FOREST CITY.

John Driscoll and Mary Ording, two
| popular young people of Forest City.
We're married Wednesday afternoon at
| 3 o'clock in st. Agnes church, by Rev.
j. j. Coroner. They will reside here.
The Athletic base ball club Of Forest
City has organized for the season. and
are now ready to wipe up the time
with any nearby aggregation of non
professional sphere-welters. They have
already issued challenge to the Simp-
son nine to play them game at the
latter place on May s. B. +. Maxey,
esq, will hold the stakes, umpire the
game and keep the score.
Mrs z. C. Bell of Carbondale, visited
borough friends Tuesday.
| A tough from Richmondale got full
of bug juice Tuesday morning and went
| through a course of calisthenics on
Main street. He finally wound up by
| insulting a lady who was passing. He
was collared by officer j. G. Westcott
and slept off his eXhilaration in the
Center street chateau, afterwards Civ
ing up an equivalent for the trouble
taken with him in the form of fine.
| A Poander who was quite seriously
taken to the Emergency hospital, at
| Carbondale, yesterday.
Young men and their weaknesses,
losses. impotency, tired feeling. heart
troubles positively and quickly cured
by Scranton's greatest specialist, DR..
Reeves, 412 Spruce street.
The Carbondale Traction company
will come into this borough whether our
enterprising council wants it to or not;
at least so says report and present in
| dications point that way. The track of
| the company has been extended right
up to the borough limits on the south,
and about an eighth of a mile nearer
here than the former terminus. J. w.
Aitken and couple of engineers were
here Tuesday looking over the ground,
and it is said the company will build
bridge over the creek between here
and Vandling at a point east of the
present bridge and that a road bed will
be graded through the land of the
| Delaware and Hudson, east of South
Main street. In this way the company
| could come as far as the Hillside Coal
and Iron company's railroad track. or
almost into the center of the town. with
out franchise from the council. While
we, with the majority of people in the
| borough, would rejoice If the COM
pany would do this and give us the
| facilities we deserve and need, yet we
regret that such a step on the Traction
company's part is necessary. If fran
chise had been granted with the re-
strictions which the company agreed to
q
cars would now be running on Main
street, we would have the patronage
of Vandling and Richmondale, and our
principal thoroughfare could be in a
great deal better shape than it is to-
day. But the majority of our council
men stood out fatty and persistently
against the will of nine-tenths of their
| constituents, gave the franchise to a
road on paper, diverted the trade of
the two villages south of us to Car
bondale and, held Forest City up to
the gaze of outsiders as community
opposed to modern progress. Now it
seems the road will come in spite of
them, but Forest City will lose ad-
vantages that it might have gained had
our representatives thought less of per-
sonal prejudice and more of the will of
the people who elected them. Never
theless we are glad the road is coming.
We want electric lights. Where is
the Forest City Heat, Light and Power
company?
j. f. Gallagher and bride returned
from their wedding tour Tuesday after
noon. The Forest City band gave them
a serenade the same evening, and after
wards the boys were invited in by Mr..
Gallagher and very pleasant time was
spent, enlivened by vocal and instru-
mental music. The Tribune wishes Mr..
and Mrs. Gallagher a pleasant voyage
on the sea of matrimony.
A son of j. c. Davis was severely
| but not dangerously kicked by a mule
Monday morning
William and Frederick Wolfort have

where they will work in tannery.
Colonel T. d. Lewis, who died Monday
in Scranton. was a half brother OF
Druggist Alfred Davis, and the latter is
in Scranton, called there by his broth
er's sickness and death.
| The drug store of Joseph Davis was
moved Tuesday from the Maxey build
ing to James Johns building, formerly
occupied by ]. J. Janwick as a drug
store. The building has been remodeled
and repanted.
