THE EVE OF ELECTION.
Republican Committee at End of a
Splendid Canvass, the Most Per
sistent in Years Democrats Hope
ful of "Victory.
This is tlio eve of what will likely
prove to be the most spirited election
over hold in Carbondalc. The Repub
lican primaries were the hottest contest
in the town's political history and the
spirit will be sure to be livelier when
the candidates of both parties measure
their strength tomorrow.
The city Republican committee was
never better organized than this spring
and in no canvass was there so much
energy and application than in the one
in progress since the middle of Janu
ary, when the. committee reorganized
for this year. Peihans tlio best plan
over adopted for getting out the vote
was employed this year, and so well
has it worked In bringing forth assur
ances from Republican voters that
they will be at the polls tomorrow,
that it can bo safely predicted that the
heaviest vote of the party will bo polled
tomorrow. Such an intelligent, earnest
and persistent .canvass cannot but bo
the biggest factor in the lesult of the
day's battle, and this is why there is
so much hopefulness and such a san
guine feeling of complete Republican
victory in tomorrow's election.
As an eleventh hour injunction, the
committee reminds voters that Repub
lican success depends on the party
fulfilling tho assurances which have
been given the committee, through the
medium employed by tlio organization,
to bo faithful and loyal to tlio princi
ples of the party, thereby bringing de
served victory to the whole Republican
ticket, from mayor down to the least
important ward ofllce.
The Democrats have also made a
persistent canvass and the candidates
assort that they havo every reason to
be victorious.
Interest in any election was never
keyed to such a high pitch. The town
is wrapt In the discussion of the day's
Jesuits, and In numerous places wagers
have been posted. In one pool made
up at the Harrison house there Is $100
on the mayoralty lesult. Another bet
of $;o on each side, on the same result,
was made by two prominent business
ment. There are also numerous small
bets posted about the town.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY
i
Honosdalo Man In tlio Tolls Taken
by Constable Neary, on Complaint
of a Prominent Honesdalc Mer
chant. A man whom Constable Nearv Is
certain Is George 11. Hell, who Is
wanted In JJonesdale, for passing a
forged check, was arrested by that oill
cer on Saturday night.
The complaint on which Hell was ar
rested was made before 'Sutllre JIuin
by Herman Scheuerholz, a. lea'dlng mer
chant of Honesdalc. Scheuerholz claims
ho was victimized by Roll, who camo
Into hla store on Fildny or Saturday
and presented a check lor ?7:;, signed
ostensibly by Rleller Uros,, who arc
owners of the acid factory located just
outside of Ilonesdnle. This company's
credit is such that Mr. Schcueiiiolz had
no hesitancy hi honoilng the check.
However, he did not pay the full sum
to Dell, all but fifteen dollars. "When
the check was picsentcd for payment
by Schouerholz It was declared to bo a
forgery.
Cell, or the man wiio it Is believed is
tlio same, was ai rested bv Constable
Neary on Saturday night, and if ho
proves to bo Bell, of which the con
stable seems certain, his arrest will bo
quite a compliment to tills olllcer'a
alertness and keenness. All that the
constable had whs the meagre descrip
tion telephoned by the Honesdalc olll
clals during tlio day Saturday. On re
ceipt or the Information, Neary set out,
and soon had a cluo to the supposed
Bell's whereabouts. The oiricer was
standing; at the corner of Main street
and Salem avenue, when ho saw one
who looked like his man. He .placed
him under arrest and took him to the
city jail, amid vigorous protests. Be
fore ho was placed In a cell, Bell de
nied with vehemence that he was the
Bell who was wanted. Ho was Charles
Bell, ho said; not George Bell. He said,
further, that ho was not from Hones
dale, and that ho had never been there.
Ho had no knowledge, whatever, of any
cheek transaction.
The prisoner, who had been drinking
some, intended to leave for Scranton on
the 11 o'clock train. He had on his per
son two watches and pictures of two
men who are supposed to bo from
Honesdalc. Bell will bo taken to Hones
dale this morning by Constable Neary.
TIMELY T0PSCS.
City Kngiueer Kupp wants the citi
zens to help him decide whether or
not he will change the name of Salem
avenue to McKinley avenue. The town
now has two streets side by side that
bear the name of two martyr presi
dents, Garlleld and Lincoln, and if Sa
lem avenue be changed to McKinley
avenue, tlio throe nun tyred presidents
will be given representation in the
naming of Carbondale's streets.
There is a growing sentiment that
the change from Salem avenue would
bo timely and altogether fitting, and
what the city engineer seeks is an ex
pression of public opinion on the
change. If an appreciable .number of
citizens favor the adoption of McKin
ley avenue, Mr. Kupp will discard Sa
lem avenue and substitute tho name of
the late lamented president. Expres
sion of opinion, therefore, will be glad
ly received. The Tribune would sug
gest that its columns ore open to any
expression of sentiment on this propo
sition, and will gladly publish any
communications bearing on tho sub
ject that will be an aid in determining
the wishes of the people.
The discussion among railroad men
the past week covered the appointment
of AVllllom Kenney to tho position of
superintendent of motive power of this
division of the Ontario and 'Western
road, aim in every quarter could bo
heard the'most favorable comments on
Mr. Kenney's advancement. He Is re
cognized as a man whose ideas of lall
road transportation were so developed
that he was eminently fitted for the
ofllce which was created, hence his ap
pointment Is regarded as quite fitting.
Mr. Kenney has a well-provon knowl
edge of practical railroading knowl
edge which he acquired not by wast
ing his time but by improving every
opportunity to broaden himself and by
lhorfhost faithful application. Ho was
an engineer for eight years and dining
that period ho was always an tho alert
to grasp every bit of Information that
might be an nld or of value to him.
His practical experience was supple
mented by ono of theory. Ho took a
course with tho International Corres
pondence schools, and so oxcellent were
his papers that ho attracted tho at
tention of tho olllclals of tho schools
and gained their interest to the extent
that ho was given a splendid olfer,
which he accepted, being placed In ono
of tlio railroad Instruction cars located
In Chicago. His worth and valuo be
camo known to the Ontario and AVest
ern company, and ho was sought for os
u man who would bo just tho man
wanted to look after and care for tho
peculiar work of tho company on this
division, where there hi but a slnglo
truck, thereby calling for greater ofll
cieucy in distributing tho motlvo power
thnn on a double-track system, where
there !h considerable less confusion
and hazard, Mr. Kenney has the good
will of tho men ho will bo over, for ho
wos In their ranks himself, only a
short time since. This fact, coupled
with his own peculiar fitness, are a
bright auguary of a successful career.
Carbondalo theater-goers will this
week have tho first season of comic
opera In several seasons. The Colum
bia company will open a week of song
and comedy nt tho Grand tonight, giv
ing a repertoire that will Include pieces
that retain their popularity with the
fleet of time. Conspicuous among
these Is tlio opera, "Wang," which will
be sung on Thursday afternoon, This
was tho nrrnngement of music ami
comedy In .which Do "Wolf Hopper und
Delia Fox made such a hit nnd estab
lished the roputatlou which they still
enjoy. A strungo circumstance of this
opera Is that tho composer of tho
music, AVoolson Morse, It is related, re
ceived only eight hundred dollars for
tho music, which has since been played
In thousands of homes and which Is
sold to this day. Tho author of the
book, J. Cheever Goodwin, was made

