Common and Select Councils Hold a
Harmonious Session The Common
Council Reorganized Without a
Ripple of Discoid Collins Elected
Chairman of the Body City Clerk
Moon Balloted for Again and Was
Elected.
Lust night's meeting of the Select
and common councils furnished consid
erable "f a surprises to the nmny spec
tators who wore on liund expecting to
see a repetition of the struggle be
tween thi' IXmoeratlc and Republican
liininherH of the common council which
has been n fcaturo of the IiihI two
culled meetings which did not effect
any progress In the wink of reorgan
isation. Last night however It was different.
The usual meetings of the councils are
scheduled to begin at S p. in. It was
s.:!.. wliwi the nienibcrs tiled Into their
seats and Clerk Lofttts called the roll.
Kvery member of the common council,
which met tlrst, was on hand and an
swered to bis name.
Then Councilman Loft us, Democrat,

us temporary chairman. Carried. Lnf
tiiM then fill flier moved that the tem
porary tirgnnls'.titloii be made perma
nent. Tills, motion was seconded by A.
T. Thompson. Republican. The roll
wu.s milled and each member of the
body said "Collins." The permanent
orgaiil::atlou Includes Clerk A. F. Lof
lii". The ipili'tness and harmony of these
proceedings were a surprise to the
rowil that packed the eotincll cham
ier. iik the deadlock was still believed
.V many to be In the programme. The
Democratic members laughed at the
puzzled faces surrounding them, as the
i'iihviI gave vent to their disappoint
ment by whispers.
Then Mr. Kennedy moved that the
rules of last year's council govern the
present body. The motion was second
ed and carried without dissent. Then
Mr. Kennedy moved that the common
council adjourn for the purpose of
meeting the select council In joint con
vention to elect, a elty solicitor and
also a city clerk. If necessary, as some
doubt had been expressed over the
l'-gallty of the election of City Clerk
Moon at last Thursday evening's joint
session.
Joint Session.
The joint convention was then called
to order by City Clerk Moon. Mr.
Stone moved that Select Councilman
Fletcher be made chairman of the joint
convention. The first business to come
up said Mr. Fletcher, was the election
of a city solicitor for the next two
years to succeed Robert D. Stuart.
Selectman James Thompson, of the
Sixth ward, nominated K. D, Stuart.
Republican. W. H. Mustcis Jioniiiiuted
J. 15. Jiii'dan. Democrat. The vote was
taken amid suppressed excitement, as
it was known that the two were nearly
evenly matched, with the odds sup
posedly in favor of Jordan, who is a
newcomer to this city. The roll call
revealed that cine Republican. AV. IF.
Musters, voted for Jordan, while one
Democrat, Alex. Kennedy, voted for
Stuart. The result was: Stuart, 10;
Jordan, S. divided as follows:
For Stuart A. T. Thompson, "Whit
field. Stone, J. Masters, Kvans, Ken
nedy CD.), Fletcher, Davis, Rattle, J.
Thompson 10.

lins, Nealon, Murphy. AV. II. Masters
IR.), Mannion. Iiarrett S. ,
A communication from Mayor Kll
piitrick was then read, advising an
oilier election for city cleric, as some
ouestlou had been raised as In tlu le
gality of the election of X. L. Moon
lo the office last Thursday night, as the
common council was then not organ
ized. Mr. Mannion moved that the eoniinu
ilcallon from the mayor be received
and placed on tile and that the mem
ber who had nominated Mr. Moon on
'Thursday evening do it over again.
The motion whs carried.
James Thompson then named Mr.
Moon. Ills name was the only one
presented and I he roll call being read
he received every vote of the united
bodies.

