ART LOAN EXHIBITION.
will Open Tonight in the Board of
Trade Building.

The art loan exhibit that was to
have opened yesterday in the board of
trade building will not be open until
this evening. 1t is to be conducted for
the benefit of the Green Ridge library.
John Brainard. Il young artist of this
city, who has attained a standing of
no little note. is assisting in the man
agement of the exhibit.
About seventy pictures in water or
oil were hung during yesterday. There
has been, too, a large number of tapes
tries and curios delivered, and they
will be arranged today.
The committee which is arranging
the exhibit has been at work but
comparatively brief time and has not
had an opportunity to solicit loans
from many persons whose names had
been suggested. The management will
feel grateful for loans of paintings,
culios and tapestries from persons who
have not been communicated with.
a 25-Cent admission to the exhibit
will be charged. The display is To-
Gated in the large vacant store room
on the ground floor of the building.
The walls have been covered with a
suitable background and scores of in
candescent lights have been put in
place, so that a proper light is insured.

davit sworn to by some city official on
Feb. .. and Mr.. Quinlan stated that the
same party had EXPRESSED himself 'eE-
actly opposite in the February number
of Municipal Engineering. And so the
debate continued
In answer to a question from Mr.
Stokes, Mr.. Rock admitted that Scran-
ton had some poor lake asphalt pave
ments. They were laid, however, many
years ago by an Inexperienced local
firm. Methods had improved since
then and the lake asphalt paVemen:s
recently laid were good ones.
M. Leonard, in a brief address, re-
marked that from a business stand
point the lowest bid was the one to be
acce2ted, admitting even that its ma
terial aud workmanship ON the sur
face Cf the pavement would be the
poorer IF each company was bound
to furnish an equally substantial con-
crete base, if the Columbia company's
asphalt work was useless. the bond
and the difference in cost would be
more than sufficient to pay for having
the work done over again.
The committee adjourned to meet to-
morrow night at 7.3O o'clock. Select
council will meet Friday night, when
will be afforded, maybe, the last op-
portunity for awarding the contract
in the old councils and before reor-
gani2ation. The committee has had no
chance to voice its individual opinions

WEBB'S PATHETIC LETTER
SAYS His Wife Had Him Committed to
County Jail TO Get Him Out of
the Way.

Mrs. Duggan, agent for the Board of
Associated Charities, has received
letter from an inmate Of the county
Jail which is a pathetic appeal for re-
lease on the grounds of an unjust i'm
prisunment. The prisoner is Frederick
Webb, whose home was in Olyphant,
and he was ncarcerated on January
to await trial for wife desertiOn.
In his letter to Mrs Duggan the pris-
oner says that he is in Jail for the rea-
son that his wife wanted to get him out
of the way so that she can run around
with other men," Webb says that he
left home for five nights in succession.
on this was based the charge of deser-
ton. The reasan that ne left home.
however. said Mr.. Webb, was because
his Wife threatened to poison him. The
letter goes on to say that Mrs, Webb
is a freQuenter of several hotels in this
city. the names of which he mentions
i'm his letter. He fears that his 12-year-
old daughter will be led astray' by
the mothers actions and he begs to be
released so that he may care for her
and his two other children.
He says that he has always support
ed his family and the store book will
show that his wife got $50 or $35 worth
of goods every month for years past.
He prays that Mrs. Duggan Will take
his case before the court so that he
may be released. He also asks for the
arrest of his wife. The letter closes
with directions where Mrs. Duggan
can find his wife in Olyphant, and it is
signed "Frederick Webb"
The letter was sent to Mrs. Duggan
yesterday and was read last night in
the poor board rooms, where a few
members of the Board of Associated
| Charities, though not enough to make
| a quorum, met in an eX-Otlicio way.
f.. j. Lynett read the letter. Mrs.
Duggan was advised to secure a writ
of habeas corpus and secure Webb 5

the contract for paving Mulberry
street 1t was the liveliest of the many
meetings of various kinds on the pave

The charge was openly made by =. j.

had seen the contract papers between

ATTORNEY STOKES CRITICISED.

Attorney Stokes for the property
owners. sought to criticise Mr.. Burns
for appearing in the interest of Dunn
Bros. after having represented them a
year ago, when they occupied much
the same position as does the Co!um-
bia company now. Mr.. Stokes then re-
hearsed the wishes OF the owners of
abutting property for the cheaper
pavement.
Then began the real pyrOtechnic dis
play of the good and bad Qualities of
lake and land asphalt according to the
statements of Mr. Rock and Mr.. Quin-
Ian. Mr.. Rock began it and Mr.. Quin-
Ian finished it. the former occupying
almost an hour and the latter con
! suming nearly as much time rehearS-
| ing the qualities Of the two products.
| Their arguments We're nothing new
and We're about the same as have been
! heard so frequently at the city hall
| during the last year
! Hardly any emphatic statement of
| an unusual character made by either
| agent failed to receive a denial from
| the other and a volume of proof in
| support of his claim.
As an example, Mr.. Rock asserted
| that the "DOcketS" or holes which re-
mained after lhe land asphalt had
| been removed from them did rot re-
| FIJI with asphalt material, thus prov
ing that land asphalt was dead

MED this, saying the pockets" gradu-
