wuh tu wo 11 known ueueroaity ami
public spirit of Serin tou people, thnt
the Lackawanna honpit tl is compelled
to refuse to succor many patieuts who
might be brought there for treatment.
Neither does it sem conslHtuut with
the wealth of the oitv thut a mucii
needed addition to this commendable
institution cannot be built. Tbvsti

to cure for its maimed and ailing as
ll'irrisl'Urg, Lancaster, Altoona and
revcru! other cities smaller than our.
The Mos Taylor hospital cunuot be
exuuidered in treating cf this article
which imrtaius to its eisti-r iustittition,
from the fact ?hat it is of a stuni-nriv
ate charactur, and, though fret1, wait
!uilt to reai'ivtj only tie Dolaware,
Ltckawanua and Western and Lacka
wanna Iron and Sieel companies' em
ployes. t ifty-hve pntitmts is the limit estab
lished tor the Lackawanna hospital by
the State Board of Cbaritie?, for'niedi
cal us well us luecbuuical ieasnns, vet
during many a wee!: it has contained
sixty injured and sick, and on several
occasions bis received cuses and placed
them on mattresses on the floor. Such
a state of alliira miu'ut be expected in
time of war, riot or some unforeseen
disaster, but not aaJer normal couth'
.ions.
IS CASE OF AS EMERGENCY.
In this connection it wonld be a most
pertinent question to ask what would
be done with fifty, thirty, or evoo
twenty persons tujured in a railroad
accident or n mine catastrophe? Scran
ton with 100,000 population wonld be
compelled to nvn.I the lesser injured to
neighboring cities or shelter and treat
tbem in an improvised manner.
Three years ago the li:ilatare'
ppscial appropriation of $ 23 000 to the
Lackawanna hospital was vetoed by
the governor became the state
board of charities failed te recommend
It. The board contended that many
demands of that nature were being
made, that the state could not afford
to make the appropriation nnless citi
zens of the demanding cities showed a
disposition to raise a portion of the
fund desired. Inquiry made at that
time proved that cities smaller than
Scranton were more extensively
equipped, and this fact is trner today
man it was three years ago with a pop
ulation smaller by 10.000 souls.
Each year the hospital receives $10,
000 annually appropriated by the state,
$300 from the Delaware and Hudson
Canal company, $1,003 from the com
bined subscriptions of several coal
companies, $3,000 worth of linen, fruit,
vegetables and supplies, and a further
sum of combined cash subscription"
from individuals to met the yearly
expenditure of about $18,000, wbiob in
eludes repairs. The state appropriation
is made exclusively for maintenance.
Thirteen nurses, a superintendent, two
surgeons, a surgeons' assistant and the
corps of utility men and women areen
gaged at the institution.
No complaint das been made of the
treatment aceorded patients, but it is
a fact that many are discharged to
make room for new and nrgeut c8
when the released ones are not suffi
ciently well. Patients discharged un
der these conditions do not regain nor
mal health as quickly as they would if
retained for a longer period. It is sim
ply a proposition of choosing the lesser
of two evils.
WHAT BOARD OF CHARITIES WILL DO.
The State Board of Charities is cog
nizant of the fact that the Laokawanna
hospital is maintained at compara
tively less expense than any similar in
titation in the commonwealth, conse'
quently tbey are willing to make a
speoial appropriation for an addition
to the present palpably lnad quale
structure, provided a fnnd of reason
able amount is raised in the city. As
mentioned above, the state board is
called npon to reoommend a great
many speeial Appropriations and the
strength of their position, in that "the
Lord helps those who helps tliem
selves'csnnot be gainsaid.
The directors of the hospital will
next week hold their July meeting and
no doubt the question of ereeting an
addition along the north side of the
main entrance extending toward the
alley will be discunsod. Many of these
gentlemen have from time to time
made np the difference between re
ceipts and expenditures, and in that
case it does not seem just that the
wealth of this large city should be re
talned or directed in various semi-charitable
ohannol while the sick and
maimed are being turned away from
the Lackawanna liO'pital or being pre
maturely dischargeJ to make room for
fellow sufferers.

