Only a few yours ago It would have

apply the dcscilptlon of "one of the

Kelly's place us Joseph O'Hrlcn's luw

Not that ho hits aged foster thun time,
but In his profession he hus Jumped to
tho forefront of local practitioners. He
had been wanting opportunity of prov-'
lug his worth. Mr. O'Urlen was look
ing for .some one who would fit In tho
vacancy caused by Judge Kclly'n with
drawal. Mr. Martin was Invited to take
the place nnd accepted. It was not long
before ho pioyed that Mr. O'Urlen bad
made 11 good choice.
Ulg cases came to be entrusted to
him and he handled them with tho skill
of a vetetuu. Ills leudy wit, thorough
education and immense capacity for

In Jus making tho most of his now op

it the smile on the lieutenant's face
gives place to a determined look and

A 11 if which Superintendent Feibcr,

few minutes utter ! o'clock last night
in the cellar of a one-stoty building- on
Penn avenue, just north of Spiuce

runs a lunch room.
Tlio fire broke out in a pile or rubbish
In the middle of the cellar, and an
alarm was turned in by the young man
who was in chaige. Mr. Burros, us fur

"This place was set on lire," s-ald ho.
"There is no question about It in my

ODD FELLOWS
CELEBRATED
EIGHTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY
WAS COMMEMORATED.
Upwards of n Thousand Members of
the Order Assembled in tho Audi
torium, in North Scranton, Yester
day and Listened to Addresses on
the Principles of the Organization
by Rev. Dr. Robert F. Y. Pierce,
Attorney Henry Harding and Ma
jor General E. C. Dean.
Nearly u thousand Odd Fellows rrom
all parts or tho city gathered yester
day nfternoon In the Auditorium,
North Scranton, to assist In commem
orating the eighty-third nnnlvcrsury of
HAU'lI VOX STORCIt,
Xoble tlraml of Celestial, Under Whose An'ptcel
the Celebration Win Held.
the Institution of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows, ut a speclul cele
bration arranged by Celestial lodge.
Among those to be seen were the
most prominent members of the organ
ization in this part of the state. The
members of Canton Scranton, Patri
archs Militant, occupied positions of
honor in the front seats In full uni
form, and behind nnd at either side of
them were hundreds of men wearing
the regalia of the order. The national
1lag- predominated In the decorations,
though n number of the banners of tho
organization were displayed. Hun di
rectly over the stage was an electrlcnl
device, bearing the Inscription, "1S19
I. O. O. F. 100.'."
Judge A. A. Vosburg, formerly dis
trict dopty grand master, piesided ut
the meeting, and In the brief opening
addt ess which lie made, he look occa
sion to remark that in ills fifteen jrpars
of piactlce ut the bar he had never
met with a single case at luw in which
an Odd Fellow was arrayed against un
Odd Follow. This fact is, to his mind,
the most forcible demonstration that
fraternity is consideicd by Odd Fel
low.' to be a fact as well as a name,
THE SPEAKERS.
After the inspiring rendition or a sa
i red i-election by the North End Glee
club, and a reading from the Scilptures
by Rev. Charles Lees, pastor of the
Primitive Methodist chinch, the first
address was made by Attorney Henry
Harding, who gave a forceful and ex
tended presentation of Hie general prin
ciples of tho order.
Odd Fellowship, he said. Is practical
ly a new thing, but its principles are as
old as the world itself. It is based
upon the eternal principle that every
thing man does Is watched by the all
seeing eye of God, and it recognizes
the Bible as tho exhaustless fountain or
truth and the storehouse of all that it
Is best for man to know.
He then traced some of the lessons
which Odd Fellowship hns learned
from the Bible stories and which have
been made part and parcel of the creed
of the order. The principles of Odd
Fellowship, he said, if acted upon and
piactieed as they should be practiced,
would make all mankind better aikl
happier.
The men who first founded the order
Introduced u convivial spirit Into the
meetings, which was the subject of
much criticism ut the lime. Intoxicat
ing liquors were seived In profusion
at the gatherings of the several lodges.
It is to the ciedlt of these early Odd
Fellows, he said that they themselves
abolished the practice which they had
iiitioduced and amended the organic
law of the organization so us to pro
hibit the drinking of Intoxicants at
meetings.
WAY IT IS RECOGNIZED.
The order Is recognized by those out
hide Its fold, he said, as being primar
ily a benellclal organization, but this Is
not the fuel. The benollclul part of tho
order Is only an Incidental feature, the
great aim and object being tho spread
of the grout principle of the brother
hood of mini und of the fatherhood of
God.
'The purpose uf the older," said lie,
In conclusion," Is to go on with Its
noble work In this world or ours until
there uro no wants to lollevo and no
