organized one in Brooklyn, which is

WILKES-BARRE IN A STEAL.
Adopts n Popular Scrnntoti Scheme
Without (Jiving Proper Credit.
Tho Scranton board of trade's certifi

of Its members against fake adver

entlrity at Monday nlgh't's meeting
of tho "Wllkes-Barro board of trade.
In their report of tho meeting, how
ever, the "Wllkes-Haire papeis fall to
give .the Pcrar.ton body credit for
the plan which has been put to use by
trade and commerce bodies In many
of the larger cities of tho state.
The form of certificate and placard
devised by Scranton'& secretary, D .13.

credit where it belongs Is immaterial
except as an illustration of AVllkcs

METHOD OF FIXING
THE CITY FINANCES
Estimates Committee Appears (o
Working Backwards.
Dt
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN POWER
Time nnd Troublo Could lie Snrod
by Ilcrlslug the 1807 Appropriations
Instead of Itoduclnc the 1808 Knti-mnto--Ono
Involves nn Addi
tion ol 910,000, tho Other n Do
crenso of 97,003.10 In Estimate
tho Disposition ot Amendments
Amounting In 8117,00:1,50.
it Is plain thnt the 1SS appropriation
oidlunnce cannot ptovlde for more
than about $10,000 more than was pro
vided In the appropriations for the
lUcnl enr now ending1. Last year's
appropriations uniounted to $2S5,211.2,"i
exclusive of JSS.MS for sinking fund
jind interest, for which nrovlson It
made Independent of the general city
expenses. Duilng 189S $293,100 will be
available for general city Items accord
ing to the city contt oiler's estimate.
The Democratic majority of the Joint
estimates committee does not appear to
realize the condition of affairs, or, If
they do, are pursuing an unbusinesslike
wny to meet the situation. On account
of their majority of one on tho commit
tee they have been privileged to pursue
their own plan. This consists of cut
tine down the 1SDS estimates ot $3GS,
093.40 to the levenuo of $29:i,100 Instead
of a quicker, fairer and easier method,
that of raising the 1897 appropriations
of $?S",241.23 to the estimated revenue
for 1S9S. The latter method would only
imolve the elimination of a few im
provement Items of 1SSJ7 and the dis
tribution among tho different depart
ments of the balance necessary to
make the total $293,100.
MUCH CUTTING NF.CESSAUY.
In addition to amendments amount -!njr
to $117,963.50, suggested after tho
regular depaitment es-tlmates had been
printed, the committee began its work
with department estimates amounting
to $72 993.40 move thnn the revenue.
On Monday evening the committee
lopped off $51,733 which leaves $13,238.40
to be cut nwuy, exclusive of the amend
ments. The estimates which haven't
been revised are those of tho flre, bulld
lns Inspector's, board ot health, public
library, paik. board of appeal, general
city nnd deficiency departments.
Last year the flro department was
appropriated $41,540.20. This year Chief
Hlckey estimates S43.331.09 as an
amount which is absolutely necessary
and submits a supplementary estimate
approved by the Joint flro department
committee of councils amounting to
SfiO.830. The larger Items of the supple
mentary estimate are $9,250 for the
purchase ot five alarm systems, $22,000
for n fire lieidauarters in the rear of
tho City Hall, $12,000 for a site and
building for Crystal Hose comnanv,
and a considerable sum for the extra
horses, permanent men nnd equipment.
The board of health wants $12,700,
an Increas-e of $fi,170. Of this sum $600
is for crematory repairs termed "ab
solutely necessary," $3,000 for the pur
chase of a crematory lot, $400 for an
iw to.ie in the secretary's salary, $100
for chemist fees, $600 for an additional
-(-sanitary olllcer and $'00 extra for office
expenses.
WHAT LIBRAIU WANTS.
The Scranton Public Library asks for
$12,560, or $1,160 more .than last year.
Of tho Increase $360 Is mentioned ns
positively necessnry for extra help and
lnci cased salaries and $S00 Is for new
sidewalks.
Tho lnrso sum of $10,917.25, an In
crease of $12,347.23, is asked by tho
park commissioners, $14,835 for Nav
Aug park, $1,562.23 fcr Connell park
anil $230 for Woodlawn park. This de
partment is one that tho estimates
committee would like to favor and
probably will but if it gets an increase
of $1,000 it will receive more than its
proportionate share of the $10,000 more
than last year to Iks distributed.
BIG INDUSTRY IN SIGHT.
Dcnl Is About Itcndy to Reach n
Favorable Conclusion.
Everything points toward a favorable
conclusion of tho deal now on between
a large . manufacturing concern nnd
local capitalists for the establishing of
the former's plant In this city. Com
ment was made upon the matter in
Saturday's Tribune, but for obvious
reasons the full particulars of the nego
tiations could not be given then nor
can they now. The board of trade Is
acting as Intermediary In the matter.
Representatives of the firm were in
the city Saturday and yesterday nnd
tho final propositions ha,ve been sub
mitted by all parties concerned in the
deal. The land for the plant has been
given by a well-known Scranton cap!
talist. .It Is proposed that local capital
shall erect tho mill, which Is to cost
about $40,000, the firm giving nn ample
bond to pay a G per cent,.rentni for five
years, to equip tho mill with $100,000
worth of machinery nnd to purchase
the property at Hs original cost at the
end of the five years.
The Tribune is Informed that pro
posals have already been received for
tho erection of the building, which can
be finished In four months from the
signing of the contract, and that the
project will likely reach a favorable
termination In a few weeks.

