These will be addressed by local speakers. The committee thinks that this plan will be more effective than the engaging of foreign speakers, for the local speakers are familiar with the people to whom they talk and, therefore, able to so arrange their addresses as to be most effective. Hereafter Chairman Vosburg, of the county committee, will be at the Republican headquarters every day from 4 o'clock on.

He Makes Comments on the Interview With Itev. Dr. Logan Kegnrdlng the Education of Foreigners In the Laokawauna Valley. To the Editor of The Republican. Sir Judging from the report of an Interview with Dr.

Logan on the edu cation of foreigners in this valley and published in Friday morning's Republican, I fear the reverend doctor is the victim of ecclesiastical fakirs and sharpers. A kindergarten was estab lished in Olyphant a few years ago ostensibly for the purpose of teaching English and cleanliness to the children of the foreigners of this town. The lot on which the building was constructed was donated by the D. H. company and the residents of Olyphant and others donated very liberally for the construction of the school.

I took an active interest myself in encouraging the foreign children to attend the kindergarten and visited the school on several occasions. In fact I felt pleased In the humanitarian interest Dr. Logan had taken in the practical education of the little Hungarians, Poles and Jews of Olyphant. Everything went on harmoniously until In an evil hour the doctor publicly announced in a sermon preached some ten years ago in Scranton that the object of the erecting of the kindergarten in reality was not only to teach English, but also to make good little Presbyterians of the foreign children and also to influence their parents to renounce Romanism. It then dawned on the parents, of Hungarians of this place that the kindergarten, instead of being a charitable school, was nothing more than a proselyting institution established for the conversion of their children from the faith of their fathers to Presbyterlanism.

The outcome of the event was that the Hungarian parents and others withdrew over 70 children from the kindergarten and established a Catholic school of their own, presided over by two Sisters from Scranton. The building is left, but its utility has been ruined by the Doctor's overzeal in endeavoring to hook the little foreign fish for his Presbyterian pisciculture. How it has fared with the kindergartens at Blue Ridge breaker, Stella and Dunmore I have no reliable information at hand, but I presume they bave met with the same fate that befell the Olyphant kindergarten. Proselytizing foreigners in this valley is a difficult task, and the doctor will. In the near future, realize this fact and also ascertain that he has labored all night and caught nothing.

Look at the kindergarten built by an estimable lady at Archbald, for the object of education of the children of that borough. There Is no proselytizing in that school and the consequence Is that It is crowded both by Catholics and Protestant children. The work of prosely tizing the foreigners of this valley cost last year, $7,104.10, and In the previous year were spent If that amount of money were spent In closing the saloons on Sunday and regulating the sale of intoxicants, the results would far better and nobler than going around cajoling poor foreigners with the promise of work if they would only join certain churches. The days of Louperlsm are past and it will never do in this the end of the nineteenth century to revive them. The doctor claims that the fruit of the expenditureof $13,712.05 Is 150 Maygars and 400 Italians attending missions.

Can It be possible that the doctor Is so credulous and guileless In believing that these Italians are sincere In their religious professions? It is an utter impossibility to make a sincere Protestant of an Italian. Some of them are very Ignorant and unscrupulous and will pretend to join any church for a pecuniary consideration, or If the "boss will give him a good Jod, as ne calls employment. "If the doctor desires to ascertain the truth of these facts he will not have to go very far to have them verified. A to the Maygars, a small percentage or. these people were Lutheran in Hungary, and it Is not surprising If there should be 150 Maygnr non Cathollos from Forest City to Nanticoke.

In Jessun there are ten families of Hungarians who belonged to that raitli at home, and a year ago they had a resident minister receiving a THE SCRANTOX REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1899. salary from the mission fund and the owners of one of the mines in that place. The Catholic Hungarians have a church in Jessun, built by their own hard earned dollars, and contribute $1 dollar per month to the support of their priest. 1 mention this fact to show the sincerity of these people. You touch a man pocket book, and if it opens to the call of religion you cannot very well doubt his sincerity.

"The effects of this movements are visi ble where missions have been estab lished. I failed to discover the movement and did not know that such a movement existed until I read of it in this morning's Republication. I write this in the interest of the truth, so that Dr. Logan and other well meaning ministers in this valley may know that among the foreigners from Forest City to Nanticoke they will find ignorant and educated scoundrels who will join any church provided they can gain temporal advantage by so doing. Witness a "Father" George who pretended he was a Catholic priest from Syria and forged Bishop Hoban's signature to a letter in order that he may collect funds from the Catholics of this valley.

