ELECTRIC LIGHT DocKAGE.
Auditing Committee Thought that 1t
was Too Small

There was some little discussion at
last nights meeting of the Joint audit
ing committee of councils over the
small number of lights reported out
for the month of August by the police.
According to the police reports there
were only 1856 lights out during the
monts. making a dockage Of only
$3l 20 to be taken from a bill amount
ing TO Si,0S3. The members of the COM
mttee were unanimous in considering
this number of lights to he ridicuously
small, and the bill was held up pending
an investigation.
Bills amounting to s4j for the analy-
sis of paint used on the Roaring Brook
bridge were held up. the contention
being that they should be paid by f.
j. Johnson, the contractor, and not by
the city.
1t was decided to direct the chief of
the fire department II have his clerk
in the future send to the committee
the original time sheets for bunk and
call men sent in by the captain of the
various companies. This was decided
upon after the payroll of the bunk and
call men for the months of July and
August had been read.
Here's whore we'll get bunCoed," "
said Chairman Vaughan, "if We don't
commence right here and now to safe
guard our interests. These fellows
will be turning in all kinds of time re-
ports IL We don't watch out"

The Democratic county committee
met at the st. charles last night and
issued call for the county conven-
tion.
The primaries will he held Tuesday,
September II, and the convention on
the following Thursday.NThc primaries
will be conducted between the hours
OF and y. m. The convention will
be held in Music hall and will COM
menCe at ? o'clock a. IN.
This will he the largest convention,
in point of the number of delegates,
ever held by the Lackawanna Demo-
Gratis, the new apportionment having
increased the total representation from
49, to 1872. A district having polled more
than $50 votes for the presidential
candidate is entitled TO two delegates,
and a poll of more than 30 votes gives
n district three delegates. Twenty-nine
districts of the county are entitled to
two delegates each. Archibald. Second
ward; Scranton, Third ward. First dis
trict, and Scranton, Twentieth ward
Second district, are each entitled to
three delegates.
ONLY EIGHT PRESENT.
Only eight of the twenty-six mem
bers of the committee attended the
meeting These were Vice chairman
T.. G. Newcomb, Secretary r. p. Duffy,
School Board Solicitor u. J. Reedy,
County commissioner John j. Durkm,
Deputy Jail Warden Victor Burschell,
J. ]. O'Boylc. Colonel Herman Osthaus
and NJ. j. Donahoe. Mr.. Recdy was
called to preside in the absence Of
County Chairman James j. ONeil. 1t
was explained that the slim attendance
was due to the fact that no notices
were sent out. Chairman O'Neills let
ter directing Secretary Duffy to call
the meeting was delivered at the lat
ter's office while he was at the Pam
American.
1t is an open question yet as to who
will he the Democratic candidate for
judge. Il. G. Newcomb can have the
nomination if he wants it, the wise
ones say, but he has not thus far in
diCated that he wants it. 1t is be-
lieved among the leaders that he will
take it and that an announcement of
his candidacy will be forthcoming in a
| few days.
Cornelius ComcEys and Aaron Au-
| gustus Chase were about the st
| Charles last night. ready to declare
their willingness to he judge If any
one cared to sound them. Mr. Comegys
| has formally announced his candidacy
| Mr.. Chase Is conditional candidate

there is talk of running :. b. Price
or !. II. Burns.
! DR.. j. +. Saltry, DR.. Lynch. o

as candidates for county surveyor.
County Auditor r. w. Costello still
continues to be without opposition 70

tain he will be accorded an unanimou

1t is quite possible a slate will b
| made up that will he acceptable al
around and that the convention will
have nothing to do but to go through
the formality of making nominations

STOCK EXCHANGE DECISION.


New York, March 22.-Judge Leyen-
tritt OF the supreme court has rendered
a decision which is adverse to the
New York stock exchange in the case
OF Henry c, Bernheim as administra-
tor Of Abraham c. Bernheim VS. Adolph
keppler as president OF the exchange.
The history Of the ease is as follows.
Abraham Bernhelm was a member Of
the stock exchange and died member
Upon his death the stock exchange
committee sold his seat and appro-
prlated the proceeds In payment Of a
debt owed by him 10 another member,
j, Levy q Co. But the debt amounting
70 $4,000. had been contracted before
Bernhelm became a member OF the
exchange. The exchange committee APP
piled the proceeds of the sale Of this
debt under an article Of the c0nstitu-
ton Of the exchange Counsel for the
plaintiff contended that the proceeds OF
the sale could not be applied 20 the
debt because the debt was not con-
traeted between members Of the insti-
tuition. The defendant was necessar-
ily President keppler because the ex-
exchange is not an incorporated insil-
tuition. The litigation was begun in
1891. and argument was made before
Judge LeYentrtt In November last. His
decision Is important since II Is UNI
oerstood. this is the first court decision

BrG CHINESE FAILURE
First Ever 10 Occur In New York's
Chinatown.

New York, March 22.-The first busi-
ness failure has occurred In NETWORKS
Chinatown. The old grocery house Of
the Wing Wo Hing company has filed
a petition In bankruptcy, with liabili-
ties Of s7,46S and assets at EglS. Many
Chinese merchants were caught for
various small amounts in the financial
crash of this old house, which had been
doing business for nearly fifteen years.
II the head Of the firm, Lee Young
Ling had not loved beautiful Celes-
4lal maiden in the distant flowery pro-
vince of Kong Tong the failure prob
ably would never have taken place.
least he thinks so and declares that
while he was away wooing and marry
ing the girl OF his choice in China his
partners injured the business. Lee
Lung Ling came here from China
nearly seventeen years ago, leaving he
hind him the beautiful Suey Sing. He
promised that he would return with a
fortune In ten years and claim her
hand. Just fifteen years from the day
of his leave-taking he returned 10 Kong
Tong and his fiancee welcomed him
with open arms and they were soon
married TO the Joy OF their parents and
friends. Before going away Ling had
taken into partnership with him his
manager Lee Tan Wing and Young Lun
Que. his bookkeeper. They ran the
business while he was gone Just be-
fore the Chinese New Year Ling landed
In New York and found that his firm
owedevery one from whom they could
get credit. Most OF the creditors were
