Moffat, Recording Socrotary Financial Statement Made by the Treasurer. The nnntinl meeting or the associa tion of the Home for the Friendless wan held yesterday afternoon In the Young Women's Christian association moms. With one exception, the man tigers were ull present. The absent member was Mra. T. H. Dale, who Is III. Mine chitnses were made on the hoard than have been before at any election of olllcers. The must notice able was the reslcnutlon of Mrs. George I.. DIOkHjn, who has been a manager for twenty-three yenrs, and whose noble service can not be re counted In words. Derplte the arguments nnd objec tions nf the entire membership, she wished to relinquish the work, which has. sorely taxed her strength, particu larly during the past three years, when ns chairman of the building committee, fhe has been under a continuous strain. At the close of the meeting a series of resolutions were offered, expressing the regret of the board In losing the Inspiration of her ever-ready wit and the assistance of her judgment and good sense. lEesolutlons of regret were also made upon the tenlgnatlon of Mr. J I. M. Holes. The board has gained n valuable accession In the person of Mrs. A. D. lllackinton, a newly-elected manager, and also In Miss Richmond. jimjgf: knapp imirsidi-jnt. Hon. H. A.

Moffat gave the annual re port of the recordlns secretary, which held the closest attention. It was as follows: SKCIlETArtY'S UKPOItT. Once more, amid the onows of Jan uary, has come the annual meeting of this association: once more are wo gathered to hear the record of what has been done fur Immunity's snke by those who have administered the af fairs of the Home for the Friendless during the twenty-seventh yeur of its existence. During 189S there were admitted to the Home 21 girls, 29 boys, M women nnd III babies; Hi) have been dismissed. 4 were sent to the Hillside Homo and 4 are out on trial. On the 31st of De cember the Inmates numbered C7; 7 children have been Indentured to the Home and 3 to families. Four deaths huve occurred since our last report two baby girls and two old ladles hav ing passed from us to a "better coun try, that is, nn heavenly" Tho babies, one of whom was five days old, and one aeven. when admitted, only com pleted as many weeks o'f life. To one of the old ladles was granted more than tho allotte-' three score years and ten; to the other, three score and a quarter, anu yet, looking on the quiet faces of the dead, we could not but feel "How happier far than life the end Of souls that Infant. like beneath their bend." In June the dreaded scourge, diph theria, Invaded the Home, but It was successfully combatted by the physi cians with tho marvelous weapon of antl-toxlne. and all the patients re covered. The great event of the year was the moving Into our new building, which was accomplished March 17; a day best known as "St. Patrick's Day In the Morning." Six years had passed since the board assembled March 21. 1802, to receive from the Pennsylvania Coal company the noble gift of the land whereon the Home now stands, und during that time It la scarcely too much to sny that, mingled with every project underlying every private plan running through or parallel with nil the thoughts, the duties, the pleasures, thu visions of the board of managers was the supreme Idea of n new home; 11 building suited to the needs nnd wants of the work. Hod they apostro phized It, they would have done so In tho well known words: "Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tenrs, Our faith triumphant o'er our fears, Are ull with thee are ull .lth thee!" 8UCCKSS AT LAST. The history ot the work of those years Ifl for the board nnd its ndvlsers, full of Incident, toll, effort, delay, anx iety, patience, nnd, finally, success. The board would acknowledge with pro found gratitude Its obligations to the advisory board and to the committee on Inspection. Freely they gave of their time, experience and counsel, patiently and kindly they met every demand on them, making the rough places plain before those more Inexperienced In such ways. So It happened thnt the 17th of March was a very happy day; wit nessing, ns It did, the fruition ot long cherished hopes. The transferring of the family was accomplished most triumphantly, und old nnd young were Minn established In their commodious quarters. Amid the expressions of won der and delight there was a solitary note of regret. "Isn't thin grand?" said an enthuslnfltlc manager to one of the boys. "Ye-es." came the reply, but there was such a nice puppy next door to the old Home; be used to play with us. I think he must feel lone some without ns." Henutlful as Is the Home for sit 1 1 tlnn, and stately as are Its walls, the interior Is o attractive that Its ap pearance at once suggests the proper designation of the Institution. Tho dlffetent rooms have been furnished by either the liberality of private Individ uals of societies, whose names on small plates are affixed to the doors. The parlor was fur nished by the children of Mrs. Cath erine Wintnn. ns ti memorial of their mother, tm long connected with the board: the old ladles' sitting room, by the children of Mrs. Catherine Sllk mnn: also as a memorial of their moth er; the manager's room, through Mrs. John Jermyn. In this room Is the large, handsome mantel given by Mrs. Wil liam Connell. ns a metnuilnl of her children: the convalescent's room, by Mr. and Mrs. J. R Dlmmlck.

