DEATH OF T. J. M'TIGHE.
Ono of the Best Known Young Men
in the County.
A sad death occurred yesterday morn
ing when Thomas J. McTIghe fell a vic
tim to typhoid fever, with which he
had been confined to his bed since the
week of the state llremen's convention.
Mr. McTIghe was exceedingly well
known and popular In Lackawanna vla
ley, especially In this city and Carbon
dale, of which latter place he was a
native. He was 33 years old, and the
son of Bernard nnd Catherine Mc
TIghe. He came to Scranton while yet
a boy and about 15 years ago was a
clerk In the Western Union telegraph
office, where he became an operator
of rare skill. Later on he became a
postal agent In the United States, mall
service between Carbondalp and Nin
eveh. On his father's death some
years ago he took charge of the lat
ter's business Interests in Caibondale,
and conducted them very successfully.
In 1892 he married Miss Kllen Clune,
daughter of the piosperous Carbon
dale merchant, John Clune. In 1893,
associated with Joseph Melvln, his
brother-in-law, he came back to Scran
ton nnd took charga of the Hotel
American on Franklin avenue, and last
spring ho assumed charge of the West
minster hotel, and was conducting It
most successfully when his career was
so untimely cut short.
Thomas McTIghe was a true gentle
manfl a kind friend and a genial com
panion, and his sad death Is regretted
by nil who knew him.
He Is survived by his wife and four
little children, his mother, ono sister,
Mrs. T. F. Walsh, of Green BIdge, and
two brothers, John, of Cripple Creek,
Col., and James B,, of Carbondale.
The funeral will take place on Thuis

quiem at St. Peter's cathedral, inter
ment will be In the family plot In St.

LOCAL ARCHITECTS
AND Y. M. C. A PLANS
DO NOT RELISH THE APOLOGY
MADE FOR THEM.
Claim That the Prize Winning Flans
Cannot Be Carried Out for Any
thing Like 8150,000 Will Exhibit
the Flans Made by the Local Arch
itects nnd Give tho Fubllc an Op
portunity of Comparing Them with
tho Work of tho Successful Out-of-Town
Men.
The following wns yesterday contri
buted to The Tribune:
"The nrtlcles appearing In Monday
morning's Issue of tho Scranton ta
pers announcing tho winners of the
prizes for tho proposed Young Men's
Christian association building, also ac
cusing tho Scranton architects who en
tered the contest ns being slow, etc.,
calls for u statement of the case from
the architects of Scranton.
"The letter to the architects announc
ing the competition and rules govern
ing the some were sent on July 18 of
this yenr. The plans were to be In by
September 20. In section 12 of the pros
pectus is the following:
XII. Should tt appear that any of the
designs thus selected would exceed In
cost tho limit of ono handled and fifty
thousand dollars (J130.000), tho Trustees
shall employ nil experienced building con
tractor to examine them, and should he
report that they could not bo executed
for the Bum of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars (SlSo.COO) without such
alterations as would radically niter the
design, sucli design or designs shall be
rejected nnd others selected In their plnce.
Tho report of the nward shall then be
prepared and announced.
TIME WAS EXTENDED.
"tTp to August 14 we all worked with
the understanding that September ?0
would be the limit of time. On August
IT. nn extension of time was given until
October 15 In which to finish our plans.
Up to September "0 fifteen days before
the competition was to close, we woiked
with the understanding that the build
ing should not cost more than $150,000,
as mentioned above In the quotation
from the prospectus.
"In section 8 of the prospectus Is the
following:
VII. Tho proposed building Is to cost
not exceeding one hundred and llfty
thousand dollars ($110,000), Including tho
heating and ventilating nppnrutus.plumb
lng and wiring, but exclusive of furnltuie,
elevators, bowling alleys, lockers and
gymnnslum apparatus.
No design which In the judgment of the
examiners appears likely to exceed serl
oiihly tho above limit In cost, will b
premlated or considered for adoption.
"On Sept. 30 the following note was
wiltten to the architects,:
Scranton, Pa., Sept. 30, ISM.
I. The requirement calling for a
"Bona Fide" bid from a lepulable build
er, has been changed to "a careful esti
mate of your own."
If. ProisInn rejecting plans exceeding
limit of cost, set uMdt. The winner Is
the ono wjio comes nearest to It however.
III. Read "Elevation" not "Elevations"
In .section 8. paragraph ,1.
Geo. G. Mahy
ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS.
"September 30 came on Saturday.
The dale bears the stamp of the nost
ofllee that of October 1. It was deliv
ered Monday, the second day of Octo
ber, thirteen days before the competi
tion wns to close. Could we. in rea
son be expected to drop our work, upon
which we hud labored since July 19,
nnd piepare In thlrteeh days, plans
which would tickle the eyes of judge
nnd committee, b adding details which
we had honestly believed could not be
carried out on a building costing $150,
000' Why was not this Inst circular
sent to us one week nfter the com
petlton opened Instead of thirteen days
before It closed'
"The 'first prize' cannot be built lire
proof as It now Is for anywhere near
tho nmount mentioned In the pros
pectus. The 'second prize' would cost
In the neighborhood of $230,000"to build
ns It now stands.
"The public Is liable, after the con
tests of this character are ended to
judge uny protestors as soreheads. We
are not sore, but we are Indignant.
"Comparing our work with that of
outside talent, we are more than cvrr
convinced that It was wrong to go out
side of- Scranton In conducting this
competition.
WILL GIVE EXHIBITION.
"There would have boon three prizes
of $250 each to stay In our city and a
first prize of $1,000 still further in
creased to $7,500, being 5 per cent, com
mission for the winning architect. We
Intend having our Scranton people see
that we are rot slow, by giving them
n public exhibition of our efforts,
"The citizens of Scranton are expect
ed to pay for the erection of the build
ing by subscription and It Is but fair
to the town architects that a uublle
exhibition be held In order that their
work might be compared with those of
the Imported talent. The newspapers
made comments upon the small number
of local architects entering the compe
tition. They wore afraid that just
such small treatment would crop out
In this competition. It cost each arch
itect between $250 nnd $300 to prepare
each set of plans submitted. Wo
would like to hear expressions from the
people.

