ANOTHER SPECIAL MEETING.
Effort to Have Both Councils APP
prove Vosburg Bond Tonight.

Another attempt will be made tonight
to have City Solicitor eject Vosburg' 8
bond approved by councils. Common
council is scheduled to have a regular
meeting and Mayor Molr has called a
special meeting of the select branch.
The mayor said yesterday that he
has been informed that select coun-
Gil will be held TO be guilty of con-
tempt of court If it does not meet in
response TO the specific call, ss the
members are naturally expected to in
fer that they too, must approve the
bond.
A preemptory mandamus will at all
events be asked for in case the select
branch does not meet and approve the
bond tonight, and 1t is likely, so the
mayor says, that the costs will be
placed on the absentees.
There seems to be no doubt but that
the bond of City Solicitor-elect Vos-
burg will be approved by the COM
mon council at its regular meeting
this evening. There is no desire upon
the part of that body to avoid this
duty. In fact, a majority Of that
branch met for that purpose on Tues
day evening, but as the call was no,
lOT JOlIll StSolOllb lO VI
was effected and consequently no ac-
ton was taken.
If the Democratic members of the
select council take the unfair advan.
take Of the temporary absence of some
of the Republican members at thi
time to defeat a quorum at the specia
session of the select council which has
been called by the mayor for this even
ing, Mr.. Vosburg will be compelled tC
ask for a writ Of peremptory manda'
mus at once, which will subject thest
stay-away councilmen to damages anC
costs. He dlslikes very much to gt
| again into court, but will be compelleS
to do so as matter of self-protec
| ton.
The election having been held to bO
valid and the fact Of vacancy estab
lished by the order of the court al
ready made, the merely formal matte
of the approval of the bond is all that Il
now before the councils.

Faster Than Ever.

For a long time the Lake Shore rail
way has held the United States record
for fast mail service, but the company
is not content unless it is always at
the head of everything, so changes
were made which enabled them TO run
the fastest regular mail carrier in the
world, which leaves Buffalo at $50 a.
m. eastern time and arrives In Chicago
at s15 p. m. central time, making the
run between the two cities in the re-
markable time of thirteen hours. Pass
enger travel on the Lake Shore rail-
way is as far ahead of other roads as
is their mail service. and travellers be-
tween Buffalo and the West will save
time and get best Of service il they buy
their tickets via Lake Shore railway,

CONTRACT IS COMPLETED
Mayor Moir Will Not Attach His
Signature to 1t for a Time
at Least-Injunction
Is Probable.

City Solicitor NJ. A. Mckinley COM
pleted the drawing up of the asphalt
repair contract yesterday, and in the
afternoon it was submitted to Mayor
Moir for his signature. The mayor
stated to General Manager West, of the
Barber company, that he would let
him know at 10 o'clock this morning
what he would do in the matter.
To a Tribune reporter later in the
day Mayor Moir said he would not
sign the contract for the present at
least. There is no use of my signing
it," said the mayor, when the con-
troller says he will not certify it until
the money is re-appropriated."
The mayor also says there is every
likelihood Of an injunction being sought
to restrain the controller from certify
ing the contract. Attorney Cornelius
Comegys, he said, represented the
| parties who were threatening the in
junction.
When seen by a Tribune reporter
Mr.. Comegys said an injunction is
very probable. i. Morris, who fought
the original contract, will be the peti.
| toner. lie will take an appeal from
| Judge Gunster's decision on the ground
that the contract in question does not
contemplate the ordinary repairs OF
| highways" and consequently can not
| be awarded by a simple resolution. Ir
the meantime he will seek to restrain
| the controller from certifying to the
contract.
The fact that another annoying de-
lay in the asphalt repairs is threatened
has caused the board of trade to issue
call for a general attendance of cit
liens at it's regular meeting Monday
night to discuss the matter and SCI
afoot some movement to bring things
| to head.

Fell from a Pole.

John Smith, a painter, employed TO
paint the flag pole at Public school
No. 26, narrowly escaped very serious
injury yesterday when he was begin
ming the work.
A rope was attached to the pulley al
the top of the pole and board placed
to form a sling, thereby enabling Smith
to be hauled to the top of the pole and
paint from the top down. When Smith
had reached a point about twenty feet
above the ground the rope broke and
he fell. He was shaken up and bruis-
ed, but escaped broken bones or inter-

A musical travesty, "The Tally-Ho,"
was presented last night in the Audit
orium at North Scranton. The auditor
ium was formerly Company ii armory,
but was recently rebuilt and renamed.
The travesty was written by William
Il. Burke, son of Captain Burke. He
has been on the stage several years
and is also song writer and composer
Of music of no little ability.
"The Tally-Ho" is a clever concert
and was well received last night. With
the exception of Mr.. Burke the cast
was composed entirely of amateurs.
Considering that it was first perform
ance and that the members of the
company were unframed in the ways OF
the stage the result was highly salts
factory. The travesty is in two acts,
and while there is no particular plot
there is plenty of action and abundant
plausible exercises for the introduction
of clever specialties. In the first act
Is the "Tally-Ho" chorus, the words
and music OF which were written by
Mr.. Burke. 1t is a .dashing, rollicking
chorus and was given with fine effect
last night.
The leading roles of the piece were

Mae Murphy and Charlotte Hawks.
Between acts first and second num-

several songs that were we'll received,
and William Lynott's songs were loud

Mable Howard sang two numbers that

contributed a violin solo and in re-
sponse to an encore gave a vocal solo
that was much appreciated. Stutzman
and Neubauer played on mandolins
and the olio closed with sketch, 1.-THE
| Outcast," very cleverly presented by
| Miss Marie Gllgallon and Mr.. Burke

were written by MIR. Burke. During

ATTACKING ON SUSPICION.

In 1896 when Messrs. H. T. Will
son and J. H. Dellenberger left the
Democratic party because they could
not endorse its position on the
money. question, they had rather
humiliating experience with the re-
fined Mr.. Dobson, who is now trying
to buy the local organ of the Repub-
lican party. Mr.. Dobson, who was
then running Democratic paper,
imputed anything but honorable
motives to Messrs. Wilson and Del
lenberger for having changed their
political allegiance, and roundly de-
nounced them as "turn.coats, ~
"bolters" and "disgruntled office
seekers
In like manner the Dobson paper
devoted much of its space last night
to abusing Judge G. r. Grant be-
cause he had the courage and the
independence to leave the Republi-
can party in 1896, after it had turned
its back upon an honorable record in
the service of the people, and had
become the champion of organized
wealth and privilege.
This personal abuse of Judge
Grant, coming as it does at so belated
an hour, is nothing if not significant
The fact is that Probate Judge An
derson, suspecting that Judge Grant
may be asked to accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for Probate Judge,
has ordered the Dobson organ to

DR.. R. v. Pierce is and for over thirty
years has been, chief consulting physi-
clan at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, of Buffalo, n. Y. Thousands of
women have written to him describing
their symptoms, and, on following the
advice he gives freely, have become well,
strong and happy. Many sensitively
modest women write to DR. Pierce and so
avoid the disagreeable questioning, ex-
aminations and local treatment so gener-
ally insisted upon by physicians. DR..
Pierce's medicines cure you in the pri-
vacy of your home, and Mrs. Heckert's
case is only one of thousands that have
been cured after the doctors failed.
