Needed Improvement to be Made at City An elevator will be installed in the Municipal building in the course of two or three weeks. The shaft was made when the building was constructed and all is in readiness for the carriage.

Annually for the past nine years the estimate committees have tried to have the item for an elevator inserted but councils refused to conctir in the action until this year. The bond or (finance recently passed by councils furnishes $3,500 for this work, and Director Roche proposes to have the elevator installed without delay as its need is felt. FOR A DOUBLE TRACK. Statement Issued by President of Ontario Western. Thomas I'.

Fowler, president of the New York, Ontario Western Railway company made the following statement: "Last week I concluded a very careful Inspection ot our main line and branches. Our traffic has grown to such prooprtlon that the annual average gross earnings now exceed $12,000 per mile. Excluding branches, we are earning on that part of the lino between Cadosia (our junction point with the Scranton branch) and Cornwall not far from $23,000 per mile. These earnings are about the limit that can be taken care of on a single track, even with ample side and passing tracks. "At a meeting of the officials of the company, held nt Middletown on Tuesday last, it was decided to recommend to the board that the 107 miles of main line be.

tween Cadosia and Cornwall be double tracked, and that the work be undertaken immediately. There are two ways of caring for the cost of this improvement. One would be to sell bonds and the other the application of net earnings to that object. I am in favor of doing tho work gradually say within three or four years double tracking In the first instance tho most congested points and using net earnings for the purpose. "The cost would amount to nearly $15, 000 per mile of road, requiring nboiit 600,000 to complete the work.

Five hundred thousand dollars a year for three years would pay for it. In that way, I believe, we can complete the improvement without selling a bond or borrowing a dollar." Broken Hearted Women.

J. Quick, D0D Luckft. Ave. A BIG DEAL IS THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1902. Rapid Transit Company Takes Possession Steel Mill Property for Which it Pays $196,950 Plans Announced by Promoters of New Road.

The deal for the purchase of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company's property by the Rapid Transit company was consummated in this' city yesterday. Air the land owned by the. company above Mattes street is bought. Ths consideration is just $190,930. The deed was filed yesterday afternoon with Recorder of Deeds Bonn at 4:45 o'clock.

It is made out to the Security and Improvement company, which is a subsidiary corporation ot the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit company. For the Lack a wanna Iron and Steel company it bears the names of Walter Scranton and J. P. Hlgginson. president and secretary respectively of the company, For the Security and Improvement company are the officers of the Rapid Transit company.

The deed has reve nue stamps to the value of $97.23. The deed is said to be the largest ever recorded in Lackawanna county. The land was paid for in cash, and the deed is absolutely free from any mortgages of encumbrances. The consideration named in the deed is not the figure originally agreed upon as the value of the property, the differ. ence between the original figure and the consideration of transfer is in the neighborhood of $100,000.

The difference represents the value of the coal, for which the L. I. S. company Ssu'd not give title, the Scranton Coal company, which had it under lease, having refused to re lease it. The plot of land consists of just 93.43 acres.

It extends from Mattes street, extending to and includingthe tract known as the "cinder dump" from the old ore roaster along the Erie Wyoming tracks. It has been announced that the property would be used for the Scranton terminal of the Lackawanna Wyoming Valley Rap ia Transit company. This company proposes to build a railway from Wilkes Barre to Carbondale via Scranton. On this plot, the purchase of which was completed yesterday, it is pro posed to erect a depot, freight station, shops, yards and other terminal facilities. It is also understood that the Westinghouse Electrical and Construc tion company will erect thereon suitable buildings to make this point the proving ground for their electrical appliances, by which they hope to make elec tricity supercede steam as the motive power of the railroad.

Factories for the manufacture of the necessary electrical equipment, it is understood, are to be built. The furnaces and buildings of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company have been razed. AVorkmen are now engaged on the preliminary work of the terminal. Test pits have been sunk and the grading of the cinderJ The roadbed between Wilkes Barre and Pittston is now in course of construction. The company has been very secretive in the matter of disclosing the line which the road will follow, but it is understood that work on the Wilkes Barre division has proceeded so far that the right of way can be given publicity in the course of three or four days.

In a general way the route from Pittston to this city is known, but how the road will get to Carbondale is one of the many unsolved questions in connection with the Rapid Transit company's plans. Just how the road is to reach this city is also not known. First it was announced that hrough abandoned You Can Live and five WELL COURSEN'S. if you buy at Our Jersey eggs, better be cause larger, 18c per doz. Coursen's extra sugar cured hams, 14c per lb.

