bish op elect of the new diocese of Altoona, yesterday received from Rome the apostolic brief defining the boundaries of his see. The counties It comprises are Bed ford, Blair. Cambria, Huntingdon and Somerset now In the Pittsburg dio cese, and Center, Clinton and Fulton, now in the Harrlsburg diocese. It was unofficially reported previous ly that Westmoreland. Fayette and Indiana counties would be a part of the new diocese, but the official brief proves this to have been erroneous.

Bishop elect Garvey will be conse crated Sunday, Sept. 8, the Feast ot the Nativity, at St. Peter's cathedral. The consecrating bishop will be Cardinal Martinelli, the papal delegate. He will be assusted by Bishop Hoban.

of the Scranton diocese, and Bishop Phelan, of the Pittsburg diocese. The consecration Bermon will he preached by Rev. Charley Kelly, S. formerly of Towanda. Invitations to the consecration cer emonies arc to be extended to all the dignitaries of tbe church in this prov ince.

and It expected that at least a dozen bishops will be In attendance. The appointment of a successor to ulonslgnor Garvey as rector ot St John's church, Pittston. will not be made. Bishop Hoban said, yesterday. until after tho consecration.

It was stated by Bishop Hoban yes terday that he has given notice that the rectorship of Pittston parish does not necessarily carry with It the vicar generalship, and that the next rector of St John's will not be a vlcar gen eral. It Is quite likely that the vlcar gencralship resigned by Monsignor Harvey will fall to a priest who will have his station In the cathedral. Smoke Spana Cuba, Be.

No move has been made lately to ward fluishing the work of Improving the sidewalks around the triangular park plot at the corner of Wyoming and Delaware avenues.

SUGGESTION FOR TODAY. '4' to Enforce the Lew Against Welkins on Railway Tracks. xmJlwmy track is private property, and people keve no more legal right to make use of It than they have to enter a nan's private grounds Rail erajr companies are well aware ot this fact. aa4 at stated Intervals along ot early every railroad are notices warn lug people not to walk on the tracks, penalty of the law. The warn Ins la not heeded, however, for the reason that the law Is rarely.

If ever, enforced against track walkers. What Is the result? Every day in the year some thoughtless Individual Is caught unawares on the track by the locomo tive and hurled Into eternity without a. moment's warning. In nine cases out sot ten, the victim is himself to blame, for the reason that he has no business or right on the track. However, since people will persist in using railway tracks as short cut paths and seeni Jngly place so little value on their the only thing to be done Is to enforce the law against trespassing on the railways.

A few arrests would Jm sufficient to put an end to the dan gerous practice. Let's have an end of track walking. It Is a crime to itermil thoughtless people to sacrilice their lives on the railways, as they have been doing hereabout during the past few weeks.

Station Agent Wilcox, of the Junction, is given pretty big job under the new order of things, it devolving on blm to pay all of the hands whose time Is turned in by the foreman at Coxton. This In cludes not only the employes in the shops but also the trainmen, the total number receiving their, pay through Mr.

Wilcox being about 800. Four section crews also receive their checks from him. TheBe figures fur nish some Idea of the value of the Lehigh Valley railroad to this com munlty. All told, probably close on thousand men and boys In this com munity are employed in the various branches of the railway service. The building of the Mountain Cut Off line was a good thing for Pittston, since It makes Coxton the headquarters for so many of the crews which run be tween that point and Packerton.

Plttstonians have long cherished the hope that some day the Lehigh Val ley Company would build extensive shops at Coxton and make it the head quarters for the officers of the Wyom ing division. If this were done, it would add still more to the value of the railroad's business to this com munlty. As it is, Pittston Is greatly benefited by the money which the com pany disburses In wages here each month. The Coxton employes receiv ed their pay checks today. RUN DOWN BY TROLLEY.
