Plttston, Pa., Feb. 3. The citizens ol
the Plttstons are now alive to the best
Interests of our new city, as was shown
at the preliminary meeting of the bouffd
qf trade held at the town hall on Friday
evening. The convention was the con
tinuation of the adjourned meeting of
citizens called on Monday evening, Jan.
28, by Benjamin Harding to outline
plans to reorganize the old board of
trade and was conducive of formulat
ing definite arrangements for re-organ-izatlon.
Benjamin Harding was elect
ed chairman pro tern of the assembly,
ind called the meeting to order at 8.30.
lAa a step toward re-organlzatlon, B. O.
Cooper, secretary of the old board, lilled
Khe secretary's chair and read the min
utes of the previous meeting, which
were approved. P. H. Banker, secre
tary of the former meeting, tttated that
as the board had not met in six years,
the committee appointed to ascertain
what rules and regulations the old
board was conducted under, had found
Alie charter and minute books, tout were
unablo to find the by-laws and consti
tution. It was decided that the mem
bers of the old board would be en
titled to membership of the new one
un payment of the regular dues. 'Secre
tary Cooper tendered his resignation
after six yeai of constant work In the
Interests of the old board In which life
Iliad become quite or nearly extinct.
1 Us resignation was accepted. The next
proceeding was the election of officers
for the permanent organization. Ex
'Seeretary B. G. Cooper presented the
Jiame of Benjamin Harding for presi
dent. The nomination was seconded by
K. A. Cast? and Mr. Harding was elect
ed by acclamation. F. H. Banker was
Tinaniroouiily elected to thu olllce of
secretary. The election of treasurer
was deferred, as the treasurer of the
eld board, Thomas Mangan, was not
present, and it could not be ascertained
if he (Mangan) would accept a re-election.
' At the request of the chair as to
what new industries wished to come
within the limits of our hospitality,
Secretary Banker replied that there
.were 'two at present who desired the
assistance of the board. They are the
Plttston Coal Screen company, with
John Tolln as manager, of which
mention was made in our column some
time ago, and Is temporarily located in
the. Reap; testate building on North
Slain street. Mr. Tolln is desirous of
a more centrally located and commodi
ous plant. Also the Eureka Cash Regis
ter System company, of which E. S.
iPratt, of Elmlra, is manager. Motion
was made that the chair appoint a
committee of three to. wait upon the
cfllcers of the new concerns and ascer
tain what they may desire. The com
mittee appointed were Secretary P. H.
Banker, V. G. Thomas and Meyer
Schlooser. On motion of W. G. Thomas
the chair appointed the following com
mittee to prepare and submit at the
next regular meeting of the board a
code of by-laws to replace the missing
ones of the old board: F. H. Banker,
B. G. Thompson and P. II. Kelley.
The following names were submitted
for membership: A. A. Bryden, J. H.
Mullen, William Drury. JoseDh L. Cake.
C. C. King, J. J. Mangan, Theodore!
itart, C. R. Williams. Alex. Bryden, P.
J. Gallagher. B. Griffin, M. A. Kelley,
A. Markus, Thomas O'Brien, B. J. Dur
ktn, J. F. Armstrong, B. J. Conlan, P.
iP. Joyce, Joseph Andrews, Joseph Lan
ford and George Llewellyn. Thomp
son's motion that the names be re
ceived, waa carried.
Meeting Room Required.
As the council chamber will often
times be In use by either of the new
councils, Dr. J. c. Reap moved that a
committee be appointed to ascertain
the location and cost of rental of a
permanent room which would bo ade
quate for the use of the board. The
chair appointed Dr. Reap, C. R. Will
' lams and F. II. Bohan. The question of
Initiation fee was next brought before
the assemblage. It was ascertained
that the initiation fee of the old board
was $3, and yearly dues J2. which
proved Insufficient to carry on the busi
ness of the old board. To make the
oiew board of Interest to all concerned,
W. G. Thomas suggested the 11 ha
raised to $10. A. B. Brown strongly
ravoretj $20 as Initiation fee. As a com
parison Hecrtary Banker mentioned
the fees charged by the Wilkes-Iiarre
and Scranton boards. The fee of the
'Scranton board is $25, while that of
the Wilkes-Barre board Is only $5.
