THURSDAY NIGHTS MEETING.
Matters That Will Come Before the
Select Council.

At Thursday nights meeting of Sc
lect council the bond of city solicitor
elect NJ A. Mckinley will come up for
consideration. 1t is in the sum of
$4,000 and has T. F. Leonard. P. j.
Conway and j. j. Fahey as sureties.
The common council approved it with
out question. 1t has been stated that
an effort would be made in select coun-
Gil to hang the bond up but it is not
likely any such action will be taken.
A communication is expected from
Mayor Bailey with reference to the
case of Patrolman Flaherty. Persons
who are close to the mayor predict
that the officer will be reinstated. The
ordinance providing for a sewer on the
West Side to drain the greater part
of the Fifteenth and Fifth wards and
part of the Sixth will come up on third
readin Asewer is badly needed in
that territory.

DATE OF REUNION CHANGED.
Conficted with the National Encamp-
ment at Buffalo.

The executive committee having in
charge the arrangements for the sew
enth annual reunion of Company K
Eleventh Pennsylvania cavalry, have
changed the date from August &c, its
anniversary, to September 1. The re-
union will be held at Gienburn and all
veteran cavalrymen north of the noun
tain are invited to be present. Hotel
accommodations can be had at a rea-
sonable price and good time is prom
ised.
The date is altered owing to the ma
tional encampment to be held this year
at Buffalo, N. Y, in the week ending
August 20, which would thus conflict.

TEN YEARS OF WEAR.
Asphalt Pave at d., l.. and w. Sta.
tion Repaired Yesterday.

In the summer of 1887 the asphalt
pave on the triangle in front of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
station on Lackawanna avenue, was
laid by the Barber Asphalt company.
Yesterday for the first time since 1t
was put down the pave underwent re-
pairs by the same company.
Even at this time the pave was in
excellent condition only the shaky
ground hereabouts had caused long
cracks in the pave. A force of men
under Michael McNulty yesterday
filled the fissures with asphalt and re-
paired other small depressions. When
laid the asphalt was two and one-half
inches thick. Time and almost con-
slant wear has reduced it a quarter
of an inch, but the concrete has stood
the test without apparent damage. The
gutter stones at the edge of the asphalt
have worn so thin that new ones will
be placed.

WE'RE COMING HERE.

The New York state convention was
to have been held at the same time as
the convention in Scranton, but so
many members signified their wishes
70 attend the Pennsylvania convention
that the Empire state physicians have
postponed their convention until one
week later.

Another convention, which will bring
to the city possibly $50 physicians. is
that of the State Homeopathic society,
which will meet here on Sept. %. 20 and
a. The local homeopathic doctors,
seventeen in number, who are members
of the Northeastern Pennsylvania as
sociation, are making preparations
which, in the words of one of the active
members. last night, will uphold
Scranton's reputation as great con-
vention city"
The coming of this convention is an
honor within an honor. Heretofore the
state homeopathists have alternated
their conventions between Philadelphia
and Pittsburg.
SCRANTON SELECTED.
At the last convention. held at Phila-
delphia, the Northeastern Pennsylva-
nit association succeeded in inducing
the doctors to come here next time. 1t
will now be in order for the Scranton
physicians to show an equally hearty
reception to the doctors as Philadelphia
or Pittsburg ever gave. If this can be
done, DR.. Lange states, the annual
conventions will be held here every
third year
At the last meeting of the North
eastern Pennsylvania association COM
mittees were named. The convention
will probably occupy two days, and
among the side features arranged are
an excursion over the gravity to
Honesdale and banquet in one of the
club houses of the city.
The state association numbers SOC
members and it is safe to presume
from the responses received to invita-
tions that half of that number will at
tend the convention. Besides these,
there will be a delegation from the
New York state association, principally
from the tier of counties bordering on
this state.

At the recent convention of health

The conduits are supposed to be
placed ten feet below street surface
an absurd requirement Those de-
scending steep hills lose their grade
suddenly at each point where they flow
sixty to eighty feet from one side 10

pitch down to the next street, where,
possibly, the outlet from sewer-big
in the crossing only--is one to two feet

Elongated pools of reehing putrescent
filth are thus formed and lie scattered
throughout the most populous parts of
the city. Such sewers cannot be flushed
out nor kept clean in any other way
than by being in large part reconstruct
ed. This is not an overdrawn statement
and it IS not the first time that it has
been made. but no apology is needed
for repeating it. The foul condition of

Again, quoting from Mr.. Hazens
paper:
THE German cities as a rule are sit
uated upon much larger rivers than
the English cities, and sewage disposal
has not been SO pressing a problem
with them; but on the other hand, the
conditions for disposing of the sewage
upon land are much more favorable
than in England, and the expense of
carrying out the process is less; and
now that the process has been demon
stiated by many years trial by the
three cities, Berlin, Dantzig and Bres-
lau, 70 be practical success, the I'm
periai Board Of Health, which has great
power in these matters, is insisting
on The adoption OF sewage publication
in almost all cases where important ex-
tensions or changes in the sewerage
systems are adopted. AS everywhere
else it Is difficult TO prevent a city
which has been discharging its sewage
into a river from continuing to do so,
particularly where the river is large
enough so that no great nuisance is
caused. But when city wishes to
extend its sewerage system or Increase
the size of its sewers and the project
is sent to Berlin for examination and
approval. then the board can take the
position that the sewage should be
purified, and it generally does so''
In. this State there Is comparatively
little sewage irrigation. and so far as
known none receiving that careful at
tention which is necessary to make the

DELEGATES TO PHILADELPHIA.
GOOdIy Crowd VIII Journey East
ward from Indiana.

Five of the ten delegates who win jounery
to Philadelphia next week to boom Indi-
annapolis as a candidate for the national
L. a. W. meet of 1898 will make the trip
over the Big Four and c. & o. route. The
Big Four has always been friendly TO the
wheelmen, and H. NJ. Bronson, assistant
general passenger agent, declared himself
yesterday as follaws:
I'VE believe that the national meet of
the L. A. W. in 1898 would be a good thing
for Indianapolis, and intend to exert every
influence in our power to the furtherance
of the plans of the committee that will go
to the Quaker City prepared to compete
with Omaha for the prize.
The Big Four will send a special train for
the benefit of its cycling patrons to the
Philadelphia meet. A rate of SIT for the
round trip has been announced, good going
Aug. 2, 3 and 4, and returning with stop
over privileges at Washington and Hot
Springs Va.
Part of the Indianapolis committee will
go over this route, leaving Indianapolis
Monday evening. Applications have been
received at the local office from all parts
Of the State for information concerning
sleeping cars, etc, and it seems now that
not less than three cars will be necessary
to accommodate the crowd.
