Deputy Attorney General Frederlo W, l'"leltz was tho principal speaker last nlBlit at the banquet given by Uawley .Mabuuh In eonimemoratlon of the sesqul ('ntennlul of WushlngtoVs Initiation, A conference of city officials will ho hold In the near future for the put pose of deciding upon the legislation affect ing tho city's Interests which should hu Introduced nt the coming session of tho legislature and tho passage of which should he urged by the whole force of the city administration. While It Is generally admitted that the "ripper" bill, undor which this city Is nojv operating, Is essentially a su perior charter there is no one who de clares It to bo absolutely perfect. There are a number of things which the present city olllcjals, who have given the matter study, believe should he changed, and It Is more than likely that when these defects are agreed upon that City Solicitor Watson will be assigned to the task of drafting an amending act. Mr. Watson, while stundlng by tho "ripper" ns ti whole ami admitting Its essential superiority to tho charters under which most cities of between 100,000 and SOO.OOO are operating, has frequently stuted that there arc many contradictions and omissions which should be cleared up. He has given the bill perhaps more study than any other person In the city, but he does not care to give out any of the de tailed tesults of his Investigations just at present for fear some person might seek to take advantage of them. It Is expected that Pittsburg and Al legheny will have some things to offer In tho way of amendments to the char ter, and It Is argued that this city should bo right In at the beginning If It hopes to have any say In tho mat ter. An Important bill to be Introduced will be an act validating all paving assessments made In this city In the past. Tho passage of this Is designed to have the effect of preventing any property owner from slipping out of the payment of his pave assesment under Judge Carpenter's decision in the Sturges casr-, in which It was held that the property owner could not be held to the payment of the cost of keeping a pave in repair as well as the original cost of laying it, Several paving contracts with a re pair clause have been let In recent years, tho most notable one being the Providence road and North Main ave nue pave. Several property owners along these thoroughfares have al ready refused to pay their assessments, claiming that they aro released from payment by Judge Carpenter's ruling. That Bond Ordinance. It is extremely improbable that any very gieat progress will be made on the passage of the bond ordinance pro viding for the Issue of $283,000 worth of improvement bonds within the next few months. The measure is in the hands of the flnnnce committee of the common council, the members of which cannot agree on a report, and there are so many amendments pre pared by counetlmen that it looks as If It will have a very rough road to travel If It ever is reported. Tho ordinance In Its present form represents the best thought of Recor der Connell, the members of his cab inet nnd the leading members of coun cil from all parts of tho city. The ob ject. In mind in drafting it was to serve the Interests of every section of the city nnd any very radical amend ments will not have the approval of the recorder. Donor of Swimming Pool. It has been learned that the gentle man who has offered to donate a ?20,- 000 swimming pool to be placed In Nay Aug park Is Joseph Jermyn, who will probably decide to have It erected as a memorial to his Into father, John Jermyn.

AN EMINENT SURGEON PAYS SCRANTON A VISIT Dr. Jnmes Prlco Conducted Clinic nnd Spoko Before the Medical Society Last Night. Dr. James Price, ot Philadelphia, one of the most renowned surgeons in this country nnd a specialist on female dis eases, conducted a clinic at the Lacka wanna hospital yestorduy morning for the benefit of the house stnff nnd sev eral of the mcnlbers ot the visiting staff. He performed three operations nccompnnled them with a running fire of suggestion and comment. Last night Dr. Price addressed one of the largest meetings of the Lacka wanna Medical society ever conducted. Tho meeting was held In the common council chamber In the Municipal building which was literally packed with physicians. There were about seventy-flvo In attendance, many of them coming from Wllkes-Barrc, Pitts ton and Carbondale. Dr. Price spoko on "Plastic Surgery" and tho main body of his talk was technical but he made some side re marks that were highly interesting. He declared that if ho could have his way he would quadruple the resident staff of every public hospital In this country and would insist that the mem bers of the visiting staff conduct dally clinics for the benefit of the young physicians. The lack of a stiflkicnt amount of clinical Instruction is one ot the morst crying evils in tho modern system of medicine, he declared. Hospltnl direc tors are often entirely too touchy on this subject, he said. They give their passive consent to giving the poor man ?10 on election day to vote for their party's candidate but If any one sug gests that the poor man let a physician and a few students examine his chest they throw a few spasms, figuratively ppeaklng. The doctor's remarks weie loudly applauded and at the conclusion of the meting he was presented to each of tho physicians present. MR. SILLIMAN'S ANSWER. Grants One and Refuses Two of tho Union's Demands. An answer to the demands of tho street car men's union was given yes terday by General Manager Sllllmnn. They asked that the Drown system of disciplining bo done away with; that Messrs. Chase and Early, two dis charged union men, bo reinstated and that tho four non-union men who got leaves of absence to do duty as coal and Iron police during tho minors! strike, bo refused their regular runs ana placed on the extra list. General Manager SHIlman refused to grant tho demand regarding tho dis ciplining system or to reinstate Chase. Early's case was being Investigated and would bo dealt with as tho facts warranted. Tho 'demand that the men who gave up their places to become coal nnd Iron police be placed on tho extra list was granted, the company having agreed at the settlement of thn last strike that any man who gave up his regular run for a certain length of time would have to go on the extra list. The street car men's union will con sider tho answer nt a regular meeting to be held Thursday night. " ' m . .

