I'ouncilmcn Object to I'urchnso of
Supplies from Scrnnton .llorchnnts.
Tho select council held their regular
meeting on Monday evening. There
were present Messrs. McNulty, Delts,
Nealon. Swlgert, Gllhool and Eaton.
A largo number of bills were ordered
raid; also several that have been ap
proved by the common council. Mr.
Nealon earnoitly protested against
the bill for furniture for the police
which was purchased nt Scrnnton. Blnce
it was not desirable to go out of the
city for suplles for the municipal build
ing. It appeared, however, that the
local dealers were not able to sup
ply the tequlred articles, and
therefore the city clerk had giv
en an order for their purchase
elsewhere. The bill was ordered paid.
Several reports from the street com
mittee were favorably reportpd.nnd the
recommendations adopted.
The fire committee recommended that
the nomination of P. P. Molllt for lire
chief be confirmed. The resolution was
referred to the city solicitor for an
opinion ns to Its legality, since the or
dinance provided for an election by tho
councils In Joint session. Several mat
ters of Interest wore considered nnd
some valuable suggestions were made.

siderations to the prices for school
desks, the secretary and superintend
ent were authorized to purchase the

$3.15 for double desks, the price quoted
by Mr. "White. Mr. Dlmock moved nn
expression of sympathy be extended to

who had been an esteemed teacher In

mously cnrrled. A resolution was pass

IMPROVEMENTS AT WILSON CREEK.
A large number of men have been at
work widening the gangway nnd lay
ing a switch at the Wilson Creek mine.
It is now so arranged that tho air
motor can pass the cars. On Saturday
evening the work was completed so that
the motor pulled a trip of twenty
seven loaded cars from tho farther end
of the mine. It Is said that extensive
improvements are contemplated In tho
Coalbrook breaker. There Is need of
enlargement so that more coal can be
handled. It Is thought that nn open
ing into the Coalbrook mine mny be
made from No. 3, so that the coal will
go through tho Coalbrook breaker. The
No. 3 mine now extends nearly to
Mountain lake, so that the arrange
ment will save much labor as the coal
would have to be handled but once
nnd not be carried to No. 3 breaker on
the gravity, to be screened. Several of
the 0lllcer3 have been looking over tho
ground to find tho best place for the
proposed opening.

. POLITICAL.
To Hrtltor of Tho Tribune.
I have heard the question sometimes
aked, by what vote was John It,
Jones, esq., nominated as District At
torney of Lackawanna county, in tho
Republican county convention, which
convened In the Court house, Sept. 4,
1S04?
Ills opponent lias distributed a- cir
cular stnting that Mr. Jones received
the nomination by a plurality ot only
n Halt vote. This Is an error and, in
justico to our District Attorney, I wish
to correct it. I have referred to the
Scranton Tribune Issued Sept. Bth, lbOt,
containing an account of tho conven
tion, nnd find the vote recorded a3
follows:
Jones , 03
Watson 74
Colborn 17V4
Thus it appears that Mr. Jones re
ceived nineteen votes more than George
M. Watbon, and n plurality of one and
one-half votes over his competitors.
The other delegate, who had a half
vote did not vote, on this ballot, al
though ho was pledged to vote for Mr.
Jones. He was dlxsatsfled with the
decision of tho Committee on Creden
tials. During that campaign Mr. Jones did
not announce bis candidacy until a
month before the convention. Mr, Wat
son was then the slated candidate and
had been working his campaign for
many months. Mr,JoneR.called on his
frlenrtB.thraUsbflUt.'thfc.'cdunty to rally
to his assistance;. ZttayZO&tio, nnd he
waa dominated by'nlheteejPvotcs over
Mr.. Watson. "WltU'thi. people otLaek

time? Republican.

Tills for Tale People: "For years I have
been out of doorg in all kinds of bad weather,
looking after my building contracts. I have
worked many days In the rain nnd cold to
complete fcomo building. About two years
ago I noticed I could not get around as I
should, and commenced to havo a severe rain
In my back, I tried tho usual remedies with
out getting nny relief, and for nearly n year I
suffered intensely. I kept up as long ai I
could, Rj I had several contract for buildings
that had to be completed.
"At liMit I could not slcen. Mv physi
cian said it was my kidneys, and every day
I went out doors they would keep me awake
nearly all the following night. Instead of
getting better i oecamo worse, uhu wurncu
a great deal about my work. The doctor
btld I must quit work and go to bed, or he
would not be responsible for my life.
"All tho medicines I took only helped
me temporarily. Some clays I would feel
better and go out a day only to be again con
fined to mv bed for weeks at a time. One
day my wife suggested thnt I try Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I
laughed nt the idea.
"PSnnllc wlii-n T mtt into such a condition
that I would tako almost anything In the
hope of relief, I tried the puis, rney neipeu

edgo it and said it was the other medicines
that had just commenced to work. I disliked

HIS HARDEST JOI).
Tbo Police Cnntnin Confessed It Wns
Stopping a Scrap.
Some of our police captains are
brave men. I asked one of the bravest
what was tho hardest Job he ever had,
to which ho replied:
"Stopping a prize fight."
Thinking to hear an account of riot
ous proceedings, I asked for the de
tails. "Oh, there ain't any," he said.
"There warn't nothing disturbing
about it. The trouble waa with me
self. I wanted to seo tho finish."
New York Tress.
A STRAIGHT TIP.
"Ooln' skatln' 'fore long?" asked little
JImmlo of his sister's beau, who was
waiting in tho parlor.
"I don't skate, my boy. Why?"
"I heard Jennie say If you wanted her
you'd better bo gettln' your skates on,
'cause they was others."
A HACIIKLOK'S KEVEU1E.
0 a homo is a terrible handicap
To a soul that fain would bo free;
It has captured many a prison chap,
Hut It shall never shackle me.
Instead of the cares I would havo to face
In the same old rounds each day,
O, give mo room In a lodging placo
And a lunch at a chance cafe,
1 never need hurry to catch my car,
For I haven't a placo to go,
And early or late, no meals I mar,
For I'm dining alone, you know.
Tho hands of the clock I never chase.
For I drift In an easy way.
Since I sleep in a transient lodging placo
And lunch at a chance cafe.
A brother of mine I love him well!
Went wrong In his early years.
For ho married and bought htm a place
to dwell
(O, the thought of it brings me tears!)
And there he has lived what a pitiful
case!
And there he will likely stay,
While I still sleep In a lodging place,
And lunch at a chance safe.
I sometimes think of his wife and child,
And the vino at hU cottage door.
While I dream of tho perfect lips that
smiled
But they smile for ma no more.
And I muse, "If tho saint with tho angel
faro
Hnd answered me "Yes" Uiat day,
Would I Bleep In a transient lodging place
And lunch at a chance safe.
