THE SCBANTOX TRIBUNE TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 16. 1894. 10 FILL A LONGFELT WANT Tlace Where. Local Securities Caa Be Bought and Sold. BOARD OP TRADE'S EXCHANGE W. TV. Watson, W, H. Peek and C. D. Simpson the Special Investigating Committee Many Firms Knocking at the Door-Several May Enter. The idea of establishing a local secur ity exchange in connection with the board of trade was discussed at last night's meeting of the board. The pro ject was received with Interest, created nome discussion and was finally re ferred to' a special committee. The subject was introduced by Secretary Atherton at the suggestion of several members. It is proposed to extend the buying or selling privileges to the public generally, board members to be relieved of any commission, but non-members to be charged the usual brokerage. President May's opinion was that the matter is one of the most important ever considered by the board. To nego tiate margin deals or become a medium of speculation, he said, is not the object in view. Mr. Atherton moved that the matter be referred to a speciul committee, which was announced as follows: At torney W. W. Watson, V. H. Peck, cashier of the Third National bank, and C. D. Simpson. Want to Come to Scrunton. The report of the manufacturers' com mittee was adopted as follows: The following concerns have applied to us and have expressed a strong de Bire to locate their plants In this city owing to the many natural advantages we .have to offer them: T. W. Wheat ley, WIlkes-Barre; electric non-conductor; A. L. Thomas, New York., crucker and fancy backery; W. M. Whitney company, Courtland, N. Y.,wagon man ufacturers; R. & H. Adams, Patterson, N. J., silk manufacturers; Augusta Silk works, Patterson, N. J., silk manufac turers; J. H. & D. Lake company, Mas pillon, O.,' friction clutch pullies; Clay ton Lawrence, Reading, Pa., manufac turer of onyx tables; Holland Kadiatur company, Breme, Ind., radiators; J. R. White, Philadelphia, tapestries and car pets. "After investigation by your commit tee and considerable correspondence by our secretary we find it will be useless to give the application further consid eration, and therefore recommend that they be ordered filed without further ac tion by this board. "As to the Magee Tapestry Carpet plant and the Eureka Cash and Regis ter company, we beg to report progress with a reasonable assurance that one or both of them will ultimately be es tablished in Scranton. There are sev eral other matters pending on which we will report at a later meeting. "The large number of applications be ing received is a sure Indication that our city is becoming known as a most favorable place for manufacturing and that our efforts during the present year in the way of advertising are bearing fruit that will ultimately be the means of bringing many desirable industries to this city. LUTHER KELLER, chairman." The Consolidation Project. A special committee appointed to con sider the advisability of consolidating various minor boards of trade of the city and Dunmore reported to this effect : That in case the chairman Is in formed, the so-called boards of trade of other sections of the city have ap pointed Blmilar committees, a Joint meeting will be held ; otherwise the com mittee asked to be discharged. The re port was signed by J. A. Lansing, J. H. Torrey and H. E. Paine. Mr. Lansing stated that since filing the report, the tfcpoi West and South. Side boards nau ap- ilnted BDeclal consolidation commit tees. The committee was continued. J. W. Oakford was elected to mem bership, the membership of T. II. Watts was transferred to H. C. McKenzle, and the application of E. H. Davis and J. R. Schlager, recommended by the secre tary, were received. CITY'S GOOD HEALTH. Inrmlng Rumors and Official Health lie ports Do Not Harmonize. Only seventeen deaths from all causes were reported to the board of health last week. This is the smallest num ber reported for any similar period wince the early summer and the figures bear out last week's report of Health OHlcer Allen that the general health of the city is better than for four years. Other figures in last week's report do not harmonize with a prevailing sup position that contagious diseases, par ticularly typhoid, are prevalent Last week one death resulted from diptheria, one from typhoid and four from con sumption; there were two new cases of diptheria, one of typhoid and two of scarlet fever. No information has been received that typhoid has become epi demic at Elmhurst. This fact. In con nection with the figures given above and the satisfactory analysis of ' the city's drinking waters, should reassure many persons who have been unduly alarmed. . BANNER PRESENTATION. Sunday School of Green Kidgo Baptist ' ' Church Becomes the Owner. Sunday afternoon a banner was pre sented to the Oreen Ridge BaptlBt church. Henry Davles, of Capouse avenue, who Is a great advocate of Sun day schools, has for some time been working quietly, and yesterday sur prised the scholars and teachers by un furling a magnificently-worked banner mid presented it to the Sunday school as the gift of himself and a few friends.

Dr. Helllngs, of Omaha, Neb., delivered an excellent address. Rev. M. J. Watkins read a paper on "liehold the Man! or, A Plea for the Larger Freedom of Man." The pa;i"r Bhowed careful preparation and dealt with several phases of Roman Catholic ism, the saloon and secret societies, and argued that tho true American nplrlt should be emphasized.

