STILL
ALL THE TALK
TOnlsht's Meeting Of the PittStOn Council May
Be Interesting,
THAT old ASPHALT CONTRACT
1t Was Evidently Drawn Up by an Ex-
pert - Does II Mean a Concrete
Foundation or Does 1t Not-Citi-
zens, in Any Event, Will Protest
Against It and an Investigation Is
Quite Certain.


PITTsToN, Pa, Sept 1G
7PHE meeting Of the town council
which takes place this evening
promises to be a memorable one
u in the history of Pittston. The
statements of corruption which have
bene spread broadcast since the meet
ing last Thursday night have worked
the citizens up a high pitch of excite
ment and an interesting time is looked
for. 1t is understood large number
of citizens propose to go before the
council and make known their indig-
nation which has been caused by the
awarding Of the conti act to pave with
asphalt.
1t might be we'll to call the atten-
tion of the public to the fact that the
paving to be done by the Barber A9-
phalt Paving company under their bid
will not be laid on concrete founda-
tion, as many have the opinion, but on
a cobble stone foundation. AT least
this would seem to be the meaning Of
the wording of their bid. which is as
follows: "We will pave Main and Wa
ter streets for the sum of
$2. "a per squire yard for cobble stone
foundation" In this bid there is no
no reference to any concrete
in connection with the pave
except as follows: For cooble.
stone on streets to be used in concrete
we will pay the sum of 60 cents per
cubic yard" IBasmueh as the Barber
company's bid makes no reference to
any use of concrete it would seem as
though there were some very sharp
practice in the wording of this bid and
that the Barber company had in con-
temptation to use the present cobble-
stone without making any allowance
therefore. 1t might be remarked in
passing that if the Barber companys
bid contemplates purchasing tue cobbe-
stone now forming the pave on Main
street at the rate of 60 cents per cubic
yard the bargain is a mighty good one,
so far as the paving company is con-
cerned, as cubic yard OF cobble will
make over wagon load of stone for
which the ordinary price, to gather and
deliver is 81.

UNGRATEFUL REFoRMERs.

Benjamin Harding, head of the ad-
visory committee that since last spring,
has spent wakeful nights in seeking to
guide the wobbly footsteps of Pitts
tons reform councilmen, is thoroughly
disgusted with the action of his re-
form children In council Instead of
listening TO and following the advice
of the advisory committee these in-
CRATES who owe their being to the her
eulean efforts of Harding and his fell
low workers in the cause of reform
turn upon their makers and benefactors
and give them a drubbing that will
compel the advisory committee ee tC
figurstively take it's meals standing
for the balance Of its existence
The dear old Gazette, which through.
out this whole paving agitation, has
perched seraphically on the fence,
comes down now to the extent of mild
ly deprseating the fuss which has been
made. The Gazette is too good hearted
to believe that anybody in this rough
world would invade ethe sanctity OF
Pittston politics to the extent of offer
ing councilman stronger induce
ment than red lemonade of the Sunday
school picnic degree of harmlessness.
We do not find it in as TO take umbrage
at anything the Gazette may choose to
say of The TRIBUNE. We give it carte
blanch to make as may gentle animad-
versions upon us it shall desire, conf
dent, all the while. that what it may,
at intervals, remark will not alter the
facts.

THE LETTER CARRIERS.
The Boys Who Garry Mail Enjoy
q Picnic.

