RATE HAS BEEN INCREASED.
Scranton Gas and Water Company's
Bill for Octobe

1t will be remembered that the
Scranton Gas and Water company
sent communication to the councils
of the city, through the mayor. on
Sept. %, informing them that the ex-
listing water rate of $4,000 year would
have to be discontinued and that a
new contract at an advanced figure
would have to be entered into by the
city, If 1t wanted to be supplied with
water by the company.
The communication further an
nounced that the present rate would
remain In force until such time as
councils took action and perfected an
adjustment. The communication was
read in select council and was referred
to special committee. which has done
nothing whatever with 1t since.
The company officials have evidently
decided that councils are ignoring
them, for City Clerk Lavele yesterday
received the bill for water for the
month of October and 1t footed UP
to $416.67, instead of s333.33, as hereto
fore. This is an increase of $S3. "a per
month, or little over $1,000 year.
1t was learned late yesterday after
noon that u meeting of the special
committee will be held tonight in the
city clerks office to consider the uues-
tion. The committee consists of

MORE NEW INDUSTRIES.
That's What Mc1kinley's Triumph
Means, Says Secretary Atherton,

II believe" said Secretary Atherton
of the board of trade, yesterday, that
the news of McKinley's reelection will
have the effect of reassuring several
manufacturers who have been look ing
around for sites and who consider
Scranton to be about as desirable a
location as they could find, but who
have been little timid of the conse-
quences which would SO surely have
followed the election of Mr.. Bryan.
II expect a visit within few days
from a Brooklyn manufacturer Of
spikes, who has long been desirous
of locating outside of New York city
and who was on the point of coming
here when the coal strike began. That
scared him off for time, and when
it was settled he was still little bit
afraid until after election.
II believe that Mr.. McKinley's elec-
tions means more for Scranton than
most people imagine, and 1 prophecy
a wonderful Industrial growth for this
city within the next year"

The Wonderful Work Which Will
Attract Millions of People to Buff

The bureau of publicity of the Pan
American exposition has just issued
very complete booklet descriptive
of the enterprise to be held at Buffalo
next year. The booklet contains AZ

items. The publicity up to the present
time has been piece-meal, bringing
out the various features as they
have developed, but an examination
Of this booklet gives to the reader
very comprehensive idea of the
splendid character of the exposition.
The total cost of the exposition, eX-
elusive of exhibits, is now estimated
at Sl0,000000. OF this amount, about
$3,0O00O0 will be expended upon the
Midway, The sum for the Midway is
more than the total cost of some very
pretentious eXposftions, so that by
comparison one may gain very fair
idea of the work which Buffalo IL

other mage of this issue. will give the
reader a better idea of how the candi-
didates Jared at the hands of the West
Scranton voters than can be told here,

the substantial vote received by PreSi-
dent Mckinley. Congressman Connell,
Clerk of the Courts Daniels. District
Attorney Lewis, Treasurer Scranton

and James. 1t is to be regretted that

The voters of West Scranton are
proud Of the fact that four residents
of this place, Messrs. Daniels, Lewis,
Reynolds and James, came out of the
battle of ballots with substantial plur-
alities.
The manner in which the mine work.
ers showed their appreciation of Con-
gressman Connells efforts in their be-
half during the recent strike is clear
10 every one, and instead Of voting
against him they rallied to his support
in all the districts in way that leaves
no doubt regarding their sincerity.
Not alone was the opposition over
come and all antipathy dispelled, but
their remains a substantial majority
in his favor which cannot be ques-
toned.
West Scranton is an important fac
tor in Lackawanna county politics and
deserves to be from the fact that about
one-fifth of the county's population
is located west of the Iackawa nna
river. With McKinley's election as
sured, the strike amicably settled and
renewed confidence among the busi-
ness men and workingmen. there is
every reason to believe that during
the next four years there will be a
great building boom and Industrial
growth hereabouts.

Walter Kirke, the 12-year-old boy
whose parents reside in the rear Of
North Washington avenue, and who
was taken to the Lackawanna hospi-

being impaled on an iron fence spike,
is making excellent progress at the
Lackawanna hospital, where no doubt
of his recovery is now entertained.
DR.. l.. M. Gates, of the hospital staff,
assisted by Drs. Busch and Walker,
made a careful examination of the
wound the boy suffered. The point of
the spike penetrated the abdomen
about thre inhces, but any very serious
results We're prevented by the prompt
examination. Contrary to first eX-
pectations. it was not found necessary
to operate.
