Commissioner Thomas Had Some of His Men at Work Yesterday. Street Commissioner Thomas hid a force of men nt work ycstirdny clean ing tho winter's accumulation of dlit fiom some of the streets of tho Cen tral City. Many persons have expressed them selves recently to tho effect that never before In the city's history have tho paved stieets been In such a deplor ably illthy and vile condition ns they have- been for the past two weeks or more. A Tribune man took a walk down lower Lackawanna avenue yesterday afternoon for tho purpose of Investi gating a complaint received from that portion or the city. Always notablj for Us dirty streets, it has now reached a condition surpassing all previous records. It Is no exaggeration to say that In some places the refuse was piled up even with the rldownlks. And whnt doeks th's refuse consist of? some one ask. Fish hids, decayed fruit and vegetables' and many other things too disgusting to mention. This con glomerate mass exhnles an odor that lii tHisltlvelv nauseating to pasers by. Pome of the other paved streets in the Cential City have been and are In as bid a condition as regards the quantity, though not In nil Instances as regards the quality, of the dirt. m - TAKEN TO SHAMOKIN.

At the Meeting of the Members of the Lackawanna Bar Yesterday Morning a Resolution Was Adopt ed Requesting the Governor to Appoint a Democrat, and Follow ing This the Bar Declared Hon. John P. Kelly Its Choice for the Appointment. By nn almost unanimous secret bal lot, without nominations being pre viously mndp, tho Lackawanna bar yesterdny declared Hon. John I Kelly to bo Its choice for additional law judge, to fill tho vacancy caused by the death of Judge V. W. Gunster, A resolution offoted by ex-Judge 1'. N. Willard was flist adopted sotting forth that It was the sense of the bar that n Democrat should bo appointed, and on motion of ex-Judge W. H. Jcssup tho seciet ballot was taken to secuio an expression of tho bar tn.u would indicate to tho governor its sentiment as to tho proper Democrat to fill tho place. The vote was: Hon. John P. Kelly, 98; Oeotge S. Horn, 7; S. II. Price, 15, and J. W. Carpenter, 1. A resolution offered by Major T. F. Tenman committing the ba. tn tho policy that no opposition should be offered to n well behaved, competent judge seeking re-election was defeatcdi but later n resolution offered by Hon. C. P. O'Malloy was adopted pledging the bar to tho precedent of mlnotlty repiescntatlcn established by the pres ent Instance. Tho attendance at the meeting was so unusually large that It was neces sary to adjourn It from the Hbtary, for which place It was originally railed, to the more spacious nnd conveniently appointed superior coutt room. liven this loom was not latgo enough to accommodate tho attendance, many being required to stand during the whole hour and ten minutes the meet ing was in progress, though there vvcr none present save members of tho bar nnd newspaper men. JUDGE WILLABD'S BUSOLUTIOX. After announcing the purpose of the meeting as contained In tho call issued by ex-Supreme Court Justice Alfred Hand, ex-Superior Court Judge V. N. Willard and ex-Judge W. II. Jessup, tho chaliman of the Par association, James II, Tnrrey, called for sugges tions as to tho method of procedure1, whereupon ex-Judge Willard, with n few perfunctory remains, presented the following lesolutlon, with a motion for Its adoption: Whereas, Uy the death of Judge Fred erick W. (Itiiitc r a vacancy exists on tho bench of this county, and Whereas, Tho two Judges now upon tho bench me both llepubllcanb In politics; nnd Whereas, Ily tho fundamental law, mi. norlty rtiiiisrntatlou on tho bench is recognized as jut and ilpht. Kis-olvcd, Tint It Is tho seii'o of this meeting of tho bar of Lackawanna coun ty that a number of til's bar and a Dem nci.it in politic. Mioiild be appointed ly tho governor of this commonwealth to till the vaca'icv. ltesolved, That n copv of these resolu tions be forvvaided to Governor William A. Stone. Rlchatd Holmnn Holgate was the llrst to take tho lloer. Ho was against the resolution. Tho Democrats had had vnrlous opportunities of establish ing this graceful precedent, he said, but had religiously failed to take ad vantage of it. The matter of a non-partisan Judiciary was, at all events, a llctlon, ho argued. Ho moved to lay the resolution on the table. John B. Colllngs was likewise "agin" It. "There Is no such thing." he de clared, "as a non-partisan judiciary. Even If you do inject a Democratic judge into tho make-up of the bench you don't make it non-partisan. You only