tain private dwellings that stood on
the street. The city afterward revoked

solicitor.
An Ordinance that has been lying in

SUBSCRIBING 1'OR THE STOCK
Considerable .Money Has Already liecn
Pledged Towards the Organization of
a Tin Plate Company-An Elavator
Manufactory Also to Come.
A special committee of the board of
trade, consisting of Luther Keller, J.
A. Lansing, F. W. Martin nnd Secre
tary D. B. Athorton, have held meet
ings recently to devise ways and means
for procuring the necessary capital to
organize a company to manufacture
tin-plate In this city. Arrangements
have now reached a stage which indi
cates that the contempluted organiza
tion will be perfected.
The committee have, up to date, been
promised subscriptions amounting to
$40,000, and a much larger sum is In
View. Sufficient time has not elapsed
to allow a thorough cunvess of the
capitalists, but ther" Is every indica
tion that the capitul of $200,000 will
eventually be subscribed.
A suitable Bite has also been offered
the committee for the erection of the
works, and us It possesses all the ad
vantages and requirements necessary
an acceptance has practically been
made. The plans of the works and the
data collected are lu the hands of
Secretary Atherton, who will be
pleased to explain to all Interested
parties.
Will Be a Uood Thing.
That the future of Scranton will be
materially affected by the establish
ment of the tin plate Industry Is beyond
dispute, as about 400 men will be em
ployed, und $250,000 more will be added
to the amount circulated among the
business men of Scranton. An import
ant, which should receive due atten
tion, Is the demand that will be created
for a large supply of soft steel, which
Is manufactured In Scranton, and will
afford employment for the steelworkers
who are now out of work.
Tin plate la becoming an Important
Industry of the country, and Scranton
should tuke advantage of this oppor
tunity and be in nt the start. In one of
the grentest competing countries
South Wales the men are leaving for
America, owing to the establishment
of tin plnte works In this country, and
it Is palpable to all Interested in trade
movements that the present time i3
now the opportune moment to divert
the trade Into the particular locality
where It Is desired. Scranton has great
advantages for a tin plate factory.
Another Company Coming.
By the efforts of the board of trade
the Honesdale Iron company has been
absorbed Intd "The National Elevator
and Machine company," with head
quurters nt Scranton. The capital of
the new company has been subscribed
In the city, and when arrangements
are complete, the works will be re
moved to this city.
The company manufactures high
grade elevators and hydraulic machin
ery, and will In course of time prove a
considerable acquisition to the local in
dustries. They are at present placing
elevators n't the Matthews store on
Lackawanna avenue. Carter & Ken
