STATE OF TJEJM TRADE
Meeting of Sales Agents Today Ex
pected to Bring Itclicf.
PKOrOSITION OP OPERATORS
Those Along the Line of tho New York,
On'urlo and Western Are Willing
to Donate 1 00,000 Tons
to the Heading.
Today's meeting In New York of the
sales agents of the large coal carrying
companion will be watched with groat
Interest, for they are expected to do
something to relieve the strained rela
tions that now exlrt among those who
put the dusky diamond on the market.
Conl Is selling in New York at $:i a
ton, which coal operators hereabouts
agree Is a ruinous price, and one that
cannot obtain for long without thoso
connected with the mining of coal los
ing money.
Tho claim of the Heading company
for I'l per cent, of the total output has
also been a disturbing element In the
conl trade, but Just how this matter Is
to be adjusted the best Informed men
seem not to know.
E. B. Sturges, who Is Interested In the
New York, Ontario and Western rail
road and In the development of the
conl lands north of this city, said yes
terday that whllo the Reading's claim
may not be Just, he thought It would
be good business policy for the other
large companies to agree to let the
Reading have It and deduct the 400.000
tons the Reading claims from their own
tonnage. The strength that would be
given to the market by such a course
would bring prices up nnd enable the
companies to make more money than
they would by mining 400,000 tons more
under the existing state of things.
' Proposition of Operators.
The Individual operators along the
line of the New York, Ontario and
estern, Mr. Sturges said, were so
anxious to see the difflculty adjusted
that they were willing to give 100.000
tons out of the amount of coal allotted
to them to thei Reading as their dona
tion to the 400,000 tons If other com
panies would take similar action,
There does not seem to be a general de
sire among coal men, however, to emu
late this example.
The Delaware and Hudson people
say they accepted a cut In their allot
ment without protest, but that they can
tolerate no further curtailing of It, for
they will need all of the coal they are
privileged to mine to supply their trade,
They deny that they are going to cut
adrift from the agreement and mine
and ship as much coal as they can And
a market for. In evidence of the fact
that they are not trying to glut the
market they show that their collieries
at Plymouth were Idle yesterday. At
present they are carrying a very small
stock of coal.
There were signs of greater activity
about some of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western collieries yester
day. A few of them were ordered on
full time and 1,000 empty coal cars that
were lying In the yards about this city
were again put Into service. This Is no
evidence that they contemplate Inde
pendent action, tho Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western people say, but Is
made necessary by the opening up of
navigation on, the great lakes and other
bodies of water on which the company
ships a portion of Its product to mar
ket.
New Cars for tho Reading.
One thousand new cars have been or
dered by the Reading company, but
coal men say that even this Is no evi
dence that that company Intends to cut
a wider swath In the coal business. The
Reading's rolling stock has been al
lowed to run down, 4hey say, and their
coal cars- have finally got Into such a
condition that they must be replaced
at once or the company will not even
be able to market the amount of coal
conceded to K.
In New York yesterday the street
was loaded with rumors to the effect
that certain New York banking Inter
ests connected with the leading an
thracite coal companies were disposed
to urge the granting of the Reading's
demand of 21 per cent, of the tonnage.
The rumor could not be confirmed, and
late In the day a dispatch was received
from Philadelphia, In which President
Harris was quoted as saying that he
knew nothing about the matter.

