TO SECURE DISCHARGES
Movement of Relief Association in
Interest of Soldiers.
At the meeting of tho Soldier Relief
association, yesterday afternoon, a
movement was set afoot to secure the
discharge from Pennsylvania regiments
letatned In tho service such soldiers as
have lnmllles or relatives depending on
their wages for support.
Colonel Holes, just returned from .1
v st to Camp Meade, suggested the
idea. There are about seventy-flvo
soldiers' families receiving aid from the
association. Possibly lifty-flve of these
soldiers are in the Thirteenth regiment,
the rest being in other Pensylvanla
regiments ot the regular nnny. About
fifty of them are to be letatned In the
service. These fifty. Colonel Roles be
lieves, could be spared fronr their com
mands, 01, if they couldn't, recruits
could bo lurnlshed to till their places,
there being no question In the colonel's
mind but that when the lnvltlncr na
ture of the w Inter campaign Is fully
realized there will be rro end of young
men willing and nnxlous to enlist
A letter embodying the Idea, drafted
by Colonel Roles, was presented foi the
association's consideration. Captain W.
A. May, Luther Keller, Conrad Schroo
der and Secrctnry D. R. Atherton, the
members present, nil heartily concurred
in the idea and adopted a resolution to
forward the It ttei to tho governor as
a petition from tho association, signed

ANOTHER PLAN TO
REPAIR ASPHALT
IS INTRODUCED IN COMMON
COUNCIL BY MR. KELLER.
It Provides for a Ten-Year Contract,
tho City Engineer to Havo Charge
of tho Work Resolution Looking
Toward Bringing the 1800 State
Firemen's Convention to This City
Was Adopted Number of Select
Council Measures Were Approved,
Among Them the Assistant As
sessor's Resolutions.
An ordinance vwis Introduced by Mr.
Keller In common council Inst night In
opposition to tho asphalt pavement re
pair measure which passed ono reading
at Wednesday night's specltl meeting
of tho select branch. Mr, Keller's or
dinance was, on his motion nnd with
out debate, referred to the pavements
committee with Instructions to have
th measure printed und to report It
nt tho next meeting.
Tho ordinance provides that tho re
pairing shall be by contract, to be
awarded to the lowest responsible bid
der. The contract Is to extend ten
yours. Section 3 provides: "The bids
shnll bo for nn equal annunl sum for
each of the ten years and shall be pay-
uble each year from the current rev
enue of the city commencing with tho
year 1S99 and ending with tho year
1900. It Is not required, however, thnt
tho contractors shall expend tho same
amount each year."
The city englrrecr Is kIvcu complete
supervision of tho woik, ho to pre
scribe ltn amount and location. In
case of serious difference between tho
city engineer and contractor the latter
may appeal to councils. The payments
aro to be made quarterly.
The contractor Is not to bo obliged to
repair pavements now In bond until
tin expiration ot the bond periods, A
bond of $10,000 Is to be icqulrcd of the
contractor.
To moot the expense, a section adds:
"The city Is to appropriate of tho cur
icnt revenue of the city applicable to
repairs of streets, each year for tho
petlod of ten yearn, commencing with
tho year 1S99, the annual amount called
lor by the ordinance."
Under the provisions of tho ordi
nance It Is estimated tint the annual
cost will be from $10,000 to $12,000 for
ten years, or a totnl of from $100,000 to
$120,000 for tho entire period Acco-d-Inij
to Mr. Roche's select council meas
ure the cost Is not to bo moro than
$70,000 for the whole t-n years.
It Is argued, however, In favor
of Mr. Keller's plan that It will bo
cheaper In the end. This view Is based
on the fact that the Roche ordinance
involves only half tho asphalt pave
ment in the elty while Mr Keller'3
measure refers to all the asphalt pave,
that now under bond faftor the bonds
expire) and certain stretches of pave
ment out of borrd and now in fair
condition but which will require much
attendance soon.
The meeting developed the beginning
of a movement to secure for Scranton
the 1SD9 state firemen's convention. To
this end a concurrent resolution was
Introduced by Mr Zizolman and
adopted.
The action of select council directing
the city solicitor to appeal the decision
of court against the city In the Koehler
paving assessment case to the Superior
court was concurred in.
No debate was occasioned by tho se
lect council resolution providing for the
employment of clerks to assist tho city
assessors In making the 1S99 assess
ment, the clerks to receive seven cents
per assessment and ten cents per dog
recorded. The resolution was con
curred In.
Select council resolutions directing
tho special bond ordinance committee
to include In the proposed bond meas
ure $14,000 for the purchase of Tripp's
woods, to be used for park purposes,
and $0,000 for the purchase of a site
and building for Eagle Hose company
were concurred In.
Action on the select council ordinance
for paving Forest court, south of
Spruce street, which was called up for
first reading, wns indefinitely post
poned on the ground that It provides
for brick In opposition to the wishes of
the property owners, who want asphalt.

My llttlo six-months old girl hid Ecicma.
Wo used all kinds of remedies, hut sho kept
getting worse. I used to wrap her hands up,
and to dress her, bad to put her on the table.
I could not bold her, sbo would kick and
scream, and, when sho could, sho would tear
her faco and arms almost to pieces. Tour
boxes of Cuticl'ka (ointment), two cakes of
CuTicrriA So r, and Currcnru Resolvent
cured her, and no traces arc left.
