Report That Building Is to Be Erected Through the Beneficence of a Public-Spirited Citizen Is Not the Pact Campaign That Has Been Planned by the Managers with a View to Raising the Neces sary Funds Kind of Buildings That Aro in Hind. An evening paper Inst night stated that the Young Women's Christian as sociation Is nbout to have a new build ing through the beneficence of a pub lic spirited citizen, as a memorial. The article In question was Incorrect and Its appearance has caused the manage ment much annoyance. As was announced In The Tribune last week, the Young Women's Christian association has set In motion plans to secure funds for new tiunrters. Unfor tunately no large gift has as yet been received nor have any of the city's prominent citizens been recently ap proached on the subject. The plans Include n cumpalgn of hard work by the young women themselves. A regiment numbering one hundred has been formed Into companies of two each, with a captain, the purpose being to sell shares In the new building at twenty-live cents each, to salaried women of the city. This campaign will last until May, at which time the com pany obtaining the largest number of shares will be entertained In a special way by the management. During this time a committee on Ways and Meant, whose personnel Is not yet announced, will prepare lists of women having their own Income, who will be called upon until the following October. After that the matter will be placed In the hands of a board of trus tees, who will solicit subscriptions from business men. An option has been secured on the Broadbent lots, at Washington avenue and Mulberry street, where a building will be erected for class work, lunch rooms, etc., and whose rentals will bring some income. At the same time It is Intended to build a boarding home farther up town. In the residence dis trict, where property is cheaper, which will contain at first fifty rooms and will he made as attractive as possible for the young women who have no homes In the city. Commissioner Carroll 13. Wright's latest report says that there are over SS.OuO women in Scran ton, of which number 8.7S2 are self supporting; Only about 1,000 of these are as yet reached by the Young Women's Christian association, and its branches, hack of facilities and room is largely responsible. With a convenient building for regular work and a boarding home where the young women could he safe and comfortable nnd happy, a, far greater number could be brought within the kindly Influence of this good Institution, There will be a determined effort to have such ac commodations. The "captains' of the companies will be etnertained at the Young Women's Christian association on Monday night when more active efforts will he organ ized. CURIOUS HALLUCINATION. Insane Man Tells How He Whipped Tom Sayers. An aged man from Spring Brook, who said his name was General Edward Ed wards and who proved to be harmlessly Insane, wandered Into police headquar ters yesterday afternoon and rather startled the ollicer In charge at first by launching Into an extended description of a prizis light in which he whipped Tom Bayers, the great English pugilist. The old gentleman then told o an other fight he had with an Irishman In South Africa in 1S31, and described in a graphic manner how ho was defeated nfter twenty-four hard-fought rounds. He wore a big green scarf about his neck, out of honor to the Irishman who knocked him out, so he said. Some more of the peculiar hallucina tions to which he gave voice were an account of the reception of General Robert Lee and himself by President Cleveland, and a description of General Lee's remarkable ability as a heads man. The old man was llnally led out and started on his way home. WON'T PAY ASSESSMENT. Meridian Street Property Owners Serve Notice on City. Attorneys Ira II. Burns and Charles Olver, representing Mrs. Mary C. Ans- ley and Washburn, Williams, and com pany, yesterday formally notified City Solicitor Watson that any attempt on the pnrt of the city to collect any as sessment from these two property own ers for the Meridian street sewer would be contested because the said assess ments are Illegal and void. It Is pointed out that the properties of these two parties are at present ade quately seweied and that the proposed sower Is therefore unnecessary. It Is further pointed out that the assess ments were made according to the foot front rule, the act authorizing, which was repealed by an act passed by the last U'glKlatme. PIRE CAPTAIN SUSPENDED.

At yesterday's meeting of the poor board the report of the home commit tee nncnt the selection of a location for the almshous, which It Is proposed to build at the Hillside home, provoked much opposition from Mr. Shotton. The committee met at the home on November 11 and after going carefully over the ground decided to locate the new almshouse on a knoll about 1,000 feet to the south ot the present build ing. Mr. Shotton objected to this site and said that the building for econom ical reasons and for general appear ances should be erected to the north of the present buildings. Dr. Paine, for the committee, said that the site selected Is the finest In the county, and that the view afforded in all directions is magnificent. Exper ience has proven, he said, that Insane patients Improve better when kept sep arate and apart from paupers. Inas much as the new building will probably In time be used as an Insane asylum, an additional reason for Its location on the site selected Is thus afforded. The revised plans and specifications for the new building are now being prepared by Architect Davis and bids are to be advertised for shortly. Mrs. Amy Llsk applied for a con tinuance of the assistance which has been extended to her for the past three months. Her husband is blind, but she has two sons old enough to work and the board decided to dismiss her ap plication. Mrs. Mary Hindi, of US Hickory street, a widow, was given coal for the winter, the same to be supplied at the discretion of Director Decker. MERIDIAN STREET SEWER. Director Roche Explains Why Con tract Was Signed. Diiector of Public Works John E. Roche said yesterday In explanation of the signing of the contract for the Meridian street sewer that the objection to its construction by certain property owners along the street was not raised until after Donahue & O'Boyle, the cohtractois, had aflixed their signa tures to the contract and had furnished the requisite bond. The matter was referred to the con sideration of City Solicitor Watson, who decided that the best thing for the city to do would be to sign the con tract. If it were not signed by the proper city oflicials, he said, Donahue Si O'Boyle would have a legal claim for damages. "The advice of the city solicitor was taken," said Director Roche, "and the contract was signed. Considering the late hour at which objections to the sewer were raised, I cannot see how we can be blamed for the action taken." Donahue & O'Boyle will begin work at once and expect to complete the job in two months. , PARDON FOR J. D. JONES. He Was Convicted of Embezzling Funds While Tax Collector of Taylor Borough. John 13.

