Mary's church, nnd after mass the

When the convention assembled af
ter the morning tecess the president,
Rev. J. J. McCabe, delivered h's an
nual address. He suggested that they
do mote missionary work during the
coming year, combining lectuivs with
nn enthusiastic personal work. He
advised the delegates against extreme
measures and radicalism, giving It as
his opinion that this course Injuies
rather than helps the total abstinence
cause. He does not believe in perse
cuting liquor sellers who are obeying
the law, but he thought It the duly
of every total abstainer to se that
liquor sellers do obey the law. In con
clusion he urged the delegates to throw
more enthusiasm and interest into the
work of gaining recruits fur the total
abstinence army.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on resolutions,
through Rev. J. J. Curran, ptesenu.l
Its report, which was adopted as read.
The resolutions follow;
Whereas, The practice of the total abstinence
virtue is the safest and surest guide to the happi

home and the nation; and
Whereas, The vice of intemperance, more than
all other combined agencies, is destructive of
these blissful conditions in our midst; therefore
be it

teenth annual convention of the 1 Imllr Total
Abstinence t'nlon of the Diocim 1, n.mtun, at

time zeal in the cnie which . espoused
and that our encrgiea be nihil ,1 1 b.'lulf of
the sobiiety and prosperity of 0111 ik'IkIiIkiu and
that at tho passing ol the old century we may
not only witness the diwn of a new and luxurious
era for the cauo cf total abstinence, but ot the
public atmosphere in gcieral. Therefoic, as a
means ot attaining the sublime and Christian ob
ject in view-, bo it
Resolved, That for the spiritual anil temporal
salvation of our fellow men wc most humbly and
earnestly seek the special co-operation in the
total abstinence union of our worthy and reverend
pastors ot tho diocese, acknowledging at the
same time that without their paternal guidance
and protection wc can do little for the glorious
cause which we have espoused.
Resolved, That in the organization and main
tenance of cadet societies wc acknowledge the
truth of the oit-repeatcd inspired wolds: "The
hope of the harvest is in the seed," nnd thit we
appeal most filially to our cstemicd priests, both
pastor and assistant, to aid in in a paitlcular
manner in the growth and diffusion of thco
little armies of total abstainers.
Resolved, That the most heartfelt thanks of
every society in the Diocesan union are due

local societies interest themselves lu the tem
poral nnl spiritual welfare of our co-rrllglonists

year wait upon the pators of these good people
with a view to enrolling the faithful of their
flocks under the banner of total abstinence.

this convention that the officers of the law In

ages should be eradicated and more honest and

to religion and a blot upon civilization and that
the member! of the total abstinence movement
thioushout our illoccso should aim with an earn
est and effective blow at the Intolerable abuse.

