Dr. and Mrs. Gates nre enjoying a visit
flora Mrs. Gates' father, Itev, Ransom
Dunn. Yesterday was his eightieth birth
day, nnd telegrams und letters ot con
gratulation wero received from friends In
various parts of tho country. Dr. Dunn
has been over CO years In the ministry,
and moro than 44 years a professor in
HillsdJlo college. One of the features of
the commencement was tho presentation
to Dr. Dunn of a gold headed cane nnd
of a volume of autograph testimonial let
ters from many friends. These letters
from ministers whom ho has baptized
and prominent professional and business
men who have been under his Instruc
tion, are Interesting souvenirs of a long
und useful llfo with wide influence.
Friends who have met Dr. Dunn while
In the city called last evening nt the
home of Mrs. Gates to greet this able
and Interesting gentleman. They And
him far from an old man, but full of
vigor of Intellect and rich stores of
knowledge and a flno sense ot humor,
making him a most acreeablo compan
ion. He Is Hn eloquent public speaker.
Dr. Robinson, of this city, heard him
when a young man, and says that tho
sermon left a deep Impress on his llfo
and Influenced his decision to become a
preacher. Dr. Logan also knew of the
work of Dr. Dunn In tho days when both
were pioneer preachers In the wpst.

to secure new subscriptions.

SELECT COUNCIL
REFUSES TO ACT
Will Not Furnish School Board
Copy ol Assesiment.
with
FACTS IN CONTROVERSY SliT FORTH
IN A liat-OKT PRCSKNTUD FOR
th1j judiciary comm1ttkm by
mr. sandkrs.on - resolution
that accompanied tih3 rul'ort.
a copy of them will ui3
si:rvi:d on thk board of con
trol. As predicted by The Trlbuno after It
had given proper publicity to tho mat
ter, select council has given n black
eye to the board ot control's proposi
tion that tho city furnish for the
board's use In recording tho school tax
n copy of tho recent assessment, ino
resolution requesting tho copy Involves
an expenditure of $800 nnd much
trouble lnstend of n cost of $100 nnd
little work under the previous system.
Thu pertinent facts In the contro
versy nro contained In a report made
by tho judiciary committee of select
council last night. The report was
rend by Mr. Sanderson and Is, In l'art,
as follows:
The section of tho net on which the de
mand Is bni-ed Is in follows, viz.: "Tho
city clerk or other competent person nu
thorlzed by city councils shall make for
tho udo of the school board u truo copy of
tho completed assessment nnd shall duly
cettlfy tho same to tho said board."
Nowhere In the act docs It provide for
compensation for this work. Tho city
clerk Is nn nfllcer of the city created by
act ot legislation, elected as prescribed
therein and his duties aro clearly de
fined nnd his salary fixed. This act at
tempts to add to thoso duties, which. If
ho Is compelled to perform, ho must per
form under tho ralary ho now receives
In other words, bo must do tedious and
expensive work for another corporation,
which derives Its own taxes and Is sup
posed to pay Its own expenses, under tho
salary ho receives from the city.
NO APPROPRIATION.
No appropriation lias been made for this
purpose nnd ncno ought to be. except un
der the stress of necessity. It has been
decided that where additional duties arc
Imposed on an olllecr without provision
for compensation, ho must perform them
under hlr existing salary.
But the act allows tho authorization by
city councils ot another "competent per
son." It seems to your committee, there
foie, that, as this Is work for the benefit
of the board of control, that competent
person Is tho crctnry or other person
designated by the board nnd wo herewith
report a resolution to that effect.
As the city, If It acceded to the de
mand of th" school hoard and directed
tho city clerk to do the work, might pos
sibly bo put to heavy expense, as a mat
ter of Justice to Its clerk und as we can
not think the board was awaro of the re
sults, we tako tho liberty of laying be
fore councils somo or" them: Heretofore
n column has been left In tho tax dupli
cate for the Insertion ot school taxes
which has been done by tho secretary
of tho board ot a cost of $100. In this
shape they have been handed over to thu
city treasurer and have facilitated the
work In his office by having but one set
of books to refer to. If tho board fol
low their present intention, the city ircas
urcr will havo to search two sets nt boo;s
or go to the expense of money and time
In having them copied into one book.
Wo aro infoirr.cd by the city clerk thnt
tho copying of tho assessment books
would Involve an expense of nt least $100;
that tho cost to the school beard of mal
ing the duplicate would amount to as
much more and thus nn additional cost
to tho taxrnycrs of $700 over tho cost
of the old method, which was J100, would
be Incurred. Wo nro further Informed
that copies could not bo furnished Inside
ot twenty-five days, that twenty days
would be consumed In making the dupli
cate and at least ten days would be nec
essary for the city treasurer to copy th'-'tn
Into one book, or nearly two months
before taxes could bo coleeted. If ono
person attempted to copy the assess
ments nnd make the duplicates It would
take three months.
JUSTICK OF DEMAND.
In view of these facts It Is difficult
for your committee to realize the Jus
tlco of the demand of tho school board.
It seems to us that the heard was not
awaro of the attendant cxpenso to the
taxpayers and that due regard for their
Interests would at least permit the fol
lowing of the (del method at a cost of JIM
against a cost of $S00 If tho new Is fol
lowed. The following resolution recom
mendeil by the committee accompanied
the report: "That the secretary of tho
board of control of the Scranton City
School district or any other compe
tent person designated by said board
Is hereby authorized to make copies
for the use of said board, of the city
assessment books for tho current year;
provided 'thai said copies must bo
made In the city clerk's office from
which the assessment books must not
bo removed, and, provided further, that
tho city shall bo liable for nnd put to
no expense on account of said copy
ing." The report and resolution were ad
opted along with Mr. Roche's amend
ment that a copy bo served on the
board of control.
CAPT. MAY DECLINES.
Would Ue Unnble to Accept Command
o( tho New Itoglmont.
Captain W. A. May, ex-commander
of Company D, Thirteenth regiment,
who hah been suggested for tho colonel
cy of the regiment that Is to succeed
the Thirteenth, would not accept the
post If It was tendered him. He made
that statement to a Trlbuno reporter
who questioned him yesterday on tho
subject.
"While I feel honored by being men
tioned for such a eionsplcuous and re
sponsible position," said Captain May,
"I could not accept It. My duties ns
a business man are too exacting to per
mit even a consideration of the thing
and they are steadily increasing. If I
war, moro independently situated I
would feel differently ubout it."
Captain May remarked, os a com
ment, that Ills position in the matter
was so well understood that his name
would never be formally suggested for
the command, much less would it ho
offered him.

