WATCH ON ONE ANOTHER
That Is the Purpose of the Car Ser
vice Association.
IT'S A NEW KA1LK0AD IDEA
How tho Joint Agreement of Seventeen
Railroads Is Watched and In
forced by One Iturcaa-I.ittle
known of Its Workings.
For four and a halt years there has
been located In 'Scran ton the headquar
ters of one of tho must modern asso
ciations connected with latter-day rail
ri'aditijr. and one of the must useful In
its relation to the great freight car
riers. Yet it Is probable that scarcely
mure than one in u hundred pcrsnns,
outside those who have daily dealings
with the railroads, know of the exist
ence of the association referred to,
which seems all the more strange con
sidering that tills one of many similar
Institutions saves each year hundreds
of thousands of dollars to the rail
roads It represents.
Reference Is made to the Northeast
ern Pennsylvania Car Service associa
tion, a l.uig title which, however, does
not reveal a purpose, I'.ilelly stated
the concern Is an association of six
teen railroads in this region whoso
main otlice Is in the commonwealth
building, and whose purpose Is to keep
a chick on one another in seeing that
tholr joint agreement to charge demur
rage on loaded cars Is enforced.
For several years Poor's manual has
cnivtaincd statistics showing that the
average dally earnings of lite freight
enrs throughout the whole 1'nile.l
States Is a little over $1 each, no allow
ance being made for the time the cars
stand on switches or are In the shops.
This is an Important f.u-t to remember
In perusing tliM article about the Car
Service association, as It looks tn the
enforcement of a Joint agreement, pro
viding that SI, per day per car shall be
collected from consignees who fail to
unload their goods within forty-eight
hours after a delivery at a given point.
The difference between the $:! per day
earning capacity of the car and the $1
penalty exacted from the consignee
represents a theoretical loss of $2 per
day to the company.
Has Cecil lu lixistoncj Six Years.
1! was only about six years ago that
nn association, similar to the one whose
headquarters is In Scranton, was lo
cated In litifl'alo. It represented all
the railroads operating In western New
York, and was fought from tho begin
ning by the press and largo buyers,
who printed and said things about
"more robbing and screwing by greedy
corporations."
Possibly that accounts for the chip
on the shoulder of A. C,. Thomuson
when he came from the liufTalo otlice
to manage the business of the North
eastern Pennsylvania association, but
the business was a reform which had
come to stay, so the chip never had a
blow aimed at It; in fact, the business
of the association Is almost unknown
outside th? ctrcle of car-lot consigners
with whom It comes In contact.
Five hundred station agents make
dally reports of loaded cars delivered
at and taken from their stations. A
system of checking In the Scranton of
llce reveals whether or not a car has
been left standing over the time al
lowed for unloading. IStit the business
of the association does not end with
any ngent until the storage penalty
has been paid. In order to guard
against false reports from station
agents an Inspector Is located In the
railroad yards of Rcrnnton. Wllkes
Hurre. Willinmsport and Jlolioken, nnd
It Is his duty to make Inspections at un
expected times In all the yards In his
district. Dismissal is meted out to the
agent who has falsllled his car reports.
A comment made by William K. Hall
stead, general manager of the Dela
ware. Lackawanwi and Western road,
well Illustrates what amount of money
the association has saved the large
freight carriers. During the fall and
winter of lfcSO-iit the Lackawanna and
many other roads suffered a car famine.
There "Acre Not C.nrs linoiigli.
Shippers were making a demand for
cars at a ratio of almost .1 to 1 com
pared with the ability of the railroads
to supply the need. The Lackawanna
road proposed not to be caught In such
a predicament again, and 1,000 new
box cars were forthwith ordered. It
was about this time that the associa
tion began its work In Scranton. A
few weeks later i.Mr. llallstend was
asked what be thought of the new Idea.
Jie replied:
"I think so well of It that .if I had
known what It was capable of doing
1 would not have ordered 1,000 new box
cars." This remark merely proved
that the association .hadi done much
toward lifting the blockade of loaded
cars and had given the companies roll
ing stock to meet the demands of ship
pen. The car service association Idea
originated In the brain of an Omaha
railroad man and after its adoption in
the west was fought on all sides, chief
ly, however, because It represented a
new method for facilitating freight
transportation and Incidentally collect
ed penalties from Individuals who had
previously been permitted to hold cars
almost any length of time before re
phlpping to third parties. The privi
lege of re-shipping Is still accorded con
signers, but the time for so doing is
curtailed to meet the Joint agreement
of the railroads, which ngreement Is
looked to by the association.
Yesterday the quarterly meeting of
the Car Service association was held
nnd wns attended by seven representa
tives of the seventeen railroads In the
agreement.
;ki:at sale of clothing.
An Immense Stock of Kino Winter
Goods Heine Sacrificed at Martin
Hclnnv's.
The big sacrifice sale of clothing con
tinues at Martin & iDelany's, and In at
tracting large crowds of purchasers,
who are securing gome rare bargains
In the clothing line.
The recent cold weather necessitated
bringing oirt a large quantity of the
winter goods overcoats, ulsters and
suits that were In stock In the base
ment, stored away for the summer.
These goods were not shown before as
there was no call for them. They com
prise all of the goods In I he stock of
Martin ft Delany, and. are of the very
best grade. They are being sold now at
the same low prices that the rest of the
Stock was offered at. The discounts
on them vnry from 2.1 to 50 per cent.
A most complete line of clothing for
men and boys is to be found among
this big stock of 'Martin & Delany, and
the way In which they are being sold
Is sulliclent that they are rare bargains.
You will certainly need these goods
later; why not secure a bargain now
before they are all gone. Martin & De
lany's, on Wyoming avenue, is the only
place In 'Northeastern Pennsylvania
where clothing can lie purchased at re
tail for less than wholesale prices.