LI "Economy is a Virtue" I ii CONSUMMATED of mine workings the road would cross from South Scranton under the Lackawanna tracks to a point at the corner of Lackawanna and Adams avenues. The company had options on properties in this vicinity but allowed them to expire. The company also hoped to get Into the central city by erecting a depot at Piatt place, but the option on this property, too, was allowed to expire. So now the question of how and where they will land here is still unsolved and representatives of the company, when questioned about it, declare that matters are In such an unsettled state that they do not know themselves. FLEITZ HEARD FROM.

The following Harrisburg dispatch in yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer is a refreshing bit of news here at home. This is a sample of the stuff the Elkin boom is made of: Deputy Attorney General Fleitz arrived at the department this morning from Scranton, and when asked if Watres will hold the Lackawanna delegation, despite the fact that Congressman Connell says that he will only get them on the first ballot, said that if the delegates were to be elected today Mr. Elkin would carry tne county by a large majority. A SUDDEN DEATH. While Talking to a Neighbor An Old Employe of the Lackawanna Road.

Last evening, shortly before 7 o'clock, Joseph W. Elmwood, of 828 Pittston avenue, dropped dead near his home. Deceased was in good health and was talking to a neighbor shortly before he expired. Coroner Saltry was notified and he decided that death was due to heart failure. Elmwood was 65 years old and for 40 years a resi dent of this city, during which time he has been employed by the L.

W. railroad as car inspector. He was widely known throughout the valley and his death will come as a shock to his many friends. He is survived by four children, the Misses Mattie and Jennie and Messrs. Joseph and George.

He was also an active member of the Foresters lodge, in which body he had held several differ ent offices. The funeral announcement will be made later. STRIKE A FAILURE. Mine Workers Admit They Have Not Succeeded Down the Valley. Burning Mine Will Be Saved.

Forty emergency men have been se cured by the Lackawanna comcanv to fight the fire in the Jersey mine. and the mine workers admit that the strike has not been a success. The following dispatch was received last night: Wilkes Barre. ADril lfi. TIip strik ing mine Workers at the Woodward.

Feldt had done this but it was in Hebrew and the police were non puised. reiat was arrested and arralirnpd before Aldermun Millar last night, but as a translation of the entry had not been received the names of the thief couia not be ascertained. Feldt, how ever, was held in $800 bnil upon the cnarge named, and the police will now appoint an official translator. POLICE TO BE CALLED. No More Burlesquo in Common Council Chamber.

The members of the Scranton base ball team are beginning to arrive. Tha first two to put in their appearance are Roger Gorton, the centre fielder, and Charles Jackson, the short stop, who came yesterday. Today nearly all the members of the team are expected to put in an appearance. The ERNEST SCHMALTZ. boys will begin practice this afternoon, but the first exhibition game occur on Saturday, when the Scrantons will meet the Pittston Brothers team.

From that time on up to the hour of the opening of the season there wilt be a regular series of exhibition contests. Roger Gorton will one of tho three veterans that Manager Lawson will have on his team. He has been playing professional ball for seven seasons, although in appearance he is very 'youthful. He bats at about a 180 clip, and as a fielder and base runner, as well as a run getter, is said to be one of the fastest men in the business. Manager Lawson considers himself fortunate in being able to secure so clever a man as Gorton.

The latter is a printer by trade and a native of Corning, New York. He played his first professional year with the Kalamazoo. team and on the lololwlng year' he" went "to Birmingham, Ala. The next year he went to Mansfield, Ohio, and the following year he was with tha Kalamazoo, team again. The next season found him with the Ontario, Canada, team, and then he went with Lawson's team at Anderson, Indiana.

After that he played with the Peoria and Toledo teams, finally signing with Mr. Law son to come to Scranton. He is tall and well built, of good appearance and a man of considerable intelligence. This will be Johnson's second year as a professional. He is 22 years of age and looks younger than that.

He has no doubt of his ability to do well with Scranton. Last season, while with the Waterloo, Canada, team in. the Canadian League, he had a batting average of 408 and a fielding average of 984. Previous to last year he played with a semi professional team at Medina, Ohio. Though he has a number of twirlers on his list, Manager Lawson is negoti auug wnn ai leasi one more, a man named Stark, who was last year with the Lockport independent team.

