When The Tribune Is scooped It Is willing to acknowledge the corn and If It Is a big beat It possesses mag nanimity enough to pat Its successful competitor on the back. Thus: In one of Its contemporaries yester day there appeared a thrilling, double leaded, dlsplny-headed story of the scenting of n bad odor and a dead body In the explosion wreck. The Tribune's young men, while they may have a long and sharp nose for news, evi dently are short and dull of proboscis when It comes to odors and their prob able causes, for nary a line had The Tribune of death having attended Sat urday's wreck and ruin. Hut there was a fatality. To speak more correctly there were fatalities. Nine lives were lost. The terrible discovery was made yesterday morning at 10.14 o'clock. It belonged to Miss Ilaefey and was a high-bred Maltese cat that has been a household pet for years. William Kessler, one of the clerks In the Merchants' and Mechanics' bank, found the remains of poor tabby crushed beneath a pile of bricks near the westerly side of the vault on what was the level of the bank iloor, while he was engaged In searching for some missing papers. Tabby was gathered up In a shovel and consigned to the dump with other debris. And the display-headed, double leaded story Is vindicated. THE HOT WAVE IS STILL WAVING Thermometer Did Not Climb as High Yesterday as on the Preceding Days, but It Did Fairly Well. And still the warm weather reigns supreme. Men continue to walk the streets making savage comparisons between the atmospherical conditions on Lack awanna and Wyoming avenues and the climate of a place, the title of which Is not to be spoken above a whisper. "Nothing like training for the future," the thin funny man remarks, with an Imp-like grin, to his friend whose avoirdupois goes up above the 200 mark, and the unfortunate cor pulent one Is too weary to hurl the nearest cobble at the humorist, but 13 forced to crack a weak smile. And that Is one of the baneful ef fects that the sun-god and his train must answer for. Yesterday was another one of those red-hot, steaming days to which Scrantonlans are now becoming ac customed. The average for the day was SI degrees. The mercury wasn't particularly ambitious and didn't rise any higher than 92 degrees, but stayed about that mark all day, except in the early morning, when 70 degrees was the order of the day. However, 92 degrees Isn't exactly cold, and there wasn't any need of fur lined overcoats or sealskin wraps yes terday. The weather continues to bring out more converts to the shirt waist Idea, and the original exponent of the fad In this city can now enjoy the sight of scores of youths walking the streets In all the glory and comfort of a neat looking negligee shirt and belt, un hampered by coat and suspenders. Every day brings more disciples out, and the fad is dally gaining a stronger foothold. Every now and then the pioneers In the movement run up against a snag, and many and varied are the tribulations of the shirt waist man. One peculiar thing about the heat is the fact that warm as It Is, very few cases of heat prostration occur. All summer, as many fiercely warm days as there have been, but two patients have been received at the Lackawanna hospital who were overcome by the heat, and the various city physicians report very few cases as having come under their care. The weather Is terrible, however, upon men employed on the roads, and all who are compelled to be out In the glare of the sun, and the sooner there Is a change in the atmospheric con dition the better It will be. A valuable horse, belonging to the Casey & Kelly Brewing company, was overcome by heat on Penn avenue, near Linden street, during the after noon and was dispatched by the aid of chloroform. FUNERAL OF G. W. SCHLAGER. In Charge of the Peter Williamson Lodge of Masons. Reposing In a handsome, sombre cas ket the remains of George W. Schlager were gazed upon yesterday afternoon In the Penn Avenue Baptist church by hundreds of friends. The body rested a short distance In front of the altar, and the casket was covered with a wealth of beautiful floral pieces wreaths, crescents, loose flowers of ali sorts, roses, lilies of the valley, hand some blossoms which enriched tho air with their fragrant perfume, and bore silent witness to the number of thn deceased's friends and the universal compassion felt for the bereaved mem bers of his family. At 3 o'clock ilie church was well filled, many friends of the deceased being present and all passing befoio the spot where the remains of their friend reposed, nnd taking a lust look at tho peaceful face. Tho first rows of seats were occu pied by the members of Peter William son lodge, Free and Accepted Order of Masons, of which the deceased was n. member. The members attended the obsequies In a body, and It was from their ranks that the six pall-bearers were selected. The services were In charge of Rev. Dr. Harris, of Taylor, and Rev. P. F, Klzelman, of the Mifflin Avenue ZIon Lutheran church. Rev. Harris offered up prayer, asking a blessing on the soul of the deceased and the sorrow ing members of his family. A quar tette, under Professor Haydn Evans, then rendered several well executed selections, and Itev. Zlzelman gave a prayer In German. Both clergymen pronounced eulogies of the deceased, speaking In the high est terms of his character, and com miserating his wife, children and tho other members of his family. The remains were then taken to tho Dunmore cemetery for Interment, Undertaker Price being In charge of tho proceedings. The pall-bearers were Frank II. Jcrniyn, Frank W. Heavers, J. James Taylor, E. II. Lynde, J. tv. U. Coleman and Fred Warnke. Tim '. flower-bearers wero Alex. Dunn, Emll vveicnei, Charles Welchel, William Craig, William Kelly and Del Rogers.

