GREAT INTEREST IN
THE JOINT SESSION
Brief Review of the LlRhthig Con
tract Fiplit, Which la to Be Dis
posed of Tonight.
What will piohably In- Ihi' tn-t-
lll-!'-Sllim lllfetlllg llf CoUIH'lls in
ninny months It Hip Jnlnl session t ltd t
will he held Mils evening.
Wlinl has awakened llie Intel cut of
the nubile 'he extent I hut In In
be observed In the places iilinilt llu
city where topics me most discussed
In lite lighting contract, w-hli-h Is to
bo disposed "f linn My tonight.
t'li In thli year, the l.iickuwiinnn
Vnlley Hleelrlc Mh I. company hus
had nn opposition In obtaining the
contract I'm- illtiinitiiiting tin streets
nr the city. It hits liml the'ileUI to
Itself nnd tin- disposition "f the f-nn-Itfiet
wis ii mere inn t lor (if procedure
each year.
This your, however, u 'rival np
iv fired, The Wolsbueli i-ninpniiy, the
maker nr the gas lumps which now
have mi llitornutloniil reputation,
seuglii mi entrance with ('urbotidulc,
anil Ihi-'iich Ihe I'nrhomlnlc (las l-oiii-p.iny,
bids wore submitted to the
lotini-lls mi Monday evening. May l..
The Joint llghl and waler eonimlttce
I i.iik up the bids, hut the proposl-lli-.ns
coming from the two cmnpnnloH
-the gas roinpany and the electric
llcht corporation weie too mneh for
the rommllloe In Intelligently dispose
or In the limited time tit Its disposal
rftid Ih'-y begged that the awarding of
Hie f-ontiviel no over until at least two
works, when both branches would
have a meet Inc. This was aceordlng
Jy done, and tonight the joint com
mittee, after having canvassed the
subject in all its details, will present
its report to councils.
In the meantime, the light contract,
lias probably been Hie most discussed
topic of the projects now before coun
cils. From the start, the Wolsbueh
iVimpany has shown bow earnest it is
lo Install Its method of illumination
In I'arboiidale. From Hie outset, It
was anxious to show the councllmen
and Itho citizens Hie effect of the
Welfdiaeh lights and after a public
display lot the question of Hie etllclen
r.v of the ilhimlnant and its advan
tages, if any. fiver the arc light.
Accordingly, lights were placed at
s-"von different points In the city and
Mere put in operation over three
weeks and have been burning since
then. There have been numerous ox
picssioiiK of opinion on the new light,
but they have been so varied that one
could sc-ircely draw any conclusions.
Another public project In which
there Is nn intense interest Is the
municipal water plant. This, too, is
to come up in councils tonight to be
disposed of dually, and It is safe to
say Hint the couniil .linmb.irs will bo
inadequate to ncconiniodate the ex
pected outpouring of citiezns to hear
the discussions on these two Import
ant measures. '
While the report of the light coiii
mitlee is In the keeping of the chair
man, yet It will be n safe venture fo
say that a change is llkel In-the
method of illuminating Hie city, and
that some of the streets, at least, will
likely have a now glow of light.
MANY TO GRADUATE.
Tho Higli School Commencement
Will Be Held on June 14.

A fJood Suggestion.
A good suggestion was mado by
f'oininander MeConib In Ids Memorial
Duy order, ono which could be noted
upoii with credit, if proper cognizance
of it wore taken. Ii is with refer-i-nc-e
to curing for the aged veterans
-Ihe heroes) of tho nation's trying
tunes on Memorial Day or at least
dining tho parade arrarged in oh-sTvaiu-e
of llio occasion. A largo
percentage of the old solillci.s are be
ginning in suffer from their liitlriua
ties and oven those who nre well pro
served lel (ho fati,ue of the day's

The suggestion made by t 'omnia li
tter Mci'omli is that some means of
ciiiivoyaho" be pro, hied for the sol'
diets ami that Ihey thus he allowed lo
enier Inlo the celebration of ihe day
thai Is so near to thoin, without the
fear of falgite or the sun's effects,
The cost of tills provision would be
almost Inconsiderable, and It would
certainly moot with tho heartiest up

fray tin-It expense1, besides pinvld

II Is hoped that this provision will
ho met in this manner In rarbondali!
this year.

