Speeches Delivered by Assistant Dis trict Attorney W. Gaylord Thomas, Jnmcs Evans, of Mercer; R. A. Zimmerman, W. G. Thomas, of Lansford, nnd Hon. John R. Fnrr. E. E. Robnthan Was Chairman of the Meeting Jenks' Career Re viewed by Mr. Zimmerman.' Despite the blustery wind and lain stoi m which prevailed durlns the early uveiilng a wood sized nssemblacu was tit Ht. David's hall last night to wit ness the opening of tho Republican campaign in Sciunton. TIioubIi the au dience wns not, in the mnttcr of size, what It would doubtless have been hud the weather been any way propitious, It was by no means dlnilnltlve In the matter of enthusiasm. Kvery speaker, every telling point In his speech nnd the mention of every Ilepubllcnn can didate's nniiio wns greeted with an pluuse that was demonstrative enough for u gatheiing twice as large. Theio was no lack of opportunity for a display of this enthusiasm. The spenkeiH were men capable of enter taining, Instructing nnd edifying, and made the most of the favorable oppor tunities the occasion presented for an exercise of these capabilities. Among them was James M. Kvans, of Mcicer county, a former lesldont of Scranton. Thirty yents ago he lived in l'.Uagonla nnd Tnylorvlllo and worked In the mines for fifteen years. He Is now one of the leading citizens of AVestern Pennsylvania, and one of the best known AVelshmen In tho coun ty, his bardic name, "lago," being a household woid In cciy AVcIsh com munity. He is engaged in the insur ance business, but dmotos much of his tlmo to llteiaiy woik, being a regu lar contributor to the leading AVelsh papers and periodicals. MR. THOMAS' REMARKS. Another of the speakers wns A O. Thomas, of Lansford, one of the moht prominent of Carbon county's attor neys, although a young man scarcely out of his teens. That his nullity us a, speaker is not of the ordinary kind. Is nttested by tho fact that he is on a tour of tho state under the auspices of tho btate committee. In uddltlon to these men from abroad were R. A. Zimmerman, Assistant Dis trict Attorney AV. Gayloid Thomas, Hon. John R. Farr and n. 12. Robn than. The last named, ns committeeman from the West Side, called the meeting to order. He said It wns eminently proper thnt the first gun of the Repub lican campaign in the Klectilc city should bo ilred in Hyde Park, tho Glb raltor of Lackawanna Republicanism. There has been street talk, he said to tho effect that tho attitude of the AVe-st Side just at present leans towards mugwumpery. Ho doubted this, but even if it wns true he felt assuied that when election day rolled around and tho votes were counted Hyde Park would be found giving one of her old tlniu majorities. Ho then Introduced as chairman of the evening Assistant District Attor ney Thomas whoso popularity was very emphatically attested by tho re ception accorded him. Mr. Thomas dwelt briefly upon the significance of public meetings, the privilege of free speech und tho equality of nil men In the eyes of tho law. Particularly aro all men equal, he said, when they are in the election booth. This equal ity and the light that goes with it should not be lightly thought of. To barter it means the Jeopardizing of our liberty. Reverting to the ciy of the Democrats that thero are not national issues at question in this campaign, Mr. Thomas called attention to tho fact that theie are thirty congressmen to bo elected In this state this fall, then went on to review briefly the im portance at this particular time of keeping intact a Republlrnn congress, that will prevent the vicious legitla tlon with which tho country was threatened two ycais ago, WAS AVARMLY GUEI2TED. A hearty outburst of applause greet ed the appearance of Mr. Evans. Ho acknowledged It gracefully and spoke for a few minutes in a nelghboily way of his old associations in Hjde Park and of the prominent men of the place in his time, several of whom were pres ent to hear him. Ho then went on to say that In 1SSI the Democrats resolved that tho war was a failure and named McClcllan v stand for that idea. Ger.rgo A. Jenks voted for McClellan. Mr. Jenks, he said, is afiald to say that he Is a free sllverlte, a free trador or anything ilse, except that he Is bent on reform ing the Republican party. Now, I be lieve tho Republican party Is able to reform Itself without the aid of Mr. Jenks or any other Democrat. AVo will attend to our own family quanels. Tho history of Democracy in this county Is one of paralyzed Industry and general distress. AVith the elec tion of McKlnley enme a return of prosperity. If you believe you made a mistake in noting for AVIIlIam McKln ley do not vote for any Republican candidate this fall. He paid a beautiful tribute to Col onel AV. A. Stone with whom he Is per sonally and intimately acquainted, speaking of him ns a man, a neighbor, a pattlotlc citizen nnd a statesman and contending that ho was tho man above all others who was fitted to grace the ofllie i.f governor of tho Uieat commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Speaking cf Congressman Council's candidacy for le-elccllon he said that leaving asldo the national need of re turning Republican congressmen the people of this region should from sel fish motives continue in ofTice tha leader of the movement and spokesman of the committee organized for the pur pose of extending the market for an thracite