REUNION OF ODD FELLOWS.
Had an Enjoyable Days Outing at
Lake Ariel.

The Odd Fellows of Lackawanna
county held their first reunion at Lake
Ariel yesterday. IL attracted about
1000 persons to that resort and was
far more successful than its promoters
had hoped IL would be. The reunion
was in charge of a committee of forty
representing the twenty-eight odd
Fellows lodges of the county, and two
Rebekah lodges. The latter is the
womans branch of the order.
John II. Kelly was chairman of the
general committees; Miss Won Storch,
secretary, and f. T. Davis, treasurer.
All of these officers reside in Scran-
ton. Mr.. Kelly said yesterday that
he was greatly gratined over the large
number who were present at the re-
union and the general success that
had attended 1t. After yesterday, he
said, there was no doubt but that a
retunion will be held annually by the
Odd Fellows of Lackawanna county
at increases the fraternal spirit"
said Mr.. Kelly, land brings the MEM
bers of the order closer together be-
sides giving Odd Fellows and their
families a delightful days outing, with
congenial associates"
During the day there were games of
all kinds and all of the contests were
watched with keen interest. One of
the interesting events of the day was
a nail driving contest for women.
There were ten entries, each of whom
drove ten nails into n plank. The
Judges, o. l.. Colvin, w. II. Treverton
and John Francis, all of Scranton, de-
cided that Mrs. Isaac Williams, of
Scranton, drove the ten nails allotted
to her in the shortest space of time
and also in the most workmanlike
manner. She was awarded the prize,
n handsome gold badge
The Lawrence band accompanied the
excursionists and gave n concert, and
also furnished music for dancing. The
enjoyment of the day was unmarried
by an unpleasant incident or by ac-
cident.

FLYNN WILL ALSO RUN.
Archibald Man Declares Against
late-Makers,

John E. Flynn, of Archibald one of
the defeated Democratic candidates
for jury commissioner announces his
intention to run as an Independent.
After stating that he is prompted
in this move by the belief that dele
gates to Democratic convention
should have a voice in the naming of
the party ticket, he proceeds to say:
81 was a candidate for that office at
the Democratic county convention in
1897 and also at the convention in
Scranton last Tuesday. I am con-
vinced that on each occasion / was
fraudulently deprived of the office.
Money and other influences were used
against me, with the result that men
We're nominated who were favorable
to the corrupt schemes of the party
managers, and 1t has been impossible
for a poor man or a man of moderate
means to get fair treatment. l believe
a majority of the people of this coun-
ty are not in favor of such methods,
and, after some deliberation, l have
concluded to come before the people
at the November election"

the purchase or the sale of any horses
whatever. no one having consulted
him at all.
Mr.. Chittenden thought that the re-
port should not be adopted until DR..
Sltterly was given a chance to explain
his side of the case. and. accordingly
moved to lay the matter over until
the next meeting. The motion was
lost by the following tie vote:
Yeas-Messrs. Ross, Finn, Thomas,
James, Chittenden, Schneider. oliver,
Wagner--S
Nays-Ntessrs. Costello, Roche, Mel
win, Mccain, Clemons, O'Boyle, Vau-
CHAN, Coyne-S.
Mr.. Vaughan then moved the adop-
tion of the committees report, but
the lines remained unbroken and the
motion was lost by the same tie vote.
Mr.. Vaughan succeeded, however, In
having the report received and filed.
When seen after the meeting he
stated that the six horses would be
returned all right, he thought, and
said that he believed the agitation
would prevent any further repetition
of such deals.
There's been n scandal attached to
every horse purchase ever made by
councils" said he. land it's about
time the thing was stopped. This
man Cobb knew nothing whatever
about these sales. All he knows is
that ex-Chief Walker, Morris V. Nor
ris and Or. Sitterly gave him money
aggregating $500 and told him to
credit it to the city. He did this. and
one would fancy to see the credit bill
that the six horses were turned over
to him and that he disposed of them.
We've got lots of more facts about
this horse deal ready to spring in
case we need to. For instance it can
be proven that one of the horses pur-
chased from Cobb by the city for 5000
was offered to the Keystone Brewing
company for $175 a few days before.
The city could afford to pay $25 more,
I suppose the dealer thought.
That's just one little incident. I've
been travelling around pretty much
the last two weeks investigating this
matter and it's surprising all 1 came
across.
Mr.. Roche and Mr.. Lidstone were
the other members of the special COM
mittee.