LORENZO GOT A BAD DUMP.
Helpless Drunkard Remained Helpless
a Whole Day and Part of the Night.
.Patrolman IPalmer picked up a help
less drunk on Kreck court yesterday
morning at 7 o'clock nnd had him con
veyed In the patrol wagon to the sta
tion house, where an examination
shewed that the man was not only
drunk but uncor.cl:.us.
Police Surgeon Fulton was sent for
and advised that he be sent to the
Lackawanna hospital, which was done.
The aide of hli head was badly con
tused as If he had 'been struck by some
blunt Instrument or hnd collided heavlf
ly with a stone In falling. I
On the lining of bis hat waa printed
tne name ".Morgan" aim the Initial
"U H. M." There Is no L. H. Morgan
In the directory. About o'clock last
night the man recovered Ms senses and
explained that he was Lurenso II. Mor
gan and that he was a Journeyman
painter. 37 years of age, at present re
siding In this city.
He could give no account of himself
further than that he was on a drunk
Tuesday night. Ho Is recovering and
will possibly be discharged today.
AGONY IS SOON OVER.
Thnt's All That din lie Suld in Favor of
the Dicyclo (ilrl.
There Is one very commendable feat
ure about "The Dlcycle (llrl:" it Is its
brevity. It required MIsa Nellie Ale
Henry and her seven assitnnts l'va
than two hours to worry through tho
"musical cycle-comedy" last night, but
no one made any complaint about that.
Why "The Hlcycle Girl" was written
Its author. IM. A. Woolf, may be able to
tell, but it Is doubtful If anybody else
could disci-over an adequate reason. It
Is supposed to be a satire on the new
woman, but is a weak and clumsy
effort.
Miss Miiienry exerted herself to the
utmost last night to Inject life and
vim Into the performance, but her ef
forts were unsuccessful. She needs n
new comedy and a new, company, and
until she secures them, has no right
to appear In theaters which charge reg
ular prices.
WAST X0 CURTAILMENT.
Commoners IH Not Think $210 Is a Fair
Yenr's Saliirv.
It was rumored about city hall yes
terday that common council, at to
night's meeting, will kill the amend
ment limiting the time of service of the
lioard of revision and appeals to seven
ty days a year. At f. a day, the re
muneration prescribed, this provision
would permit of the members of the
board making only $L'10 a year, which,
in the eyes of the commoners, Is li
rather slim pittance for a city ofllclal.
They claim that Inasmuch as the law
provides that the board shall sit from
time to time as may be found necessary
that It Is Impossible and illegal for
council to say beforehand that the
board can do a year's work In any
specified time short of a year.
Vt hy Amendment Was offered,
The obnoxious amendment was In
troduced by 'Mr. Chittenden at the last
meeting of select council. Ho and sev
eral other progressive members of the
upper branch have not looked with ad
miring eyes upon the mad scramble of
councllmen for positions on. the new
board, and no doubt with the hope of
cooling their ardor tacked on this
amendment which would take from the
office much of that which makes It seek
the num.
While there is a question as to the
legality of the amendment, the com
moners will not attack It on that
ground, but will pitch Into It without
gloves and hurl Its bleeding and
mangled corpse back at the selectmen
for further consideration and concur
rence. What tho Hosnlt May He.
If the present quibbling between the
two bodies over this measure is kept
up It may reach such a pass that
neither side will agree to make con
cessions, and, as a consequence, this
city will be withuut a board assessors
for some time to come.
GATHERED HERE AND THERE.
Firwood In 'South Wllkes-Darre was evi
dently an Indian burying gound and has
niuny historical associations clustering
around it, judging by the numberof Indian
skeletons that arc being unearthed Ly
workmen who are excavating for cellars
and making streets. A few weeks ago a
number of Indian bones were dug up, but
a few days ago Contractor W. G. Downs'
workmen came across three or four skele
tons close together. The bones were in a
good state of preservation and the fact
Unit they were those of Indians was
shown by the general formation of the
skull and the prominent cheek bones.
One of the skeletons was that of a woman.
The frames were not lying horizontally
as Is customary, hut were standing erect,
the skulls being about four feet from the
surface nnd the feet about ten feet, This
was Indian custom of burial. One of tho
skeletons held a pipe between Its teeth.
It Is made of stone, the bowl being per
forated, nnd worked around with rings,
In the usual manner of Indian pipes. His
torians tell us that It was at Firwood or
near it that the famous "grasshopper"
controversy took place between Indians
attached to Queen listher, who llgures
so prominently In the history of Wyoming
valley, nnd other tribes and that many
Were killed.
City F.ngineer Phillips was recently
called Upon to decide a nine question of
equity which possibly never hnd a preced
ent. A number of property holders along
the line of tho new sewer III the Four
teenth ward, some years ago constructed
a private sewer. In which was used $120
worth of terra-eotta pipe. Contractor
Koons in constructing the main sewer dug
up this pipe nnd appropriated It to h H
own use against the protests of the prop
erty holders who paid for It. Council
man Nenlls was appealed to arid .he In
turn laid the matter before City Engineer
Phillips. The city engineer consulted his
knowledge of tho law nil the way back
to Solomon's time, and after much cogita
tion decided that the contractor could re
tain the pipe, reasoning thnt If the prop
erty holders had wanted to reclnlm It
they should have dug it up or made some
arrangements with tho contractor for d'e
g'ng It up for them. The decision Went
anil Contractor Koons' terra-eotta mine
stays.
St. Luke's summer home at Lake Ariel
will close today for the season. Muring
the last three months It has been tilled
constantly with poor women and children,
who were In 111 health, but had not the
means to take a vacation In the country,
where pure nir, rest and wholesome food
would win (back their health. To scores of
suoli women and children tho summer
home was an undisguised blessing nnd
the good accomplished cannot be esti
mated. The number entertained at the
summer home this year was one-third
larger than during nny preceding sum
mer In its history and 'it Is to be hoped It
will receive such financial assistance ns
will enable It next, summer tn still fur