Running Expenses Will Have to Bo Metiwlth Promises if Councils Do Not Come to Mr. Zlzelmnnn's Aid Ordinance Allowing Him a Llttlo Over $2,000 Introduced in the Lower Branch Mr. Keller Charges His Fellows with Irre sponsible, Ridiculous Legislation. Ex-Chlcf Walker's activity In the matter of putting the fire department on a first-class fighting basis has left his successor to face the problem of running the department for the re maining eight months of tho fiscal year on that least substantial of all concrete things wind. Chief Zlzelmtinn- tells about his di lemma In these words and figures, composing a communication addressed to common council last night: Scranton, Pa., Aug. 0, 1000. To tho Select and Common Councils. Gentlemen: I hereby call jour attention to the condition of the several Items of the appro priations for the flro department, as, they stand on tho books on the first day of August, 1U00, the date on which I was inducted into the oltlce of chief of the fire department; also claims stand ing against the appropriations that have not been paid, but filed in this office: 13.il.nicc.

W. Zlzelmann, Chief of I'ire Department. GETTING THE MONEY. The report was received and Its rec ommendations adopted on motion of m. v. Morris, and later Mr. Morris In troduced an ordinance making trans fers from various unexpended balances as follows: ltepair of apparatus and harness $ NM Supplies joo Medicines jj Kepairs of engine houses SOO Incidentals "1 Repair of hose p,o Purchase of hjdrsnts 'juo Repair and erection of hydiants ::00 2,12 Chief Zizelmann would not have any one read from his letter any crltclsm or reflection on his predecessor. He was himself a member of tne fire de partment committee which directed these expenditures and Is satisfied, he says, that they were Judiciously made. The ordinance making the additional appropriations was ordered printed If reported favorably, that It might be hurried through to the mayor. The following ordinances were passed on final reading and only require the mayor's signature to them operative: Providing for an additional permanent man for the Franklin Engine com pany; providing for telephones for the Cumberland and Crystal Hose com panies; providing for tho extension of the Cedar avenue block pave to Birch street: providing for sidewalks on Parker and Throop streets, and on Gibson street, between Capouse and Washington avenues, and on portions of North Main avenue and Providence road In the Twenty-first ward; pro viding for a lateral sewer on Delaware street In the Thirteenth ward, and providing for the transfer of $205 for the repair of Jackson street beyond the Keyser Valley branch of the Lackawanna road The ordinance transferring $1,000 to the appropriation for repairing West Market street passed third reading. ON TWO READINGS. Ordinances were passed on first and second readings providing as follows: For closing Kressler court on the new armory site; for opening Poplar street across the Delaware and Hudson tracks In accordance with the previous dedication to and acceptance by the city; for the transfer of $90 to pay for paving in front of property of the Hundley estate on Penn avenue; for the transfer of money to pay for a lire alarm box at the corner of Luzerne and Twenty-first street, a permanent man for the Century Hose company and eleven more electric lights In vari ous portions of the city. These .last mentioned transfers called forth the usual objection from Mr. Keller. The Judgments and inci dentals fund, from which the ordin ance directs the money to be taken, Is exhausted, Mr. Keller says, and as the next meeting he will present fig ures to show that, not only Is the fund exhausted, but that there Is outstand ing against It some $30,000 or $40,000 In claims that are drawing a high rate of Interest and which should be paid off before any more deficiencies are Incurred. Ho declared himself as not opposed to the measures, but rather to tho method of providing for their opera tion. "It Is most outlandish. Irrespon sible legislation." said Mr. Keller with vehemence, as he concluded: "It al most borders on the ridiculous." CONCURRED IN. Select council resolutions were con curred In as follows: Directing the city solicitor to petition for the ap pointment of viewers for a sewer to drain the territory bounded by 'West Lackawanna avenue, Ninth stre.u, West Linden street and Chestnut street, In the Fourteenth ward; per mitting the construction of a private Bewer on Tripp street, between North Main avenue and Providence road; re jecting the bid for constructing tho Nineteenth district sewer nnd direct ing the city clerk to re-advertlse the contract, using Scranton, New York and Philadelphia papers; permitting that No, 9 school be temporarily con nected with the Weir place sewer: au. thorlzlng the sale of tho stone crusher: directing tho street commissioner to wiuiisiiiir tne snie nr inn sinnn prnsiiat. 