Plttston, March IS, On Wednesday
quo wairanto proceedings will HUely be
lommenceil against J. F. Schmaltz, re
cently elected burgess of Hughestown
borough, requiring him to show by
what reason he holds the office. The
proceedings are Instituted on informa
tion furnished by citizens of that bor
ough, who claim that Schmaltz has not
paid taxes for four years. Schmaltz,
on the other hand, claims that while
serving In the army In 189S he was ex
onerated from the payment of taxes
for that vear, which satisfies the law
requiring that a state or county tax
must be paid within two yeats In order
for a person to be eligible to office. It
Is said Dlstilct Attorney Martin is of
the opinion that Schmaltz cannot
legally hold the office, and the develop
ment of the case will be watched with
interest.

vent him from acting as a member of

ship, and being a member o'f the select
council at the same time. Judge Hal
sey bases bis opinion on the general
city net of 1889, which provides that a
man can not hold two municipal offices
nt the sume time. The Judge says that
the local poor dlstiict is a municipal
corporation and that Mr. Bohan can
not therefore legally hold tho two
offices.

FOREST CITY.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Forest City, March 14. A correspon
dent of tho Forest City News writes
as follows: "To the Editor of News:
I am not usually to bo' found In' the
ranks of the "kickers," but It seems
to me that It Is high time tho citizens
for Forest City demanded that the
board of health, the body which Is
supposed to guard the physical Velfare
of our people, became something more
than a farce. If a complaint is made
to the officers of tho board of health
they shirk the responsibility for Inac
tion by saying that their hands aro
tied; they havo no money from tho
council to carry on tho work. The
councllmen will, if approached on the
subject, find some excuse for their
sharo In the business and throw tho
blame on the board of health or some
of its members or agents. Meanwhile
the doctors fall to report cases of con
tagious diseases, or, at all events, no
action can be seen In regard to them.
Infected houses are not placarded and
the children In families afflicted with
disease mingle freely with playmates
from other homes. Within a month
I have had a child from a house In
which there was a patient suffering
with a contagious disease come home
with my children. There is. It seems
to me, criminal negligence somewhere
and the citizens should rise up In pro
test. The personal Interests or feel
ings of public officials should not be
allowed to stand in the way of the
public good."

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, March 13. Tho stock mar
kct today showed very plainly tho ef
fects of tho reduction of tho short Inter
est which accompanied ycHterduy's sharp
advance In prices. While yesterdny's
covering movement was in part the cause
of tho sharp advance. It was also tho re
sult of substantial buying, which was
attributed to largo financial Interests.
This buying was not In evidence today.
London also was disposed to take profits
on the news of the arlval of British
forces before Uloomfcnteln. But not
withstanding tho lack of aggressive
strength In tho market the bears showed
themselves timid about making fresh
ventures. There was some pressure
against tho list at times, especially Met
ropolitan. Sugar, People's Gas, Steel
Hooo and tho New York city stocks gen
erally. Missouri Pacific suffered from
disappointment over tho showing made
In the annual statement and Rubber was
raided down un extreme 3. These and
other declines were lurgely recovered be
fore the close, and In tho final transac
tion a sharp marking up of prices showed
that shorts among the traders were hav
ing difficulty In getting back the stock
ihov hnH wild earlier In the day. Offer
ings of stocks on nil recessions were In
raci extremely ngni, ana meru cic
points of strength which ncted as sus
taining factors for tho whole market,
notably Third Avenue, tho Atchison
stocks. New York Central and Norfolk
and Western preferred. It was thus
made manifest that while tho market
waits on developments In tho money mar
ked for a rlso holders of stocks aro pre
pared to make concessions to sell. Call
money did not command above 6 per
cent, and fell to 3 per cent., but this
was probably duo to the stopping of the
stock market demand as to any new sup
ply of funds. Tho loss of banks to the
sub-treasury since last Friday already
foot up $3,224,000, which Is more than half
the remaining surplus over the legal re
quirement held by the banks. It Is evi
dent, therefore, that relief from the op
eration of tho currency law must come
quickly If It Is to prevent a pinch In tha
money market. A feeling of assurance
caused by nn Intimation from Washing
ton that tho first payments of bonds
and premiums In tho refudlng operation
would ne mncio irom me suo-iruusuncs
ond not from tho government deposits
in national banks. The money maraet
Is expected to show relief from this
source more quickly than from tho put
ting out new circulation. A striking fea
ture of the day's events was tho sharp
break In Steillng exchange, demand
sterling yielding and cables 'Jc. in the
pound. Considering tho advance In Lon
don discounts, the selling of stocks for
London account heio and the reported
large subscriptions In New York to the
British loan, the course of sterling was
more remarkable. The explanation raay
be found In tho statement of merchan
dise exports from New York for the