A FRIEND IN NEED.
Mrs. Eva Cutchln? Was Saved Irom
tbe County Jail by Deputy Sheriff
Frank Ryan.
An evident attempt at mean extor
tion was frustrated yesterday by the
keeness and kind heartednesa of Dep
uty Sheriff Frank Ryan.
Eva Cutchlns, a poor, frail-looking
Polish woman, of Dodgetown, was ar
rested last May and held to ball be
fore Alderman J. P. Kelly In the sum
of $500, M. Frochosky becoming her
bondsman. By reason of her Ignor
ance she was not on hand when her
case wafl called before the next suc
ceeding grand Jury nnd the bondsman
to protect himself took out a ball piece.
Where the ball piece has been all this
time does not develop, but when Mrs.
Cutchlns' husband left for Pittsburg
to look for work, Monday, the ball
piece was hunted up and yesterday
the woman with her year-old babe In
her nrms, was dragged Into the sher
iff office nnd surrendered.
Deputy Ryan did not like the Idea
of sending the unfortunate woman to
jail and he also did not like the looks
of the fellow who brought her In. Ho
had heard of this same Individual and
concluded that the fact that he was
connected with the case warranted an
Investigation. "Ikey"' Steinberg was
called In nnd Instructed to get at the
bottom of the matter. He did, and
when he made his report Deputy Ryan
said he'd be blowed, or something of
that kind if the woman would go to
jail.
"Well, sh can get ball: she has
money," the ball-broker sneaklngly
remarked.
"She can get ball without money,"
retorted Mr. Ryan in ungry tones,
"I'll go her ball myself."
District Attorney Jones wns sent for
nnd when he arrived the party repaired
to the office of Clerk or the Courts
Daniels.
"How much ball do you want in this
case?'" Inquired Mr. Ryan.
"What Is it; let's flee," and the dis
trict attorney scanned the ball piece.
"This fellow brought her In," Mr.
Ryan volunteered, pointing to the
cringing ball-broker.
"H'm,"' said Mr. Jones In a mean
ingful way, as his eyes rested on tho
Individual pointed to. "I guess It will
be all right to let her go on her own
recognizance. Fill out a blank Tom
my." Clerk Daniels proceeded with the nec
essary formalities and then Deputy
Ryan said "Tell her go home."
"Ikey" Steinberg told her of what
had occurred and that she should be
around on April IS to appear In court.
She stopped her crying and wiping- her
eyes began looking around for the per
son who had befriended her. He hadn't
waited to be thanked. He was back nt
his desk plodding over a pile of legal
papers as high as his head.

It Is the first time such a praecipe
has ever been encountered In the coun
ty, according to the best recollection of
Deputy Rynn, and what he doesn't
know about county history isn't worth
knowing. It Is probably all right and
perfectly legal, but the sheriff's ofllce
hasn't been able as yet to discover just
what some of the things in It mean.
The United States of it is thnt there
Is a lawsuit pending up In Ransom be
tween Michael Gllmore on the one side
and Joseph Klrcher and Amos Huns
myer on the other. Gllmore, It ap
pears, contracted to buy a strip of the
old Kern farm In Ransom from Susan
Klrcher, one of the Kern heirs. He
gave a $2,000 judgment note, which
was to be satisfied at the rate of $100
a month. Gllmore defaulted in the
payments and the KIrchers proceeded
to recover the land. Gllmore alleges
that last fall he locked up the prem
ises and moved to Wyoming county.
When he returned he learned, so he
alleges, that Joseph Klrcher and his
hired man, Amos Hunsmyer, had forced
an entrance to" the place, presumably
to take possession in Susan Klrcher's
name.
For this forcibly entry Gllmore now
seeks damages and the Justices of the
peace of the township, moved by his
nppeal, have resorted to this antique
method of settling the question.

"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano Is first-class in every respect."
