SECRETARY OF THE CHAUTAUQUA IN CITY Mrs. Minnie D. Lewis Entertainingly Addressed Large Audience at Ex celsior Club Houso Last Night. Mis. Minnie D. Lewis, ot New York clt, national Held secretary of tho Jewish Chautautiua association, last night delivered a stirring address be fore a. largj audience at the Excelsior Social club's house on Washington ave nue, and succeeded In arousing a good deal ot enthusiasm in local Chautau qua work. Mrs. Iewls organized the Seranton branch of the association last year, since which time it has grown and thrived nnd done really excellent work. At last night's meeting there were present a number of persons not members and Mrs. Lewis devoted her energy to converting these Into Chau tauqua workers. As a result of her ad dress several names were enrolled on the membership list and a number of substantial contributions to the asso ciation's treasury were mode. In her address Mrs. Lewis spoke en tertainingly of Chautauqua work In geperal. She spoke entirely without notes and hor friendly, confidential manner of address was both Interesting ur.d effective. She urged a more thor ough study of tho Bible, nnd declared that there was a deplorable Ignorance of simple Biblical facts and elementary scriptural themes. Itev. A, S. Auspacher, pastor of the congregation of the Linden street syn agogue, followed Mrs. Lewis and In an impromptu speech, brimful of enthusi asm heartily urged tho furtherance of the Chautauqua course of study, with It1? attendant Biblical work. "The study of the Bible," he said, "should bo of Importance, equal with the class ics. In the curricula of our larger uni versities. Tho lessons carried by the put'; simple stories of Scripture have an influence on the formation of char acter which will not bo found in any of the lyrics of ancient Greek or Ro man writers." An open discussion then followed at which Mrs. Lewis answered several questions pertaining to Chautauqua work and the meeting then adjourned. GOD'S BOOK. Clergy and Presidents' Meeting. A meeting of tho clergy, all denom inations, and the presidents of the bcoid of trade, all hospitals and char itable Institutions in the city of Seranton will be naked to meet In the Immediate future In the interest ot charity. The date, time and place will bo given in tomorrow's Issue of this paper. -. clergyman from each church or denomination will be expected to attend the meeting because they nil haw the welfure of our charitable In stitutions at heart. The presidents of the charitable in stitutions will be there because they not only want, but need, all the as sistance that they can get. The president of the board of trade v. ill naturally be there because he Is evei ready to benefit our business pub lic and the community In general. At the meeting It will be shown lhat our business publis are in a position to very materially assist our charitable Institutions, some of which are very much in need, and not have it cost them one cent. Why? Because, all they need do to bring the result about is to simply give their regular patron age to tho directory that I will pub lish this year, the entire profits of which will be given to lessen the needs of our charitable Institutions, which the public must necessarily support any way. There can be no doubt but that by exerting Its inlluenco in extending pat ronage to the project, this public can afctonUh even itself, by the amount thai can thus be made available for our charities. Further, the cost being to much less this year, In order that every business person or linn can afford to advertise and subscribe, It will be a saving to those who must have a directory and v.l.o usually advertise in it. Subscriptions, without advertising, cnly $2.50. With your full business card, only $3.50. Advertising only about two-thirds usual rate, hence the saving, from usual prices, and the greater the volume of subscriptions and advertising warranted. In giving your patronage, remember you are giving it to the community, to God, nnd humanity. This is to be no individual property, It la to bo tho people's directory, pub lished by and for tho people of Seran ton, yearly; and no person's name will appear upon or in it as owner, or publisher. It Is to be God's book; and every business man with a heart should, and I believe will, give It his patronage. W. F. Smythe, Lackawanna Valley Hotel, Seranton, Pa. TAKING THE ASSESSMENT.

