SOUTH SIDE. At a meeting of the Common Council Monday evening a resolution was adopted instructing the City Engineer to make plan, profile, specifications and estimute of cost for grading Maple street from Cednr aveuue to Washington avenue, and for grading Remington avenue from Maplo streot to Elin Btreet The grading of these two blocks, from Cedar avenuo to Washington, though soom ingiy a big Job, would bo completed in a short time if once bestun, since it consists principally of sandy soil from one end to the other, and when finished would certainly be a boon to all who have occasion to walk to the flats, and especially those driving, being obligod to go around via L. I. C. steel mill or elso down to Elm street which brings a person to the lower flats.

Another thoroughfare which should be opened is Birch street, but that of Muplo struet will suffice for the present.

"FAITH, HOPE AMP CHARITY. MEETING OF THE GRAND LODGE OF THE JR. A. F. A.

THE PARADE WAS CREDITABLE Officers Nominated at the Meeting Held Societies in the Procession Entertainment in Music Hall Address by Chairman Harris The Hop. The day appointed by the Junior American Protestant Association of Pennsylvania for the reception of the National Grand Lodge in this city, was decidedly the most inauspic ious that could have been chosen for the oc casion. At an early hour yesterday morning a heavy and drenching rain began to fall, which continued throughout the entire morning, and the prospects for a grand demon stration by the above order was indeed a gloomy one. Nevertheless cars upon all railroads leading into the city were densely crowded with visitors. In this manner they poured into the city until at noon the princi pal thoroughfares were literally packed.

At half past nine o'clock when nearly all the delegates had arrived, the Grand Lodge assembled at the German Odd Fellows build ing on Lackawanna avenue and held their annual session. The presiding officer was National Grand Master William G. Edmunds aud the following other Grand and acting Grand Lodge officers were present National Vice Grand Master, H. M.

Shortly after noon the sun began to shine and the indications were favorable for a pleasant afternoon. People began to assemble upon the avenues and at once sought convenient points where tney could best view the procession. The cars on all lines were kept very busy conveying passengers to the central part of the city. At two o'clock when the different lodges began to form at their selected corners, the western Bkies became darkened and a fearful gale came up and began to blow the dust in volumes into the eyes of the people upon the avenues and streets, and a severe storm was imminent. Precisely at half past two o'clock when the line of march was completed, rain began to fall and the ardor of the Juniors was dampened, but they horoically trampled through the storm and marched up Lackawanna avenue with rain pelting in their faces and soaking their attractive regalias.

Howevor, they made an excellent display. There wore in line fully one thousand men in bright regalias, and with even military tread. The Carbondale Lodge with sixty four members had the Mozart Band at its head. Mr. Phillip James was tne nag bearer, Mr.

A. 1j. Sahm, a mem ber of this Lodge, was Grand Marshal, with Thomas Campboll, David Thomas and David Richards, as his aids. The Good Samaritans of Pittston, with Mr. John Richardson as Captain, and Evan Evans as assistant, woro the next to follow.

They wore neaueu Dy the (Jornet Band. Messrs. James Austin and John Williams car ried a handsome silk banner, with red and white facings with blue scroll and gold letter lug. This Lodge comprised ninety members. Mr.

Henry Eltrich was drum major. The Plymouth Lodsre, consist ing of ouo hundred and fifty members, had iitty in line, with John Sawe commanding and S. Lewis, D. Evans and Wm. M.

Evans as flag bearers. They were preceded by their accompanying drum corps, the Unions. The next lodge was the Rose of Lackawanna. No. 32, of Jermyn.

and had about thirty members in nue. xneir leaaer was Mr. A. j. jiaker.

The Martin Luther Lodge. No. 22, of Taylor ville, was accompanied by the Taylorville urum uorps. mere were about sixty members of this lodge in line and with their red aud white lettered shirts and glittering axes they looked very attractive. Mr.

W. H. Bus sell was ilug bearor and D. J. Thomas commander.

Then came Keystone Lodgo, No. BO, accompanied by the Junior Drum Corps. This lodge comprised about forty men. Mr. John Oram was their loader, with V.

Owens as flag bearer. Next was the neatest and by far the most handsome and attractive looking lodge of the parado. It was the Enterprise Lodge, No. 21, of tho West Sido. There were 225 men in line, which was the largest number of anv lodge participating.

They were preceded by the Germauia Band and the precision with which they marched under the leadership of Captain John Lewis was creditable to the organization. The Eureka Lodge, of Olyphant, then came with twenty five members in line, accompanied by the Olyphant Brass Band. The next lodge in line was from Wilkes Barre and were attired in flaming red jackets. They were captained by Mr. William Owens.

consisted of thirty one members. The flag bearor was Mr. John G. Davis. Among the attractive features of the parade was the delegation of Philadelphia representatives, consisting of fifteen members of the Grand Lodge contingent.