vnry the partisanship. You have two Republican judges and one Demo cratic Judge." MR. COL-LINGS' IDEA. Mr. Colllngs, ns a Democrat, did not want the Bar association or any like body to dictate the nomination that the Demociats would be called upon to make in the course of a year. "Let Governor Stone appoint a Republican and next year wo Democrats will line up for some man who will defeat him. It can't be that all the available Judicial timber In the Republican ranks has been exhausted. Is it all Incorporated In Judges Archbald nnd Edwards' As a Democrat and a par tisan Democrat, I don't want a Demo crat to bo appointed Judge by the gov ernor. Bevvaio of the gift-bearing Greeks. "We have honest and capable Dems crats and honest and capable Repub lleansn few, (Laughter and groans.) When the time for electing comes let them lino up their best men and flsht It out. "Tho giareful thing to do," Mr. Col llngs sugestcd, "would bo to appoint John Ounfcter to till In the inteilm. It would be an apptoprlate tribute to tho memory of his rovered and lamented father. You will say peihaps ho la too oung. Xapoleor conquered the world at thirty. Gtay heads and wt Inkles don't nlwavs bilng wisdom. I'm speaking from personal exper ience." (Laughlet). nx-JuBtlce Hand followed with a thoughtful though btlef speech. "Mr. Colllngs Is right," he went on to say. IContlmied on Pago 10 Fruit Sale California Navels 15c Per Doz Up.

LITTLE NEGRO AT HOSPITAL. A Tiny Black Child Who Is Very Popular at the Lackawanna. A new-comer who entered tho chil dren's ward at tho Lackawanna hospi tal Monday has caused a great dcat of commotion in that usually quiet Institution and has taken the hearts of everybody in the place by storm. Ho is a 3-year-old, happy looking, black-ns-coal plckannlny, rejoicing In the name of Harold Hammond. The child Is a healthy, lively looking little fellow, but suffering from nn allllctlon preventing him from wnlklng and effecting him In other ways. Ho has made a great hit with everybody In the place. When ho was first broucht Into tho ward tho other llttlo ones held rather aloof fiom him. On his being put Into the cot of one of the seniors of the ward, a youth of five ycats, tho latter drew his blankets tightly around him and with a supercilious remark that "nil coons looked allko to him," turned his back on the tiny Ethiopian. Another little fellow, gazed intently nt the somber hue of his new comrade nnd remarked: "If that baby sleeps In the same room wo do, we'll nil be turning black. No slrce!" Now, however, tho llttlo Harold reigns supremo as the monarch of tho chlldtcn's vvnrd, and with the possible exception of tho dethroned ruler, a fellow known ns "Freddy," has put himself on a most friendly footing with nil his comrades. He Is tho youngest negio ever admitted to tho hospital, and proves ono of tho best children ever treated at that Institution. FILLING OLD WORKING. Delaware and Hudson Company Is Using Its Coal Dust to Good Ad vantage to Several Collieries. The Delaware and Hudson company have adopted the rather unique plan of filling up with culm the nbindonel veins In their mines thtnughoul th valley. By this means "two birds aro killed with one stone," Inasmuch as tho waste culm Is got rid of and tho abandoned workings are filled up, pre venting cavo-lns. Th5 plan Is nt present In operation at tho VonStorch mines In North Scranton, and nt the Grassy Island mines In Olyphant. It will bo used In tho near future at tho Olyphant mines, the I.eggett's Creek and tho Baltimore shafts, Nos. 1 nnd 2. nt Wilkcs-Barrp. Tho plan of operation Is very Inter esting. A bcre hole about a foot in diameter Is flist bored through Into the vein to be filled and through It Is put nn eight-Inch pipe. At the bottom this pipe Is continued to whatever especial point It Is desired to fill up, ho that the lining In process Is confined to that particular point. It has been found that the rcfusj matter must be fine In older to pack well, so a small ci usher Is erected near the mouth of the pipe. After passing thiouph this iuher the culm is car ried by a powerful stream of water down thintigh the pipe into the mtn- Tho mannir in which it packs Itself into tlio MiiaUet Intel btlces Is tiuly wondciful, nnd It makes Just as firm a lining us the coal itwlf. Tho water chains away tn tho other portions of the mine and Is pumped out by the regulation mining pumps. The process Is slow, but nevertheless effectual, and though first adopted only ns an oxpeiiment l.y tho company, It has now been decided to continue It permanently. XEHIGH VALLEY SURGEONS.

