TWO ir.lFORTAHT THINGS
Were Included U Last Mflbt's Board
of Trade Business.
PAID NRE SERVICE WANTED
Board Rebelled Against the Laekawsana
Road's Mileage System- Sups Taken
Toward More Defialte Aetlon on Two
Mottors-Othor New Business- -
Two very pertinent ' local questions
were considered along with the usual
batch of business at last night's meet
ing ot-the board of trade. A movement
was started to negotiate with the Dela
ware. Lackawanna and Western rail
road company relative to abolishing its
present mileage system ana looxing to
ward a return to the old books. Com
mittees were appointed to try and se
cure through councils the creation of
the office of Are marshal and a reorgan
isation of the fire department as a paid
system.
It was expressed by Secretary Ather
ton that although the report of the
manufacturers committee had been
prepared, the committee had proper
reason for withholding it until the De
cember meeting. He stated that one
new Industry had been secured and that
negotiations with another were nearly
consumated, and that the facts relative
to the two concerns would probably be
received with Interest and gratification
at the December meeting.
Relative to the Are marshal matter
the following report was reclved and
adopted:
"Your committee on Public Safety
beg to offer the following resolution, to
wit:
Resolved That the City Solicitor is
hereby respectfully urged to at once
prepare an ordinance (for the consider
ation of the councils of this city) cre
ating the office of fire marshal, and
making the necessary appropriation for
salary and expenses, as provided by Mill
No. 174, passed by the General Assembly
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
at the session of 1895, and be It further
Resolved That the Secretary be In
structed to furnish the City Solicitor
with a copy of these resolutions, with
an earnest request that the ordinance
be prepared as early as possible. In or'
der that the fire marshal may enter
upon his duties as soon as practicable.
Respectfully sunmittea.
Signed R. W. Luce, chairman."
Report on the Piibllo Market.
The special committee appointed to
Investigate the public market idea
made the following report, which was
adopted:
Your committee appointed to investi
gate the feasibility and wisdom of es
tablishing a public market in this city,
beg to report as follows, to wit:
"FlrstWVe believe that a public mar
ket properly managed and centrally lo
cated, would be a paying Investment to
the promoters, and a great conveni
ence to the nubile eenerallv.
"Second We also believe that If a
public market Is established, it should
be conducted by a private corporation.
and not under the city government.
"Third Before a corporation could
successfully carry on a business of this
character, certain legislation would be
necessary relative to and governing the
sale of produce on the streets by huck
sters and push-carts.
"As the resolution under which this
committee was created carried with it
Instructions to report only on the feas
ibility and wisdom of establishing a
public market, we beg to go a little be
yond that point and make the follow
ing recommendations, vis:
"First We recommend that the com
mlttee on legislation and taxes be In
structed to prepare an ordinance gov
erning the safe of produce on the
streets, as provided by the laws of this
commonwealth.
Second If the necessary legislation
can be secured, we would recommend
that a corporation be formed with suffi
clent capital to purchase a desirable
site, erect suitable buildings thereon
and conduct a regular public market
business, believing from data at hand
that It would prove a paying; Invest
ment to the stockholders.
New Members F.leoted. '
The following new members "were
elected: A D. Preston, dentist; Fred J,
Wldmayer, president of the Lacka
wanna Stone company, and Mr. Lebeck,
of the dry goods firm of Lebeck &
Corin.
It was resolved that the memorial to
the Democratic and Republican na
tional committees passed by the Cleve
land chamber of commerce Oct. 23, 1895,
requesting the shortening of the presi
dential campaign from six to three
months, be concurred in.
Relative to a paid Are department the
communication of the board's secretary
was as follows:
"Acting upon the suggestion of Col
onel F. L. Hltohcock, president of the
Underwriters' association, of this city,
1 have collected some valuable Infor
mation relative to the cost of mainten
ance, equipment, etc., of fire depart
ments in different cities in this country
and Canada. The testimony of the
heads of. the different departments
irom wnom information was solicited.
would seem to warrant at least an In
vestigation on the part of this board as
to the wisdom of re-organlzlnar the Are
department of this city into a paid de
partment, witn this end In view I
would respectfully suggest that this
matter be referred to a committee of
three, with Instructions to report In
writing to this board at Its December
meeting. Respectfully submitted.
