THE FOOR BOARD'S
WARM SESSION
A. Heated Discussion Over the Doc
tor Question McMillan and Mc
Cabe Indulge in Pointed Repartee
It wart S15 Velork when Chairman
Thomas railed the poor boaid to older
last night. All the members weio In
their seats. The minutes of the last
meeting wore lead and adopted and
then Mr. MrCnbe. of the farm mm.
mlttee. reported that "there will he a
pretty good crop of oats, and the best
fields of potatoes In Greenfield town
ship, at the poor farm."
The following bills were read by Scc
jetary Williams:

McCabe wanted to know wiint tho
hoard Intended to do with Dr. Kelly's
hill for medical sen lees. He wnntcd
to know If Mr. Burke had been au
thorized to hire Dr Kelly. He argued
that the bill should he set nslde for the
present. He said that thf director
siioud have pone before the board and
cot authority to hire a doctor. He
didn't think It was right for the direc
tor to take the responsibility. He
added further that six week ago he
had asked the attorney's opinion as to
such a matter and had been Informed
that In the attorney's opinion the dl
lector had not the authority to hire a
doctor without consulting the hoard
w hlle the deadlock Is on.
Mr. Burke announced that his under
standing had been that In case of an
emcigeney the directors were to hlie
a do.'tor at their discretion. He nluo
stated that the case was one of abso
lute necessity.
Mr. McMillan took emphatic Issue
with Mr. Mi;abe, and wanted to know
what the board would do, had Mr.
Burke refused to give the medlcul re
lief andiho woman had died. The
boanL would then he worse off than to
pay $10 for a doctor's services when
needed. He thn quoted a case which
had come to his nttentlon. A blind
man. with four child! en, asked to have
them vaccinated at the board's expense.
He giantcd the icquest. He asked Mr.
McCabe what would happen If he had
not done so, to which Mr. McCabe re
torted that he supposed they would get
the smallpox. "What kind of a box
would I be in then?" usked Mr. Mc
Millan. Mr. Lynch thought the bill could be
collected, so should be paid. The chair
man, however, Fet the bill aside, pend
ing the securing of the opinion of the
attorney. The rest of the bills weie
then ordered paid, on motion of Mr.
Williams.
The matter of the poor farm water
works and plumbing system was then
brought up, and icsulted In a lengthy
discussion. Opinion was divided as to
whether the two branches of work
should be separate conn acts or let as
one Job. Mr. McMillan alone favoied
the foimer, so It was decided to let the
entire work to the one bidder.
After considerable discussion as to
the details of the ppeiillentlons pre
pared by Engineer B, IS. Blair, they
were finally nccepted and the socio
tary was Instiucted to adveitlse lor
bids, each bid to be accompanied by a
certified check of ten per cent, of the
amount of the bid, as a guarantee of
good faith, and the successful bidder
to give a bond of $500 for the faithful
performance of the work,
Mr. McCabe said' that some of the
almshouse Inmates aie badly In need
of medical attention. This provoked a
rambling discussion as to the rate a
doctor would probably charge for the
trip. Mr. Lynch suggested thnt the in
mates be m ought to town. Mr. Will
iams moved that the faun committee
be empoweied to send a doctor to the
farm at a fee not to exceed $3, This
provoked a wrathy discussion between
Mr. McMillan and Mr. McCabe, Mr.
McMillan claiming that It was not for
tho farm committee to tend to this
work. Mr. McCabe upheld the com
mittee, insomuch as the farm commit
tee Is In full charge of the farm. Tho
motion was put and resulted In a tie,
Messrs. Thomas, McCabe and Will
Isms .voting yea, and Messrs. McMil
lan, Lnch and Buiko nay, killing the
motion.
Mr. Williams then called the board's
tt.ten.tion to a Sixth waid case need
ng medical attention. It is a very
leserving ease, he said, and McCabe
npved that Mr. Williams he given
Jower to direct a doctor to attend the
vise. After a hot discussion between
UcMlllun and McCabe, which touched
ipon almost every subject discussable
iy a poor ho.ud, tho motion was
)ased.
" McMillan kicked very emphatically
igaln&t tho farm committee having to
lo with the farm Inmates, claiming
hit they should bo looked after by
1M dliectois fiom their seveuil
vards. He said the faim committee
.hould. not have the naming of the
doctors who should go to the farm.