(Brown refers to the Scranton board as
l)lng the motive power in making
Scranton the metropolis of this section.
Llewellyn advocated that the old laws
regarding the initiation fee be set aside
and new laws be formulated. Hls desire
Is to have a live and successful board
which will promote the best Interests of
both sides of the river and Increase the
value of our town as a manufacturing
center. La n ford moved that the iirltta
tlon fee be $20, Including the llrst yenrs
Jues. The motion was carried. Tin
board then adjourned until Tuesday
evening, Feb. 12.
Messrs. Brooks and Dole, of the
Greenwood, Langclift and Laflln col
lieries, on Friday last, took possession
of the Lee colliery at Lee, Luzerne
county, I'a., formerly operated by the
Newport Coal company .W. G. Thomas,
superintendent of the Laflln Coal com
pany, will also assume the management
of the Lee colliery.

individual bodies of council. Our pres
ent town hall will be Inadequate to ac
commodate the different meetings of
the councils and their committees, as
at times both councils will be obliged
to convene at the same hour. Our city
bastlle is also too small and lias very
poor ventilation. The stench which
arises from the cells below and enters
t!i present council chamber 'makes it
almost impossible for public meetings
to be held there. The old town hall has
been of excellent service and is still
very useful, but it is mow Insultlcient
to supply our present needs. The sub
ject of a new city, hall has been slightly
dlsoussed in some of our council meet
ings, but was considered rather prema
ture, as our councllmanlc bodies are
yet to be Installed. It is now time to
give the matter thought and formulate
some definite plans for the future city
hall. What we wish to suggest in con
nection with a new city hall is to have
one portion set apart fur a five library
to be filled, with a full complement of
the latest and best literature of the
day, and be for the use of any who
may desire to keep themselves in
formed, but W'ho are unable to pur
chase a library. It should be a public
reading room and supported by the
city. There are numerous enterprising
citizens who are willing to subscribe
to such a library, and will use their In
fluence in promoting the advancement
of any arrangement that our councils
and citizens may produce.
All complaints of non-dollvery of The
Tribune should be reported at our local
office, No. 8 South Main street.
The sale of seats at Music Hall Satur
day morning for the engagement of
Otis Skinner next Wednesday night,
was one of the largest of the season.
If one-half of what has been said of
Clyde Fitch's new comedy, "His Grace
De Grammont," Is true, there is un
doubtedly a treat in store for our theater-goers.
The dialogue is said to
sparkle with the wit that characterized
the ladles and gallants of the court of
Charles II. On account of the high
class attraction, Manager McDougall
has Increased the price of admission to
33, 50, 75 cents; $land $1.50.

Colonel Gllkeson has not only secured
tiio promise of this lucrative place for
himself, but he has obtained the con
sent of the governor to the selection by
Factory Inspector Campbell of one of
lis most active political lieutenants for
deputy of the district composed of the
counties of liucksand Montgomery and
all that part of Philadelphia north of
and including Manayunk. There were
an even dozen of applicants in Mont
gomery county for the place, but they
have all been, given to understand that
the pluce is to bo given to Porter Mln-
zer, of Ilristol, the home of the state
chairman.
One of Uuay's Trusted Lieutenants.
The seargant-at-arms of the senate Is
sleepy-looking individual with a
shaggy grey beard and keen gray eyes.
As he sits at his desk In the rear of the
senate chamber, near the main en
trance, he looks, at a glance, as it he
were half asleep and was entirely ob
livious to his surroundings. But he is
not; he is as wide awake as the most
active member and a keen observer of
everything going on about 'him. He
has a most remarkable memory and
never forgets a name or face. This
man is James P. Harrah, of Beaver,
Senator Quay's closest personal and po
litical friend. Harrah looks after the
pollticat details of the state of Beaver
and. is u. valuable aid to Senator Quay
in keeping hLm In touch with the politi
cal movements In that end of the state.
