r.KMAN TWO YKAltS AC.O.
Tt was over two years ago that local
Kinleavores conceived the idea of liav
liiij Scranton selected for the ':u con
vention. At York Iu 1 S'.4 a jmdiinin
ary canvas was made and without
tiny great effort this city, was shown
to bo favored by a large number.
tin the return of the delegates from
York a pronounced step toward put
ting forth Scranlon's ilnims iu the
Krh !.- convention Avas ninde. Tlie
following preliminary committee was
formed to carry on the work: Charles
K. Jmniels, chnlrman: A. K. Stone,
A. Ilcynolds, (lluii.v Ltitlirop, C. IT.
Chandler. Aliss Ida Wutrous utnl Miss
lln Intel WilllnniH. Several mass meet
ings were held, literature circulated
and personal canvassis made; so
Scranton's bid was very generally
known throughout the tdute when Ihe
Krie convention convened last year.
The Scranton committee went from
here primed with f'e ondorsenient of
every union in uorlhfasterii Pennsyl
vania, nnd scores throughout the stale,
and the City Pastor's union. Allen
tow n was the only competitor but tilts
city was so overwhelmingly first
choice that the Allentown advocates
withdrew from the light and cm the
Hist ballot Scranton was unanimously
chosen.
Later during last year the Christian
Kndeuvor executive committee, mude
up of the presidents nnd correspond
ing secretaries of Ihe different so
cieties, met and Intrusted the conven
tion arrangement work to tlie ulready
iiientloned committee of '!!.
What the 'mi committee litis been
doing has been told from time to tint"
In the newspapers, but its great labor
will be better appreciated in studying
tin- doings and magnitude of the now
1'bisi.jy approaching convention.

ANNUAL MEETING
OF BONTA COMPANY
Stockholders Pass a Resolution to Raise
Money to Start the Plant.
IT WILL REQUIRE ABOUT $30,000
Seven Eighths of lanital Stock
Kcprcscnted at tho Meetiog"New
Board of Directors Elected of which
City Solicitor J. II. Torrcf is Presidents-Directors
Hope, to Start the
Plant in a Short Time.
An Important meeting of the stock
holders of the Bonta Plate C.Iasu com
pany was held at its olllce, Kl7 Lacka
wanna avenue, yesterday afternoon.
About seventy persons were present
nnd they represented seven-eighths of
tho capital stock of the company. A
resolution was passed authorizing the
board of directors to devise ways and
means to .immediately raise money tn
start the plant in operation, if neces
sary lo raise $IOO,tMM.
The company was first chartered
with a capital stock of f I.GOO.Oui), and it
was Increased later to 2,000,OHO. All of
this has been sold, except .l.non shares,
which are at present in the treasury.
One of the ways of obtaining money to
start the plant In operation is to place
this unsold stock on tlie market; an
other way Is to float, bonds, and tlie
third Is to have the" stockholders them
selves subscribe to the treasury slock
nnd Increase their holdings. A letter
was sent out lo the stockholders to
prepare them for yesterday's meeting.
It gives a statement of the affairs of
the company and Is ns follows:
STATKMKNT OF Al'TAlKR
Seranlon, l'a., Sept. 3, lS'M.
To Ihe Stockholders of Ihe Bouta. Plata
tilass company:
Preliminary to the minim meeting of
the stockholders of this company, to be
held Sept. HI, the undersigned hoard of di
rectors Invite the attention ftf the stock
holders to the following statement:
ASSKTS.
All patents for rolling embossed plalo
A completed plant nt Alooslc which can
commence the manufacture of goods oil a
week's notice, u ii-1 which. Including ma
chinery, has co-l over fl.Mit.ili). Several sum.
pies of manufactured plates, which dem
onstrate the practicability and utility of
ihe procfcHs,
MABH.ITIKS.
Nothing except the capital stock.
11 must be apparent to the dullest mind,
from this statement, that nothing Is want
ing to start tlei company upon an active,
producing career except working capital.
The directors eslimate that ubuut SWiil
will be necessary for this purpose. With'
this It can be speedily demonstrated
whether the expectations of tlie promoters
of ihe enterprise as to tlie utility and m ir
kclahllily of the product, and the gen
irons prntlts from its sale, are Instilled.
Without II the plain might lie idle till
doomsday, a monument lo the spirit which,
"having 'begun, was not able to llnish."
