SCRANTON IN 1897.
Firrmen's Effort TO Bring the Next
state Meeting Here.


If the ~ state firemen's convention
isn't secured for Scranton. the blame
cannot be traced to the tiremen them
selves. They are making every posi-
bic effort toward organizing a union
to wage the Scranton fight in the ap-
preaching October convention at
JUhnstown.
Following is a copy Of n circular let
ter being sent to companies in this
region which favor Scranton for the
81 conventions; is is headed Scranton,
81:
Dear Sirs: a meeting of the firemen of
Scranton and vicinity, will be- held in the
select council chamber, municipal build
ing, Scranton. on Wednesday, August u,
1896. at s p. m., for the purpose of forming
u union to promote the interests of Scran-
ton at .Iohnstown. i'm October, relative tO
bringing the State Firemen's convention
to our city in 1897. The union will con-
sist of the several heads of the Scranton
fire department and two members from
each company represented. You Will
therefore appoint or elect two practical
men from your company to represent you
at each meeting. AS the time is short and
much remains to be done to bring the mat
ter properly before the delegates TO this
years convention. it Is requested that you
give it your immediate and earnest con-
sidcration.
Wilkes-Barre Is our only competitor ana
il remains TO bee seen if the "Firemen of
Scranton" whose reputation for hospital
ity is established far beyond the confines
of our own state. will allow themselves
to be OuldOne by any city of inferior size.
Hoping you will cooperate with us in
bringing to our city the greatest gather
ing of humanitarians in the state, we re-
main respectfully yours,
James c. Bailey, Mayor.

SINGING In SALOONS.
Two Girls and Two Men Taken TO the
Police Station by PatrOlmen Lowry
and John Thomas.

Complaint was made last night to the
police that two little girls. possessed of
sweet voices. We're going from one sa
loon 10 the other on Lackawanna ave-
nue.. and two men with them were
pOcketing the pennies and nickels col
lected, and We're eXDending the same
for liquor.
Robert II. Deter, acting lieutenant
made an investigation and found the
party coming out of the Hub on Spruce
street. The men and the girls went
down to Franklin avenue, to Lacka-
wanna, and We're lost to sight around
the corner. Patrolman Lowry and John
Thomas searched some Of the saloons
and learned that the quartette had
gone up stairs a few doors above the
Scranton House.
They We're located and brought to
the central police station. one of the
men is named Alfred II. Bastedo and
the girls. Minnie and Effie, are his
children. The other mans name Is
Frank Davenport. who boards on
Franklin avenue, and sells globe clean
ers. He knew Bastedo in Binghamton
and met him yesterday afternoon in
Scranton. Bastedo IL to all appearances
an able bodied man, but he alleges that
he is not able to work. Three months
ago he was in the hotel business and
was worth $1,000. His place was de-
stroyed by fire and he lost every cent
he owned. barely escaping from being
cremated. But his wife was burned 81
that she died d few weeks later.
He did not carry a cent OF insurance
and now feels that he is reduced to
beggary and that the world owes him a
living.
At the police station the children
sided with their father and told Chief
Robling that he does not force them tc
give up the money they make to spend
it for drink. They took a fist full of
coin each from their pocket to sub
stantiate their assertion. Chief Rob-
ling ordered him to stop begging. and he
promised to follow out the command.
