WEST SCRANTON
Hoard of Trade Held an Interesting
Meeting In the Dank Buildloj;.
IMPROVEMENTS TALKED ABOUT
It Was tho Opinion oT the Members
That a Ulg Ilond Isuo Will Be
Necessary IfThls Pnrt of tho City Ii
Soon to Havo Improvement! That
Are Badly Ncodod-.I'nlr In th
Welsh C. M. Church.
The members of tho West Side board
of trade met In regular monthly ses
sion last evening In their rooms In the
West Side Bank building. It was a
well attended and decidedly Interest
ing meeting In many senses. President
A. B. Holmes presided. There was no
special business to transact, and
the evening was devoteu mainly to
the discussion of particular Improve
ments which It wns thought should bo
Inaugurated on this side during the
coming year. The need of a city mar
ket and the excellent adaptability of
such at the old stove works plant on
Doekaah place was discussed. Tho
Nineteenth sewer district nnd tho via
duct all came In for a share of the
discussion. The board agreed that tho
Issuing of bonds to cover the many
needed Improvements of all sorts In
tho city would settle the vexing ques
tion of how to get these things with
no funds in sight.
Anent the market idea a prelimin
ary move was made by the board.
Upon a motion by William Farrell, a
committee of three was appointed to
draft a resolution which could be sub
mitted to councils to the end that fur
ther steps be taken relative to the
establishing of a city market. The
committee Is William Farrell, II.
Campbell and John Fern.
Secretary Oliver brought up the mat
ter of tunnelling on Luzerne street, nt
the Intersection of Main avenue, In
the contemplated Nineteenth sewer dis
tract, nnd spoke of the apparent mis
understanding of property owners as
to the cost and manner tho work could
be done. City Engineer Phillips was
requested .to throw a little light upon
the subject. He did so in a. satisfac
tory manner. To properly grade the
sewer along Luzerne street from
Twentieth street to the river would re
quire a tunnel at the intersection of
South Main avenue nnd Luzerne street.
To sewer In tho other directions, viz:
west from Main to Keyser Valley creek
would be feasible, but tho water flow
would not be sufficient In the creet at
all times to carry the sewerage away.
Therefore the sewer would have to be
carried to Taylor, along the creek
route. The tunnel Idea would be cheap
er, safer and more certain In the long
run.
It would begin near Thirteenth street
and run to Tenth. At the deepest part
it would be 45 feet below the street
level. However, no property owner
would need to dig for the connection to
that depth along the tunnel's length.
as a subsideary sower would bo placed
about the tunnel with shaft connec
tions for laterals. Thus it would be
just the same to the property owners
ns if no tunnel existed so far as their
connecting wus concerned. It was ut
terly useless to contemplate any im
provement, especially a sewer, as no
funds are obtainable and there would
be none for some time unless a bond
measure was taken up. Then all the
many needed Improvements, such as
sewers, fire houses, viaduct, opening of
streets, parks, market, etc., could be
Immediately taken care of and a di
rect benefit gained.
II. D. Jones, of tho streets and
bridges committee, reported In refer
ence to the laving of sidewalks at the
Brown property on Robinson street
and stated that it would be finished
as soon as the weather permitted. He
also reported several minor actions.
The report of the condition of Luzerne
street, near Meridian street, by T.
Fellows Mason, wns referred to the
streets and bridges committee.
The board gave Its endorsement to
the Loud postal bill (House bill No.
5,359) now pending In the house of
representatives to alter the second
class postal laws. They officially re
cognized the contemplated new atlas
of the city of Scranton and the bor
ough of Dunmore, which Graves and
Stelnberger, of Boston, are yetting
out. This action was taken In res
ponse to a communication received
from H. England, tho firm's representa
tive here.
COMPANY F INSPECTED.
Last evening in their armory hall,
Company F, the Junior company of the
Thirteenth regiment, mustered for the

