KEEPING Wa OF CARS
Work of the Car Accountant's Office
in This City.
KEXNIO SYSTEM DESCRIBED
Interesting Method of Recording Cars
Owned by the Company and Those
That Pass - Over the Road.
, Magnltnde of the Work.
Few people have an Idea of the vast
ness of the work carried on In the car
accountant's department of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna nnd Western rail
road, which otllce was moved to this
city from New York when W. F. Hall
stead was made general manager of
the road and the headquarters located
In this city.
A reporter of The Tribune was shown
through the office yesterday afternoon,
and the system that is used In keeping
the record of cars explained by R. T.
Kennle, head ot"the car accountant's
department, who has held that posi
tion for the last fourteen years. While
working as a record clerk In the com
pany's office In New York, he Invented
the system which Is now In use nnd
which Is recognized to ba the best in
the country.
- Description of tho Systom.
The office employs about forty hands.
Some are engaged in keeping the record
of cars owned by the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western company, while
others keep the record of cars that come
on the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western lines which are owned by other
corporations. All agents at stations on
the Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern lines send In a daily report giving
a list af all cars received or delivered
to other roads; also on this report the
destination of each car Is given and Is
known to the ufllce clerk to be loaded
or empty by a plus or minus sign, which
Is opposite each car. On account of the
time and room it would take to enter
Into a book the name of the station a
car Is taken from or left at, a cipher Is
used, each station being known by the
number of miles It is distant from Ho
boken. Following is an example of
Jiow the record of a car Is kept:
If a car owned by some other com
pany should come on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western line from the
Grand Trunk raillway at Illack Rock,
N. Y., destined for Hoboken, It would
be entered in a book as "G to 414," tho
letter G being the cipher for the Grand
Trunk road, and 414 for the station of
Black Itock, It being that number of
miles from Hoboken. The next move
would be the conductor taking the car
from Black Rock to East Buffalo and
405 would be placed under 414 with the
plus or minus sign after each move to
show whether loaded or empty, and so
on until the car would reach Its desti
nation. If a Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western oar should be delivered to
the New York, Chicago and St. Louis
railway at East Buffalo, it would be en
tered as "405 to A," the number being
East Buffalo and the letter A being the
clptver for the New York, Chicago and
St. Louis railroad. If the New York,
Chicago and St. Louis should give this
to another western road, say the Chi
cago, Hamilton and Dayton, It would
be reported to the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western by a postal card
by the road making the delivery and
entered in the book as "A to C H" and
so on until the car was returned home.
Thus the owners always know what
road their cars are on.
Curs of Other Companies.
As soon as a car owned by another
railroad leaves .the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western lines the number
of miles made on Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western line la given to its
oredH and at the end of the month each
road Is paid accordingly The record of
cars owned by the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western company are kept
In the same manner with this excep
tion: Mr. Rennle has what Is known as
the "duplicate record." Besides keep
ing the record In a book a large case
supplied with small tickets. Is situated
In the cemter of the room and record
ktipt In the same manner on tickets,
each road having a separate box sup
plied with tickets. The advantage de
rived from this Is that by counting the
tickets In any of thesp boxes the exact
number of cars on any road can be told
immediately. A report Is sent In by
shops owned by the company each day,
and the day a car enters and leaves
shop iln entered. If a car owned by an
other company Is repaired at any of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and-Western
shops a bill for repairs Is sent to the
company which owns he car and set
Moments are made each month. This
Work Is looked after by Mr. Runyon,
who acts In the capacity of repair ac
countant. Mr. Rennle said that at any
time he can give the location of anj
car owned by the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western company.
About 60.000 oars ere dally looked
after by this department, and as the
mileage made by each car every month
has to be figured up. It is apparent
even to an outsider that there must be
an excellent system to take care of this
vast amount of work. Besides the 31 -088
cars owned by tho Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western there are about
as many more belonging to other com
panies, which pass over the road in the
course of a month, and which have
to be ltept track of with the most pre
else accuracy. There are about forty
connecting roads which are continual
ly taking or delivering cars, and some
of .these roads have as high as seven
Junctional points.
Description of Each Car.
Another record which Is kept In this
department is a description of every
car on the road. As soon as a car
comes out of the shops it Is entered on
a large record book, with tiie date of
Its being put la service, a descrip
tion of Its make, dimension, capacity,
equipment, kind and size of doors and
whether new or rebuilt. If It is re
paired later on a record of this is also
kept, together with the kind of repairs
necessary; also when H Is again put In
service. ' ;l ' ' .'
Richard P. Hamilton, who is Mr.
Rennle's first assistant, presides oyer
the details of the work, although the
heaping spoonfuls.
inventor of the system, sir. Rennle,
gives It his constant personal super
vision. Both these gentlemen have been In
this line of work for great many
years, and both are strong advocates
of the per diem system of renting cars,
a movement for which Is now agitating
the leading railroad companies. As
stated In yesterday's issue a company
at present under the mileage system
pays merely for the use to which a
neighbor's car Is put, and although It
may have the car in its possession for
a year it may only credit It with having
run only a few miles on its road. If
the per diem system was adopted a
road would return Its neighbor's car as
soon as it got through with it, and thus
a company could have the use of Its own
equipment more than It does now, and
would receive some sort of an adequate
return for the use of its cars on other
roads.
PRIEST IS PROSECUTED.
Pceallar Charge Brought Against Rsv.
Valentine Ilalough, of Old Forgo, by m
Woman of Loose Charsoter-Sald to
Have Been Caused by Designing Op
ponents. On a charge of criminal assault a
warrant was yesterday Issued by Alder
man Wright at the Instance of Tedella
Levozboski, an unmarried woman,
against Rev. Valentine Balaugh, of
Old Forge, pastor of the Greek Catholic
church, about which there Is much
trouble now In the courts. The woman
is 28 years of age, and admitted that
she is the mother of two illegitimate
children. Her testimony was so utter
ly devoid of any coherence and truth
that the alderman denounced the action
as an outrage and dismissed the case.
Ex-Judge W. H. Stanton represented
the woman and Attorney E. C. New
comb the priest. Since July 7 the
church at Old Forge has been closed.
The pastor and those who sympathize
with him brought Injunction proceed
ings against the contingent which
holds the keys and refuses to open the
church. Two of the defendants are
Kost Rusln and John Sharack, a pair
of tip top intriguers. The prosecutrix
blurted out while under Mr. Newcomb's
cross-examination that these two men
would not let her abide In peace unless
she consented to this persecution
against the priest.
She tried to prove the charge by
telling a bolstered up story In which
she got so tangled that the alderman
saw the motive. The criminal suit
against the priest Is likely to result In
trouble for the perpetrators.

