There Is the possible humiliation that thlb big city of Herunton will admit Its Inability to keep Us promise und this summer entertain the Mcdul of Honor legion and its distinguished president, Otiieral Nelson A. Miles, commander of the rnited States army. Through (Ieneral Miles the Leghuh had accepted the Invitation to come here, but It now develops Unit practically no sub scriptions of money have been made nml that Seranton inav full to meet Its self -Indicted obligation. The geiieial committee which was to huve made the preliminary ntrunue ments have failed to respond to sev euil calls for 11 meeting, only u few of them huvlng appeared nt any time. The committee was supposed to have met Snltiiiluy afternoon at t o'clock in Mayor tlalley's olllce but so few ap peared that only an Informal talk took place und an adjournment was made to this afternoon at I n'llock. No subscriptions have 'been reported by the llnnnce committee of fifteen. Kneli member was to hnve secured piedfF or cash to the amount of $100 and It was thought tho $l,r,00 to be thus obtained would definy the expenses of the Legion's meeting. The long-con tinued financial depression Is believed to be responsible for the turn of affairs, 1' this aftei noon's meeting doesn't de velop some ncflvlty and spirit, It Is nut unlikely that the project will be ubun dored. - - PRICE OP GAS IS REDUCED.
