NEW IDEAS IN DENTISTRY.
Dr. Snpp's Wonderful Invention Will
Soon Be Placed on the Market.
Ainor.fr the new tlilnRs In dentistry
limy bo mentioned the ingenious de
vices recently Invented by a member ot
a well known dental firm of this city.
Dr. C. C. sSupp, ot the dental firm of
Papp & McQraw, 134 Wyoming ncnue,
is the inventor of a set of Instruments
especially designed for crown nnd
liiid'j work and nisi, to lo used to
Brent ndvnntagre In mc-kln? tecth.whlch
excel all previous modem Inventions
In onu particular that attlllclnl tooth
mtj Riven the appearance ot tho work
ot natui-o so much so that they can
not bo detected from the natural teeth.,
ThU Is cm thlnir In dentistry which
the profession havo been worklnu to
overcome for years.
Another great feature to be consid
ered Is the fact that the Instruments
arts time and labor savers and work ot
some kinds which heretofcre has re
quired hour to accomplish, with the
life of Dr. Snpp's Invention, can now
be done In as many minutes and with
more satlsfaetory results. Dr. Sapp h.is
made application for patents ard ex
pects to have the Instruments pro
tected by law Jn the emu-be of a tew
days and then they will be placed on
the market. Dr. Sapp has the well es
tablished reputation of being the best
crown and bridge workman in the
state and In 1S87 he received ;i Gold
medal for a prize award for the best
gold work against iltty-one competit
ors nt Baltimore. His work also re
ceived ilrst prize at several fairs dur
ing the last season.
Doctors Sapp & JIcGraw have been
remarkably successful since opening
their handsome parlors on Wyoming
avenue, and by the careful attention to
wants of patrons as well as the excel
lence of their work, have built up a
thriving business. The firm Is to be
congratulated on their progress and
genius.

ORGILL-ELLIOTT
SHOOTING AFFRAY
WAS TRIED BEFORE JUDGE
AROIIBALD YESTERDAY.
Had Been Hanging Fire for Over a
Year and Several Times Was on
tho Vergo of Settlement Reed
Found Guilty of Attempting to
Burglarlzo P. F. and M. T. How
ley's Storehouse Verdicts of
Guilty Returned Against Mrs.
Flora Kimball, Alias Wade.
After hanging Hip for oer a year
anil being: H"Virnl times on the vergo
of settlement tin- felonious wounding
case or iionort j'iiiou against jonti
Orglll was called for trial yesterdav ;
before Judge Archbald. Patrolman
Flnlny Ross appeared as nominal pros
ecutor. The principals are old time neigh
bors tind were virtually life long
friends. On the night of Nov. 4. 181'T,
they were In Ben Davis' hotel In Prov
idence having one of their customary
games of dominoes. They forgot them
hclves ho far us to take a tablespoonful
too much and as Is often the conse
quence in such cases got Into n dis
pute. Hot words were exchanged and
Anally the men faced each other in a
threatening manner.
Peacemakers Intervened nnd the bl
lUerents More Induced to swallow
their enmity nnd a glass ot ale. Or
glll had downed his enmity and was
taking his ale for a wash when El
liott, who had Mulshed his nle but was
unable to stomach the enmity, struck
hint over tho eye.
JuEt Mhat followed Is not clear but
when the two men were dragged apart
Elliott was found to have been stabbed
in the abdomen. Crglll admits he did
the stabbing but says that the blood
from the wound on the forehead blind
ed him and believing that Elliott had
used a weapon on him, drew his own
knife and struck out to defend him
self. V'Ol'XD WAS SKRIOt'S.
The wound was a very serious one
and for a time It was feaied Elliott
would die. He recovered, however,
after a couple ot months' nursing and
considered overtures for a settlement.
No agreement could be reached and the
efforts of settlement fell through. The
jury In the -ase was out at adjourn
ment. Joseph Anderson, Thomas Ryan and
John Reed were tried before Judge
Herring on the charge of breaking into
the warehouse of P. F. and M. T. How
ley, on the night of September "O. UitS.
A sound of breaking glaps attracted a
neighbor and an Investigation discov
ered a man prowling about the ware
house. Word was telephoned to police
headquarters and in short order a
squad of olllccrs were on the scene.
Reed was found Just outside a re
cently broken window of the ware-hous-e
and tho other two were picked
up In the Immediate vicinity. All were
typical specimens of the genun hobo,
but the latter two denied stoutly that
Reed was In their set or even that they
had the 'honor of his acquaintance.
Heed admitted this, but the police de
cided to let a jury pass upon the ques
tion. Tho Jury believed this, but a
knife with a putty-soiled and broken
pointed blade found on Reed's person
caused them to doubt his claim of In
nocence and the verdict was guilty as
to Reed, but not guilty as to Anderson
and Ryuu.
Sirs. Amelia Smith, who keeps n hotel
on South Washington avenue, charged
Anthony Nnllln, of the South Side, with
having entered her place and beat her,
on Oct. 15 last, but the jury only halt
believed her and said not guilty: costs
divided.
MAT.lCIOl'S MISCHIEF.
Hugh I.ynott was charged before
Judge Herring with malicious mischief.
In throwing a stone at the house of
William McNamara, of Providence, anil
breaking several panes of glnw. The
defendant set up an alibi.
A Jury was out at adjournment pass
ing upon the case of Alice Conway,
charged with living at No. IS Lacka
wanna avenue.
A nol pros upon payment of costs was
entered In the case of Arthur J. Wall,
charged with assault and battery on
James J. Nealls.
A verdict of guilty was1 returned yes
terday morning against Flora Kimball,
alias Wade, alias Cole, charged with
having alienated the affections of Mrs.
W. H. Cole's husband.
Peter Sweeney was brought In guilty
of the charge of stealing a horse and
carriage from Gorman ,i Co. The jury
recommended mercy.
In the assault and battery case of
Patilek Carey against Edward Early,
the jury returned a verdict of not guilty
and divided the costs.