The single rooms for old ladies were furnished respectively by the Zlon Lutheran church society; the children of Mrs. Hegina Goldsmith, In memory of their mother; the King's Daughters of flrace church; the Girl's Friendly society of St. Luke's church: the King's Daughters of Elm Park church: I Mrs. Margaret T. Robertson, Taylor i-oster, Gordon nnd Esson Taylor, Mrs. William Ilright and the Chronothann toletron society .and the Spinsters. Dr. X. Y. Leete also gave tho money to furnish n bed room, but the arrange ments for this are not yet completed. In the boys' dormitory four beds were given by Mrs, W. - Kennedy, ten by Mrs. C. P. Matthews, one by Mrs M. F. Kays, In memory of her mother, Mrs. J, It. Fordham, for many years a member of the board, and one by the King's Daughters of the Green ltldge Presbyterian church, MEtUlY WORKERS. The girls' dormitory, with the excep tion of one bed given by Mrs. Downing, in memory of her little daughter Helen, was furnished by the Merry Workers, a society of young girls: Ruth Arch bald, Margaretta Delhi, Dorothy Ues sell, Bessie Blair, .May Blanchard. Ethel Clark. Mary Dickson, Jeanne Dlmmlck, Alice Knapp, Anna McAnul ty, Eleanor Moffat and Kathryn Stelle. The hospital room was furnished by Mls Anna K. Sanderson: the carpet In the hall on the entrance lloor, was given by Mrs. 1 M. Boles. The dining room, the largest room In the house, was. furnished by the D., L. and W. Locomotive Engineers. With their eyes trained to look uhead, they not only foresaw the need of alt they have done, but they have urranged to have this track kept clear for them In the future, as they have announced they will always provide anything that Is necessary for this room. From Mr. Charles Schlager was received a mag nificent gift of $700 worth ot hardware for the new building. It Is estimated that almost $l,C0i) have been expended in furnishing. In Juno a strip of land, 30 feet wide. In the rear of the Home, was granted by the board to the People's Anthracite Land company, by which means a con tinuation of Jefferson avenue between the Home property and Forest Hill cemetery was made, thus enabling the Home to connect with the sewer, which sanitary demands rendered necessary ns speedily as possible. Another road was cut through, connecting Adams and Washington avenues, thus making a tine upproach to the Home and ren dering iiermanent ,sewer connection possible. This was due to the gener osity ot Kennedy and Carter, who dis posed of two connecting lots on these respective nvenues to the Anthracite Land company for $1,000, they valuing the property at over $2,000. On the Sth of May, the Sons ot Vet erans, Camp Xo, 8, presented a large, handsome Hag to the Home, which wns raised with appropriate ceremonies nnd though the elements were most unpropitlous, nothing could dampen the urdor ot the participants, as with song, speech and prayer -Old Glory's" su perb folds slowly shook themselves loot.0 from the cord which bound them until they floated from their staff, for ever to guard the Home as they do the country. PAID OX NEW BUILDIXO. As you have already heard from the port of the treusurer, $20,500.73 have been paid on tho new building; we still owe $18,000 on It, und there is u mort gage of $15,000 on the Adams avenue building. This dark cloud of debt casts a lone shadow on our fair Home, and the need of strenuous exertion to dis pel It Is great Indeed. To tho list of life membet have this year been added tho names of Mrs. I. F. Everhart, Wrs. William Moore, Mrs. Luton T. Oukford, Mrs. Elnora J. Llvey und Miss Helen Catherine Winton. There Is another list which grows larger year by year, wherein many friends are accounted for, but It Is with dimmed eyes that we read It for, for their names are .written In heaven: Mrs. T. F. Everhart, Miss Steensoq, Mr. Walter Dawson, Mr. R. W. Luce, Mr. W. T. Smith nnd Mrs. II. II. Throop, these nro thoso whoso names we place on tho ecrolologlcal ro 1 for 1S98. Mr. Lu-e held the position of auditor on the board for twenty years, faithfully performing all thut was re quired of him and ever manifesting a warm Interest In the well being of the Institution. Mrs. Everhart's thoughtful bequest has ulready been noted, tho comfort of the tiny ones Is assured through her gift. Mr. Dawson's be quest Is subject to other Interests, hut it reveals the generous thought 01 Mie donor for those with none ot this world's goods.

