GOOD FALL OF SNOW.
Made SIeigiling Possibility for Several
Days TO Come Almost BIockadsd
the Trolley Lines.

Six inches of real live snow, the kind
that covers everything, raises hob with
street car traffic, pleases the children
and sends to the woods the man who
says they have no real winters now
that kind of snow fell during Thursday
night and yesterday 1t was of the
innocent variety and came without any
blusler and fuss. But even without
the wind or the drifting 1t made su-
burbanites mutter bad words and foot
travel wearisome, almost tied up the
street car lines, made sleighing for
several days to come and proved i'm
mediately profitable to only the cabby
liYeryman and LIQUID dispenser.
There was no interruption in the fall
until late in the afternoon, when the
storm abated, but did not entirely
cease until late in the night. Mean
while the Traction company had been
making a plucky fight. 1t would not
be admitted that cars were not run

HAWAII FOR ANNEXATION.
Even Natives Want the United States
to Take the Islands.

San Francisco, Feb. 12.-Lorin a.
Thuiston. eX-Hawaiian minister to the
United States, arrived from the islands
today. Mr. Thurston, as president OF
the Annexation club of Honolulu, eX-
poets to accomplish considerable mis-
sionary work in aid of the annexation
movement before his return home.
His mission is not an official one, he
says, and he has not been sent here
either by the government or by the
Annexation club. lie says, however, if
the opportunity presents itself, he pro-
poses to exert his best efforts to aid
the annexation movement. He says
the all-absorbing theme of discussion
in the islands just now is annexation.
As the day for the Inauguration of
President Mckinley approaches inter-
est in the annexation question is be-
coming intensified and widespread. The
natives are joining the movement, with
the idea that the annexation of the
islands to the United States is their
only salvation from the Japanese who
are elbowing them in various fields of
labor.

a member of the board of school con-
troll is to be elected, and in all of the
wards district election officers are to
be chosen.
In the First ward George II. ShireS,
Republican, is unopposed for school
controller, but David II. Reese, the Re-
publican candidate for common coun-
ell, has for an opponent John j. Lotus,
the present common councilman of the
ward. Mr.. Lotus is a Democrat but
was elected two years ago as an inde-
pendent.
There is a lively fight among the
Democrats of the Third ward. No
nominations We're made by the Re-
publicans in that ward. John T. Nc
Namara captured the regular DEM
ocratic nomination for common cOun-
ell, and Michael p. Noone for alder
man. They are opposed by James J..
Grer, the present chairman of the
common council who wants to succeed
himself, and James p Gilbride. They
are known as the Independent Dem
Ocratc candidates. Mr.. Grier has a
large number of fast friends in the
ward, and says he has no fear of the
outcome Mr.. Mcnamara and Mr..
Noon, however, are confident that they
will triumph. They are sparing no eff
fort that will win them votes among
the Grier adherents.
IN THE FIFTH WARD.
In the Fifth ward there is red hot
fight for alderman between Bezaleel
Davis, the regular Republican nOmi-
nee; Benjamin Grifiths, the nominee
of the Democrats and Independent Re
publicans and NJ. l.. Blair, the present
alderman of the ward, who is a candi-
date for reelection on the Citizens
ticket, John II. Walker, the Republi-
can nominee for common council in
that ward, is unoDposed.
OF course, there is a lively fight in
the Seventh ward. 1t would not be the
Seventh ward if there was not. AL
derman p. DeLacy is a candidate to
succeed himself, and from present in
dications will have a good snug major
ity over Terrence Rafferty,, who is a
candidate for alderman on a ticket

ning-and that was true literally-but
from until o'clock the system was
as near TO being blocked and still run
ming as was possible.
The storm came suddenly about l
O'Clock in the morning. Even a mild
wind would have made traffic we'll
nigh impossible, but the coarse sugar
like quality of the beautiful and its
doclity rendered it less troublesome to
overcome.
Business men and clerks We're late
to stores and offices and during the
day business throughout the city was
slight and intermittent. Heavy haul
ing had to be abandoned and the re-
tail trade did not pay rent.
All passenger trains arrived and left
on schedule time. The trains enter
ing the ,city, however, gave evidence
of battles with the storm on the noun
tains.
Before midnight the Traction company
had ell it's lines open and ready to per
init schedule time this morning unless
there is a further fall of snow. The
late weather indications, however, re-
ceiVcd at The Tribune office last
night indicate fair weather and higher
temperature.

sewer. 1t is known, however, that
some of his strong supporters are
among those who are most loudly
clamoring for a sewer, and it therefore
becomes apparent that the hue and cry
raised with reference to Mir. Wirth's
vote is simply an effort to throw dirt
in the eyes of the voters and blind
them to the real situation until after
election. In this ward Jacob f. Mil
Ter, Republican, and Christian Storr,
Democrat, are candidates for alder
man.
Henry G. Dale, Republican, and
Thomas Norton, Democrat, are candi-
dates for common council IN the Twen-
ty-frst ward. Mr.. Dale is a very popu-
lar young man and the prospect of his
election is very bright.

NOT OVERLY DELICATE.
Moulin Rouge Company at the Acad-
cmy Almost to Chic.

The Moulin Rouge Extravaganza
company, which opened an engagement
at the Academy of Music last night is
anything that the title might suggest.
In fact the rather far-fetched efforts
of the performance is too suggestive
of unmentionable things to suit fas-
tidiOus taste.
The Moulin Rouge" people present
a burlesque satire entitled "A Pack OF
Cards" which has almost any kind of
a beginning and the same kind of an
ending with a kind of filing that bor-
ders too much on the Roster ~ Bial
variety to suit the sensitive Scranton
palate. Specialties from the substance
of a skit. OF these the work of Sam
Collins, late of the BLACK Crook COM
pany, is the best.
The company will be at the Academy
this afternoon and evening.

Adiutant Generals Omce

Ad1utant GeneralS once,
Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 10, 1897.
Colonel Henry A. Coursen, Thirteenth
Regiment, National Guard of Pennsyl-
vana, Scranton, Pa.
BY order of the commander-in-chief, |
communicate direct advising you that
complications in the matter of transpOr-
tation of troops render it impossible to
parade the National Guard of Pennsylva-
mia at Washington, March next Every
effort has been made to secure to the Ma
tional Guard of Pennsylvania the pleas
ure and the experience of the trip, but
without success. This is not in any sense
the result of unwllingness of the railroad
companies of the state to favor the men
with free transportation, but is caused
by demands from number of states for
similar faVors which neCesSitated the fix
ing of a very low rates of fare, but even
at the low rate the transportation of the
Guard would be too expensive, and the
expenditure of a large sum of money at
this time for this purpose is deemed un-
wise. You will give the necessary infor-
nation to the officers and men of your
command promptly. The commander-in-
chief regrets exceedingly the disappont-
ment of officers and men of the Guard at
being unable to participate in the Inaugu-
raj ceremonies of the president-elect.

Philip Wirth, the present councilman,
who is the Republican nominee, is op-
posed by Fred Phillips. The fight is
lively, but the odds are in Mir. Wirths
favor. Attorney G. c. Donovan is the
candidate of the Democrats and Re

title to a recollection clear.
