In this country, died ut U.RO o'clock

tor a slsler of the wife of the depart
ed clergyman. It was quickly circu
lated among the deceased's host of
friends in this city and a general sad
ness and surprise was created.
Tlie dispatches did not give the
cause of death, and no further Infor
mation has been lecelved up to a late
hour Inst night. The demise, however,
must have been a. sudden one, ns a let
ter received .Monday from Mrs. Evans
by her father, Henjamln Hughes, gen
eral inside foreman of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company,
did not tefer to any Illness 111 the fami
ly. Mr. Hughes, accompanied by his
dnughler, .Mrs. A. 15. Kynon. and Mr.
and Mis. Jenktn Heese will leave this
morning for Westerly to attend the fu
neral. SKETCH OF DECEASED.
John 15 vans was born In Llnndyfry,
Carniai thenshlre, In 1S41, and was one
of four brothers who distinguished
themselves ns theologians and pulpit
orators. He enmo to America shortly
before the civil war and his first minis
terial charge was in Lancaster, Pa.
Afterward he came to Scranton and '
shortly after his' marriage to Esther,
daughter of nenjamln Hughes, In 1SCT,
he became pastor of the First "'elsh
Baptist church. Ills work here won
him the love and admiration of a vast
number of people In the Lackawanna
und Wyoming valleys. Ills fame
spread and he wns successively called
to pastorates of churches In Hrooklyn,
where his eldest daughter, Nellie, was
married to Dr. Hoxle, a prominent phy
sician of that city; and to Westerly,
where he has been stationed for the
past seventeen years.
Uesides his work in tho - pulpit Sir.
Evans devoted much time to contem
porary public affairs and his eplgrn
matlc and humorous essays and ora
tions won for him a widespread fame.
Especially was he Interested In his fel
low countrymen.
AS A WELSH SCHOI.Alt.
Though American customs and the
peculiarities of American living
claimed hint yet he never forgot the
motherland und as a speaker of the
Welsh tongue he was an authority.
No local conference of Welsh ministers
or a "cyinnmfn," ns it is called, had the
genuine spirited ring to It unless one
or the other of the distinguished broth
ers were there.
His zeal was Intense. During his
labors he made hosts of friends and
every one refers to pun lnmiiiariy as
John Evans. Only last September he
paid a visit to Scranton and thousands
of people henid him preach at the First
Welsh Haptlst church. His death will
be a surprise not only because he was
not known to be 111, but for the reason
that l!ev. Fred Evans, his dis
tinguished brother, Is 'suffering from a
fatal malady In Wales and the an
nouncement of his death is dally ex
pected. The deceased Is survived by his wife,
three daughters, Mrs. Hoxle,, of Hrook
lyn; May and Esther Evans, and one
son, Henjninin Hughes Evans. A pic
ture of Mr. Evans, as he appeared In
earlier years, Is herewith presented.
Henjamln Hughes, fother-in-lnw of
me oeceaseo, mis inu recently recov
ered from painful Injuries received by
the runaway of his horse. Hecnuse of
Mr. Hughes' misfortune no telegram
from his relatives at Westeily telling
of the demise was received by him
and it wns several hours afterward
that ho first heard of it fiom his daugh
ter, Mrs. Hynon. Fortunately he has
recovered from his injuries us to be
able to uttend the funeral.

The lecture on "Snails" given last
evening at Young Women's Christian

sociation. The Inclement weather
caitKed 11 small attendance but those
who were present thoroughly enjoyed
Mr. Wheeler's talk.
He exhibited over eighty specimens
of snails and In his discussion Mr.
Wheeler showed a remarkable knowl

