TIXXEL OR A VIADUCT.'
That Is the Only Way Dclnware and Hud
son Company Will Consent to Traction
Company Passing Its Tracks at Mooslc
The Scranton and Plttston Traction
company has an obstacle in its path
down the valley that sizes up to a mat
ter that the courts will be called upon
to decide. The company Is building a
line of electric road to Pfltston, and
along the route the trolley road will
have to cross the main tracks of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company.
The electric road is now built to the
Luzerne county line, the poles and
wires are put up and the road Is ready
for passage except that two crossings
are not put In, one at the Mooslc depot
and the other a half mile further down
the road at Stark's Patch.
Dclawaio and Hudson Oblcot.
These crossings would be in place
now if the Delaware and Hudson of
ficials were willing to allaow it, but
they are not, and there comes the trou
ble. Mr. Amerman. president of the
Traction company, is out of town and
could not be seen. General Manager J.
K. Beetem, of the Scranton Traction
company, was Interviewed and he stat
ed that Ills company has nothing to do
with the corporation building the road
other than as lessees of the road when it
is constructed. He drove over the road
yesterday afternoon nnd expects to run
a car for a trial trip today if the cross
ings are In. ' '
Superintendent C. It. Manvllle, of the
Delaware and Hudson, was asked what
the difficulty amounted to. What he
said is of special consequence and will
seriously Interfere with the extension
of the road. He said that the railroad
company was not willing to grant the
Traction company the privilege of
crossing their tracks at grade, and no
permission would be given until the
electric company consents to tunnel
the crossing or build a' viaduct. One
of these propositions must be complied
with. The courts may, if the matter is
carried there, rule that the railroad
company cannot exact that much from
the electric company, but if such a rul
ing Is made, the Delaware and Hudson
officials shall be willing to live up to It.
Reasons for Attldude.
Mr. Manvllle gave the following rea
sons for opposing grade crossings:
There is too much danger In this age of
activity to passengers on both the rail
road trains and the street cars. , Public
opinion has long ago condemned grade
crossings and the frequent causalties
that happen would not occur if via
ducts were employed to crosB tracks.
It is not alone at crossings where a
street car track Intersects steam rail
road track, but the danger is even
greater where two steam railroads
cross each other.
Mr. Manvllle was asked If the com
pany would accept nothing less thun
either a viaduct or a tunnel, and he
said positively that such is the alterna
tive. From the position of the Delaware
and Hudson It appears as if the open.
Ing of the Greenwood extension Is a
fact that the dim, distant future will be
called upon to deal with. Mr. Man
vllle wild that the question of competi
tion did not enter into the case at all.
The question of safety to the traveling
public he asserts, is paramount to a
pecuniary consideration.
ENERGY OF SCRANTONIANS.
More Money Being Used to Develop
Schuylkill County Coal Lands.
A party of Scranton capitalists, who
have considerable money backing, have
purchased coal lands in the western
part of Schuylkill county and formed a
company to be known as the "East
Ridge Coal Company." The lands they
have secured the title to are the Brock,
or Mine Hill tract In addition to this
purchase they have leased the adjoin
ing tract. The land comprises about
27S acres and Is underlaid by a number
of rich coal veins. '
The East Ridge Coal company was
granted a charter about three weeks
ago and already have commenced ela
borate preparations for the develop
ment of the land. A breaker, which
will cost about $25,000, is now being
erected and a slope is also being sunk.
The breaker will be a big one and will
have a capacity of between 400 and 500
tons per day. The, company paid $50,000
for their tract and by the time they
have finished their Improvements will
have expended about $100,000. Among
the narttes at the head of the company
are Messrs. Ifarvey and Howell, of
Scranton, and p. J. Courtney, or Ann
ersvllle. Wllkes-Barre Record.

Purchase of a Tent.
Comrade E. W. Pearce advocated the
purchase of a tent to be used as head
puarters at the different re-unions, and
suggested that information relating to
the association be Inscribed thereon so
that the rising generation would have
an opportunity of learning the history
oi xne union prisoners. The suggestion
was heartily approved of, and the fol
lowing were appointed a committee to
carry out the matter: Captain Pearce,
iumraaes Armstrong, rarsons, Harri
son and Lathrop.
C. B. Metzgar reported unon the na.
tional convention held at Pittsburg and
described It at the driest upon record.
Reminiscences were given by many
oi tne ex-prisoners, and Rev. S. C.
Logan suggested that the association
should consider the question of tracing
the names of the prisoners whose lives
were not perpetuated on any tomb
stone. He had assisted in forming a
regiment which absorbed all the male
members of his choir at the time, and
it was a source of grief to him that he
could not find a trace of their death
upon the battlefield - of Gettysburg.
xne cumcuity or this course was, how
ever, demonstrated by Mr. Campbell,
wno stated tnat John E. Kelly, of Com
pany C, of the Nineteenth Pennsylvn-
nla regiment, while' in action left his
canteen with a dyibg comrade, who
was subsequently burled under the
name of John E. Kellyi the name found
on the canteen. Mr. Kelly is still alive
and decorates the grave under his own
name each Decoration Day.
Banpuet at Hanlcy's.
