At meeting of the Pittston school
board last night it was decided to have
the supreme court pass upon the legal
ity of the board Of six controllers,
which now manages the public schools
of that city
At the municipal election last spring
in addition to the school directors
elected in wards, six were elected from
the city at large, all of whom were
also chosen as members of the regu-
lar board of twenty-five.
In May Judge Bennett, of Luzerne
county, granted writ Of custer on
the petition Of one of the tax payers
Of Pittston, and filed an opinion in
which he declared the board of six
the legal body. The members of the
board of twenty-five took the prelim-
mary steps to have the case brought
to the attention of the supreme court,
and then allowed the matter to drop.
There is strong feeling in Plttston
i'm favor of having the exact status of
the board of six finally decided by the
highest tribunal in the state. and in
response to that feeling the board last
night decided to have the school dis
triCt bear the expense of an appeal to
the supreme court from Judge Ben
netts decision.
NJ, NJ. Donnelly, attorney for the
board of six, will argue the case for
that body, and p. A. O'Boyle, attor-
rcy for the board of twenty-five. will
make the argument against Judge Ben
nett's decision. An effort will be made
to have the supreme court hear the
arguments at an early day, that a

The decision Of the supreme court
will be awaited with great interest in

{ BEFORE BREAKFAST. SIS

A popular clergyman in this city was
visited by an elderly woman the other
day who urged him to go to q rail-
way station and marry two young peo-
pie who, in freight car, We're anX-
iously awaiting him coming. The min
lister was surprised and inquired as to
the cause of such cOyness. The old
lady assured him that they were very
bashful, and on the way cautiously in
quired if he thought he could perform
the ceremony for a dollar. He prompt
ly stopped and announced his decision
TO the effect that long tramp to the
freight yard of the Erie and Wyoming
was worth more than a dollar, 1t is
needless to say that a compromise was
effected and the knot was tied i'm an
approved fashion.
There is not the wild and uncon-
trollable rush for the new long cars
that has been noticed up to the pres
ent week. Any old car is good enough
these days, for the fine, new ones have
no heat therein, and are not sought
1t is pretty cold weather to ride IN a
big barn OF car with no fire, and
after waiting on a corner until thor
oughly chilled it, isn't particularly de-
lightful to continue the freezing pro-
cess while riding.

evening will be welcome close to
Thanksgiving Day The programme
is to be q charming one, as these re-
citals are always of high order.

Three decades have gone by since
the Excelsior Social club was organ
lied, and last night that well-knoWn
organization held its thirtieth annual
banquet and ball. 1t was perhaps the
most notable function in the history OF
the organization, and was conducted
in the building on wyoming avenue
occupied by the club.
In the banquet hall, on the thlrd
floor, the decorations were beautlrui
and lavish, but it was in the larse
hall in the floor above, where the
members of the club and their guests
danced, that the artistic work of the
decorators was most noticeable. The
committee in charge consisting OF "n-
liam Morris. Isadore Goodman, simon
Lauer and Herman +. Ries received
the guests. In the banquet room loI

MEETING OF UNlVERSALISTS.
Held in the Church at Brooklyn, Sus-
quehanna County.

The siXty-third annual meeting Of
the Susquehanna association Of Uni
versalists was held Wednesday and
yesterday at Brooklyn, Susquehanna.
The Brooklyn church was tastefully
decorated, notably with clematis and
golden-rod. A good number of dele
gates and visitors were present from
Brooklyn, Fleetville, Hopbottom, Glib
son, Nicholson and Scranton.
The most important business of the
morning was the election of officers for
the ensuing year. The following were
chosen: President, F. z. Loomis; vice.
president, Il. N. Tiffany; secretary A.
S. Waldie; treasurer, w. p. Bailey;
delegates to the state convention, W.
L. Bailey and Mrs. Esther Depew.
At D. m. Rev. F. w. Whippen, of
Scranton, gave a sermon from II Cor,
iv.-9, Cast down, but not destroyed"
and the service of the Lords Supper
followed, Rev. f. w. Whippen and Rev.
r. e. Horn at the table. After this
came a spirited discussion, lead by F.
E. Loomis, of Scranton, in a stirring
address on the topic, "Shall We Have
a Bishop" This discussion is prelim-
mary to a movement likely to come up
at the general convention in October at
Chicago.
AT p. m. conference meeting was
lead by Harvey Wenton, of Gibson, and
the evening sermon was given by Rev.
B. B. Fairchild.

NEW ROUTE PROPOSED.
Scheme to Parallel fhe Abingdon Turn.
pike Comes Up Again In a More
Feasible Form.

The project to build a parallel road
to the Arlington turnpike is being
resurrected. Yesterday William Chap
pell, Of Providence; b. f. Ackerly, Will
liam Streeter, G. w. Finn, of Chin
chilla and G. r. Clark, of the central
City, met with Mayor Bailey and
Street Commissioner Dunning in the
Mayors Office to talk over the pre-
limary steps.
Last year the counsels voted 81 500 to
improve the portion of the proposed
new road that lies within the city
limits. Messrs Leach and Streeter
who are foremost in the movement
had offered TO do the necessary work
for that amount, and were prepared
to proceed with 1t, but at the last
moment they discovered that the D.
L. & w. company would not agree
to grade crossing over it's tracks
and the scheme therefore had to be
abandaned.
Now it is proposed to select a new
route crossing the tracks at Vinegar
hill with an overhead bridge and con-
tinuing along the westerly side Of
the railroad all the way to Clarks
Summit. This will entail more ex-
pense, but it will give an infinitely bet
ter road as it will do away with the
hill that on the originally proposed
road would dip to the railroad level.
According to the proposition which
the farmers will submit, the city will
be required to build the bridge across
the tracks and take care of the por-
ton Of the road between the bridge
and Main avenue. They will take care
of the road on the other side Of the
