THE CITIZENS ARE AROUSED MEETING HELD IN DICKSON CITY LAST NIGHT. A Committee Was Appointed to Be quest Councllmen to Meet Tonight nnd Authorize Payment of the Water Compnny'a BUI If, McGnr ryltes Fall to Attend the Meeting Oomt Will Be Asked to' Order a Special Election, so That Deadlock May Be Broken. The citizens of Dlckon City, In meet ing assembled lust night, took u hand In the rouiiellmiiiilo mlx-up which has led to the shutting off of the borough's water supply, nnd determined that an end shall be put lo the disgraceful scene which have attended council meetings dining the past few months. It must be nuclei stood that the bor ough owes a water bill or some $."00 to the Dickson City "Water company, which Is now controlled by the Scran ton das and Water company. This bill Is of two years' standing, nnd becnusc of Its non-payment the compnny shut off the water from the borough build ing nnd the lire hydrants, Tuesday. The council as at present constituted consists of eight members. There should bo nine, but the First ward has no rep resentative, because of a tie vote nt the last election. The eight eouncllmen are deadlocked on all questions, even to the matter of holding n meeting. One member, Louis nicluirds. Hopped over to what Is known as the Hufnagle faction, long enough to assist In the election of George Hufnngle ns chair man, of James Caygle as treasurer and of a street commissioner and secietnry. WENT BACK IN LINK. He was then brought back Into line by the other side, known ns the Mc Gavilty faction, and the deadlock agnln went Into foice. The Hufnagle faction have tried to meet on seveial occasions to authorize the payment of the water bill, approve tlie tieasurer's bond und fill the other offices of borough attor ney, chief of police, etc., but the Mc Oarrltyltes have persistently refused to attend the meetings and their refusal prevents the gathering of a quorum. The JIcGanltyltes want the other offices and the Hufnagle faction s.iy they can't have them hence the obstinacy of the former. Last night's meeting was held in Foley's hall and was attended by over two bundled eltlxens, supporters and followers of both factions. James Mor gnnson was elected chaiimnn, and Bur gess William Kennedy was chosen as secretary. The former is a Hufnagle man, nnd the latter a htaunch JlcGar rltvlte. Upwards of fifty of those present had a little something to say on the situ ation, while a few voters had a great deal to say, and said It vigorously. Among these latter was George W. Welland, the well-known lumber dealer. The action of the JIcGarrlty faction In falling to attend the meet ings of councils and thus directly causing the shutting off of the water supply he characterized as a burning dlsgi ace. He said that there had been fre quently enough money in the treasury In months past to pay the water com pany's bill Jt former Treasuier John Eldrtkln had any desire to pay it. In stead of paying the old bill of the com pany's, ho said, he paid a later bill of C. B. Scott's, which was altogether wiong. TO INCHKASE HATES. He referred to the fifty per cent in crease in the Insurance rates which the underwi iters Uneaten to slap on unless the water supply Is turned on once moio and called upon the citizens to arise and show their disapproval of the action of those eouncllmen who aie disgracing the borough In the eyes of the community. Chairman IMorganson spoke along slmlliar lines and urged the taking of prompt and vigorous meusures. The McGarrityltes had a number of friends at the meeting who argued that the Hufnagle faction should give the other side some consideration and should agree before holding a meeting and not to play the hog and demand all the ofllces. This line of argument was not very favorably received by those In attendance. It was finally decided to appoint a special committee to wait upon the several eouncllmen today and request their piesence at a special meeting of the council which has been called for tonight by Chairman Hufnagle. If a, majority of the eouncllmen do not heed this request and meet tonight, the committee was authorized to go into court on Friday and petition for an order authorizing the Immediate conduct of a. special election In the First ward. With a councilman elect ed from this ward the deadlock would be broken. The committee appointed comprise the following citizens: Waller Llbud jeshy, Frank Holka, Joseph Moore, William J. Williams. John Gllgnllon. John Parks and John Barrett. It Is considered extr.emely probable that n meeting will be held tonight and that payment of the water com pany's hill will be authoilzed. Whether or not Treasurer Cuygle's bond will bo approved Is an open question. Until It Is nppioved the borough Is without a treiiHiuer, There Is said to be ampin sufficiency of money In the treasury to pay not only the water company's bill but ninny other outstanding claims 'ugalnst the borough, -' BEAOHINfT UP HIGHER.

