It It Proposed to Multo It in a Sonsa n Homo lor Young Mcn--I(" tha Wyoming Avenue Lots Cnu Ho Sold Another Nlto Will Ho Obtnlnod. Properties Thnt llnvo Ilcen Sug gested lor Now llullding-t''inntictiil Condition ol'Astocliition. At n meeting of tho trustees of the Young Men's Christian association In the olllco of Colonel II. M. Boles yes terday, tho following appeal "to the cit izens of Scranton" was drawn up. In tho destruction of our Young Men's Christian association building, a great dlsnster has befallen our city. It is tho first serious public calamity, affecting all classes of our people nlllte, which has ever overtaken us Tho loss of property Is great, but that wo can restore. Tho unfortunato loss of precious life which has followed tho ravuges of llro Is ir teparable, but wo can do something to comfort the widow and fatherless, and rellovo their necessities. Theso things which wo can do we should do. Wo led confident you will do them. Tho building which was burned, ns he rapidity of Its ruin has inado evident, was exceedingly dangerous for the public uses to which It was devoted. Often over a thousand people within its walls have been exposed to the dangers which so suddenly destroyed it after it hod closed lis doors Thursday night. The work of tho association hud outgrown Its accom modations. Nor was It designed to meet the present requirements of highest use fulness, although It Is dltlicult to esti mate how much of our present prosper ity, our rapid growth In population, large ly duo to the high charncter nnd reputa tion wo enjoy, Is duo to tho Influences this association has thrown around tho young men who have grown up In bcran ton during the last thirty years of its existence here. Wo believe It Is not too much to say that every property holder In our city, every person who now en Joys Its privileges and opportunities, owes no small percentage of all he has ac quired or values here to these potent In lluences, which, like the rain ot tho heav ens, have fallen on .all alike. AMOUNT EXPENDED. The trustees of tho Young Men's Chris tian association have expended upon this property since March, 18S3, Including the $5,000 given by Mrs. F. A. Ilackley to de fray tho cost of the plant, and fixtures for the Installation of the John Raymond Institute and Manual Training school, the sum of $101,232. We estlmato tho valuo of other contributions by tho di rectors nnd public In furniture. Improve ments, library, etc., at $10,000: making a total cost of our loses, $111,232. Wo estimate tho present assets ot tho association to be tho value of the two lots on Wyoming avenue, at $$00 per front foot, $GI,0O; the total amount of insur nnco on building and furniture, $5S,UOO; John ltaymond endowment fund, $30, 000; a total of $132,000, which important amount Is Idle nnd Inproductlve without a sultublo home and building for tho association. What Is needed now Is a lire-proof building, tho ilrst four stories of which should contain stores to rent for Income, a good hall, gymnasium, swimming and other baths, ollices, read ing rooms, parlors, class and manunl training rooms, and at least throe stories of dormitories nnd rooms for sin gle young.men, which can be rented, Miy nt an average of $2.00 a week, to tho number of at least 100, together with apartments for the secretaries and em ployes, a cafe, kitchen and roof garden. In short, a Christian home for the home less young men of our city. Wo estimate that such a home can be provided If you will contribute by your subscriptions the sum of $100,000, which has been destroyed by the flames. In tho hope that you will do this, a few subscribers have already pledged, on con dition the whole amount Is raised, $30,000. Tho subscriptions are made payable in live equal annual installments, so that tho burden may bo as light as possible. SUBSCRIPTIONS ASKED. Will evcryono who will recognize his obligations to the association, and wishes Its highest future usefulness, evcryono who Is Interested In the salvation nt young men, and the future of Scranton, send to any member of the board ot trustees, whatever subscription ho or she can make to this cause, whether small or great; and do It now; In order that fi may know without delay what plans to adopt for immedluto reconstruction? We will seo as many as we can; wo cannot seo nil. We will endeavor to ex ecute your wishes prudently nnd faith fully. Let us erect a noble monument to tho Christianity and Philanthropy of Scranton, and lot everybody havo an In vestment of money In It. V. R. Storrs. Vice President. A. W. Dickson, E. B. Sturges, , For the Board of Trustees. 