Major T. F. Penman made a motion
that the committee be requested to
arrange ' If practicable an overflow
meeting. There will undoubtedly lie
more applying for admission than the
theatre can hold, and it was suggested
that, perhaps, the speakers might come
out in the open air. say on the steps
of the court house, or the Frothinghnm
portico. There will be no tickets
needed to secure ntimission 10 me meet
ing: all that n person need do Is go

such a good and faithful representative
that none but a first -class man should
be appointed to fill his place. Such a
man is Major J. H. Fish, whose life

But Every Earnest Republican Who
( nn Ought to Go to Canton.
The local free silver organ Intimates
thnt the only way to get a crowd to
ge to Canton from this community is to
furnish free tickets. Well, there will
be no free tickets for the excursion
which will leave Scrunton for Canton
next Friday evening; and It remains to
be seen whether there Is enough en
thusiasm among the Republicans of
Scranton at $6.75 apiece to supply a
representative attendance.
A good way to reply to the Jibe of the
TinS s Is for every earnest Republican
to arrange to make the trip. It will be
a trip worth taking.

' A Perfect Reception System Has
Been Devised Opening Sessions
of Convention Tonight
The big state convention of Christian
Endeavor societies is on; yesterday up
into the night suiw the opening, the
hint, and today will see the beginning.
Hefore nightfall many thousand wear
ers of the red utul white, the convention
colors, will be everywhere. Some will
be walking, some singing, some gath
ering, some iblintr. but the young wo
men and the young men who represent
Rev. J. T. M'CRORY, D. D.,
of Pittsburg, the Christian Endeavor
State Preside'
the biggest and most powerrul non-sectarian
religious organization in the
world In the strongest Endeavor state
In the country will be everywhere.
Last night were held the Until com
mittee meetings uml rehearsals and to
day the local Endoivvorers will lie busy
welcoming and gruidlng the squads of
the incoming host until curly tomorrow
morning.
Scranton has prepared Itself for ex
tending a hearty welcome and giving
royal entertainment to the visitors to
this tenth annual convention. The bus
iness buildings are bedecked in masses
of color, the tluK". the bunting und the
banners silently bidding "enter" and
Haunting and waving with the seeming
knowledge that the executive officers
and the coniinitti'i'S will do the rest.
There Is not a block In the commercial
section that does not contain several
decorated buildings, while along the
residence streets there Is here and there
a Hug or a piece of red and wiiite bunt
ing, each a silent but forceful wel
comer. The churches wherein will be
contained the hetnlquutters of county
lel"gutior.s are, without exception, ela
borately trimmed.
The decorating, however, has been
most generously displayed in the three
places of meeting. The interior of each
has been beuutltloil by u florist, and the
flowers, green growth, Hags und bunt
ing will with tin? already inviting In
teriors extend a rare cheer to the dele
gates. PRESIDENT irCTiOflY ARRIVES.
The Calvary uml Plymouth church
sections of the general reception com
mittee nnd the four cuptuins and nearly
a score of lieutenants marched from
the Young Men's Christian Association
building shortly before V o'clock last
night and mot Rev. Or. J. T. McCrory,
the state president: Secretary Ueorge
MeOoimld. of Altoonn. and about fif
teen delegates from the western part of
the state, who arrived together on the
y.o'i lielawure ami Hudson train. There
were about thirty-five or forty white
cupped young moil and women In the
receiving party nnd they sang the otil
clal reception song, which is reproduced
in another column, as the state otllcers
ami delegates alighted from the train.
Or. McCrory and Secretary McDon
ald were escorted to the Hotel Jermyn,
headquarters of tli state officers, while
the delegates were taken to the Penn
Avenue Ituptlst church. These were the
onlv delegates formally welcomed lust
night.
Today, however, will be the big day
for receiving the delegates. At first
thought It would seem almost impos
sible to meet 4,0oo strangers within
fourteen or sixteen hours, guide them,
according to counties, to headquarters
already provided for them, register
their names, equip them with budges
and programmes and then show them
tn the private houses or hotels where
quarters have 1oen engaged. Itut that
same will be dime and without confus
ion, too.
A FERFECT OIIOANIZATION.
Already the officers of the reception
committee, which numbers 250 mem

