COMMISSIONERS SAY
IT MEANSJCONOMY
ADDITIONAL CLERKS WILL PER.
MIT OF LARGE SAVING.
By Keeping a Check on the Charges
for Witness Fees nnd Mileage Sev
eral Thousand Dollars a 'Year Will
Bo Saved Thiee New Clerks Who
Are to be Paid $2,100 n Year Will
Do tho Work that Cost $2,700 Last
Year When Done by Help Em
ployed fiom Time to lime.
No fotmal meeting of the county
comml'sloncis was held esterday, an J
the wotk of completing tho appoint
ments and living s italics went over to
some future date.
John P. Mahon was tho only one of
the new clerks to put In an appear
ance. He was assigned to the work of
keeping tabs on tho witness feis nnd
tho like, and at once enteted upon tho
duties of the position.
Tho commissioners- estimate that this
newly created position will lie tho
means of having from $C,000 to $10,000
annually to tho county. As Is gener
ally known, thu county In the long run
pas about nil tho costs that ate paid
In the ctlminnl courts, for If they at"
not directly chargeable against the
county they nre eventually saddled
thereon by the mulcted party declaring
himself tin Insolvent.
Heretofore no ptovlslon was made for
keeping tabs on attendance of wit
nesses and mlleago nnd the conse
quence was that a hot dp of profes
sional witnesses, and others whom they
posted, enteted claims for tho full limit
of fees, w hlch tho commissioners could
do nothing else but pay, as they had no
means of contesting the sworn claims
of the witnesses
CONSTABLES ACTIVE.
Constables wcip particularly nctlve
In making heavy chatges. One of them,
lor example, would have a couple of
cases befote tho grand July. Tho Jury
would be In session for ten dn.s and
Mr. Constablo would Invatlably charge
up ten dajs' attendance, although both
his cases might have been disposed ot
on the lltst or second day. As a nil"
tho constablo engineers tho chat gin?
up of fees for all the witnesses, In his
i.ase and the result was that eory wit
ness would ptcsent bills to confoim to
that presented by the constable.
Under the new iiirangcinont ccry
witness must teglster with tho commis
sioner's cleik, indicating the case ho Is
Interested In. When that case has been
disposed of tho cletk will rccotd the
fact and if the witness attempts to col
lect fees for any succeeding day or
dnjs ho will find himself In a comer.
It will also be the duty of this cletk
to keep a tecord of the insolvents, and
If eer a time should como when they
earn any money from tho county, in
the way of fco't, stop payment of It, nna
apply It to the liquidation of the bill
of costs which the Insolvents caused to
be saddled on tho county. An act
passed last ear specially authorized
this.
AVILL BE A SAVING.
Le.uing this salngs out of consid
eration, the commissioners say, the ad
ditional ofitcp fotce Is still an economy.
The otherthict new clctks will, It is
estimated, be paid $2,100 a ear, $7S0
apkee to two and J540 to the third.
Last year the commlssloneis paid to
transient clerks $.,,70!.50. The three
new permanent clerks will be able to
do all tho wotk the ttanslent help for
merly did and do It mote satisfactorily.
It will also sao tho commissioners the
annojanco which gtew out or the
milad of applications that piled In on
them ovety year for a pottlon of the
work that was thus fanned out.
HIS MIND AFFECTED.
Thomas Calligan Was Taken to the

Thomas Colllgan. of Bull's Head,
who was so severely Injutcd a short
time ago, bv being accidentally thrown