Twenty-three persons from this coun

July Fourth off Sable Island, Halifax.
They secured passage at the olllce ot
Joseph Cnsscssc, of Lackawanna ave

In this nnd Luzerne counties.
Mr. Cnsscsse informd n Tribune re

the company would send him Immedi

company does as soon ns Information
Is obtainable in to notify its ngents,
especially those who sold passage on
the doomed ship, of the persons from
their respective territories who wero
saved. Ho had not lionrcl up to C

VERY SAD CASE.
Mrf. Mollnnrlo's case Is a sad 'one.
She was a handsome young woman, 27
years old. antl well-educated. Her
husbaml some months ago decided to
abandon the mines and go to Cnllfomla
to seak bettor employment. They had
enough money saved to allow her and
the children to take a trip to Genoa, the
city of her birth, and the day she left
last week for New York, he went to
San Francisco.
Sho did not want to take passage on
tho La Bourgogno, preferring a German
Lloyd steamship, which would land In
tho harbor ot her native city. Tho
French liner's destination was Havre,
and the journey from there to Genoa by
rail takes two days and two nights.
But lu view of tho number of Ital
ians nround hero who were going on
the La Bourgogne, sho dlssmlssed her
preference for the other line, saying as
she wns buying her ticket that she
knew she would regret It. She expect
ed to stay until tho fall in Genoa ami
roturn to join her husband In Califor
nia. Her youngest child was a baby,
three months old, and the other was 2
years of age. She has a sister, whose
husband conducts a saloon In Arch
bald. Tho husbands of tho four other fam
ilies lost wero employed In the mines
of William Connell & Co., at Duryea.
Lulgl Nasono was 10 years old and his
wife 33. Their four children were G
yenry 4 years. 2 years, and C months
ol.l, resrectlvely. They wero bound for
Milano, an Inland city of Italy, nnd
expected to return in tho course of a
few months.
EXPECTED TC RETURN.
Aurello Gavazzl was 2S years old and
his wife 27. Their children were 10
years, 6 years, 3 years, and 7 months
old, respectively. He was a first cousin
of Abramo Gavazzl, who was 30 yeais
old, whose wife was 29, and whose chil
dren were 5, 2 and i years, respectively.
Th.'se two families hoped to return in
the fall. They were bound for Milano
also.
Ferdinando Staftaronl and wife; were
the only ones of tho party bound for
their native land to stay. They wero
In the evening- of life, both over 60
years of ago. They had a small sum
of money saved and were looking for
ward to spending their declining years
in comfort. The -1-year-old nephew
they had with them was a son ot Mrs.
Staffaronl's brother, who resides In Du
