COMEDIAN MARRIES
A BUFFALO GIRL
Burt Wesner, Now Playing at the
Academy, Was United Sunday to
Standard Oil Company
officials Daughter.

Burt Wesner, comedian of the Brau-
mig Dramatic company, took a flying
trip to Buffalo, N. Y, leaving Wilkes
Barre Saturday at midnight and re-
turned to Scranton Monday morning,
a benedict. The bride is the daugh-
ter of Eugene V. Chamberlain, Of the
Standard Oil company at Buffalo. a
quiet wedding took place at the home
of the bride. 70 Elmwood avenue, Buff
falo, DR.. George Ballard, of st. Johns
Episcopal church. officiating. Mrs.
Wesner will travel with her husband.
The above announcement will be read
with especial interest by many Scran-
tonians of the upper set because OF
their close acquaintance with various
members of the brides family.
Her father is local manager of the
Standard oil company in Buffalo, and
her uncle Horace b. Chamberlain is
the companys general manager. On
several occasions the younger men,
bers of the family have been enter
tanned in Scranton homes, or been in
attendance at some of the swell So
cial events. Mrs. Wesner, herself,
had not been here before her coming
yesterday on her bridal tour, as she
,
in her teens.
The meeting, courtship and marriage
of the young actor and his aristocra tic
bride, as may be believed, were at
tended with many romantic features.
They met while she was at a finish
ing school" in New York, and from
the first it was a case of the most ar
dent love on both sides. The fear Of
objections from the girls parents
made necessary a clandestine court
ship, but when they finally decided
they could not live without each other
longer. and made known their deter
minatlon to marry, they were rejoiced
to find themselves able to overcome
parental objections.
The excellent standing of the young
mans family, his very evident culture
and good breeding. and the added fact
that he is on the Frohman waiting list
with good prospects OF a contract at
an early date, satisfied the Chamber
lains that while the youth then knock
ing at their carefully guarded family
door might be "Only an actor" he was
honorable and talented and above all
their daughters choice. The private
wedding, while forced in a measur.
by convenience, was the wish of both
young people and especially by the
democratic bride.
Mrs. Wesner watched her husbands
work from the wings last night and
enjoyed, no doubt quite as much as
he did, the laughter and applause that
he provoked.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-08-22

that he would not give II up until the
proper time arrived.
Mr.. Leyshon reminded him that
Monday afternoon Judge Edwards in
structed him to hand the revolver over
to either himself of the chief of police
of Dunmore, but Coollcan remained
stubborn.
1T is safe in my possession" he re-
marked several times.
Have you It in your possession here
tonight?" DIR. Paine asked him.
Whereat Coolican smiled broadly
and provoked loud laughter by archly
remarking, ~ object to that question" :"
He then added: But now will give
back the pistol and suited the action
to the word by drawing from his coat
32-calibre revolver, which Chief
Healey took possession of.
That's the calibre," remarked Dr.
Paine as he looked at the shells in the
revolver and compared them mIltally
with the bullet he removed from Got
den's body.
He then stated to the Jury that he
performed an autopsy upon the police
mans remains and found that two
shots took effect, both entering the
left side. The one took a downward
course and lodged in the fieshy part of
the left thigh. The other took an in
ward course and entered the intestines,
where it made eight wounds. 1t was
found about two inches to the left of
the meridian line. "There is no doubt
in my mind" said Dr. Paine, that
that shot was responsible for Golden's
DEATH"
The jury, after a short deliberation,
brought in the following verdict:
I'VE, the undersigned jurors, find that
the said James Golden, police officer
of the borough of Dunmore, came to
his death from the effects of pistol
shots fired by one Tony Longo, who
was resisting arrest on the night OF

ISSUING WEATHER MAPS.
Local Weather Station Gets Down to
Business.

w. e. Donaldson, the official in
charge of the local weather station,
has begun the work of issuing a daily
weather map and also a daily report,
showing the local weather conditions
every twenty-four hours.
The weather maps are issued every
morning and show the maximum and
minimum temperature, the velocity of
the wind and the precipitation during
the previous twenty-four hours in six
ty-four of the leading cities of the
country 1t gives a forecast of the
weather for the coming twenty-four
hours in Eastern Pennsylvania, and
also brief synopsis of the weather
conditions throughout the country.
The weather map proper shows at a
glance the various portions of the
country having had the same temper
ature during the previous twenty-four
hours, and also those points having
had an equal air pressure, besides
deal of other facts relating to the
weather wh,s$ cannot very well be de-
scribed briefly.
Mr.. Donaldson is issuing twenty-four
of these maps now, but expects to is
sue about seventy-fve. He will es-
tablish a regular route in a few days
and the maps will then be delivered
by a messenger. In addition to the
maps he is also issuing a daily fore
cast of the weather for the coming
twenty-four hours 10 all who promise
to display it. He is now sending about
eight hundred of these, four hundred
to persons in the city and four hun
dred outside the city.
These forecasts and the forecasts on
the weather maps are made in Wash
ington, Mr.. Donaldson not having had
the time as yet to do any forecasting
himself. He will be ready to do so,
however, in a few days and from that
time on the prophesies may be ex
pected to be more reliable, he having
a first class opportunity to study local
conditions.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
Does H. E. Paine Succeed His Pre-
decessor on Committees.

