MAYOR MAKES REPLY.
Addresses a Communication to Boaid
of Underwriters Dealing with the
Board's Recommendations.
Heplying to the communication of the
board of underwiiters tiansmittlng
lecominendatlons for tho iinpiovement
of the fire depaitment, Jlnjoi Molr
esteiday addressed to Chalima'n I). J.
Cnmphell a lengthy statement showing
what steps have been, or are proposed
to be, taken to meet the Ideas of the
Insurance men.
The recommendation that a fully
paid station force nnd partly-paid call
force be substituted for the present
make-up of the department was passed
over by the mayor with tho statement
that tho flnnnclal conditions would not
permit of this being done. The piopo
sltlon to locate another hook nnd lad
der truck In the business pottlon of
the city Is not approved by the maor.
One Is sulllelent, ho thinks. He also
dlsagiees with the underwriters le
gardlng the need of larger engines In
the central city and an additional en
gine in the North nnd, tho cential city
engines being perfectly satisfactory,
and the noimnl hydiant pressure in
the North Knd being higher than that
of any steamer In the city
He nigues that the city should own
Its own fire-alarm system, if only for
economic icasons, and that Inspections
of buildings should be legulnrly con
ducted that the firemen might become
acquainted with their constiuction nnd
olso that any defects might be rem
edied.
The ordinances passed or pending,
providing for the hotterment of tho de
partment, such as the tire inaishal or
dinance, the repairs of apparatus ot
dlnance and the nidlnances looking to
the pui chase of more hose and horses,
weie enclosed with the communication.
It will be considered nt a meeting of
the underwriter today.