coal One of Mr. nvans' ninny trite sayings was in Introducing tho subject of the howling against the lest leglrlaturc, when he said. "There are a good many people who only seo the sun when there is an eclipse and they only seo tho black Bpot." Ho closed with an elo quent tribute to President McKlnley and his conduct of tho war and charg ed tho people to vote as their boys shot for the glory of the stars and Etrlpes. Mr. Zimmerman, tho next speaker, began with tho admonition to his hear ers to voo conscientiously. Pennsyl vania could survive a Republican do feat, but it could not live with its peo plo dlslnfranchlscd by fear, favor or any other Influence. Ho called attention to the Democrats at Altoona, and said that they repud iated their party by remaining illent on ts platform. Now they attempt to excuse the action by saying thero are no national Issues now. And this, in a commonwealth containing one twelfth of the population of the Union. They aro not honest in this statement. They aro ashamed of their national Issues. But taking It thnt there are no na tional Issues In this controversy, wo are leady to meet the Democratta party on stnte Issues. Tako tho main Issue thnt they would make. They say tho Republican party has looted the slate treasury. AVlmt did tho Demo cratic party do when it was in power7 They left tho commonwealth in debt to tho extent of $40,000,000 without any permanent improvements to show for It. Again, when the effort was made to permit soldiers of the civil war to vote In the field the Democratic supreme court declnicd It unconstitutional, and when nn nmendment was proposed to make It constitutional, every Dcmo ciatlc countv In the state gave a ma jority against It. The same Democratic supreme court gi anted an Injunction against the draft and Pennsylvania could not fill Its quota until tho election changed the complexion of the bench. Another thing that the state Democ racy are not boasting of Is tho action of this same Democratic supreme couit in ruling that I'nltcd States notes were not legal tender. OPPOSKD LEGISLATION. The opposition of the same legisla tors to Mr. Farr's compulsory educa tion bill: Governor Paulson's double veto or his fico text book bill weie mentioned ns other things that Mr. Jenks and his snell-blndeis nre not boasting of. To Mr. Jenks' efforts, at the armory meeting, to belittle the ac tion of the Republican party In taking tho state 1 tax from real estate, Mr. Zimmerman said that If there Is one thing tho Republicans of this state can boast of It is the system of taxation Inaugurated under their administra tion. AVhen the Republicans regained con trol of tho state they found all real estate taxed for state pui poses at the ate of three mills on the dollar of valuation. Tho fnimers nnd other propoity holders were paying $23,000,000 a year In state taxes on real estate, besides what they paid on personal property. In lSCii the state tax on realty was wiped out and In 1874 the state pcisonal tax was virtually done away with and now under this bene flclent syhtem of taxation, which Mr. Jenks makes so light of, every county In the state receives back from two to eight times ns much ns It contri butes, In Lackawanna tho proportion being $34,000 paid In and $276,000 re turned. Dealing with Mr. Jenks Individually. Mr. Zimmerman stated that this man who now seeks to be the governor of Pennsylvania was the only prominent Democrat in the stnte to come out op enly nnd forcefully for free silver. Jenks not only voted for McClellnn, as Mr. Evans, hnd stated, but was a member of tho convention that nom inated him and resolved that the war was a failure and stumped the north ern states In the Interest of the can didate nnd the platfrom, which had as a plank "the war was a failure." THE ONLY INSTANCE. Ho was also one of the lawyeis who represented the petition for the in junction against the draft and inci dentally Mr. Zimmerman remarked that this was about the only instance In Mr. Jenks legal career when ho np peared befoie tho supreme court for any client other than a corpoiatlon. How many people hero know who was last elected governor of Oregon? Mr. Zimmerman asked. Or horn many know the name of that state's single representative In congress who wns elected two weeks ago? Yet how the news In each Instance was flashed across tho continent that Oregon had stood by sound money! A'et the elec tion In Pennsylvania with Its popula tion of one-twelfth of tho whole un ion nnd Its thirty congressional dis tricts, lias no bearing on congressional affairs' Mr. Zimmerman closed with a re vlewal of the work accomplished by Hon. J. R. Farr and Hon. J. C. Vaugh an at Harrisburg and then made a plea for spport for the whole tocket. It was growing on to 10.30 o'clock when Mr. Zimmerman, who wns the fouith speaker, concluded so Mr. Farr and Mr. Thomas contented themselves with very brief remarks. politicaiTjottings. Attorney F. AV. Fleltz leturned yester day from a trip through Perry, Snyder and Union counties, where he dflUered n number of address. "Republicans of IhesH counties have n proper appreciation of this campaign," said Mr. Fleltz yes terday. "They realize that tho fight Is between Stone and Jenks, and that a voto for Swallow Is renlly a vote for Jenks. The Swallow sentiment in that part of tho Mato Is In consequence at a very low ebb.

