The final step In the closing down of the breaker at No. 1 colliery of tho Delaware and Hudson company, at Plymouth, was taken Saturday. Tho company has been considering this matter for sometime. The breaker Is very old and would have to bo mate rially altered In line with the other changes mado this year at all collieries. This would mean too big an expense, so the breaker will be abandoned and the coal mined at that colliery will bo taken through a tunnel connection Into No. 5 workings adjoining and run through No. C breaker, which Is prac tically modern. This means a great saving for the company outside. There will be one less breaker to operate and keep In repair and they will not have to use tho Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern company's tracks to run the coal over to their own line. The break t employes will lose their work here, but it Intended to employ them elsewhere as soon as posslblee. This breaker has been In operation since 1S53 and tho Delaware and Hudson company has controlled It since the late sixties. An innovation apparently of no mate rial Interest, but which may bo but a step to something else, was insti tuted yesterday by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company. Hereafter all conductors of coal and freight trains will place and remove the record charts used In each caboose to note speed, mileage, etc. Also, the conductor must file the record In the office of General Superintendent Gar rett Bogart. Heretofore, a man lo cated at the head of the yard placed and removed these charts on all trains governed by the record. The following speaks for Itself: "To all t'mployes: Trip passes Is sued to, or on account of, employes of this company will not be good on Sunday trains unless so endorsed, (Signed) W. F. Hallstead, Second Vice-President and General Manager." Engineers of the Scranton Hallway company are making surveys near the northern limits of Mooslc for tho pur pose of building a viaduct over the Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks. The transfer of passengers at the crossing on Main street causes much annoyance. Nothing new In the Nay Aug Lumber company strike, Instituted a week ago, turned up yesterday.

Appropriation Mado for Increaso In Teachers' Pay, But Those Who Aro to Receive nn Advance Are Not Yet Designated Deficit of $20,000 Provided for, but No Provision Made for the Very Probable Cut In tho State Appropriation. The finance committee of the board of control made Its report last night nnd It was adopted without opposition. It fixes the tax levy at fourteen mills, the same figure as last year, and makes an nllowance for an Increase In teach ers' salary, but thoae who are to re ccivo the advanco will not bo desig nated until the assignment of teachers Is mado In July. The report takes It for granted that tho state appropriation will be the same as last year. It Is qulto possible that such will not bo the case ns Gov ernor Hastings hns stated that ho will use the axe on the school appropria tions and this action on his part Is looked fot every day. Tho report In full follows: Scianton, Pa., May 1, ISM. To tho PrcHldcnl and Mcmbcts of tho Scranton Board of Control. Gentlemen: Tho llnnnco committee beg leave to submit tho following report of the requirements of tho district for the ensuing school jour, and their recom mendations as to tho means of providing for those requirements. SINKING FUND. At tho present time, the bonded Indebt edness of tho district amounts to JlOO.wW. Dut 43,000 of theso bondu nro In tho hands of tho treasurer, 510,000 of the Issue of llsSS having been purchnscd by direc tion of the board and $35,000 of tho Issue of 1S37 having been taken up with cash In tho sinking fund, thus saving a con siderable sum In tho way of interest. Inasmuch ns theso bonds wero practic ally redeemed. It roomed unnecessary to mnko provision for them In tho annual levy. The solicitor of tho board was consulted on tho subject and his opinion confirips this view of tho committee. Ho advises that tho $10,000 purchased bo cancelled and that tho ?33,000 bo retained as here tofore In the sinking fund; but that tho lovy on tho entlro amount of $13,000 can bo legally discontinued, thus placing to the credit of the geneial school account $3,000, which last year wont Into tho sinking fund account. The law requires that a. sum eaual to 8 per cent, of tho outstanding bonded indebtedness shall be raised unnually by taxation for sink ing fund purposes, tho same to bo used for tho payment of tho Interest on the bonds nnd to provide for their redemp