Dunning; corre sponding secretary, Miss Amelia Smith; recording secretary, Miss Ilaub; treas urer, Mrs. Mary Whltmore. All of tlipse olllcers were re-elected with tho exception of Mis.

Tho folowlng delegates to tho coun ty convention to be held next Tuesday In Moscow were chosen: Mrs, Mar garet Robot ts, Mrs. L. T. Heane, Mrs. A. n. Ituub and Mrs. Henry Llttoll. The nlternatvs elected were: NMrs. Mnry Munson, Mrs. DeGrnw. Mrs. Arja Williams and Mrs. George field. Mrs. Joseph Chandler, superintendent of Sabbath observance, reported having distributed 17.000 pages of literature, 250 Sabbath readings nnd 40 Ram's Horns during the year. Tho flower committee reported having given out 111 text cards and 12C boquets. They visited sixteen poor and sick families nnd two hospitals, on the occasion of the latter visits distributing bcxiuetg to each of the Inmates. Tho treasurer's report showed that there Is ii balance on hand of $76, after paying all bills and claims. This was considered very encouraging. It was announced that Mrs. Fessenden, of Massachusetts, a state lecturer and temperance worker of national promi nence, will deliver a series of temper ance lectures In this county itt the near future. She will nlso conduct n parliamentary drill In tho Green Ridge library under the auspices of tho Green Ridge Women's club. ASYLUM FOR THE FEEBLE WINDED Effort to Be Made to Have Legisla ture Appropriate Money for One for This Part of tho State. It is very likely that r.t the opening of legislature this year a bill will be Introduced, providing for the build ing of an asylum for. feeble-minded children, to be usd for the accomo dation of young unfortunates in Northeastern Pennsylvania. At pres ent there nre but two Institutions of this natute In the state, one at Klwyn, near Philadelphia, nnd the other In Polk, Venango county, In the west ern part of the state. Roth of these asylums are at pres ent crowded, and it Is Impossible for them to take any more patients, as a result of which theie arc several poor weak-mliuU'd boys and girls at the Hillside Home, where there are no facilities for proper treatment. Frequently cases of this nature are presented at poor board meetings, anil the applicants turned away with their requests ungratlfied, on account of the llmilted means afforded for taking care of the patients. This condition exists throughout all Northeastern Pennsylvania. The poor board districts of Ulakely, Carbondalc and Northern Luzerne, all feel tho need keenly of a home for feeble minded children, and the authorities of this territory have conferred with tho local directors regarding the mat ter, with the result that a (ulet and systematic plan of campaign has been mapped out, and no stone Is being left unturned to bring about a suc cessful end to tho movement. Tho asylum nt Klwyn Is used for tho feeble-minded boys and girls of East ern Pennsylvania, nnd the Polk In stitution accomodates patients princi pally from Western Pennsylvania. In this way tho central portion of the state iind the natives of tho "corner" sections are somewhat crowded out. The Polk school accomodates r.SG pu pils, tho minimum age of a patient b"lng G years, nnd tho maximum 21. The Institution Is largely In tho na ture of a training s-chool, the Inmates being divided Into regular classes and being afforded dally Instruction by teachets specially qualified for tho work. Tho bill to be Introduced would pro vide for a home to be erected In the lclnlty of Scranton. and tho building asked for would not necessarily be as large and commodious ns the other two, but would have a capacity of between 273 and 300 Inmates. Oongiessman Oonnell has been asked to lend his influence to the movement, nnd several of the candidates for the legislature have bcii approached on the subject and have guaranteed their support. COUNCILMAN ARRESTED. John Mullin, of Avoca, Accused of Assaulting Conductor.

Your truly, II. U. Paine. Scrinton, l'a., Sept. 25 MAYOR GAVE THEM A SURPRISE PARTY M'CAFFERTY SAW THAT THE JIG WAS UP. With Hie Wife He Was Arrested for Keeping a Speakeasy but He De clared Most Earnestly That Thoy Had Not Sold a Drop for Twelve Months When Contrary Evidence Was Produced They Wilted nnd Paid a Fine. Mayor Molr has lately had numerous complaints about a speakeasy con ducted at 1412 Cumberland street by Patrick McC'afferty and yesterday he decided to arrest tho gentleman, hav ing sent out several of his agents the night before to secure the evidence. Tho aforesaid agents observed that Mrs, McCafferty did the dispensing at the bar, and, upon being Informed of this, his honor. In order to make no mistake, issued warrants for both Pat rick nnd his spouse. They were arrested early last even ing and were arraigned beforo tho mayor, who, expecting their arrival, enmo down shortly nfter 7 o'clock. The two prisoners were very Indignant. They sell Intoxicating liquors! They, Mr. and Mrs. McCafferty, conduct, u speakeasy! Why, the very Idea of the thing was absurd. Yes, positively ridiculous. It was spite work pure and simple. They were not prepared to say that they didn't soil Intoxicants some time ago, but thoy hadn't sold a drop for twelve long months. Yes, they would swear to that. Twelve long months. And so on, nnd so on. Their protestations ot innocence might have convinced the mavor If he didn't knew a few more things than they thought ho knew. "You're sure you haven't sold any thing for a year?" he asked. "Yes, we're sure," replied Mr. Mc Cufferty. "Well, perhaps this gentleman will Inform us differently," said his honor as ho directed Sergeant Delter to bring In from another room one of his two witnesses. The couple's faces grew long when they saw him nnd they grew longer still when ho testified to having bought beer and ale from Mrs. Mc Cafferty at ft o'clock Monday night. The other witness testified to the same facts. "Yes, and we've got a little of the ale," said the mayor, as he pulled out a bottle of that beverage from under his desk. "That's the shortest twelve months I ever heard of." Mrs. McCafferty averred that she had never seen either of the two wit nesses, but her liege lord, realizing that they were up against It promptly paid over the $30 fine Imposed by the mayor.

