THE FAILURE
OF YOUNG BAIRD.
A Smart, Shrewd Business Man
in Tight Place.

The troubles of G. r. Baird & Co.
which have LED to various attach
ments being made against property
here, will probably compel the head
of that concern to give up his plans
of expansion, if indeed, he is not
forced to make complete failure of
his entire business.
Had Baird not made failure Just
now, if he had been provided with a
bit more capital, it might have been
that he would have been an import
ant man for the future of Briugeton.
He is young man, not more than
thirty five possibly, and he has splen-
did business capacity. He struck a
bonanza few years ago in the pig
iron market, and with prices soaring
skyward, money rolled into his Golfers
with great rapidlty.
This money he invested In further
business enterprise. He bought up
mills here and there in the country,
and not, as has been Stated, did he
abandon them when business was
dull, but he improved them and at
this time, controls no less than four
teen different plants and had en-
ployed more than seven Thousand
people.
The lease that he made with the
trustee of the Cumberland Nail 4
finn nj
that he secured. He had planned to
buy the property, and would have
made this an important concern.
When he first opened the pipe mill
here to operation, prices were away
up and he turned out all the pipe he
could. Raw materials he purchased
in great quantities, when prices
were at top figures, and there came
"A drop in prices, and he was caught
in all his concerns, as here, and
materials were made up at great loss
to him.
Again, when Baird first started
into this business, he was looked upon
by the old concerns as an upstart,
and little attention was paid him.
The veteran iron men thought he
would soon meet with reverses, and
drop out OF sight. But he continued
his policy of business expansion, and
with certain independence, cnarac-
teriStic of the man, he began to die
tate prices, and the old line manu-
facturerS became alarmed. They
paid some attention to him. They
recognized business rival, and they
began to get together, and put be-
fore him obstacles that were embar-
RAISING. The combination was big
one, and with the sharp decline in
prices, just at an inopportune time,
they pinched him, and it looks now
as if he was about to meet his
Waterloo.
Still he is man of earnest con-
viction and indefatigable effort, and
he is working night and day, most
herOically, to extricate himself and
pull out successfully. He may do
so, but he is not sufficiently identi-
fled with Bridgeton to remain here,
and he will probably make no effort
to again lease the property or renew
the option he had for it's purchase.

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Samuel p. Foster Appointed by
the Court of Chancery.

The Camden Telegram Monday
published the following report from
the Court of Chancery Chambers in
Camden:
s'The rule to show cause why re-
ceiver should not be appointed for
the Gilchrist Jar Company, of Elmer,
which was made returnable to-day,
was not opposed, but several counsel
present, representing the creditors,
all had different names to suggest to
the Court. The names of William
Wharton, the present manager;
Frank H. Gibson, Bloomfield II.
Minch, Judge r. T. Miller and S. P.
Foster, of Elmer, were offered. After
considerable discussion Vice Chan
cellor Reeu appointed S. P. Foster,
of the Elmer Times, as the receiver
and filed his bond at S5, 600.
The assets of the company were
stated to be about $40, 900, while the
liabilities are about s45, ,0OO."
She Took the Cash
This one is on a young Commerce
street barber. A Church street
young lady passed a compliment on
the barber, he heard of it and the
next time they met he-Said joking in
a modest way, 'have quarter and
proceeded to give the young lady the
piece of money. She took it, and
thanked him, kindly. He felt so bad
about it he had to tell some friends,
and yet he'll wonder how it got in
the paper.

COMMON COUNCIL TONIGHT.
Fire Department Horse squabble
Will Come UP Again.

Common council will meet tonight,
and the famous question, over the fire
department horses will be resurrected.
The resolution passed by select coun-
Gil dismlssing Veterinarian Sitterly
will come up for the concurrence of
the commoners. and the action of the
body Is being eagerly anticipated, by
all who have followed the affair
through it's winding channel.
one of the city hall officials yester-
day made the remark that the matter
of Sitterley's dismissal really amount
ed to very little, as pr. Sitterley was
never regularly appointed to the Of
flee, and there really is no such post
as city veterinarian. Said the afore-
said official, quietly:
"There is no such position as city
veterinarian. among the municipal Of
fcials. Councils never took Gny ac-
tlon regarding 1t, and never appointed
DR.. Sitterley. 1t merely rests with the
chief of tho fire department, to whom
he will takc the horses, when they are
in need Of treatment. The fact that
DR.. Sitterlcy has no regular salaried
position was made evident by the fact
that he rendered separate bills for the
attention given to the police horses.

Debt Against the Stock.

Judge Edwards, sitting in equity
yesterday heard evidence in the suit of
Geor"e II. Winans against the Sander
son Oil and Speciality company. w.
A. Wilcox represented the plaintiff and
c. Fl. Welles the defendant.
Dec. 27, $685. w. X. Reichart and
Charles r. Sanderson formed the
Reichart & Sanderson Oil company.
March IS, 1900, the company was incor-
porated as the Sanderson Oil and Spe-
cialty company. Jan. %, 1899, Mr..
Winans bought from Mr.. Reichart a
certificate for twenty of the $25 shares
of the new company. The officers of
the new company refused to transfer
the shares 10 Mr.. Winans on the books
of the corporation and he brought suit
to compel them 10 do So
The defense is that Mr.. Reichart is
indebted 10 the company in the sum
of $44453, and that the indebtedness
is a charge against the stock he dis
posed Of to Mr.. Winans.
The defense is presenting evidence to
corroborate q claim that when the liza
bilities of the original company were
being inventoried, a thousand dollars
worth of debts were overlooked and
that when the matter was brought 10
the attention of Mr.. Relchart, he con-
sented to assume s4i453 of the indebt-
edness.