1 strictly enforce tho provisions of the uruiimnce regulating street excava tions; requesting tho park commls Bloners to secure, if possible, from tho school district unused school seats and placo them In Nay Aug park. Resolutions were Introduced and ap proved as follows: M. V. Morris Directing the city en gineer to make monthly estimates of the pavlnff work on North Main ave nue, and a final estimate It the com pletion of the contract. Mr. Godshall Authorizing the proper city authorities to glvo a deed for the property on Wyoming avenue, north of Phelps street, as soon as It Is Bold. Mr. Phillips Exempting St. Mary's cemetery from 1895 taxes, which were erroneously assessed. Mr. Wcnzel Directing that the Jer sey Central and Ontario and Western companies be notified to sheet the deck of the Lackawanna avenue bridge over their tracks to prevent steam and smoke from coming through tho crev ices and frightening horses. Mr. Coleman Directing tho street commissioner to construct a sewer basin at tho corner of Washington avenue and Pine street. CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES. Two claims for damages were trans mitted by City Solicitor Vosburg. One came from M. F. Wymbs. of 1112 Jack son street, through Attorneys Cawley & Shenn. Mr. Wymbs wants $80 for a large plate glass window that was broken May 30, 1900, by tho Columbia Hose company's team taking to the sidewalk nnd Jamming the pole of tho wngon against tho glass. The other claim was presented by Mr. and Mrs. L. Drlesen, through At torney Ralph L. Levy. Whllo walking on Jefferson avenue near Olive street, on the evening of June 21, Inst, Mrs. Drlesen encountered the street clean ing gang's elevated hose, and was In the act of stepping over It, when the hose started off on its train of wheels, caught Mrs. Drlesen by the foot, drag ger her twenty-five feet and sprained her knee. Mr. Levy says his client will accept $200 to settle tho case. Both claims were referred to tho Ju diciary committee. In the absence of the chairman, Prl ato W. V. Griffiths, of the Thirteenth, Mr. Grler presided. PIECE OF THE WALL TUMBLED DOWN Patrick Lally and Patrick Kelly Were Injured While Clearing Up Debris from the Explosion. Two more are to be added to the list of those whose Injuries are attribut able to the explosion at the Merch ants' and Mechanics' bank, and again is a miraculous escape from fatalities to be recorded. Yesterday morning Contractor Be nore's men began repairing the roof of the Andrew Campbell building. Contractor Williams' men were at work In and about the wreckage of tho Blair building, which adjoined. Through some one's neglect the men below were not warned that the loos ened walls at the top of the Campbell building were about to bo disturbed, and when a piece of the wall Just at the cornice, weighing about two tons, was accidentally dislodged and came tumbling down five stories Into the basement of the Blair building it found the Williams' workmen for a target. Fortunately, however, no one was killed and only two Injured. A block of bricks struck Patrick Lally on the right hand, as he was picking up a piece of timber, and broke three fingers, besides cutting and bruising his whole hand. Patrick Kelly was hit on tho right shoulder by a single brick, but as the blow was a crlanclnir one, he escaped with a slight bruise. Lally was taken to the Lackawanna hospital and Kelly went home. Benore's men, it appears, warned tho Williams men that they were about to "Jack" the sunken roof and the Williams men withdrew. After the roof was Jacked up the foreman of the Williams ment went to the top of the Campbell building to satisfy himself that everything was all right and, deeming that It was, allowed his men to resume work. Tho Benore men, however, began to do some wedg ing to make the roof level and In their operations caused tho piece of wall to become dislodged. They claim they sent a man down to warn the Wil liams men to'stand off for awhile, but, If they did, the man took his own time In getting down or those on top be gan their operations In a hurry, for the wall was down first. The work of tearing down the rear wall of the bank building Is under way and the walls of the Lorenz building are to follow next. When these latter are down the wreckage of the bank building will be removed. A DETAILED(DESCRIPTION. Detective Moir Receives Letter from Wilmington. City Detective John Molr yesterday morning received the following letter, which gives a detailed description of the boy who was killed In Wilmington, Del., Aug. 2. It Is from Chief Massey.