THE BROOKLYN ICE GORGE.
The Brooklyn creek, which has cut
up all sorts of capers this winter, la
frozen up, and over, and acioss again
in' the vicinity of tho bridge over
Brooklyn street, at Clllhool's store.
The illustration gives an idea of the
solidity and depth of tho mass under
and near the bridge. The bed of the
creek Is, a. mass of frozen snow and
ice, and in the vjclnlty of the bridge
it has a depth of about llvorfect. The
water that Is confined in Wils nines
would till n good-sized stream. The
ice reached to within eighteen Inches
of the bridge, and it Is yet this near
on the north side. On the soutli side,
us will bo seen In tho illustration, a
channel has been cut and shoveled out
In order to give some outlet to the
water when the thaw begins. This
wise precaution was . taken by City
Engineer Kupp and Street Fqrcman
John Kiileen early this week.
A good deal of concern is felt among
the residents in the vicinity of tho
bridge over the possible behavior of
the confined mass of Ice and snow. If
theie should be a sudden thaw, In
which continued rains would be an ele
ment, then damage, and a great deal
of It, would be sure to follow. The
water, because of It being blocked at
the outlet Into the Lackawanna, a
couple of hundred feet south of the
bridge, would be certain to overflow
richer by many thousands of dollars
by the success of "Wang," while his
collaborator, Morse, whoso music it
was that made the success, was bene
fitted only to the extent of a few hun
dred dollars.
Tlio season of Lent will, perhaps, cut
some figure in tlio attendance of the
week, but the fact that no opera has
been heard in Carbondalo in several
seasons will bo a circumstance in at
tracting lovers of this -form of amuse
ment. EEVIVAL MISSION OPENS.
Edemeptorjst Fathers Begin Four
Weeks' Devotion nt St. Eose
Church.
A revival mission, which will con
tinue for four weeks, was formally
opened by the Redomptorist fathers
at the IOjSO o'clock mass in St. Rose
church yesterday.
The opening sermon was delivered by
Father Hannoll, a forceful speaker,
who explained the' object of tho mis
sion by saying It was the means of
renewing the good promises made at
the mission last spring; also that It
was a rare season of good for those
who may not have made the last mis
sion and for tho reformation and re
conciliation of those who fell away
since the last period of prayer and pen
ance conducted by these same fathers.
In tlio afternoon Father Ruder ad
dressed the girls of the congregation in
the church, Father Bloen speaking to
the boys who assembled In the church
basement.
The married women of the parish who
will have the week of the mission were
instructed last night by Father Hnn
nell. Benediction closed tho services.