Quay is very fond of Harrah, and one
of 'his first acts after the Inauguration
of President Harrison was to have him
appointed marshal for the Western
Pennsylvania district. The sergeant-at-arms
looks not unlike a prosperous
farmer, although he is a lawyer with a
good practice.
Representative Scyfcrt's Hill.
A bill has been Introduced in the
house by Representative Seyfert, of
Lancaster, appropriating $5,000 to erect
a monument In memory of the heroes
of Kastern Pennsylvania who sacrificed
fheir lives during the revolution. Af
ter the battle of Brandywlne about 600
of the wounded of the army of the
colonies were removed to the convent of
the Seven Day Baptists, on the site of
the town of Ephrata, in Lancaster
county. One hundred and ninety
eight of these brave fellows died from
their wounds and a deadly fever which
broke out among them, and were burled
in the graveyard of the religious order
that had charge of them. The graves
of these heroes are unmarked, although
as long ago as fifty years a movement
was started to erect to them a monu
ment. After tho corner stone was laid
the funds were exhausted and the mat
ter abandoned until two years ago
when Mr. Seyfert, near the close of the
session, introduced the bill which he
has presented at this session. A sub
committee of the ihouse appropriation
committee made an investigation and
unanimously reported in favor of the
measure, but in the bustle at the close
of the session the bill failed.
Mrs. Starkey's Meusuro He-Introduced.
A middle-aged women, with while
hair, n fined features, Inclined to be
stout and rather prepossessing for one
of her years, 'has been quietly circulat
ed among the lawmakers, politicians
and state officials at the capital the
past' two weeks in the interest of a bill
which has been introduced In the house
by her request. She is the widow of
George Starkey, a sculptor, formerly of
Scranton, whose death occurred about
five years ago. Starkey was an artist
who had become widely known by his
famous busts, particularly of Peal, In
the Academy of Fine Arts, Philadel
phia, and of Judge Conynham, in
Wllkes-Barre, and by his bronze statue
of Governor Geary In the Harrlsburg
cemetery. Starkey's masterpiece was a
model of " Strength and Beauty," for
which his widow is seeking an appro
priation of $25,000, to be carved in Itall-
nn marble and placed In the capltol
Two years ago a bill making this appro-
prlation passed the senate and was
killed in the house, Mrs. Starkey Bays
by Governor Pattlson, who influenced
enough members against It to prevent
It from going through that body.
Mrs. Starkey is making an energetic
canvass of the legislature for her bill
and believes It will pass without much
opposition. She says certain Influence
Is being 'brought to bear upon the gov
ernor s-nd sees no reason why he will
notvOpprove it when it reaches him
Tho group consists of two figures of
heroic proportions, the male being six
feet four Inches, and the female five
feet six Inches. The male figure is
represented sitting upon a rough hewn
rock, at the 'base of which Is on anvil,
and under the extended foot Is a broken
Roman sword to convey the Idea that
the brutality of arms has passed away,
and by the significant grasp of it ha left
hand upon tha lever of a modern steam
engine to interpret the power and force
of the age In which we live. In his
extendfd rlsht hand is a globe. The
Impression of strength Is conveyed in
the posoof the figure and Is augmented
in every delineation. Uy tho side of the
male llgure the female Is represented
standing In easy grace and tenderness
and with a gentle touch upon the shoul
der. With one hnnd she crowns the
globe with flowers, with the other cast
ing into the composition the clement
of beauty without which mere strength
Is complete and harsh. By her side are
a workbasket and distaff.
Mrs. Starkey tons large photographs
giving three different vlows of the
group, -which she carries with her on
her rounds among the members of the
legislature.
INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
The flro at Hnzle mine is now burning
fiercer than ever. The fire Is not under
control by any means and from present
Indications It means a six months' fight
for the olflcluls.
George M. Glazier, Boston, Mass.; Nel
son Green, Now York city; T. T. Kechlor,
Philadelphia, and D. A. Wheulock, of
Warren, Pa., are organising a company
to build a railroad from iinroelona, on
l.ake Krle, by way of Wanttlelri, 4a James
town, N. Y and Warren, Pa., and from
tho latter pluco to the coul llelds of Penn
sylvania. ...
