FOUGHT SHY OF BONDS.
Bidders Are Not Anxious to Buy County
Bonds Because They Are Not
Payable Ia Gold.

AS the court house clock struck 12
yesterday the time for receiving sealed
proposals to furnish s65,000 for the re-
pairs on the court house was at an end.
County Commissioners Giles Roberts,
S W. Roberts and John Demuth
opened the bids received and found that
there was not any possibility of award
ing the contract just then.
The commissioners have not decided
whether to extend the time for bidding
or to advertise over again. The bonds
were to be payable in lawful money of
the United States. There would be no
scarcity of bidders If the bonds were
payable in gold. 1t is not in any meas
ure due to the lack Of confidence In the
credit of Lackawanna county, but to
the free silver agitation.
Those who did send in proposals were
not willing to offer any premium for
the bonds, and only two bidders would
take the entire issue. A large number
of brokers sent in bids to take the bonds
after they are foated and dispose of
them at the highest advantage on the
market.
The commissioners have received
stacks of letters from financial firms
willing to take the bonds and pay good
premium for them If the words payable
in gold' are inserted.

ANNUAL MEETING HELD.
WOmen's Christian Temperance Union
Met in Elm Park Church...Some
Interesting Reports Made.

The annual meeting of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union of Sctan'
ton was held yesterday afternoon in
Elm Park church. Vice President Mrs.
d. p. Hand presided. and Mrs. a. F..
Yost acted as secretary. Outside of the
reports from the officers and the COM
mittees the most interesting part OF
the meeting was an address by MISS
Anna Langworthy, of New York. who
is state lecturer on heredity and hy-
siene in the New York state union. She
is now visiting friends in West Pitts
ton.
She said that if there could be but
one generation of right living and
right thinking there would be a race
of people that the world dreams not
of. Dress reforms and rules of hy-
giene occupied much of her attention,
and she distributed several patterns
among the members.
Mrs. Horns led the devotional exer-
cises. and the secretary's minutes for
the years work were read and approx
ed. She reported that Is signals and I
bulletins have been established since
the last annual meeting, and 35l72
pages of literature have been dis
tributed.
The treasurer reported that the be-
quest of $1,000 made to the union by
the late Mrs. T.. S. Reed in her will.

reported II cabooses equipped with
tracts, 32.422 pages of literature dis
tributed among railroad men, and 800
bouquets tied with SCriptural tracts,
presented to railroad men on last men,

Miss Fannie Raub, president of the
Flower mission, reported 13 visits to
the Lackawanna hospital, 1926 bouquets
distributed among the patients, 1,025
pages of literature. 10 visits to the
sick and poor, and ST. expended. Mrs.
Schwartz, superintendent of Loyal

100 in local legions, and two local le-
gions established. one in Priceburg,
the other in Little England. Mrs.
Frank reported II mothers meetings,
and Mrs. Underwood sang solo.
Mrs. Yost spoke on press work and
told what had been done during the
year through its medium. That the
press has not teamed with W. c. T. U.
news is not the fault of the editorial
department. Thirty columns of original
reading matter nave been published in
the Scranton newspapers during the
year. The management of the papers
has been very kind and has not made
any charge for it's space.

CAN'T MAKE UP HIS MIND.
MIR. Merrifield's Decision Is Delayed
Yet Another While.

Edward Merrifeld has not as yet
been induced to take the Democratic
nomination for congress. Yesterday he
received an official notification of his
nomination in letter from r. j. Jen-
nings, chairman of the convention, and
also had an interview with a number
of the leaders.
What occurred at the conference could
not be learned 1t is quite safe to as
sunle, however. that the question of
finance was not totally ignored.
Mr. Merrifield stated last night that
he is still holding the matter under
adyiSement.

CHICKEN HAWK CAUGHT.
Became Tangled in Telegraph Wires
on LGckawanna Avenue.

A chicken hawk was last evening
about 1880 O'Clock seen flying above
the tops of the buildings on Lackawan-
ma avenue. The street crowd noticed 1t
and there was great stretch of necks
for while. After q ten minutes fly
the big bird became tangled in the
electric wires in front OF the Traders
National bank building. So tangled
did it become that it fell to the pave.
The cabmen of Lackawanna avenue
made a wild scramble for the bird. Ike
Bumbaugh was the successful one. He
grabbed the bird and soon had it boxed.
The bird is good sized one. is
speckeled gray in color, and is quite
