In the appropriations made by the
house of representatives at Hnrrloburg
Wednesday wcie Included appropria
tions for the Lackawanna hospital ar.d
the West Side hospital. .The nmount
asked for the Lackawanna' hospital was
$180,200, but the amount given wns only
$30,000: for the West aide hospital, $22,
000 was sought, but only $7,000 was
granted.
To ascertain tho use to which It wao
proposed to put the $180,200 asked for,
and what will be done with the $30,000
obtained J. George Elsele, a director of
the Lackawanna hospital, wns seen by
a Tribune reporter yesterday.
The bill appropriating $180,200 to the
hospital reads as follows:
The sum of thirty-eight thousand two
hundlred dollars (J.'S.aX)), or so much
thereof as may be necessary, for the pur
pose of maintenance for tha two fiscal
years leglnnlng Juno 1, 1W.
Tho sum of sixty-five thousand dollars
($65,005), or so much therjof as may be
nectsf y, for n new wing, fire proor, a
ward .or women.
The Hum of ten thousand dollars ($10,
000), or so much thereof as may be neces
sary for a children's ward.
The sum ot twelve thousand five hun
dred dollars ($12,500), or so much thereot
as may be necessary, for an isolated ward.
The sum of twenty-live thousand dol
lars ($23,000), or so much thereof as may
be necessary, for on administration build
ing. The sum of seventeen thousand dol
lars ($17,000), or so much thereof as may be
necessary, for an operating room, recov
ery room, etc,
Tho cum of live thousand dollars (S5,
000). or o much thereof as may be neces
sary, for a bain and morgue.
The sum of seven thousand five hun
dred dollars ($7,fM0), or so much thereof
n may bo necessary, to be applied to
ward the purchase of adjoining lot.
THE ITEMS EXPLAINED.
According to statements made by
Mr. Elsele each Item In the. bill would
be thus explained: The sum of $3S,200.
mentioned In the first Item, represents
the actual running expense for two
fiscal years, beginning June 1, 1897,
and is figured on a basis of a cost of
ono dollar per patient per diem. This
cost Is based upon the experience of
past years, and allows for any rea
sonable Increase of patients. In the
second Item, the sum of $65,000, appears
and, as stated, covers the cost of tho
erection and fitting up of a new wing,
being a lire proof ward for women.
The board of directors had agreed upon
a building which, would only cost
about $25,000, but were Instructed to
have plans drawn up, which would call
tor a fire proof construction and other
additional features.
The Instructions came from the ap
propriations committee, and the addi
tional features provided for the care
of women who were about to be con
fined and had no other place to retire
for proper care than a hospital. Also
for patients who desired special or pri
vate treatment. Accordingly, plans
were arranged and being submitted
to the state board of charities, they
weie approved by that body.
The third Item, of $10,000, for a chll
dion's ward, explains itself. The
umount of $12,500 asked for In the
fourth Item was a matter of abso
lute necessity. It has been proved
again and again that an Isolated ward
Is required In any large hospital, and
In this respect the Lackawanna hos
pital Is severely handicapped. Thus
far, however, the space available at
present has not been overtaxed, but
theie Is no gauging possible as to the
future.
CAN BE DONE WITHOUT,
The fifth Item, of $23,000 ror an ad
ministration building, can be reason
ably done without though, there Is no
telling as to how long the association
will have the use of the old Delaware
nnd Hudson office building, now being
used by It for r.ur.'d quarters, etc. Be
side there are numerous details which
a building of that nature might wel!
coer.
The hospital Is at "resent blesspj
wltn a first-class opsratlng room. The
granting, however, of the amount- of
$17,C00, asked for In the sixth Item, for
an operating, recovery room, etc .
would have allowed of the using of the
present operating for outdoor patients
This part of the Institution work is
especially great as the Lackawanna
treats between 300 and 1,500 outdoor
patients each year. The seventh Item
of $5,000, for a barn and morgue, was
also a desirable addition. At present
the quarters used for the above pur
poses are not particularly attractive,
and In the Instance of the morgue
really is a drawback.
Then last, but not least, the amount
of $7,500, asked for In the eighth item,
Is a reasonable request and Its pur
pose would have been met had the
other Items been granted. The prop
erty owner asked $9,000 for the prop
erty desired, but the additional $1,500
needed above the amount asked of the
state would have been met by the dl
iector3 themselves.
The amount granted by the stato be
ing $30,000, will be applied upon the
first Item, for which $38,200 was asked,
The balance of $8,200 will bo met In
some other manner. The, remaining
items, of a necessity, will have to hold
over.
PLEASED WITH AMOUNT.
