On December 29 the stockholder of the Lnckawantm Iron and Steel com pany will meet in this city to vote on u proposition to Increase th? uip.lal stock of the company from S.I.ICO.OOO to $25,000,001). The dlrect'iia ' the com pany In this city refused yesterday to I state the plans the company have un der consldeiatlon which would make, such a tremendous expansion of Its capital stock necessary. "There is nothing dcflnlt-i that I could tell you at this time about thu pluna of the conipnin." Kiid one of tho directors. "You know this is simply a pioposltlon to increase the capital Mock. It mav not tret with the np 1 proval of the stockholders. If Ilia i necessary permission Is given some i thing can then be said about the pur- pose In expanding the capital of tho i company. liven if tho capital is in- creaseil It does not necessailly toilow that the mills here are to be abandoned and others constructed. One thing I can say and It Is this, there will be no change In tho mills here for two years. ' Although the officials of the company hero are very reticent about the pur pose In Increasing the capital stock there Is no doubt that It Is linked with the plan to establish at Huffnl'j one ot the greatest steel rail nnd billet plants In the country. The mill at Uuffalo will 'jo built In the very near future and the December meeting In this city will decide whether I or not the Lackawanna Iron nnd Steel j company will go Into the new project I as a company. If It Is decided not to i ilo so the Uuffalo company will be per fected by men prominent In the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company nnd the work of constructing the plant will proceed.

THE After Declaring They Would Never Permit the Mayor to Ignore Coun cil in Pollco Matters the Giave and Reverend Seigniors of tho Upper Branch Break Rules and Precedents and Threaten tho furniture In Falling Over One Another to Ap prove His Honor's Action. After a siege of nearly two months, Helt'ut council, last night, uncondition ally sin rendered to tlii mayor in the police leinovul light. The romnval of Patrolmen Saul and Dyer was ap proved and the npio!ittlii"iit of Patrol men Special Olllceis Hockenberry and Davis In their stead was t'liitlimed. As may be believed nil thU was not done without some opposition. A sliong opposition led by Mr. Roche, fought aliuiitly to prevent the sur londcr with arguments, showing tho InconMsteiiLy of tho mayor's position, nnd the lrregul.it Ity of the proceedings, but the capitulation had boon piecon certcd nnd despite the fact that the. lontentlonn of the minority were ad mitted to be true, tnu preconcerted capitulation was carried out. Prior to the meeting the pullcj com mittee had n KiSJiuii to consider thu communication rent by tii.i mayor on October PJ, calling nttcntlon to his ac tion of August la. in i amoving Saul ami Dyer and appointing D.nls and Ilockcnberry. A leport was agreed upon leccm inendlng that the nction of the .iiayoi In removing Saul and Dyer be approved and that the appr.lntments of Hockon berry and Davis be coullrmed. Tho re port was signed by Messrs. James, Finn nml O'Royle. Messrs. Lansing and AlcAndiew declined to attach their signatures. Mr. Lansing would not favor tho dismissals but when council approved the dismissals ho favored '.he appointments of their successors. Mr. McAndrow did not approve cither ac tion. MR. ROCHK'S RHMARKK. When the report was presented to council, Mr. Roche arose and reaJ a communication sent up by the tontrol- i Icr at a lecent meeting enclosing tho bill of Messrs. llockenbery nnd Davis for services ns special po'leemen lor ten-days peilods, extending from Au gust IS to September 27. In all foity days at $2.S0 per day T1t; bill boro the endorsement: "Approved, James Molr, Mayor." "Now." said Mr. Roche, "accoiding to this bill these men weie appointed as special officers. According to the mayor's communication on which the committee reports tonight, they were appointed natiolmen to succeed Saul und Dyer. 1 can not see how thu mayor can hannonlze his actions. He appoints these men patrolmen on Oct. 19. nnd on the same day appoints them special olllcers. I can not understand how we can approve of his action as It stands. Some membeis of this council signed a report that was adverse to tho re moval of Saul and Dyer, and talked about the mayor attempting to usurp the powers of councils. Mow they sign a report favoring the removals. It looks to me like eating a good big dish of crow." Mr. O'Royle took Mr. Roche's re marks as being dlroted to him and said that It was true he had opposed the removals, behoving the mayor was usurping power that rested In council, and was of the same opinion still. The council, however, had opened the door to Messrs. Saul and Dyer to go Into court nnd secure a mandamus to com pel the mayor to put them bark on the force, but they failed to tako advant age of tho opportunity. One of them Is working and tho other Is going about the streets, taking no Interest whatever In tho matter, while the city Is making Itself liable all tho time for the salary of two SPts of ofllcers. O'ROYLK DORS NOT KNOW. Mr. Roche Interrupted with: "I would like to Inquire If the gentleman from the Klchteenth doesn't know of the case-stated which ex-City Solicitor Toriey has brought In the Interest ot Slessrs. Saul and Dyer?" Mr. O'Royle replied that he knew nothing about It except what was hear say. Mr. McCann moved to indefinitely postpone action on the report of the committee. This was lost by the fol lowing vote: Ayes Messrs. Thomas, Roche, Shra, McCann, Frable, Coyne, McAndrow, Wil liam s-S Nays Messrs. Ross, Finn, James, Mel. vin, Chittenden, Wagner, Schneider, San derson, rellows, Schroeder, Lansing, O'Royle. 12. "That's what I call eating crow," remarked Mr. Roche when the vote wns announced. Mr. Wagner asked to be Informed a3 to what time the pay of Hockenberry and Davis would elate from, the date of their appointment or the date of their conllrmatlnn. Mr. Sanderson said It was manifestly Impossible! for them to draw pay In both positions and there would bo no need to worry on that score. Mr. Roche wanted to Know which position they would be recognized In. Thai? was no getting away from the fact, Mr. Roche held, Continued on Pago 10 'I ho m.u kei In flooded with cheap kooiIh, nnd mo doubt many things lire bought that are adulterated nod unlit for con sumption.

