NEW MARKET AND GROCERY.
Thomas & Brandamore Will Open To-
day in the PAUL. Building.

Persons passing the new PAUL build
ing on Spruce street this morning will
catch a glimpse of what they will
undoubtedly pronounce one of the neat
est and most up-to-date business places
that Scranton boasts of. 1t is the new
grocery market Of Thomas & Branda-
more, a firm of young Scrantonians,
wkhich bids fair to take a front rank
in local commercial life.
A. j. Thomas, the senior member of
the firm, formerly conducted the Par
lor grocery at the corner of Webster
avenue and Mulberry street. B. C.
Brandamore the Junior member of the
firm, has been in the market business
since boyhood and was recently with
w. II. Pierce.
They propose to conduct a first class
and thoroughly modern store. Staple
anl fancy groceries, oysters, fish, veg
etables and fruits will be their spe-
cialties. The display of hot house
vegetables, which will be n feature of
the opening day, is in itself well worth
a visit to the store.
A new idea which will be carried out
by this firm is a special oyster service.
Parties can telephone for oysters to be
delivered for any meal and can have
them at the house on the half shell, on
ice, in specially designed tin case ready
to serve.

WHAT STATEMENT SHOWS.
The deputy controller said that this
statement shows that the mayor has
been owing the city since he has been
in office. He pointed out that in June
when the amount due the city for
April and May was $S62.50 that the
mayor had paid over only $473.5O and
that at one time namely, Nov. !, the
mayor owed the city $1,941.4O.
Mr.. Hartley points out that in No
vember the mayor paid over $1,971.40,
leaving q balance still due of $S79.40,
which sum was not paid until the after
noon of December Z, a regular meeting
of select council was scheduled for.
The amount Of fines collected during
the month of November was S5S245
which sum, according to the records,
was not paid until o'clock on Thurs
day afternoon last just prior to the
meeting of common council. The con-
troller had a letter already prepared
for submission to council reminding
them of the fact that the mayor stlll
owed $5S2.45. when he received notiflca-
ton of the payment of the money.
"I regret that this matter has come
up in the shape it has" said Mr. Hart
ley. There is no desire on the part
of this office to annoy or badger him
in any respect. But the fact is the
mayor has not been as prompt as ha
should in paying over the fines and 1t
became our duty to remind him of it.
THE controller has directed that in
future the mayor must file with him
monthly statement of all fines collected
basing his contention on Article Vii
Section 3, Act Of assembly, 1889, gov
erning third class cities which in de-
fning the duties of the mayor, says:
HE shall charge and receive for all
official servicSs the same fees and
costs as pertain by law TO the aldermen
of the city for similar services, but
shall pay over the same into the city
treasury monthly according to a state
ment nl-d d thereof by oath or atlirma-
ton before the controller and filed with
HIM"
When seen yesterday all the mayor
would say was that the statement
sworn to by him before the notary pub
lie was a correct one and showed that
he was entirely paid up to December
/. He said that the number of pledges
| and orders given sometimes rendered
it difficult for the entire amount to be
got together at the end Of each month.