The first permnnent plntiB for arrang ing for next October's state firemen's convention In this city were perfected Inst night at u meeting of firemen in the pnrlors of Nay Aug Engine bouse. Two delegates were present from near ly every fire company In tho cltv. By recent request of the temporary con vention committee the delegates ap peared clothed with power to vote on all questions and to remain members of the general convention committee until the convention Is a thliiff t the past.

This report bad been approv ed ns a whole by the first committee, but subject to flnnl ratification by the permnnent organization. A FAIR FAVOUEO. Tho clause favoring a fair was ap proved. Music hall, the ormory and 11 specinlly constructed "wigwam" on tho Young Men's Christian association plot were suggested as places for holding the fair. Action on this point was, however, deferred until u report has been made by tho executive committee. An executive committee, to net with President Wegman on fair nnd con vention details, subject to approval ot the executive committee, was elected as follows: P. J.

The executive committee wns also di rected to confer with several prominent men relative to acting ns manager of the fair. The matter of paying the manager a salary brought out different views, but It appeared to be the sense of the meeting thnt a salary should be I paid to some competent and well known man If one could not be secured gratis. For this responsible office, tho names of D. H. Atherton, secretary ot the board of trade; ex-Postmaster F. M. Vand HtijT and Colonel Keck were suggested. It was agreed to pay Secretary Tann ler p salary of $:'." per month until nf ter the fair, which will probably be held in May. PROF. RATER'S OFFER. A vote of thanks was tendered R. J.

He then represented tho advertising department of Morse nrothers, of IJoston, manufacturers ot the Rising Sun stove polish, nnd board ed at The Linden. His second appearance In Seranton was late In December. He registered at a hotel as "J. Tyson" and did not remain long In town. Ho sought out J. O. Reese, with whom ho hnd form erly done business us representative of the stove polish firm, and Induced Mr. Reese to cash a personal check for $25. Russell secured tho same amount by slmllnr means from E. W. Tnllman, of Bronson & Tnllman. DRAWN ON THIRD NATIONAL. The checks were drawn on the Third Natlonnl bank where Russell had maintained a small nccount nnd had made all his paper good during his prior residence here. After he finally disappeared, worthless checks drawn on the Third National were received at the bank from other cities and were marked "no funds" nnd returned. The Welkel & Smith Spice company, of Philadelphia, on which firm Rus sell passed a bad check, caused his arrest in Philadelphia. The firm has secured the particulars and evidence of Russell's doings in other cities in the form of affidavits. From Seranton .Russell went to El mlra, where a Third National check was cashed for him by Guy Sayles, a business man. A few dnys later ho was arrested In Blnghamton on in formation received from Reading, but eluded prosecution on a technicality and was released before the- Kim Ira. police knew of his arrest. In Wllkes-Barre he worked bogus checks to the amount of $100. He obtained $40 on a check In Williams port, but was obliged to return the money ond the check was destroyed. A friend saved him from prosecution In this cusev RUSSELL ARRESTED.