Coursen Wholesale nnd Ketal TEED TOOK POISON. Regretted That He Did Not Succeed In Killing Himself. There Is an nlr of mystery about the case of K. S. Teed, who uttemptcd sui cide In the Hotel Jermyn, Monday night. Toed Is u traveler for the large harness, hnuso of Olmslead & Son, Syracuse, N, Y and his own home U In Trumnnrhurg, N. Y., where his fam ily Is considered onn of the best. Per sonally, also. Teed Is known as u splendid fellow. He Is about forty-live years old, and muirled. Monday morning he arrived in this city and teglstered at tho Jeitnyn. A little before) midnight he called a bell boy to his room and told hint he had taken poison. He was writhing around, In npparent agony, and the boy noti fied the night clerk, who Immediately culled Dr. Keller by telephone. The doctor urilveil on the scene and ad ministered an antidote to the poison, of which Teed had taken about two ounces, nnd which was u foim of mer cury. The doctor diligently worked on him and soon brought him to consciousness. Teed was far from grateful for his te coveiy, nnd only exptessed a regict that he had not taken a larger elose, and made awny with himself. No one seems to know of any motive for the deed. It Is, however, known that he suffered from hay fever In Its erj woist form, nnd It mny be that while suffering fiom n peculiarly vio lent attack ho tried to put himself out of his agony. After Dr. Keller had brought Teed to ( onscloiifliiess and health, he left him and the next morning all effects of the dose he had taken were gone, and he was apparently enjovlng good health. Terd left the hotel Tuesday morning, saying he wns going to iilnghumton. GILLETTE'S LATEST PLAY Novelist Doyle Suggested the Possi bilities of Sherlock Holmes to Him While in London. William fllllette, whose latest play, "Sherlock Holmes," was presented at the Lyceum again last night befoie an audience that was charmed and fase clnatcel Is one of the most Interesting characters on the stage today. Com paratively little Is known about him by the general public because he has a strong nverslon against talking about himself cither privately or for the public. He was seen on the stage of the Ly ceum after a rehearsal yesterday after noon by a Tribune man nnd asked to tell the public something about himself and his latest play. "Xot for worlds my dear fellow," was his quick reply. "I never do that suit of thing, you know. I am content to let tho public Judge the play from the front. It Is for them to say what they think about. My Judgement Is uf no consequence for I am responslblo for the play. "What suggested the Idea? Why Mr. Doyle It was that first called my atten tion to the dramatic possibilities of hla famous detective. It was more than a year ago when I was In London with 'Secret Service.' Mr. Doyle saw roe In that drama and was good enough to think 1 could do something with Sher- ' lock Holmes If he was placed on the stage. Finally Mr. Frohrnan's atten tion was called to the possibilities of n, drama with the detective a the central ngure and he at once became very , enthusiastic over the idea. They aroused my enthusiasm and I wont to work on the drama but found I could do little with It while acting. Toward the close of Inst season I wns In Cali fornia with the 'Secret Service' nnd there I laid off for six weeks and wrote the drama, it had Its first pres entation In Ruffalo last week and will be put on at the Uarrlck In New York next Monday night." When Mr. Gillette's attention was called to the fact that "Sherlock Holmes" Is what might be termed a man's play, that is, tli.it It will natural ly appeal more to men than to women he said: "Possibly it would have been better If the love story was projected moro prominently into the rlay but I could not do that you Fee without destroying the character of Sherlock Holmes. He wns a man who had nothing to do with that sort of thing nnd If I was to glvj the Mage something approaching thj man described by Mr. Doyle f had to repress the love Incidents so far as it was possible to do so." Mr. Gillette said he was much grati fied bv tho kind things that have been said about his play since It was first produced. He has been an actor for a number of years having been on thi stage for some time befoie' he began his caieer as a playwright. Marriage Xicenses. Perry Cletls 405 EdivnrdB court.