The pleasure of the letter carriers
picnic at Lake Minnetonka yesterday
was marred little at the outset by the
Milwaukee train carrying the picknic-
ers jumping the track about three miles
this side of Hotel st. Louis. The acct
dent was due to tue air brakes, which
would not work. The train
left the depot at 9:15 in charge
of Conductor Crane. and it was about
10 o'clock when the accident occurred.
No one was injured, and another engine
was sent out from the city to assist the
one off the tracks. The picuickers
were Obliged to wait on the train for
hearty two hours, aud it tried ttheir pa
tlence severely. The sport at the lake,
however. was enjoyed the more when
the train finally unloaded its freight at
the lake. The weather was delight
fully cool. the wind from the lake soft
eniEg the intense heat OF the sun.
The bicycle road race awakened con-
siderable interest. The start was made
from the Milwaukee depot at l :43, with
the following contestants: Charles Ii
Lewis, George Monasch, Charles Palm.
E. E. Kasa, j. A. Wirtensohn. M. G.
Ewing, Charles Johnson, 4. Il. Will
Jams and +. j. Hale.
Nj. G. Ewing won the race, arriving at
Hotel st. Louis at 2:5O1S O'Clock:
Charles Thompson was second, at 2:53:
Charles Palm and +. Ii. Williams com,
ing i'll third and fourth respectively.
The programme of sports was inter
esting and exciting. 1t consisted of
running races, walking contests, lump
ing. putting the shot, egg race, log
rolling contest, tub race. tug of war and
base ball game. The contests eyfnced
the fact that the letter carriers are no
mean athletes.

Monday evening. He went hunting with
his brother early in the day, and the
two separated about o'clock. the

his brother was firing at game. When
the latter failed to come to supper his
parents became anxious, and search
was institl.teG. The body Was found

USES OF ALUMINIUM.

BY the Way. a Human Skeleton
ciu,n. --
Argosy.
For years, ever since 1927, men have
known that there was such metal as
aluminium. s.-,...- .+o..- j
A scientist named Wohler. who exI

discovered several metals unknown
previously. Among them was calcium.
which costs $500 All ounce, ON account
of the difficulty In separating it from
, the substances found with it, although
every human skeleton contains about
$500 worth of it. But of all these met
ais aluminium is the white queen.
it has a number of wonderful quail
ties which make it very valuable, and
nature, when her time is ripe, evidently
intends that it shall be the the most
useful agent known, as she has created
it more abundantly than any other
metal. 1t forms almost half the sub.
stance Of the surface of the earth.
Every clay bank is full of 1t, and all
rocks are beds of it.
But thus far 1t has been possible to
take aluminium out of only two sub
stances-"cfyoliIe,' a mineral found in
Greenland, and "bauxite," another
mineral lately discovered in Georgia
and Alabama. In 1883 there were
thirty-three pounds of aluminium pro-,
duced in the United States; in 1899 we
used 100000 pounds, and ten years,
hence we shall doubtless use more
than as many millions.
When the aluminium cap was put OH
the Washington monument, in 1885, the
metal cost sSa pound; now it can be
bought for 81 cents pound.
The racing men are putting aluminium
shoes upon all race horses. Not only
are they very light, but they preserve
the feet of the horse.

built of the new metal. They can be
made of single sheets one-nlneteenth of

very valuable in cooking utensils, and
furthermore, added to its extreme

holding heat, and is almost unbreak.
able.
The armies of Europe have begun to
see that aluminium will be very valu-
able for use in war. Even now they
are using it wherever metal may be
used about the uniforms. 1t is as strong
as iron and light as chalk.
Aluminium has qualities which 20 be-

Frederfckson Wins the SANDER
Suit against johnson.

The SANDER suit against Andrew
johnson. the owner of the Oneida
block, brought by Louis Frederickson.
was determined yesterday morning in
favor of the plaintiff. The jury brought
in verdict for Mr.. Frederickson and
fixed the damages at $1,000. The case
has quite history. When the Oneida
block was built Mr.. johnson had dis
pute with his architect, Mr.. Dennis,
which resulted in suit for SANDER.
The case was tried, and the jury gave
Mr.. Dennis verdict for damages. but
Judge Young set it aside and the case
was tried over again. The second trial
brought larger verdict. Judge Young
then made an order cutting down the
verdict.
Then it appears that johnson and
FredericksOn, who was the contractor,
met on the street. and the former &C.
cused the contractor of being thief
and in league with Dennis to rob him.
Frederickson, remembering the success
OF Dennis, Immediately brought suit,
and with just as good success. He
asked for $50, 900 damages.
