FIRST RALLY OF THE
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
At the First Public Meeting, Held
in the Academy of Music Last
Night, L. A. Roberts, the Inde
pendent Candidate for Mayor, De
fines the Purposes of the League.
It Will Fight to a Finish for Mu
nicipal Water.
The first rally of the recently organ
ized Municipal Ownership leagui- took
place last night in the Academy of
Music, when L. A. Roberts, who will
stand as the league's representative
for mayor In the coming prlng elec
tion, delivered iv pointed address, In
which he cleurly dcllncd the purposes
of the organisation and declared also
that It was determined to fight the
battle of municipal control of water to
a llnlsh in the election in .February.
It was not Intended, It was declared,
that Mr. Roberts should address the
meeting, but when Thomas J. Mona
Khun, of the Central Labor union,
made the opening address, there was a
request from tho audience to hear .Mr.
Roberts. lie acquiesced and gave the
talk in which he made the plain stu.li
ments that sharply defined the pill'ley
of the league.
Mr. Roberts asserted the boiler that
the people of Carbondalo were face to
face with the most serious problem
that ever confronted them namely, the
casting off of the yoke of oppression
by which the Consolidated Water com
pany was weighing them down. It
is a mutter of asserting the rights it
a eltlisen of a free country in demand
ing that the water supply be taken
from the company in control and
placed in the hands of the citizens
whose right It was to be In possession.
Mr. Roberts pointed to the fact of
the Consolidated Water company pay
ing $10 for every one dollar represented
in the stock 01' the Fallbrook Water
company, and asked that if this water
plant. was worth so much to this con
cern, why was it not worth a good
deal more to the citizens of Carbon
dale. This was the purpose of the
league, to light to a finish at tills elec
tion, for It must he done then or never,
for the success of the municipal water
control, which would mean this much
towards the taxes of the city, a city
which is paying about the highest tn
rate In the country. This reduction
in taxes was the salvation of the peo
ple, for It would mean the bringing
hither of Industries which are now kept
away by high water rates and hlr.li
taxes.
Mr. Roberts warmly repudiated the
suggestion that the men fighting for
municipal water ownership were look
ing for a slake in the matter of dis
posing of the Ratnoin tract, on which
there Is an option an ti site for tin con
templated reservoir. He did not want
tho olllee of mayor for Its emoluments;
tho olllce would be an embarrassment;
but he wanted to become mayor in
oider to see to it that measures neces
sary to complete tho success of the
municipal water plant would be en
acted into law. He claimed that It this
election was lost to municipal water,
thero would be no relief, for no one
else would lake up the fight. In con
clusion, ho indicated that the league
was going to bo broad In Its work
and purposed looking after the inter
ests of tho city In .every direction, it
proposed to awaken tho interest of tho
taxpayers to the doings of council, and
would exert its inllueu'ces in pCh dl
rcetUins us making stre'et-'rallway com
panies pay for ts privileges and pre
venting tho city from becoming in
volved In unreasonable contracls for
street lighting, etc.
Busy at the Hotels.
TIiq past week has been the busiest
at the -local hotels in w number of
months. Thoro was a surprisingly
largo number of traveling men who re
mained In tho city for several days and
the Harrison (ina tho American were
pressed for room several nights. At
IhQ: Harrison for two evenings every
room was taken up nnd extra ar-

ranneinents had to ho mnde to accom
modate the drunnners who arrived on
tho lato evening trains. The number
of guests that remained over Sunday
was surprisingly large.
This exceptional Inilux of salesmen
and the length of time they remained
In tho city to fill the wunts of their
customers Is encouraging. It is un in
dication that merchants tire buying
heavily, which leaves the Inference
that tho purses of buyers are well
filled and In such condition as to war
rant a generous buying of wares.
COASTING ACCIDENT.
Eloven-Ycai'-Old Lamoreaux Boy
Crashed Into by a Bob Boy Was
Badly Injured.
Klevon-year-old Raymond Lumor
ouux, son of Charles Lamoreaux, of
Archbald and Klshth avenues, Is In a
dangerous condition, ns the result of a
coasting accident which occurred last
evening. Ills Injuries are a c'oncussslon
of tho brain, .bruises on the face and
possibly Internal Injuries.
With it number of companions Lam
oreaux was coasting on Park street.
The string of sleighs, with Lamoreaux
In the lead, stnrted down the steep
grade, tloing past Seventh avenue the
single sleigh was (lying. A large bob
coming down Seventh avenue, loaded
with a crowd of young fellows and go
ing nt u terrible rate of speed, crashed
Into Lnnioreattw The lad was thrown
quite a distance, while the large bob
spsd on Its way, the coasters doing
nothing toward stopping 11.
