TJME EXTENDED ON
r CLIFFORD DUPLICATE
fhree Local' Bohdsmen Given Until
, October 1, by Sohool Board, In
1 Which to Make a Settlement The
,"" Debate on the Matter Other School
' Board Business.
;. An extension of sixty days until Oc
tober 1 In tho collection or tho In
volved duplicate of Tax Collector P. It.
Clifford, was granted lust night by the
(!arboii(lale school bonrd, In behulf of
the three local bondsmen of the eol
"leetor, Hon. Janfcn J. O'Neill. Henry
Cook and John Clifford, father of the
collector.
This extension Is n period of grace
allowed tho bondsmen in which to
make what collections they enn In
'order tn recoup themselves, and In
order" that n definite report may be ob
'tiilned which will be n basis of deter
mining how much remains to bo paid
the school district: the time for the
cash settlement to bo likewise fixed at
ttjls time.
, Every member of the board was pres
ent when the mutter came up. Attor
ney H. C. Butler, tho board's solicitor,
'vjflu In attendance to look after the
;bnard's Intel csls. The Fidelity Cnsu
'nlty coiup.iny, the original bondsmen,
was represented by Fred Williams, of
Scranton, Its representative for this
district. Hon. James J. O'Neill and
Common Councilman Henry Cook, two
bf tho three signers of the Indemnify
ing bond, were likewise present.
lion. James J. O'Neill addressed tho
board In behalf of himself and Mr.
Cook and the Fidelity company. He
said that they were now endeavoring
to ascertain what the liability was be
tween them and the bond eointinny.
Tills Is In process now. Clifford's dupli
cate has been assigned to them, and
every effort is being made to collect
the unpaid taxes. Notices have been
sent out and, besides, several of the
city aldermen arc assisting In the col
lecting. Until such time ns a thorough
effort in this direction has been made,
there is no way of ascertaining what
the liability of the bondsmen is lu the
bond company; In other words, the
amount of settlement depends upon the
success of tho collection now under
wny.
What Mr. O'Neill wanted and what
was being asked of the board, ho said,
was nn extension of time tli.it would
give them an opportunity to collect all
the unpaid taxes they could. Sixty
days from August 1 which would be
until October 1 was suggested as n
psrlod of grace, and It were, In which
to do this. At the end of this time, a
report would be submitted, what al
lowable exonerations there wcip would
he deducted, and tho sum in cash due
the district would be ascertained. A
time for a flnul settlement eould then
he determined and a cash settlement
on the part of tho bondsmen could be
fixed uon.
Mr. O'Neill allowed that there had
been a good deal of a delay already in
the settlement of tho duplicate: but
this wns in favor of the, collector. Now,
tho bondsmen felt that thn exercise of
leniency In their bchnlf was timclv.
Nothing was asked of the board that
would refleet on tho school directors,
nor injure the taxpayers, but It was
felt that tho bondsmen ought to be al
lowed a reasonable time to recoun
themselves.
Mr. Williams, of the Fidelity com
pany, followed with the suggestion that
there was no disposition on the part of
his company to do anything but what
was fair. What might bo due, would
be paid, but there was no way of de
termining what was collectible from
tho bondsmen until it could be ascer
tained how much of the duplicate could
be collected. Whatever deficit might
then exist, the bondsmen stood ready
to make good. Tho extension asked for
he did not think unreasonable, only
fair. As .suggested by Mr. O'Neill, it
wa3 not in behalf of tho collector that
this was sought, but tho men who went
on Ills indemnifying bond.
As thn time limit In Collector Clif
ford's bond was fixed at September IS,
the directors were of the opinion that
tho time could be extended beyond that
date. Mr, riutler, tho board's solicitor,
assured them, however, that tills limit
did not affect the bond, that the bond
was collectible at any time. Mr, Will
lams supplemented what Mr. Butler
said, by suggesting that the bond was
good for a lifetime.
Tho dlicetors teemed sutNlicd with
those assurances, but Mr. Evans was
not In favor of waiting, and made n
resolution tlmt only thirty days, until
Krptcmbor 1, bo allowed.
Mr. Hughes frowned on such action,
asking that some consideration be

A grandmother, by studying tho prop

stomach trouble and sevens headaches,
Later on she was able to save her little
Bt-anddaughter because of her knowl

