With the lumps are shiicli-s of tinted silk, lace, chiffon and other material. Connoisseurs of cut-glass found a rich array of that article of Iibbey manufacture, for which Weichel & Peck are the sole agents In this city. The flna possesses also the sole airency for rookwood ware, that odd nnd re cently developed kind of ware burned In durk-colored figure. The Havl luncl & Co., ami Theodorv llnvlland stock of French ware Is very complete and contains an open stock from which mny be purchased one or a hundred pieces. A new Havllund & Co. pro duct la the "feu de four," or "strong lire," n ware which Is painted, Rlazed and then burned In nil extreme heat until the painting spreads and blends wUli the glossy finish. It is much sought by the fastidious. Some of the other wares and stock are rich Venetian novelties, Jardlneres and pedestals, Louis XIV, plush-lined bric-a-brac, cabinets, crystal vases and semes of other articles found In only the extensive emporiums of large cities. In raru and costly novelties of coal port, Dresden, etc., there Is displayed a large and varied collection. In these the tirm's outlay equals many hund reds of dollurs. ANOTHER OFFER MADE.

FIREMEN WILL NOT GIVE UP THE FIGHT Intend to Make a Slron Effort lo Bring the State Convention Here. 'TWAS SO DECIDED LAST NIGHT A Committee Appoiuted to Secure A. 'J. 4'olborn, Jr., to Name Scranton in the Johnstown Convention. I'nion Was About to Civo I'p the liattle When F. W. Zizlenwn Turned The Tide of Sentiment. The Firemen's union Is going to Johnstown in a body next Sunday and before the week Is over Scranton will have been selected as the place for hold ing the lx:7 convention of the Stale Firemen's association. At least that was the determination arrived at last night at the inceling called to finally decide upon whether an effort would be made to secure tho convention or whether it would be al lowed to so to Wilkes-Uane by de fault. The project of securing the con ventkin, however, came mlghtly near falling through. It was only because of the persuasive eloquence of Isadore Goodman, F. W. Klzlemnnn and one or two others that It was rescued from Immediate death. C. S. Senmans, who resigned ns chairman, was expected to put In an appearance last night and withdraw his resignation, but he didn't. Chief Hickey was nlso still without the breastworks. There were only eleven persons, all told, nt the meeting. The ball committee reported that they had lost money on the Musio hull affair. Report hud reached the union that Wilkcs-Harre was circulating' copies of the Sunday World throughout the state to advertise the dissensions that are c laimed to exist. All these things con spired to subdue the ardor of the little handful of faithful adherents, but they were not to be subdued. Secretary C. M. Zizlemann, after de ploring the fact that the tire depart ment was evincing but little Interest III the movement and the head of the de partment had openly declared he would have nothing to do with It, counseled the abandonment of tho project then nnd there. His motion to that effect was reudily seconded und It looked for a moment ns If the convent'on cam paign was doomed to nn inglorious end intr. NOT RIGHT TO SURRENDER. F W. Zizleman, however, was of another mind and In a stirring Rpeech turned tho tide In favor of continuing the fight. After nil the trouble that the union has gone to, he said. It was not right to surrender. Circulars had been sent out asking other companies to help Scranton. delegates had been Instructed In ninny parts of the state to vote for Scranton, the '!" convention had been virtually promised to Scran ton nt the last session in Reading. All these things taken Into consideration, he could not see how Scranton could gracefully give up the tight now. The handicap of a chief being against them should not discourage them, he said. Chief Hickey was not omnipotent nnd maybe If the truth was known was not a better fireman than many of themselves. The llremen had gotten along without him on former oc casions nnd could, he believed, do Very nicely without him now. Mr. Goodman was the next to speak. The dissensions bad hurt the move ment, he admitted, but not to the ex tent some were led to believe. Phila delphia Is not with Scranton, but that mny possibly be n good thing for Scranton, as the rest of the state Is generally opposed to anything Phila delphia favors, because there Is a feel ing that Philadelphia wants to run tho conventions nnd that tho other cities should combine ngnlnst It. Mr. Sea mans nnd other prominent members who had refused to nlllllate themselves any lunger with the union were not against the movement, but simply withdrew from active membership In the union because they were disgusted with the way things were being enrried on. Scrnnton's chances of winning were still bright nnd he believed In keeping up the battle. WILL GO IN TO WIN. . Ry this time the members of the union had experienced a chnnge of heart and an amendment that A. J. Colborn be engaged to nominate Scran ton nnd that the union go In heart and soul for the '7 convention carried unanimously. A committee consisting of F. W. Zizleman, J. H. Rellly and Isadore Goodman was appointed to wait on Mr. Colborn and extend the union's Invita tion to him to become their champion, and the meeting then adjourned. - - . THAT PRICE STREET ORDINANCE. Secretary Heamish Explains How It All Happened. The ordlnnnce relntlve to the opening of Price street was sent back to the city clerk yesterday without either the mayor's approval or veto. City Clerk Lnvelle, ujKin receiving the measure, subscribed a memorandum declaring thnt the ordinance has become a law by reason of Us having failed to receive consideration from the mayor within the lifteen days' time, which the law allows him for orrlvlng nt a decision.