Only those who are at the head of the
ninny noble chnrltles of the city reall.o
the necessity of such an Institution ns

that It !s capable of accomplishing.

Thnt Explains Work Traction Company
Is Doing at Spruce and Penn.
Tho appearance of a rung of Trac
tion company trackmen tearing up the
old pavement at Spruce street and
Penn avenue nt noon yesterday started
a rumor that the company proposed re
suming the Spruce street route for the
Incoming Oreen Ridge and Dunmore
suburban cars. To a Tribune reporter
General Manager Sllllman said the old
pavement was to be torn up only at the
junction of the two thoroughfares ami
was a part of the work of putting In
a new jiave between the company's
rails at that point. ,
"Do you Intend running cars on the
old Spruce street route?" asked the
reporter.
"Possibly, some time," replied Mr.
Sllllman.
When asked If the recent notifica
tion of tho street commissioner that all
dlffcnnneeted tracks lie removed had
anything to do with the Spruce street
work, IMr. Sllllmnn replied In the nega
tive and said the company had no
trucks that would not be used. He saJd
a change would be made In the pres
ent routm of some lines in the central
city, 'but he could not talk specifically.

NEWS OF THE SMI TH SIDE.
Mission Services Last Night in St. John's
Church-Sermon by Kcv. Father Burke.
Martin Uolden Injured.
The services at the mission In St.
John's church last evening were con
ducted by Rev. Father (VCallahan and
Revj Father Rurke. The former gave
Instruction on purgatory. This, he said,
the church teaches is a place where the
atonement of sins that have been for
given, takes place. The soul undergoes
a term of purgation for all the offences
against Cod's law that penance has not
been done for In this world. The souls
In purgatory cannot help themselves;
It Is only through the prayers of the
persons In tills life. The church is di
vided into the church triumphant,
heaven, the church suffering, purga
tory, and-the church militant, this
world.
There Is an Intercommunication
among these jiarts of the church, but
only in such way that the militant
through the triumphant church can as
sist the Buffering church, or the souls
In purgatory. The prayers of this
world ascend to heaven nnd grant re
lease to the suffering souls. Father
Rurke spoke on death from the text.
"Thou fool, this night sball be required
of thee thy soul." The wonderful command-
and of language possessed by
Fathcur Rurke and his deep resonant
voice make his words strikingly im
pressive. He pnld that among many
men, Indeed, there Is a feeling that It Is
time enough to turn to Ood In the last
hours of life, trusting to adeath-lJed re
pentance. (He unfolded the life of an ordinary
man, how fraught with sin It Js, and
Impressed upon his henrers the neces
sity of acting in accordance with God's
law In whatever they do. It Is ai poor
recourse to make a virtue of necessity,
to turn to Ood and seek forgiveness
when the lamp of life is almost extin
guished. l ittle News Notes.

It is lucky If a sudden rise or fall in

lint with the use of proper food, and
there Is nothing so absolutely good as
la tatcd food, this danger may be en
tirely avoided. Statistics show that
ha'bioK thrive best on lartati-d food. It
Is worth more as a preventive of chol

ever made.
The superlative Importance of pure,
nutritious infant food, and the long
study of Infant Oisordi r.4 caused by
mistakes In dirt, led to the prepara

a baby. It more closely resembles
mother's milk than any other food
