A wedding which attracted much at
tention among the leading people of the

quiet way at tlm residence of Mr. .and
Mrs. William 11. Peck, when their elder
daughter. Miss Alice Louise, was mar
ried to Frank A. Kaiser, Their charm
ing home on Mousey avenue was made
summer-like in loveliness, with a
woi'lth of tropical plants, and chrysan
themums. The wall of the front draw
ing room were almost hidden by masses
of palms. Tin; mantel, starred with
marguerites, was effective In prratMe
ment, and portieres ot Florida sniilax
gave a light, and graceful touch to the
decorations. The Initial party was em
bowered in palms mid ferns during the
ceremony.
Tli bi Ide wore a beautiful gown of
l.iorre lace, over white satin and cu
rled a shower bouquet of marguerites.
Her sister, Miss CI race Peck, was maid
of honor. Her gown was pink mousse
line tie sole, striped with satin. She
carried pink chrysanthemum. The
best man was the groom's brother.
Charles Maimer, of Wllkes-Ilanv. The
ceremony, which was witnessed by tho
immediate relatives only, was pr
formul according to the ritual of the
Methodist Episcopal church by lev.

tho Applying of the Money for the
Construction of Permanent Im

Is Way Behind Other Cities.
Would Expend $100,000 In Improving-
the Streets.
Director of Public Works Uoche stat
ed yesterday afternoon thut lie favors
the Idea of bonding the city In the
stun of $200,000 or more for the purpose
of making certain Improvements, the
necessity for which he considers to be
absolutely Imperative.
Director noehe Is firmly convinced
thai certain Improvements should be
made, but he realizes that for several
reasons It will not bo possible lo secure
for his department mi appropriation
very largely in excess of the amount
expended during the present, year. This
most important of these reasons is the
attitude of city olllcluls generally who
are opposed to an Increase In the pres
ent tax rate. In an Interview with a
Tribune man yesterday afternoon Di
rector Ilnchu said:
"l believe that we have readied tl
period In the city's growth when cer
tain permanent Improvements should
be made and under existing circum
stances I believe that bonds should be
lloated to raise money lo carry out the
work, I would favor tho appropriation
of about $400,000, the amount appro
priated for the present fiscal year ami
the issuing of at least $200,000 worth
of thirty year bonds. The assessed val
uation this next year will amount to
at least $,'0,000,000. and there would be
suflicient margin for louurils to author
ize the Issue.
"J realize that' this idea will meet
with objection but In my opinion It Is
the best solution of the problem.
Scrnnton is now a city of over 100,000
inhabitants but. what has she got to
show In the way of Improvements as
compared with other cities of her size
in this country'.' Practically nothing.
STU13ET IMPROVEMENTS.
"I would expend $100,000 in improv
ing tho streets of this city. I'm not
cxagerating when t say that outside
of our paved thoroughfares and a few
avenues in the "hill" district we have
not got it single decent street in the
entire city. That's rather a broad
statement, but it is literally true. It
must be admitted that It's not a very
creditable showing for a city of our
size.
"We need the expenditure of til least
$100,000 on the streets to put them in
anything like first class condition. The
majority of them are worn down to
six, twelve and in some instances
twenty inches below grade and need
to.be entirely re-made. With $100,000
we could put every important street
in the city In shape to last for years
with but ordinary attention. Would it
be unfair to ask the rising generation
to pay for this work? T do not think
so.
"There are ways innumerable in
which tho other $100,000 could bo ex
pended in permanent improvements. I
could sit here for the next two hours
and recount to you how we could ex
pend lour times Unit sum, and still bo
far behind othor cities of our size. I
will simply point out a few tilings that
T believe to be necessary for my own
department alone.
NEW ROAD HOLLERS.
''We need u new yard and stables for
our horses, a pluca where we can prop
erly house our wagons, street cleaning
apparatus, tools and other parapher
nalia. We have only a couple of ram
shackle, tumble-down sheds for this
purpose now.
"W'u need two new road rollers to
properly carry on our work of street
repair, and we need for the same pur
pose a stoue-cruslilng machine. Wo
need a street-sweeping machine to
sweep the two miles and more of brick
pave recently laid in North Serantoti.
It will be too expensive to have this
pave cleaned by hand, and yet we will
have to do this, or neglect It, If wo
don't get a sweeping machine.
"We need sprinkling machines to
sprinkle the dusty roads in various
parts of the city during the summer
months. How are we going to get
them',' We need several new bridges
ami need them badly, especially one at
Cedar avenue and one. at Race street,
In North Serantoti, and then there's the
Lackawanna avenue bridge, which is
used more than any other iu tlte city.
Is there anyone who can say that that
Is a proper structure n bridge that
only one street ear can pass over at a
time'.' And so 1 could go on ad In
llnltuin showing things that ate needed,
not merely that we may spend money,
but that Serantou may vie with other
cities of her size,
"I wish that the citizens of this city
would study up municipal statistics a
little and lea rn what other cities are
doing, I wish they would realize that
Syracuse, N, Y a city of IOS.000 In

