THE MAYOR'S VETO.
Councils Did Not Heed His Message
with Reference to tho Lighting
Contract and Did Not Meet in
Joint Session.
Councils did not seem to heed the
message of Mayor Kllpatrlck which
contained his veto of the resolution
awarding the three years' lighting
contract to the Lackawanna Valley
company, for there was no Joint ses
sion last night to consider his veto.
In vetoing a measure, the mayor,
by the act of 1SS9. s directed to so
Inform councils and to call them In
special session to consider his veto.
Since councils did not heed the
mayor's message and elected to re
main away, It would seem that his
veto would he effective and that the
contract has heen set aside.
What, If any, nction the councils
will take with reference to the light
ing contract, none of the couneilmen
would Indicate last night. There were
enough of the couneilmen In ani about
the city hall to have a meeting of
both bodies, but there was a marked
apathy shown.

STEAKS SERVED
A LA GLUCK
What a Simpson Man Did to Three
Juicy Sirlions When Ho Found
Thoy Had Not Been Cooked on His
Homecoming on Pay Day Night.
Tho Story Ends in 'Squire Lynch'a
Ofllcc.
There is a man In Simpson who has
a novel way of serving sirloin steak,
particularly on a pay night, when
things don't seem to he coming his
way.
This man, one Steve Oluek, came
home a few night ago and proceeded
to serve three sirloin steak after a
fashion that would make the face of
a chef in a '"hurry-up" restaurant
crimson with embarrassment. It was
pay rylght. this night, nnd when Oluek
reached home he expected to see an
Inviting supper before him. He was
disappointed. His wife had been busy
with her household duties and the
best she could do was to have the re
quisites of the evening meal ready
to be transformed Into tempting
dishes. Cluck, however, didn't want
to wait. Like the man who comes Into
a restaurant with a roomful before
him and wants the waiters to go
through a sort of chain lightning move
to serve him, Oluek wanted his steak
and right away, quick. The steaks
were before him, three of them, one
on top of the other. The sight of
them changed his disappointment to
anger, and. wildly grabbing them, he
started out to serve them a la Gluek.
Oluek's father-in-law. Adam Wolf,
lives next door. This is where Mrs.
Oluek takes refuge when her husband
goes on the warpath, which occurs
only when he takes to drinking. The
man with the steaks, two in one hand
and one In the other, crossed over
and passed the threshold of the Wolf
home. The first man he met was his
fatherin-law. He didn't inquire, hut
lot fly In the old man's face. Wolf
has no scruples against a juicy steak,
when It has the proper trimmings, but
he does object to taking It a la Oluek.
so he started after his exceedingly
generous son-in-law, to enter a pro
test. Oluek. however, was too busy to
dally, and he railed through the
house in search of another victim to
initiate Into his art of serving steaks
while you look. Soon he came across
Mrs. Wolf. As before, he didn't ask,
"How do you like your steak, rare,
well done or medium," but sailing It
around, gave It to her full In the
face.
There was one steak left. This was
Intended for Mrs. Oluek. hut she had
discreetly fled nnd was nowhere to
be found. Oluek still had the steak
and somebody must have It. in order
to complete his demonstration. After
searching about and finding no one to
serve, he concluded that the side of
the house was as good a place as
another to be treated to the remnant
of his unserved supper, nnd he slam
med the sirloin against the siding.
Oluek, by this time, was well wound
up to the excitement of the occcasion,
and to further relieve himself of his
energy, he gathered up a number of
stones, with which he practised his
marksmanship until he had broken a
half dozen windows In his house. Thus
far It was only fun for Oluek. hut now
he was going to mix his jokes with a
bit of excitement. He procured the
family oil can and, pouring some of
the fluid about a part of the house,
he sought a match to start a blaze.
This was carrying a joke too far,
Cluck's folks thought. They didn't
strenously object to his steak party,
but they drew the line of such a
costly hon lire and Oluek found him
self in the lock-up.
In the morning he was taken before
Justice Lynch, where three charges
confronted him making threats, as
sault and battery and malicious mis
chief. Cluck's bravado of the night
before had entirely disappeared. In
fa t. he couldn't recollect the steak
episode nor any other of his pranks.
He was meekly penitent and asked
that the charges be settled. What
Cluck's family aimed at was his re
formation, so on his taking the pledge
for a year, the charges were with
drawn nnd on payment of costs, he
was discharged.
Thus endeth the story of "Steaks a
la Gluck."

