member of tlio lioily reonitdod his vote
against the recommendations roiitalneil
In the communication Hint ciinie from
Mayor Kllpalrlck.
The favorable action of councils to
ward Dr. Nilos was in accord with the
opinion that ho expressed In this de
partment of the Tribune yesterday,
when he declared that the position
taken by the mayor was absurd both
as to tin- law mm to the sentiment ot
the people. The doctor, as stated In
the Tribune yesterday, talked with the
confidence of one who knew what the
morrow would bring forth, and while
he did not make any prophecy as, to
the action of councils on the muyor'.
inmimiiilcation. yet ho Indicated that
everything would he In his favor and
he did say that there would bo no
resignation forthcoming. The action
of councils seems to coiilirin his judg
tnent of the result of the mayor's
move.
The mailer of Dr. Nilos" removal
came up in councils when the order of
communications was reached.

So soon as the coininiiiileatloiiH were
read, .Mr. Itattlo wan on his feet and
said, "I niovo, Mr. Chairman, that
wo lake action on (bono conihutnlea
tJniia without reference to the com
mittee." The motion was secondod by
Mr. Thompson, and wan expeditiously
disposed of, all of the membera ot
Int? In Its favor.
This lefl the matter to bo disposed
of In the council chamber.
As wiih shrewdly suspected, the
members of council wore ready ami
anxious to set aside tlio rpcommonda
tlnns of the mayor, and Mr. Thomp
son Immediately followed with a mo
tion that "Wo do not concur In the
recoiniiiondatlniiH of the mayor."
Ills motion found a ready focoiiiI in
Mr. Ilattlo. and the next and last step
In the prouramnio to sot aside the ac
tion of the mayor, was taken when
the motion was put and a loud chorus
echoed through tlio council chamber.
The motion was unanimously car
ried, the mayor's recommendations
woio thrust aside without the least
ceremony, and the ennnclliuon seom
liiKly admlnlsterd a rebuke to the
citizens, however few or numerous
they were, who came to the mayor
rn'ritestliifr ajralnst Dr. Nibs reten
tion In oflloo. Th". action of councils
Is interpreted by Dr. Nlles' friends,
who are legion in Ibis city, as it public
vindication, particularly since every
member of council responded In Ills
behalf and with united voice declared
he should not bo removed from ollleo
for the misconduct alleged by the
mayor. Another circumstance that is
pointed out is that council did not
deem the matter of such Importance
as to be referred to committee, but
disposed of It forthwith, without
ceremony or without debate.
As to the reference in tbo mayor's
communication that the driver gave
Dr. Nlles fifteen cents for the body.
Dr. Nlles makes a vigorous denial,
and disclaims all knowledge of any
money transaction between himself
and the driver.
Other Select Council Matters.
When the matter of the confirma
tion of V. C. rjolvin of the Fifth
ward, as member of the Hoard of
Health, came from committee, It was
learned that there wore two reports
one a minority signed by Mr. Mun
ition recommending the confirmation;
the other with the signatures of Mr.
Dnttlo and Mr. Thompson, opposing
the coiillrinatiou. The report of the
latter set forth that A. C. Tilfany, the
number whom Mr. Colvln, the mayor's
appointee, would succeed, had satis
factorily discharged the duties of hi
ofilce and Unit his valuable services
were worthy of his ro-appoliilmenl.
When the minority report was taken
up to be voted on. Mr. Munition said
in behalf of his report that the mityor
in naming .Mr. Colvln as Tiffany's
successor, considered his duty well
before acting, and admitting that Mr.
Tilfany was all that tlio majority ot
the committee declared him to be.
Mr. Munition could see no reason why
the mayor's action should not be con
curred In.
When the vote was recorded the mi
nority report was declared lost, Mr.
Mannlon and Mr. Davis being the only
members v.oting in favor of It.
He fore Iho majority report was
voted on, Mr. Thompson declared that
when a member of the board of health
discharged his duties satisfactorily,
there was no reason why the mayor
was set aside. Messrs Ilattlo, Thomp
son and Barrett .sustained the report.
There was a communication re
ceived from ft. A, Franks, cashier for
Andrew Carnegie, to whom the ordin
ance providing for the acceptance of
the library gift from Mr. Carnegie
was forwarded for bis inspection, In
which ho declared that tlio library
oiler was conditioned on the city
making a permanent annual appro
priation of ?2..ri00, and not ten annual
appropriations, as comprehended in
the ordinance. (
Mr. Franks suggested, therefore,
that this clause in the ordinance bo
changed to read a permanent ap
propriation, instead of for a term of
ten years, as the oll'er depended on
this provision being made.
The commuiilcation was referred to
the huildhiK committee, In whoso
bands the ordinance Is at the present
time.
The resolution in common council
providing for supplies for the Mitchell
Hose company was concurred In.