CHURCH IS REOPENED.
Extensive Improvements Made About
the German M. E. Property.
Sunday the German Methodist Epis
copal church ut Adams avenue and
Vine street was reopened for divine
service. During the summer It was re
decorated and renovated and is now
one of the most inviting church build
ings in the city. The Interior has been
re-decorated by Artists Ruldwln and
Dahelsteln. of I'tica, N. Y., who per
formed their work with an eye to truly
artistic effects. The color of the car
pets, cushions, etc.. is in harmony with
the general scheme of decoration.
They were furnished by Slebecker &
Watkins.
A new slate roof has been placed on
the church and the grounds about the
building have been Improved by an
iron fence, the relaying of the walks
and resodlng of the lawn. The im
provements are due largely to the en
ergy of the pastor, the total cost of
which were about $l,Suo.
On Sunday the sermon in the morn
ing was delivered by Rev. J. J. Mess
nier, of Newark, N. J., presiding elder
of the Philadelphia district, and in the
evening by Rev. A. F. Strueter, D. D.,
of New York.
FIRE IN A PLANING MILL.
Timely Discovery Prevents What
Might Have llecu a Cosily llluzc.
Last night's Tire, which occasioned an
alarm from box 74 at 10.30 o'clock, was
in the Peck Lumber company's plun
Ing mUl, on East Market street. "
The mill was working late last night
and It is supposed that u spark from
an emery wheel dropped through a
crack In the Hour and set lire to the
shavings beneath. It smoldered until
after the men had left and soon after
broke out In a blaze. Luckily it was
discovered before much headway was
gained and was extinguished with the
chemical extinguishers carried by the
Liberty Hose company. The damage
wus slight.

WHEN WILL THAT
PAVEMENT BE LAID
Mulberry Street Residents Want Many
Things Incorporated la Ordinance.
ALL OF WHICH MEANS GREAT DELAY
There Ts No LTItlihood from Present
Indications That Mulberry Street
Will Be Paved This YearSome of
the Things That the Property
Owners Are Aking For with Itefer
ence to the Preliminaries
There Is little likelihood of Mulberry
street being paved this winter. The
property holders, who ure taking an In
terest in the puve such as no set of
property holders ever before evinced In
uny Improvement, have determined up
on so many and such important
changes in the plans submitted by the
city engineer that the cold weather will
be here before the necessary legisla
tion can be passed and this will pre
clude the possibility of starting the
work before springtime.
A committee consisting of George H.
JessUp and E. 'A. Netting, acting for
the property holders, waited on City
Clerk Luvelle yesterday for the pur
pose of learning something as to the
method of procedure in securing the
amendments they have in mind. First
of all, they propose, at Thursday
night's meeting of common council, to
Introduce the necessary legislation, for
the narrowing of the entire roadway
from Mifllin avenue to Tuylor avenue.
CHANGE OF PLAN.
A resolution will, also, most likely be
introduced, directing the city clerk to
refrain from advertising the schedule
of assessments. This Is with a view of
changing the entire plan of assessing.
At present the assessment Is made ac
cording to the foot front rule, the cost
of the whole street being divided
among the property holders according
to the number of feet of property they
have abuttltng on the street. It Is
now proposed to assess each block sep
arately. .
Property holders who have street car
(racks In front of their houses feel thut
they are entitled to the full benefit of
the rebate which comes from the Trac
tion company paying for the paving be
tween the lulls, and are not willing to
share this benefit with people on other
blocks who have not the "annoyance"
of street cars and street car tracks.
Another reason Is that the owners of
corner lots, who have paid for paving
on one side of their properties and con
tributed to the paving of the street In
tersection, believe they should not be
called upon to help pay for other street
Intersections and are consequently
making a vigorous kick, which will
have to be heeded.
IT WILL BE TOO LATE.
Ry the time all these matters are set
tled upon and Incorporated In the specl
tlcutlons and the amended ordinance
goes through the gauntlet of councils
the season for laying concrete will
doubtlessly be passed and the paving
will have to go over until spring.
Another feature of this paving con
tract Is that church properties have not
been exempted from the assessment. In
making out the schedule, City Engineer
Phillips wus in doubt us to the meaning
or the recent supreme court decision on
tills matter and asked an opinion from
City Solicitor Torrey. Mr. Torrey stated
the supreme court liad ruled that church
property was only exempt from regular

is expected, make no exception in this
instance. .