WEBB'S PATHETIC LETTER
Says His Wife Had Him Committed to
County Jail to Q:t Him Out of
the Way.
Mrs. Duggan, agent for the Hoard of
Associated Charities, has received 11
letter from an liunuto of the county
jail which Is a pathetic appeal for re
lease on the grounds of 1111 unjust Im
prisonment. The prisoner Is Fredeilck
Webb,, whose home was In Olyphant,
and he was Incaieerated on January
1 to await trial for wife desertion.
In his letter to Mrs. Duggan the pris
oner says that he Is in Jail for the ren
fc.011 that his wife wanted to get him out
of the way "so that she can run around
with other men." Webb says that he
left home for live nlghts'ln succession,
on this was based the charge of deser
tion. The reason that he left home,
however, said Mr. Webb, was because
bis wife thieateued to poison him. The
letter goes on to say that Mrs. Webb
is a frequenter of several hotels In this
city, the names of which he mentions
In his letter. He fears that his 12-year-old
daughter will be "led astray" by
the mother's actions and he begs to be
released so that he muy care for her
and his two other children.
He says that he has always support
ed his iamlly and the store book will
show that his wife got $"0 or $35 worth
of goods every mouth for years past.
He prays that Mrs. Duggan will take
his case befoie the court so that he
may be released. He also asks for the
arrest of bin wife. The letter closes
with diiectlons where Mrs. Duggan
can llnd his wife In Olyphant, and it is
signed "Fredeilck Webb."
The letter was sent to Mrs. Duggan
yesteidny and was read last night In
the poor board rooms, where a few
members of the Hoard of Associated
Charities, though not enough to make
n quorum, met In an ex-olllcio way.
13. J. Lynett read the letter. Mrs.
Duggan was advised to secure a writ
of habeas corpus and secure Webb's
Immediate release.

ASPHALT QUESTION
IS ALL IN A MUSS
Select Council Committee Smothered In

Last night's meeting of the pavement
committee of select council, attended
by a large number of property owners,
developed that the Harbor company
and Dunn Hros. are determined to de
feat the effort to award to the Colum
bia Construction company, of Syracuse,
the contract for paving Mulberry
street. It was the liveliest of the many
meetings of various kinds on the pave
ment question.
The charge wns openly made by P. J.
Quliilan, the Columbia agent, that he
had seen the contract papers between
the limber company and Dunn Hros.
whereby the foimer was to have bid
2 cents per square yuid lower on the
Mulbeiry eunliuct, und that Dunn
Pros, were tu receive a similar advan
tage In the next subsequent contract.
Mr. (Julnlan said that he would make
ulllduvit to his statement If necessury.
.Mr. Hock, ol New York city, general
agent of the Harber company, retal
iated by exclaiming In an aside which
was not heard by all In the room,
"Yes, and your attorney tried to make
the same kind of un arrangement
with us, too." These sub-rosa deals,
however, were overlooked by the com
mittee and property owners. It was
not cared who did the work or how, as
long as It was according to contiact
and speclllcatlons; at least the little
digs of the rival agents caused no dis
cussion.
MANLEY WANTED TO ADJOUUN.
The meeting was held In select coun
cil chambers. Mr. Wagner, chairman
uf the committee, pieslded. The other
members ptesent were Messrs. Thomas,
Lansing, Munley and Itoche. Mr. Mau
ley urged an adjournment because City
Engineer Phillips was not present,
common council's award having been
referred to the committee "In conjunc
tion with the city engineer." Mr.
Mauley's wish was quickly negatived.
Others present were ex-City Sollcltur
I. H. Hums, who appeared as tlie rep
lesentatlve of Dunn Hros.: Thomas
Dunn, Select Councllmcn Fellows and
Chittenden, Common Councilman Kel
ler, Carl McKlnney und Robert Reeves,
the Harber local agents; M. II. Dale,
who has hnd a llnanclal Interest In
much of the Dunn Hros'. contracting,
and Messrs. G. A. .Tessup, 11. Moses, I!,
E. Leonard, J. W. Garnoy, P. W. Stokes
and a number of other citizens.
When the session opened Mr. Hums
nddiessed the committee in the inter
est of Dunn Hros, He remarked that a
year ago Dunn Hros. bid for paving
Mom 00 avenue on speclllcatlons Iden
tical with those of Mulberry street bad
been accepted. The work was stopped,
nevertheless, because land asphalt was
being laid. In that Instance the city had
established a precedent and created the
Impression among bidders that land as
phalt would not be permitted. Dunn
Hros had In consequence submitted
only a lake asphalt bid In the present
case.
Mr. Htirns argued further that there
was the possibility that the laying of
land asphalt might, be prevented In a
legal action. This would be because
the speclllcatlons provided for asphalt
"equally as suitable" as pitch lake as
phalt Instead of providing for either
land or lake variety.
ATTORNEY STOKES CRITICISED.
Attorney Stokes, for the property
owners, sought to criticise Mr. Hums
for anpenring In the Interest of Dunn
Hros. after having represented them a
year ago. when they occupied much
the same position us does the Colum
bia company now. Mr. Stokes then re
hearsed the wishes of the owners of
abutting property for the cheaper
pavement.
Then began the real pyrotechnic dis
play of the good and bad .qualities of
lake and land asphalt accoullng to the
statements of Mr. Rock and Mr. Qulii
lan. Mr. Ruck began It and Mr. (Juln
lan finished It, the former occupying
almost an hour und the latter con
suming nearly as much time rehears
ing the quullttes of the two ;irodticts.
Their arguments were nothing new
and weie about the same as have been
heatd so frequently ut the city hall
durlnc the last year.
Hardly any emphatic statement of
an unusual character made by either
asrent failed to receive a denial from
the other and a volume of proof In
support of his claim.
As an example, Mr. Rock asserted
that the "pockets" or holes which re
mained after the land asphalt had
been removed from them, did not re
fill with asphalt ninterlnl, thus mov
ing that land asphalt was a "dead"
deposit. Mr..Qulnlan emphatically de
nied this, saying the "pockets" gradu
ally lefllled with asphalt deposit from
L.-low, and read a statement In con-
llrmution, a statement made bv an !
nsphult (Xpert. Mr. Rmk contended '
that the author of tlie statement had
ul"ci- udinlaed bis error.

