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

of Shamokln, and Mrs. S. S. Derman.

served frappe. The young ladies in
the dining room were Miss Gertrude

SHOULD PAVE STREETS.
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.

THE SORANTON TRIBUNE-WJ3DNESD AY,
HOW THEY VOTE
AT OLD FORGE
STORY OF A DISTRICT PRIMARY
ELECTION.
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,

WHEN disease attacks the ner
vous system, the symptoms that
at once manifest themselves
differ in different persons. When tho
intricate and wonderful nervous sys
tem is in perfect condition, no man or
woman is sick, except from infectious
disease.
Sleeplessness, dyspepsia, rheumatism,
most of the weaknesses and ailments
that exhibit themselves in different
ways in men and women arc now
known to bo only the local symptoms
of the beginning of a diseased nervous
system.
' It is no more possible to cure these
afflictions by superficial treatment than
it is to dam the Mississippi by a bar
of sand. The .only effective cure for
these diseases is the repair of nervous
tissues!
It has been absolutely proven that
Paine's Celery Compound cures ner
vous exhaustion in every aggravating
form, as no other remedy in the world
can, or does. In fact, it was by the
urgent advice of the ablest medical
authorities in this country that this
RECEIVED A CALL.
Rev. Ritter, of West Hnzleton, Asked
to Come to This City.
Rev. E. F. Ritter. pastor of tho Trin

for some years, has received a call to
become pastor of the Trinity Lutheran
church at Scranton. one of the most
desirable charges In this part of the
state. He preached there Sunday.
It has not yet been announced what
Rev. Ritter will do, but It Is believed
that he will accept. It Is expected that
he wliyglvo the Scranton congregation
a definite answer this week.
Rev. Ritter has built ud a strong
congregation at West Ilazleton and
his resignation, If It comes, will bo re

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. Raymond, the
engineer who runs the famous Empire
State Express, gave the following testi

workmen in every calling who need a
remedy that will restore nervous en

and kccj them well:
"An engineer on a fast passenger
train feels a constant physical strain
and tension on his whole nervous sys

in the world. After forty years' ex
perience that is my opinion.
"For eight years 1 have been one of
the two engineers of the 'Empire State

Hudson River Railroad, running be

the fastest passenger train on the
American Continent.

as the best medicine sold anywhere,
Kood for those who suffer from brain

to recommend Paine's Celery Com
