APPLICATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE
A Largo Number of Them Heard by
the Poor Board.
Only four members of tho poor
board attended tho regular meeting
yesterday afternoon, Messrs. Brooks
and Shotton being absent. Tho usual
number of npllcatlons for relief wcro
heattl. Mrs. Sarah lllloy, who has
boon a charge on the Moscow tllstrlcl
for some time, but has been receiving
relief through the Scranton board, ap
plied for additional relief. Tho secre
tary was Instructed to notify the
Moscow district that they will have
to care for her.
The apllcatlon of Mrs. Bridget Pat
ios, of Onk street, Dunmore, was re
ferred to Director Jturho with power
to act. The enso of Mrs. Maggie Jen
kins, of George street, who has four
children and ti sink husband to care
for, was referred to Director Williams,
who wilt grant relief. Hugh McShanc,
a young man who was formerly nn In
mate of tho Hillside- Homo, was read
mitted.
Michael Flnnerty, ot Railroad ave
nue, who appeared before the board
at the Inst meeting and naked the
board's attorney to nld him In collect
Inge a large sum of money, which ho
alleges Is due him, appeared again
yesterday with his sister. Tliey now
seek admission to the home, and their
request wn.s granted.
Mrs. Catherine Moran, of 1022 South
Wyoming avenue, a widow with four
children, whom the board Is evidently
acquainted with, wanted assistance In
purchasing Christmas presents, but
the directors could not see their way
clear to grant her request, and the
application was dl.-mlsscd.
Dr. 1'alne reported for lln Home
committee that tho new stoic building
is rapidly Hearing completion, and
that It will be a substantial structuro
In every detail. The board desired to
visit tho home next Thursday and
make an Inventory. Tho quarterly re
port, which Is seal to tho plate au
thorities, was signed by tho directors.
An application was received from the
principal of an institution for the
blind In Philadelphia, requesting
transportation for three Inmate to
come 'to Scranton for the Christmas
holidays. The board could not see
their way clear to grant the request,
and the secretary was Instructed to so
notify the .superintendent.
After a number of bills were ordered
paid and orders drawn for the sev
eral amounts the board adjourned.
WOES OF SANTA CLATJS.
Unfeeling Officials Arrested Him at
Delaware and Hudson Station.
There was commotion galore at the
Delaware and Hudson station Thurs
day afternoon, all owing to the arrival
of Santa Glaus on the 4.1S train. This
statement may seem a trifle peculiar,
but It Is nevertheless made In all ver
acity. The Santa Claus In question, whom
an entertprlsing Wyoming avenue
merchant had advertised would ar
rive on the 4.18, was greeted by an
enormous throng of men, women and
children, tho two latter predominating.
The Instant ho got off the train, how
ever, several Delaware und Hudson
station officials seized him and, aided
by a number of patrolmen, hustled
him upstairs and then forced him to
part with his long, .snowy whiskers and
change his apparel for morn every
day raiment.
This was done as the Delaware and
Hudson authorities claimed that St.
Nick's arrival caused a small panic,
several women fainting and children
being trampled upon In the rush.
The patron saint of Christinas
boarded the train at one of the way
stations. When ho entered his ear,
there was nothing extraordinary about
him to attract attention, but when
the train arrived at tho station and he
had finished dressing, the metamor
phosis was wonderful.
A VALIDATING BILL.
Representative Reynolds to Intro
duce One in the Legislature.
Announcement was made In the col
umns of The Tribune some two weeks
ago that a plan had been suggested to
validate the sewer bond Issue of SIM.
000, the legality of which is questioned
by R. L. Day & Co., the successful
members, by introducing a bill in the
state legislature validating all munici
pal bond issues in the state since 1S97.
In which year a similar bill was passed.
Such a bill has now been prepared
and will be introduced at the opening
or the legislature by Representative
Thomas J. Reynolds, of the First dis
trict. Mr. Reynolds believes that he
can secure Its passage by the first of
February, on account of tho large num
ber of cities In addition to Scranton de
sirous of having recent bond Issues
validated.
Among these are Carbondale, Read
ing and Wllllnmsport, In all of which
Places technical objections have been
raised against bond Issues wlthlu the
past three years. Tho passage of such
a bill would compel R. I,. Day & Co.
to take tho bonds or forfeit their check
for ?3,000.
NO MORE ARRESTS JUST NOW.
E. B. Sturges Says No Bribery Prose
cution Till After Christmas.
E. B. Sturges, of the Municipal
League, stated yesterday to a Tribune
man that there would bo no more coun
mean that more arrests are bound to
mas season. While his remarks were
In tho negative, they may bo taken to
mean that moro arrests are bound to
follow.
Ho said that the league did not de
sire to cause any sorrow in tho families
of the allged boodlers during tho bright
and joyous holiday time.

by a hearty round of applause. Toast

sented by President Richmond. Ho
made a few witty references to Mr.

to have responded to tho toast "Ply

compelled him at tho eleventh hour to
send his cgrnts.
Colonel Van Wormor had for his

