SIMPSON & WATKINS BACK OF IT
Said to Be Nothing in Building the

After Completion What Railroad
Men Say.
Tho Wilkes narre'fltnss last evening
said that J. li. Kerr, ettorney for tile
Ontario and Western railroad, la an
lliMiits for the statement that Simpson
vVaikini, f Bdranton, who have lat
terly been iiushing their 001 1 interests
iu various aectious of the unthracite
region, ere back of the Lackawanna,
Catskill Mountain and Huston railroad,
the building of which Is only delayed
file meeting wae opened with a long i by the neueaaitv of aecuriug certain
light or way. Mr Kerr n statement ih
verified by a prominent olticial of the
Delaware and Hudson railway, who
aid to a reporter:
"Blmpion Jc Walkiu ar t the promo
ters of tho HOiieme. They are large
shippers, probably ranking ueit to
Col s lirothers a producers of uutnra
olte. At present the Ontario and
Western and Kris handle Simmon &
Watklns' tonnage, whioh amounts lo
probably 500,000 ton annually, Ttiey
OanUOt handle it for any less money
than they are getting out of it now,
so that really there would bj liothLjg
iu bull hug the road with hu eye to
prolit afterwards, us a greater part ot
the route is ulready traversed by exist
ing rosde,
lint the road is likely to be built nil
the lame, and Simpson A. Wutkin will
be the construction company. That
where the money will be male. They
are shrewd managers, and may be able
to get lomi railroad to guarantee the
interest on the bonds necessary to
build the iod. if they can show that
the local trafjlo it likely to be large
which point they are making mUOO of
at present. After the road is built I
think it will bo for sale.
The local trallic between Uelhi and
Walton will be split in two, tue bigger
half going to the Uuturio and Western.
From Delhi to where tho new road
would cross the I'lster and Uslaware
the new load would have u good local
trallic. From lJ'posit, which is di
rectly north of the northern limit of
the northern limit of the Lackawanna
anthracite coal field, about forty
mile the new road would get a con
neclion with me Brie, from Whfob
it could get its tonnage over the
Erie's detferson branch und at
Walton it could tap ths Lacka
wanna Valley over the Ontario
and Western's Seranton division by a
haul of sixty miles. Tbe officers of the
Laekawauno, Catskill Mountain an I
Uoaton railroad say they are prepared
to build an independent line from De
posit to Seranton, a distance of about
fifty miles. For tbirtv miles of this
service, led by i.ieuleuitut Owen, a
young lady with a mirVllOUlly HWeel
soprano voice.
Miss Cox, when introduced by Kev.
N F. Stab, said she wished her
audience to understand that on what
ever line she spoke there was an uu
derlylng motive, that of th power of
JeiUI Cbrlat. "The Salvation Army,"
she Hiii.l, "Is composed of simple pea
plo who believe In preotioal Christi
anity. They are u people that dare be
lo ve in the power of U I. They are
not a college educated eel of peuplo.
and their mlniateri are graduit only
of tbe Salvation Army training school.
UABTTttfl NCI' bKAii et.
"The Salvationist believe no mini
or woman I beyond the power of Jesus
Christ, no matter how they low they
may have fallen It is the same power
that deans) I the physical lop -re years
ago, ami it willcleaiiH the moral lep
era of today. The martyrs are not all
dead yet or in beavun either. There is
devotion on tins esrth uud 1 like to see
i I have travelled through
Holland, Belgium, Switzerland mid
France, and iu Switzerland saw
tbe castle on Like Oeneva where
a young Salvation Army lass
was Imprisoned for 1 00 days because
she taught Christianity, and this Wai
only three years ago' This was a
modern martyr, l also had tho prlvl
lego of spending some time in tbe work

as you think. 1 duu't think tiie East
Indians are heathens It Is true that
they bow down and worship idols, but
they ure not the only peopla who do
this.
.man LOVgS MONEY.
"There is many a man in Seranton
who i an Idolatof. There is many a
man who bows down and worships bis
gold and silver. When the Lord weighs
us in the balance do you think that the
idolatry of the simple people will weigh
down our idolatry of money?
"When the Salvationists went to
India tirst they decided that in order to
meet the people on a level they must
do as the people did. Sj they walked
on the hot bauds iu their bare toet, ate
the food of the country and ilispeusod
with their buds, sleeping on u tnnt
spread on the Hour. in this
way thay made many small personal
sncrilic-.-s and were amply rewarded by
having many converts. This is the
same in thcHlum work iu the big cities.
Many are the sacrifice! made that are
never known."
A good tiled collection to nid the
work of the slum brigade in tho large
cities of the I'nited States was taken

The character of the printing re
iiuired was o complicated that no of
QOC in the city could turn out the work
in the short ) ice of time that yet re
mains, so tne contract was divided
equally between the job offices of