CLAIMS REYNOLDS OWES HIM MONEY W. P. ROLAND TELLS WHY HE WON'T GIVE UP STOCK. Alleges That Reynolds Enlisted His Services in Carrying Through a Deal with tho Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Company and Until Such Time as Ho Receives His Promised Pay, He Feels Un willing to Give Over. tho Stock He Holds in Trust for Reynolds. Another hearing was had yesterday before Judge Edwards In the equity case of H. B. Reynolds against C. G. Roland, W. P. Roland, J. A. Mears and the People's Coal company, In which Mr. Reynolds seeks to secure the re transfer of $10,000 worth of People's Coal company stock which he alleges was assigned to W. P. Boland In trust. Vs told at length In yesterday's Tribune, S. N. Stettler, the principal stockholder and owner of tho leuses under which the company proposed to operate .objected to Mr. Reynolds hav ing any interest In the company nnd to overcome his objections, It was ar ranged by the other stockholders that the Reynolds Interests should bo as signed to W. P. Boland until such time as the company had secured the con trol of the leases and then Mr. Rey nolds should again bo let Into tho com pany whether or not Mr. Stettler was Willing. The stock was duly assigned to W. P. Boland and the company got under way. Then Mr. Reynolds sought to have his stock re-transferred, but Mr. Boland refused to glvo It up. OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY. Mr. Reynolds, In his bill of complaint, nlleged that it was a scheme to cheat him. The defense, however, shows that thpre Is nnother side to the story. About tho same time the People's company wns In course of organization, H. B. Reynolds was negotiating with President Truesdale, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company, for tho sale of the Avondale Coal com pany on the bonds of which he hnd an option. Mr. Reynolds, who at that time had an office In th Fame suite of rooms as the Rolands, knew of the In timate acquaintanceship of W. P. Bo land and John W. FltzOlbbon, superin tendent of motive power and machin ery, and a relative of President Trues dale, and thought that by enlisting Mr. Bolnnd's services, he could secure suf ficient Influence to have his Avondale proposition given due consideration. He approached W.'P. Boland on tlus subject and an agreement wns reached whereby Boland was to be handsomely remunerated If he succeeded In getting the Lackawanna people to take tho Avondale company's holdings from Mr. Reynolds. Mr. Boland says the com mission was to be $10,000. Mr. Rey nolds places It at $5,000. PROPERTY SOLD. After considerable correspondence and several personal Interviews with President Truesdale, the Lackawanna company took the Avondale property. Mr. Boland says It was through his In fluence that the deal was consummat ed. Mr. Reynolds admits Mr. Boland made an attempt to effect the sale, but failed, and that ho himself then took the matter up, and by modifying the offer to a large degree succeeded In making the sale. Mr. Boland he says had nothing whatever to do with the netual sale. Ho was given an opportunity to carry It out and failed, and from that time on was not known In the matter. Mr. Boland, on the other hand, con tends that It was through his agency the sale was effected and because Mr. Reynolds will not pay him tho prom ised $10,000 commission he holds the $10,000 worth of People's company stock which was assigned to him In trust. C. G. Boland, Charles du Pont Breck, and H. B. Reynolds wero the witnesses examined yesterday. Another hearing will take place next Wednesday nt 3 o'clock a. m. GRAND AND PETIT JURORS. Drawn Yesterday by the Sheriff and Jury Commissioner. A grand Jury for the September ses sion and Jurors for the October term of quarter sessions were drawn yester day by Sheriff C. E. Pryor and Jury Commissioners Frank Doherty and C. A. Wiggins. The drawing of a select councilman on the giand Jury and an accused common councilman and a prosecuted hotelkeeper on one of tho petit Juries Is Interesting, anent the fact that the bribery charges against certain of the city fathers and the Illegal liquor selling cases are to come up for consideration at these sessions.