' ''I I00 vWiSID
Within the past year, among the
thousands uf hearty testimonials to
the wonderful curative powers of
Palne's celery compound Hint have
been received by Wells, Richardson ft
company among the thousands of
grateful letters received from every
state and town In the country, there
have come no less than six henrtv In
dorsements from members of the na
tional house of representatives.
All were willing that their experi
ence should be published, believing
rightly that they might thus do rood
to others.
In these columns have already been
published, the letters received from
Congressmen Meredith, Hell, Grout
and Powers.
Now comes a letter from Congress
man Robert Xelll, of Arkansas, ns fol
lows: "My home Is at Hatesvllle, Ark. Dur
ing the lest spring and summer my
eldest daughter, then 17 years of age,
was In very poor health, suffeiTng fiom
general debility, nervous prostration
and lioqueut slight fevers. She had
the best medical attention, but appar
ently with little beuellt. Tn the latter
part of September last, while still fee
lile she begnn the use of Palne's celery
coir.pound. nnl improved in health
continuously. In three months she had
fully recovered, and Is now In perfect
health. I am bound to think the rem-
davit sworn to by some city ofllclal on
Feb. '.). and Mr. Qulnlan stated that the
same party had exuressed himself 'ex
actly opposite In the February number
of Municipal Engineering. And so the
debate continued.
In answer to a question from Mr.
Stokes, Mr. Rock admitted that Scran
ton had some poor lake asphalt pave
ments. They were laid, however, ninny
years ago by an Inexperienced local
firm. Methods had. Improved since
then and the lake asphalt pavements
recently laid were sjood ones.
Mr. Leonard, In a brief address, re
marked that from a business stand
point the lowest bid wns the one to be
accented, admitting even that Its ma
terial and workmanship on the sur
face of the pavement would be the
Poorer Tf each company was bound
to furnish an equally substantial con
crete base. If the Columbia company's
asphalt work was useless, the bond
and the difference In cost would be
in ore than sufllclent to pay for having
the work done over again.
The committee adjoin ned .to meet to
morrow night at 7.",0 o'clock. Select
council will meet Friday night, when
will be afforded, maybe, the last ou
portunlty for awarding the contract
In the old councils and before reor
ganization. The committee has had no
chance to voice Its Individual opinions.
August Robinson, who icully bid for
the Dunn Hros., Is out of the race, as
his bid was not in accordance with the
conditions under which the bids were
to be received.
RUN DOWN BY A TRAIN.

He lay there for about an hour, when

this regulating the nerves and purify

Men und women distressed by nervous

cannot afford now to lose a day before
taking advantage of Palne's celery

Mi order to avoid disappointment ac

evidently not disinterested. He has an
eye to profits inoie than to the good uf

There can be no substitute for
Palne's celery compound.
This has been shown time and time
again In cases where pernona, too eas

besides Palne's celery compound, and
have failed to get tho decided benefit