She says: "When baby was live

shown tho bondsmen, .who were seek
ing the extension, not the collector..
Though the other members did not ex
press themselves, there was a marked
disposition to grant the sixty days' ex
tension, ut tho end of which a report
might bo presented. Finally, Mr, Cope
land arose, saying: "I move you, Mr.
Chairman, that we grant the time
asked for sixty days,"
Mr. Vanaan was tho second. The
motion was put, nil of tho members
voting yen, but Mr. Evans: he was
silent.
Tho other Important mnttcr, besides
tho painting Issue, which Is reported In
another item, was the selection of a
collector for this year's duplicate,
which was submitted and accepted. It
amounts lo $33,377.42.
Mr. Copolond expressed himself an
being opposed to the present remuner
ation: ho did not think that collectors
were paid a sufficient percentage In
order to assure u more prompt collec
tion. Mr. Evans fnvorcd Attorney W. E.
Wntt, to whom ho paid quite a compli
ment for his promptness. He nomi
nated Mr. Watt, and fixed his commis
sion nt 4 per cent.
Mr. Hughes objected, not that he was
opposed to Mr. Watt, whom ho fully
credited, but berouse he believed tho
duplicates should be settled within a
year, as wns tho rule up to a few years
ago.
..Mr. Vanaan seconded the nomination
of Mr. Watt, but withdrew the second
ing when Mr. Evans declined to specify
how much Mr. AVutt was supposed to
collect In order to receive this commis
sion. The matter was finally put over
until the next meeting.
LABOR UNIONS PROTEST
Federal Union and Central Labor
TJnion Present Besolutions to
School Board, Condemning Con
tract Given to H. Frank & Son.
A public protest against the award
ing of the contract for painting about
the High school to H. Frank & Son,
non-union painters, was made at last
night's meeting of the school board In
resolutions passed by Federal Labor
union, No. 7201. and endorsed by the
Central Labor union.
The lesolutions, condemning the ac
tion of Directors Evans and Vanaan,
of tho building committee, were handed
In by James Gordon, of the Federal
union, when the board was about to
adjourn. They read as follows:
Whereas. A majority of tho members of
the building committee of the Carliondalo
school board has seen lit to award tho
Lontntct for the painting and decorating
the high school building to a notoriously
unfair llrni. nr.twlthstumlins tho fact
that the salt! members, Vannan and Ev
ans,, wcio fully aware that thlH action
was a dliect challcngo to organized labor
in the city.
Now, therefore, tho largo majority of
union men of Carbond.ilo hereby enter u
vigorous protest ngaiiiht the act of the
hald membeis of tho building committeo
of the Curhondalo school hoaid.
And further that Mibhoriuent action bo
taken aguhi.st tho s.ihl mcmbeia as is
wan anted by the scrlousnct-s of the of
fense. James Ooidnn, Jonas Williams, S. 10.
Spangenbeig, Hobeit Alexander, commit
tee Fednal L'nlon No. 7J0I.
Endorsed by the Cnrbonclalc Contra!
Labor union at a tegular meeting Au
gust 3, IMC.
Mr. Vanaan objected to the reading
of the communication, If It related to
the awarding of the contract. This, he
said, was a matter that belonged to
the committee, and to the committeo
alone, and that parliamentary usages
sanctioned the referring of any commu
nications touching on committee work
to that particular committee.
Chairman Kerwln acknowledged that
the point was well taken, though Sec
rotary Gallagher was In favor of read
ing the resolutions which he held In
his hand. Finally Mr. Hughes moved
that the communication be referred to
the committee. It was then given to
Mr. Vanaan, without the contents be
ing made known.
After the .meeting a committeo from
the Inderal union handed a copy of tho
resolutions to The Tribune.
Earlier in tho school board meeting,
Mr. Hughes, u member of the commit
tee, sought an explanation of tho
awaidlng of tho contract by the com
mittee, of which ho was a member.
Mr. Vannnn raised the point of order
that no explanation was called for. Mr.
Hughes, however, did explain, saying
that the action of tho committee had
been practically agreed upon, but that
he didn't suppose the contract would
be awarded tu Frank & Son. In the
face of the unpopular sentiment ho
would nei cr vote to award the contract
us the committee had given It out.
FARMERS' HEAVY LOSSES.
Echoes of the Disastrous Storm nt
Waymnrt.
The owners of farms and gnrdens In
and about tho village of Wnymitrt are
counting up heavy losses after tho dis
astrous storm of Sunday evening, tho
worst, by far, that any Inhabitant of
tho nlace can recall,
Early yesterday the residents went
out on their lands and were depressed
with the evidences of tho storm's'wr.ith
on every sldo of them. Corn llelds
looked as If a herd of elephants did a
Cakewalk on them, audh tomato plants
were cut down, ns if one of George
Cuff's two-baso liners had scissored Its
way through tho patches. Perhaps tho
fruit trees suffered most. Homo of tho
orchards had the trees stripped of their
fruit, the giound being covered with
unripe apples. A peculiarity in connec
tion with tho blowing down of the fruit
was that the apples wcro heaped on
top of the leaves, tho wind fairly cut
ting the twigs as sharply us with a
knlro.
Tho Patterson farm was visited with
u good deal of damage; a half-dozen
apple trees wero blown down in tho
orchard.
Tho phenomenal force of tho wind
and the extraordinary size of the hall
that fell uro shown about the, barn on
tlje Perkins farm, Hero tho soft wood
of the old structure shows the marks
of the hall dents lu the boards, just like
so many stones hurled by active young
sters. Cattle were terror-stricken on
tho farms, and bellowed a fearful
chorus as they ran wildly about tho
fields. Several horses wero on the Pat
terson farm and failed to get under
cover during the storm. Tho Incon
ceivably terrific wind that carried the
storm down off tho fop of the Mooslcs
fairly rocked the last car of Conductor
Hubbard's Delaware and Hudson pas
senger train while It was held at the
Vaymart station for fourteen minutes',