They wore dressed in light overcoats and wore high silk hats, making an excellent showing, Mr. F. G. H. Wohner commanding.

Tho lodges represented by those were tho Wallence Lodge, William Penn Lodge, Hope Lodge No. 1, and the Past Masters' Club, a bouellcial organization. xne moaia Jjooge, iso. ot Media; In opendonco Lodgo No. 25.

of SJchuvlkill Fulls; Sloan Lodge of Walllugford, also wore represented. The Providenoe Lodgo, No. 8, wore accompaniod by the Citizens' Bund. They had one hundred members in line and were among the many excellently appearing organizations. The last and the latest organized lodgo was the Keystones of the West Sido.

Thoy had one hundred and fifty members and looked well, and as they passed certain points along the avenue they wore greeted with cheers. They wore es corted by tho Thirteenth Begiment Drum Corps. After the procession dispersed the several lodges repaired to Muslo Hall, where thoy amused themselves in the best possible muaner. THE ENTERTAINMENT which was hold at Music Hall in the evening, was well attended. The hall was packed from pit to gallory, and even its side waiting room was well filled.

Several were standing upon the sidewalk outside eager to gain admission. The hull was brilliant and inviting. Upon the platform large and frugrant potted plants aud llag.i encircled the speakers and vocalists of the evening. At precisely eight o'clock J. M.

Harris, the chairman of the entertainment, announced the first number of the programme was "Twilight on the Sea," by a quartette consisting of Mrs. Kate Crossin O'Brlen, Miss Jonnie Harris, Mr. Daniel E. Davis and Mr. John T.

Watkins. Their singing was excellent, their voices blending In perfect harmony. They were woll applauded. Chairman J. M.

Harris, then delivered an eloquent address upon the "lielation ot the Jr. A. P. A. to its membors and to the Public." It was delivered In loud and forcible tones, aud 1 was interesting aud instructive throughout.

Following is a briet synopsis After a lew introductory remarks he said "The privilege given to the citizens of the Bepubliq to organize themselves for the purpose of mutual encouragement and support amidst the struggles of life, forcibly and impressively illustrates the blessings of a true people. The law never disturbs the progress of these benevolent associations so long as the aim of their establishment is founded on honest purposes; so long as their teachings and precepts tend to make the members and adhorents of the particular association better men and better citizens. The constitution demands strict obedience of its general provisions, but the management of the local and subordinate affairs of the association are allowed to use their judgment The large number of these benevolent associations exist in every State and Territory of the Union as a strong argument in their favor. Now what may be their purpose? First Thoy bind men together by the pledges ot common brotherhood. They unite their members East and West by the bands of charity and love.

As the railroad and the telegraph have served oommeroe by making distance wait on demand, so these benevolent association have ottenniade the acquaintance of an hour serve the friendship of a lifetime. Second They have proved themselves to be great educators, more than colleges, more than schools, more than books. Man is after all the most effective teacher of his follow ruen. The precepts of parents, he remarked, were the examines set by associates, the manners, the home talk, the passing interview, in a word, the spirit that and abounds the whole atmosphere of Hie. God has wisely decreed that men should be brought together for the purpose of sooial and intellectual improvement.

These organizations then oertainly, he said, perforin a noble office. How many a young man has made his first feeble effort has lisped his first pub lio utterance between the walls of these noble rrders, who in after life has gained distinction as an effective speaker and has been pleased to traoe the secret of his success to the education and training had in early life in one or the other of these institutions. Third They are charitable. Charity in word and deed constitutes their life giving principles. Their charity satisfies the craving demands of distress and drives poverty from the door of misfortune.

Charity mitigates the widows' grief and softens the intensity of the mother's sorrow. He said those were briefly some of the most salient features and objects of benevolent associations and in the rank and file of institutions whose aim and principles are so noble and high in moral and one purpose the Jr. A. P. A.

would respectfully ask to be recognized. He said that yesterday was their annual greeting and the occasion was to extend to their brother representatives the various lodges from different parts of the State an earnest and hearty welcome Welcome is a genuine old English word, he said, and they are proud of it. Ho said you may have seen it wrought in evergreens and flowers, arching on occasions of pomp and splendor, and probably have heard it pronounced by the yisitor in glowing terms; seen it gleam like a ray of sunshine from the moistened eye of the mother as she greets her wandering, wayward son home again. We did not use the good old word this evening because it is fashionable to do so on such occasions, but pronounce it because we moan just what we say. The SDeaker then concluded by stating tnat it was well to sav that the visitors would en joy their first visit to the Electric City, aud certainlv eniov the excellent programme, and also the fascinations of tho danoe with our Soranton eirls.

