Last Monday night there was a
large gathering of the Scranton Fire
Company No. | AT Their Hall, for the
purpose of discussing the question of
%disbanding the Company. After a
lengthy debate, a number of the old
and exempt members came forward
and asked that they be put on the ac-
tive list. Among whom was s. II.
Thompson, b +. Pickett, Genrgp
Frenlz, DR.. w. A. Cox, James Smith.
So the idea of dis banding was aban-
doned, and it was determined among
the members of the Company who
are property holdrrs, to keep the
Company for their own protection.
The decision Of the Supreme Court
may prove IL blessing IN disguise and
cause the property holders aud bust
ness men uf the town to take more
interest III the Company, and Thus
bring about an Improvement in The
morale Of The Company.
