shall contain the 'board of trade rooms,
a large meeting and quotation room,
committee rooms, private apartments,

Stores will occupy the ground floor and
the remainder of the building will be lot
for offices.
It is probable that the architect's
suggestion may be adopted to let the
seventh floor for a business men's club,
there being plenty of space for dining
and private rooms, office, etc.
Every room in the building will be
lighted and ventilated by outside light
and air.
The committeemen who adopted the
plans were uncommunicative regard
ing the architect's compensation, but
it is understood that Mr. Holden will
receive 6 per cent, based on the cost,
which, according to the provisions of
the competition, was not to be over
Jir.0.000. 'Mr. Holden'a estimate Is less
than that and may be still further re
duced by using brick Instead of martble
Htone In the construction of the rear of
the building.
WM Bo Heady Within a Month.
It Is promised that within a month
the details and specifications for con
struction will be completed, so that
bids may be solicited and the contract
awarded early enough to have the
building completed and ready for
occupancy In less than twelve months.
The successful architect Is compara
tively a newcomer In Scranton, and it
is considered that he has made a tell

The original of the accompanying

Estimate for Patting Lladea Street Bridge
Approaches la Shape.
Pare, cut and slash as they would,
the city engineer's corps could not make
any reduction In Vhe estimate for the
Linden street bridge approaches. The
first hastily mode approximate estimate
was given out at $22,000, but It was
thought and sincerely hoped that this
amount could be greatly lowered by a
careful overhauling of the various
Trade Building.
Items. This work was completed yester
day morning and much to the chagrin
of the Llndon etreet bridge enthusiasts,
It was discovered on footing up the
figures that the most careful estimate
amounted to t21.92S.85.
Now their attention Is given to the
task of finding the available money to
met this amount. About 118,000 is all
that Is In sight at present. This money
!a derived from the surplus remaining
from the Linden street bridge's share
of the I2M.000 together with half the
premium and interest. As all the bills
have not been paid and some of them,
for 'Instance tho Inspectors' salaries,
can'only be estimated, it Js difficult to
find out with any degree of accuracy
how the accounts stand.
It Is confidently expected that 120,000
will be found to .be to the credit of
the Linden street bridge, and this will
be entirely sufficient, as the contract
price is always somewhat lower than
the engineer's estimate.
DIFFERENCES ABOUT PRICES.
Glass Blowers and Manufacturers Will
Meet Today to Consider Scale.
"There Is little to be said about the
glass business," said President J. H.
Steell, of the iScranton Glass company,
when seen by a Tribune reporter, rela
tive to the rumor that the factory of the
company at Green Ridge would not re
sume operations on September 1.
"Our instructions," continued Mr.
Stell were to resume operations on Sep
tember 15, but t here Is a slight difference
between 'the Gilao Blowers' union and
the Manufacturers association as to the
prices to be paid during the coming
season. Committees from these two
bodies will meet tomorrow In confer
ence and endeavor to adjust the dif
ference in a satisfactory manner. Until
the result of this conference Is made
public It is Impossible for any one to
make an authoritative statement con
cerning the prospects for the coming
season.
"We have taken advantage of the va
cation season to repair and overhaul
our furnaces, and they will be In shape
for use again aibout the middle of Sep
tember." TEMPORARILY IN TROUBLE.
Msrtlp 4 Delany, the Clothiers, Suffer
Brief Embarrassment.
Executions to the amount of $1.4.809.48
were tamed against Martin eV Delaney,

Koib 4 Son, of Rochester, N. Y., and
the second for $437.73 In favor of the

of New York. The sale la fixed for next
week.
This firm's high standing and favor
able r?putatkr, and especially the
widespread personal popularity of F,

the hope that the embarassment Is
merely temporary. In ifaot. It Is ex

Roaring Brook Bridge Construction
Will Not Be Delayed.
DIFFICULTIES ARB OVERCOME
Bed Bock Foundation for Troublesome
Piers Straek at a Depth of Twenty
Feet-Aad the Work Will Now
Be Pashed With Vigor.
It was feared that on account of the
difficulties encountered In excavating
for the last pier of the seven Roaring
Brook bridge supports that a serious
delay and financial complications with
bridge builders would result. This
fear Is now happily dispelled, as yes
terday the contractors, Muldoon &
Bowie, succeeded In reaching a solid
foundation of bed rock after excavat
ing twenty feet. I
Ever since the' latter part of .May
the contractors have been working at
Intervals on the two excavations for
these twin piers. They are to be located
forty feet apart on the edge of the old
Lackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany's dam on the Roaring Brook. The
bed of the dam is composed of sand
and cinders which have been washed
into the dam and allowed to accumu
late until the bed is almost on a level
with the top of the dam.
Had ttulcWsaad Properties.
By draining the few feet of water
that was in the dam it was thought
that little or no difficulty would be ex
perienced in digging for the piers, but
the work had suarcely begun when it
was discovered that the earth through
which they would have to excavate
had all the properties of quicksand,
and besides this the ground was full of
natural springs and a constantly flow
ing and strong subterranean stream
was struck when the excavations had
gone down but a few feet.
Realizing that they had a difficult
Job In these particular piers, the con
tractors abandoned them for a time
and proceeded with the work of com
pleting the remaining piers and abut
ments. This being done they turned
their attention to the troublesome piers
again. A 3-Inch pump was set to work
nnd a sort of cofferdnm built In the
hope that this would keep the excava
tions free from water. It tailed, how
ever, and three weeks ago a pump of
double the capacity of the first was
secured and work again commenced.
Found a Good l oundatlon.
It was successfully prosecuted, and
last week the contractors struck what
they thought was a satisfactory foun
dation, 'but City EngineeV Phillips re
fused to approve of it and they had to
continue their digging to a further
depth of eight feet.
The work will now be pushed day
and night While the masonry Is go
ing up on one pier the excavation for
the other will be carried on, so that the
least possible delay In the bridge will
result.
The bridge company threatened to
sue for damages If their work was Im
peded by the delay In the piers, but
now that they will be delayed very lit
tle. If any. it Is not likely that any
litigation will ensue.
LAST NIGHT'S FIRE.
.yystcrioud Fire Starts In Empty Part o
a Double House.
A double frame dwelling on Sherman
avenue near Wuahburn street, occupied
by a Hungarian family, and owned
by Paitrlck ficott, of the South Side,
was totally destroyed by lire at mid
night. The lire started In the rear part of
the house, which Is unoccupied, and as
U blazed up very rapidly the people
living In (the front pait had nono too
much time to escape.and saved only a
few articles of their furniture. By the
time the Are compamles arrived the
building was beyond redemption, and
owing to the poor pressure of water no
progress was made in subduing the
flames until the Ftamklin Engine ar
rived. Two alarms were sounded, one from
box 37 and later another from box 327,
which Is nearer the location of the Are.
