Mi. Pratt remained on the Itepiih

For a time he was postmaster and also

A THl'H OEXTLHMAX.
Perhaps, most nf all, Mr. Prntt, Im
pressed those who knew him with
being ,1 gentleman in the ti nest M-nse
of the term. His beautiful, gentle
coiirlesv was unfailing and most
chin nilng at all times.
Possessing an exceptionally pine and
unsullied nature his modest reserve
of manner and elegant appeaianco al
was appealed tn bis acquaintances
nn well as to his close friends. Schol
iul and quiet In his tastes with a
lofty standard, which he unswervingly
followed, his life was one thnt held

COMMON COUNCIL TONIGHT.
Bond Ordinance Will Be Called for
Third Reading.
A leRiiini- meeting of common council
will be held this eeniiiR.
The piliicl.tl business nf the session
will be the consideration, on third rend
ing, of the bond otdlnnnce. It Is quite
proimme in.it tile meabtlie will pto
oke much debate. Many of the mom
conservative members realize that In
Its present amended form nnd carry
ing neaily J1.000.000 the ordinance
would never be accepted by select
council, nnd these members, who lion
estly hope for Its llnal passage on a
practical babis, favor le-amcnding the
oidlnanco b taking off seveial hundred
thousand dolluis of the local ward
amendments.
It Is considered certain thnt If tho
ordlnnnco goes to select eountll In Its
present shnpu It would be sent back
amended beyond recognition, and too
late for llnal ptssage and approval by
the mayor on Jan. 21. On that day, or
before then, It must be approved In 01
tier to permit advertisement '.0 days
before election as it-quired by law.
Uvcn thouph tho ordinance went to
select counc'l In a fonn satisfactory
to that branch, to say nothing of pure
ly select council amendments thnt will
certultilv be made. It could reared v bo

MEARS
RETIREMENT OF
PRESIDENT SLOAN
IS THE CHIEF TOPIC IN NEW
YORK RAILROAD CIRCLES.
What tho Now York Horald Has to
Say About tho Possibility of Mr.
Hnllstead Succeeding Him An
Eflbrt Wns Made to Intorviow
President Sloan Yesterday by an
Evening Post Man, But Ho Ro
fusod to Make a Statement of Any
Kind.
The announcement In The Tribune
of Alonduy of the early retirement of
of Tuesdny of the early retirement of
the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd West
ern and the probable election of Sec
ond Vice President Hallstead, ot this
city, ns his successor, has caused a.
great commotion In the railroad world.
It Is one of the very Interesting topics
discussed In Wall street, and has called
forth columns of comment In the New
York dallies. Tho Xevv York Herald of
yestetdtx said:
It beeamo known yesterday thut Mr.
Halltead has for a number of weeks
spent a largo part of his llmo In New
Yo-k In connection with the management
of the company's nffalrs. and for several
duvs he has hud an olllce. here. This fait
has moused not u little curiosity In Wall
street, and muny railroad men have
Jumped to Urn t-iiultisloii that .Mr. Hall
stead was the "coming man "
Whether Mr. Hallstead will really bo
fleeted piisldent depends upon the will
of tlm dlrcctoi, of which William K.
Vnndtrbllt, Cleorgo S. Haker and J. It.
Maxwell are Influential members. All ofi
these men uro anxious to plate the coal
trade In a I etter position, but the admin
istration of President Sloan nnd Vice
President IJ, H. Iloldtn, of the Lacka
wanna Is said to have had something to
do with keeping buslntss In an unsettled
condition
HOLDIJX MAY ItnTlUH.
If Mr. Sk an retires It Is believed In
Wall sticet that Mr. Holdcn, who has for
main cars been In charge ot the Lack
awunna's coal dtpartment, nnd a Xestor
In the coal trade, mn also cease to have
sole coutiol of the Lackawanna's coal de
partment, although tho directors may wls-i
him to remain In order to get the benefit
ot his valuable experience.
The New "lork IJvenlng Post, of last
night, raid:
Samuel Sloan declined to av anything
today for publication ( oncerning his con
templated letlretnent from tho presidency
ot the Delivvare, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad company, but the announce
ment uf tint fact was eonflimed today
bv one ot tho diit-ctors. Mr. Sloan has
ixptess-ed tho desire to bo lellevcd of tho
tares uf tho ofllco tit president. TI101.0
tares haVH grown with the Increasing
business of the company and he has con
cluded that he has arrived at a timo of
llfo (he Is more than Wl ears of age) when
he ought to take a llttlo rest.
Just when the change In tho presidency
of the road will take place is not teitain;
It may bo made nct l'ebruary and on
the other hand It may not take place until
nct fall. It Is dependent upon when a t.t
man can be obtained to take Mr. Sloan's
pi ice.
When Mr Sloan retires from the presi
dency ho is to bo elected to the honorat v
and consequently less onerous position of
chairman of the board of directors.
WILL MAItlv A CHAXG1J.
Grc.-t Interest Is taktn bv commuters
on the Lackawanna lailroad In the re
poitnl letlrement of Mr. Sloan from tho
pre- ldeney of thn road, as it Is gener
nll believed that his retirement will
mark the beginning of a new ei.i In tho
m.iiiagiment of the road.
Chit f among the Improvements expected
is the tunning of Sunday trains, to
which Mr. Sloan Is un.ilteiably opposed,
and an improved service.

Banquet Was Conducted at tho Roma
Hotel Last Night.
At the Homa hotel last night a ban
quet was given by it numlier of the
prominent Italian residents of this city
and its vicinity in honor ot Rev. Ro

years.
Father Xitsca Is a man of many btll
llnnt qualities, who labored among his
countrymen In the Seranton diocese for
several years before going to Italy. Ill
health and business that required his
personal attention made It necessary
for him to go to Ituly four yenrs ago
and he has been theie ever since.
Dining his former residence heie ho
built the Italian church at Hazleton
and was for a time In charge of tho
Italian poitlon of the cathedral congre

fiom Hor Fugitive Husband.
Judge Purdy, In the Pike county
courts, has granted a divorce to Mis.

On Oct. 2, IS!)", Christian Houseman
shot down well-known Saulie New
berger, of Topton.Plke county. House

in court, and Squire Xewbcrger gener
ally had something to do with his
troubles. It wns while a case was be
ing tried before Justice Xewbcrger In
which Houseman was interested that
he killed Xevvberger and shot a court
constable.
He made his escape, and is believed
to bo still toamlng in the woods of Pike