Tlyinins asked that the names of
svery doctor In the city be put In a
iat and that the first one whose name
.vas picked out ho elected doctor, Mc
Millan would not agiee to this, how

because he wanted to hire the doctor.
McCabe speculated as to how Mc
Millan could reach such a. conclusion,
when he, McCnhe, had voted to send
a doctor to the farm ond McMillan
had oted against It. At this point,
Chairman Thomas put n stop to tho
discussion.
The question of electing a, tax col
lector was hi ought up, but as the tax
duplicate has not been completed, was
laid over till the next meeting.
On motion of Lynch, the board ad

A RIOTOUS TIME.
Patrolman Carden and Spocial
Policeman Wills Have an Exciting
Timo with a Crowd of Boisterous
Young Mon in tho Dundaff Section
of Town.
Theio was n ilotous timo In the
Dundaff section of tho town between 1
and 2 o'clock yesterday morning. Jt
was caused by a paity of bolsteious
oung men who took umbrage at the
action of Patiolman Cat den to sup
pi ess the dlsoider they weie causing,
and It ended In the attest of thiee of
the patty and their being lined by
Mayor Kllpatrick. Before the men
were locked up, they made matters
lively for the pattolman and Special
Policeman Hairy Wills, who came to
his assistance.
The alleged fads of the happening
nie that the p.nty of live ynung men
weie moie or lcs:i Intoxicated. They
weie stationed at the Dundaff street
crossing and weie loudly blusterous.
Patrolman C.trden admonished them to
be quiet, hut one of tho number, Mich
ael Howard, of Dundatf sticet, was so
nolsv that ho was ordered home. Sne-
clal Olllcer Wills was called by Patrol
man Carden, and with How aid In tow
they marched tow aid tho hitter's
home. It was tho policeman's inten
tion to guide Howard to his home. In
order to keep him out of trouble, but
Howard was not disposed to yield and
Blabbing a stone he threatened to
brain the patiolman. He didn't entry
out his threat, but dnitcd up the street
and across a lot and through an alley
way. Wills was in close pursuit and
was caught on tho foot by a stone,
thrown presumably to strike Carden.
The patiolman overtook Howard nnd
started off again, but this time for the
police station. Howard's companions
wanted him released, and tho refusal
pieclpltated a light between the po
licemen and the quintette of youns
men. In the midst of the scrimmage,
one of the young men got hold of a
piece of Iron, a shoe brake, w hldi he
threatened to use. The policemen
feared he would and dtew their tevol
ers. This subdued the young men'Vi
war-like spltlts and they desisted. The
patrolman and his companion police
man renewed the Journey to the polh e
station, and in passing the house of
one of the party who ran ahead and
trok lcfugo there, nn earthen pitcher
came sailing alter them. It was In
tended for "that d u Carden," a
voice shouted alter them, but It just
missed the patrolman,
In front of the city hall two of the
party, Kdward Dougherty and (ieorgc
Mannlon weie awaiting the policemen.
There was another mix-up, hut less
fierce, which ended yesterday in the
three being Incarcerated. Yesterday
inoinlnrr the mavor lined Howard.
Mannlon and Doughei ty each $S. War
rants will likely be sworn out for the
arrest of the two who got away.
Patrolman Carden's helmet was bat
tered out of shape, and Its stoutness
Is what preserved him from injury.

TAKEN WITH HEM0RHAOE
John J. Monnhan, Proprietor of
Hotel Harrison, Violontly Stricken
While Attending to Work About,
tho Hotel Ho Rallied, but for a
Timo tho Result Was Doubtfull.
John J. Monuhan, proprietor of
Hotel Hanison, was taken with n
hemorrhage of the stomach about 2.30
o'clock yesterday afternoon nnd suf
fered such a loss of blood, which re
duced him to so weakened a condi
tion, that for a time his life hung
In the balance. About nn hour after
the attack, a reaction took place nnd
Mr. Monahan gradually tallied aijd
wmh restoied to consciousness. About
an hour Inter he had nnother attack,
which was not so severe, but which
made hlin weaker. Later Dr, (Hills
was called. The physlclnns both de
clare that Mr. Monohan's condition la
exceedingly grave.
