Carbondal to indeed booming, and
tha words of akeptlctam of certain peo
ple ajre no longer believed. One need
but to -walk about the city and aee the
many flue buildings which have been
or will shortly be erected to believe
these words. The w Delaware and
Hudson depot, .probably, will bo further
to assert this than any thing eloe. Rail
road companies are nut prone to invest
their money in new depots where there
is little traffic, and the fact that Car
bondale is to have a new depot is encouraging-
to our people. Already the
first tier of brick work has been fin
ished and the work will be pushed along
as rapidly as possible.
The material used Is of the best qual
ity obtainable. A little delay was
caused by a change in the original
plans. The baggage room was to have
been put on the north side, but It was
thought that It would 'be more desirable
on the south. A plan of the building as
finished has been placed In the drug
store of F. K. Dennis, and a great many
people stop and admire It. Carbondale
people should congratulate themselves
on the prospect of such a fine building.

SATURDAY'S BALL GAME.

Z . , " Sooreof 8 to.
Dark clouds began to overcast the
sky a little before noon and the base
ball cranks were feeling downcast for
fear there would be no game. When
about noon tt began to pour and showed
no signs of holding up their hopes fell
to sero. But it did hold up and not
only that but It stopped altogether.
Then the cranks were happy and their
' faces wore a look of Joy that was larger
tn proportion than their frowns a short
' time before. There would probably
' Jiave been s larger crowd present had
' ; the weather been good, but those who
were there showed that they had firm
' belief In the power of the local team.
Ami they were not disappointed, and

PICKED UP AROUND TOWN.
That the Municipal park is duly ap
preciated by the people. Is seen by the
number of people who frequent It each
evening. There is not a prettier or bet
ter kept place In the city. We would
like to call the attention of the directors
that, although the south side is
crowded, the north side has few occu
pants. This Is because of the darkness
which overspreads this part. An elec
tric light Is needed.
Now that the base ball team has re
turned, the people should turn out and
fihcrw their appreciation of their good
work. Nothing has so much to do with
poor playing as a small crowd. Carbon
dale is now on top. and we hope It will
be there when the season ends. Let
the crowd turn out and oheer the boys
on to victory.
Strangers coming to Carbondale are
struck by the number of fences which
surround the residences. Until recently
this has been needed to keep the wan
dering bovlnes out, but now a cow Is
seldom seen upon the streets. The ap
pearances of the town and residences
would be Improved greatly by the re
moval of the unsightly fences.
Work on the reservoir has been com
pleted and the water has been turned
Into the basin. Carbondale can now
stand the severest drouth and not be
afraid of scarcity of water. The city
Is, Indeed, fortunate to have such a
supply, and the force la sufficient to
guard against fire.

futile, when the dynamiter gets In his

The North Cornwall (Pa.) furnace

about two years. Bessemer pig Iron
will be made, for which the furnace has
an annual capacity of 40,000 tons.

sheets, has resumed operations in full,
with the exception of mills Nos. S and 4,
which are being rebuilt.
The Lehigh Steel and Iron company
Is arranging to start Its No. 2 furnace
at Alletitown, Pa., before the end of the
month. High grade foundry iron will
be made. The annual caaclty of No. Z
stack Is about 20,000 tons.
One of the two stacks of the Allen-

mess.
The Phoenix Iron company, of Phoe-

Idle about four years. When last run
ning the furnaces made gray forge pig
iron, for which the three stacks have

The Unadllla Valley railroad, extend
ing from Brldgeiwater to New Berlin,
New York, a distance of twenty miles,
was formally opened on Thursday. It
connects the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Westerm with the New Berlin
branch of the New York, Ontario and
Western.
It Is officially denied that a deal is
pending between the Central Vermont
and the Grand Trunk.
Negotiations have been ln progress by
a number of Pittsburg capitalists look
ing toward the erection of a tlnplate
plant at McKeesport, Pa. It is under
stood that, should the plans be carried
through, a special process for tinning,
Invented 'by ex-Governor James A.
Beaver, will be used.
Carbondale Leader: The Franklin
Coal company has decided to en4arge
the capacity of Its plant for the manu
facture of -buckwheat coal out of Its
culm pile, 1y the use of a quadruplex
shaking screen twenty teet long, con
sisting of four screens, one above the
other, and operated from one shaft.
This screen is now 'being built by the
Hendrick 'Manufacturing company, and
will .be In operation about the middle of
next month.
Wllkes-Barre Record: For years the
Reading has permitted the shipments
of Its Lykens Valley coal to 'be included
In the anthracite tonnage. In our opin
ion this is manifestly unjust to the
Reading. Lykens Valley has a pecu
liar quality, and It Is non-competitive
with much of the coal mined by thti
other companies, excepting possibly the
Franklin coal mined for the Pennsyl
vania railroad. All or a portion of this
tonnage ought to be excluded, and the
adoption of this suggestion would -be a
practical and easy solution of the pres
ent difficulties surrounding an adjust
ment of the relation of the Reading
railroad to the tonnage allotments.
