The democrats are now pointing to
the Wall Street furry and saying there
is not enough currency for the business
of the country. Gambling on Wall
Street has about the same connection
with the business of the country as
gambling in mining stocks has with
mining. Business and mining goes
right ahead regardless of the gamblers.

NOTHING DEFINITE YET.
Seattle Is Asked to Verify or Deny
Report of Vetter's Death.

Nothing definite has yet been re-
ceived by Mrs. p. j. Vetter i'm regard
TO the death of her husband, Philip J.
Netter. who Ia reported TO have per-
ished in the Klondike country. In the
meantime. Mrs. Vetter is living in
hopes that the reports may have been
false, as many are inclined to think
they were.
George NJ. Watson, Mr. Netter's at
torney, yesterday telcgraphed to the
Associated Press authorities and they
promised to direct their correspondent
In Seattle to thoroughly investigate the
matter. Mr.. Watson also telegraphed
G. W. Frankland. formerly of this city,
but now of Seattle and Mrs. Vetter
received the following dispatch yester-
day in reply:
Seattle. Washington. July 19.--To Mrs.
p. j. Vetter, Scranton, Pa: Mrs. Bcns
not arrived. Next steamer. Bad reports
from Vetter's party. Information about
steamer expected soon. VIII wire any
definite information. c. w Frankland.

repair IL. For some reason that no one
was able to explain, the engine was not
repaired and now 1t is almost beyond
help. II will cost $1,000 to get 1t in any
kind of shape for service and the mem
bers of the fire department committee
believe 1t the part of wisdom to get
new engine. 1t Is therefore desired to
use the S400 to make changes on the
engine house
Mr.. Zizleman, chairman Of the Joint
fire department committee. was freely
interrogated about the condition of the
apparatus of the department and said
the General Phinney engine Is in the
same condition as tho Franklin. a year
ago it could have been made service
able for S4O0. Now 1t is almost useless
and it will cost 81 600 to get it into any
kind of shape for service. Even after
eXpendng that amount of money on 1t
there is no guarantee that IL can be
depended upon.
THE CRYSTAL, STEAMER.
The Crystal steamer is undergoing
repairs at the Cliff works. 1t was
stored In an unheated building behind
the city hall last winter. the water In
the flues froze, then the fues burst, and
it will cost the city more than $3.50 to
make the repairs now i'm progress
The hose rots because there is no
proper way of drying it, and the hose
wagons are falling apart because re-
pairs are not made as soon as they be-
come necessary.
Mr.. Zizleman gave 1t as his opinion
that a good deal of the city's appar-
atus is in such a deplorable condition
because the men employed by the city
to care for the engines and wagons are
in some instances incompetent and
careless.
Mr.. Keller said it Is evident there Is
gross carelessness in the care of the
city property. If engines are allowed
to get out of order and stay out of
order and If wagons fall apart through
inattention, and hose rots because ii
is not properly dried. it is someone's
fault and that someone ought to be
made to answer.
1t was decided to postpone action on
the ordinance until the next meeting,
but the excitement was not allowed to
die out Just then.
While the fire department was under
wanted to say a word. Last april the
| fire department committee bought ST.
700 worth of horses from Frank Cobb
and two of the horses went to the
| Cumberland Hose company. One OF
them has since developed a number OF
ailments and Mr.. Grier wants the fire
department committee to make Cobt
| furnish a sound animal for the dis
eased one. He made motion to that
| effect and it passed.
Mr. Zizleman explained that wher
the horses were purchased they were
examined by the veterinary surgeon o.
the department and he pronounced
them sound. Since then one of tn,
horses assigned to the Cumberland
company has become blind and devel
oped the fact that he is wind broken

Mr.. Cobb will be asked to do what /:

as he has arranged to take up private
practice. The position Of junior house

| employees of the Delaware, LaCkawan-

| and the LaCkawanna Iron and Steel
company. The custom of admitting
| as free patients members of the i'm
| mediate families of employees was in
| corporated INTO a rule.
The proportion of paid patients at
| present is about one-half. but the
| capacity of the institution is not over
taxed at that. The hospital was
| thrown open to the general public
about two years ago by order of the
| board of directors when it was seen
that the patients for whom it was or
| iginally intended did not commence
to fill it.