Mr. Monahan was stricken while
standing behind the hotel desk, mak
ing repairs to one of tho curtains. His
daughter. Miss Catheilne, was beside
him. One nf the patrons of the hotel,
John Oalloghor, fruit house agent from
Scrnnton, npptoaehed the desk and
asked for a cigar. Mr. Monahan did
not heed his icquest, but asked Mr.
Gallagher to help him. Mr. Monahan
began to weaken, nnd the color of
his face .changed to a death-like pal
lor. He was about to topple, when
Mr. Gallagher supported him. He
asked to be taken upstalis lo his
loom, nnd (filling Saloonkeeper John
Mannlon from next door, Mr. Galla
gher, with the hitter's assistance,
helped the stiicken man to the tip
per Moor, Mr, Monahan lay on the
bed, but when he aioso to a sitting
attitude n moment later a stream of
blood faltly shot fiom his mouth and
continued to flow until Mr. Monahan
was exhausted. Dr. Kelly was has
tily called and adnilnstered stiong
stimulants, which icvlved the heait
action and Mr. Monahan was able lo
recognize those about him anil ton
veise about his attack.
Mr. Monahan has been In good
health, although yesteiday he com
plained of a feeling that caused him
to fear an attack of pneumonia.
MENTION OF MEN
BEFORE THE PUBLIC EYE
Pie.ident Patrick llugher. of the Cai
bnndak board of education, entcicd
Into the nlllce of the picsldenoy with
an exceptional roenid as sccietary of
the boat ri, and those who know' the
man believe that he will fulill what he
said, when on the night of his election
he deflated thnt he accepted the oiTlce
without any strings, and Intended to
be piesldent In tact, as well as In
name. This is one of Mr. Hughes' most
pionilncnt and maikecl chaiacteiistli s,
Ills l'tauknvss and his linuiiess ot pin
pose. While he Is frnnk, he is not of
fensively so, but when he expiesxo.s his
opinion n to how this, that or the
other thing he done, he usually dings
to that opinion nnd e.en Ises his will
lo its cat lying out, If his move be in
accordance lt;i the wishes of the ma
Joilty. About Mr. Hughes' work as
sect etary. When he took that olhcc
the books weie in a chaotic condition
and It requited a good deal of appli
cation and diligence to bring th.m
about to his method, but he accom
plished this, ond on the night of tho
reoiganbation of the board they weie
III leadluesH to he tinned over to his
succe.-(-or. This moie fact would, pei
haps, not call for any special notice,
weie it not that It was the tlrst time
In over twenty years that such n fact
could he legended. This was not ovei
looked, either by the retiilng president,
Mr. Hockenhciiy, who felt constrained
to sincerely compliment Mr. Hughes,
and In a public manner, on his career
In the secietary's office.
Mr. Hughes, as n citizen, U of that
type that Is progicsslvc nnd fotwnrd,
and alwas alive to evety movement
that means the ndvnncfment of the
city's Intel ests. He belongs to that
cinss In Ameilcan life that diffuses o
much pleasuie and sunshine In their
dally doings the jolly diuinmcr and It
goe without snylng that his company
Is always enjoynble.
These are the d.os that brlpg glnd
ncrs to Richard I'dy. the nctlve and in
dustrious keeper of Memoilal paik, for
Nature, in the dress In which he best
admires her, Is out In all her glory. Mr.
I'dy has an Innate love for flown 8 and
beautifully vvi ought landscapes, nnd his
well-developed senses of the beautiful
In i.utuie causes him to toil diligently
nnd constantly among the yards and
gaidens that aie committed to his care.
Memoilal paik is a good example of
his artistic taste ana skill nnd toll, and
Its finely kept appeaiance always calls
forth well-desei vod compliments fiom
sti angers who visit the town.
Mr. I'dy Is an Inteicstlng character,
decidedly oilglual, quite an entertnncr,
when ho has experiences to relnte, nnd
a genial, whole-souled little man, Utile
only, however, In statute.
Carbond.de has icason to value Its
(lie department and to lavish praise on
tho young men who volunteer In the
service that means tho salvation of
lives and tho ptotectlon of the homrfl
and business house from dlsasttous
fires; nnd tho city has also good teason
to believe that in Chief John J. Me
Nulty the department, has n head that
Is competent to direct It and who Is
nhvnys on the nlcit to lmpiove the
means of coping with tho dcstiuctlve
lire evil.
