has been actually forced Into secondary
place.

Colonel Sanderson Inquired It the city
solicitor had been naked for an opinion,
becuuso the Harbor Asphalt company
sent a communication nt the last meet
ing protesting against receiving bids,
claiming that Itself has the contract
for one year from Nov. 3, 1S97. Mr.
O'Hoyle said the solicitor said It was
all right to let tho contract to the
Keystone Paving company. Mr. Lans
ing thought the solicitor's opinion
should bo In writing. Mr. Hocho
nrgued that the streets arc In n de
plorable condition and need repnlrlng
very badly. He wns In favor of adopt
ing tho report of the committee.
MOTION DI3FKATHD.
Mr. Lansing thought there should bo
a guarantee of the work for a certain
period. Mr. O'Hoyle said the commit
tee hnd figured out tho bids and tho
Keystone company's was $2,500 lower
than any other. Tho motion to refer
It back to committee was defeated by
tho vote of 11 nays, 9 ayes.
Tho contract for cleaning tho paved
streets by contract was awarded to
tho Dunn Street Sprinkling company
for the lump sum of $8,500 for 211 days.
Two other bidders wore Vv. J. Hurke
nnd James Kearney. Mr. Hurke's bid
was 34 cents for sweeping and 33 cents
for Hushing every 10,000 square feet.
Mr. Kearney's bid wns 40 cents for
sweeping and 43 cents for Hushing a
similar surface. The paving commit
tee burned midnight oil on several oc
casions figuring out the lowest bidder.
When the report on the street clean
ing contrnct was under consideration,
Mr. Hocho handed to tho city clerk tho
following self-explanatory communica
tion: Whereas. It has come to our notice that
tho councils of tho city are contemplat
ing letUng tho cleaning ot our streets
out by contract, and as we understand
tho law, our councils aro organized to
look after tho city's best Intcres-ts.
Therefore, wo claim that the contem
plated action would not be In this direc
tion because It would have a tendency
to rcduco the wages of the workmen on
the streets and thereby curtailing the
purchasing power of the general public.
Again, wo pay a street commissioner a
high salary and It 1's his duty to give
his undivided attention to tho streets,
and do tho work to tho best advantage.
of the city.
Itesolved, That we. tho lJulldlng Trades
of tho city of Scranton demand from tho

WONDERFUL GROWTH.
Celebration ol Hie Sesqul. Centennial of
Pennsylvania Lutheran Minister
Inm In Trinity Lutheran Church.
The one hundred and fiftieth anni

Miller, of Philadelphia, and Revs. A.
L, Itnmor, Ph.D., C G. Splekcr, J. M.
Scheidy nnd John Kownl, of Scranton.
Some cause for the observance of tho
sPFqul-oentcnnlal may be observed In
tho fact that nt fhe first assembly
there were represented only ten Luth
eran congregations of about a thou
sand communicants, while todny thero
are 10.000 congregations and 1,500,000
communicants.

A statistical paper prepared by Rev.
A. L. Ramer, Ph.D., of this city, wns
read by II. L. Hungerford, of Wllkes
Harro. It was an Interesting review
of tho Growth of the church and wns,
In part, as follows:
In August of 1748 six pastors nnd about
thirty delegates met In St. Michael's
Hvangellcal Lutheran church or Phila
delphia for the purpose of effecting nn
organization of tho Lutheran churches
scattered over a vast territory but with
out any bond of union, or tho mnns or
judlcous oversight. In that first assem
bly thero wero represented ten congre.
g.vtlons with a membership of nhout a
thousand communicants. Thero were at
that time six other Lutheran minister?,
with twenty-three congregations.
The entire stiength of Lutherans In
America was then about 3.000 contlrmed
members. This wns U0 years ago. Now
thero art tin yncds, moro than 0,000 min
isters 10,000 congregations and 1,300.000
communlcar ts. And the Lutheran church
In general has grown during a century
and n half, so has also tho "Mother
synod." It now conFlsts of 3J3 ministers,
500 ccngregations nnd a communicant
membership of 123,000.
Nurn.Mi'Mlly tho Wllkes-Harre confer
ence Is one ot the weakest. It Is largely
a missionary conference. Slnco tho be
ginning of tho present decade, 1!) con
gregations were organized. Five or Its
congregations were organised before tho
beginning of the nlnetef nth century, dur
ing the llrst half of tho century twelve,
moro camo Into existence. Tho present
communicant rrf mborship of nil the con
gregations Is 13,fK). Tho number of Sun
day schools is 03 with a membership of
8. 500.

tenor. The accompanist was J. M.
Chance.