"The Limited Mall," Elmer K A ance's realistic railroad comedy drama, which comes to the Academy of Mus c this evening for one night only, is a well conceived melodrama with a remark able series of exciting and decidedly thrilling situations. It deals with rail roads and railroad people. It contains telegraphers, tramps, section men and train wreckers. There are clicking tele graph instruments, realistic engines, palatial Pullmans and railway pos tal cars, tracks, hand-cars, switches and tunnels, and the railroad Is utilized on the stage as it has never been before, for the author was a telegraph operator and train despatcher at Columbus, O., for years, and his leisure time was not devoted to loafing or dissipation,, nor to empty observations about the depot; but he saw the "limited malls" come and go dally and nightly, and he hus given them their orders. II II II Tomorrow night Bartley Cambell's play, "The Galley Slave," will be given at the Academy of Music. Many promi nent artists of today mnde their first hit in "The Galley Slave," among them James O'Neil, of "Monte Christo" fame, Frederick DeBelvllle and Jeffreys Lewis. The success of the play In this country led the author to secure its presentation in London, where a run of 350 nights at the Princess theater was made. Wilson Barrett at that time played the leading role. In ten years "The Galley Slave" amassed the for tune of $250,000, and was withdrawn from the road at the time of the author's death, owing to difficulties which arose regarding the rights of the play. These iliiliculties have been settled and the play is now touring the principal cities under the direction of the playwright's sons, Robert and John S. Campbell. II II II For the production of "Old Glory" at the Academy of Music next Thursday evening. Manager Brady has engaged a cast of talented actors and actresses, nearly all of whom are metropolitan favorites. George C. Stanley, who will play the part of governor of a Chilian province, Is a well known star; James Home, who portrays the hero, was with the "Soudan" last season as the leading ing man; Daniel Jarrett, the unscrupu lous villain, was with Daniel Froh man's "Lost Paradise" company; John Coleman, the leading comedian, Is fav orably known in that capacity; Miss Louise Montrose, the soubrette, was prominent In last season's production of the "Black Crook," and others of the cast have risen to merited distinction in various roles. II II II "The New Ole Oleson" will be pre sented at the Academy of Music Fri day and Saturday evenings. Mr. Heege, the author, has completely re-written this popular Swedish comedy and has strengthened It in various ways. It has enjoyed a wonderful careerof prosperity and now that It Is freshened and revised, it will doubtless continue its successful career. The company is the strongest that has ever appeared in the play and embraces some of the best farce-comedy talent in the business. Many clever specialties are Introduced. Some new and startling surprises in a farce-comedy line are announced and the engage ment is looked forward to with pleas ure by lovers of farce-comedies in this city. 11 11 11 , Tomorrow night the New York Celebrities will give a concert at the Frothingham. The celebrities consist of Miss Luta Van Cortlandt, soprano of the American Opera company; Miss Alice Gertrude Cudy, the gifted plan lste; Mons. Orme Darvall, the world renowned basso cantate, formerly of the French Opera, New Orleans; Herr Oscar Hentschel, the celebrated Roehm flute virtuoso, formerly of the Boston Quintette club. These artists have been before the public for some time, and have been heard in many parts of the United States as well as in foreign countries. The programme which the New York Celebrities will present will be varied and Interesting, and in accordance with the demands of the general taste of the music public. , THE C. E. CONVENTION. Scranton Will Be He presented at York This Week.

Great success Is attending the efforts to pump the water out of the Hallstead mine, which was Hooded on Sept. 21, Owing to the unceasing operations of last week No. 2 crew is now practically free from water, and efforts are being mude in No. 1 vein. The Worthlngton pump, the largest working, will be removed to this vein and as only a few feet of rock divides the two veins, an opening will be made to lower the pump into the lower vein. There is still a considerable flow of water, but the pumping more than counteracts It. IT IS VERY POPULAR. j The Power of tho Press Greeted by a Large ' Audience at Academy of Music. A crowded house greeted "The Power of the Press" at the Academy of Music last night, proving that good melo drama Is appreciated by the theater goers of this city. The company that produced "The Power of the Press" last night brought out the strong points In that moral teaching play, and the climaxes were greeted with thunders of applause. There is no doubt of the popularity of "The Power of the Press" In this city. CLUCK CLAIMS THE COWS. They Were Seized as tho Property of M. Katotisoch. Joseph Cluck, of Carbondalo,' began proceedings yesterday to recover farm stock owned by him, which he savs was levied on by Marvin J. Pierce, "as the property of W. Katousoch.