FIRE ON LACKAWANNA AVENUE.
Chief of 'the Fire Department Ferbor
Believes It Was of Incen
diary Origin.
When the fire alarm sounded from
box 15, locatod at the corner of L'lCka
waiiiia and l'ouu uvemies, at 8 25 last
tiUht the streets brc-iinn densely
crowded with people and the throng
grow until at least 5,000 persons gath
ered around.
A few minutes after the alarm
sounded smoke was seen to pour from
the roof of tho building oconplod on
the ground floor by the Siiranron
Clothing company, on the soconl ibor
by tho Horton Publishing company
and on the top story by the printing
establishment of Nicholas Keifer. Mr.
Keller's shop occupies the entire floor
without partitions. This is whore the
fir broke out.
In tho rear of the room there is a
wooden tube running from tue floor to
the roof. Through this tube the tela
phoua wires formerly entered the
building from the dome on the outsMp.
A large sizd dry goods box packed
with waste paper stood alougside the
tube, and it whs in the box that the
hre started.
The 11 lines soon burst through, the
wooden tubing aud crept through the
roof. The burning paper was what
c.uisd the voIuuub ot smoke to issue
forth.
The Crystals, Nay-Augs, Phenixs
and Hook aud Ladders responded
promptly and a line of hose was
brought up the stairway and turned on
the tire, extinguishing it in ten min
utes. The damage to the building will
not go above $100. It is ow..ed by
Hotel keeper 1 red Durr and was in
sured in the agency of C. 11. Shadt &
Jiro.
The room where the fire originated
has been locked np for two or three
weeks and there was no fire In it wbleb
would cause the blaze. Mr. Keifer's
stock of printing equipments, the dy
namo, two presses and several cases .of
type were not damaged at all. The
water did practically no damage to the
other tenants.
Chief F. rber, with whom a Tribune
reporter examined the room after the
tire was put out. In positive terms
stated tbat the affair bad all the ap
pearancss of lnceuuiary origin,
SHE SPOKE ONLV IRISH.
Misfortune of a Woman All the Way
from the Giant's Caue.way.
Police officers brought to the station
house early yesterday morning a young
woman who was acting in an hysterical
manner at the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western station. It was judged
tbat she was insane and. being unable
to speak anything but Irish, she was
unable to make the cause of her frantio
actions known to the police.
Mrs. Duggan was informed of the
matter and with the aid ot a sister
from St. Joseph's homo, who was con
vorsant with Gaelic, the woman's story
was learned.
She stated that her name was Maggie
Coyne, that her age was 20 years and
tbat her borne was on an Ulind In li il
way, near the Giant s Causeway. She
has a cousin in Pittsburg, who paid
ber passage to this country, aud was
on her way thither when she was put
off the train at Scranton because her
ticket was good only as far as here.
She wag traveling with a numter of
her conntrypeople aud when she was
forced to separate herself from them
she became frautlo with grief. S.ie had
no money and b-iug without friends
and in a strange land at midnight it is
not remarkable tbat she was grief
stricken.
Mrs. Duggan intereeded for the
woman before the poor board and se
cured money to send ber to her friends
in Pittsbnrg.

THE POSSIULE WISNHrtS.
From the fact that the tips furnished
The Tuimjnb last woek by "Centaur"
were correct, excepting in one race,
the following selected one, two nud
three borate for today may bo expected
o hmsh very nearly as named;
First raco
1. George Maddocks.
2. Harry B.
3. Uucle Dan.
Second race
1. Magnolia,
S. Net.
3. Blow.
Third race
1. Jack and John.
3. Jim Mears and Johnny.
Fourth race
1. Keeley.
3. Windsor Boy,
3. Fanny Blair.
Magnolia, notwithstanding her dis
appointing performances in previous
races, is selected to win the 2 42 event
on form as well as quality. She is a
delicate mare to handle, but if prop
erly conditioned and driveu should have
no trouble in coming in a winner.
Ine double team race is the most un
certain on the card. Mr. Crawford's
Sam H ill and John can do a quarter
on asphalt with fonr in a top o irriago
iu .43, but they have not had the train
ing or experience of Dr. Uiil.'s rang 'y
bays, consequently the latter are given
preference. While Mollie and Thief
are not to be despised, t hoy appear to
he in too rapid company. If Charley
Hill's Jim Mears and diaries Sohadl's
Johnny are driven by Mr. Hill Centaur
will give them preference for second
place.
1 he J:00 class may develop the pret
tiest contest of the Benson. Both John
Kemmerer and George Hnllstead have
sometbinv up their sleeves iu Windsor
uoy aud fteley. it looks like a sure
tning for Keeley, as the horse is said
to reel off "a mile in 2:40 withou'
trouble, but absolutely nolhii g is
known of Windsor Boy beyond the
smile of Mr. K uimerer when the bom
is mentioned aud tho smile is omin
ous. Magnolia will be sold at the track
next Saturday to the highest bidder.