your contemporaries the Importance
of foully to tho great principles for
which you .o Htrcnuotlsly offered sac

pienm satlsfantlon of knowing that
our cause was right, mid that the Hod
or battles sanctioned the efforts which
you pm forth to sustain tho Integ

Those of you who were actively en
gaged on Melds of carnage know the
sublimity of patriotism which was ex
hibited by tin men who hud a true,
-oiiceptlon of the Issues. Involved. Vou
know what they endured, and how
they mot the reiiulrements of the oc
casion. At tills Ilme. Iu the light of
history, It seems superfluous lo inako
any extended allusion to the work
performed by you. Put you are the
representatives of the greatest volun
teer army that ever responded to the
tocsin of war. And the halo of that
army's glorious achievements will re
flect honor on the Individual wearers
of the pendant hrnntse star as long
as a man Is left to exhibit It on his

where the people are developing a new
phase of human nature.
The doc-trine of the fatherhood ot
(Sod and the brotherhood of man has
more exponents under our flag than
under any ensign In the world!
Memorial day lias a significance for
the survivors of our nation's defenders
which does not. cein to be fully com
prehended by the mass of people who
enjoy the fruits of liberty and freedom
which the "Boys in Hlue" made pos
sible. Tlio men who served our country iu
the army and navy during the trying
ordeal between lSfil and ISfi.'i do not
need to be reminded that -May .10 is
hallowed.
While they retain memory there need
be no strain on the imagination to re
call the deeds of valor performed by
their comrades who gave their lives to
perpetuate our government.
Four hundred thousand dead, three
hundred thousand cripples for life, and
over one million mothers, widows and
orphans left, to mourn fin their loved
ones who never returned, signify to the
comrades of tlio Grand Army of the
l.enublir that the war for the Union
was the most extraordinary event le
eorded iu the annals of fratricidal
strife.
The remnant of our once mighty host
of self-denying patriots feel and know
what sacrllices were required of men
and women during the trying days
when secession was rampant.
While life last's they need not be told
of the privations and physical endur
ance of tho noble men who exhibited
the most unselfish patriotism when
good red blood was exacted as a vicari
ous atonement for a great national
wrong.
To peipetuate the glorious history of
ihe righteous cause for which our vall
um snwieivs and sailors so nobly con
tended; to show to tin1 world our ven
eration for tile memory of our sacred
dead, who freely gave their lives for
the laud lliey loved; to bless posterity
by the weight of their potent influence;
to aid deserving comrades iu distress,
and to help the families of those de
ceased, the Grand Army of the Repub
lic was organized,
All soldiers, sailors and marines
(tualllied to join our order should deem
it an honor to have their names en
rolled in tlio Grand Army of the Re
public, and they should deem It a privi
lege to help sustain an organization
of tho rank and llio of tho most in
telligent men over disciplined to meet
llio shock of battle, and which .stands
unique in the world's history.
Search the annals of events from
Ihe time of Noah until the year A. D.
Ie6ti and you will fall to ilnd a record
of any body, of discharged soldiers, or
sailors who ever conferred benefits nn
mankind by concentrated' effort. You
will also find that the myriads of men
who have shed blood on battle fields
for spoils, glory and conquest, have
no roll of honor like the men who
saved the Plilon and .sanctilled our con
stitution. During the last twelve months two
of the comrades, within our precinct
have gone to the bivouac of .silence:
Samuel !', Goodrich, tCompany H. Ono
Hundred and Seventy-sevdnth Penn
sylvania Volunteers, who resided in
(irccnlleld, and John Walker, Company
15, Fifty. siNth Pennsylvania Volun
teers, who resided at Maylleld,
Sluco last .Memorial day our local
comrades have exhibited a tenacity for
living whfch demonstrates that tliej
were splendid specimens of physical
manhood when, llioy worn soldiers.
They are all on earth today and most
of them able to participate in the ser
vice of decorating with fragrant. Mow
ers tho mound which cover I lie re.
mains of their comrades who wero
"mustered out."
On Memorial day lo( us show our in
spect for departed comrades by observ
ing tho forms and ceremonies pre
scribed by our order, and by trying to
luciileato a reverence for constitutional
liberty, equal rights and juslico to all
alike. Hy order of
John Mi-Comb, commander.