Thete and like sounds comlnir from the billllnntly Illuminated rooms of the Hotel Terrace last night caused many a passerby to wonder what festive oc casion was In progress. It wns the ninth annual banrtuet of the Lehigh University club. Thli Is nn organisation, entirely different from the Alumni association, nnd Is of a social nature. The offlcers of the club are: A. B. Leister, of Scranton, presi dent; H. H. Stoek, of Scranton, vice president, nnd C. E. Straw, of Wllkes Barre, secretary and treasurer. At 7.30 o'clock last evening the company sat down to dinner, an excellent repast being served. Among the prominent guests present weie: Dr. Thomas Drown, president of Lehigh university; Prof. W. II. Dean, 'Sfi, of Harry Htllman academy In Wllkes-Barre, nnd F. P. Howe, of Philadelphia, president of the North Branch Steel company. Congressman Bufus K. Polk, of Danville, was also expected but was unable to come. IMPnOMPTU TOASTS. Duting tho courses of the evening, Impromptu toasts were answered to by vnrlous of the guests, who were called upon by Toastmaster W. H. Butler, of Mauch Chunk, president of the Alumni association of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Both Mr. Howe and Dr. Diown icsponded to toaits. "Lehigh Unlverslt" wns the theme on which all the addresses vveto founded nnd their nlma mater was the fertile sub ject upon which many eloquent re marks wero made. Dr. Diown. In the course of his speech, spoko of tho Increase in tho number of students in tho university since tho last annual meeting of tho club. Tho freshman clas Is not only one of the largest that has ever en tered, but It is also ono of the very highest scholarships. This Indicates that tho high schools of tho middle states, from vv hich are draw n the lar gest proportion of our students, are doing bettor work ear by year, nnd also contiadlcts tho Impression that raising the requirements for admission causes a falllng-off In the number of students. The new course In mailnc engineer ing was a notable and timely addi tion to the curriculum of the university nnd one likely to attract a considerable number of students. There had also been added a full and Independent course In geology which had hitherto been taught In connection with the course In mining engineering. INCREASE OF STUDENTS. President Drown dwelt also on the gratlfjlng Increase In tho number of students In the classical and Latin scientific departments which are des tined In the future to occupy a more prominent place In the university. The trustees have recently authorized the granting of tho A. B. degree to stu dents of the I.atln-sclentlflc course, which has been strengthened by the addition of more modern languages to replace tho Greek and also by the ad dition of a large number of electlves In science. In conclusion President Drown said that with the earnest work of the pio fessors nnd students in tho university and the loyal and generous suppoit of tho alumni the prospects of the unl vctslty wero never brighter. The rooms were handsomely dec orated with flovvets and plants, and music was furnished by Lawrence's orchestra. Those piesent weie: Scranton J. W. Benurnont, 'M; J. J.
