THREE NEW BATTLESHIPS.

Fighting Giants just Ordered For
American Navy VIII he MaryeIs.
Designs for the three greatest battle
ships in the world have Just been
agreed upon by the naval board Of
ships will be named the Georgia. the
New Jersey and the Pennsylvania
There has been IL long delay in settling
upon the plans. The new ships will be
as heavily armored as any battleship
now in existence. With the addition
OF new American improvements their
lighting effectiveness will surpass any
thing now afiOat, says the New York
World. Their speed will be 10 knots
an hOur-possibly even greater than
that.
Each of these formidable ships will
have Il displacement OF 1000 ions and
n coal bunker capacity of 1000 tons.
Each will be able TO cruise 1000 niles
straightaway. No foreign power has
anything to compare with them. They
will cost $T.OOO.OUO apiece.
There will be on each Of these new
ships two Superimposed turrets. one
forward and one aft. each containing
two II inch and two inch guns of the
new elongated type and high smoke
less powder velocity. The rest of the
main battery will consist of twelve
g inch quick fire guns In brOadside.
This plan. which secures an angle and
concentration of fire not approached
by any other system. is made feasible
by the two story turrets, an innovation
tried eXperimentally on the Kearsarge
and the Kentucky and now known to
be an unqualified success. Foreign
governments are preparing to adopt
the two story turrcts.
Much of the delay has been due to
the difficulty in obtaining the new
Krupp armOr at $500 n ton. the limit
of price fixed by congress in making
the appropriation for the new battle
ships. Three thousand tons OF the
Krupp process armor is equivalent in
defensive power to 1000 tons of the
harvcyiZcd armor. The l 900 tons saw
ed on each ship by using the lighter,
stronger steel will he available for in
creased prOpellinE machinery and coal
carrying capacity. Work on the new
ships will soon be begun.

FESTIVAL OF HANUCCA.
Jewish Residents of City Now Com
memorate the Deliverance from
Syrian Tyranny.

The festival of Hanuccl began Sat.
urday evening and for eight days will
be observed by the Jewish residents
OF the city, only the first and last days,
however, being regarded as sacred.
The festival commentaries the de-
liverance Of the Hebrew race from the
yoke of Syrian conquerors, and marks
the great and successful revolution in
augurated and waged by judah Macca
bee, one of the greatest soldiers of
Jewish history. This intrepid warrior,
with his four brothers, formed the nu-
Cleus of the revolutionary movement
and after several hard tough. battles
victory perched upon his banners and
the honor of the nation had been saved
and an independent government and
undisputed right to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates OF conscience
We're won.
One of the ancient and pleasing GUS
toms still carried on in come ctiOn with
the general observance is thc lighting
of special candles in temples and
homes. This is done in accordance
with the story that when the Triumph
ant army marched into Jerusalem only
one vial of unpolluted Oil was discov-
cred which could be burned in tha holy'
temple. But this little flask when
lighted continued to shed it's ligh, for
eight days.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-12-18

burning in the market Of NJ. Lynott,
at 25 Lackawanna avenue. The stove
had sprung aleak and the oil, as it es-
capped was blazing merriiy, 1t was
only question of minutes before q
big fire would result.
Patroman Day dashed for the box
and turned in an alarm. Even as he
did so large quantity of the oil
overHowed onto the floor and the
flames rose to the ceiling, The whole
inside of the store seemed to instantly
become atire.
'ItH have too much headway be-
fore the companies arrive" said a by
stander 1.-THE building will 60
wait and see" said Lieutenant Da-
Wis, and as he spoke the changing
bells could be heard and the Nay
Augs and Phoenix companies could be
seen coming down the avenue at ter
rifle speed. BY actual count, it was
Just one minute and three quarters
from the time the alarms was sent in
until both these companies We're on
the scene,
The door was smashed i'm and the
turned on, and the flames eXtin-
auished.
One and three-quarter minutes in
the middle of the night is pretty near
record breaking time for distance Gov
cred, let. it be said, and 1t means Il
vast deal to the property owners of
this city that we have a department
cuDable of making it.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-12-18

of that kind would be passed; so we
may as we'll make the best of the
changed conditions, and conform to
the new regulations which the law de-
clares shall supersede the old.
A great deal has been said about
the Second class system of city gov
ernment," but I think the word sys-
tenn is not applicable in this connec-
:ion. 1t can hardly be said that the
acts Of assembly relating to cities Of
the second class. provided any COM
plete system of municipal govern
ment.
These acts are not entirely in har-
mony with respect to the organization
Of the new city government, and most
of the complications will arise, in my
opinion, on account of apparently con-
dieting provisions as to the reappor-
tionment Of councilmen, and the cleo
tiOn Of the new officers who do not
have any existence in third class
cities.
1t is no longer a debatable ques-
tion as to what officers shall be elected
after the transition, as it has been
expressly decided by the Supreme
court that all officers whose terms
have not expired, shall continue in
office until the end of their respective
terms. Adopting the language of the
judge who delivered the opinion, to
which [ have Just referred, the proper
officers to which the city will be en-
titled. under the change in classifica-
ton, are for those offices created by
the law for cities of the second class
and which did not exist in cities of
the third class: in other words, those
offices which are required to be filled
for the first time in the city Of Scran-
ton. including the additional council-
men to which each ward will be, en-
titled under the new apportionment.
When this organization shall have
been effected, the next difficulty to
be met will be to decide what laws
relating to third class cities are still
in force. for the reason that they have
rot been supplied by provisions of
second class city legislation.
This is no easy task, and it is highly
essential that digest be compiled.
containing an abstract of all laws and
ordinances in force after the transit
ton is complete. AS has been said,
both Pittsburg and Allegheny City are
governed to some extent by special
legislation; while the city of Scranton
IS now working under the provisions
of general acts, viz: Acts of 1874 and
of 1889. almost entirely. All of the
city ordinances will remain in force,
except so far as they are inapplicable
to the legislation relating to the sec
ond class city government, and sucn
new ordinances will have to he passed
as are required to meet the changed
conditions.
The first ordinance necessary is one
providing for the departments, etc,
which we have as n second class city,
and, of course, it will be necessary to
adopt an appropriation ordinance for
the next fiscal year to meet the new
conditions. A few months will, no
doubt, see us safely launched upon
our new municipal bark, and every
citizen of our city will hope for calm
seas until we get accustomed to the
navigation of our novel craft.