At Cattln's, 126 I'nnn avenue,
VERY SEVERE WIND
AND RAIN STORM
Did a Great Amount ol Damago About
the Clly Last Night.
A PIPE RUNNING UNDER TUB 1)., L.
& W. RAILROAD WAS UNA11LE TO
CARRY OFF THE GREAT QUAN
TITY' OF WATER AND A WASHOUT
RESULTED PHELPS STREET PRO
PERTIES AGAIN DAMAOED-CAR-HON
STREET WAS IMPASSAULU
FOR SOME TIME.
Tho rain and thunder storm which
began nt 10 o'clock last night and con
tinued for nearly three-quarters of nn
hour did a largo amount of damago
but no great particular dumago. Tho
Scranton Hallway company suffered
the most. Its entire system was crip
pled, and as a consequence the street
corners were crowded with belated per
sons. Tho hollow on Carbon street, hack of
the Dickson works, contained five feet
of water, and it rose high enough to
How down the street to the river. It
found Its way Into cellars and rose so
high In the stable of Mrs. Mary Har
rett and Mrs. Gordon thnt tho horses
had to bo taken out.
Four cars loaded with passengers
were stalled between tho crossing of
tho Delaware and Hudson nnd tho
Ontnrlo nnd Wostern crossing. Tho
motors were disabled by tho lightning,
nnd the passengers had to walk down
tho Delaware nnd Hudson tracks to
Vine street and climb up over the hill
to Penn avenue, where relief cars wero
In waiting to bring them to Lacka
wanna nvenue. When they got to
Lackawanna avenue they were about
ns bad off. No cars wero running on
any of the other lines.
CARS OFF THE TRACK.
The Laurel Hill lino wns In bad
shape. Four cars were derailed along
the route. The water had washed so
much mud on the tracks that the cars
left the rails. There was a car off at
the Moses Taylor hospital, one near
Laurel Hill park, one under tho Erie
nnd Wyoming bridge and another near
the end of the Throop line. The Taylor
lino had three cars with "burnt out"
motors, and on the South Side nnd
(Plttston lines n similar condition pre
vailed. The culvert under the Dela
ware and Hudson railroad at Spring
street, Mooslc, was filled nearly to the
nrch with water, and the tracks wero
covered with about eighteen Inches of
silt. Tho Stono avenue line was not
open further than Prospect avenue,
nnd tho Bcllevuc enrs wero blocked
from going to the end of the lino on
South Washington avenue.
Tho Linden street Bide of tho court
house square was submerged. The
catch-basin at the corner of Washing
ton avenue got blocked and tho wnter
spread out over the street and side
walks, nnd was up to tho base stono
of the Washington monument. Pur
cell's bath room was unnblo to accom
modate Its patrons until an hour after
midnight. The water backed Into tho
steam room and carried much mud
with It. The basement of tho Hoard of
Trade building was Hooded to a depth
of two foot, but no damage was done,
ns tho bottom Is cemented nnd tho
walls aro either brick, cement or stone.
CELLARS FILLED.
Every basement along Linden street
from Adams avenue to tho cathedral
received more or less water. It backed
Into the pits In tho Linden street car
barn and filled them. On Adams ave
nue, nt the corner of Mulberry street,
tho water backed over tho sidewalks,
but not much wont Into tho basements
In the vicinity.
On Spruce street tho wnter backed
over the sidewalk and Into the base
ment of tho new bank building next to
the Mears, and after tho rain stopped
nnd tho sewors carried off tho water
there was a coating, of mud on tho
pavement ten Inches deep.
Tho greatest damago reported wns
the washout on tho Rloomsburg divis
ion of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western for 150ynrds north of the Eelle
vuo station. A large drain pipe going
under the tracks got blocked and the
wnter tore down tho south-bound track
and washed away that portion of it.
Trains had to pass on tho other track.
The water that tore up tho railroad
embankment flowed Into tho supply
shaft of tho Hellevuo colliery and Into
tho boiler room, quenching tho flros In
the latter place, and In the bottom
vein of tho shaft It rose to a height
of two and one-half feet.
Outside Foreman Green wns of the
opinion that the colliery would not bo
In shape for work before Monday by
reason of the surplus water. It will
take several hours to pump tho water
from the boiler room alone.
A gang of section hands went to
work as soon as the storm was over,
repairing tho washout.
PHELPS STREET AGAIN.
The first place almost that suffers In
a big rain storm Is tho vicinity of
Phelps street, which Is drained by the
Fourth district sewer. Reports of
flooded basements came from thero,
but the storm wns of more Inconveni
ence than damage to the residents of
that district.
Tho wind was high nnd It knocked
down some trees on tho South Sldo
nlong Cedar ayenue. The fence on
South Washington avenue enclosing
Schwenk's base ball park was blown
down,
The freight train on the Jersey Cen
tral that leaves for the south nt mid
night was delayed on account of mud
on the tracks between Scranton street
and Hellovue. A force of men cleared
the road In two hours.
Plttston avenU'?. between Alder street
and Willow was Hooded nnd tho base
ments of Harry Klaumlnzer, Jacob
Demuth nnd Jacob Miller were half
filled with water and mud.
ON WEST SIDE.
West Scranton did not escape some
damage by the heavy down pour as
will bo seen by tho few Instances
noted below.
A large maple tree was broken off
about half way up the trung and com
pletely blocked passage along tho side
walk and tore a guy wlro of
the street railway's cable loose. The
treo Is one ot the few beautiful maples
which stand near tho curb along Wash
burn street on tho right hand sldo Just
umove Main.
Luzerne street from Thirteenth to
Nineteenth street was covered by wnter
to a depth of 4 inches to a foot. Col
lars were filled along this street and
a largo tree was blown across the
sidewalk near Fifteenth street.
Tho lower end of Scranton street he
low Seventh was badly washed out.
This tilling wns only put in a few days
ago.
A large hole was made on North
Main avenue, at the Mt. PleaBaht rav-

