A Republican caucus had been called
the Schriefer contingent refused to pro-
ceed owing to the absence of Mr..
Schaefer. The Schrefer faction last
night brought about an impromptu eau
Gus just before the meeting, but the
Welsh adherents, excepting Mr.. Worm
ser, would take no part in it. Mr.
Walsh Mr.. Carson and Mr.. Williams
remained outside the secretary's office
in which the caucus was held. All
present agreed to vote for Mr. Schriefer.
At 7.55 o'clock President Schriefer
called the session to order and after
acting upon the delay in receiving the
state appropriation an adjournment
sine die was taken.
Mr.. Carson was nominated for tenn
porary chairman by Mr. Conrad before
the new role call had been made, but
Secretary Fellows proceeded with the
preliminary work and finally gave Mr..
Conrad opportunity to again make the
nomination which was seconded by Mr..
Wormser There was no other nominee.
Mr., Welsh was placed in nomination
by Mr. Williams, Mr.. Schriefer by Mr..
Barber and Mr.. Jennings by Mr.. Glib
mating speech
When the result was announced Mr..
Wormser moved that Mr.. Welsh and
Mr.. Schriefer escort Mr.. Jennings to
the chair. Mr.. Welsh objected on the
grounds that it was customary for the
chair to name a committee for that
purpose, but he finally recognized the
humor of the thing, lost the look of
lea Sl1ra ha no
out the meeting and smilingly partici-
pated in the formality
on assuming the chair Mr.. Jennings
responded to the honor conferred upon
him in a brief and happily worded
speech in which he did not neglect to
compliment the retiring president, ask
the cooperation of the board and
pledged himself to try and fill his posi-
tion properly.
SECRETARY FELLOWS RE
ELECTED.
Secretary Fellows was nominated for
secretary by Mr.. Carson, Before the
ballot was taken Mr.. Schriefer moved
that the salary be the same as last
year, $500.
Mr. NOtz offered as an amendment
that the secretary be paid $500 for COM
mittee work, Mr.. Wormser was the
first to recover from what was evident
ly a surprise, not only to Secretary Eel
lows, but to the Republicans members
as well, and he argued against the
amendment, remarking that while no
more competent officer than Mr.. Eel
lows had occupied the position, the
board could not afford to increase his
salary,
Mr.. Gibons debated earnestly in favor
of the amendment and was supported

preciated the honor, and it is putting it
lightly to say they succeeded. 1t was
voted one of the most enjoyable dim
ners that the association has ever held.
The attendance was larger than it has
been in many years the speeches were
of exceptional excellence, and the sub
stantial part of the entertainment as
purveyed by Landlord Mcbride, was
beyond criticism.
At $50 o'clock the annual business
meeting was held in the parlors of the
Westminster, DR.. Harvey, of Wilkes
Barre, presiding. The Scranton men,
bers took occasion during the meeting
to express their thanks to Wilkes
Barre for it's condescension in permit
ting Scranton to enjoy the honor of
entertaining the association, and TO
ex-City Engineer Edward +. Blewitt
for his efforts in securing the afore-
said permission.

follows:

nual meeting assembled, hereby send

of your absence bearing in joyous men,

If Lafayette needed a testimonial
and was looking about for one, she
could not do better than to point to
the half hundred of her sons who sat
about the Westminster board last
night, on the occasion of the annual
dinner of the alumni of Northeastern
Pennsylvania. They were all men who
have done honor to their alma mater
and of whom she may well feel proud.
This being the first time the dinner
has been held in Scranton, though the
association has been eXtant for twenty
years, the local graduates determined
to show their brethren that they ap-
