A Beautiful June Wedding at West
Pittston.

One of the most beautiful and de-
lightful OF June weddings was celebrat-
ed at Pittston yesterday, at 11.30 a.
m. at the family residence on Spring
street, when Miss Lorena, daughter OF
Mrs. Julia Williams, was united in
marriage to Mr.. Charles Werkheiser,
also Of West Pittston. The entire house
interior was adorned with laurel and
meteor roses. The bridal party stood
before a bank Of laurel. The bride,
who is one of the fairest Of West Pitts
toms daughters, was beautiful in a
gown of white organ6ie, with
lace and ribbon garniture. She
carried a shower bouquet OF bride
roses and a point lace hand
kerchief, the work of her sister,
Mrs. hoffman.
The bridal party entered the par
lor to the sweet strains of Men
delssohn's wedding march, played
by Mrs. Rose Van Il. Specie. of Scran-
ton, cousin Of the bride, in the fol-
lowing order: Mr.. Lewis L. Bevier and
Mr. Harry Killian, ushers; Master
Donald Notman, nephew of the bride,
page; bride and groom-elect They
were received by Rev. o. L. Severson,
who performed the nuptial ceremony
according to the Episcopal ritual, dur
ing which the organist softly rendered
the Sonata Pathetique. The ceremony
was witnessed by nearly one hundred
guests,
Among those from out of town

| furnished home on Delaware avenue,

FOUR BOXES DID r..
Remarkable Success Of a New Pile
Cure

People who have suffered for months
or years from the pain and inconven-
fence of that common disorder, piles,
will look with skepticism upon the
claims of the makers of the new dis
covery for the cure of all forms of
piles, known as the Pyramid Pile
Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are
such as to warrant the investigation
of any sufferer. AS n case in point the
following letter speaks for itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of sub-station
No. 3, Hosack avenue, Columbus, Ohio,
writes as follows:
"Gentlemen:-I want you to use my
name if It will be of any use to you.
I was so bad with the piles that lost
work on that account. Nothing did
me any good. read in Cincinnati of
the many cures of piles by the Pyramid
Pile Cure and l went to a drug store
and asked for it. The druggist told
that he had something else that he
thought was better, but I told him
that wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
I tried another and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes, making
four in all. 1 am now completely
cured. Have not a trace of piles and I
had suffered for years with the worst
form Of protruding piles.
1 suffered death from piles, but 1
| found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just
as represented. I have recommended
it to several of my friends and am
thankful to be able to write and tell
you what good the remedy has done
| for me-"
| Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium,
cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind,
and because it is so safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient is cured in a sur
prisingly short time with no incon-
venience whatever.
| Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gsts at so cents per package, and If
there is any constipation it is well to
use the Pyramid Pills at the same time
with the Pile Cure, as constipation is
very often the cause of piles and the
pills effectually remove the costive
condition. Price of pills is 25 cents per
package.
Write to Pyramid Drug Co., Marshal,
Mich, for little book on cause and cure
of piles; sent by mail free.

FUNERAL OF MRS. YOUNG.
Services Were Held at the Home on
Jefferson Avenue.

The funeral Of Mrs. Elizabeth Young
was held at the family residence SO4
Jefferson avenue, yesterday afternoon
at 2.30 o'clock. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Robert +. Y. Pierce,
assisted by Rev. Emanuel Zizleman.
The pall-bearers were James Moir, j.
George Eisele, William Walsh, Fred. ].
Widmayer, James II. Torrey and Henry
Vochroth; the flower-bearers, Edward
Alexander and Adam Kaufman. Inter-
ment was made in the family plot in
Forest Hill cemetery
Numerous handsome floral offerings
attested the esteem in which the de-
ceased was held. Mrs. Young was an
active worker in Zion German Luth-
eran church, but in the home circle her
absence viii be felt most keenly as she
had devoted herself almost entirely to
the nurture of her children. AS an in
stance of this 1t may be noted that
the visit to New York made just before
the fatal apoplectic stroke was the first
occasion on which Mrs. Young had ever
absented herself from home for longer
than a brief period.

ASSEMBLY DESCRIBED.
Address of A. w. Dickson in the
First Presbyterian Church-His
Impressions of the Great
Gathering.

