They arrived in the city at about 10 o'clock and instead of at once repairing to Nay Aug Falls scattered about the city until the storm had passed. Then they either repaired to Scranton's picturesque pleasure resort or began visiting Important points about the city. Many secured carriages and were diven about town but the majority of the pleasure seekers preferred the fine open cars on the electric lines.
At the Falls, Mr. Beemer has just completed a handsome dancing pavilion, There were already an ice cream, banana and soft drink stand, and a merry-go-round. Daneing did not commence until the afternoon when Robert Bauer arrived with his famous orchestra. Then merriment ran high until evening when for an hour or SO the dancing ceased, only to be resumed again at about 7:30, and to be continued until a late hour. A number of the excursionists joined in the dancing but the majority of merrymakers upon the pavilion were Scranton people who took advantage of the afternoon for a little sport.
Those who tired of dancing and music roamed about the woods and enjoyed the falls and rocks. In the evening the people from Binghamton returned home. They were a good appearing, well behaved lot and will be cordially welcomed to Scranton whenever they appear here. -McGarrah's Insect Powder will kill Roaches, Flies, Bed Bugs and all insects.

THE SELECT COUNCIL. House for Columbia Hose Company- Ordinances on Third Reading. Chairman Kellow presided at the regular meeting of the Select Council last evening and there were thirteen members present. Mr. May from the Street and Bridge committee reported with a favorable recommendation the resolution declaring it to be the intention of the city to pave North Mainavenue.
Mr. Thomas asked that action upon this matter be postponed for a while as certain preliminaries will have to be gone through with before the property owners can lay the pave. Action upon the resolution was accordingly postponed. Bills as follows from the Common Council were approved Wade M. Finn, Wade M.

The resolution authorizing the special committee on electric lighting to have their report printed was approved. The resolution directing the City Clerk to advertise for proposals for furnishing a house for Columbia Hose Company, brought Mr. Thomas to his feet, who said that during the last week his attention had been called to the Andrew Schoen property on Jackson-street, which narrows that thoroughfare. He thought that it would be a good idea to purchase this building, move it back to the fine, and make of it a station house and quarters for Columbia Hose Company. Mr.
Christmas said that while he agreed with Mr. Thomas that the Schoen property should be purchased by the city, it should not bo for a house for Columbia Hose Company, which is now a half mile away, but for Franklin Hose Company. Mr. Dale said that the distance from the present quarters of the Columbia Hose Co. to the Schoen property is not half a mile and it is not desirable to purchase the property for the Franklin company as that compuny claims to own a property in the vicinity.
The resolution was finully referred to the proper committee.

Campbell on Lee-alley sewer was adopted, as was the resolution directing the Building Committee to define what a bay window is. The resolution providing for grading Hatstead-alley from Linden-street to Mulberrystreet with cobble stones called forth a protest from Mr. Dale, who did not believe in cobble stones but he did not press his objections and the resolution passed. The resolution forbidding the Delaware and Hudson Company to connect with the Lackawanna-avenue bridge unless it rebuiids the last span called forth a protest from Mr. Mattes and Mr.
Kellow, who thought it absurd and said that it looked. as if the council WAS trying to bulldoze the company into building the bridge. The measure was referred to the Street and Bridge Committee. The resolution Common for plans Council and amendment estimates for to the Linden-street bridge was adopted. The resolution directing the City Clerk to advertise for sealed proposals for the completion of the municipal building was approved.

A Sketch of His Long and Busy Life-His Family. Dr. J. W. Gibbs, mention of whose death was made in yesterday's issue of THE REPUBLICAN, expired at his home on South Main-avenue at 11 o'clock Wednesday night after a periodical illness of four years, He was one of the oldest physicians of Seranton.
He was born at Jefferson, a village not far from Newark, New Jersey, on October 10, 1823, being, therefore, nearly 66 years of age. In 1846 he wedded Euphema, daughter of William Patton, a well-known banker of Philadelphia. After several years in the Pennsylvania Medical College in Philadelphia, he graduated with high honors. early life was spent in Sohuylkill county, where he acquired large number warm friends. In 1856 he made a visit with his family to the South spending the winter at rno next year he returned North and settled on' the West Side, where he afterwards resided and obtained a very lucrative practice in medicine and surgery, During the rebellion he was elected coroner of Luzerne, fllling the office very creditably.
In the spring of 1870, in order to release himself from his wide and exacting practice, he made a tour of Europe, returning to his labors much invigorated and refreshed In mind and body. He was elected member of the medical staff of the Lackawanna Hospital in 1879. In due appreciation of his efficient services upon the staff he was re-elected for another year. At its inception he was made Treasurer of the Lackawanna Medical Society, to which position he was re-elected at the last election. Deceased comes from a family which was singularly devoted to the science and practice of medicine.
His father was a clergyman of the Baptist denomination, having afterwards graduated in medicine. Three of his brothers were physicians, as are also two of his SODA. The elder, Dr. J. Harry Gibbs, is a resident of this elty, located on South Main avenue, and enjoys a large practice.
Another son is W. Saint Clair Gibba, a former student of medicine at Philadelphia and at one time proprietor of the Star drug store. He WAS for a number of years a physician in this city but finally went to Forest City where he now is. Robert Pattan Gibbs, a third son prepared tor college at Keystone Academy, Factoryville, proposing at that time to enter Columbia College. -After remaining in school for a time he adopted a stage career, travelling with renowned actors and and M'lle am Rhea.
He has been enjoying actresses, among whom were Minnie Palmer his vacation since the close of the operatic season in this city and was present at his father's death. Five years ago deceased took as his second wife Miss Lizzie Nicholas, daughter of Mr. Jenkin Nicholas, Washburn-street. The doctor was one of the best known medical men of this city, enjoying a large practice. Notwithstand this, he was very liberal and did not accumulate a large fortune.
The immediate cause of death was carcimona of the kidneys Some time ago he went to consult with and undergo treatment by specialists of Philadelphia, but both proved ineffectual. On April 15, last, the famous Dr. McBurrey, of Roosevalt Hospital, New York, came to his home and performed an operation which prolonged his life, but the nature of the malady was fatal, and 110 human skill could avail. He was a patient sufferer, bearing up wonderfully well until the last. The news of the death of this old and respected citizen will be received with profound regret by his numerous friends.
The funeral will be held to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. MINISTERIAL VACATIONS. Where Seranton Clergymen Rest and Spend the Summer Months. Rev. Dr.
