Old Firemen Heard From,

Recently at final meeting of the Cen
tury Volunteer Hose company, a mo-
tion to divide the money in the treasury
among the members was put and after
being carried, the cash was divided pro
rata and the organization dissolved.
This action on the part of the members
was right and proper as far as they
were concerned. but it appears to have
angered some of the older men, especially
some of those who first organized the
company. and ran with the old machine
before it was admitted to the Scranton
fire department.
One of these charter members on Sat-
urday gave voice to his feelings as fol-
lows: among those still living who
helped organize the Centuries are John
They cared for the infant and tenderly
reared it,"
While the organization was in swad-
ding clothes the men above mentioned
did all in their power and it finally be-
came one of the best companies in the
department. The same men collected
nearly 5000 to purchase furniture when
the company went into permanent quar-
ters on Pittston avenue, and they also
donated to the company handsome set
of bells. while Mr.. Neuls gave into the
hands of the treasurer $50 which he re-
ceived from the city as rent during the
time they occupied his premises. But
they were forgotten when the funds were
distributed at the late meeting, while
young men who joined a month or so
previous to the companys entering the
paid firemens ranks, came in for their
share, and this is what rankles in the
breasts of the charter members.
