Scranton street This Is the llrst ses
sion held since the election of olllcers
and the chair was occupied by Pres
ident A. H. Holms. T. Fellows Mason
vnn secretary pro tern, Secretary Jo
seph Oliver being necessarily absent.
Thero having been no committees ap
pointed, only business of general Im
portance was considered.
H. D. Jones, chairman of the old
streets nnd .bridge" committee, report
ed upon the recent repairs on Lafa
yette street, between Main nnd Hyde
Park avenues. He also reported that
the petition being circulated In refer
ence to the contemplated pave on Hyde
Park avenue Is meeting with unquali
fied success, and that everything seems
favorable for a pavement on that thor
oughfare In the near future. A peti
tion is being circulated, which Mill be
presented to court In regard to the In
tended opening of Price, and that much
expected Improvement la a near possi
bility. It was suggested by President
A. H. Holmes that a year's dues only
be solicited from delinquent members.
The suggestion was immediately
ndopted In a motion by II. D. Jones to
that eftct-t.
"Some dlsrusslon occurred upon the
park, question, but no definite; action
wiis taken In this rrgnrd. Vpon a mo
tion by II. D. Jones, the proposed wid
ening of West Linden stieet, between
North Ninth street and Main avenue,
was considered. An option amounting
to jic.000 on property had been ob
tained some years ago, but no definite
results were forthcoming. Common
Councilman Simon Thomas volunteered
the above information, and stated that
this had leeii done previous to his
entrance Into coutirIK
It was agreed that a communication
should Ise s-ont the Traction company
offlclnH enlllnsr their attention to a
previous communication sent them.
This communication was u request that
no tracks be laid on the narrow por
tions or Shetland nnd Lafayette
streets. The purpose of the new com
munication would be to request that
this be lollowed out by the laying of
tracks on some avenue north of Sumner
avenue, thus avoiding the norrower
sections of Swctland and Lafayette
streets.
Upon a motion made by T. Fellows
Mnson It was decided to have the new
bridges and streets committee of the
board meet and confer with the coun
clhnen from the Fifth nnd Fifteenth
wards and consider some means of re
palling Luzerne street and South Main
avenue. It is probable that the com
mittee will entertain the offer of Fred
J. WIdmayer to furnish the stone from
his quarry for macadam purposes. This
material can be procured for the slmpl'
hauling away and as it Is the finest
stone hereabouts. It would make an ex
cellent macadam for the streets .need

port of ox-Secretary A. Twining was
held for reading at the next meeting

THIN PEOPLE.
How tho Weight May lie iucrcncil in
a llcnltliful Nnturnl Mutiucr.
All people wlio nre thin are not nec
essarily so from disease,' it is nnturil
for some to bo thin, and no amount of
treatment woilld odd nn lota to tlielr
weight, but the gicat mnjorlty of peo
ple mu thin because their digestion Is
not perfect, their stomachs do not
thoroughly digest llesh-fonnlng foods,
they may not have chronic dyspepslaj
but their digestion Is not vigorous
enough to assimilate the food necessary
for robust health and to keep up their
weight.
For all such, the new discovery for
dyspepsia and Indigestion comes ns a
most welcome, addition to the list of
meritorious remedies, The new discov
ery referred to is Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which is not only a pleasant
and cortnln cure for indigestion, but
possesses the pecullnr power of digest
ing llesh-fonnlng foods, like meat, eggs
and similar ordinary foods, so that the
Increase In weight Is a perfectly na
tutal process. One grain tit the diges
tive principle In Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of llesh
formlng food. Dr. Jennlson recently
stated that he depends altogether upon
thefco tablets for the cure of dyspepsia
and stomnch' troubles, and that they
not only cure the Indigestion, but In
every case a gratifying Increase in
weight was noticed, not fat, but Hit
proper amount of flesh for health and
symmetry. Dr. Harlandson sieaks
highly of the tablets, not only because
they build up flesh and cure indiges
tion, but they are absolutely safe and
harmless, no matter what the condi
tion of the stomach arid are excellent
not enly for the ordinary dyspeptic, but
for Invalids and children.
Stuart's Dyspepsin Tablets nre sold
by all dnigglsts at B0 cents per package
and a trial will convince anyone of
their merits.

Considerable excitement prevailed on
West Drinker stieet last night, and
tralllc was blocked for over an , hour.
A car was coming to the corners over
tho Suburban track, and wns within
two blocks when suddenly a terrific
ctack was heard, caused by the break
ing of. the trolley wile overhead. The
live wire circled around the fender of
the car, and Instantly the whole thing
was In a blnzo of light. The hissing
of the wire could be plnlnly henrd for
blocks around. The car backed down
the hill, slowly unwinding the wire,
which fell to the ground. By this time
a large crowxi of men, women and
children had gathered, and several nar
row escapes were had. The danger to
the children, who had grown bolder
and bolder, wns very great, and the
police were taxed to their utmost in
preventing thenv from running over
the wire. A dog, owned by Oscar Lud
wig, received so terrible a shock that
It will In all probability have to be
shot. Tho doz had, In crossing the
road, accidently stepped upon the wire.
It was thrown for several feet, and its
cries were mot-t painful to be heard.
The accident to the dog was suf
ficient to allow to tho crowd their
great danger, and until the current wns
turned off the greatest excitement pre
vailed. Up till a lato hour a force of
men were busily engaged In repair
ing .the bioken wire. The wire fell in
a thickly populated district, and that
there was not more accidents Is a
mystery.