In nn eloquent and scholarly way, and
piovcd himself one of litis best ot tho
many excellent Bpeakors which the
Now England society has been always
ro fortunato to secutv for Ha ttnmml
dinners?.
Tho progress ot America and the
part Now England Influence has played
hi It was tho burden of his remarks.
The Pllgilm, he said, had his faults.
He wan only human. Bill he hud
great virtues. Fixedness of purpose, a
lofty Ideal and a determination to ac
complish It wore among his chtef
characteristics. Ho had his own way,
to be sure, In going about the accom
plishing ot his purpose the subjuga
tion of the Indians for Instance but
he got there.
THE UNITED STATES.
The next speaker was John Ulrltln
blne, of Philadelphia, president ot the
Franklin Institute. Ho was assigned
to tho toast, "The United States," and
In beginning his remarks he said It was
a subject broad enough and long en
ough to consume "the entire evening.
Ho devoted himself almost excluslve
to a citation ot the wondeful Indus
trial development of this country with
in the past 100 years and to a general
outline of the great natural advant
ages possessed by America. I
In Introductlng Rt. Rev. Bishop M.
J. Hoban, of this city, Toastmaster
Greene said he was glad to welcome
to a Now England society dinner, a
prelate ot the Catholic church.
Bishop Hoban was clown on the
toast list to respond to t(he toast,
"Fi lends of New England," but he ex
plained that as he had not had tlmo
to prepare ' anything he would take
Chairman Wilcox, of the speaker's
committee, at his word and speak
around the subject.
After telling two very good stories,
ho referred to what hu termed "the
latent distrust" against Catholics
which he had noted in his travels, and
said that never had he been able to
understand why one person should
hate another on account of his re
ligion. He hlmpclf had tho greatest
respect for the consistent Mohamme
dan and the devoted follower of Con
fucius. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Referring to the president's state
ment that the New England fathers
brought the free public school system
to this country, lie said, "God bless
the Pilgrim Fathers for having done
so, I say, for in a republic it is live
duty of every citizen to see that his
children are educated," He staled that
the Pilgrim Fathers got their idea ot
public schools from the Catholic duchy
of Luxebttrg in Holland, where he re
marked, "a system of public; schools
was established in the Sevcnteeth
century by the pope and the Jesuits."
He said that in the schools of early
New England, the children were not
only taught to read and write, but
weio taught tho elements of innr.-il
and religion. He thought that the'
Catholic parochial schools were there
fore the logical sucessors of these
early New England schools, because in
them the religious education Is given
in addition to the secular.
"I think that the Pilgrim Fathers
are to be commended," said lie in c-on-cluslon.
"for their doctrine of no
classes and no masses. The early set
tlers in Virginia and Maryland may
have been more liberal in matters of
religion, but they were Illiberal in
that the rich were allied against tile
poor, a distinction which did' not exist
in New England. May God prosper
this glorious doctrine and may the day
never come when we shall sfe the
classes and masses arrayed one
against the other, in this fair land,"

ANOTHER OP THE INDEPEND
ENTS' PROJECTS ABANDONED.
Directors of. Now York, Wyoming
and Western, at a Meeting Yester
day, Decided to Sell Their 7,000
Tons of Steel Bails and Let tho
Road Go by the Board Securing of
the Sixty-flve per Cent Bate Was
All That the Road Was Intended
to Accomplish.
f
Tho beginning of the end 6f the
Now York, Wyoming, and Western
Railroad company occurred yesterday
afternoon In the office of E. B. Stur
ges, Its president, when a meeting of
the directors was hold for the purpose
of considering an offer for the 7,000
tons of steel rails which were pur
chased some two years ago.
The company was organized In 1S9S
ostensibly for the purpose or con
structing and operating a coal road
between this city and Perth (Amboy.
At that tlmo the seven-year contracts
entered into between tho Independent
operators and tho coal carrying com
panies on a CO per cent, basis had ex
pired. The Independents wanted (new
contracts at 05 per cent., while the
carrying companies gave out the ultt
mutum that new contracts would hnvo
to be E3 per cent.
It was said when the New York,
Wyoming and Western company wi
organized that It was organized to
force the coal carrying companies to
give In to tho demands of the Inde
pendents. When there was talk about
two years ago that the company would
soon give up the ghost, the director
got together and purchased 7,000 tons
of steel rails.
These rails were distributed along
the proposed route of the now road
and have ber. lying twlxt earth and
sky over since. They were purchased
when rails were selling at $1S per ton,
and the company not long ago re
fused on offer of $33. Rails are now
selling at about !30, but just whom
tho offer considered yesterday came
from could not be learned.
Present, at the meeting were the fol
lowing directors: E. B. Sturges, John
Jerntyn. Joseph Jormyn, Thomas E.
Jones, At. L. Kemmorer, John L. Kem
merer. 10. L. Fuler, R. G. Brooks, .T.
N. Rice, L. A. Wutre.s and W. G.
Payne, of Kingston.
President E. B. Sturges, after the
meeting, admitted to a Tribune man
that the road would not be built.
"The New York, Wyoming and
AVestern railroad." said be, "was not
started as a club or as a lever to force
the coal carrying companies to grant
the demands of the Independents. It
was planned to secure an Independent
route for the individual operators!
when they were fighting for a C." per
cent. rate.
"By forcing the coal carrying com
panies to grant a ti." per cent, rate
tlie very' thing lias been accomplish
ed which the New York. Wyoming
and Western Railroad company In
tended to do."
"It was not the Pennsylvania Coal
company nor the Delaware Valley and
Kingston Railroad company that
brought about the capitulation of the
carrying companies. It was the New
York, Wyoming and Western Rnll
road company, and none oilier that
did it."