He Is strongly recommended by Johnson. There will be a good sized delegation from Pittston at the game with the Pittston Brothers team on Saturday afternoon. They will be attracted by the fact that Manager Lawson's first baseman, Schmaltz, was with the Pittston nine last year and was re garded as the best player on the team. tie Is well recommended and prove to be a phenomenon. may His Thumb Blown Off.

SWEET BREATH When Coffee is Left Off. A test was made to find if just the leaving off of coffee alone would pro auce an equal condition of health as when coffee Is left off and Postum Food Coffee used In its place. A man from Clinton, made the experiment.

He says, "About a year ago I left off drinking coffee and tea and began to use Postum. For several years previous my system had been in wretched condition. I always had a thickly furred, bilious tongue and foul breath often accompanied with Severe headaches. T. was troubled all the time with chronic constipation so that was morose in disposition and almost discouraged.

At tho end of the first week after making the change from coffee to Postum I witnessed a marvelous change myself. My once coated tongue cleared off, my small appetite increased, breath became sweet and the head aches ceased entirely. One thin 1 wish to state emphatically, you have Postum a virgin remedy for constipation, for I certainly had about the worst case ever known among mortals and I am completely cured of It. I feel, in every like a new person. During the last summer I concluded that I would experiment to see If the Postum kept me in good shape or whether I had gotten well from Just leaving off coffee.

So I quit Postum quite a time and drank cocoa and water. I found out, before two weeks were past, that something was wromr and I began to get costive as of old. was evident the liver was not working properly, so I became convinced was not the avoidance of coffee alone that cured me but the great value came from tho regular use of Postum." of CONFERENCE OPENS A Marvelous Story of the Progress of Uethodisui in a Half Centurj. Local Reminiscences. SERVICES FOR THE DEAD Special to The Republican.

WAVERLY, N. April 16. With this session the Wyoming conference completes the 50th year of its history, It was organized out of the territory of the old Oneida conference at Car bondale on the 7th of July, 1852, Levi Scott being the presiding bishop. Nelson Rounds was elected its first secretary and Henry Brownscombe was appointed assistant secretary. Names which are as ointment poured forth are found among its charter members, among whom are named Fitch Reed, Zachariah Paddock and D.

A. Shepard, who were presiding elders; J. M. Snyder, King Elwell, George Peck and others, whose influence has done much to shape the moral and Christian character of this whole region. Strange as it may seem the name "Scranton" does not appear as one of the appointments.

However, H. Brownscombe was appointed as pastor of the church at Providence. Geo. Peck was appointed to Wilkes Barre, G. M.

Peck to Pittston and R. Nelson as principal of Wyoming seminary. Providence then paid $357 for pastor's salary and estimated its parsonage at $50 rental. There were reported 120 members and 15 probationers. A COMPARISON.

There were then only three presiding elders' districts. These were known as Newark, Susquehanna and Wyoming. The entire, number of charges was but 58. There were in the entire conference but 32 parsonages, valued at $22,650, and having only $730 worth of furniture. The membership of all the churches was but 12,700, including 2,015 probationers.

Last year there were 217 charges, having 200 parsonages valued at more than $400,000, while there is a number of single parsonages which contain more furniture than belonged in all the parsonages of the entire conference at its organization. But even more marvelous than this has been the increase in membership. Last year we numbered 42,434, exclusive of 4,130 probationers. These figures will doubtless be considerably increased by the results of the labors of the year just closing. The temperance anniversary was held on Tuesday evening.

The address was given by the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Crane, of Boston, who has just been appointed pastor of the great church known as "the People's church." His address was sparkling with wit and humor while it bristled with the shafts of keenest logic. His theme was "The Greatest American Fraud." This he claimed was the American license system.

He branded it as a commercial, a political and a moral fraud. He held the close attention of the full house for more than an hour and a half. This morning the regular session of tne conference opened at 9 o'clock with Bishop Stephen M. Merrill in the chair. After the opening devotions the administration of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was directed by the bishop, while the elements were distributed by the Revs.

J. C. Leacock, J. B. Sumner, Thomas Harroun and L.

Race. The business of the conference was then taken up. The calling of the roll revealed the fact that nearly ail of the effective members of the body were present. John B. Sweet, D.

was re elected secretary by acclamation; also In the same manner C. M. Surdam was re elected treasurer. Much routine work was accomplished. At 1:30 p.

m. the statistical session was held, at which time the pastors placed their reports in the hands of the proper officers so that they may reach the church through the statistical tables published in the minutes of the conference. Following this session H. H. Wilbur, of Tunkhannock, preached the annual conference mis sionary sermon.