Attorney James E. Watklns, of Tay
lor, reading clerk of the house of rep
resentatives, was victorious as the
Willard-Hastings delegate over R.
Willis Reese, of Old Forge, by the vote
of 424 to 16 In the Third legislative
district convention, assembled at the
court house yesterday afternoon. Be
sides the 59 delegates representing the
Republicans voters of the district, a
large attendance of interested onlook
ers occupied seats in court room No. 1,
where the convention took place.
Leading lights of the party of the
opposite persuasion present were: Col
onel F. J. FltxBlmmons, a local light,
and C. Ben Johnson, of Wllkes-Barre.
They had reserved seats In the jury
box. The only well-known Republi
cans of note who were seen in the
audience were Clerk of the Courts
John H. Thomas, Prorhonotary Clar
ence E. Pryor, Sam H. Stevens and
John Fern, of the West Side. The aud
itorium of the court room was filled
and most of the delegates had seats
within the bar enclosure.
Proceedings Were Businesslike.
Chairman of the District Committee
John McOrlndle, of Mooslc, at 2.10 called
the delegates to order, after which Dr.
J. W. Houser, of Taylor, the secretary,
read the call and the list of districts, an
nouncing the representation to which
each one was entitled. Before the en
rollment of the delegates. Dr. N. C.
Mackey. of Waverly, arose and sug
gested that an assistant secretary be
selected to assist Dr. Houser. P. S.
Parker, of 'South Ablngton, was chosen
for this office and then as the districts
were called In alphabetical order the
delegates marched to the secretary's
desk with their credentials. This was
done systematically and in a business
like manner.
From the South district of Lacka
wanna township a contest was present
ed by William Thomas against John
Vanderberg, and from Ransom the seat
of .Henry Hnrlos was contested by Gall
on Haupt. In order to obviate the ap
pointment of a committee on contested
seats, It was unanimously agreed to
give each man in these two districts a
half vote.
Dr. N. C. Mackey was nominated for
permanent chairman toy T. H.' Watts,
of Glenburn, without any remarks; M.
D. Cure, of Scott, seconded the nomlna
tlon, and the election was made unani
mous. Dr. Mackey took tne chair and
thanked tho delegates for the honor.
He stated that nominations were then
In order for the election of permanent
secretary. William Thomas, of Ml
nooka. nominated Dr. Houser. but that
gentleman eald he was not a delegate,
and did not believe he was eligible. It
was found that the party rules allow
a secretary of the out-going committee
to be chosen, so Dr. Hoer was unani
mously chosen permanent secretary.