HOWELL IS A CANDIDATE.
The City Controller Would Like to
Succeed Himself.
City Controller Esdrns Unwell an
nounced yesterday afternoon to a Tri
bune man that he will bo a candidate
for the nomination for controller at. the
Democratic city convention which must
soon be held to nominate a candidate
for that otllce.
"A number of my friends ate urg
ing me to become a eniulldnte," said he,
"and I havo decided to enter the Held,
I think my chances of securing the
nomination arc very good."
ft is not generally known that a con
troller Is to bo elected this spring but
such Is the foci. The rest of tho elec
tive city olllcluls will hold over until
limit, under the provisions of the "rip
per" bill.
School Controller T. .T. Jennings Is
atso a candidate for the Democratic
nomination.
RAIN CAUSED
AN
INCREASE
Traffic on the Trolley Cars Compara
tively Large Strikers Say They
Are Not Discouraged.
Two days of heavy, cold rain, accom
panied by fitful winds, has had the ef
fect ot apostaslzlng many of the mem
bers of the country's bljr pedestrian
club.
The company tiuims that on Monday
it did sixty per cent, more business
than on any previous day In the six
weeks the. strike has been on, and that
yesterday the receipts were con larger
than those of Monday. Even the llelle-vue-Stone
avenue line, cm which cars
were run for a week at a time without
carrying a single passenger, had three
or four passengers on several trips
made yesterday. The Hyde Park and
South Side cars also carried a few pas
sengers on most of the tiirss, and on
the newly opened up Green illdgc Peo
ple's line ears were frequently half
filled. The Petersburg, Dunmore and
Quincy avenue cars, which have been
carrying passengers till along', were
generally comfortably filled yesterday.
The strikers are not al all uneasy
over the increase in the patronage.
They claim that the increase Is not
even as large as they themselves feared
It might be if bad weather set in, and
assuredly far from what the company
hoped for.
The company now has fifty-one cars
running. Its regular equipment is be
tween seventy and eighty.
An entertainment was given last
night for the benefit of tho strikers by
St. John's Total Abstinence and Be
nevolent society, at St. John's hall,
Cnpottse avenue. There was a big
crowd present, and a neat sum was re
alized for the strikers' treasury.
November 21, an entertainment for
the benefit of the strikers will be given
at Sarstield hall, Avoca. It will be con
ducted by a committee of the strikers.
The strikers tire seeming temporary
employment, and according to one of
tlte committeemen, all except fifty or
sixty are earning something right
along.
REPAIR OP SIDEWALKS.
Property Owners Must Put Them in
Shape or the City Will Do the
Work for Them.
Director of Public Works John E.
Roche has decided that tho sidewalks
lu every part of the city must be placed
in proper repair, and with this end In
view he is having notices prepared to
be sent out to all property owners
whose walks are in bad condition.
Ills intention Is to have employes
from the bureau of highways and sew
ers make an inspection of all the side
walks in the city and report lo the
superintendent all those that are not in
proper shape. A notice, will be sent the
property owner (o make the necessaiy
repairs, and If this is not done within
a. reasonable length of time the city
will have the work done.
The Act of lsol provides that the
property owner shall bo liable for the
cost of such repairs as the city, after
a reasonable, length of time, shall make
and gives authority for .the tiling of a
lien against the property The cost can
also be sued for lu an ordinary action

March 8, isos, and it alleges Hint the
Insulator made by the defendants is an
Infringement on this patent.
The defendants do not dispute thai
there has been an Infringement, if the
Rocli patent Is a. valid one, but they
attack Its validity on the ground that
It has no novelty and the process in
volved In Its manufnc'uie is not a pat
entable one.
They further allege that the Idea or
the Roeh Insulnlor Is borrowed from
an Insulator which Fred M. Locke tried
to have patented in 1S9T and for which
a patent was refused.
In making insulators for high tension
wites it is cFsenllnl that the lnsulatois
themselves shall be insulated, so to
speak, and to effect this they are mndo
of two or more pieces of porcelain, one
fitted into the other like two cups, one
slightly smaller than the other, and a
glazing material placed between them
for the purpose of fusing the pieces
anil solidly filling' in all spaces.
LOCKE PROCESS.
lu the Locke process, the space be
tween the Inner side of the larger bowl
and the outer side of the smaller bowl
were filled with a e.laze and then the
Insulator was annealed.
The Booh process follows the Locke
process as far as the Locke process
goes, but it goes much farther accord
ing to the claims of the plaintiffs and
the findings of Judge Archbald.
The I3oeh process demands that cups
when put in the annealing oven shall be
placed with tho rims upward, and that
lit a channel, grooved out between tho
rims, an extra quantity of glaze shall
be poured so that as the annealing and
fusing process goes on the filling up of
the most minute space is assured.
Tim Locke process did not call for
the extra glaze and the cups were
placed in the oven without regard to
position. The consequence was that
there being allowance for the contrac
tion of the porcelain while it was being
baked, there was no positive assurance
that the whole space between the cups
would be filled.
Tho Locke process, Judge Archbald
says, was one that any ordinary potter
might follow. The Boeh idea of pro
viding absolutely for the perfect filling
in of all the space existing before bak
ing or caused by the baking is that ot
genius, and therefore tin invention.