'The members of the teachers' com mittee of the board of control, nt a meeting held last night, discussed nt some length the qualifications for night school teachers. The reports from the various control lers ns to' the schools already opened and the teachers appointed showed that a number of the latter did not possess the necessary qualifications agreed upon by the board a year ago. It was de cided at that time that no woman should bo accepted as a night school teacher who was not a graduate of the training school or of some normal col lege. Where a male principal was re quired it was decided that a graduate of the High school could be employed. Superintendent of Schools Phillips re ported at last night's meeting that sev eral of the teachers appointed do not possess these qualifications. Several of the members of the committee were in clined to the belief that the rule already adopted should not be strictly adhered to and that graduates of St. Thomas' college and of St. Cecelia's academy should bo eligible for appointment. The members who were opposed to any such relaxation of the rules argued that this course would work an Injus tice to those graduates of the training school who have been unable to secure places as regular day school teachers and who should accordingly be given an opportunity to teach In the night schools. The whole matter will be threshed out at Monday night's meeting of the board, when the appointments come up for confirmation. IT'S UP TO H0LT0N. Corporal George Tamm Flatly Con tradicts the Painters' Union Business Agent. Corporal George Tamm, of Company F, Thirteenth regiment, in a statement given to The Tiibune last night flatly contradicts Business Agent Holton, of Painters' union, No. 218, and asserts positively and without equivocation that he was not behind three months in his dues and that he was expelled from tlie union solely because of his connection with the national guard. "In an article In today's Tribune," writes Corporal Tamm, "Business Agent Holton is quoted as saying that I was expelled from Painters' union 21S, for non-payment of dues. 1 can prove by witnesses to whom I showed my due book that I was not three months in arrears, I wish also to state that neither a committee nor the agent of the said union called on me In regard to my dues. "Agent Holton did call on me, but made no reference to dues. He asked me which I intended leaving, the union or the guard. The true reason for my expulsion from Painters' union 218 was for being a member of the Thirteenth leglment. As I was told by friends whom I have among the members of the union."

Interesting Figures for Fiscal Year Ending on June SO Last, Showing the Largo and Substantial Growth of tho BusinessSince Postmaster Ripple Took Charge tho Postal Re ceipts Havo Been Doubled Com parison with Business Dono nt Other Large Offices in the State. The best evidence ot the steady and substantial growth ot Scranton as n business and industrial centre can be gleaned from the reports of the busi ness done by the Scranton postofllcc. Of tho 70,215 postofllccs In the United States, there are but forty-six which do a larger business than the Scranton ofllce, and of the 219 llrst-clnss ofllccs In this country, ours Is forty-seventh. In tho state of Pennsylvania there are 5,039 postofllccs In all, 314 of which aro known as presidential ofllces, and of this number Scranton Is third, with Philadelphia first and Pittsburg second. In point of population Allegheny has 129,806 people, and Scranton has 102,020, according to the census reports of 1900, yet Scrnnton's percentage of postal business is much larger. Tho appended figures show the rela tive amounts reported from nine cities for tho fiscal year ended Juno 30. 1902,1 putting Scranton in the lead, and inci dentally shows the largest volume ot business ever handled In the history of the Scranton postofllce. Here are tho figures from the government reports: Scranton J232.S79 -13 Allegheny 21 3.022 19 Harrisburg 131,310 31 Reading 113.271 flt Erlo 9l,9Ki 78 Lancaster b.1,01S 01 Wllkcs-Barro 80,18.". M Wllllamsport 79,392 21 Kaston 50,900 72 This total of $232,879.43 was the pro ceeds from the sale of stamps, stamped paper, box rents, etc., and Is an in crease over the previous fiscal year of $31,249.95, or a percentage of 15 4-10 more than for the year ending June 30, 1901, which was $201,029.48. Comparing the receipts of ten years ago with those of this year, there is an increase of 202 per cent,, or a total Increase of .$155,S79. Since Colonel Ezra H. Ripple became postmaster on July 1, 1S97, nearly live and a half years, the postal business of the Scranton ofllce has been doubled, and the receipts for the month of Octo ber, 1902, were the largest ever record ed, reaching a total of $23,298.43, which Is an increase of $S13.50 over the next highest month, of April, 1902. Comparing the receipts for tho month of October, 1901, which were $20,817.99, with those of last month, there is an increase of $2,480.44. A part of this business, of course, Is attributable to the branch and sub-stations, and for the year 1901, the volume of business handled in the West Scranton branch amounted to $S,149.3'9, and for the six months of 1902, their figures show re ceipts of over $5,000.