Without any oratory the name of
James E. Watklns was placed in nomi
nation as a delegate to the state con
vention at iHarrlnburg on Wednesday,
Aug. 28. A short silence reigned before
Attorney RIchardiHolgate took the floor
to sing the praises of R. Willis Reese,
the Quay candidate. He started out
with a flowery Introduction and told
how forty years ago the (Republican
party, was organised and since then
that no man has shown more skill in
the party leadership than Qtathew Stan
ley Quay, who for the past twelve
years has had his hand on the pilot
wheel. .
'Mr. Holgate was I proceeding to 'ar
raign what he was pleased to term a
campaign of false pretenses and poli
tical assassination, and declared he
was going to tell the delegates a bag
full of Information about treachery
and what not, when Mr. Watts, of
Glenburn, appealed to the chair to shut
oft some of the La Plumelte's steam.
Chairman Mackey ruled that the orator
was In order and tie was allowed to go
on with his recitation. He ended by
nominating R. Willis Reese. During
his harangue Mr. Holgate referred,
with the hope of pandering to ' the
sentiment of the delegates, to the silent
senator as a "man who came up from
the people."
Soma Benton Hum or.
J. W. Tiffany, of Benton, whose good
natured face, aet in a fringe of
luxuriant whiskers, has been prominent
In Republican gatherings for years,
arose and seconded Mr. Reese's nomi

and added: "Wo are In' the minority,

but he was too big to cry."
The vote was taken with the result as
above stated. 'Dr. Mackey was chosen
alternate. After some talk about how
committeemen should be chosen the
convention adjourned. There were no
resolutions passed, nor any Introduced.

SUED FOR SLANDER.
Sequel to the Warrant Sworn Oat by II.
T. Bragdon Against Henry Patterson.
Attorneys B. F. Tlnkham and Ward
& Horn, representing H. T.- Bragdon,
filed a trespass suit in court yesterday
demanding damages in the sum of
$2,000 for defamation of character from
Henry Patterson. On Monday the
same parties were concerned In a sure
ty case in Alderman Wright's office,
and Patterson entered ball to appear
at court.
iHe is an Englishman and with his
wife boards at a Washington avenue
boarding house. He is a musician and
a rabid free trade Democrat. Bragdon

gument, until a few nights ago they

words were exchanged. It Is alleged
that Patterson called Bragdon, who is
a book agent, "a thief, fraud and
swindler."
For these worda the suit was brought,
capias was Issued and the sheriff ar
rested Patterson; he was asked to give

ahe would hang herself to the prison
door if the warden would not let her in
with Harry. The rain began to fall and

HE WILL GET HIS OATS.
And the Food Inspector Is Ready to Keep
I'p tho Supply.
Food Inspector Thomas when spoken
to yesterday concerning the auditing
committee's action in cutting off the al
lowance for feeding his horse said that
the auditing committee of councils cer
tainly had that power; that they have
had that power right along and the only
reason they now exercise It Is because
he acted In a recent election "contrary
to the ideas of some of the members of
the auditing committee.
iMr. Thomas was anything but pleased
over what he deemed small potato poli
tics and asserted emphatically that he
would continue to vote as he pleased
and that the horse would not want for
oats.
It now develops, according to the
opinion of one well versed In city af
fairs, that Mr. Thomas Is entitled to the
allowance made by the estimates com
mittee, because when an ordinance is
passed It repeals all other ordinances
or parts of ordinances Inconsistent with
its provisions.
THERE WAS NO MEETING.
Quorum of Associated Charities Members
Does Not Materialize.
A regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Associated Charities was
scheduled for last night, but only three
members, John Gibbons, T. J. Kelly
and Mrs. Duggan, were present.
Mr. Kelly Is chairman of the child
saving committee. He has received a
letter from the Home of the Friendless,
in which the 8-year-old son and 4-year-old
daughter of Samuel Bryant and
Alice Bryant are kept. The father
wants to get charge of the children, and
he states that his wife has reformed,
but Mrs. Duggan claims that the wo
man Is not living In a neighborhood
noted for Its moral tone.

We have never thought favorably of
the Idea of advertising two or three ar
ticles cheap, simply to draw trade. Our
plan Is, and always has been, to make
the price on every thing io stock Just
as low as It can possibly be made.
Goods that usually pay all the profit of
a store, such as Teas, Coffees, Spices,
Confectionery, Cigars, -etc., we sell on
almost as close a margin as Sugar,
Flour, Butter, Hams, etc., are usually
sold, and we have found by adopting
this plan that we are selling more Teas,
