LARGE AMOUNT INVOLVED
tangcllffe Coal Company Seeks to
Collect ?350,000 from the New
York, Susquehanna and West
ern Coal Company.
Tho Langcllffe Coal company, lim
ited, which operates mines In the lower
part of the county, yesterday began nn
action against tho New York, Susque
hanna and Western Coal company to
recover JXn.OOO. They are represented
by Jessup & Jessup and Welles & Tor
rey. In 1892 Heese O. Brooks and James
Mears entered Into a contract with tho
Wllkes-Harri' and Hudson River Im
provement company by which the lat
ter was to take a minimum of two
hundred thousand tons of coal a year
mined from lands that Hrooks and
Mears had acquired a lease of.
Later the Langcllffe Coal company
secured tho Interests of Brooks and
Mears and the Wilkes-Uarro and Hud
son River Improvement company as
signed Its lease to the New York, Sus
quehanna and Western Coal company,
the coal arm of tho railroad company
of the samo name.
It Is alleged that tho company has
not taken the minimum amount of coal
from tho time the lease was executed.
Instead of taking at least two hun
dred thousand tons a year, the com
pany has averaged only about one hun
dred thousand tons since the contract
was entered Into, although tho I.ang
cllffo company. It Is alleged, has been
prepared to furnish the amount called
for In the contract If given tho neces
sary number of cars.
Because of the small amount of coal
taken the mine has not been worked
to Its full capacity and the owners
have not made the amount of money
they could. To add to their troubles,
they have had to advance royalties on
coal unmlned for the reason that they
were not taking out the minimum
amount of coal called for In the leases
with the land owners. It Is further al
leged that the defendant company
never paid the amount for the coal
taken that the contract specified.
For all these things the Langcllffe
company seeks to recover J350.000.

good scores.
THE STRIKE ALMOST OVER.
Employes of Lehigh Valley Coal Co.
Will Probably Return to Work.
It now looks as though tho strike
of tho 1,700 employes of tho Lehigh
Valley Coal company at Wllkes-Barre
would bo short lived. A committee ot
the striking miners waited on General
Superintendent Lathrop yesterday
morning to ascertain if some compro
mise could not be agreed upon.
Superintendent Lathrop said tho
company would Insist on tho use of
safety lamps and that there could b
no compromlso on that point.
The committee reported the result
of their visit to a meeting of tho strik
ers and many of the latter signified
their intention of returning to work
today.
POOR BOARD MEETING.
Number of Applications for Relief
Heard Yesterday Afternoon.
Next Meeting to Bo Held
at the Home.
Tho regular meeting of the poor board
was held at city hall yesterday after
noon. President Brooks presided, and
Mr. Fuller was the absentee. Tho
monthly report of Superintendent
Boemer, of the Hillside Home, was
read and approved. In tho long list of
statements of Mr. Beemer, it was
shown that on May 31 the homo con
tained 441 patients and at the close of
Juno there was nineteen less being
cared for. During the month ended,
eleven insane female and five male pa
tients were received; twenty-five sane
patients and one insane patient were
discharged from the home.
Two deaths occurred during tho
month, one sane and one insane. At
the home now are 104 sane and 139 in
sane male, 130 Insane and fifty-two
sano female patients, making a total
of 425.
Superintendent Beemer informed tho
hoard that yesterday he handed the
treasurer of the district J2.30S.70, re
ceived by him for the maintenance of
patients at the home during tho last
three months. When the board ad
journed yesterday it decided to meet
Friday next nt tho Hillside Home. The
members of the board will leave for
there at 11 o'clock that day.
The list of applicants for asslstanco
was not as lengthy as usual. Emanuel
Potts, an old soldier, who In his old age
Is without friends, asked to be ad
mitted to the home, which request was
heartily granted. James Sullivan, of
Orchard street, was re-admltted to the
home. James Casey, of 51C Broadway,
a cripple, who with his crutches Is a
familiar figure on the streets of the
city, selling lead pencils, asked the
board for aid for his wife and three
children. Dr. Paine. In whoso district
the family live, informed the board
that he has been giving the family or
ders, and it came to his ears that
Casey was unworthy. Casey vainly
endenvored to make a speech In his
own defense. The case was disposed
of by leaving the matter to tho dis
cretion of Dr. Paine. Hugh Qulgley.
now of North Scranton, formerly of
South Scranton, asked for transpor
tation to Newark, which was accorded
him.
Mrs. Ifate MeNtilty, of Fellows street,
a widow of fifty-five years of age,
asked for aid. When a motion was
passed permitting her to go to the I'M
side Home, she waived that privilege
and told the directors to depart for
that place, as she never would. The
applications of Mrs. William Thomas,
of Kim street, whose husband Is ill,
and Mrs. Robert Connors, of Maplo
street, who has been deserted by her
husband, were referred to Mr. Dlckert
with power to act.
President Brooks called the attention
of the meeting to the fact that visiting
at tho home has become almost a nuis
ance. On Sundays, particularly, he
said, the place was crowded with sight
seekers. On motion of Mr. Shotten, th
committee on rules was instructed to
Investigate the matter and report at
tho next meeting.
Superintendent Beemer. before tho
meeting closed, Informed tho board that
excavations for the new stock house at
tho farm were completed. The Im
provements to tho old almhouse erected
back In '61 are being rapidly pushed
towards completion.