terday taken to the Hillside Home.
Colllgan has l)een at the Lackawan

He Buffeted ftom a ftactute at the

CHILD TERMIBLY BURNED.
Was Standing Near a Stove and Her
Clothing: Caught Fire.
About noon yistrday Margatct, thn
Infant child of Mrs. Whately, of
Chat lea stteet. was terribly burned.
She was standing near tho tiro In tho
kitchen when her skirl caught lire.
In a moment tho (lames had spread
oer her entire boe'v. and her set earns
attracted to tho spot her mother.
The latter tote tho child's srarments
oft', nnd In doing o bndlv burned her
own hands. Dr. Herman Hessey, tlu
out-door ph"sklatt of the pout boaid,
for the North End, was called to tho
house and applied various ointment i
to ease tho little one's pain. It wa?
desired that sho bo taken to tho Lack
awanna hospital, but In her condition
It was Impossible to remove her from
the house.
Tho child's nech, bteast nnd thighs
were ti rrlbly binned and her recovery
Is doubtful.
DIED FROM EXPOSURE.
Patrick McDonald Dropped on Provi
dence Road and Died Before
Assistance Could Be Rendered.
P.attlck McDonald, a miner icsldlng
on West Market stteet, was found dy
ing on Providence road, neat Diamond
avenue, yesterday morning. John Ulg
glns, who was standing or. tho porch
of the Euteka house, saw tho man fall
and as no eftort was shown by him to
Use Hlcglns went to his aid and found
the man was unconscious This was
In front of tho residence ot George
Orr.
Patrick Gavin, driver for the Provi
dence Ons and Wntor company, who
has known McDonald for several
years, was passing by at this time,
and he, with the assistance of Hlg
glns, lenioved tho prosttato in in to
tho Euteka. house. However, he died
befote medical aid could be rendered.
The Lackawanna ambulance, and
ph)s!clan were sent for nnd upon ex
amination the doctor pronounced the
man dead and tho cause posurp.
Both eats wete frozen, and as no
mat Its wore upon tho body, e'eath was
undoubtedly caused bv th" Intense
told. McDonald was a middle-aged
man and leaves a wife nnd four small
thlldien, a mother and one brother,
all of whom were derienilont upon the
deceased. Coroner Robet ts notified
Undertaker O'Donnell, who took charg
of tho body.
Cot oner Roberts examined the body
nnd camo to tho conclusion that no In
quest was necessary, as It was plainly
evident that the man had died of acute
pleurisy, btottght on by the totrlble
evposuro he had been subjected to.
AS A SPECIAL AUDITOR.
City Controller May Be Hired in
That Capacity.
Though court has decided that the
city controller has nothing to do with
school board affalts and though City
Troasuter Robinson has signified his
intention of cashing school board or
ders signed only by the president nnd
secietary of that body, It Is very 1m
ptobablo that such a course will be
adopted.
From what can be gathered fiom
several of the school controllets, the
city contt oiler will ptobably bo hired
as a special auditor of school board
affairs, as mentioned In )osterday's
Tiibttne. In addition to the counter
signing of warrants, there Is a large
amount of other work done by tho con
ti oiler which could hardly be dono by
either tho secretary or ptesldent of the
board, such as the discharging of the
bonds of delinquent tax collectots, the
auditing of bond coupons, the monthly
auditing of the school dlBttlct cash ac
count and other small matters.

