TO CARRY DISPUTE
INTO THE COURT
FOUR TICKETS NOMINATED IN
OLD FORGE BOROUGH.
Ono Bet of Candidatos Has Boon
Certified to tho County Commis
sioners as Having Been Nominated
at a Republican Caucus Excep
tions Will Be Filed Today to the
Certificate of Nomination Reasons
Why It Is Alleged to Be Illegal.
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. Ap Republican candidatos on nomin
ation papers the following have
been certified to the commission
ers: Rurgess, "Wesley Johnson: school

AN ETHNOLOGICAL CONGRESS.
Rough Riders from Everywhere and
a Host of Military Heroes.
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. At tho hearing
yesterday he acknowledged Ills guilt
und stated ho sold the coins to a pea
nut stand proprietor on Lackawanna
avenue for fruit. The money wus re
turned when the polico called for It.

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. Easy to Take

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. The feminine public, out shopping for exactly such fab
rics as these, cares little for precedents or theories in the pres
ence of these facts.