SCRANTON'S BANNER "
INDUSTRIAL YEAR
GRATIFYING REPORT FROM
BOARD OF TRAD15.
Very Deslrablo Additions Made to
tho City's Industries and More
Coming Project to Locate a Tin
Plate Mill Here Is Submitted to tho
Board and Referred to the Manu
factures' Committee Full Text of
Secretary Atherton's Interesting
and Gratifying Repoit.
The board of trade held Its first po.t
vacation meeting last nltrlit and wns
gratified with an Interesting report
from Secietmy Athcrton, showing that
this lias been the city's br.nner Indus
trial year and that the board of trude
Is mainly responsible for tho same.
The proposition to establish 11 tin plate
factory hero was also lecelved and dis
closed. Following Is Seeieatnij Ath
erton's jeport:
To the I'lesldent tind Membets, Scran
ton Hoaiel of Trade
Gentlemen: Inasmuch as the Indus
tilal growth of our cltv. dutlng the
present vVor, has ben so nintked, it
was thought that a hilef resume of
what has been accomplished along that
lino would not be amiss at this time.
Tho Kellnr Piano rnetoiy, which,
thiough our efforts, was induced to
move fiom Urielgeport, Conn., to Scran
ton, is working at Its fullest capacity,
employing 5.! skilled mechanics and
turning out twenty complete pianos
per week. They manufacture their
own cases, fiom the lumbei, "In the
lough," to the finished mahogany, wul
nut ot oak finish An enlargement of
the plant is one of the piobahllltles In
the near tuture. necessitated by tho
steadily Ineieaslng demand for their
product. Mr. Kellar speaks in tlie most
enceiui aging teims foi thu futuiu out
look for this business.
The Scianton Holt nnd Nut coni
panv's plunt Is now well advanced to
waid completion. The wniehouse and
fuctoiy are both under root and me
lolling milt building will be enclosed
in about ten days. Tills plant will
begin operations about November 1st.
so far as the llolling Mill Is concerned,
and will be In full operation on or- be
foie December 1st. employing at lenst
200 men. The plant Is being erecteel In
a most substantial manner and when
completed will be an up-to-date fac
tory. uuiijDings or hhick
The buildings aie of brick, excepting
the Rolling Mill, In which the best yel
low Pine Is used, being covered on the
outside with coiiugated iron sheets
The mill will be equipped with a 20
inch ' puddle train" and a 12-Inch fin
ishing tiain, by which the mateilal for
the finished pioducts of bolts and nuts
will be mnnufnctuied The C-acre plot
on Poplar street on which this plant Is
being elected will admit of the works
being lnci eased to twice Its piesent
size.
The capacity of the present plant will
be 10,000 tons of finished product per
annum, approximating In value $400,
000, of which theie will be disbursed
for labor at least $100,000 per annum
This Is without doubt one of the most
valuable Industries that Scianton has
ever secured, and Is destined to become
one of the largest.
On the corner of Monsey avenue and
Poplar stieet Is now being' constructed
a latgo silk mill, which will be owned
nnd opeiated by the Klots Throwing
Co, people of Caibondale In 1S97
through our efforts the Klots companv
opened a small mill in this city and
have since that time contemplated the
election of a more modern plant. The
mill now being built will be of brick,
ICOxlTO with an annev 26x118, three
stories high on the front, balance two
stories. Contract price $30,000, not In
cluding machinery. They will emplo
from 200 to 400 hands
The piano factory, the bolt and nut
works nnd tho Klotz silk mill are all
within a stones throw of each other and
when completed and in full operation
will convert that section fiom a quiet
suburban district to a verltib'e hive of
industry It will pay those who hao
not already done so to make a visit to
that section of the city.
PRINTING PLANT.
The Colliery Knglneer Co. aro about
to commence the construction of a
largo printing establishment necessi
tated by the lnige Increase In their
business. At the present time they nic
lu Ing this w ork done In New York city
to the extent of $100,000 per year. They
purpose concentrating all of this work
at their new plant In this city, which
will employ an additional force of one
hundred and fifty hands. The building
will cover nn entire block and will be
a first-cluss up-to-date establishment,
where all kinds of printing, engraving
and lithographing, exclusively for their
own business will be done.
The importance of tho extensive busi
ness of the Colliery Knglneei Co , to
the city of Scranton, Is little understood
by our people. The enormous amount
of work done by tho army of hands em
ployed, numbering nearly six hundred,
tho vast territory covered, comprising
practically the entire United States and
beyond the sea; the 110,000 students. 00,
000 of whom are active, that are re
ceiving Instruction In all tho technical
branches, dliect from the homo office
In this city, is certainly n wondeiful
achievement It Is also surpuslns: that
so few of our citizens especially the
members of the hoard of trade, have
visited this establishment, notwith
standing that n general Invitation has
been extended to the public and guides
are at all times In readiness to show
the visitors about.
For the past two years the Board of
Tiade has advocated some method
whereby our paved streets could be le
paiied and kept In lepalr for a deflnlto
period Through the efforts of the
members of this organization tho elty
councils havo passed certain legislation
which has resulted In putting our
stieets In first-class condition, and will
continue to keep them thus for tho
next ten years, at a price less per
square vard than Is enjoyed by nny
other clt In the state, all of which Is
very gratifying, and for that icason
Is most lespectfully submitted.
The report was received nnd itferred
to the publication commltteo to bo
placed before all tho members of the
board nnd the public generally.
THE MANNER YEAH.
President Keller said he agreed with
Sccretaiy Atheiton that this was the
city's banner Industrial year nnd that
th board wa& to ha congratulated, on
th results.
Colmel Hitchcock referred to tho
school of mines featuro of the report
and emphasized what tho secietaty hud
Fald about the Immensity of the Instl
tion. 'Tew Scrnntonlans," said Colon
el Hitchcock, "icallze Its nluo to this
city In tho way of ndei thing. It has
students nil over the world and Its
publications gei Into eveiy Ian J. It Is
of untold benefit to the city In this re
gard alone."
As an lnstnnce of the Immense busl-
ness done bv tho school, Secretary
Atherlon told that It buys $4,000 worth
of portage stamps at tho Scranton of
fice every month.
The pioposltlon of L. K. Torbet to
establish a tln-plnte factory In Scran
ton war) Hiibinltted by SecteUty Ather-
ton nnd referred to the manufactur
ers' committee.
The members of the. board evinced a
deep Interest In the project and piled
Secretary Atheiton with questions re
garding the details, all of which he
answered with a readiness that be
spoke a careful and painstaking study
ot the question.
Mr. Torbet's plnns call for a capital
of $200,000, of which ho will furnish
$25,000, This will permit ot the erec
tion of a $165,000 plant that will employ
400 hands, Two responsible parties
have agreed to take the entire product
of tho mill.
MR. I-OOMIS APPLIHS.
An application for membership was
received from K, V Ijoomls, superin
tendent of mining of the I.nckawanna
company. The resignation of Samuel
Hlnes was received nnd accepted. The
resignation of Theodore H Dibble, rep
resentatlvo of the Wnshbum & Moen
Manufacturing company, before It was
absorbed by tho American Steel and
Who company, wns held over.
A communication fiom the iiuffnlo
Merchnnts' Hxchange, booming the
Pan-American exposition, wus referred
to the tiansportatlon committee. An
other from the Philadelphia board, ask
ing the Scranton board to get up an
excursion to the export exposition, wns
"filed" on motion of Mr. Ionising, who
characterized the requestlis being Just
a tillle nervy. "Ict Philadelphia do
Its own booming," he said.
Colonel P. i, Hitchcock, .1. A laps
ing and W. H Peck were appointed a
special committee to frame subjects for
discussion to be submitted to the na
tional board of trade when It meets In
December.

As soon ns the avenue was reached,
Coleman made n dash for liberty, but
Chief Holding having bold of bis coat
neatly stopped him. Detective Molr

erful man, to tho ground and placed
the handcuffs on him
When searched nt headquarters he

sharp knife found In his possession
which tho police believe was ni.ed to
cut the handles of the satchel off.