ATTORNEY HARM
MAKES A STATEMENT
BAYS HIb REMARKS IN PITTS
BURG WERE MISQUOTED.
Does Not Deny That He Said There
Was Rate Cutting Done Here but
Avers That the Remark Was
Made Individually in an Informal
Discussion Among a Number of
tho Committeemen at the Conclus
ion of tho Business Had No Inten
tion to Cast Aspersions.
Concerning tho teport tlint ho haa
at n meeting of the general commit
tees of the Stato Bar association In
Pittsburg last Friday publicly accused
his fellow-members of the Lackawan
na bar with latc-cuttlhg and tho court
with laxity In the matter of punishing
lapses of professional proptlety, Attor
ney John M. Harris, upon his return
to tho city yesterday, gave to The Ttl
buno the following statement:
Tor tho purpose of placing ni)self In a
ptopcr light before the public and my
brother members of the Lackawanna, bar,
I respectfully submit tho following state
ment In reply to certain reports circu
lated with lefcrcnco to the proceedings
had before tho committee on legal educa
tion state Rar association, he-Id recently
ut Pittsburg, and In which I took a part.
Tho main purpose of the meeting was
to submit, for the consideration of the
committee, a proposed net of ussembly
regulating admissions to tho bar In the
various Judicial districts of the state, pro
vldlng for tho appointment of a board of
CMimlners by tho Supremo court of tho
state, and a uniform s)stem of examlna.
tlona to be held nt various points, those
places mentioned In the bill submitted
being Pittsburg, Harrlsburgr, Scranton
und Erie,
QUESTION OF ETHICS.
After n. lengthy discussion on the mer
its ot the bill as calculated to meet the
tequtrcments of tho rtato s)stcm of bar
I'Mimlnatlons, which consumed tho
grer.tei pari ot tho day, u resolution
wus presented, having teen referred to
the eommlttee on legal education by tho
State Bar uoclatlcn, and having rela
tion to the ethics of tho profession and
Intended to r.ilio tho professional stand
nrd of tho bar und cornet those abuse i
alleged to exist between attorneys, and
suggesting the pdortlon of a text book
on legal ethics to be added to the pre
scribed coutsfa of legal study. This reso
lution was ilhcussed b) tho various mem
bers of the Lcmmlttie ut somo length,
nnd certain abuses which have crept Into
the piofrsslcn In rcecnt yents were re
ferred to nnd eoc-ldcrcd. Tho proceed
ings had on this retclutlon, tho form of
which I have not In my mind, were pure
ly Informal In Lluuacter, tho members
being seated around u toblo, as the prin
cipal object of the day had been uicom
pllslied, Towntds the erd of the meet
ing, tho remarks umllnulng, I observed
Incidentally that 1 had noticed scuno of
tho abuses mentioned at the meeting,
m.vself, und had personally experience!
their effects und had heard various com.
plaints mado ng.ilrst such uhuws, and
rspeciall). legal rate cutting, by some of
my own bt other members of the Lacka
wanna bnr, as well ns by members of tho
bars of other counties.
I "tiersested that If a resolution was
passed and adopted by the State Bar as
voelatlon and n text book adopted as a
part of tho prescribed legal courses of
study, thr.t such backing us the ptovls.
Inns of ;ho resolution contained would
make the board of censors of the various
Judicial dl.ittlcts of tho state more elllc
lent In leachh.g tho members pi noticing
such abuses, nnd meting out proper pun
ishment: If the censors saw the case mer
Ited disbarment, thev might bo apt to be
more eouriigcons In tho dlschurgo of their
duties, than they would, by mero volun
taty nctlcn without such moral support.
WHERE HE STANDS.
I did not Intend to cast any aspersion
upon the court, my brother members of
tho bar, or criticise the board of censors
of the Lackawanna bar; nor did I do so
I have alna)H coeIck-ied them efficient
and possessing tho ccurago of their con
victions. I havo always held our court
In tho highest esteem. Tho i ourt does
not for u moment entertain any doubts
on this score. When awuy fiom homo,
no stronger champion of their learning,
Integrity mil ability can nn.v where bo
found. My rotations with my brother
member3 of tho bnr have been mutually,
loidlul, straightforwiiiil nnd honorable. 1
have never spoken of them except vvltn
respect, nnd I have, since my ndmlsstnn
to tho bar, indeavorid to maintain the
hlgbist standard of professional honor
nnd courtesy.
I trust tint my broiler membeis of the
bar nnd tho court will, from this state
ment, seo precisely how I was actuated
In the matter, and that II was the
furthest thing from my mind to reflect
upon them dlpnraglrgly: nnd that they
will accept this In tho good faith In which

The Carborundum Works.
This Is one of the new lndusttles at
tracted to Niagara Falls by tho use
of electricity. Carborundum Is a now
product, and Is used chiefly as tin abra
sive. It Is the hatdest substance
known except the diamond. Its manu
facture requires an Int'iisc and tegu
lar heat. This Is suprHec1 perfectly
by electricity, the teinpctaUiie ot the
furnaces being held at the exact degteo
of heat required during the process,
and by using the electric cttrtent In
large single unit, tho process of manu
facture Is greatly cheapened nnd sim
plified. Since the patents v. ere Issued on
this material tho demand" has boin
greater than the vvoiks have been nbl
to supply. For more than f! months
they have been running double time.
So great U this demand that tho com
pany find It necessary to double their
present capacity, which the) are now
doing. When this Improvement is
complete they will uso 2.010 horse
power. It Is anticipated large addi
tions to the buildings will be required
In tho near future.
Tho product Is used for polishing
marble and granite: also In tho fotm
of paper as a polisher in tho manu
facture of shoes. It takes tho pi ire
of the emetv wheel, and Is In general
use tis art abrasive In the practice of
dentlstty. Mr. E. G. Achcpnn Is tlu
Inventor.
