Y. M. c. A. BUILDING.
Secretary Mahy Is at Work on the
illustrated Prospectus of the
Proposed Structure.

Secretary George q. Mahy, of the
local branch of the Young Mems Chris
tian association, is in receipt of an ad-
vance. copy Of the January number OF
Association Men," the official organ
of the association in this country. The
number contains several interesting
articles describing the progress of as
sociation work in this country during
the past year and also q number Of
pictures of the projected new Young
Mems Christian association buildings,
including one of the new Scranton
building
There have been new association
buildings erected in various parts of
the country during the past year, the
total value of which foots up to $3.50, 900,
or three quarters of million. The as
sociation has been especially active
during the past year in work among
the soldiers at present in active SER
vice. There being now over two dozen
secretaries actively engaged in the
work in the Philippines.
In the college field the association has
been especially prominent, the total
number of student associations being
now more than 600 with a membership
of over $4,000.
The number of new buildings to be
erected during the coming year is very
large, among the larger cities who Will
build new structures being Scranton.
Dayton, O.; Springfield. Mass, and
New Haven, Conn. The Scranton
building. however, as regards both cost
and general appearance. is worthy of
being placed at the head of the list.
1t is larger than any of the other build
ings. with the exception Of the one at
Dayton, and is to be finished in a far
more artistic manner than that one.
Secretary Mahy is busily engaged In
perfecting the work of getting out the
illustrated prospectus of the new build
ing. which will be ready by the first Of
next week. This will contain forty
pages and number of half-tone Gets
representing interior and exterior views
OF the new building. made from pen
and ink sketches by the architect.
The prospectus will also contain u
history of the local association since
its organization in S5S and pictures of
the old Wyoming avenue building, both
before and after the fire. The reasons
for the removal of the site from Wyo-
ming avenue to the corner Of WASH
ingtOn avenue and Mulberry street will
also be given.
Mr., Mahy states that the three stores
which are planned for the ground floor
have already been rented, whereas it
was almost impossible to obtain ten
ants for the Wyoming avenue stores
This. however. is partially explained by
the fact that the three projected stores
have been rented by druggist, caterer
and barber, respectively. all of whom
will depend more or less for their pa
tronage on the members of the asso-
citation.
One Of the features of the new build
ing which will be appreciated will be
the roof garden.

Pittsburg. Jan. 3.-The American
Manufacturer will say tomorrow:
The beginning of the new year has
brought new business and the iron and
steel markets have begun to stiffen.
Actual changes in prices have not beea
announced, but there has been an ad-
ditional firmness shown in all lines
that points to advances in quotations

gins to appear i'm volume. The sheet
makers have taken their weakened sit

given are merely nominal. Actual
rates are at a figure somewhat above

In the case Of steel bars there has
been a decision in the shape Of quota
tions for $2.25. which Is a shrinkage
of from 25 to 40 cents within the past
two months. Iron bar still holds Its

time to time from limited quarters

of bar iron manufacturers does not in
dicate that the situation is affecting
them.
The downward movement noticeable
in the case of narrow plates has been
checked and the indications are that
within a short time another advance
will be ordered. The ease with which
the narrow plates can be rolleo on 9TH
er than strictly plate mills led to the
expansion of the production and con-
sequent cheapening Of the price. All
that has been stopped, however, AMI
with the change comes a stiffenins
and promise of an advance. At pres
ent there is nothing stronger than a
firmer feeling.
In bessemer and the foundry irons
the holiday dullness was more appar-
ent than real. though the transactions.
as for some weeks, have been confined
to relatively small lots of material
without alterations in the current quo

Sunbury, Pa, Jan. 3.-Edward Cres-
singer, the slayer of Daisy Smith, ex-
plated his crime on the gallows in the

condemned man spent q quiet night
and appeared to be unconcerned about

cession to the scaffold was led by Sher-
iff Serfng. and Rev. Prosius, Cressin-

confessed his guilt.

met Daisy Smith. the 16-year-old

very jealous Of the girl
A quarrel was the result of the meet
ing in tho field and the dispute becom-
ing too warm, Miss Smith started to-
wards her home. AS she was walking
away from him Cressinger shot her
in the back. While she lay mortallv
wounded Cressinger cut her throat
from ear 70 ear with hunting knife.
After the finding of the body sus-
picion rested on Cressinser and an off,

In equity court yesterday the hear
ing Of the case OF Thomas Davis
against the Lackawanna Coal COM
pany, limited, was concluded before
Judge Savidge and Wednesday next
fixed as the time for hearing argu-
ments.
The defence was, as told in yester-
days Tribune, that Davis leasehold
had lapsed by reason of his failure TO
begin mining within specified time
and further that the lease was signed
by the Davenports under "a misappre-
hension.
MIR. and Mrs. Davenport both testi-
fed that they were led to believe they
were to receive $4,000 for their inter-
est in the property, but it afterwards
developed that the agreement which
they had been induced to make would
give them much smaller returns. They
further alleged that certain papers en-
tered in the case purporting to bear
their signatures were forgeries.