MAYOR BAILEY'S REFUSAL.
Did Not Prevent Attorneys from
Getting Their Information.
Mayor Bailey's refusal to permit the
Alcatraz Paving company to have ac
cess to tho asphalt repair bids In his
possession has not kept the company's
attorneys from securing the Informa
tion. The particulars of the proposals
were obtained from select council's
minute book.
Clerks In the employ of tho Alcatraz
company attorneys were yesterday In
the city clerk's ofllce making copies of
the speclllcatlono and other papers In
what the company alleges was an Ille
gal asphalt pavement repair contract
award to the Bather Paving company.
Mayor Bailey supports his refusal to
give access to the original proposals, by
saying that tho proposals are a part of
the resolution awarding the contract
and that ho has fifteen days, according
to law, In which to sign or veto the
reHolutlon or let It become operative
without his approval. Meanwhile, all
the papers aie his, he says, according
to law.

BACHELORS' BALL
PLANS ARE MADE
EVERYTHING READY FOR THE
DIG SOCIETY EVENT.
It Will De Given In tho Lyceum
Theater Erldny Night, Dec. 30.
Committee of Five Well Known
Young Men Has Made Its Con
tracts for Music, Supper, Decora
tions, Etc. There Will Be an Ex
tensive Revision of the Invitation
List New Floor and More Boxes.
The Bachelors' ball might be given
tonight (to far ua the anangements for
the big annual social event are con
cerned. The committee hns put In
more hard early work than has any
committee of previous years and hns
closed till contracts which have to do
with the affair.
Although the Invitation list has been
relieved of scores ot names, the In
dications are that there will bo as
many dancers and spectators as In for
mer years, as the names expunged are
those of persons who were sent Invita
tions simply out of courtevsy nnd Ut
th. request of well known patrons.
The ball will be given at tho Ly
ceum theater on the night of Friday,
Dec. 30. Oppenhelm's orchestra, of
Wllkes-Barre and Bauer's band will
supply the music. The decorations will
be by Slebecker nnd Wntklns, Clark,
the ilorlst, and Fuhrmnn. Holland,
of Germantown, will cater. The com
mittee la composed of Paul U. Belln,
chairman; John II. Brooks, F. C. Ful
ler, Worth Scranton und A. E. Hunt,
Jr.
Following are the names of the pat
roness2s: Mrs. James Archbald, Mrs.
Henry Belln, jr., Mr. C. II. Welles,
Mrs. A. D. Ulncklnton. Mrs. E. B.
Sturges. Mrs. H. L. Fuller, Mrs. C. S.
Weston. Mrs. Everett Warren, Mrs. E.
B. Jermyn and Mrs. J. B. DImmlck.
NEW FLOOR MADE.
At a cost of from $150 to $173 a danc
ing floor, practically now, will be made
to leplace the floor used for the balls
of previous years. The old lloor, which
was never llrst class, became worse
after each year's use until It became
a cause of real protest from the dan
cers. AVhllo the crash, of course, les
sened Its unevenness, It lacked firm
ness and because so uneven on Its sur
face that the committee has decided to
make the floor for the coming ball ab
solutely perfect. It Is one of the ball
preparations for which no contract will
b- let; the new floor will be construct
ed under the personal supervision of
member.s of the committee.
Tho Invitations will be Issued next
Friday or Saturday, the luth or lfith.
Aside from the "courtesy" names al
ready mentioned, chiefly, of persons
from out of town, there will also be
drop) ed the names of many Scrnnton
people whose presence had been ex
pected at the balls of the past, but
whose presence has always been lack
ing. In place ot all these dropped
names there will be new ones, both
of Scranton people and of people who
reside out of the citv.
With each ball there has been a
pronounced realization that the enor
mous expenses could never have been
met but for the attendance of neisons
from abroad. Now that the ball, al
ways known and talked about outside
the city, has come to such groat prom
inence, the patronage of other than
Scranton people will be largely rolled
upon to assure the promoters against
a deficit.
TO CONSTRUCT BOXES.
Quite a source of revenue will be ob
tained from the sale ot twelve extra
boxes. They will be erected on the
stage, six on a side, but will not en
croach on the dancing space. In such
a large hall It has been observed that
many groups of dancers, spectators
and chaperons prefer to congregate
separately In the seats of tho orchestra
circle or elsewhere within ready access
to the dancing floor. For this purpose
tho regular boxes have not been whol
ly suitable. It is believed, on this ac
count, that the extra boxes will And
a ready sale, it does not mean exclu
slveness, for a general mlnuilng could
not be expected among a jam of five or
six hundred persons.
There will be no cessation In the mu
sic. As soon as the band or orchestra
has finished a selection the other will
begin. The onlv stops will be thp few
seconds necessary for the leaders of thu
two music organizations to get their
respective plnyers started, so from the
first sound of the Instruments early In
the night there will be a swing of mu
sic, until the close of the last dance
number.
Finally, to those acquainted with tho
ball" gone by nnd who know of all the
detailed plans for the approaching one.
there comes the belief that after tho
L night of the 30th those who will havo
been privileged to attend will give a
verdict that the ball "was the best of
them all."
OTHEIt HOLIDAY EVENTS.