Tho announcement will be received with pleasure In many circles that Superintendent J. M. Daly, head of the transportation department of the Dela ware, Lackawanna, and Western Hall load company, is not to resign to ac cept a. position with a Southern rail road, as was stated. The offer, he said, was a very Invit ing one, but ho concluded not to ac cept It and so notified the company. Mr. Daly prefers the cast to either tho south or west for railroading, and Is especially pleased with the Iacka wamiA and his adopted city, Seranton. BULLET HOLE IN LENAHAN'S SKULL Indications Are That the Man Whose Body Was Found on the Rail road Was Murdered. A great deal of mystery sui rounds the death of John Lenahan, whoso mangled body was found on the tracks of tho Uloomsburg division of the Lackawanna railroad, near the Dodge mine, early yesterday tmornlng. Some workmen employed nt the Dodge mine found several pieces of the unfortunate man's skull alongside of the track yesterday mornlngi and sent them to Coroner Roberts, who ex amined them carefully. He was sur prised to find n. clean cut hole Just the size of u bullft through the center of tlu- Jargiit piece, which he said ap peared to bo the tight side of the skull. Ho examined this carefully and ex pressed himself liiit night as being confident that the hole wus made by a bullet. As soon as ho made the dis covery, ho hastened to O'Donnell's un dertaking establishment, In North Seranton, where the remains had been taken. He made a careful examina tion of the small quantity of brain matter which remained in tho badly crushed skull, but on account of the fact that this was mixed with culm and dirt, ho could find no trace ot a bullet. ( Just how Lenahan came to be on the railroad track at tho place where hi body was found, If he was struck by a train, cannoi be explained. He lived with his family at Kfl.i Biiok avenue. North Seranton and :ii nt the greater part ot Sunday In company with his wife, at the home of his slster-In-law, at tho corner of Luzerne and Fifteenth streets. He left there about 4 o'clock In the afternoon nnd went to the houso of his nephew, Daniel Lenahan, who lives on West Jackson street, In the Keyser valley. H" stayed there until between 9 and 10 o'clock at night, when ho loft, say ing he was going home. He was very fond of walking and on previous ioo caslons, when he would walk home from his nephew's house, he had al ways taken Keyser avenue direct to North Seranton. Neither his wlte nor his nephew can offer any possible ex planation as to how ho could possi bly havo got as far out ot his way as the Dodge mine. Mrs. Lenahan stated last night that her husband never had any consid erable sum of money about his por son and that on Sunday night he couldn't have had more than a dol lar. His watch, she snld, had been returned to her and there was no ap pearance of his clothes having1 beoen rifled. She was asked If she could think of any motive which would have Im pelled anybody to murder her husband and she said In reply that sho didn't think ho had an enemy In the world. She war puzzled, nevertheless, at tho place where the body was found, Mr. r.enahuu was 51 years old and bad lived In thki city for tho past thltty years. He is survived by a wife and six' chlldicu: John, Thoman, Sarah, Margaret, Minnie, William, Bridget and Martha. Tho funeral ar rangements have not yet been made. If the hole in the skull discovered by Coroner Roberts is a bullet hole and if the man was murdered, It would ap pear that the remains were 'placed on the track to cover the crime. The cot oner has decided to hold an Inquest but has fixed no exact date. ANNOUNCEMENT INCORRECT. Colonel Watres Says Nobody Knows Whether Thirteenth Will Attend. Colonel L. A. Watres, of the Thir teenth regiment, stated yesterday that the announcement that definite ar rangements had been completed for the regiment to attend tho Inauguration of President McKlnley was Incorrect. Nothing deflnlto was known, ho said. Tho authorities at Harrlsbuig hud been requested to do all in their power to hpcwo railroad transportation, and they had announced that they would do so. The colonel appeared hopeful, however, that favorable news would bo received In a few days. To the Republican Voters of the Sev enteenth Ward.