He was arrested in Carbondale, but the bishop refused to prosecute him provided he should return the funds to his victims. Beware, reverend doctor, of fakirs and frauds who come by you in clothing of sheep. The conversion of an Italian reminds me of a funny anecdote of the Irish peasant who requested a landlord to give him pasture for his cow. The landlord replied that he would do so in case the peasant, who was a Catholic, would attend his (the landlord's) church. The peasant consented to do so and went every Sunday to the Protestant church after he had heard mass in the morning at the1 Catholic church.

The landlord met him one Sunday coming from the last named church and accused him of hypocrisy and failure to live up to his contract. The Irishman replied: "I have kept my contract. I attended your church for the grass for my cow and I attended mass at my church for the salvation of my soul." P. J. MURPHY.

LACE CURTAIN COMPANY Its Failure Bobbed Up In Court Again Yesterday. Among the cases on for argument court yesterday was that of William Creighton, Mark H. Birch and Benja min F.

Bailey against tne scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing company, to determine the validity of a confessed judgment. The officials of tne company con fessed judgment to Creighton and Birch about two years ago and some or the directors of the company, notably Stephen Chappell, alleged that the confession was fraudulent. Mr. Chap pell petitioned court to investigate the matter by awarding an issue to deter mine tne vaimity or tne judgment. The petition was dismissed by the lower court but returned by supreme court, directing that the lower court be reversed f.nd the issue awarded.

The petitioner, Mr. Chappell, claims (hat the officers of the company have neglected and refused to try and have the Judgment opened, thereby allowing tne stockholders of the company to be wrontred. He therefore asked that court award an issue for trial before a jury in accordance with the decree of supreme court. I Cushionet Tumi Ease Welts.

SOLICITOR VOSBURG'S OPINION The Mayor's Veto was In Duo Form. Council's Haven't Passed the Ordinance Over the Veto, Consequently It has No Force History of the Legislation In Connection with the bjec Correspondence. Yesterday City Clerk Lavelle received an opinion from City Solicitor Vosburg, declaring the ordinance providing for the paving, of Linden street from Monroe avenue to Webster avenue invalid. This opinion was given in answer to a communication sent to him last Thursday by the city clerk. In his letter the city clerk said: Scranton, Oct 19, 1S09.

Mr. A. A. Vosburg, City Solicitor. Dear Sir: An ordinance providing for the paving of Linden street, from Monroe avenue to Webster avenue, has been returned to this office by the clerk of the common council without the approval of the mayor.

It Is claimed that on account of irregularities that the ordinance is in full force and is operative notwithstanding that it has not received the mayor's approval. It appears that the ordinance passed both councils regularly and was presented to the mayor for his approval on Sept. 15, 1899. The clerk of the common council received a sealed envelope from the mayor on Sept. 28, lS'M.

There was to have been a regular meeting of common council on said date. There was not a quorum present, therefore there was no meeting, and the communication aforesaid was not opened and the council, it appears, was not informed of its contents. At a meeting held Oct. 12, 1899, the said sealed communication was opened. The chair declared it out of order on the ground that it contained a clerical error, not being addressed to the common council.

Later on during the said meeting Mr. M. V. Morris moved, seconded by Mr. Reese, that the mayor's communication, which had been ruled out of order during the earlier part of the meeting, be read.

Mr. Grler claimed that the communication referred to was not addressed to common council and was dated Sept. 28, that it appears the communication had been amended, ana lr so, it snouia ne dated Oct. 12, not Sept. 28.

The communication was read as amended, being a veto of the aforesaid ordinance. Roll was called on the passage of the ordinance, notwithstanding the mayor's veto: Yeas 6, nays 14. I enclose herewith a copy of the ordinance, also the veto referred to. I request you to furnish a written ODinlon. stating whether you con sider '1116 ordinance valid and in force.

Respectfully submitted, M. T. LAVELLE, City Clerk. MR VOSBURG'S OPINION. In reply, City Solicitor Vosburg gave the following opinion: Scranton, Oct.

20, 1809. Mr. Martin T. Lavelle, City Clerk. Dear Sir: Replying to your communi cation of the 39th I would say that the act of assembly governing municipal legislation of this city is that of May 2:1, 1899, section 7, which provides that Every legislative act of the councils shall be by resolution or ordinance, and every ordinance and resolution which shall have passed both branches shall be presented, duly certified, to the mayor ror approval, If he approve, he shall sign the same, but if he shall not approve, he shall re.

turn it, with his objections, to the branch of the councils wherein it originatea, which shall thereupon proceed to recon der it. "Every ordinance or resolution which the mayor shall not return within fifteen days from the date of Its presentation to him. as aforesaid, shall become a law as fully and effectually as if he had approved the same. Under the act of 1S74, It was held In Pennsylvania Globe Gas Light Co. vs, City of Scranton, 07 that If there is no regular meeting of the council be fore the expiration of the fifteen days, the mayor must call one to consider his veto but in the act of 1874 there was a special provision that the mayor, may call spe cial meetings of councils to reconsider ordinances which he does not approve, on one, day's notice to each member of council." No such provision appears in the act of 1889 to which 1 have referred.

