FATHER STILL PURSUED THEM.
Young Couple from Moscow Disap
pointed a Second Time.
John Lewis and Lizzie Scott, from
out Moscow wav hoi effort to se
cure a mairlage license fiom Clerk
Daniels Thursday morning, was fius
tiated by a telegram from the girl's
fostei -father, rreeman Lamed, met a
second and similar disappointment In
the Wilkcs-Haue court house.
It appeals that after they left heie
they decided to go to WIIkes-Barre tn
quest of the desired license. The gill's
father had anticipated tills and sent 1
telephone message to the Lui-eine clerk
of the comts, similar to the message
he had sent to Cleik Daniels. When
they appealed the clerk was prepaied
for them and after they had filled out
an application setting foith that they
wero both over twenty-one and that
they resided In Pittston, the clerk pro
duced a docket showing that the girl
had been indentuied by the Luzcino
couits to Freeman Lamed, of Moscow",
in 1S91 and that she was then only
thliteen eais of age. There was no
getting around these facts and the
couple had to leave without the much
coveted license. What subsequent
coiuse they pursued has not as jet
developed.

CLERK WAS PARTICULAR.
Refused a License to a Colored Man
and White Girl.
John W Johnston, coloied, of Win

vllle, were refused a marriage license
bv Cleik of the Courts Daniels yes
leiday because of the girl's Inability
to satisfactorily prove her age.
Johnson Is a native of Moscow and
claims to be 25 yenrs ot age. The girl
alleged she was bom In Wales twenty
three yeais ngo Deputy Clerk Elmer
Daniels, who hns charge of the mar
riage license docket, wasn't disposed
to take the gill's unsupported testi
mony regarding her age, and ufter con
sulting his chief, told her she would
have to bring ono ot her patents to

A STONE AVENUE EPISODE.
Shocking Conduct Alleged Against
James Bums.
James Burns, of Stone avenue, wns
arraigned before Alderman Knsson
ves'torelnv nfteinoon on a shocking
charge, technically called assault and
battel y. The prosecutor wns Michael
Mellnlo, grandfather of Hums' 3- ear
old stepson, Tommy McIIale. Tho
younaster Is a son of Mrs. Uurns by
her llrst husband, who was a son of
McIIale.
Strange to say the only evidence on
which the defendant could be held and
was held was given by himself His
wife was an eyewitness of the occur
ences upon which the charges nre
based, but under the law of this stnte
a woman cannot testify against her
husband. The lest of the testimony
was given by nclghbcns and was hear
say, which Is not ndinlssable either.
Hums could have kept quiet at the
hearing, and then the case would have
to be dismissed, as n defendant Is not
obliged to Incriminate himself, but he
made nn admission that caused him to
be bound over In the sum of $200 for
his appearance tit coutt.
Tho nelghbois nre icsponslble for the
arrest Mrs. Hums vvas noticed ciy
Ing about the house for three davs In
suctession, and when they began to
Inquire In a neighborly way about her
tioubles, pin? Is alleged to have ac
cused her husband of beating Tommy
fiequently nnd otherwise misusing him
The Einnelfnther hcaid tho story and
took action.

and each rlty or section will
be lepiesented on the basis of one dele
gate for cveiy hurdred druggists, or
fraction thcuof, membeis of the nsso

The pin pose of the convention Is a
paitlcular one Indeed, being no less
than an Intention to consider wavs and
means to make 11 counter movo to one
icccntlv made by the nnnufnctuieis
of dings and medicines This move is
really an echo of ' our late difference"
with Spain and emanates lrom the Im
position of the tax upon patent medi
cines, etc 1'iactirally the inanufae
tuieis theieot have so ai ranged that
the letall diugglsts must pay the tax
and In some, en many, Instances near
ly four times as much Tills Is the
"bone of contention "
Tho convention will open Monday nf

puipose of selecting a jcpiesontative

Mr. Davles was the unanimous choice
of the local druggists and it is a just

SMOKE IS PROVING
A GREAT NUISANCE
-....
LARGE CITIES TRYING TO RID
THEMSELVES Or IT.
Use of Soft Coal Is Responsible for
tho Dirty, Smudgy Appearance of
Many of Our Large Cities Action
Taken by Hon. John E. Rocho to
Rid Scranton of the Smoke Nuis
ance Is In Line With Similar Ac
tion in Other Cit es.
Tho action of Hon John H Roche
In Introducing In select council a meiis
111 e to prevent the use of soft coal In
this, tho heart of the authiaclte coal
region, has caused no little comment.
This measure Is in line with the ac
tion of bodies that hnve In charge the
making of laws for many ot our Inige
cities, where the smoke which Is pio
duced by the use ot soft coal, has
pioved an Intolerable nuisance.
The board of health of New Yoik has
put Itself squarely on recoul against
the use of soft coal In that city nnd Is
doing what It can to stump out tho
nulrance.
The New Yoik Tilbune, which has
t then nn nctlvo part against the In
cienMug smoke nuisance In New York,
says, lelatlvo to the promise ot the
Long Island lallroad to use hard coal:
"The larger use of bard coal on the
Long Island lallroad is to bo (Com
mended, and n hope expressed that one
of thpse days hard coal will be used
altogether on not only that load, but
on every road that carries passengers
tint! pretends to give nn.v thing like
flist-cliiss accommodation. No doubt
It will cost the roads more to use hind
than soft coal No doubt, ulso, It costs
more to ptovlde cushioned seats than
II would to piovhtc wooden benches
It costs more to nuke passpngeis coni
foi table than to leave them In dlscom
foit. Hut there Is such a thing ns ad
ditional cxpendlluie that Is In the end
n source of profit And there nre such
things as common comforts and de
cencies that should be assuied to the
public by law if they can be In no
otberwaj "
In an edltorlnl the Morning Tele
graph, of New York, has this to say.
'Theie Is an evei lnci easing number
of muiky sti earns of soft coal smoke
observable all aiound Gi eater New
Yoik The dense, thick smudgy smoke
blackens and defiles all that It touches.
Time was when theie was no soft coal
burned in' New Yoik The icmaikablo
clear, iildescent ntmosphere vvas one
of the city's most famous attributes.
Ii Is so largely still. Hut, if the burn
ing of soft eonl continues to lncicaso
as It has In the past few jeais, then
the famed clear atmosphere of New
Yoik will become a moie tiaditlon,
Theie are ordinances against the bum
In of soft coal unless n proper smoke
consumei Is used. The oidlnance com
pelling all burners of soft coal to use
these consumers Is one which should bo
nfcieed tn the letter. If these Piter
hiiodb are attached to chimneys, then
tho ral'unce of the soft coal Is abated
i,ienti.. It Is a pity that the greed to
save money has brought soft coal Into
such geneinl use In a city where It
.is unknown. Hut ns such Is the sad
f ft. It lemalns foi the authoiitles to
see that evciy piovlslon be cairled out
to abate the nuisance as fai as pos
sible." DECLARED A COMMON SCOLD.