Both custom and statute law place upon
Ihe stockholders the ultimate responsibil
ity of regulating the disposition of Ihe
stock and the Incurring of Indebtedness.
It Is not. therefore, with a desire to shl'-k
responsibility that the directors leak lo the
si.i.-kholdi-i-s in the coming annual meet
ing 10 settle upon some in. -tin.. I for raising
the necessary capital. Wi earnestly ur.e
upon you the Importance of coming to the
in. 'cling prepared to suggest some su.-h
nieihed or to give substantial supiiort lo
any plan which may he adopted. Three
plans have lieeii suggested, as follows:
l.'lrst The Issue of bonds secured by a
mortgage upon the company's property.
Second The increase of their holdings,
by tlie present stockholders, by subscrip
tions to treasury stock.
LOCKJNO 1'P A STOCK.
Third The locking up of nil slock now
Issued. In order that treasury alock may
be sold In the market.
Tlie llrst named plan Is the most simple,
nnd would be recommended by the hoard
If the money market were iu a. better con
dition. It' individual stockholder can
themselves lake or place among tleir
friends the requisite quantity i, bonds,
the problem would be at once solved. Cei
talnly the valuable uuiueiimbt'i-ed prop
erty of the company, as above stated,
ought easily to secure a loan nf one-liftli
of Us actual cost. Stockholders are there,
fere urged to Inform the board, either iu
person or by letter, what amount of such
bonds they can take or place, If the ucluai
loan !s limited to I'lJIe..
Briefly, Ihe situation Is as follows: Tile
money which yon paid for your stock has
purchased all patents, demonstrated their
practicability and erected a complete
manufacturing plant. If we can now put
Ihe plant in operation and successfully
open and lill a market for the product,
your Btock will nromutlv become wmih
much more than yon paid for it. If the
plant is permitted to lie idle and fall tnto
decay, your stock will never bo worth
anything.
In conclusion, we would state that the
undersigned were recently elected direc
tors by agreement of previously eonltlet
lug and antagonistic elements We have
succeeded in entirely seltllng nil dissen
sions, have secured entire control of all
tlie company's properly, settled all out
standing Halms, und have placed the prop
erty in such position that it can be im
mediately operated for the sole benellt of
the owners. Having- accomplished this
much, we conlldcntly lo:1k lo the fito -k-hol
lers to make provision for Ihe means
to put the properly to valuable and re
munerative use.
If you cannot be present In person at the
annual me. 'I ing ph ase execute the inclosed
proxy iu blank and send il lo unv one of
1 lie ilirrctnrn, or, If you prefer, lill it out

NI'AniKlt OF STOCKHOLDERS.
Ponta stock Is held by about 2G
persons, who are principally residents
of this city, t'mite n. number living in
the Wyoming Valley are owners also,
and there are, probably, 25 persons in
Philadelphia and New York, At th
outset J. W. Honta, the inventor of
the new process of tnniiufncturiii?
plate glass, proceeded to build the
plant and demonstrate u.s ability to do
what he' claims for it.
lie made Hi? contracts personally
and .was responsible for Hie payment
of the cost of building the plant. H
has been finished for sonic time, and a
month ago he transferred the plant tl
the board of directors, nnd today there
Is not a cent of debt on II as far is
the company Is concerned. All that
is needed Is tlio money to start It go
lug. The stockholders elected a new'
board of directors yesterday, or vath
cr re-elected the old board, mid thus
approved of their work.- The resolu
tion granting the board full power to
raise the working capital will set th
directors to work to accomplish that
object and In a month they look for
success to crown their efforts.
City Solicitor J. H. Torrey was chos
en president of the company; C. D.
AVegmau, vice president; Oeorge W.
Finn, trensurer, and W. H. Huchnn
nnn, secretary. The other members
of the board of directors are: fleofge
A. Tlllotson. of Slrniplshurg; John K.
Ijinnig, of Phlhule'phla: AV. I. lllbbs,
esq., of West Plttslon; Dr. R H.
Thronp and J. V. Honla.
Since the plant was finished noth
Ing has been done, simply because
there was nn money to run It; and
there were other matters between Mr.
llonta and the stockholders that were
pending settlement. The only person
around the place Is the watchman,
but they think the time Is not far eft
when the 1mm of industry will be heard
In the shop's vicinity.
