San Francisco, April 18th.
A further Improvement is noted in
Wheat; an advance at Chicago has sent
local values up Flour export trade is
active; on Saturday the exports amounted
to 10000 barrels, of which $500 go to Siberia.
Barley is stronger; both feed and brewing
have advanced; options are higher but
not very active. Oats and Corn are quiet;
no Corn arrived and but few Oats: prices
are unchanged.
An improved demand for Oranges is no.
ticeable, owing to the warm weather. burt
prices have not improved; four cars in to-
day. The present weather will hurry ber-
ries along; none in to-day but some are ex-
pected tomorrow. There is a better de-
mand for Lines and Lemons. but prices
are unchanged.
Butter is as yet not quotaby lower al

AS TO LOCAL STRONG.BOXES.
ScrantOnians Need Have No Worry on
the Score of Bank Robbers.

The work of tearing down the old
vault of the Scranton Savings bank
was completed Saturday after a weeks
hard labor. 1t took four men four days
to simply remove the concrete cap and
this was only effected by chipping it
away piece by piece with sledges and
cold chisels. The massive granite
stones which formed the vault proper
were removed by working them loose
with wedges and drills and pulling
them from their foundations with a
steam derrick.
The new vault is to be erected in the
opposite rear corner of the building,
1t will be more modern in construc-
| tion than the old one, that is steel will
supplant the stone and concrete in a
great measure, but it will not be any
stronger or more fire-proof for it is
| quite impossible to imagine any way
of improving on the old strong box in
this respect,
The new vault will be used solely for
| books and the like. The money will
| be kept in an eleven-hour Mosler-Cor-
| less safe, which will be located in the
center of the new building on a founda-
tion of brick and concrete, extending
| all the way from the cellar.

week, through their attorneys, Wat
son a. Zimmerman, that Battle, al
though having sufficient money on
hand, refused to pay them their salar-

through Attorney Squier, of Carbon

regularly drawn, inasmuch as the sup
ervisors have no right to draw their
own orders but should wait till the au-
ditors decide how much they had
earned. He also alleged that the sup
ervisors' terms of office began March
I, 1897, and that they worked at private
business until the goth also that the
weather was such during the month
of March that no work could be done
on the roads.

TEST OF NEW TROLLEY DEVICE.
One Made Saturday Was Not Highly
Satisfactory.


The new patent trolley, mention of
which was made in Thursdays Trib-
une, was experimental with Saturday
afternoon on a Scranton Railway COM
pany car.
The new trolley was made by the
Steel Motor company with works at
Johnstown, this state, and the one used
Saturday was the first manufactured.
1t is a curious appearing object when
placed on a car. It's size is three or
four times larger than the simple troll
ley now in use and the very intrcacy
of the thing is an objection. Where in
the old style but one iron pole is used
the new one has two which diverge
from the place where it is attached to
the car until at the wire the poles are
nearly four feet apart. An iron bar
connects the two and on this is a
grooved wheel about foot in diameter
meant to catch the wire and to slide
along the vertical axle according to
| the variations of the wire.
When the trolley flies off the vertical
bar catches the wire, preventing the
trolley from swinging upright. BY the
use of two ropes the small wheel is
| then moved along the axle until it
again catches the wire. The trial yes
terday was witnessed by Frank Fox,
| superintendent of the railway COM
pany and an agent of the Johnstown
| concern. The trial was not entirely
satisfactory. From the street car barn
to Penn avenue the trolley jumped off
three times and the man with the two
ropes was kept busy moving the little
wheel. The effort to get a new kind
of trolley is with the idea of evading
the costly use of the common trolley
pole, which is securely patented by the
| General Electric and Westinghouse
| cOmDanies

ALDERMAN KELLY's TRIALS.

fore Alderman Kelly, of the Eighteenth

squire last evening and held in $500
bail tu appear at court. The bail was
furnished. a peculiar incident which
arose from the elder Miller's arrest was
that of Samuel Miller, jr. Samuel Mil
Ter, jr, was charged by Bubbitch with
the carrying of concealed weapons
Knowing or suspccting that a warrant
was out for his arrest, he MILLER ir.D

appearance in court to answer the
charge of pointing firearms

That Is the End the Lincoln Memorial
Association Has In View.

The Lincoln Memorial association
will have I. Thomas Fortune, editor

is to erect a monument in honor of the
martyred president.
Alamanza Porter,G. w. Brown, Lewis