MANY REMINDERS Of HOME Wllkcs-Barre and Scrunton Aro A . most as Well Known to Welshmen as Cardiff or Swunsea-Miss Knisci's Vsual Bright Letter. Special to the Scranton Tribune. uti Llanelly, Wales, Oct. 2. Wight before last we favored the peo ple of Pon-y-Pridd with another con cert. The audience was a good one, and the town hall, In which we sang, is In deed, a splendid place. It is a very well finished concert room ,the acous tic properties being very tine. We went through the programme all right, al though some of the company were very badly affljcted with colds, and after the concert were the recipients of a great many compliments from a number of friends. We still have almost three weeks of it before us, and, reully, we all feel very experienced on the subject of programmes and concerts already. It is quite a little education in the art of making up attractive and at the same time classical menus to put before the people of different towns, for every one knows what will delight one com munity may not please another at all. So we go on in the even tenor of our way from night to night and I fancy that we are all learning a great many good and profitable things from this pleasant and well planned trip. lias Relatives in Scranton. We are at Llanelly now, where we gave a concert last night. The town market hall, where we sang. Is an im mense place, and was filled with chairs for the occasion. We had a very large and intelligent audience, who certainly enjoyed our programme very much, as they encored nearly every number. It was very enjoyable to us, too, to see the audience before us, as a great many people were in evening dress, which gave quite a pretty aspect to the house, from our point of view. The stage was all trimmed up with flags and colors and palms, and presented a beautiful appearance. Some of us are being very cordially entertained by Mrs. John Mor ris, of this place, who has a daughter living in Scranton, and who was one of the best sopranos in Mr. Evans' World's Fair choir. You may be sure this lady was glad to see us, and to hear from her absent daughter in America all that we could tell her. We meet many people over here In South Wales who have been over to Scranton or Wllkes-Barre, either to live or on a visit. These two cities are almost as well known here as in Cardiff or Swansea. Everybody has some relative or other over there, Or else expects to go over some time. On Mrs. Morris' mantel there stands a photograph of the Scranton court house, which, of course, we recognized Instantly, and were very glad to see the picture of so familiar a landmark. This morning, as I am writing here, and hist evening before the concert, there were several people who have near relatives and friends In Scranton, and who have, in fact, some of them, been Scranton lans themselves. In to call on us. It Is getting quite cold over here now, and we have, all of us, more or less caught colds. It Is not cold, like our country' cold weather, but damp and raw, and not dry and snappy, and I suppose that Is the reason why the peo ple have to eat so much fat meat, and il.-' . yich liquor. rue Red, White and Blue. Last night at our concert we came across a big handsome American flag in our dressing room. Mr. Anwyl spread it out for us all to feast our eyes on, which we just did. Some of us kissed It and some of us wrapped ourselves up In Its folds, for very gladness and pride In our country and her Stars and Stripes. For, although this Is a very fine country to come to and visit, or for a vacation, as one of the gentlemen says, it is not the oountry to live In and grow up In for us. Hurrah for the land of the free and the home of the brave, for there's no place like America for progress! Mr. Evans and Mr. Anwyl have just been down to the sea-shore, near which we are now, and have returned with their pockets full of shells, pretty ones, too, which they have picked up on the beach. We Blng tonight at a town on the sea-shore, and I anticipate a great deal of pleasure in seeing the bay where we shall be. Sadie E. Kaiser. SENT BACK TO TORONTO. A Boy Put Off tho Train at Scranton and Pound by the Police. A boy about 16 years of age was brought to the police station on Satur day under peculiar circumstances. From his story it appeared that he hulled from Toronto, Canada, and had been visiting his uncle In Buffalo, and a ticket was found on him from Clifton to Montreal. While In Buffalo a stranger Invited htm to accompany him to New York and the boy, nothing loth, accepted, and the Journey was uneventful until at Scranton he was put off, as he had no ticket, and had to be accommodated at the station house until yesterday, when he was sent home at the expense of the poor board. The stranger who caused his Journey went on to New York unconcerned as to tho boy's fate. PLANS FOR INSTITUTE. City and County Superintendents Havo Begun Preparations for the Sessions. That there may be no confusion in the separation of county and city teachers during the institute beginning Oct. 29, extensive and detailed preparation Is now being made by County nnd City Su perintendents Taylor and Phillips. The two superintendents began their ar rangements yesterday morning. It has been found that In one particu lar considerable time will be curtailed. Heretofore a large number of city teachers would be idle during instruc tion peculiar to the needs of country district teachers, or vice versa. The coming Institute will have instructions especially adapted to each class. AGED COUPLE'S TROUBLES. Dclaney Put Ills Wife Out of the House nnd She Liked It Not. Mrs. Patrick Delaney, of Sport Hill, a suburb of Dunmore, had a warrant Issued in Alderman Wright's office yes terday charging her husband with as sault and battery.

