AT PENN AVENUE CHURCH.
Reception for Rev. and Mrs. r. F.
Y. Pierce.

Probably the largest assemblage ever
seen in the Penn Avenue Baptist
church was there last evening to greet
the pastor, Rev. r. F. Y. Pierce. and
his wife to their new church home.
1t was an enthusiastic greeting which
they received and must have been very
gratifying. The parlors had been elab-
orately decorated under the direction
of Mrs. l.. r. Stele, Mrs. w. w.
Browning and Miss Elizabeth Howell.
Mrs. A. d. Stelle and Mrs. William
Pierce arranged the tables, which were
eXquisitely decorated, the vivid scarlet
of the flowers making a pleasing bit
of color. Mrs. M. w. Lowry was the
chairman of the refreshment commit
tee, and was assisted by Mrs. C. w.
Roberts and Misses Frutchey. Many
attractive young ladies assisted in
serving the throng of guests.
Mrs. d. j. Thomas and Mrs. William
Pierce presided at the table during the
latter part of the evening. A large
reception committee, composed of Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Browning. DR.. and Mrs.

Assurance has been given TO officers
of the Soldiers Relief association that
husbands or other whole or part sup
ports of families now being aided by
the association will be discharged from
the Thirteenth regiment and their
places filled by recruits. An intima-
tlon that something of the kind was
afoot was given recently by The Trib-
une's special correspondent at Camp
Meade. He reported the receipt of or
ders providing that the names of all
the married members of the regiment
be forwarded to the war department.
ID. B. Atherton, secretary of the Sol
diers' Relief association, now makes
the statement that the association Is
positively assured by unquestionable
authority that the discharges will be
granted. Mr.. Atherton said yesterday
to Tribune reporter:
The Tribune may state that each
family or others who are receiving or
have received aid from this association
and who desire the discharge of hus-
bands or others who have been their
support, can now procure the dis
charges. A prescribed course of rou-
tine is necessary, however. 1t is re-
quired that letter asking for n SOL
dier's discharge be addressed to the
secretary of war the writer declaring
that she is a dependant on charity.
1T is necessary to have such letter
endorsed by a clergyman. preferably
the writer's pastor, and then by me
as a witness to the truth of the dec
laration. / am instructed to send the
letters to Camp Meade for further en-
dorsement by the commander of the
regiment and the captain of the COM
pany in which the man whose dis
charge is sought is a member. The
letters will then be sent to the war de-
partment.
mo" replied Secretary Atherton in
answer to the reporters question:" I
cannot tell you the source of our posi-
be granted. This source is, however,
authoritative and I am authorized to
say there is no uncertainty about it,"
A week ago it was known that the
discharges would be granted under
certain conditions. 1t was not known
then, nor is it now whether the same
privilege will prevail among regiments
other than the Thirteenth. At first II
was intended to send someone to Camp
Meade and obtain there the applica- =
tions and endorsements. But ii was
ascertained that the later plan of Sc
curing the applications from the fam
lilies would be the more feasible.

RECORDS AT THE HOME.
Important Work That Devolves on
Clerk John F. Williams-His Re-
ports Are Models of Neatness
and Correctness.

Few people have anything like an
accurate idea Of the manner in which
the moneys appropriated for the main
tcnat ce of the Hillside home is used.
Part of the many duties of Clerk John
f. Williams at the home. is to prepare
a report for the state auditor every
three months. The fiscal year of the
homo 6egins December and the
port which follows here is the third
quarterly report for the present fiscal
year.
This report covers the three months
or thirteen weeks previous to Septem-
Der /. The report rs prepared by Clerk
Williams and is a model OF neatness
and perfection, both in penmanship,
detail and accuracy. Mr. Williams
takes great pairs with his work through
out and frequently receives letters Of
commendation from the state auditor
and secretary of the board of public
charities, to whom his reports are sub
mitted.
The total receipts of the thirteen
weeks amounts to $11,SS4.3O. This
amount is derived from several sources
as follws: From payments for care of
private patients, $1,2l79O; from the
Scranton Poor district $4,452.35; state
apportionment, s6,2l405; grand total
$11.SS4.30.
Opposite this tabulation of receipts
is put the itemized accounts showing
expenditures. There are probably
Twenty-Five heads for proper classifica-
ton of the expenditures. The enum-
Grafton covers supplies such as food,
clothing, coal and medicine, etc. The
food part covers that which cannot
be produced upon the farm attached
to the home. Furnishings, etc. and
salaries for officers, attendants and
hired help are included in this enum-
Grafton. This footing in total being
$l1, 1,SS4.3O, including a balance unex-
pended, corresponds with the amount
Of receipts.
To gain "A clear idea the data which
is also attached to the report is here
by used in connection. For thirteen
weeks of maintenance the cost per
week is $9l4.17; cost per patient per
week s3.67. The institution must pro-
vide S1.75 per patient per week. over
and above that, but not to exceed
49, 90, the state provides. Thus deduct
ing S1.75 from 1896 we have $1.31,
which represents excess per patient per
week. The full excess per patient for
thirteen weeks amounts to $24.93. Then
for 2i9 91-22 patients for thirteen
weeks at $24.93 per week, we get $6,214.-
O5. This corresponds to the amount
noted as due from the state for re-
cepits.
The report throughout indicates that
the least detail is fully and accurately
cared for and referring back from re-
port to the books which are in charge
of Clerw Williams one sees tnat here
in ahe same panstaking scare OBJ

