NEW HOME FOR CENTURY's.


Aside from the regular routine of
business, the only topic that will be
discussed at tie meeting of the Cen
tury Hose company tonight, will be
the advisability of forming a stock
company to build a modern home for
the company. Chief Hickey, Ambrose
Hertz and II. j. Spruks, members of
the company, are strongly in favor of
the movement and are agitating the
matter, and the prospects are that
the project will assume definite shape
shortly. The present quarters of the
Century's are, to say the least, very
undesirable and unhealthy, and as no
immediate assistance from the city is
in sight, the members feel that the
best plan to pursue is to proceed to
build, and eventually the property will
be purchased by the city.
Chief Hickey stated to The Tribune
reporter last night that $4,000 can
easily be raised by forming 81 stock
company. Mr.. Hertz is in favor of
having large double building erected,
one portion to be used by the fire boys
and the other half utilized for police
station, as now the city pays $25 a
month rent for the quarters of the
fire company and $40 a month for the
station house on Alder street. Mr.
Hertz believes that if a building was
erected in accordance with his idea
the city would accept the proposition
to have the police station in the
building. The sites in view for the
proposed building is a plot on IIick-
ory street adjoining the residence Of
s, S. Spruks, and another at the in
tersection of Pittston avenue and Riv-
er street, on the Orchard" owned by
the Lackawarna Iron and Steel COM
pany.

sATCHEL FogND.-Messrs. F. G. and
VIM. L. Rogers, while at WORK on the
foundation for the new boat house of
the Old Dominion Club Yesterday
evening found a satchel in the north
eastern corner of the dock which, it is
believed, belonged to kaufman, the
mao who was found dead on the tug
boat De Boss Lennox about two weeks
ago. The satchel was apparently new
and had been broken open and thrown
into the dock. The low tide of the
past few days had exposed it lying on
the bottom. When the Messrs. Rogers
had brought it to the wharf and ex-
amioed it there were found number
of things wrapped in copy of Wash
ington paper of March 10, none, how
ever. of any value. Among them were
envelopes from the Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Pensions, Treasury
Department, Auditor Interior Depart
ment, one addressed to the President,
Washington, D. Co." and one to "Mrs.
II. A. Sherman, Park Hotel, Williams
port, Pa" In the satchel was also a
Catholic prayer book with the name
Maggie Llrkin or Larker, of 18th
street and First avenue. Under the
name is each letter of the alphabet. A
hair brush with mixed brown and gray
hair adhering to the bristles was
also bound in the bundle, also pos
tai card and some stamps. In the back
of the prayer book on a fly leaf was
the following "For q pressant given
to Joseph Pierce From Mrs. Field Of
Main Street Black Rock, County Dub.
lin, Ireland. May 9Th Monday 1881"
On the envelope addressed to the Pres

vile, Ala" kaufman, it will be re-
member, was from Huntsville. He was
found sitting in o chair on the tugboat
early in the morning with bullet hole
in the head and stiff in death. In the
investigation which followed it was
shown that Kaufman had considerable
money and some valuable jewels in his
possession before he left Washington,
and some then limited that there might
have been foul play. This tiud may
prove the theory to be correct. The
articles contained in the sstchel have
been sent to this Office where relatives
and friends of the dead man can have
an opportunity to identify them.

COURT OF APPEALS.

The Court of Appeals yesterday de.
cided that the legislature did not abol.
ish the Office of register OF the land.
This retains Col. John W. Richardson
in office until the legislature reassem-
bles two years hence. The case came
up on petition OF the secretary of the
commonwealth for writ OF mandamus
to compel Col. Richardson to surrender
the Office. The two houses failed to
pass a concurrent act aboiishing the
Office, but eliminated the salary prov
viled for in the appropriation of the
bill. The court held that the defend
ant was duly elected to the position
and that there was no act aholishing
the office. The whole defect was in re.
lying upon the failure to appropriate
the salary of the incumbent to abolish
the Office.