A GOD GIVHN REMEDY. That Is What Mr. Dunn Termed the Keelcy Cure Daring His Address InJJ College Hall Last Night. Fewer than one hundred persons heard the address in College hall last night of James Dunn, of Lexington, Mass., under the auspices of the Wo men's Keeley league of this city, but the hall would be crowded notwith standing the rainstorm if people had known what Mr. Dunn Is capable of on the platform. He Is Interesting, In fact captivating, not only to those deep ly convinced on the subject he lectures upon; but any person who can derive pleasure from a man who presents his Views In eloquent pictures. Hon. Charles L. Hawley was chair man. Rev. P. J. McManus was on the stage also and after Mr. Dunn con cluded he was introduced and spoke brlelly. Other clergymen present were Itev. P. P. McNally, of the West Side, and Uev. J. J. U. Fceley, Rev. J. . Malone, and Rev. Dominion Landr" of the cathedral. A quartette from the choir t' Grace Lutheran church fur nished music. In his remarks Intro ducing Mr. Dunn, Mr. Hawley said that the domain of medical science has given three wonderful discoveries to the world. The Hrst was vaccination, the second etherization or anaesthesia, and the third, the Keeley cure. Mr. Dunn snld he wanted to settle one thing before going Into his subject. A man told him the other night that the Keeley cure Is too expensive. Mr. Dunn said It cost himself to become a first-class drunkard $250,000, and only $1116 to regain a position where he could again enter decent society. Drunkenness Is admitted to be the cause of nearly all the misery of the world. Total abstinence societies have been doing noble work In opposition to It, but the principle of total abstinence Is directed more to teaching the youth against drunkenness than reclaiming the Inebriate. Alcohol is a poison and the use of It begets the dlseuse of drunkeness. Dr. Keeley, after thirty years of study and research In the scl entlllc Held has discovered a remedy. Mr. Dunn defined the stages by which a man reaches the disease. There are two conditions, alcoholism and dipso mania. Alcoholism is that state where one has an uncontrolled desire to In dulge without any restraint whatso ever in liquor. A dipsomaniac Is one who may be sober for a year, nnd at the end of thnt period find himself driv en by some intanglble.unensy und rest less feeling to get drunk. He stays drunk for a few days or a week, and then quits for another year. He goes on periodical drunks, anil It becomes true that after a few years the intervals between sprees grow shorter, until at last he sinks Into a condition of Inebriety or alcoholism. This Is where the disease exists in its full swivp, nnd where It requires Ir. Keeley's Cod-given 'remedy, as Mr. Dunn called It, to cure. It la a Hod-given cure because It has brought sunlight Into thousands of homes where the desolating ravages of drink had caused countless tears and Immensureable and intense grief ami suffering. Mothers whose boys have been reclaimed from the devour ing lire of drink, wives whose husbands are emancipated from the bonds nnd chains of the liquor habit are so happy that the cause which brought about such a change must be a Ciud-given one. Kven though half the graduates d'o not remain firm, or If three-fourths of them go bnck to the cup, Mr. Dunn asked) If ihe euro is not entitled to rank as n success for doln'g even that much. He has a charming narrative stylo and In the course of his add less gave some very ninusintr descriptions of the experiences he had on some of his drunks. Rev. Father McMnnus was Intro ducedby Mr. Hawley, who said to him that he Is a prominent citizen of the Thirteenth ward and his principles and dally life have earned for him the respect of nil who know him. Father .McManus apologized to Mr. Dunn for the smnll audience, but assured liiin that the Keeley discovery has the con fidence of a larger element of oaplc. When the Saviour was on enrth He healed eleven persons, ten of them beliiff from chosen people, and the one a stranger. ( inly the stranger returned to give thanks. Father McManus predicted thnt the time will come when) the American people wll rise up as a mighty army to destroy the enemy of their homes and happiness and the salvation of their souls. WERE ALL DISCHARGED. Mr. Itcploglc Failed to Make Out a ('use of Conspiracy. The hcnrlns In the case of Attorney D. U. Replogle against Attorneys F. F. Ulbbs and J. II. Bonner, and their dents, William C. Carey and Daniel Mitchell, charged with conspiracy to defraud, took place yesterday before Alderman O. B. Wright. The defendants had Intended to waive a hearing nnd let the matter go to court but on after reflection decided to allow the alderman to pass upon It. The alderman could lind nothing In the case that savored of conspiracy and discharged the defendants. Mr. Replogle's contention, as ex plained yesterday, was that In a suit before Arbitrators concerning a loan of $1,000, which he had negotiated with the Olobe Lodge.IndependentOrder Odd Fellows for William C. Carey, the de fendants of yesterday by n. manufac tured claim of evidence succeeded In beating him. Attorneys Nathan Vldaver and J. E. Ross wifre counsel for the defense. Mr. Replogle argued his own case. MUSEUM MANAGERS, ATTENTION. Strange Actions or Two Men at City Hall Yesterday. Two men, who recently moved to this city and had not ns yet secured resi dence here, went Into the city clerk's ofllco yesterday and asked to be placed among the assessables that they might contributes their share to the city expense account. They said they didn't want to dead head their way in Bitch a fine city. They didn't do It for notoriety, either, as Is attested by the fact that Ihey had their names suppressed.

