Dr. Mackcy is the present member from the district and wants to Minced himvelf. There me a large number u( voters, however, who believe that the Ma key taint should be removed from the district anil the best way to un this Is to retire the man of medicine to private life.

City Engineer Phillips Believes It Will Be . Several Months Be fore Work Is in Progress. Bids for the opening of Wyoming avenue, between Olive and Ash streets, will soon be advertised for, and It Is expected that work on the Improve ment will be in progress eaily In the summer. The only hindrance at present Is the fact that all of the abutting propetty owners on each side ot the right ot way through which the street will pass have not yet filed releases from dam ages which may be caused by grading. The ordinance providing for the grad ing of the street was passed without Hist having a petition of release signed by such property owners. To remedy this defect, City Solicitor Vosburg recently drew up such a peti tion and It Is now being circulated by Interested persons. The latter have secured the signatures of all but two or three, who are somewhat obstinate, but they hope to overcome their ob jections In a few days. As soon ns this petition has been signed by all, the city clerk will Im mediately advertise for bids for the opening and grading of the street. In the meantime, In pursuance of the pro visions of u resolution recently passed by councils, the street commissioner and tho joint public buildings commit tee of councils will sell tho houses and all other property upon the right of way, and just here Is where a delay Is expected to come In. Theie aro five or six bouses which are directly on the right of way and as many others only partly projecting upon it. The houses entirely upon It must be sold, and then either torn down or moved, while tho property owners whose buildings only partly project will have to be given a reason able length of time In which to move them off. This will piobably consume the bet ter part of three or four months. City Engineer Phillips says that when once all buildings and obstructions are re moved, the actual work of grading can be done In one month easily. He says, however, that ho does not expect the street will bo opened until Septembr, at the earliest. Court having confirmed the vlewcts' awaid of $53,000 last week, the city is now Indebted In that sum to the prop erty owners whose property Is con demned. This confirmation makes the debt a judgement against the city, which will be paid some time In the future out of the Judgements nnd Inci dentals account nnd which will In the meantime draw 6 per cent, interest. It Is probable that an effort will soon be made to have a bond Issue to pay off tho accumulating Judgements against the city, the yearly appropriation made for this purpose being entirely Inade quate. Judgements draw 6 per cent. Interest, whereas city bonds draw only four, hence there Is a great advantage in issuing the latter, tho promoters of the Idea say. The officers of the Colliery Knglneer company aro Interesting themselves greatly In the opening of tho street, on account of the Immense printing plant they will erect upon It during the sum mer. They have purchased some of the property on both sides of the street, on which It Is understood they will erect buildings of a character commensur ate with the importance of the street. Just as soon as the street Is opened a sewer will be constructed upon It, as provided by an ordinance recently signed by the mayor. DIED OF HEART DISEASE. Coroner's Jury So Decided in Caso of Allan P. McDonald. Coroner J. J. Roberts last evening held an Inquest at tho ofllco of the Pennsylvania Coal company, at Iacka wannu, to inquire into the cause of the) death of Allan P.

