Last nights meeting of common
council did not develop the variety Of
debate and excitement that was eX-
peCted to attend the consideration Of
several matters of peculiar importance.
This was chiefly due to references to
committee or other courses OF action
which prevented facility for a lively
session, though it was a long one.
Action on the LaCkawanna COM
pany's telephone franchise is reported
in another column.
communication from Welles &
TOrrey, attorneys for the Barber AS
phalt Paving company, was read pro-
testing against the award of the as
phalt repair contract to the Keystone
Paving company. The letter contained
the statement that the Barber COM
panys contract would not expire un-
til next November. The letter was re-
ferred tu the city solicitor.
Later the concurrent resolution aC-
cepting the proposal of the Keystone
company to repair the asphalt pave
ments was read. 1t was referred to
the pavements committee in ConjunC
tion with the city solicitor and the lat
ter was directed to give a written opin-
ion as to the status of the Barber con-
tract.
Another resolution of importance re-
ferred to committee was that accept
ing the proposal of the Dunn Sprink-
ling and Street Cleaning company to
clean the city pavements.
When was read the concurrent resO-
luton directing the city clerk to keep
a record of the meetings Of the board
of revision and appeal and the attend
ance of the members, it was hurriedly
tabled on motion of Messrs. Walker
and Morris.
PAVING ORDINANCE.
The ordinance providing for the brick
pavement on Providence road and
North Main avenue from Court street
to the city line passed third and final
reading after it had been amended to
make more stringent the provision that
the expense of paving the space be-
tween the rails shall be borne by the
Scranton Railway company and that
the remaining space shall be against
the abutting properties according to
the foot front rule.
The park committee reported favor
ably the concurrent resolution direct
ing the park commissioners to secure
an option on Trip woods so that it
may be considered by the bond Ordi-
nance committee. 1t was adopted. A
| concurrent resolution was also adopted
| directing the park commissioners to
| secure for the same purpose an option
on Round woods in the Fifteenth ward
The sewers and drains committee re-
! ported favorably ordinances providing
| for sewer on Stipp court from Null

lapse INTO SENSATIONAL war rumors in
comparatively quietude. The rumors
ranged all the way from the capture OF
the little Mangrove with a crew OF
thirteen men to the reported de-
struction of the entire Spanish
fleet by Simpsons and Schley's
combined forces. They were circulated
with persistence, Notwithstanding their
denial as soon as they could be brought
to the attention Of any official capable
of passing judgment on their accuracy.
AS the day rolled along the officials
themselves became apprehensive. as
was shown by the frequency with which
they called for the latest newspaper
bulletins. At the close of the day how
ever, it was again announced in the
most positive manner that the navy
department had no information to war;
rant the report Of any sort of engage
ment in the Windward Passage.
Department Had No Information.
This did not specifically cover the
waters of the West Indies, but in view
of the fact that the department has al
most pledged itself to let the public
know of anything in the nature of a
general engagement, possibly the bull
letin announcement is sufficient to COW
err the case. When Secretary Long
started for home after an exceptionally
busy day he stated to group Of news
paper men that the department had re-
ceived no information of Importance.
In response to an inquiry as to where

piled that his belief was that it was
still at Santiago de Cuba. Concerning
the reported capture of the Mangrove
and the loss of other ships the secretary
said that word had come from the COM
mander Of the Mangrove since the time
Of the alleged capture, showing that the
ship could not have been in the hands
Of the Spanish.
Expedition to the Philippines.
Washington, May 25.-The Philippines
expedition is now off in dead earnest.
The sending of these ships will affect
the Hawaiian question vitality. Like
the Charleston the transports must
stop at Hawaii to replenish their coal
bunkers from the great heaps of coal
that Consul General Howard has been
piling up for months past If the Ha-
waiians let us take this coal without
the pretext that we are using it to
make our way to our nearest homo
port-as required by international law
in such cases-they will stand convicted
Of a gross breach Of neutrality that in
the eyes of the law of nations allies
them with the United States in hostility
to Spain. The taking Of coal by the
American ships at Hawaii to make an
extensive campaign against the Span
ish possessions 1T is believed here will
result in compelling the United States
either to assume protectorate over the
islands or to annex them.

day to General Brooke, having been as
signed by the war department to the
command Of the Third corps now being
formed here. The first division Of the
First army corps was reviewed yester-
day by it's commander, Major General
James H. Wilson. Although no partic-
ular demonstration was made yet 1t
was a spectacular scene, made doubly
interesting because ii will go in history
as the first great formal movement by
a large body of troops organized for
the American-Spanish war. 1t is more
over said to be the first review Of the
KIND nad since the civil war. 1t began
early, in the cool of the day, before 8
o'clock. The three brigades of the first
division, nine regiments, practically g.
600 men, formed a line of battle, the
right resting north of the historic Kelly
field.
Thence Ii ran mile perhaps
along the ridge, a portion of the COM
mand forming in the rear, a second
line as If for reserve in an assault. Aft
er the usual formal inspection Of the
line, which took some time, the division
formed and moved in column Of fours,
changing direction twice until on line
parallel with General Wilson, who sat
on a fine horse in front Of a group of
brilliant staff officers The lines were
formed with remarkable rapidity and
precision. Then, in a column Of COM
paDics-that is, each company march
ing in line one behind another-the d.
vision advanced in splendid form. 1t
was a grand sight to witness, and all
the veterans in the camp enjoyed the
unusual spectacle.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says "woman must suffer"
and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration In this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to q physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F.. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became so poor that 1
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. l was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as 1
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
a good color. am completely cured of
irregularity."

MJimn Baker Dead.

Denver, May 19.-News has been re-
ceived from Rawlins, Wyo., of the
death, at his home on Snake river,
eighty miles south ofvRawlins, of Jim"
Baker. the famous scout and Indian
fighter. Bakers death was due to old
age, he being about 80. He had been in
the Rocky mountains since 1882 and was
well known to all the pioneers of the
region. Many of his adventures have
furnished themes for novelists. He built
his home on Snake river in 1873 and
had resided there since that time.