At the conclusion ot his able aoaress mr. J. X. Watkins sang a solo, "The Kaft," in his usual happy style, which won tempestuous apDlause. "Punchinello," a solo by miss Jennie Har ris, wbo is ever always a favorite, was a com mendable enort and was duly appreciated.

The next was a duett by Mrs. Kate Crossin OBnon and Miss Jennie Harris. It was wen received and the manner in which it was sung brought forth additional praise for these excellent singers. One of the instrumental numbers of tho ex ercises was a violin solo by Prof. Frederick Kopff.

Prof. Kopff has been often heard in this city, but never did he handle the violin and bow with more charming effect than last evening. Miss Lizzie Hugnos, a noted vocausc, tnen sang "Waiting." Miss Hughes is the pos sessor of a flexiblo and sweet voice and gave it full swav. The difficult and high notes of her song were reached with marked ease. She received ringing applause.

Hrs.Httto crossin O'Brien. Miss Jennie Harris. Mr. iioweii is. Davis and John T.

Watkins then appeared and again delighted the audience by singing Oh 1 the Baa Moment oi iartiug in line stvle. Prof. Thomas Milos.the cornetist of Bauer's band, afterwards gave a cornet solo, "Grand Fantasia Elexis." His manipulation of the kevs of his silver cornet and the sweet notes which he poured forth were in Seed gratify ing as well as pleasing, no was wen ap Dlauded for his srjlendid claying. The only recitation of the evening was "The First Settler's Story, by Miss u. Harrit Miss Harris was as usual in her ele ment and held her audience spell bound by her excellent interpretation of the selection, which was very pathetic in itself.

She was also aDnlauded. "Shipwreck," a bass solo, was tnen sung Dy Mr. Moses B. Morgans in a rich bass voice, which was appreciated by his hearers, as was indicated by tne appiauso. The entertainment was then brought to a close by a selection by the quartette, in whicn Mr.

Daniel E. Davis sang tne leading soio part, accompaniod by Mrs. Kate.Crossin O'Brien. Miss Jonnie Harris and J. T.

Wat kins. The accompanists of the occasion were Prof. Hayden Evans, Miss Florence Bich mond and Miss Mamie Mills, and all deserve praise for their efficient eervioes. At the conclusion of the entertainment the orchestral chairs were removed and tho floor was cleared in readiness for the hop which concluded the day's demonstrations. During the progress of the hop ice cream and refreshments were served by a bevy of charming waitresses from J.

D. Williams' confectionery establishment. Tho floor at tho commencement was filled to overflowing, thus causing much incouvonience for the merry dancers. Musio was furnished by Prof. Bauer's full orchestra whose melodious strains awakened renewed life and activity on the part of those in attendance.

The mas tor of ceremonies was Mr. T. J. Beynolds floor managers were Messrs. Del.

Berry, Abe Sahm, J. B. Lewis, O.M.lloynolds; prompter, Frank Suydam. In this enjoyable mannorthe Juniors enjoyed themselves to their hearts content until a late hour. TWO CANDIDATES.

Dunning for County Surveyor. The Laokawanna county Democrats held their convention at the Arbitration room in the court house yesterday, and as predicted in The Bepobmcan, Dr. John 0 Mailer was nominated for Coronor. He did not make it as easily as it was thought that he would, however, and but for the rattling nominating speech of Mr. F.

J. Fitzsimmons, he may have been defeated by Dr. Saltry. The latter developed unexpected strength, and at one time his success seemed assured. It was a very trying moment for Dr.

O'Malley's lieutenants, but at the last minute they managed to get together a sufficient number of votes to carry off the prize. It was evidently tho poiioy of Dr. Saltry's friends to make a still hunt, and it came within a hair of accomplishing what was intended. The convention was rather a tame affair for a Democratic convention, and but for a breezy passage at arms between Delegates Davitt and McAndrews, would have been dull and uninteresting. Dr.

O'Malley strolled about tbe corridor directing his friends, and he wasaocompanied by quite a large party of sympathizers. Inside tbe meeting room was gathered a number of weli known Democrats. A. Dunning, L. N.

Thompson would not have it and nominated Frank J. Fitzsimmons. Some one else nominated P. W. Murphy and as Mr.

Fitzsimmons withdrew in the hitter's favor, he was elected by acclamation. Then came the election of a secretary. William Morris nominated Neil McTaguo, but he was objected to on the ground that ho was not a delegate. Morris and C. C.

Donovan were then nomiuntod. Mr. Donovan, who is the alderman of the Twelfth ward, was objocted to by P. J. Moran, who is the constable of tho samo ward, on the ground that his district was not entitled to two delegates and upon that he was ruled out of order.

Mr. Morris was elected secretary by acclamation. The chairman asked if thoro were any contested seats and William McAndrew of the First district of the Socond ward announced that he contested the seat of William Davitt. The question was then asked whethor or not two sots of credentials had been presented. Mr.