Over One Hundred Directors Weie Present Address of President Emery in Which Ho Urged Prog ressive School Management Lec ture on "Civil Government" by Dr. Mowry Supt. Taylor's Annual Ad dress Offering Numerous Valuable Suggestions to the Dlrectots. The school directors comprising tho School Dhcctois' Association eif Lacku wanna county, to the number of oven one hundred 'assembled yesterday In court room Xo. 2 and held their annual meeting. The meeting commenced ut 10 o'clock In the moinlngatid continued until about 3 o'clock In the afternoon. The meeting opened with an address by the retiring president, W. J. Finery, cm' Jefferson township. He opened his remarks by referring to the splendid system otifchools and of education In Lackawanna county at the present time and how It stands neatly ut the head of the list ot counties In the stale In educational matters. He then referred to the necessity for Improvement In the lino of new school buildings and how a properly heated, ventilated and lighted school room is as much n requisite towards the proper education of children ns tho teachers or the course of study. He said that with the; rapid aelvanoo of improve ments In nil of these lines that they should be given serious consideration. There should be progress In school management as well as In other things. SCHOOL LIBRARIES. Mr. Emery also told of the advan tages to be derived from a school li brary, no matter how small It might be, allowing as It does, a chance for the child to acquire a taste for tho good things of literature which have such rellulng inlluence. The next feature of the meeting was an addicss upon civil government by Dr. Mowry, lepeatlns many ot the things he said to tho teach ers on Wednesday and telling of the urgent necessity of teach ing this study In the schools. In tho course of his remntks he paid a com pliment to this state by saying that the township system prevailing In Pennsylvania is much superior to tho district system which Is in use In a number of the eastern states anil that this township system is rapidly sup planting the latter. A report of tho delegates to the state convention of school directors held last March was then read by C. V. Decker, of Newton. The report was very ex haustive and included extracts from some of the addresses delivered. When Mr. Decker had finished Pro fessor R. H. Martin, of Moscow, sang a baritone solo and then tho discussion of the report was begun. JITt, TAYLOR'S COMMENTS. Superintendent Taylor said that tho efforts of the Lackawanna deleuatlon at the last convention were concen trated in an attempt to secure the passage of a resolution providing thai county directors' associations ho recog nized by law and that state funds bs appropriated to defray the expenses of the annual meetings. Mr. Taylor said that ho had offered this resolution but that it was lost by a vote of 40 to 20. Continuing he said that he considered the question not only feasible but necessary. The state gives money to meet the expenses of the county Insti tutes, why not money to meet the ex pense of the directors' meetings. Ho told how these meeting" were of ln calulable benefit, familiarizing the di rectors with progressive educational ideas and allowing an Interchange of opinion on educational matters. Mr. Taylor was followed by Director U. H. Holgate, of LaPlume, who spoke along the same lines and said there w as no gooel reason why n. law such as had been discUFseel should not ba passed. Other speeches were made In favor the movement and finally upon motion of Director Watklns, of lilakely, a resolution was passed that It was tho sense ot the meeting that a law be passed legalizing county associations. OFFICERS ELECTED. A recess was then declared anil when the diiectors again convened In the afternoon tho election of officers was the first order of business. Tho following were elected, to serve during the ensuing year: President, A. D. Dean, of Waverly: first vice-president, J. N. Oiowles, of Scott; second vice pi esldent, William Walker, of May field: secretary, U. II. Holgate, of La Plume: treasurer, John C. Tuthlll, of Blakely. There was not contest except for tho office of treasurer. Tho nominees were J. C. Northup, of Olenburn and John C. Tuthlll of niakcly. Tuthlll was elected by n voto of "3 to 17. Superintendent Taylor delivered the annual addicts after tho d-etlon of of llcers was finished. In opening ho told of the growing tendency of parents to keep their chlldien away from si hool and send them to work partlou'aiiy on the farm and in the breakers and of the necessity of mee'lng this dlf llculty. He dwelt pnitlcuUily on what ha eald has been his hobby for a 'lumber of years, namely, the consolidation of the school districts among thnpifelvca anil the establla vii'.lt ff one pradr.J school for tli higher srade'i to t.u at tended by th' pup I? from a'l of tho combined district. He also urged that tho position of secretary of the various school boards h" made peimanent one lnrtoad of cli'inglng from on man to another evry little while. An Interesting discussion on text books and their purchip followed tho superintendent'' remark afar which the meeting adjourned.