One of the most interesting addresses
heard in this city for long time was
delivered by Mr.. A. w. Dickson last
night at the First Presbyterian church,
in which he gave his impressions of
the General assembly, which recently
closed at Minneapolis. His remarks
were practically extemporaneous, as he
had no time for preparation, but 1t
was a finished and comprehensive ef-
fort, made doubly attractive because of
his unmistakable ability as a speaker.
In beginning, he paid a high tribute
to Minneapolis, which he declared was
so we'll ordered that the law was evil
IDENTIFY enforced. The streets are finely
paved and beautifully clean, although
not decorated and perforated as are
Scranton streets. The car system Is
excellent, no clinging to straps and
platforms, and no getting off or on
while the car is in motion. The good
citizens are on top. Vice and liquor
selling are confined to one section of
the city and are not allowed anywhere
else but everywhere the streets and
alleys are scrupulously neat and clean,
a great contrast to this town. Mr..
Dickson incidentally remarked that
while he is a Scotch -Irishman himself.
he felt impelled to state the fact that
wherever the New Englander domi-
mates in Minneapolis or anywhere else,
there law, order and cleanliness pre-
vail.
He then described the beautiful
Westminster church and paid a trib-
ute to the pastor, DR.. Pleasant Hunter
and speaking of the election of DIR.
81 MI tnr
of that church and home missionary
| to that region many years ago, Mr.
Dickson said that in the deliberations
| he seemed to vote with the winning
party, except in one instance, when he
| still believed himself to be in the right.
He told of Colonel F. L. Hitchcock s
| address on the floor of the assembly in
| favor of the overture regarding a re-
| duction of representation. While the
| coloners re- Drt of the committee was
lost, his speech was heard with the
| utmost interest and was a fine effort
Brief references We're made to the
| Warsorack case, which had so disrupt
ed DR.. John Halls church and was al
| legged by some to have been the in
| direct causes of his death, the Nc
Giffert case and the Peoria overture.
|
| Dickson said that he voted with the
minority, which advocated sending the
case back to the Presbytery in New
York with instructions.
A great satisfaction was felt at the
assembly by the announcement that
with the exception of the Freedmen's
board, the society was out of debt
even the Home Missionary board
which had been struggling under &
burden of $16S,0OO. The Freedmen's
board was relieved by a general cal
to the churches of the country, which
by the courtesy of the Associated

THAT REPAIR CONTRACT.
City Controller Howell and Attorney
I. II. Burns Had a Conference
Yesterday with Reference
to the Matter.

If City Controller Howell is bent on
refusing to certify the asphalt repair
contract, as some of the papers per-
sist in saying, he gave no intimation
of it yesterday during a conference
with Mr.. Burns, attorney for the Bar
ber company, and later in an interview
with a Tribune reporter.
Mr.. Burns waited upon him to have
him certify the contract with the least
possible delay so that the asphalt COM
pany may get at the streets at once.
He told Mr. Burns that he was fully
alive to the urgency of the case and
would move in the matter with all due
dispatch. He would endeavor to reach
a decision today, he said.
He said he was not thoroughly sat-
isfied that the ordinance was legal in
every respect. A number of alleged
defects have been pointed out by the
newspapers and he wants time to look
into the matter.
Mr.. Burns VOLUNTEERED the assurance
that these defects were all imaginary
and further pointed out to the control
Ter that he is not concerned in that
phase Of the matter at all events. In
proof Of this he cited to him the vii.
Transport case of the commonwealth
against George. 14S Pa, page 467, in
which the Supreme court, in a situa-
tion exactly similar to this, said that
the controllers sole duty was to as.
certain if there was an appropriation
to meet the expense contracted by tht
ordinance and. IL there was, then tC
certify the same and open an account
on his books. The regularity of the
ordinance was not for the controller
the opinion declared. His duty wal
solely ministerial.
When seen later by a Tribune re
porter Mr.. Howell seemed to be strong
ly impressed with the logic of Mr.
Burns arguments. Leastwise he wa!
not inclined to seriously discuss tn,
wild and rambling Allegations Of Il
legalities charged against the ordi
nance and the contract and every othe
old thing connected with the case.
when / am satisfied that there ar
no discrepancies between the papers.
said Mr.. Howell, II feel that 1 viii