MAYOR REMOVES
THREE OFFICERS
COMMUNICATION READ IN SE
LECT COUNCIL LAST NIOHT.
Lieutenant Michael Spollman nnd
Patrolmen John J. Peuster and
"Babe" Jones Are the Unfortunates
Who Are to Go "Por Cause" Com
munication Referred to Committee.
Mayor's Position Regarding Speak
easies Number of Ordinances nnd
Resolutions Introduced.
As was foretold In Tho Tilbuno yes
terday, Maj'or Molr sent In a commu
nication to select council last night re
moving Lieutenant M. F. Spellman
and Patrolman John J. Peuster and I.
F. Jones from the police force for
cause. The council chamber was
crowded with spectators, when tho
communication was read. It was as
follows:
To the Honorable, the Seleet Council.
I herebv lomove for cause, tho following of
ficers from the police force, viz.: Lieutenant
Jllchael Spellman, John J. Peuster and 'salah V.
Jcnes. 1 licrcLy appoint, subject to )our ap
proval, to fill the vacancy caused by the above
tcmovals, Messrs. John Ac'cbman, John Malott
and Chailcs Miller,
Yours respectfully,
James Molr, Ma or.
The communication was referred
without comment to the police com
mittee. Some of tho members were
plainly surprised at the name of Pa
trolman Jones, for, while it was gen
erally understood that Lieutenant
Spellman nnd Patrolman Peuster were
to go, It was the belief that two other
patrolmen other than "Babe," as he
Is called, vere to bo removed. Lieu
tenant Spellman Is the oldest official
of the three and has for years been
looked upon as without a superior on
the force. He Is cool, shrewd and
tactful and Is a great favorite with
the men who serve under him. He has
been In charge of the North Scranton
precinct for seven years.
John Addyman, one ot the new offi
cers, Is 33 years of age and lives In
Green Ridge. He Is a protege of Pres
ident B. T. Joyne, of the school board.
John Malott Is from West Scranton
and has been employed as a foreman
at John Benore's lumber yard for some
years past. Charles Miller Is from
North Scranton and Is a Polander.
All are Republicans.
, There were three other communica
tions from Mayor Molr, the next in
Importance being relative to the nec
essity of adopting a "tippling house"
ordinance. This read as follows:
TIPPLING HOUSE ORDINANCE.
To the Honorable, the Select and Common Coun
cils. (ientlimen: Some four months ago I addressed
a communication to .vour honorable bodies urging
tho necessity of passing an ordinance to deii
specially with the nieakeasy or unlicensed saloon,
whew distilh'd and brewed liquors are sold In
elcflincc ot the license laws of the 6tate. At
that time your honorable bodies appointed a
special committee who, in conjunction with the
citv solicitor, drew up an oidinaucc fully coy
Ming the matter; and, had the same been passed
ly ou, would have speedily and ciTectlvcl dis
posed of and eradicated this cr.vlng evil, which
lias Income a reproich to our city.
The above' mentioned ore'inancc was Introduced
and pat-ed two rcadlng-i in ceinmon council, and
Us failure to become a law vas astribed to the
fact that it was lutioduecd too late In the term.
The arguments ndvancce' h me in the commu
nication refened to, appear in the light of recent
events, to be doubly forceful just at this time.
The city ought to use ever means within her
power to root out this illicit traffic, and at the
same time protect the licensed dealer? who are
supposed to comply w-ath the Icquirements of
the license laws. The municipality certainly
has the right and power to enact ordinances
under the statute, whereb violatois of the law
can be summarily ilealt with, and the houses
which conduct this Illicit traffic should be classed
as elisorderly houses and declared to be nuis
ances. We hear a great ileal of how the laws are so
rigoiously enforced in many of our sister cities,
and comparisons drawn greatly to the disadvan
tage of our city. I would remind those critics,
and also call your attcMion to t lie fact that
those It if m have availed themselves of the powers
given to them by the ait, and have formulated
ordinances based upon the statute, and which
they enforce risldlv.
Wc have been shamelessly ilciclicl to our duty
In this respect. Relating to violations of the
liquor laws by licensed houses, the statute clear,
ly defines whose duty It is to enforce tho pro
visions of the same. The cnfouciiiirit of this
statute docs not devolve upon the mayor or the
police force. Tho police have no rlglit to enter
a Heen-ed house in their official capacity, except
when called upon to quell a disturb ince or a
breach of the peace. The only way the mayor
can act in relation to violations of the licc.ise
laws by licensed dealers is in Ids capacity as a
private prosecutor, and he feels ho is no more
called upon to do so, end take the chances of
being mulcted in costs, than many thousands of
other law-abiding citlrens. 'ihc maor of this
city wishes it t lie distinctly upderstood that
he will not shirk any leipoiislbility connected
with his official position; at the same time he
does not propose to assume duties which piop
crly belong to others.
Place the weapons in his land to properly
enfoicc tho laws against this illicit traffic, pass
an ordinance sueh as was presented to common
council, and I confidently predict that within
three month) the "hole In the wall" will be a
thing of the past In Scranton. I ask and uige
our earliest consideration of this absorbing
question which so vitally concems the moral
welfare and reputation of our city.
SPEAKEASY ORDINANCE.
Later In the evening Mr. Chittenden
introduced an ordinance regulating tho
control of speak-easles by the police,
which Is similar In all respects to the
one Introduced last year. It was re
ferred to Its proper committee.
Another communication referred to
the necessity of making provision for
the Impounding of stray cattle and
dogs which are allowed to roam at
liberty throughout tho city. The may
or states that the chief of police has
not now enough funds at his disposal
to pay tor even the burying or crema
tion of the "defunct canines" found
on the street?, let alone to take care
of the live ones. He urged the neces
city of appolntg a special committee
to take action on the matter.
A fourth communication was read
appointing David Stanford as Inspec
tor of the Scranton street sewer and
Craddo Morris ns Inspector of the pro
posed sewer in section R of the Fifth
sewer district. Both of these appoint
ments were confirmed.
It was, In fact, an evening of com
munications, for after these had been
read tho clerk began to take others
from a pile In front of him. There
were two from City Solicitor Vosburg.
One of these accompanied a letter from
Joseph Ansley regarding a sewer which
continually overflows and Hoods his
lumber yard. He announces that he
will sue the committee for damages
If It Is not repaired. This was re
ferred to tho sewers und drains com
mltee. t
The other communication from Mr.
Vosburg advised councils to pass nn
ordinance opening up Poplar street
across tho Delawaro and Hudbon
tracks In lino with Judge Archibald's
suggestion, so as to end tho present
litigation concerning the fence recently
erected at this point by tho company.
Later In the evening, Mr. Finn Intro
duced such an ordinance.
A communication from tho Carriage
Workers' union, indorsed by the Cen
tral Labor union, was presented, re
questing councils to refuse to have any
more work done by Carrlagcmakcr W.
E. Gllhool. Tho communication states
that Mr. Gllhool Is opposed to organ
ized labor, nnd that he employs no
union help. It further states that ho
has no regular system of paying, nnd
that ho now owes certain workmen for
over three months, and when ho does
pay that ho gives orders in lieu of
money,
Mr. Mclvln produced a communica
tion addressed to Mr. Gllhool by th-
secretary of the Blacksmiths' union,
announcing that ho employs union
blacksmiths. Both communications
were ordeted received and Hied.
The following common council reso
lutions were adopted: Directing the
city engineer to prepare plans and
specifications and an estimate of the
cost of paving West Market street;
directing the street commissioner and
the city engineer to confer with the