WANT MONROE WATER.
Another Scranton Company to oper-

IAN organization to be known as the
Tunkhannock Water Supply company
will apply for a charter to do busi-
ness in Monroe county. The stock
holders are Clarence Ballentine, Frank
Beavers, John f. Cummings, j. NJ.

1.-THE above stockholders are all resi-
dents of Scranton. Like other pro-
gressive men of the city they see that
there is something in water as a
commodity, and they regard Monroe
county as q fertile field for their oper-
alton. They want, of course, TO be in

scheme comes along that has in view
the taking of all the lakes and water
supplies of that section Of the state

ing him vigorously.

was finally settled amicably.

With the advent of T. r. Clarke as
division superintendent of the Lacka-
wanna railroad yesterday came the
resignation of Train Master f. Z.
Hamilton, which was voluntarily
handed in to Superintendent Clarke
shortly after the new official assumed
his duties.
Mr.. Hamilton contemplated resign
ing several days ago, and when The
Tribune announced Superintendent
Salisbury's retirement he forthwi n
rendered his resignation, TO take effect
Immediately.
1t was well known among railroad
men that Trainmaster Hamilton was
Superintendent Salisbury's right how
er and this, in a measure, accounts
for their retirement within twenty
four hours of each other. MIR. Hamil-
ton acknowledged the fact that he had
resigned when asked by a Tribune
man, but would not give any reasons
will you remain until yOiIr success
sor has been named?" he vas asked.
The reply was in the affirmative, but
in all probability that will be but day
or two as 1t is rumored that Edward
NJ. Rine, chief train dispatcher, will
succeed him.
The resignation Of Mr.. Hamilton was
also confirmed by Superintendent
Clarke, but no action was taken yes
terday, owing to the absence of Gem
eral superintendent Russell, who was
in New York comforting with President
Truesdale.

wanna railroad about year ago from
the New York, Susquehanna and
Western railroad where he was train

now general superintendent of the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western coal
department. He succeeded George NJ.
Hallstead, son of ex-General Manager
William f. Hallstead, who retired
shortly after the advent of President
Truesdae.
Another important change was made
In the car record department yester-
day, when Robert l.. Sproule, distribut-
ing clerk In the transportation de-
partment, was appointed by Superin-
tendent DAILY to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Chief Car Ac-
countant G. NJ. Lowe, who recently re-
tired from the company's service.
Mr.. Sproule has been clerk in Su-
perintendent Days office for over a
year. He came here from the Illinois
Central and is young man who gives
much promise of becoming a promi-
nent factor in railroad circles. He sue
ceeds II. A. Seaborn as chief clerk Of
the car record department, the latter
having been temporarily in charge OF
affairs at the Lackawanna avenue Of
flee since the retirement of Mr.. Lowe.
Division Superintendent Clarke as
sumed charge of the office vacated by
Mr. Salisbury yesterday, and, after ac-
quainting himself with the clerical
force and some of the details, went
over the Southern division with Messrs.
DAILY, Salisbury and Hamilton on a
tour of inspection. The party returned
on the Comet at 800 o'clock.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Clarke grant,
ed an interview with a Tribune man.
He stated that as yet he was not very
familiar with the duties of his new
position, but hoped to merit the re-
spect and confidence of the Lackawan-
ma employees. George E. Stoddard, who
has been chief clerk to Superintendent
Salisbury, together with the other
clerks, has been retained.
Mr.. Salisbury is still in the city and
will remain here a few days. He in
tends taking a rest, after twenty-nine
years of active service. AS yet he is
undecided as to what the future has
in store for him, but, with all his ex-

Her pulse has the passion of April rains,
Out OF the heart OF a satin flower

That they might be lovely and Turing and