Former Alleges That Clark Told Him It Would Bo All Right to Tap tho Flpo That Is Said to Havo Caused All tho Trouble This Statement Is Emphatically Denied Thero Is Also a Spirited Dispute About a Letter Board of Health to Have Another Meeting. Two questions remain to bo settled In tho No. 28 school Investigation: AVhom does tbo responsibility for tapping the sewer pipe rest upon? nnd, AVa the gas that escaped from the hole In tho pipe the cause of the epidemic? Charles Holer, a foreman In the em ploy of Conrad Schrocdor, admitted at Thursday night's investigation that he tapped the pipe, and he charged George AV. Clark, heating and ventilating en gineer for Hunt & Connell, with sug gesting to him that such would be as good a way ns any to get rid of the water In the air duct. Be it remem bered that Mr. Heler Is a brlcklaver. and supposing that Mr. Clark could not bo mistaken he acted upon the sug gestion. Mr. Claik was the first witness called last night, and not only did he em phatically deny llelei's assertion, but nlso said thnt he became furious when ho heard tho sewer pipe was tnpped. He went to Mr. Hunt nnd urged that a letter bo written protesting against this way of getting rid of tho water in the duct. The specifications of tho heating and ventilating contiact called for n tem po! nturc of 70 degrees in every room in tho building no mnttcr what the weather was. There were two upstairs looms In which tho temperature could not bo raised above CI degiees at the ordinary speed of the fan, because the water In the duct 1 educed tho space nnd volume of nlr thnt much less. AA'llllam Clcary, foreman In the Plumbing department of Hunt & Con nell, was examined but bis testimony served in no way to elucidate the ques tion ns to who Is the one responsible. MB. HUNT'S TESTIMONY. A. 12. Hunt asked thiough Attorney John F. Scrngg to be poimltted to tes tify. At Thursday night's session Mr. Hunt stated that last fall ho wrote a letter to Mr. Hchroeder about tho water In the duct. His attention was called to it by his steam-iltting engineer, he thought. Mr. Hunt hud learned that a suggestion to tap the sower pipe und let the water out wns made, and his nnswer was contained In that letter. Mr. Scragg asked him If he had a copy of the letter and he pulled from his pocket and read the following: Scranton, Pa., Dec. SI, 1SS7. Mr Conrnd Schrocdcr. Dear Sli . AVn notice tint at No. 13 and No. 2S school buildings in attempting to keep the water out ol tho hot nlr ducU, Mju nie making a direct communication from duct to sower. This, of course, will tako enro of tho water, but Is It not a dangerous tiling to do? It certainly Is d.inguioiis and against the city oidinn'nce. This woik nt ducts should be ho dono that the water docs not get Into tho duct. This Is what the original plan and sped llcatlons contemplated. Indeed, they nro very specific in repaid to this. If. however, the plan you aie adopting Is approved by Architect Duckworth, the boaid of cotitiol, nnd building Inspector, wo, of collide, will have to be quiet in rcgaid to the mutter, although It will to a dlsappolntncnt to us if tho ducts nie not made absolutely water light. If what you aro doing at the ducts at present Is considered only temporary ou should, nt least, havo n trap of 3-lnch pipe not less than 11 Inches deep, to overcome the air prehsuie In the ducts throwing the water from tiap to sewer. Yours very truly, A. E. Hunt, General Man.igor. AVROTE THE LETTER. Miss Myra R. Decker, stenographer and typewriter in the offlco of Hunt nnd Connell. was sworn and corrobor ated Mr. Hunt The letter wns dic tated to her and she forthwith copied It nnd piesentcd It to him for his sig nature. She could not swear positively to remembering the letter hut knows there was such a one, lis she found It nmong the flies. Mr. Schroeder, as on the preceding night, swore that no such letter wns received by him. Ho and his book keeper hunted for three hours through tho files and failed to find a record of It. Every business letter he receives Is filed away for reference. Moreover, he has no recollection of ever receiv ing the letter, and he swore positive ly that he would remember It now If It was received. Fred Heler, a brother of the man who tnpped tho pipe, sworo that ho saw his brother and Mr. Claike come out of the duct oneday. AVhen Mr. Clarke went away the witness was told by his brother the water would have to be got lid of by n trench to the sewer and that Mr. Claik thought It would be all light. Janitor Roberts was called by Mr. Scraggg to offset Mr. Ileler's testimony. The Janitor was asked It Mr. Heler, the fotemnn. had not gone to him after .Air. Clark had left and asked about the location of the sewer pipe. Foreman Heler sworo Thuisday night that Claik not only suggested this aH a good wuy to get rid of the water, but took tho pains to locate the sewer pipe for him. Tho Janitor tould not swear positively. Mr. Duckwoith, Superintendent of Repairs Harvey, and George Bull, an the other witnesses. EXPERT TESTIMONY. Architect Paul B. Belln wns called by Mr. AVelles to give expert testimony on sewer gas, based principally on Mr, Bella's visit to Paris; one of the scenes of interest in that center of fashion being boat rides In tho seweis. Tho main pipes are so largo that boats ply on tho murky waters of the sewers and yet the people who dally make this trip do not seem any the woise for their subterranean confinement for several hours. This wns for the pur pose of showing that sewer gas Is not so vllo after all. Mr. Jayne objected to tho Introduc tion of expert testimony on this sub Ject until tho "residents of the Thir teenth ward aro given tlmo to procure experts also. The hearing adjourned and the members of the board retired Into their private room to talk the matter over. Thero will be another meeting some night next week.