Several lads In the vicinity ran to
Lamoreaux. who was lylnjr seemingly
unconscious. Rlood was gushing from
his mouth and nose and crimsoning his
shirt. He was carried to his home,
corner of Eighth avenue and Archbald
street, and Dr. Andrew Xlles called. He
stopped the How of blood, but subse
quently at frequent Intervals the hem
orrhage continued. He suffered the
brunt of tho Injuries on the face. Ills
left eye was terribly swollen and a
large gash indicted on his cheek. He
also complained of pain in ills back and
it Is feared he Is internally Injured. The
doctor found that the patient had also
suffered a concussion of the brain.
As to the outcome of the Injuries, the
doctor could offer no opinion.
BIG ICE CROP.
Houses nt Lake Lodore and Nearby
Ponds Are Being Filled.
"How would you like to be the ice
man" never had a better application
since its origin than this year. Tho
reason Is that the festive ice man, the
man who owns the chunks of frozen
liquid, is to be envied. Though it's the
winter of the year, yet it brings to
him the summer of his content. This
year has been a remarkably good one
for the ice man. The almost unbroken
freezing weather has made it possible,
even necessary for him to say nothing
but cut Ice. T'fic biggest crop that
has been yielded in years is now being
harvested at the ponds hereabouts and
the man who cuts so much ice smiles
as lie packs his houses ami thinks of
the boiling days of "increasing tem
perature" that the Scruntnn weather
man furnishes during the summer. The
quality of ice, too, is the best and it Is
nn interesting sight to watch the
cakes of crystal as they are cut and
hoisted into the houses.
Ice is being harvested on nearly all
of the ponds hereabouts, but the most
Important place Is at Luke Lodore and
Keene's lake of the Lake Lodore com
pany. Hero a big force of men and
machinery have been at work cutting
ice for several weeks until now the
mammoth ice houses are llllod. Over
thirty-live thousand tons of Ice have
been stored in these Ice houses and
over 00 car loads, besides, have been
shipped to different points throughout
the state. This aggregate of these
shipments and the thousands of tons
In the Ice houses, is something that
one cannot righty conceive of. It
might be mentioned that this Is the
ice that will be supplied to Carbondal
Inns tho coming season.
At tho pond owned by Frank C.
Muun. of the Palace creamery, about
400 tons were cut and stored away,
This pond Is located along the Hones
dale branch of the Delaware and Hud
son, In the vicinity of the new found
ry of the Carbondalo metal works.
Tho Ice harvesting bus offered op
portunities for catching fish that tho
loveis of this spoil have taken due ad
vantage of. At Lake Lodore some
splendid cat-fish nnd pickerel have
been caught, Tho catches were large
and the fish were till of extraordinary
size.
STRICKEN WITH APPENDICITIS.

" Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Eighteen months ago I was a pretty
sick woman. I had felt for sonic months that I gradually grew
weaker, but finally I had such severe pains I could hardly stand it.
I had taken cold during menstruation and this developed into conges
tion of the ovaries and inflammation, and I could not bear to walk or
stand on my feet. The doctor recommended an operation which I
would not hear of. One of my friends advised me to try iLydiii E.
Pinklinm's Vogetnblo Compound, so I gave it a trial, Can
you imagine jny feeling when within two months I felt considerably
better, my general health was improved, and my pains had entirely
disappeared. I kept taking it six weeks more and am now enjoying
the best of health, thanks to you. Yours truly, Mrs. Sophie Binn's."

IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
Professor Churle.s Null), of "Washing
ton, D. C, who delivered the i lecture
of Rev. Dr. William Kirbj, on the
labor question, In St. Hose hall Friday
night, is nn earnest student In sociol
ogy and for a. young man shows a
wonderful grasp and knowledge of the
multitude of question that arise In
dealing with tho labor problem. As
stated, Mr. Nclll is a young man, in
tho beginning of the thirties, but he
lias won A standing- that many an as
sociate of maturer years does not en
joy. 'He is a Texan and while he has
the height that one conceives of tho
average native 'of the country of big
steers, he has not the mnsslveness that
one associates with the Idea of a man
from the big state that has the lati
tude of most of the nations of the
earth. He has thu appearance of a
student, and one Is not surprised to
hear him refer -to his college days as
of a brief time ago.
Mr. Nelll is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Georgetown, Washington,
nnd he has the honor of holding the
professorship or economics In the
Cuthnlte L'nlverslty at Washington, D.