ITS LAKE ASPHALT THEY WILL LAY Decision of Dunn Brothers with Retard to Moaroe Avenue. LAND ASPHALT IS NOT SO GOOD That It the Opinion ofThomas Dbbb Who Recently Inspected Paremeatt ia Many Other Cities Savs That Thcr Were MisledWill Use the Standard and Take No RUks In tcrview with Thomas Dunn. Monroe avenue will be paved with Trinidad Pitch Lake asphalt. The Dunns have come to the conclusion that this Is the only safe course for them to pursue. In, view of City Engi neer Phillips' refusal to approve of the other kind of asphalt which they had proposed to use. The work will be commenced this morning, after the Dunn's present the city engineer, with a certificate from the Trinidad Asphalt company, that they are furnishing the material for Monroe avenue and that It Is the genuine stuff. Thomas Dunn, when aeon by a Tribune reporter yes terday said: "I have traveled through a good many cities during the pust three, weeks and I myself have come to the conclusion that land asphalt is not as good as the lake material. We therefore propose to use the Pitch Lake asphalt." "Then it was land asphalt you Intend ed to use?" was asked. "Yes; we believed it was equally as good as the lake product and hoped to be able to convince the city engineer to the name effect. N.ow that we have found we were misled as to. the quality of the land usphalt we propose to use tho standard and thereby take no risks." "Cnn you lny luke asphalt for the price you bid?" "We can; but we wlll make nothing on the contract." CAUSE FOR SURPRISE. The surprise of the reporter at the Dunns' conversion will no doubt be shared by all. when it Is remembered that nt Mondny night's meeting of Mul berry street property holders the senti ment was almost unanimous for land asphalt. This Is a $00,000 job, and by pthelr confession, the Dunns' virtually leave the Held free for the Barber peo ple as It Is not likely the Dunns' can comiwte with the Barber company In laying Pitch Lake asphalt, although they say they will put In a bid. City Engineer Phillips will now most likely remove his Interdict and allow tho Monroe avenue paving to proceed with his approval. The concrete and binder, which are already down, have have been laid according to specifica tions. No asphalt has been used as yet, the material entering into the compo sition of the binder being pitch and not nsphalt as many were led to suppose. It was only In the matter of asphalt that there was any misunderstanding. The specifications called for "Trinidad Pitch Lake asphalt or asphalt proven equally as good." Dunn Bros, on a bid of $2.23 per square yard as against the Barbers' $2.58, secured the contract and when the time for beginning the work arrived, submitted a sample of the ma terial which they proposed to use. They did not say thnt It was Trinidad Pitch Lake nsnhnlt, nor would they say Just what It was, except that It was equally as good ns the Trinidad lake material and "beUer than the Barber people were using." STATEMENTS DISPUTED. The city engineer disputed both these statements nnd after consulting experts In New York, Philadelphia and Wash ington became firmly convinced that the Dunn material was not of the standard required and refused to ap prove It. Despite this and the fact that the specifications, the contract and the ordinance clearly state that no ma terial shall be put down which has not y.

SIEBECKER & VATKINS, Lackawanna Avenue. Opposite Wyoming House- first received the approval of the otty engineer, "whose opinion shall be final" the Dunns' resolved to go ahead with the work, lay their land asphalt and trust for their pay to their ability to convince court that the city engineer and the experts didn't know their busi ness when they declared the Dunn ma terial to be not equally as good as the Trinidad Pitch Lake asphalt. The city engineer's stolid front and letters to the mayor from property hold era averring that they would not pay their assessments it the Dunns' were permitted to lay the disapproved as phalt, or some other consideration caused the Dunns' to change their mind and now they have determined at the last moment that they will use the standard material, such as the Darber people bid on and such as the specifica tions particularly mention.
