OBITUARY.
Michael J. Howley, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Anthony J. Howley, ot 51S (lordon slr.-et,
died yesterday alternoon after a brief III.
ness. Ho was 21 years ot ago and a
voting man of sterling qualities, with a
might nnd promising future betoro him
The news of h's untimely and unexpect
ed death will bo a sad shock to n largo
circle of admiring acquaintances. Ilesldes
his parents, two brothers and two sisters
survive him. John T., MiVtln, Tessiu and
May. The funeral will take place Wed
nesday morning at 9 o'clock from St.
1'eter's cathedral.
Mrs. J. L. Fordham, of Green Itldge,
died Saturday morning ot pneumonia af
ter nn illness of only a week's duration.
I'P till Thursday no serious apprehension
was fi-lt for her, but on that day cun.e
a sudden charge for the worse and her
decline was rapid. The news of her
death was received with the deepest sad
ness throughout the wholo city and In
Green Ridge, where she had lived for so
mam- vears It was regarded as a be
reavement to the wholo community. The
Interment, which will take place this nf
ternoon. will bo private. The services
will be at tho homo ut 3 o'clock.
Tho Scrnnton board of trade has not
had a meeting In many months. At
the last session of that organization It
was decided to adjourn to meet again
at the call of tho president, upon tin;
request of a quorum of members, and
so, llternfly speaking, the body is dead.
Among the few energetic members of
the organization a movement Is now on
foot to reorganize.
John Scheuer, M. P. Judge, Henry
Spruks and Ambrose Hertz are circu
lating nbout among the ninny board of
trado members and Mr. Scheuer, in an
Interview with a Tribune reporter,
stated that tho Indications are that at
nn early date the board will be again
alive nnd vigorously at work. When
asked why an organization that has
done so much to build up this part of
the city should pass almost Into ob
livion, Mr. Scheuer stnted that tho
query was not an easy one to nnswer,
from tho fact that he was at a loss to
understand why the business men of
this side do not more liberally appre
ciate the worth of the board of trade.
For the past four years the board has
endeavored to have the Delaware nnd
Hudson Canal company purchase the
properties of Mrs. Melvln, Peter Mc
Govern, Mrs. Shaughsney, Mrs. Mul
doon, the Crane and Barrett estates,
on Remington avenue, to build a BUlt
nblo passenger stutlon and freight
depot. The erection of a modern freight
depot would be of great benefit to the
Lackawanna mills, Skranton Button
company, Scheuer Bros., the oaKers;
Mulherln & Judge, the lumbermen; the
Scranton Axle works, tho South works,
Hand's and Casey & Kelley's brew
eries, Sauquolt, Harvey's, Meadow
Brook and the Simpson silk mills, and
scores of other South Side business es
tablishments. Owing to the lack of
shipping facilities at the Delaware and
itudson depot, tho most convenient
point for the Industries mentioned,
freight has to be carted over to the
Central road, by the way of the Elm
street bridge. At one time negotiations
for the purchase of the properties ad
jacent to the present small building of
the Delaware and Hudson, on Reming
ton nvenue, were under way, but the
prices asked by two ot the six owners
were so high that the company aban
doned negotiations. John Scheuer and
M. P. Judge, ex-president and president
of the board of trade, have undertaken
the task of having Mr. Manville, of the
Delaware and Hudson company, again
consider the necessity of the purchas
ing of the needed ground. That gentle
man has consented to meet them, nnd
W. T. Hnckett, the real estate man,
who secured options on the properties.
The prices asked are more reasonable
than those at llrst demanded.
Messrs. Judge and Scheuer believe
that with the reorganization of the
board of trade nnd the Injection of
some of the hustling spirit our busi
ness men are noted for, a deal can be
consummated that will result In bring
ing about a much-needed Improvement
nnd nt tho same time put the board of
trade on a sound basis.
