No afternoon reception in this city has surpassed in elaboration of de tail and beauty of decoration that Sjyen by Mis. Kufus J. Foster yester day afternoon at her elegant home on Clay avenue. The house, which is ex ceptionally adapted to entertalnlng.was exquisitely adorned under the direction of Mrs. Muir. The balustrade of the staircase, whose several landings offer picturesque effects, was hidden by Florida smllax. The reception room was a bower of gicen, a particularly "harming arrangement being fringes of lovely ferns surmounting the deeply embrasured doors and windows. The color scheme in the dining room was pink. Above the table was suspended a canopy of delicate smllax, whoso cen tre was pink carnations. The table ivas adomed with pink roses, while candies in pink shades lent a rosy glow to the scene, Mrs. Foster, who was most attract ively gowned In white satin, was assist ed In receiving by Mrs. Norman Fos ter, of Buffalo; Mrs. George Marshall, of Shamokln, and Mrs. S. S. Derman. Mrs. Gardner Cobb, of Hnrrisburg, was also a guest of honor. About the rooms were Mrs. T.. F. Penman, Mrs. T. G. Wolfe, Mrs. T. J.

Ilaughton, Miss Chu mard and Miss Foulke, of Stroudsburg, served frappe. The young ladies in the dining room were Miss Gertrude Sprague, Miss Amy Jessup, Miss May Tenny packer, Miss Bessell and Miss Mott. A very largo number of guests were entertained during the hours of receiving. The Mandolin club, stationed in the lower hall, furnished music. The clerks of Lewis & Rellly'a shoe hou&e were given an enjoyable sleigh ride over the boulevard to Schiebel's Monday night. The sleighing was fine and the ride over the boulevard greatly enjoyed. At Schlebcl's a lino dinner awaited the party and afterwards there were songs, games, etc., in the parlors of the hotel until the party was ready to return to the city.

Recorder Doesn't Favor Including in Bond Ordinance Any Provision for Macadamizing. It Is definitely known that the bond ordinance, which Recorder Connell Is pieparlng and the passage of which he will recommend to councils, will con tain no provision for the permanent improvement of the city streets, us outlined in the plan suggested by Director of Public Works Itoehe. The recorder does not agree with the director's views on this question and believes that It would not be right to spend any large sum In macadamizing the city's unimproved streets. The Item of $30,000, for the Improvement of eight miles of streets, which the direc tor had inserted in his estimate of ex penditures, was cut out by the cabinet at the recorder's suggestion and did not appear In tho estimates as pre sented to councils. The recorder believes that tho only proper method of Improving the streets of Scranton Is to pave them, and real izes that while such a result can only bo brought about gradually. It will be better In the end. One of the streets which Director Koche proposed to have macadamized was PIttston ave nue. It has been pointed out that the ma jority of the property owners on PItts ton avenue uald their sewer assess ments for the Seventeenth district main sewer actually before It va3 completed something almost unheard of and it is argued that if these property owners could afford to do this they could afford also to nave. It is understood that the bond ordi nance will be ready for Introduction in counclla within a week. EIGHTY-FIVE CENT GAS. Ordinance of the Consumers Gas Company Amended by Select Council Committee. The light and water committee of select council met last night in the city clerk's office to consider an ordinance granting a frdnchiso to the Consumers Gas company. Present were F. H. demons, chairman of the committee; Thomas Cosgrove and Itichard Mor gans. The absentees were Wade M. Finn and T. C. Melvln. After the meet ing opened, Cosgrove wanted to retire, but Clemons would not permit him, for the reason that it would break tho quorum. Cosgrove insisted that he would retire, and Clemons told him If he did he would call the attention of councils to his conduct. Cosgrove re mained. Later on, Cosgrove tried to get the committee to adjourn until next Thursday, but was unsuccessful. After a good deal of talk concerning the ordinance, Clemons moved amend ments to It providing that tho max!-' mum price for gas to bo charged by the Consumers company shall be eighty-live cents, and the franchise shall he limited to forty years. Cos grove opposed the amendments, but they were adopted and will be reported to council at Its meeting Thursday night. Hon. M. 12. McDonald appeared for the Consumers company. ARRESTED ON SUSPICION. Thomas Ford Believed to Be Impli cated in a Robbery. Thomas Ford, a one-legged man, re siding on Scranton street, was ar rested yesterday by the police on sus picion of having been Implicated In the robbery of an unknown Italian in Itay mond couit on Sunday night, The Italian complained at police headquarters that he had been held up and robbed of $10 by two men, one of whom had a wooden leg. Ford has been a well-known figure In police circles for some years, and as, he an swered the Italian's description he was arrested on suspicion. Ho was re manded for a hearing before Magis trate Howe this morning, when It Is expected that tho Italian will bo on hand to appear against him. AFTER TICKET SCALPERS. Adolpli Blau Arrested at Iustance of Lackawanna Company, Adolph Blau, who conducts u ticket scalping agency on Lackawanna ave nue, near Franklin, has been arrested at the Instance of District Passenger Agent M, L.

