Rowing Association by Unanimous Vote
Decides to LiveNew Officers
That Were Chosen.
By ttr. unanimous vote the Scra.nton
ltowlng association, at nn enthusiastic
meeting held lust night, decided to con
tinue the club's existence. Of late,
owing to the drafts innde on the mem
bership by the other social organiza
tions nnd a lack of Interest In the club's
welfare, on the part of the remaining
members the ussoclntion lias been slow
ly declining and was thought by the
directorate to be surely doomed to dis
solution. With this belief llrmly
ground the directors called a meeting
last night to wind up the affairs of the
association. Nearly every member vlio
was In the city responded to the call
and when they got 'together und saw
their strength and the manifested
awakening of enthusiasm they decided
to live on and by nn unanimous vote
defeated a niotluu to dissolve the club.
It was decided also to place the reins
of uovernment In news 'hands and no
cordlngly the following new oillcers
weie chosen: President, M. W. Lowry;
llrst vice president, V. J. Welsh; sec
ond vice president, George M. AVntson;
secretary, Charles B. Penman; treas
urer, Andrew P. Bedford; financial sec
retary, Hubert 11. Penman; mnnnger,
Frederick Connell.
The ltowlng association is tho oldest
social organization in Scrnnton. It has
been in existence twenty-four years
and has always held a high place in the
social' scale, numbering among Its
members the qream of the business and
professional element. At present it has
sixty members. It is proposed to In
crease Hint 'number to about 100 and
make it the popular business and pro
fessional men's club.
After last night's meeting theie was
an entertainment by Ausbach, tlie ma
gician, and a supper.

grand jollification just before the Len
ten su'okeloth and ashes tire taken on.
Last night's event was one of tho
most successful that the LlederkraiiH
has conducted In many yenrs, both In
point of attendance and the excellence
or the entertainment purveyed by the
Klelne Hath, by which title the com
mittee ol' arrangements is designated.
Tlie hall was one mass of bunting, Hags,
and banners and everybody wore some
gaudy badge of tlie festlvul the men
u mild colored fool's enp, with bells,
and the ladles, a fancy rosette and rib
bons. The Klelne Hatn sat at a long table
on tlie stngo with the president of the
carnival In the center. The Jiresldent
wore evening dress, with tlie Inevitable
fool's cap, but all the.1 rest were in
fancy costume representing various
characters now foremost in the mind
of the public.
SOCIETIES THAT ATTENDED.
The other revellers sat at six tables
exlndlng the entire length of the
room about which skipped u merry
corps of wallers who saw to it that
no one would go away saying it hnd
been a dry evening. The Schlaiallla,
SaengeiTiindo, Arlon, Gruttll Veleln
and Turners or Scranton, and tlie Lled
erkrnnz, of llonesdale, occupied one or
tlie other of tlie tables.
The programme opened with the en
trance of the first detachment of the
Klelne Bath dressed to represent Span
ish olllco! s, General Weyler leading the
way on a prancing hobby horse. To
the air of an old German polka, they
mounted the static and proceeded to
tell how they would do dire things to
the Cubans, General Weyler, of course,
doing all the talking. In the midst of
their blagging in comes the second por
tion of the Klelne Hath, attired as Cu
ban insurgents and under the leader
ship of General Gomez attack the
Spanish forces. While the turmoil of
battle Is at its height, the piesldent uf
the carvlnnl, Frank lluinmler, comes
in and lemluds them that this is tlie
night ol' the Liedorkruna carnival.
They cease their strire at once, don
fool's caps and proceed to make merry.
Then comes the nonsense. Topical
songs written for tlie occasion contain
ing timely hits on local happenings and
on tlie members of tlie society are sung
In concert. Tlie jesters, Charles Wen
zel and Herman Landau, are dis
patched to bring the various perform
ers to the stage and escort them back
to their seats when they have finished
their little say, everybody standing
and clapping hands while the perform
er Is being matched about tlie hall.
E. Moses read the mlnules of the Inst
carnival nnd a sketch of the happenings
in Hie interim. Fritz Hummler repre
sents a sen ant girl In the Allen house,
llonesdale, and told some of the go
ings on there when tlie Llederkranz
went to the Maple City last summer.
He made a big hit when he caine out on
tin- cunopy-covi red balcony from which
tlie speaking was done and In surprised
tones said, as ho looked about at the
members silling Willi their wives, "You
all told me you weie single, when you
were over in llonesdale. '
KUUPUISE OF THE EVENING.
The. big surptlse of the evening was
the appearance of Herr Frlederleh, tlie
Llcderkranz'.s popular wit and well
known zither player. He left here about
two yenis ago for Johannesberg. Africa,
but took sick and became stranded. A
purse was gotten up among the mem
bers to bilng him home, the members
gladly contributing, out of their fra
ternal charity and the desire to have
back with them once again their be
loved jester. Filederleh arrived hero a
few days ago but his home coming was
known only to tlie members of the
KUIne Bath and they kept it a pro
found secret In order to give tlie car
nival a grand and pleasant surprise.
At 10.15 President Hummler reud.u
telegram from Heir Frlederleh an
nounclng that he hail arrived on the
Luciuuu and would be witli them at
quarter past ten. "All heie ho is now"
exclaimed the president and at the
ramo instant the Jesters entered from
the tear of the hall escorting a man
that looked very much like Frloderich
but which however was "-not he. No
body, not in the secret, exported to sen
the real Frlederleh, ao no onu was dis
appointed. When the pseudo Friedurich however
etitvicil the Imlcony the stirtirlse came.
The iiii,1 Filedeiich hnU been secreted
there and liiptend of his prototype lie
himself nppturud and waved his hand
KUlb tu the astonished audience. Pome
of them did not delect tho fact that the
real Frlederleh had been substituted
(or the counterfeit on the way through
the wlnss to the balcony and for a Iouk
time were nuzzled to know whether or
not they had not better cttilt the ear
nlvnl rlKht there nnd then. When the
musical voice ut the Jolly little wit was
heard however nil doubts were set
nsldo nnd ho wns given an ovation
that fairly shook the bulldlne;.
The Klelne Until was composed of
FianU Hummlcr, Charles Nlcr, Fred
ttummler, Vied ,1. Wldnmyer, Charles