Other places have suffered from a shortage of moisture, Mr. Paine says, but In the region hereabouts, by some special favor of Jupiter Pluius, there has been n good supply ot rain.

JOHN R. DAVIS DEAD. Long Identified with the Coal Inter ests of the Valley. John 15. Davis, the well known coal operator, died at 10 o'clock last night tit his residence nt 537 North Washing ton avenue, after a six months' ill ness general debility being the com plaint. Mr. Davis was TS years of ago and was one of Scranton's best known citizens, having lived here for the past fotty year.

From there he went to Pottlsvllle, where he became a clerk for a coal operator, and there gained his first insight into the coal business. Ho next took charge of the coal depart ment In the Ashland Iron vork3 at Wrlghtsvllle, York county, and later embarked in the retail coal trade in Baltimore, Md. In 1S51 he went to Wllkes-Barre a1) manager of the Dlack Diamond col liery. In November, 1S35, he came to Scranton and built and owned Staf ford Meadow Brook colliery. Since that time ho has boen Identified very prominently with tho local mining In dustry, nnd has been one of the most enterprising coal operators in the re- gion. THE BEARS OF KADIAK. They're jUonsjters, ns Big as an Or; and Very Fierce. From tho Chicago liccord. The biggest bears in tho world are to be found on Kadlak Island, in tho Gulf of Alaska, south of tho great shoulder of territory that stretches out into the Pacific, and Dr. Frank Baker, of the Smltlisonlun Institu tion, has sent Elwood Hofer, a well known guide and hunter of the Yel lowstone park, to catch one or mora of those great monsters for the Na tional Zoological park. Tho Kadlak bears are of the polar breed, perfectly white, with long, heavy fur, and at full growth are twice as large ns tho ordinary black bear of the Rocky mountains, weighing from 2,400 to 3,000 pounds and standing ns high as an ordinary cow the biggest carnivorous animals living. The tracks they leave In the snow have often measured fif teen inches long and ten Inches wide. They are very savage and fight des perately when attacked. Several havo been killed, and tho t'klns have been brought to this country, but no Kadlak bear was ever captured alive. Dr. Carlton H. Bean, the fish cx pert, who ls in chnrge of tho depart ment of fisheries at the Paris exposi tion, while making an exploration ot the fishing resources of Kadlak Is land last year, saw a good many ot these bears, and describes them In! graphic terms. He says that while climbing a rocky hill one day he saw; a large drove of them near tho coast, running about and playing like so many lambs. There must have been 150 or 200 In the bunch, ho says, and, some of them were enormous. Elwood Hofer takes with him to Ka dlak a trap which ho used with great success in catching wild animals In tho YellOYjitone. The trap itself weighs about three tons nnd ls sent in sections to Kadlak, where Hofer will take it into tho interior, set It up and bait it with honey or a pig, If tho latter can be found. Bears aro uncommonly found of pork, and a pig when Imprisoned In a trap makes a demonstration which attracts the at tention of tho bears at a longer dis tance than the odor of the honey. The bear ls usually a very shrewd animal. but those on the Kadlak are unso phisticated and unfamiliar with tho tricks of the white man, so Hofer thinks they will walk Into his trap without hesitation, nnd when they get In there onco there Is no possible way for them to get out. He expects to catch several of the monsters, but pre fers the young ones, because they are more easily acclimated In a new coun try and can be more readily handled than thoso that are full grpwn. Ha expects to have difficulty In getting the nnlmals away from the island, be cause there are no docks or lauding places, and a steamer Is compelled to anchor out some distance from tho shore, so that the bears will havo to embark In canoes. If the water ls calm he may be able to float them over to the side of tho vessel on a raft and hoist them to the deck with a sling. Hofer Is a man of Ingenuity and great resource, and the Smithsonian people are quite sure that he can get a Ka dlak bear down here if anybody can, 1 - ': . s,jy
