Ilolln, J. II. Ilrooks, 1'. C. Puller nnd WorthliiRton Scranton Mo Conclusion JIns llcou Reached ns to Whcro or How the Next Ilnll Will Ho Given lint It Will Not Ho In tho IiVcouni--To lie .More Exclusive. At a teccnt meeting of the "New Year's bnll committee heveral mutter of importance pertaining to the Ut ball were Fitted and the Idea of kIv lng n large ball next year was thor oughly discussed. Owing to the great amount of both time and money required to give a dance of such proportions as the one In the Lyceum last New Year's eve, the committee was not In favor of holding such, a large dance. It was finally de cided, however, that tho new commit tee appointed should decide the ques tion of how, when nnd where to give the annual bnll that for ten vears has been tho representative society event of this city. J. H. Ilrooks, P. C. Fuller nnd Worth -lngton Scnuittin were appointed to tulte Hi'! places so ablv filled by the retiring members, Juntos Rlnlr, Jr., L. 11. Fuller and T. S. Fuller. The ilrst three, with P. II. Ilelln and J. M. Holes, will com pose tho next year's committee. This new committee met nt the residence of Colonel II. M. Doles on Monday even ing for the election of otllcns and to formulate plans for the dance during the holidays. J. M. Holes was elected chalrmnn, F. C. Fuller, secretary, and J. H. IlroolM, treasurer. P. D. Ilelln and Worlhlngton Scrnnton, the ether memheis of the committee, were pres ent. As the popular sentiment has been much In fnvor of at least one largo dance during the holidays, It was final ly decided to glvo n dunce on Monday evening, January L', 1893, that would eclipse. If possible, all others previous ly given and for this reason rteps hnva been taken to procure options on the several places where it was thought such a liall could bo given. Owing to tho dllllcullles occasioned by holding tho ball In the theater several of the young Foclety people have been hoping that the new armory scheme might lake some dellnlte shape, but It Is hard ly possible or probabln thnt a building could be erected In time for a dance dining the holidays. The Seranto" Bicycle club hous- and the board of trade rooms have be?n suggested but each has Its larking features. It Is probable that tho next ball wilt be known "by the old name "The Rach elors' Rail," although some other dis tinctive name may be decided upon. j Social Events. j The beautiful home of Judge and Mrs. E. N. Wlllnrd was the scene of an elegant society affair last night, when a departure was made from the usual details of an evening reception. Judge and Mrs. Wlllard received In tho smaller drawing room, and later the guests were seated In the reception room and the library opposite where Mr. Harry C Peckham, the well-known parlor entertainer, of New York, gave a delightful series of monologues. Mrs. Everett Warren assisted Judge and Mrs, Wlllard in receiving. Tho programme was made up of monologue, mimicry, song and story. The Imitation of the phonograph was one of -the best things given nnd was highly enjoyed.

GARBAGE SCHEME OF MR. DUNNING May Dc Tried In Central Clly as an Experiment. TO BE COVERED DY AN ORDINANCR ftlenmiro 11ns Been Drafted and Will Do Presented Soon to Councils. Provide for All tho Collecting In the Central City to Do Dono by Ono Individual or Compniiy at .No Cost to individuals or tho Municipality. Street Commissioner A. B. Dunning has prepared for presentation to coun cils nn ordinance providing for the col lection of wet and dry garbage by ono person or company in the central city wards. The measure will be read nt next week Thursday's meeting of com mon council or at the session of the select branch the first Thursday In March, While the ordinance has not -been finished In detail a general draft has been prepnred and Its provisions re vealed to a Tribune reporter. It has several objects: To relieve housekeep ers from all expense for the removal of refuse, to compel collections three times a week, to Insure better snnltary con ditions, to prevent the present drip pings nnd siftlugs on the pavements from Improperly constructed carts. For several months a well known business man has been experimenting with garbage collections and become satisfied thut a profit can be made from sortings from even a limited district. This Is so clenily established that the street commissioner hns been led to draft an ordinance in reference to the mntter. It will be presented to coun cils with a communication explaining Its advantages. No lobbying will be attempted to secure Its passage, Mr. Dunning says, as It Is plain that the measure would bring great relief through the abandonment of the pres ent crude and hap-hazzard .system nnd councils will hnvo to take the re sponsibility of icf using to bring about nn Improvement. THE PRESENT SYSTEM. At present a large number If Irre sponsible persons, poorly equipped with leaky wagons nnd ambling horses, are paid by householders to remove garb age at Irregular Intervals. Freepiently the refuse is not removed oftencr than once a week and In many cases not at all, the wet garbage being burned In stoves and furnaces and nshes and other dry stuff plied In bnck yards to await the advent of spring. The Iriegular collections and the drippings from the wagons, It is einlmed. Is mani festly unclean and uuheulthful. According to the provisions of the ordinance the privilege of collections would bo awarded to the person or company considered the most reliable nnd who would guarantee the best col lection equipment and system. Iron carts would bo Insisted upon and it would bo demnnded that they bo Hushed nightly. Storekeepers, tenants nnd householders would be obliged to deliver their sweeplnss, refuse, swill, garbage, barrels, boxes, packing and all similar kinds of debris to the per son or company designated by coun cils. The system of sorting by the con tractor would probably be that uni versally employed throughout the east and In many European cities. The wet and dry garbage would be separated by the householder nnd similarly ced lected. At the garbage plant the wet stuff would be divided into fnts nnd swill, the former for commercial use and the latter for ho feed. Sorting the dry garbage would be the most extensive yet simple part of the work. A long, wide belt running over a table of rollers would slowly carry the contents of the garbage bin through two lines of pickers. Each picker would be assigned to remove one, two or three certain kinds of stuff from the belt. Thus mnnilla paper, white paper, rags, leather, carpet, rubber. glaKS, Iron, lead, brass, copper, zinc, tin, hair, cloth, enr pet, etc., would be separated. The dust and dirt from the garbage would be more than sufficient fuel to generate steam and run the electric light plant. COSTS TIIOl'SANDS A YEAR. At present the city Is under con siderable expense nt lis ciemntory which Is managed by the board of health, and property owners pay thou sands of dollars to ashmen and garbage men. Mr. Dunning claims for his scheme; thnt It would reduce crematory expenses, do nway with the present Individual cost to householders. One objection offered Is that the plan would destroy the Income of the pres ent garbage men. Thnt Is admitted by those friendly t the reform, but they argue thut the objection Is more than balanced by the benefits to accrue from the new system.