THAT STOCK EXCHANGE.
Lffort to Ho Mudo to Have It Abolished
Ciuincs Discussion.
Efforts will be made at the next reg
ular meeting of the central board of
trade to pass a resolution abandoning
the stock exchange list which has boon
In operation since Dec. 3, 1891. The
question has been discussed by a large
number of 'business men, who claim
that the resolution. If passed, will be
a retrogressive step.
Since the exchange was established
the actual sales made through Its
agency have amounted to $16,500, and
excepting three Instances of bank
stock, all the stock and shares have
been connected with manufacturing In
terests. One feature, which Is very In
teresting, Is that, in all but two cases,
all the sales have been made at a figure
above par value. These two features,
It Is clalmeTl by many of Seranton's
business men, absolutely prove the
value of the exchange, and Its practical
necessity as a reliable communication
between buyer and seller.
L nlike a stock broker, the means of
communication is through a disinter
ested party and Is absolutely secret,
and no opportunity Is given to place a
Hctitlous value on any stock. The
buyer, before his bid is accepted, has
to sign a form undertaking to purchase
the shares or stook desired at the figure
named, and the seller is similarly bound
by his agreement so that no Hctitlous
offer can be made on either side for the
purpose of unduly Increasing or do
creasing the value of any stock.
CHRISTIAN'S NEW VENTURE.
Ho Purchuscs the Dusincss of Craven the
Slilrttnokcr.
Frank P. Christian, the well known
hatter and furnisher, yesterday pur
chased the business of E. T. Craven,
the shirtmaker. In the future the busi
ness will be located on the third floor
of Jlr. Christian's building on Spruce
street.
Since Mr. Craven commenced the
manufacture of fine shirts In this city
last December the business has assumed
unlooked-for proportions, until finally
he realized that he could not give It the
attention he desired and look after the
cutting department. Mr. Christian be
lieved that a first-class shirt manufac
tory would be a desirable addition to
his already large business, and yester
day assumed control of the business.
Mr. Craven will manage the shirt de
partment, as In the past, but the busi
ness details will be looked after by Mr.
Christian.
Mr. Craven has had years of experi
ence In the manufacture of fine shirts
with Samuel Budd of New York, Earl
& Wilson, the famous collar and cuff
firm, and Eshelman & Craig, of Phila
delphia. His recent work In Scranton
has been of such an excellent grade
as to win much praise. Scranton never
before had a really flrst-cllass shirt
maker and Scrantonlans patronized
Mr. Craven quite liberally.
Orders for white, colored or negligee
shirts and ladles' waists may be left at
either 412 Spruce st. or 205 Lackawanna
ave.; or, upon postal request, a capable
man will call at your office or residence
with a line of samples.
BELLERMAN ARRESTED.
He Is Charged with Not Providing for His
Family.
Fred (Bellermon, of the Nineteenth
ward, was arrested at the instance of
his wife, Annie dJellerman, upon a
charge of deserting his children, and
was given a hearing before Alderman
Donovan on Saturday night, when he
entered ball in, the sum of $300 for his
appearance at court.
Mrs. Bellerman claims that nor hus
band Is addicted to drink and that
she was driven out of the house by him
upon a Htormy night, when attired but
In a flimsy night dress. As a result of
his cruelty, she was compelled to un
dergo an operation: at the Lackawanna
hospital, and uponi her discharge she
announced to him her intention of
maintaining herself, but that he would
be compelled to provide for the two
children.
After her wedding she had expended
her savings, to the amount of $400, in
furniture and assisting In paying for
a house, and could not obtain any re
payment,