Fl. e. Paine. the new common coun-
Gilman from the Ninth ward, yester-
day sent word to Clerk Lynott 10 call
together the sewers and drains COM
mittoe of that branch for the pur-
pose of considering sewer bids, and
his action in so doing raises an in
teresting question.
Mr.. Paine succeeded L. NJ. Tcwhs-
bury as the representative from the
Ninth ward. Mr.. Tewksbury was
chairman of the sewers and drains
committee. The question raised IS
this-does Mr.. Paine therefore sue
ceed him as chairman of this import
ant committee. He evidently believes
he does, as he has arrogated the pow
ers of the chairman to himself with
out being appointed by Chairman Grif-
fiths.
There are others, however, who
think that while he should, perhaps
as a matter of courtesy, become a
member of the committees to which
his predecessor belonged, the chair
manship should go to an older mem
ber.

The Imperial Quartette, of Peters,

programme for the day Is complete,
every minute being devoted to some
form of entertainment. The base ball
game at 1890 a. M, will be played by
strong teams from Hyde Park and

tests comprises upwards of 1ifteen
numbers, and are open to all, free of

donated by the leading merchants of
the valley. No intoXicants will be sold,
therefore, the ladies and their families
can enjoy a day at the lake without

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
PARK COMMITTEE WAITING.
No Counter Proposition to Boulevard
Company Yet.

City Engineer Phillips is devoting
his spare time to the work of prepar-
ing estimates of the cost of both stone
and iron bridges over the Roaring
brook above Nay Aug Falls,as directed
by the resolution introduced by Select
man Vaughan.
Until such time as these estimates
are completed the Parks committee
Will submit no counter proposition to
the officials of the Elmhurst Boule-
ward company relative to the purchase
of that company's right OF way
through Nay Aug park.
1t will be remembered that when the
discussion about the removal of the
company's toll gate. from within the
limits of the park was under way, the
company submitted a proposition Of
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-08-22

fering to sell its right of way through
the park and its bridge for s17,50O. The
Parks committee considered this figure
too high and practically decided to
submit a counter proposition, offering
$40, 900.
Chairman Roche stated yesterday
that the members of the committee
thought 1t unwise to submit any offer
until they had some idea of the cost
of a bridge, which might be construct
ed by the city, over the falls.
1t could easily be determined, he
said, when the engineers estimate is
finished whether 1t would be advisable
to purchase the company's right of
way or for the city to erect bridge Of
its own.

VICTIM OF THE BOXERS.
Former Scranton Woman Reported
Killed or CAPTURED.

Word has reached here from Toledo,
Ohio, to the effect that cablegram
has been received there from Shang-
hal, announcing the rescue of DR..
Charles Roberts, formerly a resident
of this city. who was in charge of a
farm located about forty miles south
of Pekin and owned by the Cheney
Medical company, which cultivated a
catarrh herb on it.
The cablegram announces that DR..
Roberts and several others were found
with the legationers in Pekin by the
allied forces. but that Mrs Roberts
and another lady are believed to have
been either killed or captured by the
Boxers.
The advices from Toledo announces
Mrs. Roberts was formerly a Miss
Jones, of this city, but just who she
was it has been impossible to ascer-
tain.

In sore, straits, indeed, Is the coun-
ty Democracy.
On top of all its other woes now
comes squabble among the candi-
dates over the appointment of a chair
man, and 1t is a squabble that Is like
ly to be attended with very unpleasant
consequences
The announcement in yesterdays
Tribune of the stating of County Com
missioner John J. Durkln for the
county chairmanship started the
bother. The ink was scarcely dry
on the paper before a delegation Of
the party leaders were at the Tribune
office demanding to know where the
information came from. They, of
course, were not given the Information,
and, as is always the case, under such
circumstances, they proceeded to tell
just where and how and when the in
formation was cleaned.
The ticket, it appears has two fac
tions, the one favoring Durkin and the
other opposing him. The opposing
faction claims the other is in the mi
nority and that the public announce
ment of Durkin's selection was
scheme Of the minority faction to foist
him into the chairmanship against the
will or at least not with the wishes
of the majority.
A BROAD ASSERTION.
The complainants aver that the ques.
tion of the chairmanship was not dis
cussed at Mondays meeting and that
It would have been in extreme bad
taste to have considered 1t in the alb
sence of two of the candidates, and
with the ticket not yet positively COM
plete.
The Tribunes story was secured
from parties who were at the meeting
and each of those from whom the in
formation was CLEANED gave exactly
the same account as the other. Whether
or not 1t was a concocted story The
Tribune is unable to state, but It can
say that If it was concocted IL was
well rehearsed before being delivered
This and the prospective vacancies
on the ticket, ought to insure a very
interesting meeting next Monday. All
the candidates will be present, 1t is
expected, and definite action Is to be
taken on both matters.
Unless conditions change between
now and Monday morning, the county
committee will be called upon to hustle
about for two men to make the fight
for prothonotary and clerk of the
courts. Norton and Law both refuse
to accept the nomination. Norton, 1t
is understood, will stand If he can die
tate his own terms, but Law claims
he has had enough of politics and es-
pecially of the kind he encountered
when he had some of the present
| ticket as his running mates three years
| ago, and even though he was so cir
cumstanced that he might go in and
make a fight he would hesitate to do
so as long as certain men are on the
ticket it is said.
AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
What the committee will do in its
dilemma is wholly conjecture. No one
has, as yet, evidenced any desire to
| be named as legatee of either Norton
or Law, and the chances are that the
| committee will find great difficulty in
forcing the legacy on anyone. As
the easiest and least embarrassing.
not to say least humiliating solution,
the committee may allow the names
of Norton and Law to continue on the
ticket as mere filling and allow the
| offices to 60 by default.