presence of mind and courageous spirit
of others to becalm their troubled
mind.
Tho actual losses Will not bo known
for a couplo of days, but tho aggregate
will be greater than Wnymart residents
have ever suffered from a storm.
CRYSTAL LAKE BREEZES.
Echoes from Carbondale Campers
Over the Hills.
Last week ut "Idle Hour Glen"
seemed moro lively than the preceding
one; at nil events, the boarders at
Crystal Inn thought so, for no less
thnn six left, complaining that the
"bugler" mndc too much noise.
The light members of the "Glen" are
certainly increasing In weight. At least
It seemed so last week, when one of
the "featherweights" broke a guaran
teed hammock near "Dew Drop Inn."
You needn't look wise, Glorlnnder, for
it's "up to you" to settle,
Did you notice that Glorlaijder looked
all "unstrung" that evening when he
returned to cumo?
Jim, the genial hostler at Crystal Inn,
received the degree of M. D. last week
from tho boys. Ho certainly deserved
It, for tho manner In which he nursed
"Glory's" toe, although Steve placed
his objection before the board. Axle
grease Isn't bad, after all,
"Chest" holds the record as a sleeper.
The day before he left for homo he
held down the springs Just twenty
three hours, In order to have enough
sleep to catch the first enrriago for
Carbondale. Wake up, Chest!
The boys thought they would have
another "early spring" this year, when
they saw Dutch and Chest Jump out of
bed nt 6 o'clock Saturday morning.
What Is the difference between the
"Glen" and tho dairy? About one mile,
Steve: at least by the manner in which
the robbler worked at your shops.
It did the boys good to see Steve got
up fo early (?) In the morning to go
after tho milk. He evidently likes
walking. Is that the reason. Stout?
Jiuunlc still insists on catching mil
lers, although the butler was "rlng"
leader. Why is Jlmmle like a fish story?
Catch on? Good!
Prof. Leo Dunlavey's celebrated Ma
rino band arrived at the "Glen" about
midnight lost Friday, returning from
nn extended concert tour at the differ
ent summer resorts. Tho boys joined
In and proceeded to Mullaney's, where
the band rendered several difficult
pieces. Prof. Dunluvcy taking the solo
part In each, and although his lips wore
soro from continuous playing, he ren
dered his part so well that ho could
have easily taken the laurels from
Sousa's famous bass drum artist.
Dutch, Chest and Stout shone ns
torch bearers. They were the three
bright lights of the evening's enter
tainment. "Seven," although shoeless,
also covered his ground In excellent
manner, Glorlnnder, as a drum major,
has no equal. The guests nt Fern hall
seemed surprised at his skill with the
"billy." Too much praise cannot be
given to Jlmmle for tho manner In
which ho handled tho music.
As tho boys Intend to break camp,
they extend a general invitation to tho
public to come and secure souvenirs,
Take everything but tho cottage.
Thanking all visitors for their kind
ness, also for their sympathy, I shall
allow my name to terminate the camp
notes for 1002.

Fought Mad Dog,
Charles Vogle, of upper Canaan
street, who is employed by Contractor
Hansen on tho new brewery, was at
tacked by a mad dog Saturday after
noon, while returning from his work.
He was taking a short-cut across tho
hill to his home, when the animal,
which was of tho St. Ucrnurd breed,
jumped und caught hold of a pet dog
which was accompunylug him. Ho at
once went to Its rescue, but tho mad
dened nnlm.il was too much for him,
and after It had (lulshed his dog it
turned upon him. After a hard light
he succeeded In knocking it out, John
McCubo arrived on tho scene In tlpio
to finish the bruto with a load of buck
shot. The ground for a rudlus of forty feot
showed signs of the encounter which
took place, and Mr, Voglo's escape was
considered remarkable.