OUR SUMMER SCHOOL OF EIGHT WEEKS. -V. mst& Opens June Call or Write For Particulars. Both 'Phones, EVERYTHING IS STILL IN THE AIR Nothing Developed as a Result of Yester day's Conference of the Represent atives of the Mine Workers. Yesterday might just as well have been left off the calendar as far as Its results affected the situation as regards the threatened miners'' strike. .The miners' representatives met to discuss the question of meet ing the emergency presented by the operators' refusal to grant conces sions, but from the best information obtainable nothing was done fur ther than to hear a detailed report of President Mitchell and District Presidents Nicholls, Duffy and Fahy of what took place at the confer ence with the sub-committee representing the operators. The meeting opened at 10 o'clock a. m., in Carpenters' hall. At 12.30 .there was a recess of an hour for dinner and at 4.45 adjournment was made until 9 o'clock this morning. President Mitchell was the only one who would say a word concern ing the proceedings, and he contented himself with a very meagre ac count of what had taken place. His statement was merely this: "The committee is canvassing the situation very carefully. No de cision has been reached ns yet. The committee will meet again tomor row morning at 9 o'clock." When asked whether or not he had heard nnything concerning con cessions from the operators he reiterated his declaration of the night before that he know nothing of any concessions, and has had no com munication since Saturday with the operators or any one representing them. The others who attended the meeting were evidently pledged to say absolutely nothing of what had transpired. They one and all maintained a Sphinx-like silence when approached on the subject. The comparatively early adjournment of the afternoon session led to a general belief among the outsiders, closely watching the course of events, that the miners are waiting for something to turn up, and it would not be disappointing to the expectations of close observers if they continued in session for the remainder of the week. Despite President Mitchell's declarations of ignorance of any medi atory moves it is the opinion that the miners expect some one to step in with some proposition from the operators which, will help the solv ing of the present perplexing question confronting them. The usual raft of sensational stories were floated yesterday as a re sult of the absence of news. One was that the companies have a thousand men assembled at Buffalo ready to come here, if they are wanted, to take the place of the engineers, firemen and pump runners. Another was to the effect that the operators are anxious for a strike that they may supplant the Southern-Europe miners with Scandinavians who have been contracted for by thousands by agents of the oper ators during the past six months. Still another story had it that the adjournment yesterday afternoon was not only early but sudden, and that it was due to a message received by Mr. Mitchell requesting a postponement of action until a representative of the Civic Federation could reach here. A TALK ON BIRDS. Delivered by Miss Mary Putnam Moore nt the Home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Benjamin Dimmick. Singularly uppioprlate was the thought of one of Scranton's most gra cious hostesses when she planned for a fair May afternoon to entertain i com pany of guests with thoughts of bird loie and bprlngtlmo sweetness. "Homewood," the suburban resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. J. Benjamin Dlminlck, was at Its loveliest yesterduy, without and within, while nearly two hundred ladles spent one of the most delightful and profitable houis ever provided for their pleasure. Every where, on mantels und tables, ii nooks and about certain pictures were mnss ed the Spirit of May, the apple-blossoms in their radiance of pink and white. Outside the tender green of the young leaves spread a shimmer of beauty In view ftom every window, through which came the merry notes of birds In the love-making time of the year. With all theso accessories to Influ ence the aesthetic senses stepped forth a young woman, who must have taken many a lesson from the birds, whom sho so loves, to have such a dellclous ly sweet voice and such u winsome laugh. Sho told In such a fascinating way of tho little creatures we ull ought to know, that her listeners were charmed, Miss Mary Putnam Mooie says she Is not an ornithologist, only a "birder," but sho has so patiently studied the book of nature and practiced the notes of Its scale that she has cuught much of the wild, exquisite charm to be gain ed only In out-of-door life, and has Im bibed a subtle sympathy tor the feath ered world which she Is marvelously clover at transmitting to her hearers. Among her accomplishments Is a happy imitation ot blid notes by whistling. Miss Mqorc begun with the explana tion that' many of the popular tra ditions jegardtng bird life are found to be wrong by the students. For In