Mr. Elsele, as a director, Is, however,
well pleased with the amount granted,
as It Is an Increase of $5,000 over tho
last appropriation. Owing to the de
pressed times and the apparent re
luctance of the legislature to go too
dtep Into expenditures with a scant
treasury, half the amount would not
have surprised tho directors.
The following communication, sent
to Mr. Elsele from Representative
Hon. Alex T. Connell, may add fur
ther Interest:
House of Representatives,
lUrrlsburg, Pa June 23, 1897.
Mr. J, George Elsele:
After a hard struggle In committee 1
succeeded in getting $30,000 for mainten
ance for Lackawanna hospital and $7,000
for the West Bale hospital, We are the
otily city that received an Increase, and I
feel very much elated thereby.
(Signed) Alex T. Connell.
, Dr. M. J. Williams, one of tho direc
tors of the West Side hospital, waa al
so seen. He said the $22,000 was naked
for with the Intention of applying $12.
000 upon the mortgage which stands
against the property. Tho remaining
$8,000 was to be applied to tho main
tenance of tho hospital. It was deem
ed necessary to have 14,000 each year
for tho two fiscal years.
Tho mortgage given at tho time of
tho purchase of the property of the
Thorn n b Phillips estate was $20,000 but
of this amount $500 has been paid,
leaving a balance of $19,500 td be met.
As It stands the Interest on this amount
will be pnld from tho $7,000 appropri
ated by the state and tho balance re
maining over and above tho actual
cost of maintenance will bo applied
to the principal. It Is thought that
another effort will bo made to have
the appropriations for tho two hospl
tnls increased. Tho amount allowed
tho West Side hospital Is an Increase
of $3,000 nbovo the last appropriation
which was only $4,000.
REPUBLICANS DID NOT ATTEND.
Kofusnto I'nrtlclpnto In tho Appoint
ment of mi Examining Itonril.
The Joint session of councils, called
by Mayor Bailey, to select a board to
examine candidates for the office of
building Inspector, did not materialize
last night.
The Republican members of select
council, believing tho law provided that
such a board is to be chosen by the
Mayor, declined to attend, and ns no
quorum could be secured no nttempt
was made to call tho meeting. The
section of the ordinance governing the
appointment reads as follows:
The Inspector of buildings shall be re
quired, before his appointment, to pass an
examination before a board composed of
two regular architects and three master
builders, which board shall be chosen by
tho mayor, and to produco to the select
council, on the occasion of his confirma
tion a certificate of competency from such
board.
The mayor says he is required to
consult councils In the selection of the
board. Councils, or nt least the Re
publican members, do not want to
be consulted, and hence the dispute.
A year ago a similar .move was made,
but as It was then apparent that the
mayor was trying to oust Mr, Nelson
before his term expired, the Republi
cans refused to have nnything to do
with the matter. As a u "lit Mr. Nel
son continued In olllce.
An adjourned business meeting of
the upper branch was scheduled for
last night, but It, too, had to go by the
board.

It SuHcrcd No Interference from the
Fall ofltain.
Tho open air band concert at the
Country club last night took place,
notwithstanding the rain, which did not
begin to fall until the conclusion of the
programme by Bauer's band.
The grounds were attractively illu
minated. Prom the flag staff were em
blazoned the letters "C. C. S.," while
beneath and suspended about the pole
was a circle of Japanese lanterns. Be
neath this the band played. There was

ADDRESS TO THE
KNIGHTS OF MALTA
Delivered by State Supreme 'Recorder
Pierce, of Philadelphia.
WAS PRECEDED BY A BANQUET
Over 000 of tho Knights Mnrclicd
Over Soma of tho Streets of the Con
trnl City, nnd Then Proceeded to
tho Pen n AvQiuiq Ilnptlst Clmrcli,
Whcro Anniversary Exercises Woro
Conductcd--Ordor Is Illoro Than
800 Yenrs Old.
On St. John's day 849 years ago tho
traditions of the Knights of Malta Bay
that organization was ushered Into ex
istence. Last night the local Knights
celebrated tho birth of their order at
a meeting held In Penn avenue Bap
tist church. State Supreme Recorder
George II. Pierce, who came up from
Philadelphia to participate in the cele
bration gavo excellent proof of the an
cient origin of the organization. Prior
to tho meeting In tihe church the
Knights paraded the streets of the cen
tral city.
About 600 men were In line and
Crumps band was In evidence at the
head of the column. The West Side
Commandery, Electric City No. 177,
numbering 160 Knights, met the other
commanderles on Wyoming avenue.
W. II. Powell, captain general of tho
Electrio organization, was also chief
marshal of the parade. He wns as
sisted by C. T. Robertson and Thomas
S. Davy, both of the West Side organ
ization. The other organizations In
line were Anthracite Commandery No.