AMENDMENTS DECIDED UPON TO CHANGE THE SECOND CLASS CITY LAWS. Joint Councllmauic Committco De cided Last Night to Direct the City Solicitor to Prepare Amendments Making the Heads of Departments Appointed by the Mayor, Abolish ing Appointment of Viewers, Pro viding for a General Receiver of Taxes Other Changes, The speclul Joint committee of coun cils appointed to draw up amendments to tho present laws governing second class cities met last night nnd dliectcd City Solicitor Vosburg, who was pres ent, to prepare four specific amend ments. Those present at the meeting were Select Counrllmen C. C. Chltttnder., Joseph Oliver and John E. Roche, Common Councilman Luther Keller, Mayor Molr and City Solicitor Vos burg. The whole question ot second class leghlntlon was discussed very thor oughly for nearly two hours and the ame'ndmcnts decided upon wero the unanimous choice of the member present. Th first amendment decided upon and the one which Is considered the most Important takes out of the hands of councils tho power to elect ths heads of the departments of public safety, public works and public chari ties and makes these olllcltils appoint ed by the mayor, with the confirma tion of select council. Each nnd every member ot the committee present expressed himself as heartily favoring this amendment. Mr. Roche said that there was no get ting around the fact that public pen timent at larg not only in this city but in Pittsburg and Allegheny as well, demands the passage of such an amendment. KEYNOTE TO SITUATION. Mr. Chittenden thought it advisable to Just decide upon this ono amend ment, which, ho said, was tho key note of tho whole situation, and to make a fight on 11 alone. It was con sidered, however, by the other mem bers that It was better to decide upon several other amendments as well and secure the passage of all nt thei same time. The second amendment decided ur.on was suggested by City Solicitor Vos burg. It provides for tho abolition of appointed viewers to nssess damagen for any public improvement, and for the constitution of a per manent board of viewers to consist ot tho city engineer and the street com missioner. The advantage claimed for this amendment Is tho great economy which its passage will mean to this city. At present, tho bills of vleweis for services rendered, and these some times mount up very high in case of a big sewer, are paid directly by the city, being charged against the Judg ments and Incidentals appropriation. The third and fourth amendments decided upon provide respectively for the election of a general receiver of all taxes and for the repeal ot the clause of tho second class city act governing public printing. This print ing clause provides that all city 'ordi nances, etc., shall be printed in Ave dally newspapers. As there are but four In this city It would be necessary to call in the services of an out ot town paper to fulfill the provisions of the statute. The reports of every city department must also be printed in full, making the printing Item a pret ty big one In Pittsburg nnd Allegheny. The printing bill in tho latter city amounts to over $20,000 a year, while Scranton's is at present but little over $2,000. More amendments were discussed, but it was deemed advisable to de cide upon these four only, and If nec essary to drop all of these except the ono giving tho mayor power to appoint tho heads of the three groat depart ments. TO PREPARE AMENDMENTS. Mr. Vosburg will prepare these amendments and submit them at a second meeting of tho committee, which is to be held on Saturday night In City Cleik Lavello's ofllce. This meeting will be attended not only by tho members of the committee but by Senator Vaughan and Representatives Phllbln, Scheuer, James and Reynolds. The amendments will then be dis cussed again and ways and means adopted for securing their speedy passage through the legislature. Mr. Roche, perhaps, best expressed tho proper plan to be adopted In securing their passage when he said: "Let us, as a committee, keep away from Pittsburg and Allegheny and con connate our efforts on Harrlsburg. The tlrno is over for conference with other cities, and the time Is here for setting every possible Inlluence at woik to secure the passage of these amendments through the leglslatute. The chanceo for their passage, to me, look extremely favorable. "Mr. Quay has elected the scaker of tho houso and the president of the senate. Ho will undoubtedly be elected United States senator and if lie is, his side of the Republican party will con trol and shape the legislation to be passed at this session. Ho has been Butterfly Ties 50c We have many times boasted of the beauty of our neckwear, but never with as great confidence as we boast of these but terfly ties.

CASEY BROTHERS, Wholesale Liquor Dealers, 216 Lackawanna Ave. opposed by the Mageo-FIInn ling, which controls Pittsburg and Alle gheny, nnd will, as a matter of course, favor any legislation which strips that crowd of Us power. "Tills amendment which we have di rected to be drawn up does this and cannot help but receive his support. The committee to which It will be re ferred will bo controlled by the Quay faction nnd will without doubt report favorably upon it. When it comes to a vole, we will have tho support of the entire Quay faction, and I havo no doubt but that wo will be able to draw Insurgent and Democratic votes to our sides. "We must get at the leglslatme be foie the amendments are lntioduced. We must go down there nnd do or much persistent legitimate lobbying us we can." Mr. Keller wasn't so sanguine, lie thought that Flluii and Magee would prove too strong an opposition to run up against, but the other members thought differently. Mr. Roche and Mr. Vosburg ure to go to Pittsburg on Friday for the pur pose of finding out what gccond-uhi-.s city legislation, If any, N being ur pared by the Quay element In that city. It was stated last night that Messrs. James and Scheuer had re ceived assurances that they would be given places on the committee on municipalities. Colds Melt Away If you use Krattse's Cold Citro.