have slid into the ravine on tho lower
sldo. The section washed out Is about
fifteen feet deep and eight feet across.
This particular position was fenced off
sometime ngo owing to Its dangerous
looseness.
All tho sewer basins wero moro or
less choked nnd tho streets unpaved
were washed pretty bare. A small
street department gang wero around
soon after tho storm patching up nnd
opening basins.
SERVICE CRIPPLED.
Tho Street Railway service was
somewhat handicapped. At tho curve
near the Central Railroad of Now Jer
sey a short circuit created great ex
citement aboard tho cars standing
there. In spite of tho torrents, the
more timid ones loft the cars. Car 302
of tho Washburn A'estlbulo had Its
lamp circuit blown out and a candle
furnished the light for a time.
The electric stre-. t lamps wero out
during the continuance ot tho vorm
and West Scranton was In total lark
nesss. Tho wind blow down two Hags on
Wyoming avenue and swept thorn
along to the Dime bank corner. One
Is a silk flag and the other of rough
material. They were taken to tho po
lice station and the owners may get
them upon Indentlflcatlon.
NEW NATIONAL GUARD.
Steps Arc Being Jakca tn Organize
Companies in This CityAn
Order Expected Soon.
Thero seems to bo a general under
standing In Scranton among the ex
ollicers of the Thirteenth regiment that
a now Pennsylvania National Guard
Is to bo organized to replace that
which was handed over to the govern
ment. Whether tho now guard Is to be
provisional and discharged in favor
of the old regiments after the war Is
ended, whether It Is to bo fully equip
ped at the state's expense these and
other details are not known. Rut the
tip has reached here as It has Phila
delphia, where three new National
Guard regiments are being organized
by Colonel Morrell that Governor
Hastings will Issue some kind of an
order within a week or ten days which
will result In the creation of a new
guard.
The ex-members of Company D arc
tho flrst to anticipate the order In
this city. Last evening nine of them met
In tho olllce of ox-Lloutenant Frank
A. Rranda In the Mears building. They
decided to request ex-Captain Fre
mont Stokes to assume command of
the temporary organization and ar
ranged to begin recruiting. Nineteen
ex-members have already Indicated
their willingness to re-cnllst.
Ex-Captain Dlmmtck. of Company A,
ex-Lieutenant Scott, of Company H;
ex-Llcutenant Davis, of Company C nnd
ex-Sergeants Edwards and Curling, ot
Company F, nro arranging to begin
tho re-organization of their respectlvo
compnnles. In an Interview yesterday
n gentleman woll known In military
affairs said to a Tribune reporter:
"I have reason to believe tho report
Is true that Governor Hastings has
requested Colonel Morrell to organize
a brigade In and about Philadelphia.
We feel assured that ho will make
tho same request of men who may
be In command of two other brigades
In other parts of the state. A govern
ment call for moro troops may change
this plan temporarily, but not per
manently, for everyone knows- as well
as the governor that tho state cannot
get nlong without Its customary home
protection.
"If the president's call should come
after tho reorganization of tho guard
Is well under way tl regiments would
bo turned over to te government as
rapidly as they were created. The men
would, I believe, enlist for state ser
vice with the purpose of volunteer
ing when tho time came.
"While no trouble would bo exper
ienced In securing competent men for
officers' commissions, few of them
would care to go to tho expense of
equipping themselveH under tho old
rules of the guard unless assured that
tho guard Is to bo permanent In enso
It Is not nsked to volunteer. It would
bo no Joke for thirty or forty otllcers
of n new Thirteenth to spend $100 each
for uniforms and other equipment nnd
then bo honorably discharged with
their commands In order to make wny
for tho old regiments on their re
turn from war.
"My hope Is that tho recruiting of
tho new companies will bo continued.
The questions of organizing perma
nently or volunteering can be settled
later, when the details ot Governor
Hastings' plan Is known.