Very Favorably Received ut Davis' Thea ter by Large Audience. Davis theater liad a large audience last night to witness the production of "Enemies for Life," andithe piece exceeded anticipations. The company Is one of the strongest secured by Manager Davis, and the realistic ef fects are all that Can be desired. The lightning and storm In the gipsy's camp assist in the climax of the third act and create an Intense interest. The singing and dancing specialties, although not essential to the piece, aro much enjoyed by the audience. 2Sc. Sterling Silver Kings 25c.

Brilliant Concert for the Benefit of the Kindergarten, The Blauvelt concert for the benefit of St Luke's free kindergarten at traded a large audience of represents tlve Scrantonians at the Frothingham last evening. Many of the patrons of the enterprise appeared in evening dress and the dazzling toilets of tho ladies made the beautiful theater a scene of unusual brilliancy. The entertainment was opened with a novel feature. A half hundrtl little pupils of the kindergarten marched upon the Btage under direction of Mr. Carter, and gave an exhibition of their musical ability in a charming manner that brought down the house, so to speak. The opening solo of the evening was rendered by John T. Watkins, who sang with his usual good taste and received a hearty encore, to which, however, he did not respond. Mine. Blauvelt was received by a storm of applause upon her appearance on the stage, which gave evidence of the esteem in which the talented artist is held by Scranton music lovers. Her rendition of "Nymphs and Fauns" was given In an artistic manner. To the enthusiastic encore that followed Mme. Blauvelt responded by singing "Kath leen Mavourneen." In part second of the programme Mme. Blauvelt gave "Comln' Thro' the Rye" as an encore, and was recalled Beveral times by the enthusiastic listeners. Mr. Carter's interpretation of Liszt's "Rhapsodie Hongroise," was a finished performance from beginning to end, and gave evidence of his ability as a pianist from a technical view as well as his thorough comprehension of the spirit of the composer. In the above as well as in the rendition of the "Polonaise" by Chopin, Mr. Carter held the audience by his artistic handling of the subject before him, and the stillness that per vaded the house during his playing was more powerful evidence of the appre ciation of tho audience than the loud applause at the finish. Miss Draeger, contralto, delighted the audience by her finished rendition of German songs, and responded to a hearty encore by singing "Genevieve." Mr. Wooler sang English ballads In cap tivating style, and his sweet tenor voice was heard to excellent advantage in "Yesterday," "Bonnie Sweet Bessie," and "Alice, Where Art Thou?" The concert was a success, both finan cially and in a musical way, and re flects much credit upon the ladies of St. Luke's church, as well as the ladles and gentlemen who assisted in its success upon the stage. HE WAS A COOL ONE. This Woman's Bold Scheme for Blackmail Failed to Work. From Kate Field's Washington. A good Btory is told of a prominent federal official, who was in office during the first Cleveland administration and his reception of a woman who endeav ored to levy blackmail upon him. This woman came into his office one day and after tearfully reciting her tale of woe and wrong to him and an amused on lookerwho had tried, Ineffectually, to leave the room and let the couple at tend to their own affairs she de manded Immediately a check for $100. "But I cannot give you that amount. I haven't got it," said the official. "Well, then, I'll tell all about our dealings and you won't show up very well," said the woman threateningly. "Oh, I don't think you can make any body believe such a tale as you would tell against me," came the lmperturbed reply. "Oh, T can't, can't I?" sneered the wo man. "Well, I just need . that $100 and you've got to give It to me or I'll let out the whole business. Now are you ready to pony up?" The official pondered a moment. "The case would look pretty black against me, wouldn't It?" he said re flectively. "Yes, I'll see to that," was the wo man's still more threatening answer. "Well," said the official, after a few moments' thought, and with a sus picious twinkle in his eye, "I guess I see a way out of the difficulty. You know my wife holds the purse strings of the family. Now you Just go and tell her the whole Btory, and cry about it, and she might give you the amount you want. Good day," and he bowed the obnoxious caller out of the office, while she was too utterly dumbfounded to protest. She never bothered him again, ap parently admiring his nerve. Big Catch of Eels. From the Mllford Dispatch. The wriggling eels, having disported themselves In fresh water all summer, are passing .down the Delaware In great numbers to the ocean and become easy prey for the fishermen. Maurice Quinn and a party of friends had great luck "bobbing" in the river one night last week, their catch aggregating 600. The eels, however, ran very small, the entire number weighing only 100 pounds, Proper Locality. Stranger Seems to me this crowded street is a queer place for a hospital. Native Well, I don't know.