MoAndrew gained the floor and declared that he had had credentials, but they hud boon borrowed by Davitt, who had cooly destroyed them. This produced a roar of laughter and tne chair was upon the point of ruling McAndrew out of order when M. F. Corcoran arose and 'said that he bad seen McAndrews' credentials and thoy had been taken from him by soiuo hook or crook. Davitt unintentionally admitted that McAndrews had credentials by asking who wrotq them for him.

"Who wrote yours?" criod McAndrews, springing to his feet. "Tho Vigilance Committee of the district," shoutod Davitt. "That is not truo," yollod McAndrews, "He wrote them hlmsolf.andlsawhim do it." Thore was another shout of laughtor, and before It had died out F. J. Fitzsimmons, was moving that each contestant be allowed a seat.

This was put and carried, while Davitt was upon tho floor fuming and smacking his hands together and protesting that the chairman was not doing the square thing. The chair directed Duvitt to tuke his scat, but ho would not until he had concluded his speech, which was more demonstrative than eloquont. J. C. Moran, F.

J. Fitzsimmons, C. C. Donovan, Morris Duggan and Thomas Bilbow wore appointed a Committee on Bosolutious, and as there seemod to be no one present with a plutform ready written out in his pockot, they retired to deliberate. While they were out tho convention proceeded to select anothor secretary.

I'rof. Lovern was nominatodbut doolinod, saying that he haJ forgotten to bring his spectacles with him. After several others had douiiuod J. N. Graves was chosen.

F. M. vandling stated that at the last Slate Democratic convention a now set of rules had been adopted, which he now offered far approval. The rules were read and, as they wore thought good enough, they were accepted. M.

J. Lovern and Thomas Bilbow were elected tollers, and then the report of the Committee on Besolutions was road by J. C. Moran. The resolutions were in the peouliar and unmistakoable handwriting of City Solioltor Burns, and as Mr.

Moran bad considerable difficulty in deciphering them, before he hud gotten half through them, some one sar oastloally moved that they be received and adopted. They wore as follows: Hemlvtd; That tho Democracy of Lackawanna affirm the principles of tho party laid down in tbe platform adopted by the Democratic State Convention. That wo condemn tho policy of tho national administration la seeking to continue burden Bomo war taxos not nnoded for wise and economical admlniBtratlonof government. Wocondomu tho action of President Harri son In appointing lloi jmral Tanner, bocuuso he was not'llt to hold the office. Wo also condemn bis action Id removing him, bocause it wus done la the Interest of tha Xtepublican party.

We sympathize with the taxpayers of Lackawanna in having to boar the enormous expense of contested elections instituted and carried on not for the public good, but lor the purpose ot keeping in ofiico Republican office holders who were not elected. We also condomn as partisan leprislatlon the provision In the act of 1HS0 which keeps former incumbents in office ponding a contest during the present year. We hoartily sympathize with the laboring men of this valley and the whole country, and believe that in their interest tariff taxes should be taken off of raw materials that enter into manufactures. That we cordially approve the action of our representatives at flarrisburg in supporting legislation in the interest of laboring men. That we heartily endorse the nomination of the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer and urge the importance of polling for him every Democratic vote in Lackawanna.

Nominations for Coroner were then declared in order, and Mr. Fitzsimmons was the first to secure floor. He began by saying that it was his privilege three years before to present a candidate from the Eighth ward who was triumphantly elected Coroner by the people. To day ho again had the pleasure of nominating a candidate from that Ward, and he was a physician of deserved popularity, recognized ability and undoubted integrity, who is abreast with the best thoughts and ethics of his profession. He named Dr.

John O'Malley. and after he had paid his record as a health officer a compliment he sat down, it was a speech woll calculated to catch tho fancy of a convention, and it was greeted with cheers and clapping of hands. Then there was silonce for half a minute and some one movod that the nominations close. Before the motion could be put Owen Barrett, of the Seventh ward, had gained the floor aud in a woak voice nominated Dr. J.

F. Saltry. A vote was at once taken. Dr. O'Malloy won by the following O'Malley SO Saltry 26 There was a subdued cheer and delegates began to file from the room.

Secretary Morris callod out to them that there was yet a County Surveyor to nominate and some of them came back, P. M. Walsh was nominated and later A. B. Sherwood.

Then a delegate, whose name was lost in the confusion resulting from the break ior thocorridor, by the majority of those present, nominated A. B. Dunning, and made a strong plea for him, saying that an American was needed upon tho ticket, and he was one; also that his father had done great service for the party, aud his son was entitled to recognition. The name of P. M.

Walsh was withdrawn, but that of Mr. Sherwood was not until the dolegato who nominated him was button holed by Mr. Fitzsimmons. Then he gave in and Mr. Dunning was nominated by acclamation.