At 6 o'clock the ex-prlsoners and their
wives and daughters sat down to a
banquet at Hanley's dining room.
where a fine repast was served. After
the bill of fare had been subdued, Hal
sey Lathrop, president of the associa
tion, delivered what was down on the
programme as "The President's Mes
sage.' He congratulated his comrades
upon meeting once more, and trusted
that, although tile most of them had
passed the half-way mile stone of life.
they would meet for many years to
come. Mr. Lathrop amused his audi
ence with humorous allusions to the ex
pertences of the members.
The Richmond, Welsenflue and Wld
mayer party gave a splendid rendition
of "Der Kallf von Bagdad," and were
followed by Rev. 8. C. Logan. D. P..
who spoke upon "The Blue and Gray,
with the Black Between." , The blue
and grey had made a chapter In the his
tory of the world, but they only re-
peated thus history of the world since
the days of Nebuchadnezar to the
present time. The Issue raised between
the two was the black, but it was
deeper than complexion or race, the
true issue being liberty and real man
hood upon earth.
Marks, the Renegade.
Comrade N. S. Harrison gave a few
reasons explaining why anti-fat reme
dies were not popular In Andersonvllle.
P. H. Campbell, of Wllkes-Barre, gave
a brief sketch of the life of "Sergeant
Marks, the Renegade." Marks was re
ported to be still alive and Mr. Camp
bell's acqualtance was compulsory,
Marks enlisted in a Massachusetts regi
ment, and after receiving punishment for
a minor offense he escaped over the
lines and subsequently turned up as a
confederate officer at Belle Island.
where the speaker saw him. Marks
was well known as a cruel and brutal
officer, especially to his former com
rades. Mr. Campbell related many hor
rible Incidents which occurred while
he was a prisoner at Belle Island and
were Instigated, -,or 'carried out, by
Marks. '
Captain E. W. Pearce spoke upon his
holidays In the confederacy and enter
tained his dearers for some time upon
this interesting subject Mr. Pearce
was very graphic in his description of
nis holidays when the confederates
were chary in giving out rations, and
described where the thousands of his
comrades had periBhed from starvation
and were thrown into the trenches.
J. E. Barrett, of the Truth, read an
original poem entitled, "The Unknown
Soldiers Monument, which was highly
applauded. Mr. Barrett gave a splen
did reading of his poem, which was most
highly commended and praised by the
ex-prisoners, by whom the sentiments
expressed were peculiarly acceptable.
Mr. Barrett Thanked.
Colonel Ripple said he did not think
a round of applause was sufficient ex
pression of the thanks of the associa
tion for the noble poem, and suggested
that they should give a standing vote
of thanks, which was done and re
sponded to by Mr. Barrett. Miss Susan
Dickenson gave a splendid address
upon "Some Memories and Meanings of
the War, and dwelt on the barriers
which were broken down as the result
of the war.
Rev. N. F. Stahl, of Green Ridge,
gave a spirited address on "The Old
Soldier, Is He a Back Number." The
remarks of the chairman In connection
with "Sergeant Marks" reminded him
of the Irishman who was beating a
dead dog to prove to the dead brute,
that there was punishment after death,
and such seemed to him to be the
sentiments of the chairman. He would
not conceive the question being asked
In sober earnestness. Go today from
Maine to California and everywhere in
church and state, in medical, theologi
cal, agricultural, commercial circles
will the old soldier be found, he who
had given his services for his country.
The old soldier would never be an old
number, as he was made of the wrong
stuff. He would never be an old nunv
ber, as the country yet needed his ser
vice, and would cherish his memory
long after he had gone to his rest
Wards of the State.
J. M. Clark, president of the Harford
Soldier Orphan s home, gave a power
ful address on the "Wards of the
State, the Soldier's Orphan," and said
that Pennsylvania had sent more na
tive born citizens to the war than other
state in the union. Out of 14,000 or
phans of these soldiers who had been
educated in the orphanage schools, but
two had been convicted of crime. The
best way to prevent crime was to pre
vent the making of criminals, and he
had no doubt whatever that education
was the best course to adopt. Colonel
Ripple had taken a deep Interest In the
schools and he desired to record his
high esteem of the colonel who had
spent his money lavishly in furthering
the work, having given as much as
$130 In one sum to buy boooks for the
children. Mr. Clark has been mannger
and owner of the Harvard school for
eight years, and .gave several interest
ing statistics, among which he men
tioned that there was only one death in
two years, although there was an aver
age attendance of 200 children. Fif
teen thousand children had been edu
cated In the orphanages of Pensylva
nla, and at present there were 810
children In the three schools and $1,0,
000,000 had been applied by the legisla
ture for the purpose.
Many people asked himself and Col
onel Ripple how it came that there
were so many orphans at the present
time, thirty years after the war, and
it was advisable that it should be wide
ly known that the children of soldiers
who had been honorably discharged
were taken care of in cases where the
fathers were unable to do so.
A. J. Colborn was eagerly listened to
In his address on "Snap Shots." The old
soldier, he said, had. been m the past
the snap shot, and such were they in
the days when the country was in the
throes of rebellion, . wnen treason
showed Its bloody front nnd Insulted
the old flag, they were "open shots"
and "snap shots."
Miss Susan Dickinson and A. J. Col
born, jr., were elected honorary mem
bers by acclamation. At the conclu
sion of the programme the memory of
departed friends andrabsent members
was observed by drinking a toast In
solemn silence.