Coroner Longstreet was notified and af
ter an autopsy corroborated Dr. Kolb's
verdict.
Cuby was III years or ago and mar

INSURANCE FUND
NOT LARGE ENOUGH
Alayor Bailey Will Surest That the
Amount Nnw Cnrrti la VoAnrm)
BALANCE DUE FOR PRESENT YEAR
No Provision Pilule by the Kstiuintus
Committee, to Pay tho llcllclcncy
Nor litis a Sulllciout Amount Itccn
A ti pro priu ted to I'ny tliu Premiums
for the Fiscal Veur lH!)T--Auioiinl
Cuirlcd on I'iro Department Prop
erty illny Id: Cut Down.
Mayor Bnlley is in a qunndnry about
the Insurance on city propeitles which
must lie renewed on or before Thursday.
On that day the policies on all of the
city's piopeity Vif all kind expire and as
the amount of money appropriated by
the estimates committee for the fiscal
year 1X07 Is insulllclent to pay tlie pre
miums tht l o Is a strong probability
that the amount of insurance will have
to be cut down.
For the llscnl year lS'Jfi the councils
appropriated $1,000 to pay the Insurance
premiums which amounted altogether
to about $1,300. There Is a balance still
due by the city on these policies of
fibout $300, which the estimates com
mittee tu preparing the appropriation
oidluance for the llscal year ISO" did
noUmuUe tiny provisions to pay. It al
lowed $1,000 for Insurance, the (.one us
last year. This year the olty will have
to place Insurance on the new Nay Aug
Engine house and some other lire
department property acquired during
the year.
As councils will not appropriate
money enough tu carry the amount of
Insurance now on the city's policies the
mayor will' probably send a'coinmunl
catlon to council Thursday night set
ting forth the situation and suggest
ing that the amount of Insurance car
ried by the olty be decreased. He be
lieves thut the amount placed on the
lire department houses, apparatus, etc..
can be decreased considerably without
the city running any great risk of sus
taining loss.
In all of tlie lire department houses
of the city permanent- men are now con-
stanly on duty which gieutly reduces
the possibility of a damaging ili'e in
thcRe buildings. If there must be a cm
in the amount of Insurance carried, tis
now seems probablei the mayor be
lieves that the lire department Is u
good place to begin to make the reduc
tion. In tliu meantime the deficiency
from the present fiscal year is unpro
vided for. '
FIVE MORE REMONSTRANCES.
I 11 11 Avenue lluptist Church Object
to Hotels in Thai Neighborhood.
The olllclal board of the Penn Ave
nue llaptlst church acting for the con
gregation hns filed remonstrances
against the granting of liquor licenses
to John C. Weicliel, whose wholesale
liquor store Is located next door to the
church nnd within a few feet of It;
Fiank. M. Amsbry, whose hotel is in
the Wejchel building and separated
from It only by" a partition; Michael
Bannon, whose hotel is diagonally
across from the church, on the corner
of Penn avenue nnd Linden stieet,
and Christ Gomerrlnger, whose hotel
Is at 2u.". Penn nvenuc, nlmost opposite
the church.
The remonstrance declares that these
places are all unnecessary; that they
are injurious to the neighborhood and
the peace and welfare of the people
who worship in the church. Partlculai
complaint is made against the Weicliel
place on acocunt of its close proximity
to the church and thu manner in which
the business Is conducted. The remon
strances were slimed and sworn to by
Attorney II. M. Streeter, secretniy of
the advisory board of the church. This
Is the flint time that the church as an
organization has objected formally tu
the grunting of licenses to saloons in
thut neighborhood, although the prom
inent members of the congregation, In
dividually, have frequently opposed the
granting 'of licenses.
