Regarding branch postofIice
Charles Daniels and William Farrell
called upon Postmaster Vandling and
Mr.. Vandling stated that the govern
ment did not realize the large amount
of ground that Scranton covered, con-
sidering it's revenue. He proposed that
a special request be sent in to the gov
ernment stating the above facts. Will
lam Farrell thought it advisable TO
refer to the recent canvass which had
been made here, when it was found
that the West Side office was neces-
sary. On a motion of II. d. Jones the
report of the committee was received.
and the committee continued. After
some warm discussion it was decided
to send a petition to the government.
A petition had been received from the
residents of Ninth street asking for the
opening of that thoroughfare to Meri-
dian street. Mr.. Daniels thought 1t ad-
visable to ask the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western company, who are
about to wash the culm from the dump
near by, to wash it from this point
when the work begins. A committee
consisting of William Farrell, William
II. Roe and r. Fellows Mason was ap-
pointed to see the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western company in re-
gard to continuing Oxford street, which
now ends at Ninth street, to Railroad
avenue. This was thought to be a
most advisable thing, as 1t would open
traffic from the lower end of the West
Side. The members held a short dis
cussion on the rumor that the Agricul-
tural society thought of purchasing
land on the West Side for a driveway
d. NJ. Jones, ex-secretary of that So
ciety, stated that no definite action had
been taken.. The meeting then ad-
journed.

A Dastardly Trick.

From contemporary of recent date We
pick the following information which may
prove of some value and serve as a warn
ing to those of our readers who own fine
pianos.
A young German of prepossessing ap-
pearance has recently been working over
a circuit in western New York tuning and
repairing pianos.
On his first visit his custom has been TO
deposit the eggs Of moths (Which he car
rles around with HIM In the instrument.
These soon hatch into the grub state and
of course at once attack the felt in the
action of the instrument, working much
havoc. On his return visit he insists on
looking over the piano once more. II only
to see If 1t has sustained its pitch. OF
course he discovers the ravages of the
moth, to the unsuspecting owner, and the
damage has to be made good. The case
which our contemporary cites was that
of new Mathushek piano-one of the
most reliable instruments made, and be-
fore the damage could be made good at
every point, new action was necessary.
Moral-Don't let Il stranger monkey
with your piano.