HOME IN DANGER
OF BEING CLOSED
ITS FINANCES ARE AT A VERY
LOW EBB.
Managers Are Embarrassed by tho
Largo Debt Which Hangs Over tho
Institution Money That Should
Be Used to Pay tho Running Ex
penses of tho Homo Has to Go to
Pay tho interest on tho Mortgage.
Something Must Bo Bone at Once.
At the regular meeting of the mana
gers of tho Home for tho Friendless
esterday the time was chiefly nm
ploycd In discussing the very grave
condition which confronts that Institu
tion. Unless something radical Is dona
very soon It now looks as if the doors
of tho Homo must not only bo closed
against nil applicants, no matter how
great their distress, but also there Is a
possibility that tho present Inmates,
numbering about fifty, may have to bo
turned out of tho kind shelter they
have enjoyed.
Tho fact is that the heavy Incum
brances under which the Homo Is
struggling are becoming too great a
burden to carry.
Tho public Is no less generous than
ever to this noble charity which has al
ways received such loyal support, but
the truth Is, the managers declare, that
the debt Incurred on the new building
is constantly consuming the funds usu
ally applied to running expenses.
The Interest on the mortgages on tho
old and new structures Is nearly $2,000
annually nnd this heavy drain Is what
seriously menaces the Institution.
INTENDED TO SELL.
It was expected when the new Homo
was begun that the old property on
Adams avcnuo could be sold at once
and the step was taken under the most
expert advice.
As results have shown tho value of
real estate has depreciated, or at least
tho plot of 200 feet front with a large
commodious house thereon has been
on the market ever since with no Im
mediate prospects of. a buyer.
Tho new building has cost far more
than wjir first cstlmuted and ns was
before "mentioned the mortgages on
both properties are a most serious
problem to the friends of tho Institu
tion. The present crisis which caused the
alarm at yesterday's meeting was pro
duced by tho statement of the finance
committee that tho annual excursion
upon which the Home has depended for
nearly half of the current expenses may
have to be abandoned.
It may not bo generally known, but
heretofore the Home excursions havo
been run free of charge by the rail
road companies of this region. For fif
teen years and more this charity has
received a return of from $600 to $1,100
from this source, and to find It sud
denly cut oft has caused dismay that
can bo felt but not described.
Tho Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western road has been a magnificent
benefactor during all these years. Wil
liam F. Hallstead was deeply interest
ed In the Home and when no other
could bo secured ho was certain to give
the use of the road and transportation.
ONE SOURCE OF REVENUE.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western excursions to Blnghamtun and
tho Water Gap have been tho most re
munerative of any in the history of the
institution, and the receipts have kept
tho friendless little children and tho
poor old women within Its walls for
many a half year.
This season tho railroads refuse to
grant the great favor hitherto enjoyed
and so much appreciated.
It Is now midsummer and too late to
run nn excursion when only a few
cents above a given sum per fare can
be netted.
There is not one dollar in tho treas
ury but there are debts for medicine,
milk, wages of help and other absolute
necessities und where tho money is to
come from Is what Is turning gray the
hair of every manager on the board.
It seems a pity that tho beautiful
charity so long close to tho popular
heart of Scrantonlans in general should
thus lu. crushed by a combination of
circumstances for which the manage
ment can in no way bo blamed.
Chief among tho troubles Is the vast
Increase of expenses in the new build
ing.
Coal Is consumed to a far greater de
gree and while In tho past fuel has been
contributed by the operators of this
region the consolidation of many com
panies and the abandoning of coal In
terests by local men have necessitated
tho purchase of this commodity In a
way not before known In tho Home.
Just what will be done Is hard to de
cldo by the managers.
MANAGERS WORRIED.
Thero aro any number of things
which could relievo tho present stress
If tho friends of tho institution could
seo their way clear to enter upon tho
task with a will.
Among these possibilities would bo to
form a syndicate and bnv th ild nmn.
erty, which Is sure to bo a valtiablo
Investment or to Influence some bencfl?
cent railway to give a road for an ex
cursion and then heln to nmko it n
mammoth one, or to secure subscrip
tions to the nmount of $1,000 which
wculd tl.i over the present emergency
until autumn when more definite ef
forts could be planned.
Another scheme would in. in tnrm
some systematized method by which
a certain, suro nnd regular Incomo
would be secured for current expenses,
thus allowing the managers to bend all
their endeavors toward lifting the debt.
viuievcr is aone must bo dono
quickly for affairs havo reached a desperate-
point and the deliberations of
yesterday morning were futllo as far
us any practical results are concerned.
Freezing Weather In July
Would cause great discomfort and loss,
but fortunately it is seldom known. A
vast amount of misery is caused at this
season, however, by impoverished
blood, poor appetite and gesai de
bility. These conditions may bo rem
edied by enriching the blood and toning
the stomach with Hood's Sarsaparilla.
This medlclno seems to put new life
Into the whole physical system, simply
because of its wonderful poww to
purify, enrich and vitalize tho blood,
create an appetite and invigorate tho
digestive functions. Wo advise you
to get a bottlo and try it If you are not
feeling Just right. It will do you moro
cood than a six weeks' vacation. It
Is tho best medicine money can buy.

