Henttaiy Athertnn, of the hoaul of trade, hays he has had no Jess than thlrtj pviFonal inquiries concerning tho project fiom men who became' Inter ested in the scheme fiom the reading of TheTiIbune's aitlcle. One man, rep lohentins a Scianton concern which uses $6,000 woith of tin plate a month, and which expects within a year to he uhlnj; $10 000 woith. asked the sccie taiy for all tho lnfot mixtion he could furnish on the matter of tin platu manufactuie, Intlmatinff that his cnni ).m would subcilbe llbeially towards the establishment of a factory In Scianton. When the movement was afoot some iHo ears apo, estimates were made then hhowlng that with tho outlay of $00,000 a factoiy could be built that would employ 400 hands nnd turn out from 2.G00 to .1,000 boxes of tin per week The expense would not bo any greater now, it is hellPMfl, while tin, In tho meantime, has incitased In value nearly eighty per cent. Phelps, Dodge & Co., the New Yolk lnvestois, who weie f-ollclted at that time to hiibscrlbe a poitlon of the stock, had the proposition under considera tion for a long time befoio deciding that the profits were not of the largo and quick kind they weie on the look out for. At the pi ice for which tin Is selling, they bald hi a letter to Seue tary Atherton, we do not see any great prollt In it for the Investment de manded. This objection, however, no longer exists, accoidlng to the trade paper', for the price of tin plate has advanced to such a flgine that tho Jobbers hesl tato to ask a fuither increase, though the demand would permit of It. Secietnry Atherton feels confident that outside capital could be secured without much trouble If It was desired. He would prefer, howover, that the capital should come fiom local sources, or, at least, the major portion of It, so that the company could be controlled by Scranton. lletween the subscrip tions already assured and the possibil ities In view of securing othois. Secre tary Atheiton is confident that a biff tin plate mill Is n sure thing for 1900. Ickille, on AVednesday morning at 10 o'clock. The Rev. I'. P.

The deceased was 75 jcars old. He had long leslded on his f'tim in Scott, wheie he was well known and highly respected as a man of strict honesty, a kind father and good neighbor. About two yens nro he came to live with his daughter in Pecluille, where his genial spirit won for him many nw lriends. A laigo gathering of tho principal lesldents of the town attest ed to tho high esteem In which he was held He leaes thiee sons, two daughters and a host of friends to mourn his de parture. His remains weie comejed to the beautiful Wetheiby cemetery and laid to rest by tho side of his wife, who died sixteen yeais ago.

About 7 15 o'clock last evening an alaini of llie was turned In fiom Box 41, corner of Seenth nnd Scranton streets. 1'te the last feat some sound of the gong had died away, over the locky brow of the Scranton street cliffs, wieathed in clouds of dust, ap peared the fiery steed of the new fire chief, with the chief at the end of the ribbons. Down the steep hill they dashed, full galloping, nor bridle drew until they i cached the conflagiatlon. Tho fire was in a chimney of Kelly's cosmopolitan apartment house on Stiauton street The quick-thlnklng chief nimbly mounted a ladder to the apex of the roof and there like a Colos sus ho stood, In his new uniform, sil houetted against the ultra-marine of the western sk. and calmly called for a kettle of hot watei, which he ns calm ly pouied down the chimney and the ilie was out. . - - NO MORE CUTTING OF PAVE.
