Bromley Wharton, secretary of the State Board of Public Charities, reached town last evening on periodical inspection of the state hospitals in the anthracite region.

He said at Hotel Casey last night that he had found the hospitals in the an thracite field in a very crowded condition, and that at Coaldale, Hazleton and other places, the beds were filled, and the accommodations insufficient to give the necessary relief to all applicants. He had heard, he said, of the conditions at the State hospital in this city, where the hospital authorities are handicapped by the lack of a sufficient funds, due to the fact that the legislature appropriated a smaller sum than had been recommended by the state board.

Secretary Wharton said he assumed that the local institution would be compelled to run up a deficit, but he did not know how this was to be done 'in the face of the position of Governor Brumbaugh that all state institu. tions must make the bi-ennial appropriation meet all expenses for maintenance for the perlod. Secretary Wharton and P. Silas Walter, secretary of the State hospital, will go through the hospital this morning on an inspection of the conditions, and it is likely that other institutions in this city receiving state aid may be visited.

Wharton expects to leave this afternoon for Harrisburg. SOUTH SCRANTON TENDERED RECEPTION ON WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Archbald Rommelmeyer, of Carbondale, formerly of this city, was tendered a reception last evening at the home of Mrs. Rommelmeyer's sister, Mrs.
