DEATH OF JOHN SALTRY.

Edttor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t was with feelings Of deep sor
row and sincere regret that the entire
community of the North End received the
sad tidings of the death of John Saltry,
son of the late John and Sarah Saltry. He
died at his late home, 1i1 West Market
street, on Monday afternoon at 3.i5. H.s
death, though not unexpected, has never
theless cast profound gloom over vast
number of friends and acqua!ntances to
whom he was dearly affiliated. Mr. Saltry
had been sufferer for almost nine
months from the result of kick received
from a mule In the mines, which at the
time seemed not to cause him any alarm,
and to which he paid little or no attention
until 1t finally grew so serious that not
Withstand all that the best medical and
surgical skill and treatment could ac-
complish, combined with the most tender
and loving care that could be bestowed.
he at length succumbed to his final end
on the above date fortified by the rites
of his holy religion to which he was al
ways an ardent adherer and perfectly
recOnciled to obey the Divine summons
and to conform to the will of his heavenly
father.
He was born in the neigflborhood where
he breathed his last about twenty-six
years ago and from his infancy to his
death was a general favorite with all
who knew him for his genial manner, his
amiable and virtuous disposition, his kind
and gentle bearing toward the young, his
sympathetic attention toward the aged
and his courteOusness and generosity to-
ward all caused him to be often quoted as
a model for his companions and guide
for the numerous young men Of his ac-
Qaintance.
He held responsible position in the
Marvine mine Of the Delaware and Hud-
son company up to the time of his ILL
ness. In his many relations with the sew
eral employees he was never known to In.
cur the displeasure of any, but on the
contrary, he at all times gained the good
will Of all as we'll as the entire confidence
Of his superiors.
He is survived by one brother James,
and three sisters. Mrs Patrick Mulla,y.
Mrs. Peter Kelly and Miss Margaret
Saltry. He was first cousin of Police
man John Saltry and of DIR. j. F. Saltry,
and had large number of relatives in
this section all Of whom, as well as his af-
fl!cted brother and sisters. have the wide-
spread sympathy of the community In
this, their sad bereavement. The funeral
will take place tomorrow CThursday)
morning at o'clock. A high mass of re-
QUEEN will be celebrated for the repose of
his soul at Holy Rosary church. after
which interment will be made in Dunmore
Catholic cemetery. Yours truly,
John ]. Costello.

Barrett Building vics with tho Biz

While working on the Barrett build

Anthony Huber and John Mungo. were
percipitated to the ground by the COL
lapse of a scaffold on which they were
standing.
Luckily the scaffold fell In such a
manner that the men were not severely
i0jured. A part of the wall, contain
ing about 300 pounds of brick, was
lossened by the careless action Of an
italian laborer. 1t fell against the
scaffold, breaking 1t in the center and
causing 1t to form v. The men slid
along the boards into the apex, and
thus escaped injury. They all returned
to work as soon as the scaffold was re-
paired.

CITY OFFICIALS NEW idea.
Recommends That Conflicting Or
dinaaces Be Repealed or Revised.
COMMISSION IS SUGGESTED
Contradictory Measures Said TO Hamper
Officials-Three Lawyers. Three Bust.
ness Men and the Mayor Sus'
sested to Recommend Changes.

The head of one of the most impor-
tant city departments suggests a novel.
but what seems a practical. way Of
eliminating the many conflicting
clauses in city ordinances which are
constantly causing annoyance not only
to councils and heads of departments.
but to the public as well.
He recommends that a commission Of
three lawyers. three business men and
the mayor be selected by councils to
examine and compare ordinances and
resolutions and make a final report. 1t
Is suggested that the commission
recommend whatever repeals or new
measures seem necessary.
Councils Too UnwicIdy.
"Of course" said the official. lit Is
really the councils business to do all
this. but there are too many axes to
grind to make the thing possible In
that direction: besides. the councils are
too large and unwieldy to perform a
work requiring much detail. If ordin-
ances continue to be passed ordering
officials to do this or not to do that or
to follow such-and-such a SYSTEM
why, how are We ever going to keep
track of things; or, what Is more to the
point. how are we to obey orders? On
this day alone. three matters have de-
veloped In my department which I can
not definitely act upon. owing to con-
ficting measures passed by councils in
each case.
Even the councilmen who make the
city ordinances become mixed in dis
cussing new measures. and II is quite
frequent that the matter Is laid over
until the next meeting to permit re-
search for conflicting ordinances or
resolutions previously passed. And
when the father of measure Is not
positive Of the strict Interpretation Of
his own or some previous measure, he
insists upon the blind passage of his
own ordinance to which Is added the
stereotyped all ordinances or parts Of
ordinances inconsistent herewith or
supplied by the provisions hereof be
and the same are hereby repealed ETC.,
etc.
Would Bc Legal. lie Says.
understand me, my views do not
concern the state laws. the act of 1889,
under which cities of the third class
are governed; that Is a separate mat
ter and purely a state affair. l refer
strictly to the minor measures passed
by councils. 1t cannot be held that
such commission would be inconsist-
ent with the Incorporation act because
that law, after its own provisions are
complied with, Is plain in providing
that cities may govern themselves as
they see fit"
Interviews with other heads Of de-
partments ELECTED opinions similar to
those Of the official quoted in the fore
going. While no definite discussions
have taken place in the matter, the
trend of opinion Is toward some way
out OF the present labyrynthical code
1t will not be surprising if some such
plan. like that of the commission, Is de-
vised or attempted in the near future

BAND STAND STILL COLLApsING.
Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir: Yesterdays Republican had small
article on the Collapse of the Movement"
which refers to the failure Of tine band
stand which a gentleman has seen fit to
make his pet hobby. The article speaks Of
Mr.. Bauer and myself having visited Mr..
AthertOn and told him that II would be an
utter impossibility to have either the band
play from the band stand on the proposed
site. and also impossible to get the sing
ers or the Scranton United Choral so
ciety together for the purpose Of free
concerts. I have never seen Mr.. Atherton
on this matter and never knsw that he had
anything to do with the project other than
the receiving of funds for the erection of
the stand.
believe the people Of Scranton have for
many years past been aware of the fact
that both Mr.. Bauer and myself are public
spirited citizens and have always been
in the front ranks of every movement in
the musical line for the benefit of Scran-
ton, and 1t Is decidedly absurd for this
newcomer to credit us with an interview
with Mr.. Atherton with the result stated
in the article. Collapse of the Move
ment."
There has taen good deal said in con-
nection with the band stand and free open
air concerts, which was merely imaginary
and not facts. l promised the gentleman
my support in the matter and to do all
that l possibly could, and he said that he
had made, or rather that the board of
trade had appointed Tallie Morgan as Sec
retary of the affair. and Mr.. Morgan was
to have called together the musicians OF
the town. We have been awaiting the
call. which never came, and the article of
yesterday blames Mr.. Bauer and myself
for the failure Of a project that We had
nothing at all to do with, either in its
primitive suggestion or culminative fall
ure.
l believe the people of Scranton UNDER
stand our position on any project that has
the welfare of the city at heart ! merely
wish to inform our friends that the asser-
tion in yesterdays Republican is entirely
false, as l never saw Mr.. Atherton or had
any conversation with him whatever in
regard to the open air concerts or the
band stand; consequently could not have
told him that the Scranton United Choral
society would not sing. Respectfully.

In excavating for the new Gould
Carriage works on Linden street near

upon strata of the finest quality Of

been shoveled out to make room for the
foundation walls and the cellar.
A swamp occupied this locality a few
years ago and even now water has been
reached at depth to which the founda-

on bed Of clay and will not affect the
stability Of the new structure.