Percy Frutohy, tho clever young
trick cyclist, who In the last year
has attracted so much attention while

vaudeville circuits in the country, as
well as from many good theatrical

says the reason he does so Is because
Its tho only wheel that will stand tho

EFFECT OF THE MEETING.
Members of tho Builders' Exchange
Say It Will Not Cause Them to
Chango Their Policy in
Any Manner.
Considerable difference of opinion
exists among tho majority of persons
who havo followed the course ot the
carpenters' strike since June 1 ns to
the effect tho mass meeting held In the
armory on Thursday evening will have
upon the general situation. The con
census of opinion appears to be that
while It probably had tho effect of In
creasing tho enthusiasm and hope
fulness of tho men It will havo no ef
fect whatever upon the stand taken
by the Builders' exchange. This lat
ter opinion Is borne out by the state
ments made by the members of tho
exchange themselves.
Secretary Laudlg stated to a Tri
bune man In the exchange rooms yes
terday that he had called up every
member of the exchange by telephone
In the morning, asking them their
opinion In regard to tho meeting. He
reported that without exception they
said that they would stick to their
present position.
K. S. Williams, one ot tho promi
nent contractors In the city and a
leading member of the Builders' ex
change, was seen by a Tribune man
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Williams
spoke at some length and his remarks
may throw some light upon the stand
tnken by the exchange.
He said that the mass meeting would
have the same effect upon the exchange
ns water upon a duck's back. He
was of tho opinion that It was not a
meeting of citizens, but rather of strik
ers and that tho resolutions were
passed by the latter. In regard to
the arbitration propositlon.be stnted
that ho believed he voiced the senti
ments of tho exchange when he said
that this would not be considered for
a moment, ns there was nothing to ar
bitrate. The arbitration, ho said, took place
long before tho strike occurred, when
at a meeting of representatives from
both bodies, the builders gave the
strikers a llnal ultimatum that their
demands would not be acceded to. In
fart, he characterized tho arbitration
scheme as almost nonsensical.
In regard to the statement made- nt
tho mooting by J. F. Hnmmos that
thero was a general tlo-up In force, he
pointed to tho bolt and nut works,
near which he was standing and upon
which a number of men were working.
"There's an example of the tie-up,"
he remarked, "and thero nre a num
ber of other buildings being erected
In tho city, despite the so-called tie
up. Ot course," he continued, "we are
hindered to a certain extent, but as
to the statement that there is a com
plete tlc-up. It is nonsense.
"It is simply a question as to wheth
er or not tho contractors shall hire
union or non-union labor and we aro
willing to light It out along this lino
If It takes all summer."
Ho said that the exchange was close
ly united for the reason that the
Building Trades' council was such a
well organized body that for a sln
glo contractor to attempt to fight It
would bo mere folly. Ho referred to
the methods of tho strikers as being
arbitrary and domineering.
In conclusion he stated that the only
concession which the exchange would
mnke, If It could be called a conces
sion, was to give tho men back their
old positions If they gave up the strug