GENERAL INVITATIONS.
Extended by the Committee That Is
Endeavoring to Get Next
Years Firemen's State
Convention Here.

The following open invitation was
given The Tribune for publication bv
the special Joint councilmanc fire con-
Vention committee which met last
evening at the st. Charles hotel:
Citizens generally are requested without
special invitation, to join the special conf
mttee of councils, firomen and delegates
who will so to Lebanon next Tuesday for
the purpose of securing for Scranton the
1899 convention of state firemen. Arrange
ments have been made for special train
which will leave the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey depot at $50 u. M. The fare
for the round trip will be StOl
w. NJ. Finn, J. f. Roche, Simon
Thomas. Adam Schroeder. G. +. Wagner
of select council; f. w. Zizelman, +. f.,
Wenzel, NJ. V. Morris, NJ. f. Gilroy,
Charles WcnzSl. of common council.
The finance committee will today
continue its work of securing funds for
convention expenses. While but a
brief period of time has been available
for the purpose, nearly $1,000, the total
amount needed, has been subscribed.
1t is expected that the finance COM
mittee will finish its work today.
Harvey r. Long, of the bill posting
firm of Reese & Long and Detective
Nay Aug companies, respectively, will
go to Lebanon on Saturday for The
purpose of displaying the advertising
matter which they as a committee
have ordered. Nj. Long, on account
of the facilities his business affords
for such an arrangement, has engaged
every billboard and bill-posting space
in Lebanon. That city will be ablaze
with Electric City advertising matter
before Tuesday when the big Scranton
delegation will reach there.
The special Scranton train will have
along the sides of the cars large let
tered banners displaying unmstakable
evidence of where the train is from
and the object of the visit of lis pas
sengers.
On Sunday afternoon at Nay Aug
Engine house there will be a general
meeting of company delegates, iremen
and the committee Of cOuncilmen.

THIS AND THAT.

A notable new novel entitled THE
Mott, has just been issued by G.. w.
Dillingham; company, of New York,
publishers of high class works only.
Mr.. Mott Is a resident of Blakely dur
ing the summer, and is well and favor
ably known throughout the valley. He
is one Of the popular and successful
novelists of the day, and THE Queen
of Sinners" his latest production, is a
Well-written and intensely interesting
story. The leading New York newspa-
pers have spoken of this story as strik-
ingly original and unlike other novels,
dramatic and realistic and worthy Of
great success.
The plea for help for the Chirurgi-
cal hospital at Philadelphia has found
an earnest friend in this city in the
person of Mrs. +. n. Willard. who is
making strong efforts to interest peo-
pie in this most worthy object. An
hospital that cares for 500 soldiers
at once is doing a great work and
should he given aid by the people of
the country. Scranton as city has
done little for the army in the way
of sending supplies. Scarcely an
other town of its size can be found
AWhere the women have not lent some
ssistance to the Red Cross movement
in some concerted way given aid
comfort to the soldiers. This is
opportunity where excellent work
by be accom- plished.

WAS NOT SUICIDAL.
So Declares Coroner's Jury in Kerri-
gan Case.

Coroner Longstreet yesterday en-
panelled Charles Teeter, q. A. Will
liams, NJ. J. O'Toole. John Hurley,
Isaac Bumbaugh and John Wright as
jury to inquire into the death OF
Mrs. Ann Kerrigan, who passed away
Monday evening. from the effects of
laudanum poisoning.
A verdict was rendered as follows.
we find that the deceased, Mrs. Ann
kerrigan, came to her death on the
evening of Sept. rs, 1898, of laudanum
poisoning. which we believe was taken
for the purpose of allaying pain and
not with suicidal intent"
The funeral of Mrs. John f. Kerri-
gan Will luke place today at 2.SO
O'Clock from her late residence, corner
of Luzerne and Fourth streets. Inter-
ment will be made in the Cathedral
cemetery.