Distribution of anthracite coul has
been stimulated by th seasonable weath
er of the lust two weeks, which hus r'
duced stocks In the hands of consumer,
dealers and producers. The demand,
therefore, has been quite good, although
It la evidently of a hund to mouth char
acter. Dealers everywhere seem to be in
want of coal for Immediate use, but they
firmly decline to buy more than can be
disposed of at onoe. The ragged condition
of tha trade and tha prospeot that the
opening prices a few weeks hence will ba
lower than those now nrevaillng detail
purchases on a large scale.
Disappointment is expressed in the iron
and steel trade at the failure of large con
sumers to place ordors, which they were
expected to glvo out. A conservative
spirit seems to havo come over buyers in
all lines, and while they meet with some
resistance from producers jot Bessemer pig
and steel billots, in other lines a poverty
of orders makes competition keen. Tho
tendency to limit ordors to the strict re
quirements of the present is well-nigh
universal. For this disposition the un
settled condition of the country's busi
ness affairs is largely responsible, and it
Is significant that while business at pres
ent is light, strong hopes are entertained
of a better future.
A compilation concerning the tin plate
works In this country now In operation
shows a total of fifty-seven mills and fac
tories either in operation or being built.
Many plants are projected for this spring,
and they will give employment to thous
ands of American workmen. Many mills
are to be enlurged. A tin plate mill larger
than any In this country is to be erected
shortly us an addition to the works of the
Illinois Steel company at Chicago. The
management of the company has been
considering the matter some months, and
has decided to build a plant that will con
sist of not less than thirty black plate
mills, In addition to a tinning department.
The company will make its own black
plates and will tin them. This new plant
will glvo work to over 2,000 men. At least
seven other tin plate plants are In con
templation. This does not include plants
which tin workers propose to build and
run on the co-operative plan.
Carbondale Anthracite; "A company
has been formed for the manufacture of
mine cars and building will be commenced
as soon as the weather will permit. The
cars will be supplied with a patent Jour
nal which It Is claimed effocts the great
est economy in oil and wear and tear.
The appliance Is the invention or. J. i
Gallagher, of Forest City, who trans
ferred his right to the company about a
month ago. Those who compose the com
pany are: W. J. Davis, who Is the presi
dent; Henry Box, treasurer; J. J. Walker,
secretary, and W. R. Ulakeslee, M. D.,
Benjnmln Maxey, T. J. Maxey, J. B.
Bloxham and J It. Fleming. Everything
is ready to proceed with the erection of
tho building necesnary for the manufac
ture of finished mine cars except the lo
cation and It is expected that desirable
options will be secured within a short
time. The patent wheel, axle and oil
box with which the car will be supplied,
Is something entirely original with Mr.
Uallugher. The wheel turns upon the
axle. Inside the box, which projects from
the axle, hanger, Is a collar. This fits
over tho portion of the wheel and passes
hulf-way through the wheel. A hole In
the box on the outside of the hanger opens
Into a space between the axle end and
tho collur. Wtien this space is filled with
oil-souked cotton, the collar acts as a con
ductor for the oil. In this manner both
axle and journal and wheel ore kept cou
Htuntlv lubricated with little or no waste.
Cars fitted with this appliance will be
very little more expensive than the old
Btyle."
STOCKS AND BONDS
New York. Feb. 2. It was a day of
waiting in financial circles. . Assistant
Secretary Curtis returned to the city but
up to the close of the market he had not
put In an appearance at the sub-treasury.
The impression on the street was that he
was in consultation with representatives
of foreign bankers. In the absence of
definite news somo operators were dis
poned to take profit and a rather lrregulur
market resulted. There were some nrm
features, however, notably Sugar, Chi
cago Gas, General Electric and Distillers.
Speculation closed irregular, but in tne
main llrm. Net changes show declines of
i to 1 per cent. Total sales were 78,0'JO

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons thut thy will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, anil
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers aro
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. AN ushhurn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haa
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