THIRTEENTH BOYS RECIEVE BADGES MARKSMANSHIP HONORS GIVEN OUT LAST NIGHT. Event Took Place In tho Armory and Was Preceded by a Short Street Parade Badges Distributed by Old Officers of the Regiment Chaplain Pierce, U. S. A., Gave nn Address, in Which He Had Some Bitter Things to Say of Those Who Malign the Soldiers. Probably the most Inspltlng and sue. cessfully carried out military event which has taken place In this city In many years was the public distribution of marksmen's badges In the armory last night to those members of the eight city companies of the Thirteenth regiment who have gained the right during the paBt year to wear them. Promptly at 8.30 o'clock the eight companies, which had previously been formed on Adams avenue, stnrted nt the sound of a bugle call and marched over the ptlnclpal streets of the central city, which were well lined with citi zens, the majority of whom nlways de light In seeing soldiers on the march. The lino was headed by Colonel Wat res and tho staff officers on horseback. After these came Bauer's band, the members In their now military uni forms. This was their first nppearanca as the regimental band, and they were greeted with approval all along the line of march. After the band came tho eight companies, and the boyB marched with a vim nnd a dash that would do credit to regulars. In the meantime, the friends of tho ofTlcers and men, to the number ot flOO, were filing Into the armory, the seating arrangements of which had been lim ited to that number In order to allow plenty of space for the troops. A plat form had been erected on the centre ot the southerly side of the armory nnJ on each side of this the seats were placed, leaving the entire northerly hulf vacant for the soldiers. ON THE PLATFORM. Seated upon the platform were Col onel E. H. nipple, Major Everett War ren, Captain W. A. May, Mayor James Molr, Charles Von Storch, Major W. S. Millar, Itev. Dr. S. C. Logan, A. V. Dickson, Rev. Robert F. Y. Pierce and Captain Charles C. Pierce. U. S. A., chaplain, under General McArthur. Colonel F. L. Hitchcock presided nnd after the soldiers had filed In und stretched themselves In four blue lines along the entire length of the building, he made a few opening remarks, In which he referred to the fact that the whole system of rifle practice used throughout the country at the present time originated right here In Pennsyl vania, through the efforts ot the pres ent commander, Colonel L. A. Watres. He then Introduced Chaplain Pierce, who made the address of tho evening. The chaplain, after paying a splendid tribute to the part played In the Phil ippine campaign by the Tenth Penn sylvania, and after referring to the fact that the men should feel proud of receiving marksmen's badges honestly earneM, plunged Into a bitter arraign ment of those Americans who belittle the work of the United States troops in the Philippines, and who speak with holy horror of the awful effects which they claim have followed the Ametl can flag In tho east. He said, among other things: "If there Is anything that makes me lighting mad, and sets my head all aflame It Is the slurs cast upon our sol diers at present serving In the Philip pines by a portion of the public press of this country and from certain so called citizens who are the last to go to war, but the first to talk abemt things which they do not take the time to Inform themselves on. "I have yet to see the regiment that has any reason to feel ashamed, of Its conduct. These people say that our soldiers are debauching the pure-minded Filipinos; that they are carrying over the American saloon and that they are sowing the seeds of Irrellglon wnere before all was peace. What Infinite rot and rubbish! ABOUT THE SALOONS. "These people say that theie were only two drinking places In the city of Manila when tho United States troops entered. I want to say right hero that the man who says that Is either a liar or an Ignoramus. A resolution was recently Introduced In the senate whlen I think was the most dishonest one ever presented In that body. It called upon the secretary of war to inform the sen ate as to how many American and English saloons were In Manila when the United States troops arrived and now. "The Intention of that resolution was to give the Impression that General Otis deliberately carried the American saloon to debauch the natives. What a libel and a calumy! I'll tell you something of the saloons that were there when the American troops ar rived. They were stretched along the thoroughfares of Manila from end to end and the only thing sold" In them was a native gin and this sold at one cent a glass. "This stuff Is the most fiery tasting ,and most viclotiB In its effects of any llquo" I have ever seen. Our men drank it becauso they had nothing elsu to drink; they became many of them victims of It. and I have laid away In the cold earth more than one man who has died from It.

From the very moment thnt tho canteens were established drunkenness began to de crease, tho number of court martlals become less and a better state of dis cipline prevailed and Is prevailing now." PRESENTATION OF BADGES. The badges were then presented to two companies at a time bv the fol lowing gentlemen: B und A, A. W. Dickson: D and F, Captain W. A. May; C and Ij. Captain James Molr, A and K, Major Everett Warren. Each of these speakers made brief addresses In which they cleverly nnd wittily ex tolled the merits of the particular com pany to which they formerly belonged. Tho Held and staff officers' badges were presented to them by Rev. Dr. S. C. Logan, the first chnplain of the regi ment. His voice faltered and he al most broke down as he handed the medals to Colonel Watres, the mem ories of his younger days Hooding up In his mind. This was probably the last military event of any Impoitance that will be held In the old armory, as Mayor Moll stated in his address. ADAMS AVENUE FIRE. Started in the Double Frame Build ing Owned by James Chandler at 509 nnd 511. One of the city's most densely built up residential districts, the fiOO block of Adams avenue.wns last night the scenf of what, for n time, threatened to be a disastrous blaze. It started In James Chandler's double, frame, dwelling house, Nos. 609 and 511. occupied by Dr. H. X. Dunnell and John Bognrt. The Bogart family left their house for the theatre, shortly after 'supper time. About 9 o'clock, C. E. Potter, who lives In Breck court, Just to the rear, saw smoke coming from tho Bogart kitchen, and, rushing over, dis covered the Interior to be a mass of flames. Box No. 23, corner of Adams avenue and Olive street, Is only a block away, yet, according to the neighbors. It was twelve minutes by actual timing before an alarm was turned In. Mr. Potter says his Inability to secure a key caused the delay, the first several key holders whose houses he visited belli?, away. At all events, the flames had eaten their way through the rear wall of jhe house and to the rooms above the kitchen, before the Phoenix Chemical company, the first to nrrive, reached tho scene. A huge column of smoke was ascending skyward, and the whole neighborhood was thoroughly alarmed. A double chemical sttcam from the Phoenix engine, a single stream from the Nay Aug chemical and some well- directed work by tho Crystals with a stop. nozzle water pipe succeeded In preventing the lire from spreading. The kitchen, on the ground floor; one bedroom nnd the bath room on the second floor, and the porch In the rear were badly burned, the kitchen, es pecially, suffering. The dining room, parlor and hallway. ft'Jth all they contained, were drenched with chemical and water. The furnl turp, pictures, carpets and drapery are, for the most part, a total loss. Water damaged Dr. Dunnell's kitchen and dining room nnd flooded his cellar. Tho flames, however, did not reach his side of the house. The origin of the fire Is not known, but It Is supposed some hot coals from the cooking stove fell on tho floor and Ignited the carpet. The center of tho blaze seemed to bo just in front of the stove. The losses are all covered by Insurance. The new water battery was run to the Arc by the Crystals, but It was not brought Into service. Nothing but tho warmest praise was heard for tho quick responses made by the firemen, and the business-like way In which they went about their work. A Card.