MB. MAIIY'S STATEMENT.
Secrctniy Mahy when shown the
above last evening stated that all he
had to say on the subject wnB that the
award had been made by Profes
sor Hamlin, of Columbia UnlveYstty,
who has the reputation of being a fair
square nnd ImpartfaTjudgc In contests
of the kind Just closed.
Mr. Mahy stated that Professor
Hamlin stood very high In tho es
teem of the Architectural association
and that he had been seen rd by the
building committee for the nbovj
mentioned reasons. Ho said that the
professor's written report ns to why
he selected the plans of Seymour Davis
as the best will reach this city some
time this week.
In conclusion Mr. Mahy remarked
that the detailed architectural esti
mate of the cost of 'the prize winning
building which nccompanled the plans
Is Just $100 less than the ilxed 'limit. It
being exactly $140,900.
The allegation that tho Scranton ar
chitects were "slow" wus not made to
the Tribune by tho Y. M. C. A. au
thorities and did not appear In this
paper. One local paper on Its own ac
cord did, however, make tho com
ment. PATROLMAN SAUL'S CASE.
Amicable Suit Agreed Upon by Mr.
Torrey nnd Mr. Vosburg.
City Solicitor Vosburg and James
H. Torrey, attorney for Patrolman
James Saul, yesterday agreed upon a
case stated In the demand made by
Mr. Saul for salary which he claims to
be due him by the city. The document
will be presented to coutt today and
an opinion on the matter Is expected
by Saturday next.
The document Is simply a brief and
careful review of the facts in the case,
Including Mayor Molr'a 'otter to coun
cils InforrrTlng them of his removal of
Saul on Aug. IS, and also his letter In
which he Informs them o' bis appoint
ment of ''lotkenberry The fact that
Kel"ct coui'dl has neve.' approved of
the mnyo', lemovul of fcaul Is also
b ought out.
The fact that Saul drew but seven
teen days' pay for tho month of Aug
ust and that he now demands the bal
nnce lor August and for the entire
month of September, claiming that he
has not been legally lemoved Is then
taken up and the concluding "luuso Is
ns follows:
"If the touit shall b of the opinion
of the foiegoing stated f.i.cts that the
plaintiff Is entitled to recover then
judgment to be entered for the balance
of Ids salary as patrolma:i 'mm the
eighteenth day of Augu. 1S99, to the
first dey of October, 199, or $107.60,
with costs of suit, or such part there
of as the court ,1nd h'm entitled to;
otherwise judgment to be entered for
defendant with costs. '
THERE IS STILL A DOUHT.
Park Improvement Ordinance Hav
ing Its Own Troubles,
There are doubts existing as to
whether the $30,000' bond Issue for the
improvement of the public parks can be
issued. Park Commissioners Bedford
and Scranton tnlked the matter over
yesterday with Deputy Controller Hart
ley and went away not altogether sat
isfied with the outlook.
A statement of Indebtedness must
first be drawn up before the Issue can
be made nnd Controller Howell Is
working on this now. It will be unlike
the last statement prepared In 189S,
Inasmuch ns tt wll be up-to-date, that
Is, up to Oct. 31, while the other state
ment above referred to was only up to
the beginning of the fiscal year.
This question has also been a much
discussed ono ns to whether the state
ment should be up to date or whether
it should 'only date to the beginning of
the fiscal year.
Controller Howell will not commit
himself as to whether there will be a
sufficient margin available, but when
the city's portion on sewers nnd un
satisfied judgments are taken Into con
sideration the general concensus of
opinion seems to be that the outlook
for the Issuance of the bonds Is veiy
dubious.

LECTURE ON THE CONFESSIONAL
First of n Series Under the Auspices
of the Newman Club.
Bev. P. J. Loughran, of the Cathedral
delivered the first or i sriles or his
torical lectures before the Newman
club at tho Guernsey building last
night, taking as his theme, "The Con
fessional." He took up the claim that private
confession was a creation of the Fouith
Lateran council In tho Thirteenth cen
tury, and proceeded to lefute It by
quoting references to pi Ivate confes
sion from writings of almost every
century of the (iulstian era preceding
that time. Public confession, Bev.
Father Loughran, claimed, was prac
ticed, but was not considered necessary
to tho sacrament of penanc. It was al
ways subsequent to private confession
and was a discipline Imposed only for
satisfaction ant1 edification.
At the conclusion of the lecture th-
club was entertained with two vocal
duets bv Mrs. Joseph O'Brien and
Mis. J. W. FltzGlbbon, Miss Nellie
Beamish acocmpanylug. Next Tuesday
night the club will conclude Its Iltetary
exercises with a Hollow e'en social.