cer was in line. The accoutrements

A Mother9
Misery.
The story of this woman is the every day history of
thousands who are suffering as she did; ivho can be
cured as she was ; who will thank her for showing them
the way to good health.
The most remarkable thins; toot Mn.
Nellie J. Lord, of Strafford Comer, N. H.,
ii that ihe h alive to-day.
No one, perhaps, i more surprised at
this than Mrs. Lord herself. She loots back
at the day when she stood on the verge of
death and shudders. She looks ahead at a
life of happiness with her children, her hus
band and her home with a joy that only a
mother can realUe.
Mrs. Lord is the mother of three children,
two of whom are twins; until the twins
came nothing marred the joy of her life.
Then she was attacked with heart failure
and for a year was unahje to attend to the
ordinary duties of the home. In describing
her own experience Mrs. Lord sayst
"I had heart failure so bad I was often
thought to be dead.
"With this I had neuralgia of the stom
ach so bad it was necessary to give me
morphine to deaden the pain.
"Sometimes the doctors gave me tem
porary relief, but in the end it seemed as if
my suffering was multiplied.
"Medicine did me no good and was but
an aggravation.
" I was so thin my nearest friends failed
to recognize me.
"No one thought I would live.
" I was in despair and thought that my
was united In marriage to Fred Sohns,
also of Plttston avenue. Rev. Mr.
Nordt, of the Hickory Street Presbyter
ian church officiated. Miss Carrie Rel
denbach, sister of the charming bride,
was maid of honor, while Jacob Sohns
acted as groomsman.
The ceremony was performed In tho
main portion of the groom's home. The
decorations were exquisite, and the
many Invited guests formed a merry
coterie. The wedding dinner was of a
high order. Mr. and Mrs. Sohns will
dispense with tho customary tour, and

were the recipients of many valuable

"excruciatingly funny" or "Intensely
amusing," although both terms seem In
adequate and full to fully characterize
the cleverness of the conception nnd deft
ness of tho actors interested. The entire
cast of the Smyth & Rico company has
been praised for Its work In tho com
edy that made an unknown author fu
mous in a night.
The Girl Irom Paris.
Kdward B. Rice's New York company
will present "Tho Girl from Palls" at
tho Lyceum Thuisday, Feb. 10. "The Girl
from Paris" is a very dainty and chic
Parlslenno who lllrts her wav through
two acts of tho most tuneful and lively
musical comedy of tho day, with a train
of nttractlvo girls, who with the gay co
quette create havoc among the principal
male characters, ersnaring them Into tho
most surprising und ludicrous complica
tions. The music has become vpry popu
lar and somo of the airs which aro often
heard in the city aro "Sister Jano's Top
Noto." "So Talto a Warning," "I'm All
the Way from Gay Pnree," "The Bat
tert,ea Butterfly Shooters" and others.
The company Is ono of tho strongest
that Mr. Rico haH ever gathered and In
cludes some of the most popular players
of tho American and Bngllsh stage. It
is more than likely that "The Ulrl from
Paris" will receive an enthusiastic greet
ing. Tli.i Dencon' Punchier.
Tho great farco comedy, "The Beacon's
Daughter." la headed by the pretty and
world known Ilttlo soubrette, Miss Lillian
Kennedy, and supported by nn exception
ally clever company of comedians. Not
withstanding the enormous expense ot

advance In prices. It will bo given at
tho Academy or Muslo tho last threo
evenings of this week,

Instantaneous success In her now piny,
"Napoleon," una not only was sho fa
vorably received, but was called before

"Then I commenced to take the pills I
weighed 120 pounds t now I weigh 146

"I owe my happiness and my health to
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My, husband
was benefited by them. I have recom
mended them to many of my friends and
will be glad if any word of mine will direct
others to the road of good health."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
have cured many cases of almost similar
nature.
The vital elements In Mrs. Lord's blood
were deficient. The haemoglobin was ex
hausted. She was unfit for the strain the
was compelled to undergo. He nervous
system was shattered and her viUBty
dropped below the danger point.
A collapse was inevitable.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured her by
supplying the lacking constituents of health
by filling the veins with blood rich in this
requisite element of life. The heart re
sumed its normal action; the nervous sys
tem was restored to a state of harmony,
and the neuralgic affection disappeared.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere, who believe them
to be one of ihe most efficacious medicine
the century has produced.
