BLAME WHERE IT BELONQS.
r
.A Conncllmnn Urine Up a Subject
for tho Public Good.
A few day at?o there appeared In
this column an article on tho needed
revival of tho board of trade and
planned public Improvements that fell
through during the season. Last even
ing the following was published:
To the Editor, of Tho Leader.
I noticed In the Carbondale corre
spondence of The Tribune recency a
fow words ancrlblng tho delay In erect
ing a new bridge over No. 1 plane to al
leged friction In councils. There Is no
Ruch cause as that and the correspond
ent ought to know that the delay In the
matter Is not due to councils at all.
Some time ago we passed a resolution
requesting the mayor, city solicitor
nnd city engineer to confer with the
ofllclals of tho Delaware and Hudson
to learn what they would do In the
matter. Councils have never had a re
port from this committee and are at a
standstill In consequence.
Councllmnn.
"Councilman" should bo thanked for
bringing to public notice the fact con
cerning this committee a fact which
was well known to the correspondent
but he misrepresents the other matter
slightly, the misrepresentation being
undoubtedly due to a careless reading
of the article. The Tribune correspond
ent said: "Through tho antagonism of
tho select and common councils and
other causes, all these proposed changes
came 1o naught."
,,The dereliction of the committee
"Councilman" refers to is Just what tho
correspondent had In mind when ,he
wrote "and other causes." Everyone
who has followed the trend of public
nffalrfj in this city is awaio that coun
cils ire not to blame because a new
bridge has not been erected over No.
1 plane, even If they did kill Mr. Glen
non'i bond ordinance, which would
hovf provided money for It. Yet
councils may be held partly responsible
for no, demanding a report from their
c(Mrntttee.
Kwever, It Is a well-known fact that
th J Delaware and Hudson company Is
aveYse to "going half" on an expensive
structure for the carrying of pavement
and If a first-class Job Is to be done
the city may as well prepare to stand
the bulk of the expense.
But let us have the report. That
may shed a little more light on the
subject.
HUGHES FOR SCHOOL DIRECTOR.
Ho Elected His Dclcgatos nnd Will
Ho Nominated lor Thnt Olllce.
P. F. Hughes, who was defendant
In the long drawn out and expensive
Collins-Hughes election contest for the
olllco of sch'ool director In this city a
couple of years ago, elected his dele
gates at the Democratic primaries
ye.ste.rday. This means that he will
make another effort to represent the
people of the Third nnd Fourth wards
on the school board. The prophets
say he has a good chance of
elected.
beiru-J
P. G. McDonough' will be the next
"elect councilman from the Fourth
ward. Ills delegates were elected and
a Democratic nomination in that ward,
is tantamount to an election. J. J.
McNulty, who has served the ward In
that capacity for years, will be the
retiring member.
Alexander Kennedy will be the nom
inee for common council from the
Fourth. Delegates have made so many
promises that further than this they
are practically unlnetructecl. The con
vention promises to bo a warm one.
FELL REPUBLICAN"?.
Fell township Republicans have
placed In nomination the following can
didates: For supervisors, Fred. Jen
eon nnd Caleb Howaith: for school di
rectors, II. P. Klefer, John T. Thomas

peace, Joseph Wllce; for poormaster,
Benjamin Milton; for assessor, Adel

now and R. W. Jones; for treasurer,

DID ANTITOXIN KILL?
Mrs. Louis Bought, of Letiowille,
died at the "Falls" last evening of
diphtheria. Her death occuncd fif
teen minutes after untltoxln had been
administered. She was 15 years old
and the daughter of George E. Allen,
