ports of the Various Officers as
Submitted to the Board Othor
Business Transacted.
The poor board met yesterday after
noon and. no donbt, in oognllanot of
the hard timas, dispensed its bounties
with a somewhat liberal hand. How
ever, the onset that came before the
members were, with a very few excep
tions, worthy of the kindly considera
tion they received. Poverty in tho s
Ireme prevails today in not a few
Sriantou homes, and uonn recognlli it
more quickly than the etllcient mum
bers of the piosent board. Most of
them have had lour txpirllOOt, 'and
while they may err occasionally, yot It
is safe to say that the leaning is gener
ally on tho mercy side
All of the directors were present at
yesterday's nieatin. Tho lirat busi ness
was the reading of the notice of
the reappjlntmtot by court of Mr.
Murphy to a ssnt on the board. Some
what unnecessarily, to au observer, it
would seem, a reorganization of the
board followed as a preliminary to' the
proper iudnetion of Mr. Murphy into
his office, Mr. Gibbous was chosen
temporary chairman and Mr- Lani,'
stuff was temporarily out of the prei
idnncy. He was re-elected without a
dissenting voioe, an act that eeemod
by tacit understanding to bo all the
ceremony uecessary to enable Mr,
Mnrphy to continue a member of the
poor board.
The case of Paschal Convlne, an
Italian whose wife ran away while he
was in the hospital suffering from the
loss of un arm amputated in an exnlo -sion,
was called up by Director Will
iams, who favored grhutiug the sou of
Italy n donation to help him purchase
a band organ with which to grind out
a living. There was some objection,
but finally the sum of $15 was donated
the fellow.

children, received 1 a month for three

Mrs. Patrick Welsh, widow, no

moved that she ha admitted to the
homo. The 111 ition prevail ed mucli to
the indignation of the old lady who
emphatically assured the board that
she "would go to no home."
Mis Anthony Sliergereky, whose
hatband has had a little won: pro
vided by the Associated Charities, nud
Otn ' help from tho poor board besides,
was granted $U on the petition of his
wife This was done against the protest
of Mr. Gibbons who wanted all cpp'.i
cants treated alike.
Ml& Frank Dtvis, a rather gool
looking yonng woman, husband sick,
was the next applicant. Hercise was
referred to Mr. Gibbous, wilh pawsr
to investigate and net.
Mrs. Patrick Eeilly wis, on motion
of Mrs. Swan, nllowed $0 a mootu for
three months. It was a worthy cise.
a DOUBTFUL CASK,
Urf. Annie Christopher, who has
previously been helped, appealed lor
more assistance. This brought Mr.
Williams to bis feet Ha handed a
letter to toerr-.'tsry Lynett, who read
the same. It was from ouo of Mr'.
Christopher's neighbors, nud stated
that the poor board was being imposed
upon. The writer explained that the
Cnristophers bad five lodgers who p;id
them $4 each each evory month, ami
that until lately they had n boarder
who pild $13 ft month. Old man
Christopher was accused of being too
lazy to pick slate, although nhle to do
so, while Mrs. Christopher, the latter
alleged, could drink more beer than a
man, as a cons- tiuence of which the
"growler" was ' awfully rushed," On
motion of Mr. Williams the case was
referred to Mr. Gibbons.

TROUBLE FOR THE ARCHITECTS.
1 hoy Must Furnish Detailed Plana
for Estimates- Important Meet
ing of Builders' Exchange.
At a special masting of the builders'
exchange last night Conrnd Schroeder,
G. W. Finn and H. C. Iliuman were
appoiuted u special committee to con
fer with Scrantou architects and in
duce tbeiu to include details in build
ing plana aud sptulfioatlous, which are
submitted for estimates.
The matter was discussed to a con
siderable extent, and the movement to
solicit the co operation of architects in
reforming prevailing method 1 is sought
to operate to the mutual advantage of
builders aud architects, and remove a
cause of serious misunderstanding.
While some of the city's architects
have complied with past rtqUHtt of
the Builders' exchange, mauy persist
In submittiug only geueral plans tor
estimates which works as much to the
disadvautage of the ownor us to tho
builder. The memliers of the exchange
claim that plans which come from the
larger cities, aud some locai architects
recently from oolleget, contain these
details. Under the circumstances, and
particularly where but two or three
builders are asked for estimate, a gilt
edged contract price is often awarded
simply bscause all bad included iu
estimate a sum to otfset missing details:
but just as often the builders are mis
led aud lose money through tho same
cans.
While nous of those pratent would
admit it, thtre is nn understanding
that if the architects of Serauton do
not furnish details and meet the build
ers 011 11 reasonable ground on thi-i
matter the builders will take radical
steps to protect themselves from these
architects. Just what they will do is
not known, but it would not be sur
prising if they refused to bid on the
plans of such architects.
During the discussions of the even
lug contracts were mentioned where
sums ranging from $30u to $l.,00 were
lost to the boildert simply from the
vagueness of the plans.
Among those present at the meeting
were Conrad Schnc ler. II. C. Hiniuan,
John W. Howartb, C. F. Lord, J, D.