tion. Eight per cent, of $33,000 equals $2S,400. The committee theroforo recom mends a levy of 1.3 mills for sinking fund purposes on tho estimated valuation of $22,500,000, which, after allowing for ex onerations and collections, will produce tho sum required. BUILDING ACCOUNT. For building purposes for tho coming ye.ir, tho building commltteo have placed beforo us nn estimate of $73,OM. This Is un Increase of about $2,500 over tho wn granted last year. Tho committee has decided to recommend that this appro priation bo made, tho money to bo pro vided ns follows: A lovy nf 2 mills en tho estimated valuation of $22,f00,000, af ter allowing for exonerations and collec tions, will yield $13,500. After paying off all building contiacts now in foicc. balances duo on lots in the Fourth, Eighth and Twentieth wards, as ordered by tho board nt tho last meet ing, and making payments on new tiles purchased In tho First, Tenth nnd Twenty-first wards, it Is estimated that there will bo a balance In tho building account of $32,000, which added to the amount raised by taxation, will provide fcr building purposes tho sum of $r,iw9 for the year commencing July 1, 1S09. GKNERAL SCHOOL ACCOUNT. Wo have carefully examined and con sidered tho estimates placed before us by the vaiious nommlttecj of the board und compared them with tho expendi tures charged against the respective ap propriations for the pr st two years and have been unable to ceo w!iro any ma terial reduction could be made. Tho amount appropriated for teachers' salaries last year was $133,000. That. thW was Inadequate is shown from the fact that there will be a deficit In this account of about $0,000 ut tho end of tho year. So that tho appropriation for tho next year as recommended by your commlt teo is about $14,000 inoro than tho ex penditures for this purpose for the cur rent year. Tho teachers' commltteo has asked for this increaso to provide for tho several purposes of the natural increase of salaries on account of length of ser vices, for new teachers required by in creased attendance In the schools of tho district, and for raising tho salaries of certain classes of teachers that the teachers' commltteo believe are too low and which will bo recommended with tho annuiil appointments in July. Wo have mado a reduction of $2,000, from $21,000 to $13,000, for tho payment of Jan Itois' salaries, as this latter sum appears to bn ample for tho purpose; also a re duction of $200 fur tho delivery of sup plies. The other estimates have been left as reported by tho committee. They are moderate and will be needed to meet various expenditures. We therefore rec ommend tho following appropriation which, under tho law, aro all chargeable to tho general school account: THE APPHOPUIATIONS. High school expenses $ 30,53 (j0 Teaeheia' salaries 155,000 00 Night schools li) W Olllcers and clerks 7,420 00 Janitors' salaries 13.000 00 Repairs 18.000 00 New furniture 3.000 00 Bents 1,600 00 Supplies 10,00000 SPECIAL FRUIT SALE Box Fancy Sweet Oranges, 5J to 6 dozen in box $1.35 per box, California Oranges 15 for 25c. Navels, 25 and 35c per dozen. Havana Prunes for pre serving 15c, $1.75 dozen. Strawberries, 20c and 25 per quart. Fancy Asparagus, 20c per bunch. Fresh Vegetables. Best Goods for Least Money. E. G. COURSEN Coal and wood 7,000 00 Qas, water and telephones 4,000 00 Delivery of supplies 300 00 Printing ami advertising 1,000 00 Strum heat for No. 33 and board rooms 41S0O T.opnl expenses l,r0J (0 Tax refunding WW Text books 1I,00 00 ItiRUrnnca tOO W Incidentals 1,000 00 Total $2S0,913 00 It Is estimated that there will be a de ficit of $20,000 In tho general school ne count at the end of the present year. This must bo provided for In tho revenues of tho next year and may therefore bo fulrly considered ns part or next year's expenditures. This added to the total amount of tho appropriations makes a grand total of $300,915 ns tho estimated amount required for general school pur poses, A lew of 10.7 mills on tho estimated valuation of JJ2.S00, nfter deducting 3 per cent, for exonerations nnd collections, will yield tho sum of $233,527.50. Adding to this the samo stnte appropriation as wns received last year, viz., 173,373.SS, wo have an estimated revenue of $306,901.38, which Is $3,380.38 moro than tho esti mated requirements. Wo consider this fortunate, however, ns tho experience of each year bus shown that tliera nro always some unexpected nnd unforseen expenses which cause a deficit when tho revenuo is only equal to tho anticipated requirements. DIVISION OF LEVY. Tho 1.3 mills for the