DOESN'T ADMIRE SHAFTER Burr Mcintosh Says the General De parted from the Truth in His Official Report Saw Fight ing nt San Juan Hill. Buir Mcintosh, who Is now filling nn engagement nt the Lyceum, Is one of tho men who can tell interesting stories nbout the fighting befoie San tiago. Ho was there In the capacity of a newspaper repot tcr nnd had the pilvllego of getting a snap shot with his camera of the llrst shot fired ngalnst the block houses on San Juan hill. He wns with a group of olllccrs close to tho point where the Grimes battery was stationed at El Poso hill when Genernl Shutter's adjutnnt observing that Geneial Law ton, who wan some distance away, scorned to have, some heavy lighting on his hands gave the older to bring tho guns Into action. This order wns at onco transmitted to Captain Grimes and by hlir to the man nt No. 1 gun. Mcintosh trained his enmera on the gun and succeeded In getting a very satisfactoiy photo graph. Fioni his position on El Poso hill, two miles fiom San Juan, Mcintosh raw the lighting as it progressed. He wns with Generals Sumner nnd Kent nnd by tnylng with them. If the plan of battle ngreed upon had been cat rled out, he would bo In tho thick of the fray most of the time. It was found Impossible to carry out the pre.iri.mged plans nnd the desper ate essault on San Juan hill became a necessity fot the troops who were to foim a Juncture with tho men of Sum ner and Kent. He was therefore com pelled to content himself with the view of tho light be obtained through a field glass much to his regret. It was nn Impressive sight ho declaies and on he will never forget. AVhlle near Grimes' battery when It was In notion n shell from a Spanish gun came sci earning towards the point where he stood with nn ominous, hiss ing sound. Fottunatelv It passed over his bend and exploded a short dis tance In the rear injuring two Cubans. Had It exploded while passing over where ho stood. Mcintosh, Colonel As tor, Richard Harding Davis and a number of othois who were standing close together watching the conflict would undoubtedly hao been killed. Mr. Mcintosh declares with much emphasis that General Shatter was not able to cope with the necessities of the hour before Santiago nnd that In addition to his manifest Incompetency he was a bore of the most obnoxious type. Ho says that General Shnfter got away from the truth In his of ficial report when he said he per sonally lode to tho camps of Gen erals Sumner and Kent and saw that the men of these commands weiv properly Intrenched in compliance with his orders. On tho day In qurrtlon General Shat ter nnd several of his staff were rid ing towards tho position of tho nbovo troops on El Poso hill. General Shat ter halted tho members of his staff at tho foot ot the hjll, lodo a little morn than half way up himself and then for some reason turned his hmse. rode back nnd Joineel his stuff nnd they gal loped off. There was some firing going on at tho time on tho other rido of the hill. That was Goreial Shatter's only visit to El Poso and then he did not even get a glimpse, of his A Good Set or Tcetli for... $3.00 Our Best Sets of Tcetli 5.01) Including the Painless Uxtractlon. DR.

On account of the peculiar for mation ot tho country thereabouts Mr, Mcintosh says It would be a physical Impossibility for Genernl Shafter to do anything of the kind. The chnrgo of San Juan hill ho re ferred to ns iv plecu of daring heroism, performed by men who saw thnt they must take that hill or perish where they stood. They could not tetrcat.
