DON'T I.IKE THE FLAN.
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.

.tal:s for Permission to Abandon Part of
Its Koute.
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.

INTERESTING STATEMENT
OF A NEW YORK GENTLEMAN
Rrgardlag the New Discovery lor Can of Dy s
pepsla sod Indigestion.
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. Local com
mission houses were buyers of the
Grangers, Louisville and Nashville and
the low priced issues. An Important
development was the Inquiry for rail
way and miscellaneous bonds, nearly
two and a half million dollars par value,
changing hands at advancing figures.
Foreign houses were buyers of the low
priced mortgages. In the late dealings
a disposition to accept profits In the
Industrials was manifested but the
railway list held firm. Total sales were
1!3.41 shares.
