CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Well-Attended Meeting Held Yester-
day in Carpenters Hall.

The Central Labor union held its
regular monthly meeting in Carpen-
ters' hall yesterday afternoon. The ie-
port of Secretary p. G. Moran showed
that there are forty-nine organizations
affiliated. The Associated Press was
censured for sending out a misleading
report from Chicago to the effect that
the Building Trades council lost a
strike. The general reference directory
published by the Central Labor union
is nearing completion, and 1t will be
the handsomest ornament ever hung in
halls in the city of Scranton. The mer-
chants are patronizing it literally.
Officers were elected for the follow
ing term as follows: President, NJ. D..
Flaherty; vice president, Daniel Cole
man; recording and corresponding Sec
retary, p. @. Moran; treasurer, George
Gothic; trustees, Messrs. Devine, Jacobs
and O'Malley; auditors, Messrs. Cooli-
can, Farrell ahd Buckley; sergeant-at-
arms, p. w. Tolan; organizer, NJ. -.
Flaherty.
Contrary to some newspaper prcdic-
tions, politics we're not mentioned. The
following resolution was passed unani-
mously:
Resolved, That we ask the delegates
to this body to report back to tNeir re-
spectivo locals our action in endorsing
the boycott of the Brewery Workers
union against the Central Pennsylva-
mia Brewing company, and ask that
they ratify the same. and that their
members use their influence to discour-
age hotelkeepers from handling the

TOOK A ROUNDABOUT WAY.
Mrs. Jennie Duffy's Long Journey to
the Court House.

Thursday, June Z, Mrs. Jennie Duffy
was to be tried for selling liquor
without a license at her place on
Bridge street. That morning she
started for the court house at $50
o'clock, but it was not until last Sat
urday that she succeeded in reaching
there.
II is understood she attempted to
make a trip to the West Side to Sc
cure one of her witnesses and i'm a
moment of thoughtlessness went by
way of the West Lackawanna avenue
crossing. Judge Edwards to whom she
surrendered herself Saturday morning
lives on the West Side, and conse-
quently was disposed to accept this
explanation of the delay.
IN some unaccountable way a story
got abroad that the conviction of three
unlicensed dealers on the day previous
to that on which Mrs. Duffys trial
was set, had something to do with her
absence, but it's only a story
Mrs. Duffy renewed her bail in the
sum of $500, Martin Clark again be-
coming her bondshau.

For more than a week the Abing-
ton Turnpike company has been break
ing stone and now has 100 tons in
readiness for use in repairing that
portion of the roadway within the
city limits. 1t is understood that the
company proposes to begin the repair
ing of this part of the road immedi-
ately after the Fourth, regardless of
what may be done or promised by
the city. The company, 1t is under
stood, estimates the annual tear of
this stretch of its roadbed as equiva-
lent to the destruction of six inches
of crushed stone, and considers that
to put the roadbed in fit condition
will cost between $1,000 and Sl,5O0.
From the above it would appear that
the company is determined to compel
the city to live up to it's end Of the
contract entered into in 1889, and that
the street commissioners estimate of
81 900 Is not very far short of the
amount required to open the road. The
members of the streets and bridges
committee of common council will in
spect the road this afternoon for the
purpose of estimating for themselves
just how much it will require to put
the road in repair.

1t is an interesting coincidence that
his mother and her two brothers,
Richard O'Brien and DR.. j. T.. O'Brien,
of this city, We're war telegraphers
during the civil war. Mrs. La Gorce
had learned telegraphy quite as a
pastime and when the field operations
called away so many telegraphers, she
patriotically volunteered to assist in
filling up the depleted corps in the cap
ital. She frequently received war dis
patches at the capital that were sent
from the front by one or the other
of her brothers.
1t was with the deepest regret that
the many friends of Il. NJ. Tewksbury,
late common councilman from the
Ninth ward, learned that he had been
ordered to Buffalo by the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company, by whom he
is employed, for he had earned the
respect and admiration of hundreds of
people during his lengthy residence in
this city. Ex-Chairman Luther Kel
Ter, of the common council, when Mr..
Tewksbury's letter of resignation was
ltelu ct last llul 9itiS tNtlllllb lllN'NT
ing, referred to him as "one of the
most conscientious and painstakne
counCimen the city of Scranton has
ever had" and there is no one who can
dispute this statement.
Mr.. Tewksbury oftentlmes stood al
most alone on an issue, but he held
to his guns and didn't go over to the
other side, as some Councilmen some
times do, "to be with the crowd" He
was especially faithful in his attend
ance upon committee meetings, duty
that the majority of councilmen are
notoriously lax in performing, unless
something big is on. No matter how
trivial the ordinance or resolution,
however. Mr.. Tewksbury would al
ways be on hand at the committee
meeting when it was to be considered.
| He very seldom said any thing on
the council floor, but when he did
| speak. he spoke straight from the
| shoulder with a cOnciseness that was
wonderful. He was an excellent COM
panlon and was very popular among
his colleagues in council. Just what
| his new position in Buffalo will be has
not been divulged, but that it is in
the nature of a promotion is known.
| Those who know him will testify that
il was merited and wish him all sue
cess in his new environments.

COMPANY WILL FIGHT.

1t is understood that the turnpike
proceedings which may be commenced
TO have the road condemned and if it
is condemned the company will insist
upon all of it's rights in the way of
damages.
The position the company takes on
the contract entered into between it
self and the city is that the city has
got the best side of the bargain,
though councilmen don't look at it in
that light. The company removed it's
toll-gates from within the city limits.
the city agreeing to keep the road
within the city in repair. The COM
pany contends that under existing con-
ditions the city is merely required to
do what it would have to do did it
own the road and is saved the ex-
pense of paying for the thoroughfare.
Another argument used by the COM
pany is that whether the contract is
good or bad no longer enters into the
question. There is a contract which
has been declared legal by the Supreme
court of the state and therefore the
city is obliged to live up to that con-
tract and keep the road in repair.
THE NEWTON TURNPIKE.
Tho company officials contend that
whenever a turnpike has been con-
demned in this vicinity it has immedi-
ately gone to rack and ruin and point
to tire old Newton turnpike, now being
repaired by prisoners from the county
Jail as an instance of this.
They claim that farmers come miles
out of their way to drive into the city
on the Abingdon road instead of the
heretofore almost impossible Newton
road and claim that the farmers
throughout the upper part of the coun-
ty would Indignantly protest if con-
demnation proceedings were instituted
1t is. nevertheless, understood that a
resolution directing the city solicitor
as an attorney, to bring such proceed
ings, will be introduced in select coun-
oil on Thursday night. Mr.. Vosburg
has looked up the law in the case In
his usual exhaustive manner and con-
tends that thICe are no legal obstacles
| against the condemnation of the road