The Nanticoke Basket Bull team met an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the North End Stars in tho North Scranton Auditorium last night. The large crowd which had gathered in anticipation of nn exciting and closely-contested game', was disap pointed because the visitors jdayed so poorly that they were never in it for a minute. The Stars defeated them by a score of -14 to 2, and didn't seem to bo hnlf trying to do anything. The Stars secured thirty points In the first half, and In tho second, pur posely gave the Nanticoke players many opportunities to score, but the latter tailed to avail themselves ot them.

A bear roast, a most toothsome deli cacy, will bo served for dinner at Louis Lohmann's, Spruce street, to Now York city's general appearance Is vastly different from what It was during .the strike, owing to the sub stitution nt hard coal for soft coal, but there Is still many a chimney send ing forth clouds of black smoke and this condition promises to continue until the last hour of November 1C, when the suspended ordinance ngalnst tho use of soft coal will once more go into effect. The big companies nre sending nn- thaclto to New York as fust as pos elblo to guard ngalnst suffering that would come of extreme cold weather prevailing after this law goes Into ef fect. President Truesdale of tho Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western com pany says his road alone Is delivering C.OOO tons a day to Now York dealers. The fact that the consumers bins are empty and that the retail dealers have only such coal as they can get in small allotments day by day makes the de mand exceptionally heavy. Every body wants coal and that right away. So great Is the demand that anthracite is still selling for ns much as $3.50 in advance of the list price of $6.50. Of ficials 'of the companies' coal depart ments in New York declare that It will bo thirty days before conditions again become normal. Not Selling by Pall. Dealers who had been selling coal by the pail nt stores or from wagons are not yet back in this business, and In the tenement districts where there aro so many persons unable to buy coal by the ton, great suffering will ensue unless the mild weather con tinues for two or three weekB after the law against soft coal goes Into effect ngaln. The continuation of the strike by tho employes of the independent operators in the Lehigh region is doing much to retard the fforts to relieve the acute conditions In New York. Fifteen per cent, of the coal supply of New York, it is estimated came from Independent operators and fully half of this Is cut off by the failure of these lower region mines to open up. Tho mines that have resumed are not getting out their full capacity as yet, and will not reach their capacity for a couple of weeks. These two things coupled with the fact that at this season of tho year the demand for coal Is, even under nor mal conditions, larger than at any other season, make it quite likely that with the companies doing their best to re lieve the situation, tho metropolis will find itself short of fuel when the cold weather comes. Lost a Good Customer. One of the biggest customers an thracite coal has had In New York will soon be one oj; the comparatively small ones. This is the elevated railroad company. When the strike came on the company was beginning to equip Its lines with electric motors. The ex perimental stage had been passed and the company was Intending to gradual ly substitute electricity for steam on all Its trains. When the strike came, the work of supplying motors to cars wns rushed with all possible haste, and now on the Fifth, Sixth and Ninth avenue lines at least every third train Is propelled by electricity. The loss of this trade to the anthracite market was sure to come but Its coming was greatly accelerated by the strike. l' will also deliver n course of lectures on "Logic," nnd will ppenk on tho third Tuesday of each month. Tho fourth Tuesday will be devoted to n social session In connection with tho presentation of papers criticizing or commenting upon articles In tho cur rent magazines.