C, the highest seat of learning In this
county that Is under the patronage of
the Catholic church. As intimated be
fore, this Is an honor which justllles
the highest pride, particularly in a
young man, such as Mr. ??.! 11.
Mr. Xelll, like all earnest students,
is always on the alert to acquire
knowledge of the conditions of labor
of every character, and the first sug
gestion he made, after arriving In this
city, was a visit to one of the mines
hereabouts. In company with some
Knights of Columbus members and
newspaper men, he donned- a miners'
suit and made an extended visit In the
Krle mine at Mayfield. During the
visit, he kept his guides busy answer
ing questions and there was scarcely
any information of seeming value to
him in his studies that he did not ac
quire. The visit was a prolltable one.
he declared, and he returned to the
university with u heap of knowledge of
the conditions of mining nnd mine
workers that will bo of value to hint.
His trip into the mine recalled to him
tin Interesting experience during tho
anthracite miners' strike of the full of
MOO. Mr. Xelll was on a visit at Hu-de-tou
when the conflict between some
miners nnd deputies look place. His
npepurauce Indicated ho was a news
paper correspondent. At any rate, ho
was mistaken for one, and' was as
signed certain work by other corres
pondent. Explanations seemed out of
order, so for several days he was
among tho most active of the Indus
trious correspondents, giving valuable
aid to them, at tho same time getting
a rare Insight into labor conditions of
the anthracite regions that ho could
not have otherwise obtained. It Is al
most needless to add that the recol
lection of tho experience is a pleasant
one.
The publicity that has been given the
recently established plant of tho Cross
Engineering company brings into
prominence tho head of tho concern,
Oeorgo W. Cross. Mr, Cross Is at tint
beginning' of a career that promises to
be a bright one In the innnufacturlni
world. Ho can take lila place among
t)io self-made men and not be tho
least ashamed of his achievement. On
the contrary, he has a number of things
of which ho can well boast. Nearly
his whole life bus been spent In the
pructlcal study of mechanics. Ills
father was a contractor and under him
Mr, Cross received a training which
ho inudu tho most of. Ho soon showed
signs of nn Inventive genius, which
continued to develop until It found
practical expression In coal screens
nnd other breaker machinery, which
have found such favor with colliery
owners that ho detflded to form a com
pany to exploit ills patents. These up
pUniices are to bo manufactured to
supply the demand und arrangements
are now under way to occupy the old
blacksmltlilng department of the Van
llergen company.

A pall of gloom settled down over
Blnkoly borough with tho coming of
darkness last evening, nnd many a resi
dent turned and twisted tho little rub
ber switch attached to tho electric light
bulbs, but tr no use. Thoro failed to
come nny glimmer of light, and the old
kerosene lamps were flshed out from
cellar and garret and were put Into use
to dispel the darkness that was spread
ing its mantle over the town. lilakely
borough was caught In the relentless
grasp of a powerful corporation and it
was useless to struggle, so the fires at
tho electric light plant were drawn and
the engineers sal down to await further
orders. The borough electric light plant
had used up a quantity of water be
longing to tho Scranton Gas and Water
company and the borough fathers had
failed to pay for the same promptly,
and the powers ordered that tho water
be shut off from the electric light plant.
This was done yesterday afternoon, and
that Is why the streets of Rlakely bor
ough looked dark and drenry last even
ing. The water' company people say:
"No pay, no water." The cause of the
trouble is the exorbitant price nsked by
tho water company for the water sup
ply. A water meter has been placed at
the plant and tabs kept on the water
used. The average per month has been
nearly $00, or $720 per year. Tills, coun
cil thought an outrageous price nnd re
fused to pay, asking for a lower rate.
The powers would not listen to a re
duction, and in conseauence the water
was 'shut off from the plant.
For some years much has been said
about tho necessity of a place in town
where the men, young and old, could
spend nn evening of enjoyment in
sociable company. However, nothing
was ever accomplished toward that end
until about two months ago, when, at
a meeting called for that purpose, It
was decided to form an organization
granting these privileges, to be known
ns the Olymphian Athletic club. Its
first object was to equip and maintain
to its members a first-class gymnasium.
After looking some time for a suitable
building, the club finally, through tho
efforts of Its president, I. F. Hoft, se
cured the Morgan store building and
leased the same for one year. At the
present time the club has about forty
members, also a gymnasium with most
of the necessary equipment. The club
will soon give a series of entertain
ments, the first of which will take place
Friday evening, January 31, with first
class talent. The speaker for this even
ing will be the Rev. A. II. Smith, of the
Providence Baptist church, one of the
prime movers in the Youns Men's
Christian ussoclatlon movement there.
The regular meeting of class No. 9
association will bo held at the home of