their scats and turned to the chairman
lor the consideration of business when
sounds of loud words were borne In
from tho hall and the members, not'
waiting lo adjourn, mailc a bee lino
for tho scene.
15. D. Stuart, who had Just been re
elected, was engaged In a wordy war
with Alexander Robert.''. Mr. Robots
was taxing: Mr. Stuart with a number
of actions which the former deemed
Inconsistent In one who held a city
ofllce. Mr. Roberts seemed greatly cut
up over Mr. Stuart's victory and his
tones betrayed It. Mr. .Stuart, defended
his course and reputation vigorously,
and tho altercation had proceeded so
far that tho terms applied were get
ting dangerously dose to the line
whore dignity is dropped, when some
one took Mr. Roberts' arm and led
lilni away. The two debaters wore
nulto stirred up, but nothing further
was said.
The councllmen then went back to
work. Mr. Kennedy called attention
to the urgent need of n. meeting soon
for tho chairman to announce the com
mittees, so that the bond, appropria
tions and other necessary legislation
could be transacted. The common
council then adjourned until next
Monday at S p. in.
In select council no business was
done and It adjourned Immediately af
ter the joint session.
AN IMPRESSIVE SERVICE.
Tho Enster Music at the Methodist
Episcopal Church Excelled All
Xrcvloits Efforts.
The Faster services at the First
Methodist Episcopal church In this city
on Sunday were, without a. doubt, the
most elaborate and best rendeied of
iinv ever clven in thisJ city. There wiih
it large, congregation at the morning
service. Tile Rev. A. ' F. ChulYce
preached on "The Resurrection." At.
the mornlnc service the solos were
sun,',' by Mrs. M. O. Abbey, Miss May
Kllpatrlek and AVIlllam D. Fvans, each
of them executing their work with
taste and finish.
At the evening service the large audi
ence filled both the church and Sunday
school rooms, and Presiding Klder J.
W. Warner preached. The choir dem
onstrated their ability to take up clas
sical work and render it satisfactorily.
The cantata, "The itisen King," was
given with a dash and vim seldom
equalled byamateurs. The choir seemed
to have gotten inspiration from the
largo congregation that came to hear
them, and rendered the work in 11 mas
terly manner. The ladles' trio, by Miss
Fltzpatrick, Mrs. Abbey and Miss X.
Bayley, deserves speelat mention. The
blending of these voices was rich and
full of expression. Miss Jennie Butler
also deserves credit for the .sweet tone
and feeling in which she rendered
"They Have Taken Away My Lord."
The male choruses, female choruses
and ensemble work was severally tukea
up with precision, well balanced and
shading that is rarely surpassed. The
director, AV. D. Kvans, and the organ
ist. Mrs. C. Aekerman, are to be com
plimented for the advanced step they
have taken in music for this city.
There Is already a demand for the
repetition of tills charming cantata,
and It will probably li given after con
ference. There will be no service at
tile church next Sunday.
THE NEW SOCIETY.
St. Aloysius Branch of the C. T. A.
U. to Be Formed Hero.
After the .services in St. Ro.se church
on Sunday evening tile young men of
the parish remained to a meeting held
for the purpose of organizing a St.
Aloysius Total Abstinence society.
Very Ttev. T. F.-l.ol'fey, V. C, and
Rev. J. J. Curraii. of Wilkes-lfarre,
president of the Diocesan union, were
present and explained to th; young
people the alms of tile society.
The prieats Impressed upon the young
nit'ii the necessity of forming- right
habits early in life, and exploited the
proposed society as a very effective
aid in keeping the young men in the
right path. '
Father Curran then proceeded to in
stitute tile society. One hundred and
llfteen young men signed the pledge
and put down their names as mem
bers. A tQmporary organization was
then formed by the election of John
IT, Delaney as president, and Dudley

MR. RENNIE MAKES OFFER.
If the Discharged Men Apply Indi
vidually They May Be Hired.
All day long yesterday tho eyes of
tho locked-oitt men from the locomo
tive shops of thu Delaware tihtl Hud
son, of this city, were focusscd upon
tho railroad station, In expectation of
witnessing the arrival of one of thu
national olllceis of tho Machinists'
union front Washington. Hut up to a,
late hour last evening he had not
reached this city. A committee ap
pointed to escort him to the. Watt
building, whore the cx-omulovcs have
established headquarters, mot each In
criinltig train, but wera disappointed.
It Is expected that he will surely be
here today.
It Is said that Mr. Itennle, the mas
ter mechanic of tho company, has
made an effort to settle the difficulty
by offering to re-employ anyVot the
forty-two men whom he dlsilhurgod
lust Thursday If they will upply for
work singly and as any stranger
would, without relying on their past
good record In the shop to help them.
This offer, tho men say, Is humiliating
and is designed to be, and each and
nl! of them unreservedly declare that
they will go hack In u body or not nt
all.
The men In the headquarters have
settled down Into a state of patient
waiting for something to turn up. So
lor, only one man has come here to
apply for any of the vacant situa
tions. He was a vagrant, who walked
Into town on Sunday night, chose the
city jail for n lodging house, and yes
terday morning went to apply for a
job ut the locomotive works. He was
sidetracked, the situation explained to
him, ami he immediately left town.

ger of tho Carbondale Traction com
pany, but now general manager of tho

Kahter Sunday In H1I3 city and was
greeted most cordially by his ninny old
friends. Tho line of which ho now
has charge has been greatly Improved
In the past year, fully $130,000 having
been expended In betterments. Spcnk
Ing of Eustoil's refusal lo accept Mr.
Carnegie's offer of $50,000 for n library
building for that city, Mr. Flynn said:
"Most of-tlie residents of Easton aro
up in arms over the act of the coun
cils. The rejection grew out of a petty
Jealousy mil spite existing among
some of the city fathers, who have
been roundly denounced In many
qunrters. All progressive people, will
fee the benellt and advantage It Is
to a town to bavo a fine library. Such
an Institution is a thing for everyone
to be proud of. If Carbondale has
been made an offer by Mr. Carnegie, it
should bo taken up at once, ns such
chances coino very seldom in the his
tory of a town."
