Tho near future will witness an nddl tlon to 'the present number of new buildings conducted by the city's char itable organizations. Tills was decided nt yesterday's annual meeting and elec tion of St. Joseph's society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Children and Aged Persona. The society Is best known In Its management ot St. Jo seph's foundling homo on Jefferson avenue. At yesterday's meeting, which was held In College hall, the plans of Ar chitect Perclvnl J. Morris for a new building were finally accepted and the decision reached to erect the structure nt an early day. The land Is already possessed by the society, It having been given by the late John B. Smith, of Dunmore. The plot Is located near the new Home for the Friendless In tho North Park district. The building Is to cost about $35,000, Including the heating and ventilating system. While not of largo proportions the building is to contain some of the best and most complete conveniences and sanitary features known to present-day architectural and building sci ence. It Is to be of yellow brick with stone trimmings and will consist of three stories and a basement. The so ciety has nearly $10,000 la Its treasury and will receive much of the neces sary balance from collections and sub scriptions In this Catholic diocese, the society being a diocesan Institution. It Is expected that enough money will be secured In the near future to warrant awarding the contract during the com ing spring. THE OFFICERS. Rev. P. J.

FUNERAL OF MRS. B0UT0N. Was Held Yesterday nt Her Lnto Home nn Miidison Avenue Tho funeral of Mrs. Sarah C. Bouton was held at her late residence on Madi son avenue yesterday. Many friends who had known and loved the gentle lady, whose beautiful life had so se renely closed, crowded the rooms. As one of the oldest residents of tho city, Mis. Bouton's death recalled many details of its early history. She was one who lived quietly, aside from the world that only those who were closest to her realized the place she held In many hearts. Possessed of a mind of rare culture and many graces of per sonality, she was one of the older gen eration distinct In typo and too sel dom found. Rev. Dr. Logan, assisted by Rev. Dr. James McLeod and Rev, J. L. Alrlch, officiated at the service. Dr. Logan spoke with emotion of the deceased, mentioning In the course of his re marks that It was Just past thirty years since she brought her letter to his church, of which she became a member. A quartette composed of the Misses Rose, Messrs Newton Croft and Fritz Prank sang favorite hymns. The Interment will be made this morning at Tunkhannock. The pall bearers will be T. F. Penman, Louis Smithing, II. C. MacKenzle and Henry Bourns. ACCUSED OF BUKQLARY. Dennis Runno Arrested for the Mnnsic Depot Aflnlr. The mysterious and successive burg laries at the Mooslc and Steel works f i eight depots of the Delaware nnd Hudson company are, it Is said, about to Ik cleared up. Yesterday Dennis Ruane, a young man, was arrested on a warrant swornt out by Detective Crlppen, ot the Delaware and Hudson company, charging Ruane with the burglary of the Mooslc depot on the night of September 10, 1897. In that instance tho stolen goods consisted of 21 pairs of shoes, 1 suit of clothes and sundry other articles. De tective Crlppen has been at work on the case Blnce. Ruane and two other young men were suspected nnd yes terday the warrant for Ruane was placed In tho hands of Patrolmen Mc Mullen and Neuls. The young man was located In Horn's place, on Franklin avenue, and was placed under arreBt. He was taken to the central police station, where he re mained over last night. He makes no confession, but pleads not guilty. The hearlns In the case will be thla morning, Ruanc's home Is In Belle vuc. He is a middle-aged man. , v THE PATIENT RETURNED. Discharged Hospital Subject In Need ot" I'urllicr Relief. Tho fate which follows poor Anthony Daccy will today see him In the Hlll sldo Home, a man broken in health and mind, wrecked nnd helpless for all time. He Is a foreigner, tho worso for him, for his friendliness Is the moro marked and pathetic. Ho Is alone In a big country, nnd he can't even think of the friends over the ocean. Yesterday, after a few days' aimless wandering about; he lay down to sleep In an old shanty at tho North mill of tho Lackawanna Iron and Steel com pany. Hero he was discovered and was taken In tho police patrol to the central station. His condition nlnrmed tho ofllcers. They at first thought him to bo a tramp. Then a bare spot on his head was noticed, showing a deep ridge In the bone. His face was thin, tho flesh pale, and he could not talk. In this condition Daccy was taken to the Lackawanna hospital, where tho resident physician was summoned nnd, after looking nt Dacey, said: "Why, this fellow was discharged from the hospital only last Saturday." It was Anthony Dacey, who one Sat urday night fell down a flight of steps at the Coyne House nnd sustained a fractured skull. For six weeks ho lay at the hospital. At first he could not tell his name. Then, after 78 hours' unconsciousness, he said "Anthony Dacey," and tho patient in the next bed heard It. Finally he recovered and was dis charged Saturday. Ills movements after leaving the hospital until he was found yesterday are unknown. He will bo sent to the homo today. COAL TRADE FIGURES. Years of 1896 nnd 1897 Were Marked by a Decline In the Output In crease Is to Come. There aro many reasons for believing that the Improvement which has com menced In the condition o the anthra cite coal trade will continue steadily. The coming year offers, In the growth of prosperity in commerce and manu facturing, nn opportunity for tho an thracite trade to resume Its normal rato of growth. Both 1696 and 1S97 were years of a declining output, but look ing over the course of the trade since its beginning, It may be seen that tho same thing has occurred at more- or less regular Intervals, and Invariably been followed by a year In which .the output increased In the ratio which has been followed prior to the decline. Tho following figures on this point will be of Interest: Shipments. Increase Tons. Tons. 1S70 10,182,191 6,5,00 1S73 19,712,472 3.5JIV.M 1?K) 23,437,212 3,724,770 1SS")..i 31,fi23,5oU S,lii;,2yS 1S.P0 3S,G13,4J9 4,'JJl,,jrj 1S95 40,511,177 ll.WWUS The statement below, showing the change by years, Is even more inter esting: Per Cent. 1SS0 Decrease .... 10.3 1&.S1 Incieabe .... 21.4 1SS2 " .... 2.2 lf3 " .... 9.3 Its I Decrease .... 3.4 1SS3 Increase .... 2.9 1SSG " .... 1.6 1SS7 " .... 7.8 1SSS " .... 10.1 1SS9 Decrcaso ....

