Eloction Is to Be Held Saturdsy. An election Is to bo held Saturday In Old FoiRe boi migh to select the first pot of otllccrs for that municipality. Knur tickets have been placed In nom ination and today the court will ho asked to declare at least one of the puts of candidates void. Attorne It. II. Holpate will, this morning, file exceptions to the certifi cate of nomination of the Republican imity. filed with the county controls Hinnors yesterday. The candidates named In this docu ment arc: Itutgcss, Andrew Kennedy: school directors, Robert Johnson, John K. Uook. John Remmer, Lewis Poppl, Andrew Hoover, Gcorwo Fletcher; councllmon, Thomas Stephens, Robert Stoff, William Chios, James Tubbs, iVntonla Rrancardl, Isaac Daw and Philip SwnrlK. The caucus nt which these candi dates were nominated was held Tues day nlfjht and is nlleRCd to have been conducted by Morris Hollander and AVIlllam RainbridKe. The certificate will be attacked In the objections llled today, on the ground that these men wore nctlnp as tho vigilance commit tee of the First district of Old I'onjo township and therefore had no rlfjht to call a convention or caucus of the Re publican voters of Old Forge borough. The certificate Is held to be Invalid for thf reason that it does not contain the addresses, of the candidates, and for the further reason that the name of Morris Hollander, which is signed to the certificate, is a forgery. It Is al leged that he had nothing whatever to do with the caucus or the preparation of the certificate of nomination. The court will probably direct a hearing forthwith In the yue. Tho election Is to be held Saturday and it will be necessary to dispose of the case nt once to give them sufficient time to prepare the official ballots. Up to last night the commissioners had not been officially notified that a special eloction ! to be held In Old Forge borough Sat urday.

Never before in the history of Buf falo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders has Us success been so pronounced as during tho present sea son. This can be accredited In a meas- uhe to the unique? general, characteris tic of the entire entertainment, which Is in every respect different from any other show presented to the public. One strong feature which has added materially to the drawing qualities of the exhibition Is the timely pro duction of the battle of San Juan Hill. Colonel Cody (Buffalo Hill) is as ac tive In his part of the exhibition as ever before and hlH every appearance In tho arena Is a signal for largo ex pression of approval from all parts of the house. The sharp shooting of Johnnie Baker and Annie Oakley, the rough riding of the Cossacks and sol diers, the tumbling and pyramid build ing of the Arabs, the lasso throwing of the Mexicans, the bolas pitching of the Gauchos, the "broncho busting" of the cowboys, the peculiar peace and war methods of the Indians, all re main interesting items of the program and are, If possible, better this season than ever 'oefore. The Wild West and Rough Riders v-' 1 rii'e performances In this city on May 22, afternoon and evening. TEE ELKS' MINSTRELS. Somo of the Foature3 of the Notable Performance. Charles Hartley, the well known ven triloquist, who has been traveling throughout tho United States, playing at the very best theaters In this coun try, is now home and will appear at the Klks' minstrels together with all his paraphernalia used In his act wher ever ho has appeared at these high- class vaudeville theaters. There will be several other very strong slnglo specialties produced in the olio of this great big show. One of which will cause aa much merriment as anything will be the prize cake walk, In which some very well known people will par ticipate. John J. Loftus nnd V. A. Slm rell are a couple who will walk for this prize and they think that they have about the best chance of win ning. They are probably two of the most graceful people in connection with the show. You don't want to miss this, it Is worth the price of admission. The auction sale of the private boxes and loges at the Lyceum theater tomorrow afternoon nt 4 o'clock Is creating a, groat amount of interest and that tho bidding will be spirited and without re gard of price Is an assured 1'acU MEETING OF BOARD OF TRADE. Important Matters That Aro to Come Before It. The regular monthly meeting ot tho Scranton Board of Trade will be held Monduy evening, May 15, ut 8 o'clock. Among other important matters' to come before the meeting will be the question ot the advisability of chang ing the charter of Scranton from a third to a Becond class city. If, prior to the time of this meet ing there Is not some definite action taken by the proper city otllclals, to wurd repairing the paved streets, a citizens' meeting will be held instead of tho regular board session, to which all interested persons are invited, when this grave question, so vital to the city's welfare, can bo discussed nnd a vigorous protest entered against the continuance of the evil. STOLE RAIiE OLD COINS. Jamoo Fostor, Aped Twelve Years, Arrested for the Offense. Jnmcs Foster, a boy of 12 years of age, was committed to the county jail yesterday by Alderman Howe In de fault of $300 ball. It Is alleged that Monday afternoon while the rtremen and polico were on parade Foster en tered Kelsel's steamship ofllce on Up per I.achnwanna avenue, nnd stole old coins valued nt $1. Patrolman Peters arrested the lad Tuesday and placed him in the cen tral p'dlce station.