CONTRACTOR O'HORO MAKES AN
ACCEPTABLE PROPOSITION.
Ho Offers to Comploto the Providenco
Sewer and Ask Only Such Money
na Is Actually Collected from tho
Assessments if tho City Will Agrco
to Enter Assumpsit Suit Against
Such Property Holders as Refuso
to Sign tho Waiver Mr. Vosburg
Approves.
A way has .been found out of tho
difficulty Into which the city was
plunged by tho failure to file within
the prescribed time the liens to In
sure collection of tho assessments for
the South Side sower and section C
of tho Fifth sewer district.
Vincent II. O'Horo, contractor of
section C, accompanied by his attor
ney I. H. Burns, waited on City Solici
tor Vosburg yesterday afternoon and
offered to sign an agreement to tho
effect that If tho city will covenant
to sua in assumpsit such of the prop
erty holders as may refuse to enter
a waiver of the Hen Irregularity ho
will go on with tho contract and bo
satisfied to nccopt only what moneys
tho city collects.
Mr. Vosburg gave tho plan his ap
proval and drew up nn agreement cov
ering tho offer. Mr. O'Horo will sign
It today and the solicitor will recom
mend to councils next Thursday night
that tho proper officers be authorized
to execute tho agreement on tho city's
ivirt.
A GOOD OFFER.
City Controller Vosburg considers
Contractor O'Horo's offer not only
fair, but magnanimous. It solves a
serious difficulty, ho says, for In ad
dition to saving the city from the re
sults of Its neglect it prevents the
threatened delay to the sewer and pos
sibly to tho pave.
Applying this solution to the South
Side case tho city will be out of the
woods. The property holders thero
are signing the waivers as fast as the
city can present them. Tho Lacka
wanna Iron nnd Coal company, which
is tho heaviest property holder In the
district, has agreed to sign. There
are few, if any, tho citizens' commit
tee says, who will decline to sign.
Should some property holders to
found who will be unwilling to sign
tho waiver an agreement covering such
cases can be made with the contractor
no doubt, such ns Is proposed to be
made with Mr. O'Horo.
Just how far the citv would be
mulcted If the plan In view fails to
carry cannot be definitely stated, oven
at the worst things are not ns ser
l.'tis as made to appear nt the select
council meeting.
In tho case of tho Providenco sewer,
tho contractor could hold the city liable
for so much of the work as had been
completed and besides would have
good grounds to recover for what pro
lit there was in the whole Job had It
been completed.
NOT SERIOUS.
On the South Side tho dlfTlcuItv was
robbed of its serious aspect by reason
of the fact that no work had been
dono and none would need to be done
until the city was satisfied to order
it to proceed, which, of course, would
not bo until the property holders had
agreed to pay their assessments with
out compelling tho city to bug for
them In assumpsit.
There was a story afloat yesterday
to tho effect that the South Wyoming
avenue sewer was In the same con
dition, but Mr. Vosburg made an in
vestigation and found It to be untrue.