T president of the Passaic Rolling Mltl company and formerly general super intendent of tho Delaware, Lackawan na and Western railroad In this city, died yesterday, after several months' Illness. He was very well known In this city, where he spent between six teen and seventeen years of his life, during his connection with the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western.

Kingsbury, who Is a brother-in-law of tho eleceased, was notified of the death yesteiday afternoon and left for Paterson. Mr. Cooke leaves many friends among the older residents of Scranton, nnd In Paterson his death has cast a gloom over the entire cltv, as he had endeared himself to all by his many philanthropic acts. Ho was founder and president of the Passaic Rolling Mill company, one of the lead ing industrial organizations ot Pater son, and was also prominently Identi lied with several of tho large banks of the city. Dutlng the last thhty years ho ac quired a nanio as one of tho most popular citizens of the Now Jersey city, and one term was elected to the board of aldermen, which corresponds to our councils, nnd gave his district able representation.

There must bo a beginning to all greatness why not take the first step? Savings Department TRADERS NATIONAL BANK Cor. Wyoming and Spruce TRADERSf BANK. Watts Cooke filled the position of master mechanic for severol years nnd gave splendid satisfaction by tho very capable way In which ho attended to his duties. It was during this time that he mot with an nclcdent which deprived him ot the use of his right mm. He was testing n new engine, and, falling off, hl.s arm was caught under the wheels and ro badly injured that It was found necessary to re move It. In isr5 he was married to Miss Emma Kresslcr, a daughter of David K. Kressler. A beautiful wedded Ufa was tho result of their union, and their domestic relations were of a kind that aroused the universal admiration of their friends. In IS61 Mr. Cooke was made general superintendent ot the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western rallrod, and for six years filled this position. Ho then resigned nnd moved to Paterson.

HARFORD FAIR OPENS MONDAY. It Is One of Leading Events of tho Kind. Tho Harford fair begins today. This is an annual event looked forwnrd to with great Interest by the residents of Susquehunna, Wayne, Wyoming nnd the upper portions of Lackawanna county. It Is always a two days' fair and this year will commence this morning nnd close tomorrow' 'night. It is held In the borough of Harford, Sus quehanna county, situated four miles from Klngsley on the Lackawanna railroad, which is its shipping point. The road from Klngsley to Harford Is over a succession of steep hills, but the good road from the two places makes It an Interesting ride and one filled with enjoyable sights, running through rural scenery nnd allowing lungs to be filled with pure mountain air. This great annual event Is looked for wnrd to by fiom five to six thousand persons with pleasurable anticipations, nnd It is no wonder to one who 1ms ever nttended It. It Is a country fair, pure and simple. There are no horse races, no games of chance allowed and liquor Is placed under a severe ban. The buildings and grounds are among those which nre considered to be the handsomest In the state. This Is the forty-third fair that has been held In tie grove away up on the hilltops and a prettier spot could not be found. The exhibition of horses, cattle, sheep, swino and live stock of all kinds; the fruits of the field, orchard and vine; the display of fancy things fabricated by deft feminine lingers, are all set forth to the best advantage. Besides the usual things to bo seen nt an agricultural exhibition the Har ford fair Is always sure to Introduce some novelty In tho way of competi tion, such as pulling matches, contest for ladles hitching up a horse, a bal loon ascension or some like attraction. Prof. L. B, Hclghes will this year de liver the annual nddress. Scrantonians who Intend to visit this fair enn take the 8.30 or 10.25 a. m. train to Klngsley, where there will bo found numerous Btages and hacks. Tho D., L. & W. munngoment will sell excur sion tickets at ono fare for the round trip at all stations between Scranton and Binghamton. These tickets aie good going today and tomorrow and for return until Friday. The day of most Interest undoubtedly will be to morrow, as there aro a number of In teresting events on the programme for them. As The Tribune has a large und constantly Increasing circulation In Susquehanna county, It will detnll a reporter from the office to attend tho fair during Its continuance, and It will present to Its readers each day a full and Inteiestlng description of It.
