fully 1,000 carriers will paitlelpate. To
properly prepare for the entertainment
of these delegates and the eatrleis It
will be necessary to make extensive
arrangements. It is estimated that it
will be necessary to raise $1,000 to de
fray the expenses of the convention.
In opening the meeting last night Mr.
Bedford stated the object of the gath
ering, the number of persons who will
have to be entertained and the neces
sity of raising a suflleient amount of
money to properly do this with credit
to the city.
Mr. Bedford then called upon Post
master Ripply for a few remarks. Col
one! Ripple said this convention would
be a big affair for the city and some
thing that should not be plated entire
ly on the shoulders of the ninllcanicrs.
The delegates ought to be properly en
tertained, that they may go to their
homes with a good impression of Scran
ton and her hospitality.
PROPOSED PROG R-MM I'.
John H. Phillips, chairman of the
carriers' executive comiiiittee.explalncd
the manner in which the carriers are
usually entertained at these conven
tions, with special referent e to the

some menno other than that of tho
firemen, who will have to raise a lurge
amount of money for their state con
vention, which will be held here In
October. The firemen ate considering
the advisability of holding a large fair
and It would therefore hi. hst If pos

some other means.
.Major W. S. Millar said he did not
think there would be any trouble In
raising the necessary amount of money.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
Members of the Poor Board Remem
ber Their Chavges Will Add
a Dollar to Amounts Allot
ed for December.
As a Christmas gift to those who ore
receiving outdoor relief from the poor
board, it was voted on motion of Dr.
Paine and Mr. Murphy at yesterday's
meeting of that body to add this month
$1 to the ninount ordinarily specified
for each beneficiary monthly. In past
years it has been the custom to add
'M per cent, to the usual December
amount. As $.. per month Is about as
large a monthly allowance as the board
grants, the $1 holiday IncreaPe tills year
will average a little more than the per
centage would.
With his wife ut the Hillside Home
and $700 In the bank to provide for her,
John O'Hara, of Dunmore, applied to
the board for relief. Mr. Murphy ex
plained that the case was a worthy one.
O'Hara und his wife saved monev by
frugality and hard work, but it could
not be obtained from the bank on ac
count of some litigation. O'Hara Is

James and Thomas Norton, of Clark's
Summit; Soloman Newton, Eugene Van
Scoten, Daniel Burr, Thomas Marsh
and Tony Cook, of Scranton; ami
Charles Pickering, of Dunmore, were
the witneses sworn. All gave testi
mony tending to show that Van Horn
was disordered mentally.
Joseph Norton, who worked with him
on the carpenter Job nt Clark's Sum
mit, corroborated the statements Hindu
by Messrs. Thomns mid Greevey at
the Clark's Summit hearing last Sat
urday, reciting numerous incidents of
crazy unions on the part of Van Horn
such as were detailed by the witnesses
mentioned.
Solomon Newton nnd Eugene Van

road and were satisfied from various

Thought tho Jury Should Have
Come to an Agreement.
After spending three and a half days
hearing the cas-v and twenty-seven
hours in deliberation, the Jury In the
suit of Christian Flegenspan against
Hannlek & Moore, reported yesterday
afternoon that they could not agree
and were discharged.
Judge Gunsler, who acted for Judge
Olmstead, In taking the report, said he
regretted they could not agree. From
what he had heard of the cose, he said,
there was no reason why an agreement
should not bo reached. "A Juror Is sup
posed to meet with his fellows and de
liberate and not to sit stubbornly down
to asset t his own opinion," the Judge
concluded.
It Is said the Jury stood ten for the
plaintiff and two for the defendants.