On Sept. 28, 1S99, the mayor, returned the ordinance in question (File of com mon council No. 29, 1899.) to the clerk of the common council, without his ap proval, with his objections to the same. There was a regular meeting of the common council fixed for the evening of the same day, but owing to the fact that no quorum was present, of course no ac tion was taken vipon the veto of the mayor. Subsequently a meeting was held, and the veto of the mayor was sus tained.

VETO WAS VALID. From the facts above stated, It appears that the mayor returned the ordinance to the clerk of the proper branch of coun cils, within the period fixed by law, and after It was so returned, within the fif teen days, there was a regular meeting fixed for this branch of the councils. The fact that there would be no quorum, of course, could not have been forseen by the mayor, and in the absence of the pro. vision for the calling of a special meet ing to consider his veto, which Is omitted in the act of 1889, I cannot hold that he was required to do so. I am therefore of the opinion that the veto was valid, and as the councils have not voted to pass the ordinance notwith standing this veto, the ordinance is in valid.

Very truly yours, A. A. VOSBURG, City Solicitor, FELL HEAD FOREMOST Mr, null's Tumble from a riatform In Krensler Court. Mrs. Hall of 717 Kressler court did the family washing yesterday morning.

Between 8 and 0 o'clock she was lhanging out clothes from a platform 15 feet high at the rear of the house. While she was thus engaged the clothesline broke and Mrs. Hall lost balance. She fell to the ground, striking on her head. Her daughter ran to her assistance and helped her into the house.

The doctor was called. Mrs. Hall was found to be suffering from bruises and shock. She went to bed and remained there all the morning and afternoon, but she will probably be around again today. CATCHING UP THE WATER The Spring Hrook fompnny's Large Sew Dam Above MookIc The Spring Brook Water Supply company Is constructing an Immense new dam six and a half miles above Moosic, on Spring Brook, the water of which will be used for Wllkes Barre and vicinity.

There are 125 men employed. The dam will hold 1,250,000,000 gallons. The walls will be S7 feet high, 72 icet tnick at tne bottom. In all there will be 25,000 yards of masonry. I'he company has a quarry two miles from the dam and 450 feet above It, and has built five and a half miles of railroad, upon which the stone from the quarry Is drawn to the dam.

It Is estimated that when completed the dam will have cost This Is only one of a series of Immense dams constructed by this company. POTTSTOWiVS CLAIMS Award tor the Rest Appearing Kuglne In State Firemen' Parade. From the Pottstown News. The Wllkes Barre Record has the following: "Although It Is nearly two weeks since Wllkes Barre won the $50 prize for the best appearing fire engine In the parade at Scranton, the Scranton committee has not yet sent the prize money. The sum Is small, but that is no reason why It should be withheld." It appears to us In Pottstown that there is every reason why the above money should not only be withheld, but why it should not be paid at all to Wllkes Barre.

The money belongs to the Philadelphia Fire company of Pottstown, by whose splendid engine It was justly earned and to whom It was first awarded. The Wilkes Barre engine, while undoubtedly finer than Pottstown's, had not seen an hour's actual fire service, such as Is contemplated by the clause, stipulating that the contesting machines should be in actual service, and, consequently, he executive committee was morally bound to award the prize to the Phillies. That they have not yet paid the money may be an indication that they have, upon sober reflection, decided to act justly In the matter, regardless of foreign influence, which they have doubtless long since recognized as being all "bosch." COUNTRY CLUB. The Golf Tournament which will Be Klu Tomorrow and Last All Week. Exciting Contests.

Yesterday the city assessors finished the work of swearing in their assistants in the various wards. The assessing has been begun and must be finished by December 15 at the latest.

After this work has been done by the ward assessors, the city assessors must review the returns of their assistants and correct any errors which may have been made. This work must be finished and the books given to City Clerk Lavelle by January 1. The work of the assessors has been made much harder than usual this year by the recent opening up of the new plots of land for building purposes throughout the city. These must all be visited and care taken to learn' the owners of the various lots into which these plots have been divided. The various new buildings erected In the city must also be visited and an estimate of the cost made.

As a result of this extra work placed upon the assessors, it is thought that the tax receipts will be much higher next year than they have ever been. Next year, however, is the time set for the reassessment of all city property, when it is expected the total will be much Increased. Iler Object. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