FOR MANUAL TRAINING
Generous Gift of Mrs. Praneis G.
Haeklcy to the Y. M. C. A.
DAUGHTER OP JOHN RAYMOND
Work to Do Founded in Ills Memory.
Check for $10,000, tho First Install
ment of tho Gift, Head at Last
Night's Anniversary Meeting.
The members of the Young Men's
Christian association celebrated their
twenty-seventh anniversary last night
and the meeting was rendered memora
ble by tho announcement that Mrs.
Frances A. Haekley, of New York city,
had sent a check of $10,000 as an instal
ment of a donation of $25,000 for the
purpose of promoting the work of man
ual training under the auplces of the
association. Mrs. Hockley Is a daugh
ter of John Raymond, at one time u.
well-known citizen of Scranton, who re
sided on Franklin avenue, in a small
house opposite the residence of Robert
,T. Block. The only condition attached
to the magnificent offer was that the
work should! be founded In memory of
the father of the generous donor. It la
fif Interest to note that Mrs. Haeklcy
is the widow of Colonel Haekley, who
was the owner of the extensive Ray
mond coal estate, worked at present by
Messrs. Jones and Simpson and other
operators, In the neighborhood of Arch
liahl. President A. W. Dickson. In explain
ing the matter, said that Mrs. Haekley
had written a letter offering to con
tribute $5,000, nnd that two members
were deputed to wait upon her In reply
to tho letter. The result was so satis
factory that another letter was received
enclosing the check for $10,000 and an
nouncing her Intention of completing
the donation of $25,000.
Received with Knthiisliism.
The regdlg of the letter was most
enthusiastically received and a rising
vote of thanks was given Mrs. Haekley
for her magnificent gift as evincing her
warm interest In the welfare and edu
cation of the young men of Scranton.
Another feature of the meeting was
the addresses by some of the past pres
idents of the association. The com
plete list of presidents is as follows:
1869, Alfred Hand; 1S70 to 1872, H. M.
Boles; 1873, E. B. Sturges; 1S74, F. L,.
Hitchcock; 1875-7G. L. B. Powell; 1877,
F. L. Hltohcook; 187S-79, James II. Tor
rey; 1880-81, G. F. Reynolds; 18S2-83, II.
A. Knapp; 18S4-86, William Connell;
1S87-M0, H. M. Botes; 1890-92, W. J. Hand;
1S9.1-95, A. W. Dickson.
Ex-Judge Hand, who wns the first
president of the reorganized associa
tion, was the first speaker, and said
that It was expected of htm to unearth
some of the foundations on which tho
association now rested and y-hlch were
planted twenty-seven years ago. Many
things came vividly In his recollection
that day, and more so It came upon him
the thought that he had never doubted
that the association was an accepted
and ordained instrument In the hand of
God and the more the characteristics of
the Institution were studied and the
better the objects were under
stood, the deeper the conviction
grew In the minds of Chrlstjan peoale
that the association was accomplishing1
the work for which it was organized,
Pictures of Two Homes.
Judge Hand then dealt in felicitous
terms on the relation of the Young
Men's Christian association to tho
home, und referred to the picture pre
sented In the word of Ood of the home
In the Garden of Eden, which was so
bright and beautiful that the genius
of Milton was exhausted In the theme.
The next picture was the home de
stroyed and lost, but throught the Scrip
tures from Genesis to Revelations it
would be found that the home was ex
alted.
He then spoke of his own case when
coming friendless to Scranton and the
great assistance received from the asso
elation, of which he was a member.
Deducing from his own experience he
urged young men that it was their
honor glory to make homes.
Speaking of the 'early association
Judge Hand passed a glowing tribute
to the memories of Joseph H. Scranton
and Joseph C. Piatt, who were active
men In laying the foundations of the
city. The struggle of the early asso
ciation were severe, and in the time of
the war It was resolved that It should
die a natural death. Afterward, how
ever, a meeting was held In the Baptist
church, and the association was reor
ganized on an evangelical basis and the
membership soon reached 375.
After pointing out the early progress
of the work Judge Hand urged the
young men to bear In mind that a
pious and Christian home was a prize
greater blessed than political fame or
wealth.
Address by Mr. Sturges.
13. B. Sturges, In an address full of
rominlscenes, spoke of himself anony
mously as "a young man who camo to
Scranton, without a home, knew no
one, not a single friend, no house open
to him, until he saw the letters 'Young
Men's Christian association,' on Lacka
wanna avenue." In speaking of the
blessing which ho had received, from
the association, the speaker remarked,
that whatever might be his object in
nmasslng weath, some day or other he
would show his gratitude to an Institu
tion which ilmd done bo much for him
and others in the city. In dealing with
his term as president In 1873, Mr.
Sturges referred to the action of the
association in dealing with the great
desecration of the Sabbath. In those
days there was no attempt to conceal
the Sunday drinking; drunken men
were frequently knocked down and
robbed In the busy streets.
The Young Men's Christian associa
tion, after much discussion, undertook
the work of exterminating the terrible
crime prevalent In the city. There
were 400 indictments presented for
illegal selling on Sunday and selling
to minors, and Jury after Jury re-turned
verdicts of "not guilty," or "could not
agree." Finally an offer was made by
the Liquor Dealers association that
they would pay all costs of the pro
ceedings, and enter Into an agreement
not to sell to minors and also not to
sell on Sundays, conditionally on the
prosecutions being withdrawn. A few
of the liquor dealers did not keep the
agreement, but for jtars a continual
fusllade was directed against them.
Other Addresses Made.
. Colonel Hitchcock, president In 1874
and 1877, said that during his terms the
association was In a chronic state of
debt, and described the work of the as
sociation in Park Pluce, where the out
growth was seen In the Methodist Epis
copal church. They had a,lso anticipat
ed the Rescue Mission and Young Wo
men's Christian association.
City Solicitor Torrey gave an account
of his stewardship In 1878 and 1879, when j
the association was at a low ebb owing
to a destructive fire, unfortunate ex
periences of a general secretary and the
prevailing hard times.
G. F. Reynolds gave an Interesting
account of the work In 1880 and 1881
and read a report from W. J. Hand of
hlB presidency In 1890 and 1892. Secre
tary Many read the report of Judge
Knapp for 1882 and 1883.
A. W. Dickson, In referring to various
gentlemen who had assisted in the work
of the association, said that William
Connell was unable to be present owing
to Indisposition, and ho regretted his
unavoidable absence, as Mr. Connell
had been Instrumental in the organ I za
tlon and erection of the handsome
building on Wyoming avenue. They
were Indebted to him for pushing on
the work. He also referred to the pres
enco of James Illalr, who had at all
times assisted them, whenever he was
approached. Tho chairman also pre
sontcd his report, which will appear in
a later Issue of The Tribune.
Judge Hand, In making some Hrsonal
references to those who had assisted the
association, remarked that Colonel
Boles nnd William Connell had each
subscribed $500 per annum since 1S6! to
tho funds.
Excellent music was rendered by the
glee club during the evening. Rev
James MeLeod opened the meeting by
pruyer and pronounced the benediction
at the close.