The chief, while ho has hilsluess In
teiests thnt make demands on his time,
Is never too occupied or absorbed with
them to subordinate the inteicsts of
tho department or cause them to suffer
In nny way. The tiro department oc
cupies n topmost place In his thoughts
and the now means of fire. fighting
which he adapts to the servico fiom
time to time, ond the nttentlon that he
gives the needs of the mcmbeis of the
dcpaitment. nie nmplo testimony of
this fact. The most tecent adoption of
the chief's Is a Miller smoke helmet,
nn appliance thnt Is In use In all of
tho large elites, and which has proven
Its effectiveness. The helmet ilts over
tho head and fnce of n tit email, and
allows him to work In the nfidst of a
suffocating smoke.
Chief MrNulty Is styled "Happy"
McNulty by his Intimate fi lends, and
the title U no inlanomer, for he ter-
tnlnly comes under the head of what In
common parlnnce is a "good fellow."

"I have been troubled with catarrh
In head, throat and stomach for sev
eraol yeais, and from accounts that I
have lead in several newspapers of tho
good effects thnt many have received
from Peruna. and whose veracity could
not he doubted, caused me to give It a
tilal, and I bless the day that I did
make a trial. It has made a new man
of me.
"I was all my life up to about flvo
years ago a very healthy man, nnd
about that time I was troubled with
cataiih. I tried a number of prescrip
tions fiom dliferent doctors, but nono
seemed to relieve me until I com
menced the use of Peruna. and from
Its use 1 can truly say that I have
bVcn greatly benefited.
"I nm now in my eighty-seventh
year nnd can walk and get about
as well as many much younger than
myself nnd e.ttribute it greatly to
the use of Peruna. I keep some on
hand all the time, nnd consider It the
cheapest medicine In the world." Mr.
A. Howell.

melted butter over them. After boil
ing they may be mashed and seasoned
with butter, salt and pepper, if de
sired.
A way of preparing boiled cucum
bers, fhlch can be made to tempt tho
appetite of the chronic dyspeptic with
Impunity. Is to paie them as before
and mt them Into email legular pieces,
put them In a baking pan, cover with
boiling water and rook gently for
twenty minutes. They can be taken
out with a stialncr. arranged on sllceu
of toast and served with a cie.im
sauce.
Cucumber soup with Its delicate fla
vor Is nn excellent Introduction for a,
hearty meal. Cucumbeis stlried with
onions are a vailation pilzed by thoso
who like onions. A paitleulaily artis
te way of pteparlng cucumbeis for a
luncheon or for a cool supper on a hot
night Is to pate, them ns usual. Then,
Insteal or slicing them, pate them
lound nnd round to the soft Inside,
which must not be used. The cucum
ber ilbbons heaped Into a dish and
served with Fiench dressing aie as
pretty to look nt as they aie good to
eat.
The leclpes for ctieumbeifl in salad
arc as numerous as blickberres in
August. There Is cucumber salad
plain, cucumber salad with tiny young
onions sliced with it, cucumbers with
lettuce and tomatoes, cucumbeis with
Just tomatoes and cucumbers In so
many other combinations that they
are harder to compute than nn ex
ample In peimutotons and combina
tions. Ftench diesslng or mayon
naise dresalng Is equally good, accoid
lug to the taste of the Individual. Cu
cumbers cut Into cubes half an Inch
squaie, with sliced tomatoes on lettuce
leaves covered with mayonna.se dress
ing are exticmely good to eat and
make a color combination which any
well-regulated painter could not help
admiring.
Cucumbers', like apples, bananas and
egg-plant. an sometimes fried; for
this they should be cut lengthwise In
to slices one-thid of an Inch thick,
diled between towels and sprinkled
with salb and pepper. Then they
should be dipped Into crumbs, Into
egg, Into crumbs again, filed In deep
fat and dtalned.
Stuffed cucumbeis are quite the moc-t
elahoiato dish that can be mado of
this vegetable. The cucumbers nro
cut In half crosswise and the sceda
lemoved. The halves lire then soaked
in cold water for half an hour and fill
ed with forcemeat. Next they are
placed upright on a trivet In a sauce
pan, half sunounded by while stock
and cooked for forty minutes. They
are served on toast with Bechamel
.sauce
