PREFER SCRANTON BONDS Bankers Look With More Favor'Upbn This City Than New York. The financial soundness of the'muni cipallty is illustrated "by the eagerness which the bridge bonds were bought up. This fact was more plainly brought out 4 few days ago by the inability New York city to sell bonds, which have been on the market for more than a month, and for that reason, have been recalled. During the month of May Scranton advertised $200,000 bridge bonds for sale, and four of the most prominent firms bid upon them, offering liberal premiums. The reason advanced for the sound ness of the city's financial status is Jts small bonded debt and the standing of its financial houses throughout the country.

ovur ACCUSEDSF FORGERY Directors of Kemmerer Iron and Steel Company Seriously. Charge PresU dent J. M. Kemmcrcr. PROSECUTE CBIMINALLY "With the Issuance of an injunction order by Judge Newcomb against the former president of the Kemmerer Iron and Steel company of this city, restraining him from selling or hypothecating any of its stock, comes a supplemental accusation by former members of the company against Mr.

Kemmerer which may result in charges of forgery being preferred within a few days. Just what course the directors will pursue they will not state at this time, but they are emphatic in their charges that a great forgery was committed by means of which the former president appropriated $25,000 of the company's money to his own use, and they make no effort to mince matters when they are telling the story. It was rumored about the city Saturday night that some ahake up had occurred in the administration office of the company and a rumor was current to the effect that there had been an equity proceeding of some kind instituted, but nothing could be learned at the time. Since then the real story has come out, making the equitable procedure but a mere retrenching policy on the part of. the company to protect itself from the sale or transfer of the stock to the hands of innocent purchasers.

The story of the forgery as told by the directors began several months ago when it is alleged that Mr. Kemmerer went to the foreman of the mills and procured specifications for certain machinery which was to be installed. He obtained the price of $6, 000 on one machine and specifications for an order amounting in all to $25, 000. He ordered the fnachinery from a Pittsburg company, according to the officials, and began a correspondence with them for the purpose of procuring some of their blank billheads and other paper of the office. This was done, it is said, by writing to the Pittsburg company that he admired the style and wished to have the same duplicated for their mill.

On the blank letter heads thus ob tained, it is alleged that the bills were made out to the company for $50,000 instead of $25,000. The balance of the money is alleged to have been appropriated by Mr. Kemmerer to his own use. Those transactions took place several months ago. A few days ago Mr.

Philip Robinson, president of the company, was in the mill and, pointing to the foreman, stated that $12,000 seemed a great price for one of the machines which had been bought. The foreman stated that the machine cost only $6,000, as he had drawn the specifications. Mr. Robinson remembered that the bill had been $12,000 and the matter led to an The result was a hurried meeting: of the directors Friday night and Mr. was summoned before them.

When confronted with the charge, Mr. Kemmerer is said by the directors to have admitted the double charge and defended that he always felt as though the company owed him $25,000 for organizing the concern. He was asked by Vice President Spruks if he would make good the deficiency of $25,000 and he replied that he would take advice of counsel first. He was ordered to return his $5,000 in capital stock or else suffer arrest. This he promised to do so.

Meanwhile an injun tion was obtained from Judge New comb, pending the delivery over of the stock; A reorganization of the company was at once effected. Mr. Willis Kemmerer, son of John M. Kemmerer, was succeeded as superintendent of the I company, and Mr. Spruks was elected president.

In the bill for an injunction it is stated that Kemmerer charged the company with $50,000 for the machin ery and took the difference of $25, 000 in capital stock. This is the stock which Mr. Kemmerer is said to have agreed to surrender. In addition to the charges in the foregoing the bill also sets forth that Mr. Kemmerer ob tained $25,000 worth of capital stotrr from the company in its very organiz tion by representing to it that he had paid for the property on which the mill is erected and which was bought from the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company for $25,000.

A short time ago, hen the purchase mortgage notes held by the People's bank came due, the company was asked to pay, it having assumed the payment of the purchase price of the land from Mr. Kemmerer, he having represented that he had paid the money for it. In short, the bill charges that Mr. Kemmerer obtained $50,000, partly by false pretences and forgery. The injunction rule to be argued July 9.

POPULAR CLOTHERS. Brady Walsh Succeed John Boyle at Same Location. The new clothing firm of Brady Walsh began business yesterday at 410 Lackawanna avenue, John D. Boyle's old store. They have purchased from the 'executors of the estate of the lato Mr.

To properly rearrange the stock the new owners have found it necessary to place on sale at bargain prices a large part of it. The quality cf the clothing always carried at the Boyle store is too wellknown to require description, and bright and early this morning there was a rush of thrifty men who wished avail themselves of the opportunity secure high grade cjothjng and furnishings at low grade prices. The success of the new firm is as sured if for no other reason than the large following of each of the part ners. Mr. Brady was in the employ of Boyle for eight years.

Mr. Walsh was with M. J. Horan for eleven years and Mr. Boyle three years.

SAVES DROWNING LAD; REMAINS UNKNOWN Brave Boy Jumps In After Four Year Old Youth and Effects Thrill ing Wading beyond his depth the four year old son of Otto Dolmetsch, was yesterday rescued from what appear ed almost certain death. The child' went with, several companions to a swimming hole back of the Tenth ward, near the Petersburg club house, and somehow got in the water. He sank to the bottom twice, spluttering ana gurgling, when a twelve year old boy, whose identity could not be learned yesterday, jump ed in the water and effected a thrill ing rescue, not waiting even to take, off his hat and coat.

The child was soon deposited alive on dry land and the rescuer, an un known hero, with clothes dripping wet, continued on his way. All efforts to learn the name of the life saver yesterday proved futile. KNIGHTS TEMPLARS WILL LEAVE FOR SARATOGA Accompanied by Hiss of Fireworks, Party of 110 Will eB Off For Triennial Conclave, Accompanied by the boom of the cannon cracker and the sizzle of fireworks, the party of Knights Templar from the northeastern section of Pennsylvania will leave Thursday by way of Lackawanna on their trip to the Tri ennial conclave which will be held at Saratoga Springs. One hundred and ten will make up the party. The start will be made at 8:30 o'clock in the morning, going in a special train, composed of parlor cars, smokers and baggage cars.

The trip, will last for a period of eight days, and an entertaining as well as an interesting itinerary has been arranged. The trip will include visits to Montreal, Thousand Islands, Lake George and Lake Champlain. Threo days will be spent at Saratoga. From this city the first stop will be made at Syracuse, where the party will leave the Lackawanna and go to Saratoga Springs by way of the New York Central. Each member of the party will wear a specially designed cap, and the entire delegation will be under the direct charge of R.

A. Zimmerman, George Peck, J. B. Woolsey, and District Passenger Agent Smith. One of the features of the start will be the fastening of the official city flag to the box of the engine.

The Templars will thus practically invade the enemy's soil, bearing their city's flag. Whether a compromise in the way of a flag of truce, or a complete surrender by the other fellows is a matter of uncertainty at this time. It is said on reliable authority that Scranton will accept no terms but a complete and unconditional surrenfier, and it is safe to predict that the official flag will continue to wave, even upon the arrival of the party. The souvenir exchange badges which the party will distribute at Saratoga in return for others is an innovation and is destined to be a pleasant number. The badge of the local Knights bears a very neat design of the Templars combined with the city flag.

It is of plated gold. FIRE IN LIMBER YARD CAUSES EXCITEMENT Blaze Threatened Ansley's Lumber Yard on the West Side Early This Morning.
