The. above, letter vinv leeelved ves

the uddiess, and enclosed In a plain
envelope,
ICveiy elflirl was made by the pio
inoter.s of the meeting In keep it a
seeiel, but before last nlsht hatl falily
set In the tneetliiK' anil Its ''business ot
tittno.st Importance" had leaked out.
The caucus I.s for the ptupo-e of
nomiiuitlufr n mayor ami city solicitor.
In anticipation of Hie Hipper act belnu;
deelared unconstitutional. The elec
tion Is to take place Immediately alter
the caucus.
The Democuits think the Kipper m t
will he declined unconstitutional and
that the decision Is llltely to be handed
down next Holiday. Just what causes
them to father this thouKht. other than
u wish to that effect. Is somethlnsr that
has not been disclosed, but il Is de!'
nltely known thai they are feellnp al
most conlldent the net will be invali
dated and that the Invalidating will
occur within a week.
If the Hipper act Is killed, Seranton,
at once, falls back on the old second
class city laws, such us have for years
Kovernetl and still ate KovenilliKT Vltts
biirjr anil Allegheny.
These laws prescribe that "In case
any olllco of an eleclivv ofllcer siittil be
come vacant before (he expiration of
the icRular term thereof, the vacancy
shall lie filled by the elly councils until
a successor is elected and utmlilled;
itnd such successor shall be elected for
the unexpired let in al the Hist annual
city election which occurs after the
vatancy shall have luippencd."
The Deinooi.it.s contend that the Kip
per Is unconstitutional and that by ac
cepthiR the office of rccoider. and uo
Rleetlnij lo perform the dutks of

all events the Democrats ure proceed
Iiik on that presumption.
Thrlr stu prise-party caucus having
selected cunilltlntes, they can ro Inlo
their lespcetlve meetliiBs, ines.saKe by
committee from some one to the other
that it Joint incetlnir Is desired to 1111

two, prot ceil to do iiietty much as they
pleilie.
All thai Is necessaiy to cany out
their pionrumme, they think, I.s that
they shall have at hand tvventv-two
voles. These they have, with one to
spate, the select council standing ten
Democrats to eleven Kepubllcans, nnd
the common council, thirteen Deino-(i.it-
to eight Republicans.
I.ule last night a. leading member on
the Democratic side In select council
was approached timidly, by a Tribune
if potter, with the queiy: "What will
the Denioeiats do ul the caucus loinor
iovv night V"
The question nearly look him off his
feet. "U'lml do you know about that?"
he evcitodlv Inquired. "Where did you
hear that'.'"
".Tllst mii'ssed it" thelepottel blutld

"Well. If ymi ptlnt anything about

theie is anything said about it, the
whole thing is spoiled. Just keep that

The lenortcr said he would think It

vTAYLOR PRAYED FOR MERCY,
He Wns Moie Successful Tlmn His
White Wife.
A lather peculiar srene was enacted
In Magistrate W, S. Mllliu-'tt nlllcj yes
teulay afternoon, when 1'nyton Taylor,
tall, btavvny nml eolnrcil, with uteel
niniiticlcs on his wrlHtH and a bnlf
Hiunkeil elgniette In his Iniuil, linploreil
the iniigislrate not tu send him lo thu
county .Inli.
"Have tilty on a lm' colored until, at-dei-inan,"
ho pra.VL'd and fell on his
knees heforo the bitter. Ills entieuHos
were so fi anile that Magistrate Millar
dually relented, and dismissed hint.
Tho chaige tinted back to last Kebiil
ary, Taylor still owing u lino then Im
posed for dlfiotderly conduct,
Taylor's white wife, mite Taylor, nnd
Kate Mttlhcrln, two icslilcnts of Dunn's
patch, were also arraigned hefote the
uldermnn ehaigoil with Ulsoitlei-ly con
duct b.v CJeorge.lohnson. As It wns the
thlid or fourth appearance ot tho Mill
hei In womnu on the same charge, no
nlel-ey was shown und she was lined
tin, Iu default of whluli she went to thu
county Jnli for sK months, while Kate
Taylor went up ror tlility dnys in de
fault of a J10 line.
The latter followed the example of
her spouse In creating- a scene ami
with many volcanic accompaniments
declared she would not walk to the
Jail. The patrol wagon was therefore
summoned nnd she was then removed
fiom the olllce.
FULL PAID
DEPARTMENT
Idea of Having Bunk and Call
Men Abandoned by
City Officials.
It luiH now been definitely ugieeil
upon at city hall to provide Scianton
with n full paid lire depaitment.
The scheme projected at tbe close ot
the last fiscal year of appointing twenty-two
new peiuuinent men and pad
ding out the force with bunk and call
men has been deserted: first, because
of the dillleulty experienced In getting
men to accept the bunk and call posi
tions, and secondly, because the think
ing men among the city oflleials have
come to the conclusion that this plan,
ar all events, is- not a desirable one.
They say the full paid department
hns got to come soon, nnd might ns
well come now while tbe leorganlzing
is on.
"Vou can .say for a loitalnty," de
clined Selectman VauRhain yesterday,
"thai Scianton will have a lull paid
department Inside of three months.
The tecorder is agreeable to It. Din-c-tor
Hitchcock won't be satisfied with
anything else, mailmen Chittenden
and f'alpin enthusiastically favor it,
and I have yet to Und any Inlluentlal
councilman who Is opposed to It.
"We now have thirty-six permanent
men. The appiopriatlon oulinanee pto
vides for twenty-two moie. Uliectnr
Hitchcock says he inn manage nicely
with about seventy-five or eighty men,
1 mnlei stand. AV will give him eighty
live or ninety men. Tills calls for an
additional oppiopiiatinn of SIS, 000 or
$l!i.(IOO. The special license ordinanie
now being fiamed. imposing tuxe.s on
i orponuions. will he i ushed through
as soon as the liippcr matter Is settled
filially, and with that oidinance in op
eration there will be money in pientv
to meet the expense, of expanding the
flic-lighting foi (e. if this oidinance
should be delayed, we timid lull back
on the additional revenue Unit is lo
come from liquor licenses not already
included in the contiolhVs estimate,
nnd this, aciuiding- to our liguics, -will
be Millie lent to pay the salaries of the
ueiess.iiy ,.-(ta men for ,lhe second
half of the year, al least. Next year
We could fully pi (Able lot- them."
The fuel that the volunteer com
panies are legislated oul of existence,
nnd that nijnjj of their membeis have
applied for places ns permanent men,
will (end to -win counelhnnnlc favor for
the new projei t.
The onl-f thing standing in the way
of a culmination ot the plan Is tho lack
of leady money, but thai Is not an in
Munnouniuhle dlfllculty, as Mr.Vaughun
explains, so ll Is unite- piobuble. It
would seem, that Scranlon's long-1 her
Mieil (beam of u lull paid (he depiut
nient Is at last to bo realized,