Witnesso3 lu tho Contest of tho Re publican Nomination Certificates Toll Tales That Almost Surpass Belief Dofeated Candidate Swoars That About Forty Mon Cast Most of tho 700 Votes Election Ofllcors Put Some Ballots in the Box, Oth ers In Their Pockets. Judge Kelly spent all of yesterday afternoon hearing testimony In tho matter of tho objections to the Re publican nominations from Old Forgo borough. Arguments will bo made this morning. The objectors are John Mangan and Philip Swartz, who wore candidates before tho caucus for councilman and justice of tho lieaco respectively. Tho candidates on the certificate to which objections are made ure: Antonl Blan cardl, for Justice of the peace; William Repp and James W. Thornton, for school directors; William Jones and Nicolo Gabrlello, for councllmen; John Choking, for constable, and Domlnlco Suclano, for auditor. The objections are based on alleged irregularities in tho First district, the principal district of the borough. Tho alleged Irregularities arc many and varied, but summed up they amounted to successful preconcerted effort on the part of tho Italian residents of tho district to sleze and hold tho polls, pre vent all others from voting, and do all kinds of things to the ballot box: Swartz' story of the affair almost surpassed belief. He swore that about forty Italians, many of them aliens, packed themselves In the booth and did practically all the voting. They let In a few others now and then whom they knew to be friendly to their cause, but when any American appeared tho crowd would not make way for hlin and he would have to leave without cast ing his vote. These few more than forty men, some- of them not citizens, cast 700 votes, according to Swartz. CHALLENGES UNHEEDED. He challenged numerous votes, but his challenges were unheeded, and when he protested, the election board put him out, Joseph Somers, the next witness, de clared It was even worse than all that. The crowd in the booth took possession of the 000 printed ballots and as fast as they could mark them, passed them up and had them deposited in tho box. They were packed In so tight, those In the rear could not make their way to within reaching distance of tho elec tion board and had to puss their bat lots up over tho heads of those In front. The board, so Mr. Somers said, scru tinized the ballots, and those that suited them went Into the box, while those that were not to their liking were put in their Dockets. John E. Davis testified that It v. us agreed, after all the printed ballots had been used up, that the voters might make out their own ballots on slips of paper. Tho Swartz-Morgan men had not been able to get hold of the printed ballots, but when the word went forth that slips might bo used, they proceed ed to make even. By hard tusseling a goodly number of them reached tho board nnd succeeded In presenting their voles. The board, however, re gretted Its condescension, evidently, for, according to Mr. Davis, the slips were thrown on tho floor as fast aa they worn handed In. John E. Morgan corroborated Som ers as to tho election board members putting ballots in their pockets, and Edward Mason declared that one of the board was seen to mark ballots after they were cast. WILD EXAGGERATIONS. Judge of Election John N. Cook and Inspectors Bartley J. Judge nnd Mar tin Menloe took tho stand nnd swore that the stories of tho objectors' wit nesses wero wild exaggerations. Anyone who wanted to vote and who proved his right to vote, was freely per mitted to vote, they declared, and not a single irregularity complained of by the objectors had really taken place. .There was a great deal of commotion, they admitted, tho stove was over turned and tho side door broken down, but tho box was kept Inviolate. Tho slips wero thrown out, they further admitted, but this was done because of tho fact that tho Swartz-Morgan peo pie had abused the privilege the board had granted. The slips were found to be In bunches of four or five, closely folded together, indicating that one man had voted the whole bunch. This decided tho board to throw them nil out, Hon. John P. Qulnnan and R. H. Holgato represent the objectors. Cor nelius Comegys is attorney for tho outer side. Boss lOo. crackers Cc. Coursen.

HULL, TRUST OPflCER FEBRUARY7 5, 1902. &$enger now famous remedy was first put upon the market within the reach of all peo ple. No other remedy is today or ever lias been openly and publicly endorsed by. medical authorities. And Paine's Celery Compound is in no sense a pat ent medicine. From the very first its formula was, and it is today, freely fur nished to physicians in good standing anywhere. No man or woman whose nervous system is not in perfectly healthy con dition can properly perform the work that is his or hers to do. No person with shattered nerves can run the race of life in competition with the healthy man. While this is true in every call ing, there is no better example than the case of the engineers who guide the passenger trains on the railroads. And it is true that no one class of work men furnishes a better example of what Paino's Celery Compound can accomplish than the railroad engineers of America. They rely only upon this one remedy to supply the tissues that their nerve-racking task exhausts. It was. with the sanction of the authori ties of the great New York Central Railroad that W. H.