AN ALLEGED NUISANCE.
Complaint Lodged Against a Bone
Depository on Blver Street.
The Tribune has been apprised of an
alleged nuisance on Illver street, and
has been requested to call attention to
some of the reported objectionable
and offensive conditions that surround
the place.
The place Is claimed to bo a bono do.
posltory; that Is, It Is the contral point
of tho wagons In this vicinity which
aro owned by the dcssloathig works
located at Taylor, below Scranton.
Tbo complaints that have been lodged
against this alleged bono depository
aro that wagons urn allowed to stand
in tho barn-yard for a day or two,
loaded with bones, scraps of moats and
tho different offal gathered from the
meat markets along tho routes of the
wagons. This collection gives off a
varied assortment of odors well calcu
lated, according to tho testimony uf
the complainants, to call for tho rapid
covering of noses of those who aro so
unfortunato as to bo In the vicinity
during tho stay of tho refuse-loaded
wau'ous,'
flu two occasions dead animals were
allowed lo remain In the yard for two
days, tbo carcasses hi tho meantime
giving off odors of Hampsou-llko
strength. Once, about tho middle of
April, two departed mules remained In
the yard for two days beforo they were

given The Tribune.
To say the residents In the vicinity
of this temporary stoppings place of de
parted animals ure Indignant, Is a
feeble expression of how they feel
towards whoever may he responsible
for the nlleged conditions about tho
place, nnd they vigorously proclaimed
that helpful measures would ho cm

tho reported nuisance, If tho parties
responsible for Its continuance do not
heed the protests that have been
tittered against those reported practices.
LOOKING-UP
THE SPEAKEASIES
Hev. W. H. Williams, tho Drummer
Evangelist, Visits Carbondale on
What He Calls a "Feeler," to De
termine What Support Would Do
Given a Movement to Eradicate
the Unlicensed Saloon Evil.
Ttev. W. II. Williams, the drummer
evangelist, from Scranton, whose
presence has been felt In this city be
fore, during bis crusade against un
licensed saloons, was a visitor to Car
bondalo yesterday
Rev. Mr. Williams' mission here was
what he called a "feeler." He came
bore to seek the advice of some of the
promlnnt churchmen of the town, as
to a movement against the "speak
easies" In and about 'the city. He
sought the Interest nnd support of a
number of citizens, and to the Tribune
representative ho declared he was well
satisfied with his visit. Those whom
be approached showed a sympathy
that Indicated a hearty support of any
movement tending townrds a suppres
sion of the unlicensed saloon evil. The
work, Mr. Williams explained, Is besot
with ninny difficulties, there are al
ways many Influences arrayed against
one in a crusade of this character, as
has been attested on many an occa
sion, and ho did not feel encouraged
to take action unless assured of an
element of strong support 'from among
the citizens of the town. This, Mr.
Williams said, he felt encouraged tu
state would bo at hand In case ho de
cided that arrests would bo necessary
to bring about a suppression of Illegal
liquor traftlc.
Mr. Williams did not say what, If
any. action he would take, but he
hinted that his presence here could bo
Interpreted as a warning to un
licensed dealers in this community.
He went to Scranton last evening, but
expects to return in a few days.
SCHOOL BOARD
REORGANIZATION
It Is Expected Thnt the Directors
Will Throw Aside Their Differ
ences and Will Elect Officers at the
Adjourned Session of This Even
ing How the Election May Re
sult. Tho Carbondalo school board, which
adjourned on Monday night with a
deadlock over the office of president,
the very first step towards re-organizing
for the coming year, will moot
to-night in the high school building
for tho purpose of carrying out the
work which was not oven fairly begun
at Monday night's session.
It is expected, and it seems almost
certain, that by to-night tho directors
will havo thrown aside the differences
that kept them apart on Monday
night and will effect a permanent or
ganization. Tho indications now are that tho
meeting will bo to all intents and
purposes a love feast, and there will
be no hitch or oven the semblance of
a hitch In the reorganization.
The precedent of tho board, which
has been established for about thirty
years, will not ho departed from this
year, as was suspected, and the elec
tion of ofllcors will be followed as
heretofore. Kx-Secrctary Hughes will
go Into tho ofTleo of president. Mr.
Kcrwln will succeed Mr, Hughes as
secretary and Mr. iSweigert will be
given the office of treasurer.
This Is the programme that should
bo followed If precedent Is to govern
the directors, and precedent will gov
ern unless well, unless some of the
directors resign, which Is umong tho
remotest of possibilities.
Of course there will be Interesting
developments at least they are
looked for after reorganization hus
been effected.
For Instance, thero Is the principal
ship but It Is probably too early, In
fact It Is foolish, to speculate on tho
possibilities of that contest and tVe
Tribune, like tho puhllc, will bide its
time for developments In that direc
tion; also as to the othor matters
which aro likely to provoke more than
passing comment.
THE CLERKS TO ACT.
Steps That Will Be Taken to Enforce
Early Closing Movement.
As stated In yesterday's Tribune, the
Clerks' association at Tuesday night's
meeting decided on what stops to take
to bring about a strict obedience of tho
early store closing agreement.
A committee of clerks was appointed
to Investigate tho cases of alleged vio
lation of tho agreement and to urge
upon those who aro charged with re
maining open after hours tho neces
sity of closing promptly at O.tiO, Jf tho
movement would survive, Several cases
aro known of, where merchants havo
persisted In disregarding tho rule of
discontinuing buslnoss at K.:m tho hour
agreed upon and It Is to theso that
the clerks havo been directed to turn
their attention,
It Is hoped that all of tho merchants
will conform to tho wishes of tho
Clerks' association, but If there he con
tinued opposition tho matter will likely
bo taken before the Central union for
that body to bring about what the as
sociation alms at.
The secretary of tho association was
also directed to notify tho Merchants'
association that certain of their mem
bers wcro not showing tho right spirit
in the early closing movement, and
that Insistence on their part w.s an
Important factor In effecting e. general
observance of the movement.
Going to the Klondike.
Mrs. Delcher and daughter, of South

The two exceptions In tho rinsing,
arc the High school, which will not
bring Its sessions to an end until Juno
11, and No. 8 school, on Belmont street,
which will close the middle of next

reason of tho two schools referred to

closing dnys, becaure of repairs that
wore being made about the respective
buildings.
