Favorable Remarks Made at Meeting
Of County Board of Erin.
DELEGATE BOLAND'S REMARKS
Said II WIN Only BE Short Time Until
the Two Boards of llibcrnians Arc
United In Action as Well
as In Purpose.

Every division OF the fourteen COM
prlsng the Board of Erin OF the An
Client Order of Hibernians OF Lacka-
wanna county was represented at the
| county board meeting of the order In
Father Mathew hall. at Archibald, ycs-
terday afternoon, Five delegates from
each division We're present. besides the
officers of the county board.
County Delegate G. n. Boland called
the delegates to order and presided at
the deliberations. l.. II. Mcdonnell, OF
Jermyn, was secretary. National treas
urer of the order, Daniel b. Battle, was
In attendance at the session and greet
ed the delegates with a felictous
speech. AT all conventions of this kind
certain amount of routine business
is transacted and after that was
through with yesterday the announce
ment was made that the next state con-
vention of the order will be held at
Wilkes-Barre. on or about May 2S.
Under the rules of the order the three
county officers. County Delegate c. T.
Boland. Secretary Il. f. Mcdonnell and
Treasurer James McGreevy. OF Simp-
son, Will represent the board at the
state convention. Each division Is en-
titled to send its president as u dele
gate but in case of his disability no
alternate Is allowed.
Question OF Consolidation.
The election of u delegate to the
national convention, which will be held
at Tammany hall, New York, during
the week beginning Tuesday, May IL.
did not occur at yesterdays meeting,
but Will take place at the next conven-
tion. Besides the routine business of
the order, which concerns only mem
bers and has mo outside interest, there
Is growing sentiment among the lead
ers of both factions of the order to de-
wise the most feasible way of bridging
over the dissension now existing, and
unite them in one common brotherhood.
County Delegate c. II. Boland, of the
Board of Erin, was interviewed by u
Tribune reporter and he asserted that
the sacrifice he would make In bringing
the two bodies together would be to
step down and out from the honorable
position he now holds. 1t cannot be
said, he stated. that for his part the
greed for official power would stand in
the way of u consolidation. He de-
clared that he could say the same for
the other gentlemen of the county
board and he prophesied that the time
would be short until the two boards of
the Ancient Order, in this county and
throughout the country, will be united
under one head, as they have always
been united in purpose.
Returned Sincere Thanks.

Aftoh many months. the vast mass of

estate of James G. Fair has beer sold.
The noun vas about $50 900 tons,

pii@cr X CO., and Ciryin, Baldwin X
Eyre. These merchants sent twenty
six ships to San Francisco to transport
a portion of this wheat, and had also
under charter nearly all the grain-shils
due to arrive there for sixty days.
They are said to have PAID from 50 10
sd. cruts per GENITAL. while Fair paid
for the wheat all the way from 81 to
S1.2I cents. 1t is extraordinary that Il
man of Fairs shrewdneSs should have
thus burned his fingers in wheat after
he had seen how nearly ii had dragged

Mackay. But there seems to be Il faS
cination about attempting TO corner"

trickled in upon him from every quarter
of the globe. At last his fortune was

ed that the wheat pit into which their
relative was throwing his money was
Il bottomless pit, ana that there was no
use III throwing o good money after

and after he had secured a clean bill
of health from the courts, they made up

mcntS in Florence, most of which are
found in the most unprepossessing por-
tons of the town. They were built as
fOrtreSScS with embattled front and
sides, occasionally with towers, and the
material used was Oblong blocks of
freestone. The middle was used for a
courtyard. To-day most of them are
occupied by poor people who find shell
ter in the gloomy walls and who care
nothing for the grandeur that once
made them the rallying point of the
nobility and the distinguished of the
dead centuries.
There are six bridges spanning the
Arno at Florence. the principal and
oldest being that of Necchio. 1t unites
the town at its busiest point and has
been standing for five centuries. On
the sides of the roadway are jcwelry
shops and places where knick-knacks
can be purchased. The quaint and
ancient articles offered for sale as well
as the historic interest attaching to the
structure mako il IL resort for tourists.
The ArnO is naViwaDle only for light

is dry. The prolonged hot weather
dries it up and for miles its bottom of
pebbles can be followed without dis
covering Il trace of water.
Florence has an air of Solidity that
marks Il northern city with all tile beau

Her streets are level, wide, clean and
run at right angles. The business
blocks are chiefly of stone and are put

French, and upon the seat or empire
being transferred from Turin to Flor
ence in 1860 a new impulse was given
in the six years that Victor Emanuel
directed Italian affairs.
During that epoch the Tuscan me-
tropolis was endued with the beiief
that il was to be the permanent capt.
tai of united Italy. The population III.
creased 10000. and the prospects OF
the kingly town were all tina could be
desired. But the withdrawal OF the
French troops from Rome was follow
cd by its occupation by the natlonal
forces. and in ISL the capital was
changed to the city of Caesars. This
was an ugly blow. The change car"
ried with it 10000 people, and reduced
the population of Florence to 1oo.ooo.
To beautify the city Il magnificent
stone roadway was erected TO the
heights of Fiesole, which. with ap-
prOacheS, cost some $~10.OOO,O0O. Other
improvements carried ont swcllcd the

encd with bankruptcy by ShearlnG IL
of imperial honors and to avert such a
catastrophe the Italian Parliament as"
sumed half of the debt created by the
municipality. This implanted hope in
the despairing breast of the Florcntine
and he again took hold to rebuild his
decaying town. That his efforts have
counted in the intervening twenty -four
years is proven by the fact that Flor

Rome. has 100000 inhabitants and is
one of the ~cleancSt and best built of