11. M. Boles. Secretary und Treasurer. Hon. William Connell, president of the board of trustees, which consists of live membeiH, was unable to attend the meeting owing to a business en gagement which called him from the city, W. R. Storrs was chosen vice president nnd presided over the meet ing. E. L. Fuller was elected a trus tee to fill the vacancy on the board caused by the death of James Blair. A letter was read from W. D. Mossman, of New Haven, Conn., the first secre tary of the association, expressing his sympathy at the loss the association had sustained In the destruction of the building. SITES PROPOSED. Several sites were discussed by the trustees for tho new building. It will Ilrst bo necesHary to dispose of the present lots. If this ran be done a tlto will bo selected elsewhere. The Pierce property on Washington ave nue, near Vine street, which Is now occupied by P. S. Page, was offered for $40,000. The plot of ground on which the house stands Is 120 by 160 feet In size. The Stewart property on Spruce street, occupied by the Gorman stable, !c also being considered. It Is 65 by 230 feet In size and is considered one of the most valuable pieces of real es tate In the city. Attorney Kulp, of Wllkes-Barre, was In the city yester day und dlscuesed a price for it with members of the bourd of trustees. The latter are very much In favor of securing a property that will be more desirable than the Wyoming ave rue site for the work of the associa tion nnd tl ey also earnestly desire to nre't a building after the nlan out. lined In the appeal to the end that the association may be of the greffst pos-f-'ul'- service to the young tn-n of this community. ' m APPEALS BEQIN TODAY. Iloaid Will Moot tho Sixth Ward Com pliiinunu nt t'itr Hull. The board of revision and appeal will begin Its work today. The Sixth ward Is scheduled for a hearing today. Judging from tha unusual number of Inquiries made at the city clerk's olllce tho appeals tills year will he larg er than In any previous assessment. In- the three central city wards the assessment 1ms been based on an In creased valuation of property. Tho hearing' In these wards -will conic up during the last three days of the week. Tho meetings will bo hold In the front room, formerly a reception room, on the second Hour of the city hall. EXCEPTIONALLY FINE PR0QRAMME. Will 11 o Rendered nt Pure Pood Show Wpdnrndny. Those who failed to listen to the re cent delightful concert given by Bau er's band In tho Lyceum have prob ably wondered why there has not been a repetition of It. This would hardly seem necessary In view of tho delight ful scries of concerts that are being given at the Pure Food Exhibit In Jonas Long's Sons' Store. Particularly will this bo true at tho 'concert to be given there Wednesday afternoon this wpk. Prof. Bauer has nrranged an excep tionally fine progiamme for that day which will Include speclnl polos by a number of his best artists nnd In addi tion the full orchestra wilt render a number of their descriptive pieces which have become so popular. Tak ing Into consideration that these con certs aro free to all. It Is little wonder that enormous crowds are present there every day. Wednesday's attendanco promises to exceed that at uny of tho mevlous ones. PARTNER'S DISAGREE. Intervention il the Court Asked to Prevent nu Alleged Injustice. Trouble thnt evolved nn Injunction from court, has arisen between two factors of tho directorate of the Colllns llale Furnlturo Manufacturing com pany. W. W. Van Dyke, A. L. Collins and W. F. Van Dyke are the complainants, nnd C. E. Spoerl, John Kashonbach and C. E. Hale aro tho nllesod offenders. Tho company was organized In 1896, with a capital stock of $40,000. Of this amount, $23,600 has been paid In, the stockholders contributing as follows: W. W. Van Dyke and John Kashen bach, $5,000 each'; C. E. Spoorl, $2,000; C. E. Hale, $1,500. At the nnnual meeting held Jan. 7, 1S98, Messrs. Spoerl, Kashonbach, Hale, W. W. Van Dyke and Collins were chosen directors nnd these afterwards selected W. W. Vnn Dyke as president, and W. F. Van