THEY WILL BUILD PROPOSED SEWER DONOHOE & O'BOYLE ARE WILL ING TO TAKE CHANCES. Money to Pay City's Sharo of tho Cost of tho Sower Has Not Boon Provided, hut tho Contractors Will Proceed Novortheloss Controller Howell Positivoly Refuses to Cor tlfy Any More Contracts Under Similar Conditions Pavo May Bo Laid Without Waiting for Sowers. A statement published yeBtcrday to tho effect that Donahoe & O'Royle would not proceed with the North Main avenue, "Providence t'oad nnd Phllo street sewer until tho city's share of tho expense hud been actually ap propriated Is branded as absolutely without foundation by tho firm In ques tion. James O'Royle, the Junior member of tho firm, when Interviewed by City Engineer Phillips yesterday stated that they are working energetically on tho arrangements for stai ting the work nnd that It would be commenced at tho earliest date possible. The money for the city's share of this work, as In the case of tho various other projected sewers, is only nom inally appropriated. That Is, the ord inance under which the sewer is to be constructed contains a clause load ing: "That $1S,000 or as much thereof as Is necessary Is hereby appropriated." Tiie actual appropriation, however, was not provided for In the annual esti mates ordlnnnce and because of this the controller de'lnctl to certify the contract. At tho t-nlleltution of the contractors und tho councllmen of the North End. Controller Howll waived his objections in this particular case and gave his certification to the con tract. There Is a question as to wheth er or not the controller ninda himself personally liable for the city's share of the cost, in case the councils ne glect to make provision for it in the next estimate? ordinance or b a SDCclal appropriation bill. Controller Howell Is not disposed to take uny further risk and has unquall fed'y announcer, thac he will not cer tify nny more contracts under tho same conditions. When this Information was commun icated to Select Councllmen Ross and Finn, of the First and Second wards respectively, they waited on City En gineer Phillips nnd urged him to pro ceed with the pave regardless of the sewers. Mr. Phillips is inclined to do so. TROIKA DRIVING. A Russian Sport That Is Novel and Exhilarating. From tho Woman's Home Companion. We wero promised our first Russian experience In the shape of a troika ride. A trollm is ,a superb affair. It makes the tiny sledges, which take the place of cabs, and are used for all or dinary purposes, look oven more Uko toys than usual. But the sledges are great fun, and so cheap that it t an extravagance to walk. A coun-e costs only twenty kopecks ten cents. Tho pledges are set so low that you can reach out and touch the snow with your hand, and they are so small that the horse Is in your lap and tho coachman in your pocket. He simply turns in his seat to hook the fun robe to the back of your seat only It has no back. If you fall, you fall dear to the ground. The horso is far, far above you In your humble position, and there is co little room that two pc .jIo can with difficulty stow themselves In tho nar row seat. If a brother and sister or a husband and wife drive together, the man, in sheer self-dc-fense, is obliged to put his arm around the woman, no matter how distasteful It may b. Not that she would ever be conscious ot whether he did it or not. for the amount of clothes ono is obliged to wear in Russia destroys any sense of touch. The horses are sha.'p-shod, but in a way quite different from ours. The spikes on their shoes uro an inch long and dig Into the ice with perfect se curity, but it makes the horses look ns If they wore French heids. Even over Ice like sheer glass they go at a gallop nnd never slip. It is wonder ful, und tho exhlllration of it is like driving through air charged with champagne, like the wine caves of Rintz. Driving in the country wo could not tell how fast we were going. Rut in town, whizzing past other car riages, hearing the shouts of the idvos Jlk, "Troika," and seeing the people scatter and the sledges turn out (for a troika has a right ot way), we real ized at what puce we were going. Re fore we reached home we saw a Rus sian tire engine. We passed It In a and following It were live other sledges, carrying hogsheads of water. After that drive I thought I know Just how It felt to ride on a lire en gine.

Another Chapter in Piques We do not recall a season when price-dropping in Cotton Goods began so early. Price cuts are frequently heard of in June and July, when the demand for light stuffs begins to slacken, but to enjoy them now at the very time the buying is at its best, is almost without precedent. No matter, let the manufacturers bury their own losses and sing cheir own requi ems.
