I (Continued from Page One) Barre. However, this is not the view taken here, and in fact the indications are that the control of the Delaware and Eastern is more likely to pass into the hands of the Ontario Western, and that instead ot extending the Delaware and Eastern to Wilkes Barre the connection will toe made over the Ontario and Western and the Lehigh Valley at the Sibley. This is regarded as the logical solution of this problem instead of the development of the Delaware and Eastern as a separate road. The Delaware Eastern now runs through a rich farming country in the Delaware valley in New xorK staie, from Arkvllle, N. to East Branch, connecting with the O.

W. on the south and the Ulster and Delaware on the ncrth. The plan was to go on to Schenectady on the north ana to extend a line south through Wayne county and through the Spring Brook valley In this county on to a point near Wilkes Barre. Searine Co. of New Tork, promoted the project.

iScranton people were in terested in the road as bondnoioers, over 3200,000 being held here. The last payment of interest on the Donas was in default but since then some or tne interest has been paid. The head of the banking house promoting the road has been in Europe for some time ana tne story In connection with the sale of these bonds may have followed from his visit there. As pointed out, however, the indications are more likely that the Dela ware and Eastern will pass Into the hands of the O. W.

and the con nectlon between the Pennsylvania and New England points will be made over that road. The chief engineer of the O. At W. from Middletown, N. went over the proposed extension to the Sibley yes terday with a well known local con tractor.

The press dispatch about the pur chase of bonds of the Delaware and Eastern Is as follows: New York, July 10. Anouncement was made last night that English capitalists have purchased 33,500,000 of bonds of the Delaware and East ern railroad, the proceeds of which will be used for extension, trebling the road's present mileage and giving it connection with five Important lines on the north and Tuth. The road at present extends through the Delaware valley from Arkville, X. to East Branch, connecting with the New York, Ontario and Western on the south side and the Ulster and Delaware on the north. A 'latter extension la projected on the south of Wllkos Uarre, making vnnnectlon with the Lackawanna, the Lehigh Valley and the Pennsylvania.

With the completion of this line, the Delaware and Eastern will reach every trunk line of importance In the East. DEATH TODAY OF BOY CELEBRAT0R OF JULY FOURTH Bpeal to The Truth. irbondale, July 10.
