Conversation on the streets yesterday on the topic of Councilman Nealls' new viaduct ordinance was not very favor able to the measure. Here Is a state ment of the opposition: "Mr. Nealls' plan Is not consistent. What we want Is a viaduct for the use of Hyde Park as a whole. Mr. Nealls' viaduct would not offer this. He means to stretch a bridge diagonally from the entrance to Nealls court on Koblnson street to the Corner of Seventh street and Lacka wanna avenue. Tills would be better for the people of lower Hyde Park than would Councilman Oliver's lost - but hopeful plan. Hut what will the resi dents of upper nyde Park do? They would have to cross the railroad tracks us of yore. People living north of West Lackawanna avenue and Lafayette street could not possibly be benellted by the plan." The West Side board of trade Is nlready laying lines for an other viaduct Issue and the board Is out and out for the defeated plan. FAIR AND T3AZAAK.

The Valley Passenger Railway com pany of this city yesterday filed pa pers. In the state department at Harris burg stating thatMt will abandon por tions of Its road extending through ten boroughs and three townships In the vicinity of this city. A recent court decision in this state laid down the doctrine that an electric car company which applies for a chart er ror a road over a given route must obtain franchises ror the same and complete its road over thv entire route that It is proposed to travel within two years from the time or the grant ing or the franchises. In the event of failure to obtain franchises or complete the road within the time specified Its rights are forreited. The Valley Passenger Railway com pany was chartered to build a road rrom Avoca to Olyphant passing through Scranton en route. Only a por tion or the rood lying within the city limits was built, and rranchlses were not obtained ror the whole route. Soon arter the rranchlses were se cured rrom the councils of this city the rights or the Valley company be came vested In the Scranton Traction company through a long term lease. Arter the decision or the court above referred to the officers of the Valley company had some of the borough anil townships from which rranchlses were obtained, revoke the privileges granted. This action has been relnrorced by the application to the state department ror permission to abandon part of the route mentioned In the company's charter. As the case stands at present there are many who believe that the city has the right to declared forreited the rran chlses granted to the Valley company, whether or not this view or the case Is correct could probably only be ascer tained by a decision or the courts. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Under this heading short letters of In terest will bo published when accompa nied, for publication, by the writer's name. The Tribune will not be held re sponsible for opinions here expressed. A NEGI.KCTKO UH'RCII. To my observation the Sumner Avenue Presbyterian church hus been seriously and liadly neglected by the l-arkawunnu Presbytery. Of course, the church mem bers huve done wonderful work ever since the chinch was erected. They have done all that could be done in their power to pay the debt, but hundreds of thirsting souls cannot understand the causes of the presbytery's slackness and delay in helping so promising a mission. Surely they have received more help from other denominations than from their own. If this be so It would seem that our pres bytery has not a very high standard of duty in the mat lor, or helping their own thriving mission churches at home, but only abroad. 1 feel sorry and sympathize deeply In seeing this little church sold out at sheriff's sale, because I know it has been the means of saving many souls and doing great work among our young peoplu. A young lady on heurlnir that the chur h was to be sold cried bitterly, and tears iould be seen I'liiiiilng down the faces of the older people. Why should they cry and feel sorry over a mission that the Uickawanna presbytery takes no notice of? Because Ihey feel for their large Sun day school and for the young people that go there, and won't go anywhere else al'trr the church Is sold and gone. This Is the reason. They have Kill Sunday school scholars. The church Is filled tb t!i doors every Sunday night. The church Is occupied every night in the week bv different societies, Women's society. Young People's Christian Kndeavor, Hand of Hope, Children's Mission society. Young People's Debating and Philosophic society and others. The presbytery should be willing to glvs their best thoughts and heartiest efforts to this Uod-hlessed, thriving mlsnlun and carry it onwurd to the fullest victory. It can be made one of the strongest Presby terian churches, not only In this city, but In the State, May the hearts of Mod's people 'be opened toward this church is my earnest prayer. - Daniel E. Gregory, Jr. Scranton, April 10. MORE OF THE STOLEN GOODS Another Wagon Load of Do pot Thieves' Plunder Recovered.

Some weeks ago the newspapers of the country devoted considerable space to an account pf an interesting discov ery in medicine, which, it was claimed. would cure all forms of dyspepsia and! stomach troubles. Since the time many experiments have been made with the remedy in order to demonstrate Just how much real merit It possessed. The results of these experiments have been all that could be desired; In fact, In many cases the cures very little short of wonderful. The remedy is prepared In loienge or tablet form, pleasant to the taste, and harmless even for the stomach of an infant. In fact, no secret is made of Its ingredients, being composed of vege table essences, fruit salts, pure pefisln and bismuth. They are sold by drug gists under the name of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, and are undoubtedly the safest and most reliable remedy to use when tho stomach Is weak, or any trouble whatever with the digestive organs. Mr. C. Benslnger, of the firm of Ben singer A Co., ti nnd 7'Dey street. New York city, relates his experience brief ly but unmistakably. He says: Some three months ago I purchased at a drug store two boxes of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets und I take great pleas ure In statins that after using about half or one fifty cent box I felt such a wonderful relief from the dyspepsia I was sufferinc from that 1 did not need the rest of the box. ;. Having many rrlends who were equally troubled with some form or Other of Indigestion, I suggested and offered to them some or the Tablets and the-verdlct or all who have taken them Is the same, that they are wonderful' In their effect and the best thing of the kind. I have nothing but the best wishes for Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. Very truly, C. Benslnger. 6 and 7 Dey street, New York. Thoughtful men and women are cau tious regarding patent medicines and very properly so. Being secret prep arations you cannot knew Just what you are taking into your stomach. With Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed as they are qj" pure, fresh pepsin, vege table essences, fruit salts and bismuth, no risk Is Incurred. The overworked. Irritable stomach is at once invigorated and rested, and perfect digestion means strong neirveii and muscles, a clear head, energy for mental or physical work and capacity t enjoy life. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. If yours does not happen to have them he will get them for you, as they are sold by all wholesalers. MARKET AND STOCK REPORT. Wall Street Review. New York, April 16. The feature of speculation at the stock exchange to day was American Sugar which sold up to 123, the best figure attained since the current bill campaign set In. There were no new developments to ac count for the further rise In the stock. Brokers credited with acting for Inside Interests were again heavy buyers. The rise was stimulated by purchases for the short account near the close there were sales to realize profits and a re action to 125(ff 125H took place. Tobac co was less prominent and ranged be tween 6S&69, closing at 8H. General Electric was weak and fell from 37 to 11674. The stock lacked support throughout notwithstanding statements that the annual report will show a sur plus of HUO.OOO. Chicago was also heavy, and fell to 6. The railway list developed greater strength than of late and better prices were recorded. Lon don sold some St. Paul but bought Ixiulsvllle and Nashville.
