of
ways Interested in the doings of the
survivors of the great internal war of
our nation.
The i-oloncl's clear-cut style, his
terse words and his happy and warm
allusions make an appeal that win the
highest favor for IiIh contributions.
The literary garb In which, he clothes
his Ideas give a value to his orders
very much out of the ordinary, caus
ing the old roldlers to value and prize
his production!! among the archives of
the post. The lutest contribution from
Colonel McComb, which Is printed here
with, easily transcends anything that
ho has ever produced covering Me
morial Day observance. Ills review of
the life and purposes of the Grand
Army of the Republic, of which ho is a
faithful .and devoted member, glows
with rare eloquence and is certain to
be the subject of wide Intel est and
favorable comment in Grand Army cir
cles hereabouts.

Comrades: Thlrty-slx years ago last
month the Grand Army of the Itepubllo
was organized liy honorably dihcliiirgc-d
doldlcis, bailors and marines, who had
helped to maintain the honor, integrity
unci supremacy of the national go em
inent dining a fratiieldal war which
trnnncfiiilLd In magnitude any conflict le
corded In the iiunnl of reliable hlstor.
Knowing that the lavages of that war
bad depleted the population of this coun
try by over one million men, who had
yielded up their lives in the shuck of ini
tio on laud and sea, in the prison pens,
in the lio-jpltals and at their homes where
they iiad gone to die fiom wounds or dis
easeeach one of tlie survivors had some
comrade to cherish In memory while life
lasted.
They had faithfully and strenuously
tcrved their country in Its tiinn of sor-st
need, and during that service they had
eliminated all of the auininl selllshu vs
liom their natuier. Th tolls, pilvatlnns
and hardship.-! of sanguinary war had
taught them to rely upon themselves anil
their chums, and tlio test of courage and
' endurance in the huld light and sulphur
ous siiiohe of desperately fought battles
had made them acquainted with the sterl-
. ing qualities which were, dormant In

, After the army was disbanded the vet

Jlceil whllo performing their patriotic
duty. Their minds i everted to tho camp,
the march, the bivouac, tho picket-posts,
tlio sklrmlsh-Ilues, tho clash of small
arms, tho io:;r of artillery, tho swish of

mow. the sleet, tho lee, tho advance and

with murderous fury. Fists were used
llrst, then stones nnd finally picks were
slid off the handle and the stout handles
wero ruined unon ono another's heads.

their injuiles could not be ascertained.

residents of Carbondale nnd tho news
of tho happening caused quite a (lutter

Public Invited.
Tho beautiful custom of Impressing
tho significance of Memorial Day on
the students of the High school each
year will bo observed on Friday nftcr
noon next with ns interesting a pro
gramme as In former years.
In the choice of the orator Professor
Brydcn, principal of the High school,
has been particularly fortunate. As
stated In Tho Tribune, ho Is John Mc
Court, of Scranton, ono of tho latest
attorneys to bo admitted to tho Lacka
wanna bar, and who seems destined to
a foremost place in the legnl frater
nity hereabouts. Mr. McCourt is a vig
orous speaker, and his strong charac
ter and patriotism will be sure to leave
their Impress on tho students and the
parents who might be present.
The exercises will take place In tho
High school auditorium. This will
provide plenty of seats for the old
soldiers and tho parents and friends
of the students, nil of whom are earn

CLXTB TO DISBAND.
Members of Centennial Social Or
ganization to Break Up for Sum
mer. The members of tho Centennial So
cial club, whose quarters are in the
Leader building, have decided to dis
band, for tho summer at least.
Tho coal strike Is perhaps the most
potent reason for the temporary dis
organization of the club, which has
been one of the most successful social
organizations In the city the past fow
years. The enforced idleness, by rea
son of the strike, has caused so many
of tho members to leave the city In
the hope of bettering themselves, that
tho club Is depleted to an extent that
would be a strain on tho remaining
members to support It as they would
like. Then tho fact that during tho
warmer weather there is less Interest
manifested in such organizations, led
to the decision to give up the present
quarters until tho fall.
A committee has been appointed to
wind up the club's affairs and what
obligations remain will be disposed of
after the arrangements are completed,
which will bo in a few days.
WON'T REPEAL BONDS.
Common Council Kills Ordinance Di
recting Hecnll of Municipal Water
Plant Issue Other Business.
Common council, at last night's meet
ing, killed the Thompson ordinance
which directed the repeal of the bonds
Issued for the municipal water project.
The vote for its passage was us follows:
Yeas Thompson, Clark, Stone, Ken
nedy 1, Nays Pugllano, Nealon, Whlt
lleld, Hobbs, Hunter, Masters C. It will
bo seen that tho members headed bv
Jlr. Nealon, who last week fouRht to
have action postponed until the court
had finally disposed of the water In
junction, were successful by a margin
of two votes. Tho others favored Its
passage, that the city might get more
funds to meet current expenses.
When the ordinance came up, nn opin
ion wns presented by City Solicitor
Stuart, pursuant to Instructions of com
mon council last week. The opinion was
that tho ordinance was perfectly legal,
and council had the right to repeal tho
bonds If It so vv!slied. The ordinance
wns called to Its first reading, with the
result as given.
The venders' license tax ordinance by
Jlr. Clark was reported favorably, nnd
passed first reading.
The offer of Frank Ilollenback of $123
for the city's stone crusher was referred
to the finance committee. Bids for bags
for the "white wings" were also re
ferred to committee,
Mr. Stone reported that Edward
Itooney, who has a trespass suit against
the city, was willing to settle for $700.
Council took no action.
The ordinance, by Mr. Masters, for
additional lights, passed dnally.
.Mr, Whitfield Inquired about the ex
istence of a lighting contract for the
city's streets, but It developed no dis
cussion, nor no answer, except from
Chairman Masters, who sugRCstcd that
tno city solicitor would know.

BORING FOB, WATER.
Srmuel McEnchen's Diamond Drills
in Use by Consolidated Company.
The work of boring holes for arte
sian wells In the vicinity of Brownoll's
swamp Is well underway for the Con
solidated Water company.
The diamond drill Is being operated
by Samuel McEachen & Sons, of
Scranton, who are experts in the work.
A hole of about one hundred feet has
been driven. It Is not expected that
water In sufficient quantity will bo
reached until tho drill has been sunk
at least two hundred feet. The supply
from tho first hole will determine
whether or not more will be bored. It
may be necessary to sink three or pos
sibly more.
Samuel McEachen and his son, Sam
uel, jr., were In charge of tho work
until Saturday, when they left for
Utah to look after another contract.
Mr. McEachen's other son Is now in
charge, assisted by George Ledger.
BEAUTIFYING THE STATION.
D. & H. Company Building Immense
Flower Beds at Seventh Avenue
Depot.
In line with its policy to enhance
tho surroundings of its station, wher
ever possible, the Delaware and Hud
son company Is converting the naked
triangular plot south of the city sta

The spot Is located Just beyond tho
express oidce, nnd has had a naked
look for somo time. Early this spring
It was filled with culm taken from
the site of tho new coal pockets at
the foot of Salem avenue. For tho past
two or three days a gang of laborers
havo been filling tho plot with car
loads of earth preparatory to tho lay
ing out of several flower beds. When
completed It will be a grateful im