sinking fund, tho 2 mills for the building account and 10.7 mills for tho general school account mako a total of 14 mills, the samo as last year. Your committee would there fore recommend that said levy of It mills bo mado for the ensuing school yenr and that tho distribution and appropriations ns hereinbefore set forth be adopted by the board. This levy of It mills on tho nsscsscd valuation of $22,500,000 will produce, nfter allowing for exonerations nnd collections, the sum of $205,550. Adding to this tho state appropriation of $73,373.8$ and the estimated balance In the building ac count of $32,000, wo havo a total esti mated resource of tho year amounting to $410,923.SS to meet tho estimated ex penditures, Including tho estimated de ficit of $20,000 In tho geneial school ac count, of $101,503. Messrs. Leonard, O'Mnlley and Jayne were appointed a special committee to consider the question of kindergartens, Mr. Leonard making the suggestion. Tho applications of Brtha Kelly, T.ulu Knapp and Angle Reese for nor mal school diplomas were approved. A letter was received from Principal J. M. Beaumont, of No. S school, stat ing that Miss Rankin, a teacher In that building who was sick sixty-six days, asked to have tho board allow her full pny for the time she was in capacitated on the ground that her Ill ness, according to tho physician, was due to the coal gas that escaped from the stove with which tho school room Is heated. Tho matter was referred to tho teachers' committee. Chairman Davis offered tho vacancy on tho finance committee to Mr. Leon ard, but ho declined it with thanks. LETTER OF RESIGNATION. Read by Rev. W. U. Watktns at the Service in tho North Main Avenue Baptist Church. Following is the letter of resignation of Rev. W. U-. Wutklns, of tho North Main Avenue Baptist church, read by him to tho congregation Sunday even ing: To tho North Main Avenue Baptist Church. Beloved Brethren: After a pleasant and I trust, ptofltablu lulatlonshlp as pastor and people, extending over a pe riod of neaily teven years, 1 havo ar rived at tho conclusion that my useful ness as your pastor has reached its limit. I therefore, hereby tender my resigna tion, the sunie to tako efiect with tha Inst Sunday In June of this year. I might hae deferred this for Home time, but 1 do not wish thu church to undcrtuko any project buch as building on my account; nor do I wish to lead the church In such an undertaking without a reasonablo probability of my remain ing hero to carry it to its completion. It Is better, therefore, for mo to resign before hucIi an Important measure is commenced than to wait until it has been started and then leave you In thu midst or It. With tho advent of a new pastor will come aUu new enthusiasm which will cnublo ou easily to realize your cher ished hope. In short you go forward. You havo everything to encourage you. As you stand today, you need about $12, 000 to put you In possession of ono of tho neatest and most commodious hom-es of worship In this end of the city. This seems a considerable sum. But let me remind you that one member alone htands pledged for nearly one-half of this umount, or, to be exact, $3,500. If there Is an j thing which should 1111 this church with a sense of appreciation and gratitudo It Is the fact that It has la Its membership u friend so staunch who In proportion to his means gives toward its support moro largely than tho much lauded millionaires contributes towards their various benevolences. This Is farthest fiom a reflection upon others, for besides him, thero are indued la our fellowship other royal bonis who would grace any church, though lluy may not bo so capable financially. But I havo singled out my unfailing friend nnd brother, William Chappell, simply to show that tho church can bear what may appear to bo a heavy burden when one out of about 300 assumes halt of It him self. If tho remainder of the membership will not pleilgo and tecurp the other half of this amount tho church will not de tervo much help or sympathy fiom the community, Ilejolclng In tho peace and harmony which always characterised our union, and thanking God fetvently for HIj smiles nnd blessings, which havo ever been upon us, I pray that His favor may bo manifested toward you still moro abundantly In all tho future, "And the peace of God, which passeth all under standing, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Phil, Iv, 7). Affectionately your pastor. W. O. Watklns. DIRECTORS OF THE HOSPITAL. Elected at n Meeting of the Con tributors Held Last Night. J. Cieorgc Elsele, John F. Snyder and V. Ij.