FIERCE FIRE ON TIE
EAST MOUNTAIN
1t Caused a Great Deal of Damage
in the Timber Land Owned by
the Gas and Water Company.

A fierce fire ragged all of yesterday on
the East mountain, and great heavy
clouds of smoke that floated toward
the city told of the destruction that
was being wrought.
The fire started about two miles from
Lake Scranton, near Slmonson's hotel,
in the timber land OF the Scranton
Gas and Water company, and spread
rapidly. All over the mountain side
the timber IL dry as tinder and the
flames fed on it with great delight.
AS quickly as possible the Gas and
Water company organized fre-fight-
ing brigade of thirty men, who fought
the flames with great vigor all day
and all of last night BY this morn
ing they expected to have It eXtin-
guishcd, or, at least, well under con-
troll.
Just how the fire started M one can
tell, but it is supposed that some care
less person started a fire somewhere
in the timber and then left IL to burn
out. The high wind of yesterday was
favorable to the spread of the flames
Forest fires have appeared IN vari'
Gus other places in this vicinity.

No return from the grand jury was
made yesterday. but 1t is likely one
will be forthcoming today.
The most important cases heard yes
terday We're those against the men
taken in the raid on the alleged gam
bling establishments conducted at the
Manhattan club in the Windsor build
ing and the Turf Exchange on Spruce
street.
Evidence was also heard in liquor
cases against Anthony Dunleavy, of
172S Cedar avenue: James Gallagher,
of 1876 South Washington avenue;
James j. Gettings, Of 1881 Lafayette
street; Patrick Glynn, of 2211 Jackson
street; Mrs. Hannah Lally, of 4O5 Put
nam street: Henry Rush, of 113 South
Seventh street: j. f. Roche, of
1929 l'ittston avenue: Martin Rabiga,
of Prospect avenue, and j. c. Taylor,
of 102 North Ninth street.
To economize time the grand jury
heard the evidence in all nine liquor
cases in a bunch, this being made pos
sible by reason Of the fact that the
witnesses, agents of the Mems union,
were the same in each case.
No further hearings in the council
manic bribery cases were had. num-
her of witnesses were on hand, but the
rush of other business prevented their
being called. The evidence, Il is said
is not complete in the two bribery
cases that have been heard, and IL a
return is made today, It is quite likely
the presentment in those two cases
Will not be included.

Carbondale School Bother.

A hearing was had yesterday before
Judge Edwards on the motion for a
rule for preliminary injunction to
restrain H. J. Hockenberry, p. F.
Hughes and w. r. Moon, school direc-
tors, and the Carbondale school hoard,
from preventing Prof. w. d. Dryden
from acting as principal Of the High
school.
The testimony OF the plaintiffs side
was in line with the averments of the
affidavit accompanying the motion for
the injunction, and printed heretofore
in The Tribune. Prof. Dryden was
elected principal, October 2, 1899, for
one year at salary of $1,000. On
May q, 1900, the retiring school board.
by resolution, extended the contract
period another year.
When the new board came into
power it rescinded the extension reso-
luton and engaged Prof. C. NJ. Lesher.
an assistant at the High school, to
serve as acting principal at a salary
Of $3.50 per month.
When the school opened, September
(, tie two claimants to the principal
ship were on hand and a clash ensued.
Directors Hockenberry, Hughes and
behalf of Prof. Lesher. Prof. Dryden
refused to obey their behest to quit
the building, and was only removed
with the aid Of a constable and a war
rant sworn out by Director Hocken-
berry, charging him with disorderly
conduct. Prof. Lesher assumed the
principalship and is now in charge OF
| the school.
Prof. l. yden claims he is the right
fully elected principal. Prof. Lesher
or rather the directors opposed tc
Prof. Dryden, allege that the resolution
extending Prof. Bryden's term was in
valid inasmuch as a contract could
not be extended by a simple resolu.
| ton. A new election was necessary, II
| is claimed.
The Dryden side claims that the ap.
pointment of Prof Lesher as actins
| principal was a ruse to hold the prin'
| cipalship vacant till such time as the
| board could be gotten in line to cleo
| Director Hockenberry to the place
Mr.. Hockenberry was formerly princi'
pal. 1t is averred that he seeks to re-
turn to the position, and that he vii
resign and have the board elect in hi!
place a man who will vote for him t
be principal.
The other side argues that the actio,
of the preceding board in continuing
the contract term of Prof. Dryden wa
done for the purpose of unfairly fore
stalling the right of the new board t
elect principal
The plaintiffs side is represented b,
+. c. Newcomb, l. II. Burns and Hon
John F. Reynolds. The respondents
attorneys are II. c. Butler, eX-Judg

Was Amicably Adjusted.

BY agreement between the attorneys.
the rule for an injunction to prevent
the Archibald Water company from
keeping the water shut off from the
Archibald central school building was
practically dismissed, yesterday.
The water is to be turned on be-
tween the hours of a. m. and p. m.
on school days, and the school board is
given until October ! to repair the
plumbing which causes the waste that
the water company complains Of.
Judge Edwards made an order to the
effect that IL the board fails to do this
the injunction rule is to be dismissed,
