SUICIDE STORY DOUBTFUL.
Letter and Telegram Received Here
Would Tend to Discredit It.

\ letter received yesterday by Mrs.
Ann Morgan, of 1928 Academy street,
and a telegram received by Chief OF
Police Robling would tend to discredit
the dispatches received here to the ef-
feet that Mrs. MOrgan's son, Joseph,
and another Scranton man, Joseph II.
Williams, had attempted to commit
suicide in Seattle.
The letter was from Morgan himself.
It told that he fell from train and
broke his leg, but mentioned nothing
of any mishap to Williams and made
no reference whatever to suicide.
The telegram was from the chief OF
police of Seattle and was in answer to
query from Chief Robling as to the
truth of the suicide story. The tele-
gram simply told that the suicide story
was not true, and that details would
be sent by mail

DE ORC WOULD NOT PLAY.
Declined a Chance at Another $500
Of Keogh's Money.

Dispatches from Chicago yesterday
announced that Alfredo De ORC, who
defeated Keogh for the pool champion
ship and $500 last week, had declined
to meet Keogh forthwith in another
game for $500, and had left for New
York, saying he had urgent business
there that could not be postponed.
This was corroborated by letter re-
ceived here yesterday from Keogh. He
says that he challenged De ORC TO play
another game at once, but that the
Cuban could not be induced to accept
it. Keogh will formally challenge him
for the championship medal through

Exceeding the estimate by ...... 1914 %
1t is desirable that the revenues should
exceed the expenses for the reason that
the district has for several years been
Obliged TO borrow and pay large amount
for interest on Overdrafts at bank. The
discontinuancc of the interest account
would be no small saving, as during the
year 1897 we paid the sum of $l,j5S. 50 in
terest and in 1895 81 l09 81 interest on bor-
rowed money to pay warrants as they
became due.

for the increased facilities for caring for