11, of the central city with 200 men,
under Captain General Beemer; Gen
eral Grant Commandery, No. 230, of the
South Side, with 95 men under Captain
General Houser. and Eastern Star
Commandery, No. 213, with 100 men,
Captain General Smith commanding.
THE LINE OP MARCH.
The route of march was down Spruce
street to Penn avenue to Lackawanna,
to Wyoming to Penn and to tihe Penn
avenue church, The Knights en
tered the mala auditorium in twos,
taking the central division of pews
and remaining standing until the or
der to "be seated" was given. The
colors were placed In front of the pul
pit and facing the audience.
The scene was striking. The pulpit
had been draped in the red, white
and blue and over It hung a magnlf
lclent Hag gracefully looped and a row
of potted greenplantsformedtheralltng
between the choir gallery and pulpit.
Along the sides In the two stripes of
pews non-memberB of the order, la
dles and gentlemen, were seated, and
In the center were the knights tak
ing up the whole space.
The soul stirring "Onward Christian
Soldiers!" was aung, Professor Haydn
Evans playing the organ. Rev. Jo
seph K. Dixon, D. D then cordially
welcomed the knights, and requested
Rev. George Walsh to offer prayer.
The reverend gentleman Is a member
of the order. The knights Joined In
the "Our Father" at the close, of the
exhortation.
RECORDER INTRODUCED.
Rev. Dixon then Introduced Supreme
Recorder Pierce, "who," said Dr. Dix
on, "not only has his head full of
Malta history, but also his heart. He
will speak on the 'History of the Or
der." Mr. Pierce then arose from his
seat on the platform and began his
address. He Is one of the leading spir
its In the American Knights of Malta
and Is a past supreme grand com
mander of that order. His address was
as Interesting as his personal appear
ance. He Is an erect, soldierly-look
ing man with kindly blue eyes, and Is
altogether a genial appearing person.
He wore the regalia of his exalted po
sition and a beautiful maltese em
blem adorned his breast.
Recorder Pierce talked In an Inter
esting way for an hour He chiefly re
cited the history of the order and
throughout held tho Interested atten
tion of the knights.
In Introducing his subject he spoke
of the "Old Knights of the Hospital
lers, Knights of St. John of Jerusalem,
Knights of Cypress, Knights of
Rhodes," who for centuries have been
known to Christendom and are now
the Knights of Malta." This was the
history of the order on which the
speaker expatiated.
GOOD DOES NOT PERISH.
He said that men do not willingly
let that which la good and true perish
from the face of the earth. Then he
took his hearers "away back in the
Dark Ages when men's minds were in
darkness and people had an Idea that
the Holy Land was a holy place." He
described the pilgrimage to Palestine
and among the pilgrims was one Peter
the Hermit. He It was who laid the
foundation for the great perennial or
der. Recorder Pierce spoke of the
crusades and traced the growth of the
order from a small band of men wor
shipping at the tomb In Jerusalem tp
the present day.
He also referred In passing to the
Knights Templars who he said were
a branch of the original Knights of
Malta. Recorder Pierce recited history
to show that the Knights Templar
became extinct. Their leader at tho
time of the alleged demise was snared
into the hands of the King of France
nnd he was beheaded. "The Knights
Templar charter was taken from them;
their property was given away and
they ceased to exist," said the speak
er. "That was the end of tho Tem
plars. Tho body we have today is
simply a representation of it."
THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.
The address had other equally as
combatltive points. Recorder Pierce
afterward told of tho "American spir
it" which caused tho cecesslon of the
American Maltas from the Scotch
head. Since that tlmo tho order In
this country has grown wonderfully.
Eighteen months ago there was not a
single Maltese Knight In Scranton;
now there are 811.
This statement was followed by ap
plause. After' the address a quartette
sang and tho meeting was dismissed
with benediction by Dr. Dixon.
MR. FLAHERTY'S RESIGNATION.
Has Not Yet Ileen I'lnccd In the
Hnnds of Mayor llnilcy.
Even If the select council had met last
night the members of U would not have
hoard anything from Mayor Bailey
concerning the case of Patrolman Mar
tin Flaherty. Mayor Bailey said yester
day with reference to the matter:
"Mr. Flaherty has been suspended by
Chief Robllng and has admitted to tho
truth of the charges made against him,
and has also promised to hand me his
resignation. He has not done so as
yet and many ot his friends have urged
me, to reinstate him on the.force, l dp
not thlni; I enn do that, howeyer, ns It
Is the second time Mr, Flaherty has
nad scrjous charges, preferred against
him wltMn two months.
"When tha select council holds Its
next regular meeting I will probably
prctent Mr. Flaherty's resignation or
removal for cause, and also name his
successor.
