the gathering was a paper read by
DIR. Fred Johnson, of the Wilkes Barre
Record, on the Pioneer Woman of
Wyoming" which really contained a
history of the old families of this and
the Wyoming valley. The paper
showed great care in the collection of
historical data, as well as in the ar
rangement of facts.
At the conclusion of the meeting, re-
freshments were served by Mrs. Will
cox. 1t was announced that Mrs.
Thomas Ford has agreed to give a lot

THEY WANT MORE WAGES.
Journeymen Painters Are Now Agitatiug
with a View TO Getting a Re-
adjustment of the Scale.

The journeyman painters OF Scranton
have begun a movement to bring about
an adjustment of wages and with this
end in view have submitted to the boss
painters a proposition embodying their
grievances and demands and what they
Will agree to do in return IL the de-
mands are acceded to.
They first want a nine-hour day and
uniform rate of wages of rs cents an
hour. At present painters are work.
ing for anything they can get, few of
them receiving even 81 a day. Second
ly, they want an hour and q half pay
for every hour of extra time worked
and double pay for Sunday work.
Thirdly, they demand car fare and
board when sent out of town on job.
If the boss painters will agree to grant
these demands the journeymen will
guarantee to prevent union men from
taking contracts and evening work on
their own account, which, the boss
painters say. is the cause of their poor
business and consequent inability to
pay high wages.
Last night in Finleys hall, Lacka-
wanna avenue, mass meeting of
painters was held under the auspices
that James II. Sullivan, the grand
master painter, would be present to
make an address, but he telegraphed
| during the morning that he could not
come and so the committee secured c.
Ben Johnson, of the Sunday News, tC
take his place.
Mr.. johnson made a stirring and in.
structive speech on the trades unions
feature of the labor question, which
worked up the enthusiasm of the audi
ence to the highest tension. Shorter
| speeches were also made by Colonel f
! j. Fitzsmons, editor of the Snday
News; President William f. Keipe
and Secretary Peter Holden, of Paint
ers' and Decorators union, No. 11S
John Devine, William Shopland anC
William Archer, of the Carpenters
union, and Philip j. Thomas, presi
dent of the Central Labor union, whc
was chairman of the meeting. Thirty
five applications for membership were
received from journeymen painters.

SPECIAL MEETING.
President SandersOn Has Issued a Call
for the Select Council for
Tuesday Evening.

A special meeting of the select coun-
ell has been called by order of Presi-
dent Sanderson for next Tuesday even
ing for the purpose of considering the
appropriation ordinance and such gen.
cral business as may come before the
meeting"
Common council meets in adjourned
session tonight when the appropriation
ordinance will come up for third read
ing. On Tuesday night the Democrats
failed to support the amendments Of
fered by the Republicans to strike out
the 5000 fer carriage hire contracted
by the agent of the Associated Char
tiles or to reduce the item of 81, 900 for
mayors clerk to 5000. The ordinance
passed two readings without the votes
of the Republicans.
The result can be easily seen. On
Tuesday night the Republican majority
Of select council will make the amend
ments and pass the ordinance on two
readings. After a third reading it will
be sent to the lower branch for con-
currence. If the Democrats have not
then experienced a change of heart
and will not consent to approve the
amendments, there will undoubtedly
he appointed joint compromise COM
mittee If the compromise committee
doesn't agree, further procedure is mere
guessWOrk.
There is the possibility that the Re-
publican majority of select council may
not insist on the amendments offered
by their minority in the lower branch,
but such a course is hardly probable.
There is q decided disposition among
the Republicans to have the appropri-
alton ordinance adopted in about the
condition it was when received from
the old estimates committee and with
out the jobbery amendments tackled
to it by the Democrats of the lower
lrapch

FOUR BOYS LEFT HOME.
They Have Been Located Ia StrOudsburg
and Will Be Brought Home
TO This City.

"Boys will be boys" is an old adage
and ii seems that four youths from
the West Side are of this mind. Some
anxiety, and, in a sense some humor
is connected with the disappearance
of the following boys: Charles, son
of Dr. L. II. Gibbs, of 217 South Main
avenue; Charles. son of Christ Beav-
ers, of sos South Hyde Park avenue;
Floyd, son of Stephen G.. Kimble, of
S12 Hampton street, and Willie, son of
Albert G. Hammett, Of 702 Hampton
street.
The boys left yesterday morning
about o'clock ostensibly for a trip
to the woods for a pleasure jaunt.
They had a small sum of money with
them, and as they stated to some of
their boy friends, a pass on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western road
for Buffalo.
1t is said that a telegram was re-
ceived by a boy on this side from
the wanderers, stating that they had
arrived safely at their destination.
But this could not be verified. a later
message, however, stated that the boys
had been located at Stroudsburg. They
will in all probability be sent home
to their anxious parents.