Refuse Loft Standing on tho Prin cipal Thoroughfares and All Day Yesterday the Dust Was Blown In Pedestrians' Eyes Crying Demand for Better Facilities for Cleaning tho Streets More Money, More Men nnd Proper Equipment Is Most Urgently Needed. The condition of tho paved streets In tho central city and West Scranton during the past fow day's has been de plorable. All day yesterday, owing to the high winds, the dirt nnd dust was blown in the faces of pedestrians un til it was unbearable, and many took refuge in street cars and stores nt dif ferent Intervals to avoid the dust. As soon as thotttreet sweepers would stir the dirt the wind would carry It along In n perfect cloud for blocks, and only when the wind subsided would there bo any relief from the disagree able experience. Something must be done to abate this nuisance. Street Commissioner Thomas Is han dloapped by lack of funds nnd Insuf ficient men to cope with this nuisance, and cannot be blamed for existing con ditions when the councils have his hands tied. In an Interview with a Tribune man, the street commlstloner says. "I do not propose to make any con tracts for private sweeping, but ex pect to do all the cleaning by men hired by the day. 1 expect to adopt the block svitem, where eich man Is ex pected to keep tho street clean all tlw time." USED IN LARGE CITIES. This cystem Is In use In all the larg er cities and has proven the most suc cessful experiment of them all. Each man Is assigned to a limited number of blocks. Is furnished u push cart, at tached to which Is a can or butt, Into which the dirt Is loaded and carted away by the teamsters In the employ ot tho department. The men are also provided with a hand sprinkler, broom, Hrraper nnd shovel and nro thus fully equipped for carrying jm the work. On each cart there are several cans, which aro made small at the bottom and large at the top, that several can be can led on tho cart at once, and as soon as the top one Is filled It Is taken away. What Is needed at once Is the thor ough Hushing of every paved street in the city, and if this cannot be done, they should be sprinkled and men put to work to clean up the dirt. It is use less to sweep the dirt in piles along the curb lines, without first sprinkling the street, as It Is only scattered over the pavement again by vehicles ana blown away by the wind. When the dirt Is shovelled Into the wagons dry a large part ot It Is again scattered over the pavement before it is deposited in refuse heap. The best Illustration of the block system given Ir- this city was In force last year on Wyoming avenue, between Spruce street and Lackawanna, avenue, where one mail was employed by the mer chants to keep tho pavement clean. The residents of Jefferson avenue also 'adopted this method. WANTS PRACTICE STOPPED. Commissioner Thomas has directed a communication to the Scranton Rail way company in which he requests that tholr employes remove the dirt which lodges In the curve rails at street corners, and Instead of shovel ling It onto the pavement, carry It away in carts or wagons. Heretofore the dirt has been left on the pavement and Invariably found Its way back In the tracks again. Another notification has been served on business men nnd occupants of dwelling houses to discontinue the practice of sweeping the refuse from stores and houses Into tho street. Ho expects them to take care ot the dirt and paper In the same way ashes and garbage Is cared for. To best accomplish that end and en able people to comply with the order, piper receptacles should be furnished and stationed along the principal streets. The public would soon recog nlze tho purpose for which they are Intended, and Instead of throwing papers und other waste materials on the street, they would deposit the snme In the receptacles. Specially constructed covered wag ons should also be used In carting away the dirt, and the police force should be Instructed to arrest the owners of wagons, which permit their contents to bo strewn along tho street. A striking example of this was seen In Ben Johnson's vehicle, which has for years roamed about tho principal streets, leaving n trail of ashes and 1 EASTER SHOWING OF NECLIGEE SHIRTS TODAY.

One Economy Agreed Upon by Con trollers' Finance Committee. There will bo no now school buildings erected this year. The finance com mlttee of the board of control was in session only n few minutes Inst night, but that was long enough for them to decide definitely on this much-mooted point. It was the Intention of the committee to have an extended ses sion to make up Its estimate and fix the tax levy, but mi several of Its mom-' bers had to meet with tho building committee, and that body unexpected ly kept going till nearly 0 o'clock, the finance committee decided to put oft the work of making Its toport till some night next week, to be agreed upon later. Theie Is a possibility, which, how ever, hardly nmounts to n probability, that It will be necessary to build nn nddltlon to tho high school. If such is done, tho cost will be met with u bond Issue. The likelihood, though. Is thnt It will not bo done. If tho build ing will not accommodate tho high Bchool pupils, the training school will be transferred to some olher building, and this will, It is expected, accommo date the Increase In high school at tendance. The plan of establishing a steam heating plant in the high f.chool has also been put aside, the Economy Light, Heat and Power company hav ing ngreod to renew tin steam heat contract nt the old figure.