Pills That Makes Them Great
Mr. Henry Albert, of No. fiK Birch
street, Scranton. Pa , says: "For about
two years my back and kidneys had
been sore lame, and tho secretions in
bad shape. Nothing seemed to help
until I got Dr. A. W. fhaso's Nerve
Pills at Matthews Bros.' drug store,
No. 32ft Lackawanna avenue. They did
the work, curing the soreness and
lameness, making the secretions heal

HOME FROM PHILIPPINES.
Will Pouckort and Joe Duggan Mus
terod Out of Service.
Will Peuekert and Joe Duggan
young men whose homes art on Hos
pital ptreet, reached home yesterday
from the Philippines, where their regi
ment, the Forty-first, was mustered
out of service some time In May,
Peuekert and Duggan left the Phil

Peuekert and Duggan went over the
Atlantic and through the Suez canal,
and on their return they came over
the Pacific, so they practically went
round the globe.
Peuekert and Duggan's bronzed skin
shows that they lived under tropical
skies. Duggan Is in splendid health,
hut Peuekert is not well, having been
sick for three or four months before
leaving the East.
Both of the returned soldier are
well known young men and since their
return they have heen busy receiving
the warm welcomlngs from their
friends.
Edward Scott, also of the West. Side,
who was mustered out with Peuek
ert and Duggan, is In New York city,
but Is expected home within a short
time.
Arthur Fenton, who also went from
this city, and. with the trio above,
obtained a position In Manila and in
tends to remain there.
MEMBERSHIP GROWING.
The Carbondale Cycle Club Gains
Accessions atEaoh Meeting Band
Concerts Proposed for the Summer
Evenings.
The ne- vitality with which the
Carbondale Cycle club was endowed
this spring Is beginning to manifest
Itself, and the organization is as big
a factor In the social life of Carbon
dale as the Scranton Bicycle club in
the Electric City, which is saying a
good deal.
The signs of the increased Interest
In the club are especially shown In
the continued accessions that are
made to the club's membership. The
activity of the members in the club's
doings has been the means of attract
ing to the Interesting phase of club
life that tho organization offers nnd
there has not been a meeting since the
recent election of officers at which
there has not been four or five ap
plications for membership to be acted
upon. Tonight the club meets, and
there are a half-dozen applications
awaiting action. For this reason the
members are urged to attend.
The lecture course, which was in
stituted by President Kimball, the
dub's energetic nnd progressive chief
officer, has been attended with splen
did results, and It has probably been
chief among the means to which the
wider Interest In the club can be
credited. These lectures and other en
tertainment;) will he continued
throughout the summer and autumn.
The band concerts, which wore so
pleasant and popular last summer,
will probably be repeated this year,
before the warm weather ends. Tho
club is considering this proposition
now, and It Is likely that the public
will participate in the benefits of the
public spirit of tho club before the
summer is over.
A SPIRITED CONTEST.
Being Waged Among Members of
Daughters of Rebokah for Lodge
Decoration.
There Is .quite a spirited contest
among the memhers of Lueretla lodge,
Daughters of Rcbekah, for the choice
for the degree of chivalry, which will
be conferred at Lake Lodore on Odd
Follows' day, on August 9.
This decoration Is the highest that
can be conferred on the members of
the lodge, and this accounts for the
spirit of ilvalry that marks the con
test. All of the members of HebcKah
lodge are qualified to receive the de
gree, hut as the lodge Is entitled to but
two candidates the choice must be de.
elded by vote. The hustling after these
votes has stirred the members for sev
eral weeks, and tonight tho balloting
will take place. The keenest interest
has been shown, and tonight's meeting
will no doubt be marked by the largest
attendance In months.
The conferring of the degree will be
a big event among the Odd Fellows of
this section, and all of the prominent
workers of the order will be at Lake
Lodore on that day. The staff officers
of the state will officiate.
GAMDETTA'S AFFLICTION.
A Simpson Man Taken with Dan
gerous Attack of Appendicitis.
Andrew Oamdetta, of Simpson,
came into the office of Dr. A. F. Oll
lls on Sunday afternoon. He had a
pain, a terribly pain, In his stomach,
he said, and the look of agony on his
face confirmed his words. The doctor
examined Oamdetta, the examination
disclosing a badly diseased vermiform
appendix. He advised the patient to
go Immediately to Kmergency hospi
tal to be operated on. Oamdetta con
sented and In the evening he was oper
ated on and what was left of 1 is
appendix was removed. The explora
tion of the opening showed that Oam
detta was In an extremely dangerom
condition and that his visit to Dr.
Gills' office was timely, as it Is
doubtful If he could have survived
much longer.
Last night Oamdetta's condition was
exceedingly favorable.