D. B. Atherton. secretary."
The suggestion embodied In the letter
was put as a motion before the meeting
and was adopted and according to Its
provisions President May appointed
Colonel F. L, Hitchcock, Solomon
Goldsmith and J. H. Bteell to constitute
the committee.
It was upon the suggestion of Mr.
Bteell that action was taken on the
mileage question. He said that the
present system of the Lackawanna
road Is very obnoxious to business
Arms, especially .those having several
traveling salesmen. The system per
mits only the purchaser to use a rnll
leage, which can be obtained only af
ter a great deal of red tape. He msdo
a motion that a committee be appoint
ed to remonstrate with the Lackawan
na company, and urge them to return
to the old system. The motion was
amended to Include the Ontario and
Western road, and was adopted. John
m. Kemmerer, John T. Porter and T,
J. Kelly were appointed trie committee,
BIG CARPET CONTRACT.
It Has Been Awarded to Williams and
MeAniiltr.
Williams & McAnulty have been
awarded tne contract by Fred 8. God
frey for supplying the carpets and cur
tains for the new Hotel Jermyn. It
Is the largest order ever placed with
a carpet house in Pennsylvania .out
side of the city of Philadelphia, and
the fact that a Bcranton Arm was able
to successfully compete with all comers
on an order of such magnitude Is the
best possible evidence that Bcranton
business men can not be out done by
tneir rivals in otner cities.
The carpets will be the best Wllklns
and velvets, and the work of manufac
turing them has already begun. As
rapidly as manufactured they will be
cut 'ana sewed in -Williams eY Mc
Anulty's warehouse.. ,. ...
SOME FINE ENTERTAINERS
They Are at the Davis Theatre With Plays
. and Players company.
"Plays and Players," a musical farce
which began a three days' engagement
at the Davis tneater yesterday after
noon, is not possessed of much of a plot,
but that is immaterial in a farce when
clever people are In the cast, and "Plays
ana Flayers'' undeniably has several
very clever people in the company.
Richie Foy, Fred wuson ana fTanx
Latona are a great trio of merry-mak
ers and keep the audience convulsing
from start to finish.
Wilson gives an accurate and amus
ing Impersonation of an Irish woman
and the performance of Latona on a
one-stringed violin was marvelous.
Among the ladles of the company Annie
Whitney created the most favorable
Impression. She possesses a sweet
voice and sang several numbers with
splendid effect The dancing and loud
efforts of Llllle Vedder to amuse might
be toned down with advantage to the
performance. It Is not in harmony
with the work of the other members of
the companw.
"Plays and Players" will be repeated
this and tomorrow afternoons and
evenings.
SUSAN RYAN INSANE.
Sho Is the Woman Who Refused to Real
ise on a Marringo License.
Susan Ryan, the heroine of several
escapades of late, was yesterday ad
Judged Insane by Doctors Gunster and
Manley and ordered sent to the Hillside
Home.
The police thought they were well rid
of her last week when she was sent to
Plttston, where she could be cared for
by her sister, Mrs. William Wagner.
But Susan liked not the quietude of the
new city and determined to come back
to Scranton and its excitement.
Her sister did not want to let her go,
but Susan swore that If she was not
provided with money for her Journey
Khe would stwil It. Thereupon Mrs.
Wagner gave Susan her fare and saw
her to the train. Mr. Wagner followed
them up and also took the train to
Scranton. Arriving here he had his
bothersome slHter-ln-law arrested and
examined. She will be taken to Hillside
Home to-day.
The poor authorities of Plttston on
Friday last directed our poor board to
come after her. so at all events she was
destined for the Home.
HORSES HAVE A RACE.
They Were I'nrestraincd and Left Wreek'
age Strowcd in Their Woke.
A team of horses attached to one of
the heavy milk wagons of the Scranton
Dairy company became frightened on
Linden street yesterday afternoon and
started 'toward the bridge at a terrific
speed. The horse and carriage of H. H.
Campbell was standing In front of his
store, 214 Linden street, when the
horses came rushing along. The wagon
swayed and crashed Into the carriage,
breaking it and throwing the wreck and
Campbell's horse onto the sidewalk.
Down the street the horses contin
ued until they reached the corner of
Franklin avenue, where the wagon col
lided with a telegraph pole containing
Are alarm box No. 23. So violent was
the Impact that the wagon was reduced
to a wreck, the pole splintered and the
Are alarm box destroyed.
Freed of the wagon, the horses con
tinued on their mad career until they
reached the bridge, where they were
stopped without causing further dam
age.
