A joint meeting of the picnic COM
mittee of the Century Hose company
and the ladies who are to assist at the
coming picnic of the company was held

cess. Tomorrow evening a regular

CHANGE IN RECORDERS OFFICE.
1t Is to BE Kept Open During Busi-
ness Hours.

Attorney j. H. Torrcy yesterday pre-
sentcd to Recorder Warnkc the petit
tion of seventy or eighty members of
the bar requesting that his Office be
kept open during all business hours of
the day. The request was received
with entire courtesy and the recorder
after stating that he had already con-
sdored the matter, assured Mr. Torrey
that he would within a day or two
make such arrangements as would fully
meet the wishes of the bar and the con-
VcnienCe of the public.
The custom of closing the county
offices during the noon hour Is a legacy
of previous administrations. 1t is now
recognized on all hands that Scranton
has long since OutgrOwn such provin-

other county CtliCes, so far as they do
not already do so, will follow the lead
Of the recorder so that those who have
business to transact in them will not
meet the annoyance Of finding during
certain hours of the day an empty
office and a locked door.

OPENING PRICE STREET.

After considerable delay, the OPEN
ing of Price street between North
Bromley and North Sumner avenues
seems on a fair way to be completed.
First a vexatious delay was caused
in the purchase of the necessary pro-
perty to ensure the opening. After
this was brought about there were no
funds available for the proper grad
ing, etc. Though the small dwelling
house and fence then standing on the
property Were torn down and removed,
yet nothing further was accomplished.
Recently a surplus of several thou
sand dollars was discovered in the
city's treasury and a small appropria-
tiOn from it was secured by Select
Councilman Simon Thomas and Com
mon Councilman w. V. Grifiiths of
the Fourth ward. Work was begun
yesterday at the opening and it will
soon be in shape for vehicular traffic
The work is being done under the di-
rectiOn of the COuncilmen.

the services which marked the final
tribute of respect and love for the late
Thomas u. Davies, and which were
held yesterday afternoon at the resi-
dence, 709 South Main avenue.

ent Order of odd Fellows, and Devil
SAINT lodge, No so, order of American
1vorites, and many persons from out
of-town were present.
In accordance with an oft-eXpressed
wish, on the part of the deceased dur
ing life, the services were short and
simple. Rev. j. 7. Morris, former pas
tor of the Bellevue Welsh Calvinistic
Methodist church. read passage from
the Scriptures. Short addresses were
made by Rev. II. II. Harris, of Taylor,
and Rev. Hugh Davies. pastor of the
South Main avenue Welsh Calvinstic
Methodist church. The former spoke
in English, the latter in Welsh. Rev.
William Lloyd, of Taylor, offered the
prayer. The selections were sung by
the choir of the First Welsh Baptist
church.
The services concluded, opportunity
was given the friends to view the re-
mains. Nearly half an hour was con-
sumed in doing this. though many had
previously viewed the remains in the
morning,