women, the following week for tho

nnd flood the surrounding properties
on cither side of the stream, us was
true of the overflow several weeks ago.
If, on the other hand, the breaklng-up
be gradual, it is likely that the melting
ice and snow will dlsappenr with no
trace of disaster.
The cause of these reaming block
ades is attributed to the abutments
built at the end of the creek, just be
low tho Brooklyn bridge, by the Dela
ware and Hudson company a long time
ago. These abutments were built to
prevent tho rush of water from tho
creek into the river as it caused some
interference with the supply of water
that went Into the old pump house In
that vicinity. This narrowing of the
'outlet, It appears, prevented the dis
charge of gravel and sand carried
down tho creek from the mountain side.
This dirt has been accumulating for
some time, narrowing and filling tho
course of the stream until now, when
Ice and snow are confined in tlio
blocked and narrow stream until a
warm thaw, causes an overflow, such
as was witnessed recently. The city
ofllcials charge the Delaware and Hud
son company with negligence, and for
this reason will tako no radical steps
to remedy the trouble, as this could
be interpreted under the law as re
sponsibility for tho condition of the
stream nnd tho damages following each
flood.
A Valentine social was held at tho
home of Miss Manic Stevens, on Sa

Council Explain
Is the heading of a. statement which
mado a week effort to clear the mys
try in the politicts in the first ward of
Blakely as appeared in tlio last issue
of the peckvlllo Journal, signed by
Charles Brong and James W. Smith.
Tho person claiming signature is a well
meaning citizen. His ability as a con
cilmau is known to the citizen's of tho
ward lie represents. But the honard
possesser of signature James W. Smith
loaded down with imaginary of politi
cal trickery in his endeavor to clear
tho track for his choice must have
considered ho was throwing boquets at
the voters.
James there will be nothing left un
done which will give the voters a clear
understanding of tho wholo affair in an
honest nnd just way with as fair a
campaign as tho citizen's over hud both
in the field and at tho polls. Thuesdny
next. If you and your coleagues who
called on Win. Vnndorvort (The citi

stayed away and nttended your own
nffnlrs, there would not of been so
many facts exposed on your cholco

But your call gave you only a turn
down Wni Vnndorvort could not bo

of Blakely where there were less than
300 voters und It was always known us
a republican ward by a great majority
and you mado sure to bo on tho strong

twenty-four hours. If you find a sediment at the bottom or a milky or cloudy condition,