stance, Instead of there being no birds lu winter, us s often asserted, there ato 127 different ones, at leubt half of which uro of common varieties. Winter Is the time to begin Ihe study of birds, as they are less In number und more easily seep. Another tradition is that the woods ure full of bluls, when thu fact Is that piost of them aio found In tho meadows or along streams, only a few goliiy Into the edge of the woodland. Another enoueous Idea Is that tho lfo' of a bird symbolizes freedom when the truth Is thut no group of the unlnial world Is bo under tho reign of 19th, 19031 J. Alfred Pennington, , Director. Adams Avenue and Linden St. law as birds that from nestlings are taught by parents to obey signals and to regard most implicitly every detail of self-protection, AVhy birds migrate. Is as yet unex plained, although tlielr methods are thoroughly understood, Warblers perish by 'the thousand In these mi grations, by contact with light houses along the coast. It is from this des truction that the museums and col lections are filled with "blrd-sklns." Miss Moore had u large variety of these to illustrate the points of her talk. Among them were the brave scarlet tunager In his gay wedding dress und also in his sober clothes, of the remainder of the year, the sparrow, hawk, various specimens of warblers, blue jays, "greenlets," us John Bur roughs calls the vlrlo family, robins, swallows, etc. In conclusion she spokt earnestly of tho pitiful destruction ot birds, and us an example of Its wanton character recalled the fact that both the male and female wear tho delicate aigrettes at nestling time nnd that plume hunters kill both parents of the starving little family in the nests to adorn a fair lady's hut or her coiffure. Just at this point one ot the ladles present plucked from her hair the white little spray and brought down the house with her Involuntary ap plication of tho moral. Miss Moore suggested to those who are really conscientious In their desire to preserve tho song birds that they avoid wearing feathers ot any descrip tion. She spoke of preservation of bird life us necessary to tho preservation of agricultural products and' Indeed of the life of the people. Her talk was one that was greatly appreciated and may result In the organization of an audubon society here. Pleasant social features succeeded the talk. Mrs, Dlminlck was assisted by Mrs. George Sanderson, Miss San derson, At the tables were Mis. Henry Uelln, jr., Miss Anna K, Sanderson, Mrs. Everett Warren, Mrs. W, W. Scranton, Mrs. J. P.

There was considerable changing about In the list of contestants, A. J. Kellerman, ot Scranton, taking the lend away from Herbert Thompson, of Carbondale. There were also two new contestants to return points. They were Miss Edna Coleman, of Scranton, nnd William T. S. Rodriguez, of Scranton, who now occupy twelfth and sixth places, re spectively, In the above table. There were also four entries, as follows: John Lyons, Forty-second street, Carbondale. Louis Gere, Brooklyn, Pa. C. J. Clark, Peckvllle. Edward Claik, 441! West Market street. Some pertinent questions have been asked by the contestants and their friends. One letter received asks the following: "1. If I should secure a subscriber for one month could I secure him for another month and receive a point? 2. If necessary, could you send me ns many subscription blanks as I should order? S. Do winners receive 10 per cant.?" Answer 1. A contestant may secure a renewal from any subscriber be has originally secured and will receive credit for as many additional points ns the subscriber extends his subscrip tion. 2. We will keep contestants well supplied with subscription blanks, but cannot allow them to order an unrea sonable number; when they ure out of blanks and while awaiting those they have ordered they should not relax work, but keep a private memorandum of the new subscribers they get and forward them to this office properly prepared, on blunks as soon as they arrive. 3. Winners do not receive 10 per cent. The contestants who at the close of the contest stand above thirty third place will have a choice of the scholarships, as outlined In Rule No. 1, and the thirty-third contestant will tnke the remaining scholarship. All below that place will receive 10 per cent, of all the money they turn in dur ing the contest. Another letter, signed "A Friend of One of the Contestants." asks almost tho same question as the first one In the previous letter, but makes the point a trifle clearer, as follows: "Supposing a person who Is not a subscriber of The Tribune at present should subscribe for three months and at the end of that time should renew his subscription for, say, one year, both subscription and renewal being made through the same contestant, would the contestant receive 15 points or would only the first three points be credited to him In the contest?" Answer He would receive credit for 15 noints. The entry list Is still open. NATIONAL FOOD EXHIBIT. Opens Next Monday in Bicycle Club House.