At 3:30 p. m. the I memorial service as held for the ministers' wives who have died during the past year. The pastors who have "passed into the beyond" during the year just closing are: Samuel M. Stone, who joined the conference in 1847; Philip Hol brook, a member since 1856; Richard Hiorns, who united with the conference in 1867; and William Edgar, who had been in the work since 1878.

These last two were well known in Scranton and the valley and will be greutly missed. Several of the older members of the conference are present who have not been able to be present In a few recent years, and some others are revealing the advancing years. The day before the first session of the conference is always given to the examination of the younger preachers who are yet In course of completing tho four years, course of study in theology required by the authorities of the church, and the preliminary ex amination of those who purpose to enter the work of the ministry within the bounds of the conference. All can didates also for local deacons or lo cal eiders' orders must present themselves before the proper committees mat their educational and theolmrWi fitness may thus be shown to be satisfactory. This makes it a dav of se vere labor and often of mental stress.

The various classes this year are scarcely up to the average in point of numbers. WELL KNOWN FACES. Among those already arrived are to be seen Rev. M. S.

Hard, D. as sistant secretary of the board of church extension; also the Rev. Charles Lane Rice, one of the oldest members of this conference now living. Mr. Rice Is one of two of those yet living who helped in the organization of the conference at Carbondale In 1852.

The other living charter member Is (he Rev. George W. Leach, of Oakland, Susquehanna county, whose health will not permit him to be present at this session. The people of Waverly are very hos pitable. The weather has been exceed ingly pleasant and all the prospects are favorable for a pleasant session.

Telegraphers of the Jersey Central railroad are now discussing a strike and claim that it will come unless their troubles are amicably arranged. They state that the order compelling the men to leave the order of Railway Telegraphers must be rescinded and that John Nelllgan, the discharged chairman of their grievance committee, must be reinstated.

These terms will be insisted upon, they declare, before theMrouble can be adjusted. THATCHER THRASHED BY THE BOARDER A Remarkable Case Heard by Alderman Millar Failed to Persuade Ophelia to Live With Owen. A remarkable case was heard before Magistrate Millar last night in which Owen Thatcher was arraigned at the instance of his wife, Ophelia Thatcher, for threatening to kill, while Thatcher had his wife's boarder, Phil Albert, arrrested for assault and battery, threatening to kill and carrying concealed weapons. The parties to the suit live on South Washington avenue and Thatcher and his wife separated about three years ago. She claims that his conduct was brutal and that was always drunk.

Thatcher gives another version. Some time ago Albert went to board with Mrs. Thatcher and this evidently in censed the husband. On Monday he went to the shop where Albert is employed and sent a message that some one wanted to see him on a matter of vital importance. Albert responded with alacrity and his disgust was immeasurable when he saw that the "vital importance" man was Thatcher.

He was not only disappointed but felt that he had a grievance. When Thatcher made some accusations in which his wife was involved Albert, who is a strong built young man, immediately went for Thatcher, who wondered what had struck him. He rejoiced in a couple of black eyes and the pummelling was one he will never forget. Thatcher then went before the alderman and swore out a warrant for Albert's arrest. Mrs.

Thatcher made reprisals by swearing out a warrant for her husband's arrest for threaten ing to kill. All the parties were in court last night and the alderman, at the outset, made an effort to recon cillate husband and wife by saying: Now, Ophelia, don't you think that you and Owen can make up?" 'Never, sir," she replied; "live with a man who said he'd stick me to the heart? I'll never live with him while SPECIAL TODAY. CALIFORNIA PEARS, Large Can, 10c.

There was at once a lively recrlm lnation. the alderman leaving the two to fight it out for a few minutes in the hope that the silver lining in the matrimonial cloud would peep out.

It didn't, and finally Magistrate Millar gave aome salutary advice all around. He pointed out to Thatcher that It would be safer for him to change his boarding house until Mrs. Thatcher waa divorced, and that It would be safer for Thatcher to keep sober and remain away from his wife. "If you don't stop this nonsense," he concluded, "it will end In murder." Thatcher and Albert were both held in $300 bail for their appearance In court. A Special Bargain 25 doz.