Klrst:
Philip Klrst, Street Commissioner,
Dc-ur Sir We respectively represent to

company lias broken the asphalt pave
mint, has luld down some rail and dug up
a part of the street
As Wo understand It, tho court has de
cided that this action was without an
thotity of law. In such case It seems lo

Is Immediately restored to Its former con
lltlon (see ordinance of March 10, 1891,
Torrey's dlgust, puuo 230, sections 23, 2
and 25).
We suffer much Inconvenience on ac
count of tho mud anil dust thus occasioned
and by not having the proper use of the
pavement, which was constructed at our
expense.
We respectfully ask that you have the
mntterattemledto at your earliest conven
lence. Yours respectfully, James M. Ev-

Scranton, Pa., April 29.
Mr. Klrst will today request the com
pany to relay the asphalt and put the
street In as good condition as before
the work was begun. If the company
refuses to complete the work within
two weeks, the street commissioner
will repair the street and take legal
steps to secure payment from the com
pany.
BROTHER AGAINST SISTER.
They Are Members of tho Wavcrly's
Colored Colony.
Members of the colored colony at
Waverly are having a dispute over the
ownership of a half acre of land at that
place, and yesterday the courts were
appealed to In the matter, when John
A. Walker began an notion In ejectment
against his Bister, Mrs. Catherine Brad
ley.
He alleges that when his father died
he was the owner of a half acre of land
which he directed should be divided
equally between his two children. Mrs.
Bradley obtained possession of the land
and Insists on retaining It, thereby ig
noring her brother's right to a portion
of the property and making it necessary
for him to take legal steps.
DEALER IN EVERYTHING.
He Is Desirous
to
Locate in
This
City.
Yesterday a letter was received at the
board of trade rooms from "E. F. Bran
ning, dealer in everything, Narrows
lurg, N. Y" stating, "I have heard a
great deal about your city nowadays
and as I am looking for a place to
move to, kindly send me such printed
matter you may have bearing on your
city."
Secretary Atherton remarked that a
"dealer In everything" would be a val
uable acquisition to the business com
munlty, and forwarded the desired In
formation to Mr. Brannlng.
Stuurt Robsnn Tonight.
Stuart Robson will appear at tho Froth
Innlium this evening In "Henrietta,'
PJronson Howard's great comedy. It deals
with the humorous side of a speculator's
life, and Is a satire on American fnds and
(foibles, and tho seculntlons of Wall
street. The fun of the play begins with
tho very rise of the curtain, where the
speculation of the elder Van Alstyne fur
nish abundant material for laughter; from

DO NOT LIKE MK. WISSWAESSER
Meeting Passed a Itesolutlon Containing
a lieeital of Aets the Former Pastor
Is Charged With-licslgnution of
Elder Jacob Miller Accepted.
All the pent-up feelings of remon
strance against the return of Carl L.
Wlsswaesser and his application for re
instatement Into thu Lackawanna Pres
bytery, broke out with a vengeance at
a meeting of the parishioners of th
Hickory Street Presbyterian church
lust night. Mr. Wlsswaesser's depart
ure from this city at a time that h
was in charge of the pastorate of the
Hickory Street church, Is well enough
remembered.
Ills return raused the old sore to
bleed, and when he applied for rein
statement nt the retfent meeting of th
presbytery, members of the congrega
tlon said that If Mr. Wlsswaosso
should be Installed they would protest
vigorously. The application of Mr.
Wlsswaesser wus an insult that they
were writhing under, but when charges
were filed in the presbytery against
their pastor, Rev. August Lange, th
members could no longer withstand I
and last night was appointed on which
to assemble to take action.
l:idor Miller KcslRncd.
Rev. Mr. Lange was present and th
purpose of the meeting was formally
announced. Without any delay Jacob
Miller, an elder of tho church, handed
In his resignation and left the church

few Joined, prominent among the dis
senters being Peter Hartman, of ob
scene letter writing fame, renewed con
fldenre was expressed In the goodneps
of the pastor, and by tho same vote
was discredited all charges brough
against him In the presbytery.
The pastor thanked them for the ex
pression of their confidence, and be
sought them to remain true to the
church. After the pastor's remarks the
election of a successor to Elder Jacob
Miller was proceeded with and George
Kirchoff, of Willow street, was chosen
by a viva voce vote.
Wlsswaesser Is Scored.
Conrad Bellershelm possessed a docu
ment that represented to contain a his
tory of all the lapses of the former
pastor of the church, and these were
read and endorsed In the shape of a
resolution. The paper charged Mr.
Wlsswaesser with peculations o
church money and various other dl3
graces.
John Lentes. a prominent figure In the
church, has In his possession all tho
minutes of the meeting and the resolu
tions passed, but refused to give the
latter for publication until he translates
them into English and submits them to
the pastor.