tenrs to dry: to go on exemplifying In
the lives of Us members tho principles
of friendship, love und titith, und to
lighten the burdens of humanity."
Rev. Vv, Robert F. Y. Pleice, pas
lor of tho Penn Avenue Baptist church,
wns the second spenkor, und delivered
a splendid nddress, In which ho told
of the greut effect the order hnd upon
his own life. Ho was brought up In u
Christian homo, he said, but his col
lego llfo had alienated him from the
Christian llfo and ho wns drifting when
he became on Odd Fellow, somo twcn
ty-flvo years ago.
His membership In the order, bo do.
elated, was a very Impoitant factor
In leading him Into the Christian
church and In Inspiring him with a de
slio to becomo a preacher of the Gos
pel. Ho said that ho hus mnile three
big Investments In this life, namely
his Investment In God, his Investment
In a wife, and his investment In Odd
Fellowship.
HISTORY OF ORDEH.
Tho history of Odd Fellowship has
been u wonderful history, ho declured,
mid though still a young organization
the Jesuits uchlevpd by ft uio Inenl
culuble. Throughout tho dark days In
the nation's life, It has lived and pros,
pored and has' hud the ultimate effect
of cementing tho citizens of tho United
States into u fraternal bond with tho
definite object of promoting a broader
and it better civilization.
"The order has been purged of the
old things which wero not In keeping
wllh tho principles It stands for," snld
the doctor, "and a new leaven per
meates Its very Inmost fibre, directing
Its courso townuls it nobler und a
higher drstlhy."
The, greatest factors In u tuition's
life, lie said, aie not what seem nt
tlrst glitnce to bo the greatest. They
niu notlho problems of expansion, of
commercialism, of capital or of labor,
but they are rather unsullied charao
tcis, which give the nation an untar
nished umnc. It is such chnrnctors
that Odd Fellowship Is seeking to ilo
volope among tho men of this and
other lands. Its cardinal principle of
seeking to ttsslst n brother man to a
higher and a holler existence, is es
sentially noble und beautiful, ho de
clared. "Odd Fellows," said he, "should prove
themselves worthy of the name when
they stnnd before tho world. If they
hear their order unfairly and unjustly
criticized they should be able to prove
the allegations false and to satisfy the
critic that ho know not whereof be
spoke. If they cannot do this, they are
unjust to the regalia they wear nnd are
not entitled to havo pinned over their
hearts the golden links, representing
love, friendship and truth."
PROGRESS OF ORDER.
Major General E. C. Dean, comman
der of tho department of Pennsylvania,
Patriarchs Militant, delivered nn ad
dress, dealing with tho progress of the
order, after the gleo club had splen
didly rendered that ever popular chorus
selection, "Tho Martyrs of the Arena."
Tho organization, which started with
a membership of five eighty-three years
ago, now has fj.14,372 members In its
thousands of lodges, the general said.
Tn addition to this number, there are
13j,?00 membeis of encampments, and,
connected with tho Daughters of Re
bckah, an allied organization, there are
3"0,000 members. The sum of $3,730,692
was paid out in bonollts dining tho
year 1000, ho said. Pennsylvania,
which wns at one time way down on
the list or states as regards member
ship, now leads them all In this re
spect, wllh u membership or 115,000,
which exceeds the membership of any
other state by 30,000.
Ho told of the covenant entered Into
between David and Jonathan, and said
that as sacred a covenant binds over a.
million men together today in the
bonds of u deathless friendship which
extends beyond the grave.
The exercises were brought to an end
wllh the singing of the closing ode, set
to the music of "America."
JOSEPH OLIVER
IS THE NOMINEE
The Choice of the Republican Voters
of the First District for the
Legislature.
Joseph Oliver, chairman of select
council, Is to be the Republican candi
date for tho legislature in the First dis
trict. In Saturday's primaries he de
feated William J. Thomas, who went
Into the fight as the mine workers' can-
josr.i'it ot.ivi:n.
dld.ite, and Walter W. Simpson, who
was claiming that this time North
St-ranton should have the nomination.
Oliver was looked upon to win by the
conservative political prophets, but
there was a danger of their prophecies
going all awry as ,i result of tho miners
rallying In a body to the support of
Thomas, nnd It was not until most of
the districts had been beard from that
the prophets were corroborated,
When tho totals were summed up it
was found that Oliver had received
1,356 votes: Thomas 9(17 and Simpson,
ri7-'. In the North Scranton wards Oli
ver had o79 votes as against Simpson's
480, and 109 for Thomas. On the West
Side Oliver lecelved 977 votes to S5S for
Thomas und 92 for Simpson. Tho vote
by districts was us follows:

DEADLOCK HAS
BEEN BROKEN
i. ... .. .
DICKSON CITY COUNCIL EF
FECTS ORGANIZATION.
Richards, the Candidate of the Mc
Garrlty Faction, Deserts His Sup
porters and Votes for His Oppon
ent, J. G. Hufnngle Final Ballot
Taken with Only Twonty Minutes
Remaining of the Last Day Al
lowed by Court for the Council to
Get Together or Be Ousted.
The Dickson City councilmanle dead
lock, which hus been on since Monday,
March ,1, was broken Saturday night,
wllh only twonty minutes remaining
In which tho council could save Itself
from dissolution, Tho Hufnngle, or re
form party, won out.
Dickson City Is entitled to nine coun
cllmcn. Five of tho nine held over.
These weio Henry McGarrlty, John
Crulkshnnk, Conrad Snyder, Henry
Hugar nnd Louis Richards. Three new
men wore elected, J. O. Hufnngle, Ste
phen Bcddoo and Conrad Rler. In the
First ward thero was no election,
James Reld and John Reilly being tied.
When reorganization night came,
McGntrlly, Crulkshank, Richards and
Rlef lined up on the one side, and Huf
nngle, Bcddoo Snyder and Hagar on
the other.
Tho McGarrlty crowd had the major
ity of hold-overs and proceeded to run
things to suit themselves. Rlcf was
sworn In, but when It came to Huf
naglo and Beddoe, the McGarrlty quar
tette refused to accept their certifi
cates, Hufnagle's being refused because
of a clerical error In the date, and Bed
doe being declared ineligible because he
was a member of the board of health.
FILLED VACANCIES.
There was a lot of excitement as a
result of this action, and nil except
the McGarrlty quartette left the build
ing. These four proceeded to fill the
vacancy In the First ward by electing
Reilly, one of the tied candidates. With
a majority thus constituted, McGarrlty
and his men idled all the elective and
appointive offices and adjourned.
Under the law, If a borough council
does not organize within ten days after
the first Monday In March, the court,
on petition of the citizens, can dissolve
the council and appoint new members.
When ton days had elapsed, tho Huf
nngle people took tho matter Into
court, by appealing to this provision of
the law. After hearing the evidence,
the court, through Judge Edwards,
suggested that the contending factions
.should make an effort to get together
and relieve court from the extreme
measures prescribed by the law. They
did not adopt the suggestion, and on
April 17, Judge Edwards handed down
an opinion declaring the McGarrlty or
ganization illegal and intimating that
unless a legal organization was ef
fected by Saturday, April 6, the court
would on the following Monday today
remove them all from office and ap
point new councllmcn.
Inst Monday the eight elected mem
bers met and ballotted ten times with
out making a. choice, Richards and
Hufnngle each receiving four votes.
AVednesduy night, fourteen more bal
lots were taken, with the same re
sult. Saturday night, they came to
gether for what they lealized would
be their Inst meeting if they did not
Ineak the deadlock. From S.30 till 11.30
tho eight councllmen ballotted and
made speeches, and prominent citizens
In earnest addresses appealed to them
to do something to save the borough
from the disgrace or having Its council
men ousted by the court.
RICHARDS CHANGED ABOUT.
Finally, at 11.40, on the twenty-second
ballot, Richards, the McGarrlty
candidate for chairman, broke away
rrom his supporters and voted for his
opponent. The McGarrityltes were
dumbfounded and It was some time
before they could fully realize that
they were at last routed out of the
control of the borough, held by them
so long. Richards was roundly abused,
but the congratulations that came to
him from the borough's best men more
than made up for this.
Mr. Hufnagle Immediately took the
chair and proceeded to have the elec
tive offices filled. Mathew McPherson
was made secretary; James Cayglll,
treasurer, and Edward Snyder, street
commissioner. It was 12.03 when the
councils udjourned. The next meeting
will bo held Wednesday night, when
President Hufnagle will announce his
selections for tho appointive offices.