Dyke, son of tho former, secretary and treasury. Ignoring this agreement, so It Is al leged, Mesrrs. Spoerl, Kashonbach and Halo met together and named Kashon bach for president and Spoerl for sec retary nnd treasurer. They then pro ceeded to call a meeting of the direc torate for Feb. 7, yesterday, at 9 o'clock a. m., with the purpose In mind of Issu ing $15,000 of the treasury stock to Spcerl for a one-half Interest for nn unpatented Invention, a machine for 'tufting," which It Is clali ed Is not worth more than $20o at the most. To give $15,000 for Spoerl's nlleged interest in tho Invention, as was pro posed to do, would be fraud and the height of folly, it was contended, nnd court was asked to stop In nnd prevent it. An Injunction was granted as rrayed for, returnable Fob. Utli. J. W. 73rown lng, John F. Scragf and Wlllard, War ren and Knapp represented the com plainants. MR. FOX'S NEW POSITION. Will IIo Employed by the Snmo Com ptiiiviiH I'ormorlv. A special dispatch to The Tribune last night, dated Wilmington, Del., gave this Information: "An officer of the Wilmington Electric Railway company stated tonight that the con trolling Interest of the company had been bought by E. W. Clark & Co., of Philadelphia. The same syndicate have recently secured control of the Chester line and both railways will be operated under the same management. "Robert Fox, who has been superin tendent of tho Scranton, Pa., lines, reached here tonight and will be man ager of both the Wilmington and Ches ter system. The new company will probably build a line from Gordon Heights to connect with .mo trolley system of Chester, making a through trolley system between Wilmington and Philadelphia. ANNUAL MEETINQ HELD.

Tl3 fie 1 fio- 4 . llBlll ilpinau CISNEROS LEAD THE GRAND MARCH Annual Masquerade Ball of the Scran ton Lelderkranz, WAS A VERY PLEASANT AFPAIR Opened with n Hurlcttn Itoproiontlng Carl Decker Going to Cubu nnd IlcRCiilns Mil Cisneros Thnt She Might Ho 1'rliiccss oi tho I.lcdcr hrtmz Cnrnlvnl - Mnnquornders ill ore .Sumo roil s Thnn Usual. Evangellna Cosslo Y Cisneros was not rescued In vain. She acted as Prin cess of the carnival last night, at the twenty-ninth annual ball of the Scran ton Llederkranz, ut Music hall. It was possibly the wittiest and pret tiest little concert with which a Lle derkranz ball has ever been opened. The stage was very tastefully nrrang ed, the costuming was ridiculously funny and the mechanical effects were n mirth provoking travewty on the modern stage realism. First was shown a ship departing from America with gallant Paul Deck er (Louis Relchart) aboard. Arriving at Cubn, some ten feet away, ho Is re ceived by his confederates two Ameri can newspapermen (Isadore Ross and Philip Wagner) and after saying a whole lot of happy things, which no Spaniard could ever make out, they priceed .to nesault the Jail. The now historic ladder Is placed across from tho adjoining building to the wall of tho Jail and lo! the happy Miss Cisneros (more familiarly known hereabouts as William Vockroth) makes her appearance at the Jail win dow and climbing out Is escorted across the ladder to safety and .the tuno of "Home, Swet Home." After the risky ladder walking act in over the character of Cisneros Is as sumed by Miss Minnie Welker, the handsome young daughter of II. Wel ker, proprietor of "The" Fashion." While the band plays "The Star Span gled Banner" the ship reaches New York nnd as soon as Miss Cisneros reaches land she Is told by Carl Decker that he has brought about her rescue that she might be the Carnival Prin cess at the twenty-ninth annual ball of the Scranton Llederkranz. iShe now doubly thanks him and accepting the proffered hand of the Carnival Prince, Otto Stoeckle, she comes down from the stage und starts the grand march with four llower girls In her train, Lottie Vockroth, Lena Relchart, Lillian Grelglesteln and Christine Zenke. In other respects the ball was equally as successful. The number of mas quers was larger If anything than usu al and the character of the costumes was equally as rich and varied as on previous occasions. The decorations by Fuhrmnn wore very tasteful. Bau er's orchestra furnished the music. J. D. Ferber. Louis Relchart. Isidore Roos, Victor Wenzel and Charles Nler was this year's committee of arrange ments. RECEPTION FOR REV. AND MRS. GIFT.
