GIANT AMPHIBIA OF THE NILE.
The Only Pair of FULL Grown Hippo
pCtImusess in Captivity.

Have you seen the joint male and
equal big female Hippopotamuses
which will monstrously materialize
here on Saturday next with the great
united Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers shows? If you have not, you
ought to, for as a rare and tremendous
geological feature they have no rivals
in captivity, in this or any other
country.
Eighteen years ago, when what Ar
temus Ward would have called ''amoos-
in little cusses," they were purchased
by the Messrs. Sells, and have been a
growing wonder ever since, until they
have reached such huge proportions
that it is well-nigh impossible TO move
them at all. They lave also upset all
accepted theories regarding the acch-
matization of tropical animals in the
temperate zone, by learning to abide
in waters whose frigid temperature
would make an Esquimau call for an
oil stove.
These blood-sweating Nile notables
are exhibited both in a big tank and
loose upon the hippodrome track. and
associated with the two biggest and
finest menageries, ctrcuses, and hippo
dIOmes

MEETING OF POOR BOARD.
Considerable Business of Routine
Nature Transacted.

AT a meeting of the poor board yes
terday afternoon it was announced that
the tax duplicates for the year 1897
have been completed as follows: Scran-
ton, $72,351.23; Dunmore, $6,052.S5; to-
tai, $7S,4O4.OS. Bonds from Collector
Wade NJ. Finn will now be deposited
and the collection begun.
Director Brooks, of the home COM
mittee, reported the visit of the COM
mittee with Director Terppe and Presi-
dent Langstaff to the home and he
asked the endorsement of the board in
the purchase of an air compressor for
the home. This was given.
The usual lot of applications were
received. One showed an especially
sad condition. John X. Williams, of
POLL Wavne avenue, man of middle
age and showing the marks of much
trouble, asked that the board send some
one to take care OF his wife who is suf-
fering from a disease which physicians
pronounce as incurable. Williams
said that of his three children not one
is old enough to care for the mother
while he is away from the home.
well, Mr.. Williams, don't you think
she had better be sent to the Hillside
home or to the hospital?" asked Di-
rector Brooks.
mo, sir; she would break her heart,
sir; she would die before she reached
there" replied Williams.
The case was referred to Director
Shotten with power to act at his dis
cretion.

THE DUNMORE CONTEST.
Fine Showing Made by Republicans at
Yesterdays Hearing Before the
Commissioners.

A fine showing was made by the Re-
publican voters of Dunmore yesterday
in the hearing before the commission
ers who are taking the evidence rela-
tive to the contest. Thirty-nine were
examined and only one William Fells,
of the Second district of the First ward,
was found to have voted illegally. He
only has first papers.
1t is believed that Fells voted the
Democratic ticket, at all events his
vote was first challenged by the Re-
publicans. Morgan Jones, who came
to this country when he was only four
years of age was not able TO produce
naturalization papers but after the
commission adjourned for the day he
came around with the information that
his father was naturalized before he
attained his majority. That makes Mr..
Jones vote all right.
George Weber, of the First district of
the Second ward, only produced his
first naturalization papers. He said
he procured his second ones in Homes
dale. If he can verify that statement
his vote is all right, If not it is lost.
Joseph Bailey had tax receipts but they
gave his residence as the Third ward
instead of the Second ward. II is in all
likelihood a clerical error that can be
remedied.
Joseph Dodge of the First ward, has
had his name Americanized. In Italy
he was known as Guiseppi Tucci and
his naturalization papers bore that
name. He says that an election officer
changed them to read Joseph Dodge to
make them correspond to his tax re-
ceipts. If this is shown to be correct
Josepb's vote will count.
The others examined yesterday were:
Albert f. Swingle, First ward, Second
district; John Allen, First ward, Sec
ond district; Percy Carr, First ward,

NO RECEIVER OF TAXES.
hIr. TOrrey, However, Hopes to Have
His Bill Rcconsidered.

An effort will be made to have the
house of representatives reconsider its
action of Thursday in defeating the
Torrey tax receiver bill. City SOlici-
tor Torrey. it's framer, when seen by
Tribune reporter yesterday said he
hoped with the assistance of the solicit
tors of the other third class cities, who
are unanimously in favor of the bill,
to secure a reconsideration and an op-
portunity of speaking on the bill be-
fore the legislature.
Mr.. Torrey ascribes the defeat of the
measure to the fact that it destroys
a lot of patronage which the county
commissioners and school boards dis
tribute. Easton, Bradford and Read
ing led in the opposition.
The bill contemplated the doing
away with the multitude of collectors
with whom a taxpayer now has to do
business, and make it possible for
person to pay all his taxes, state, coun-
ty. city, special, poor and school to one
official, who Is to be styled a receiver
of taxes. 1t would apply of course,
only to cities of the third class.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-05-22

Scranton will soon have another in
dustry that will employ 300 hands,
mostly males. 1t will be a silk ribbon
mandatory and will be located on
two acres of land in the Twentieth
ward, donated by Hon. William Connell
for that purpose.
The factory will be erected by Levy
Brothers, of New York, who are large
manufacturers of silk ribbon. They
have a factory in New York city and
another in Paterson, N. j., which en-
ploy 1000 hands. Some time ago they
decided to find another location for
their New York factory, and one of
this five Levy brothers paid visit to
this state for the purpose of finding a
suitable location. He was greatly
pleased with Scranton, and the sites
shown to him by Secretary Atherton,
of the Board of Trade.
One site, near the Simpson mill. in
the Twentieth ward, Mr.. Levy said,
was especially suitable for the pur-
poses for which they desired to use IT..
Yesterday two more of the brothers
came to this city and met Captain w.
A. May, president of the Board of
Trade, Luther Keller, chairman of the
manufacturers committee of the board,
and Secretary d. b. Atherton. at the
Board of Trade rooms. The advisable
ity of locating the New York factory
here was discussed, and then the vis-
itors were driven to the site in the
Twentieth ward by Secretary Atherton.
The brothers approved of the loca-
ton, and as Congressman Connell has
agreed to give the land, it only re-
mains to transfer the deed. After
viewing the site the party had lunch
at the Scranton club, and in the af-
ternoon the Messrs. Levy returned to
New York city. They are very favor
ably impressed with Scranton and say
that if the city proves as satisfactory
as they expect it will, they will also
move their Paterson factory to this
city.
They will start their factory here
with 300 hands. The looms used in the
manufacture of ribbon are very high
and it is necessary to employ men tc
operate a large number of them.
This new industry has been brought
to the city by the liberality of Mr.
Connell in donating the site and by
the enterprise of the Board of Trade
officials in seizing an opportunity tc
secure another desirable industry fol
Scranton.