If this general ratio were continued, It would point to a pro duction of considerably over fifty mil lion tons three years hence, and this is substantiated in the second .table, which shows that in eighteen years there have been six In which the output decreased, and twelve when it In creased, The average decrease was 6.0 per cent, from the previous year, and the average Increase 6.9 per cent. It Is not logical to suppose that a rate of progression which has been continued for so long a period will sud denly change. It Is, on the contrary, reasonable to assume Its continuance in either an Increasing or decreasing ratio. If this average of Increase bo applied, the output in 1S9S would be calculated nt about forty-four million tons. Applying It further for 1899 and 1900, would show an output In the lat ter year, as already" stated, of over fifty million tons. OBITUARY. Mrs. Bertha Frank, CO jears old, widow of Manassa Frank, died yesterday morn ing at her home on North Washington avenue. Sho had been In poor health tor many years. In 1S33 Mrs. Frank came from Bavaria to Ogdenshurg, N. V., where bho resided until her husband's death when sho moved to Scranton. She Is survived by four children. Mrs. J. J.

COMPULSORY NON-SUIT REFUSED Jury In tho Cuse ot McCoy tilnm Company Against the I.ncknwnnnn 'Hardware Company 1-lnds tor the I'lulnllir After Allowing nn Offset. Trnctlon Compnny Called Upon to Defend n $2,000 Dnniago Suit. Verdict Against Tn)lor Borough. Judgo Gunster refused tho motion for a non-suit In the case of O'Malley ngalnst the Trnctlon company, yester day morning, and directed tho com pnny to proceed with Its defense. Tho entire day was taken up with the hear ing of the defendants' Bide and a good part will, It Is probable, be likewise consumed. The claim of tho defense Is that Motorman LIsk, who was In charge of tho enr which ran down O'Malley, saw the asphalt men on the road when hs was several hundred feet away from them and as he approached where they were working, gave the usual alarm by Wnglng fhe bell. All the men got out of the way, but when the car was a few feet from where the repairing was going on O'Malley walked directly In front of the car and bent over as If to proceed with his work. The motorman i evorsed tho power, but the car could net bo stopped In time to prevent It from hitting him. It was also held that the car was proceeding nt a slow pace at the time, with the power 'turned oft ond moving only by the gravity of tho slight decline at that point. VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF. In the case of the McCoy Glass com pany agatnst the Lackawanna Hard ware company, tho Jury yesterday brought In a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $525.75. Judge Love di rected that the Jury could not allow more than the price of one car of glass as an offset. The Jury allowed this much, thereby making It a drawn battle. Another Traction company case was called before Judge Love, when the McCoy case had been disposed of. Uriah McDonnell Is the plaintiff. He claims $3,000 damages from the Trac tion company for disturbing the grade of the street In front of his property on North Main avenue, near the Mar vine crossing, and causing, as he al leges, tho water from the street to run In on his yard. The company alleges that no dam age has resulted and that none are likely to result. At the request of Major Everett Warren and Hon. C. P. O'Malley, of counsel for the defend ant, the Jury and Judge Love went to the scene In a special car to view the ground. When they returned Mr. Soper began the presentation of. tes timony for the plaintiff. The case was on at adjournment. Tho drawing of a Jury was enlivened a little by the action of Juror W. Haydn Evans In requesting to be ex cused because he was prejudiced against P. W. Gallagher, the special agent of the company. He had had some dealings with tho company through Mr. Gallagher and was "best ed" and he didn't like the methods the special agent pursued. Mr. Gallagher blushed at the unintended compliment and the juior was excused. s DR. PORTEUS WON. In the case of Dr. J. S. Porteus against the borough of Taylor, a ver dict for $330 damages In favor of the plaintiff was directed to enter. This Is one of tile cases growing out of the changing of the grade of Main street, at tho time the street car tracks were laid. Slow progress Is being made with this week's common pleas list, owing to the fa ft that Major Warren, Judge Jes sup and O'Brien & Kelly, who became tied up In long-winded cases, are In terested In twenty-one of the thirty five cases that are open for trial. By reason of this, Judge Archbald, who Is In the main court room, Is having a veritable vacation. SOUTH SIDERS ON THE ALERT. Will Wntcli tho Sewer Bids in Coun cils Till Evening.