The graduating exercises of trained nurses nt tho j-'cranton Private hospi tal were held last evening ut tho build ing corner of Wyoming avenue and Mulberry street.

Dr. Charles E. Thomson made the ad dress to tho graduates. He spoke In part as follows: "Respected brothers of the staff and profession, Invited gentlemen nnd lad les, graduates of tho training school of the Scranton Prlvato hospital: Having successfully completed the pro scribed course of tho school, and hav ing been declared capable and profi cient to begin the full responsibilities of the vocation to which you have de voted talents and dedicated your future efforts, you stand yet upon tho thres hold of tho abode of that science to which your labors lend auxiliary force. " 'None but tbo bravest deserve tho fair;' none but the earnest, stout hearted and faithful deserve or can secure tho rewards of medical labors, for their rewards aro the outbursts of warm hearts, passionate, thankful, lov ing and grateful, whether they give life to noble or depraved belngf, i'nd they are tho revcrenco and esteem of a largo profession, which welcomes with recognition rather than rejects tho successes nnd discoveries of Its brethren. THE ONLY METHOD. "Discipline and constant attention to details Is the only method of Instruc tion considered valuable In the educa tional world. It Is also tho only means of regulating harmoniously the af fairs of private and public institu tions from whatever standpoint tho matter may bo viewed. You havo been obliged to undergo many embar rassments and to suffer many, many disagreeable occasions to pass without any compensating, self-satisfactory cr deserving redress. And all for what purpose? Today you receive, In some slight measuro It may seem perhaps to some of you, a return for your disappoint ments, because you becomo today 'a trained nurse,' with a mission in the world, with capacity for your work, with disciplined faculties for future self-advancement. Your diploma, as every diploma which shall lssuo from this Institution under Its present di rectorate, shall mean In addition o the words Inscribed upon It, that you have a testimonial to tbo satisfactory com pletion In our midst of a two years' course marked by honor, fidelity to duty, application to appointed and as signed works, and a conscientious dis charge of the many incidental and im plied obligations Imposed upon you. "As graduates of this school, you are prepared to enter, when called, the dwellings of the wealthy, the homes of the poor, the hospitals of tho city and tho camps of war. The trained nurse entering the private family Is like a modern man of war 'orclng its entrance irresistibly Into a fort strong ly fortified and garrisoned. FIXED PRINCIPLES. "No locality, no time, no occasion, no circumstance of rac creed or con dition should ever chnga the fixed. Immovable and permanent principles which should dominate In your pro fessional character. If you do, your career, as sure as black is black and not white, will be Insignificant, ob scure and, above nil, of trilling satis faction to yourself. These principle?, broadly stated, of which I sr.eait, ap pear to be: First, implicit obedience to the Instructions of tlnj physician In charge, whether tJ you th Issue appears fraught with disaster, as to the best Interest of the patient. Sec ond, conscientious treatment of the patient, combined with all tho charlt, natural lovo of humanity, or precept of church prompt and urge you to give. Third, desire to Improve your record by continual observation of tho cases which fall under your care, enabling you to give, careful, successful and reputation-bringing attention to future similar cases. "If noblo Impulse stirs your heart, every day can be employed In doing good nnd tho lecord of unselfish deeds can shed with every passing hour an increased lustre." After tho graduation exercises tho doctors, nurses and guests wore served with luncheon, and a peilod of daning followed. MAY BE FROM SCRANTON. Body of Unknown Man Found in Staten Island Sound.
