FIRST STEP TOWARD A PAVE.
Meeting Held by the Property Ow
ners of.Vorth .11 11 i 11 Avenue.
A large number of property owners
on Notth Main avenue and Providence
road met Tuesday night in renner &
ChappeH'b hall to discuss tho paving
question Marshall Preston was chos
en chairman, and Attorney A. A. Vos
burg, secretary. The object of the
meeting was explained by William
Chappell Courcllman Flnley Ross, and
uthers, and much discussion eiihued
The sentiment of the meeting was In
lav or of paying, the only point raised
being is to tho advisability of having
a sewer laid first, and us to the kind
of pave desired. Tho following resolu
tion was adopted.
Resolved, That tho sepso of this meet
ing Is, that thei councils of tho city of
Scranton bo iceiuesteel to take action to
pavo North Main nvenuo nnd Provldenco
Road, from Carbon street, to the city line,
nfter a sewer has been put. Provided,
that where a sewer Is already in, tho
street shall bo paved as boon as pobslble.
No decisive action was taken as to
the kind of pave desired, but the ma
joilty of those present seemed to fa
vor asphalt, though fceveral spoke of
vlttllled brick Many expiessed them
selves in favor of action on the part of
the councils compelling the Traction
company to lay a double track before
tho street Is paved, or not at all.
It Is hoped that this public expres
sion nf the wishes of the people of
Provldenco will hasten this much
needed Improvement, and that the
councils w 111 move quickly to becure it.
MISS DANCKER'S NEW COMEDY.
,V Divorce Curo Viiis llccelvcel with
Much riuor I.nM Night.
"A Divorce Curo," an adaptation
from the Fieneh of Sardou by Harry
St. Maur, had it Initial Scranton pro
ductlon nt the Academy of Jlunlc last
evening beforo a somewhat slender au
dience. A much better one was de
served by SUss Bancker and her com
pany, who gave a spltited and very en
tertaining pioductlon of thu comedy.
Miss Haneker has heretofoio been
seen in this city in "Our Plat," in
which she found much favior with
Scranton theater-coers. Her versatile
husband, Thomas W. Ttyley, added
not a llttlo to the success of "Our
Flat," and his absence from the cast
last night was regretted. He Is now
acting us the manager of his talented
wife.
"A Divorce Cure" Is quite as light as
"Our Flat," and also quite as enter
taining. Tho story Is that of a young
and' somewhat thoughtless woman
married to a man many years her
senior, who tires of him. becauso ho
ceases to bo a lover tho moment he
becomes a husband. She becomes In
fatuated with a Fieneh viscount and
that she may marry him resolves to
secure a divorce from her husbantl,
The latter finds tho viscount mnklng
love to his wife: she tells him tho
whole truth about the situation and
ho agrees to help her to get a divorce
and bo a father to her and the man
who Is to succeed him ns husband. Of
course, It ends In her ngnln giving
him her love and dismissing the vis
count. Miss Haneker made a charming Di
ana Clssom, the wife who wanted a
divorce. Her nrtlessness quite won
tho audience from the beginning.
Raymond Capp nnd Harry Urciford,
as Sir. Clssom and Viscount Coeure de
Mlllenmorts, respectively, proved
themselves very competent actors.
