Whereas, It has pleased an all-wlsu
Providence to remove from our widst by
death Elder Thomas Ellis, who for many
years, even until failing health romnplln.l
him to relinquish It, served as pastor of

ANOTHER TROLLEY

CitUess' Street Railway Company o!
Lackawanna County Chartered.

tend to Build and Operate a Road
- in ScraatoB and Its Vicinity.
There Is going to be a big street car
war In this town, and It la going to
take place right away.
Yesterday the Citizens Street Rail
way company, of Lackawanna county.
was chartered a ilarnsburg witn a
capital of $200,000. and the following as
directors: Ex-Mayor W. L. Connell,
Plummer S. Page, president of the
passive People's Street Railway corn-
any; Charles II. Schadt, county treas
urer: H. H. Archer, ex-generai man
ager of the Scranton Traction company.
end P. J. Horan, the wen-Known uun
more capitalist. Electricity will be
used as a motive power.
This company has been quietly or
ganising during the past few months,
and only a few outside of the Imme
diately Interested parties knew any
thing of It, further than wnat Knowl
edge was gained from vague rumors.
Tho fact that this city was not ac
corded the best of treatment by the
Traction company had much to do in
encouraging the present company to
organize.
Having made all their plans ana ar
ranged for every possible contingency
the conmany threw down the gauntlet.
It was not a surprise', altogether, to the
Traction people, but the strength of the
new company ana the known pusn ana
determination of the men composing It
Is not the most pleasant subject of con
templation to the Traction officials.
WILL OPERATE THE ROAD.
The new company is totally unlike
any of those recently organized, as it
does not merely Intend to build a
tenament" road through some few bor
oughs or townships, but a first-class,
thoroughly equipped, competing road
within the city limits, not to be rented
to the company now existing, but to be
operated by the builders.
It will not do a paper roaa. paia one
of the directors last night to a Tribune
reporter: "You can say to the people
through The Tribune, and hold me re
sDonsible for the truth of the state
ment, that our company win asx tor
twenty-five miles of the city streets,
and if granted to us we will build and
operate a first-class, modern street
railwav on them."
While the present company controls
bv franchise nearly every desirable
street in the city the new company Is
not a whit deterred In bidding for twenty-five
miles of streets, some of which
are already carried by franchises. The
new company will go Into councils ana
demand that the old company take ad
vantage of the privileges which have
been granted them or give up their
franchises as fast as the two years'
time limit expires. They will then make
favorable propositions for the Iran
chlse on those streets.
The Traction company will not be Idle
all this time, as can be verily believed
and the consequence will be that pos
sibly-the greatest franchise fight this
city ever witnessed will occupy the at
tention of councils during the coming
months.
The details of the new . company s
plans are kept quiet, but it is reason
able to believe that it will confine Its
mnln operations to the city proper.
The men composing the Citizens
company are as a whole or In part. In
terested In several of the smaller com
panies recently organized to build and
operate extensions up and down the
valley. The proponed new road, which
will gridiron Punmore and open up the
county along the back road through
Throop and other towns ns far us the
valley as Wlnton, Is said to be con
trolled by the Citizens' company.
They also control other spurs and
evidently have another planned, as
there is to be five miles of road built
outside the city according to the provi
sions of the charter granted yesterday.

TWO COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
Councilmen Pass on Two Interesting
Matters.
Two committees of select council nut
In extra, time yerterday. The paving
committee, with city Engineer Phil
lips and City Solicitor Torrey, to whom
was rererrea tne dispute over the Ma
hot court pave, went to the scene ves.
terday afternoon and arranged what
they hope will be an amicable adjust
ment. Frank Spencer's objection to the
proposed cave was that it was to be
laid to a grade that would damage his
property. The other objectors were
simply opposed to paving. These lat
ter were not considered, but Mr. Spenc
er's objection, being found to be a rea
sonable one, was discussed at length
and a decision arrived at, which was
to have the city engineer Bubmlt a
new grade that will, it Is hoped, be sat
Isfactory to all.
The streets and bridges committee
met In the evening at the drug Btore
of Chairman C. E. Chittenden and list
ened to the complaint of the Lackawan
na Iron and Steel company, through
Chief Engineer Conklln, about the prop
osition to build .a sidewalk along the
east side of, Mattes street, between
Lackawanna avenue and Cedar avenue
bridge. The company alleges that this
would be a great detriment to their
works, as it would necessitate the re
moval of the narrow guage railway,
which now extends along a part of that
side of the street. The committee
agreed to consider the matter carefully
and effect a compromise If possible. As
a compromise It will be suggested that
the compa concede additional land
on the west side of the street bo that
the present .roadway and sidewalk can
oe widened.
Councils and the company will be
called upon to consider this lan, nnd
wlien both nrf toady to uct a confer
ence win uc called.
PARTED TO MEET AGAIN.
The Parting, However, Mas More
Pleasant Than the Meeting.
After finishing their day's work, yes
terday, three miners from Johnson's
colliery went Into one of the holes-ln-the-wall,
that Infest the "patch" bo
thickly, and there did what three min
ers, through with their day's work,
would da in a hole-in-the-wall. These
miners were unwise for instead or fol
lowing the custom of miners under cir
cumstances such as related above. they
drank to excess and as a result came to
grief.
About 7 o'clock In the evening they
parted company outside the groggery
and started as they believed for their
respective homes. Some hours later
they woke up In the central police sta
tion each Inquiring of the other what It
all meant.
Sergeant Deiter to relieve their minds
explained to them that they had been
picked up at various points in the Sev
enteenth ward about 8.30 o'clock, each
stretched out dead drunk. They took
the sergeant's word for It.

ADVANTAGES OF OUR CHEAP FUEL
It Would Allow Electricity to Be
Generated in This City and Trans
mitted to Distant Points Tor l'e in
Illuminating Cities and Tnrniugthe
Wheels of Countless Industries,
New discoveries In the adaptability of
electricity to manufacturing purposes
may result in great benefit-to Scran
ton. Tesla. the Inventor, has succeeded In
producing a more brilliant Incandes
cent light with the use of but a frac
tion of current now expended, and he
has also disclosed that electricity can
be transmitted great distances, with
out any perceptible waste.
Scranton being but 140 miles from
New York city and 160 from Philadel
phia, It would Immediately become a
center for the generating of electricity
on account of the cheap fuel that is
afforded by the culm heaps dotting the
valley. The one great reason why large
plants have not been built here before.
Is that the transmission of electricity
to distant points would entail a waste
of current which would offset the bene
fit derived from cheap fuel.
If Tesla's Invention does what Is
claimed It will do, and It might be
added that Edison and other famous
electrical experts have long held that
the Idea Is reusable, there is no doubt at
all but that thecity will become a man
ufacturing center for electricity with
which New York and Philadelphia will
be supplied for lightning and manufac
turing purposes.
The new lamp manufactured by him
gives a greater light than has hereto
fore been obtained. Already the West-
Inghouse Electrlo Manufacturing com
pany, or rittsburg, has completed a
few of his motors for use on the Man
hattnn Elevated Railway lines in New
lorK city.
These new motors have been suffi
ciently tested to show that they possess
marked advantages over continuous
current motors and their use will en
able the Elevated Railway company to
operate their entire system In New
York from one central station, by the
rracuse of main conductors costing but
a rraction of tne amount now expend
ed on the continuous system.
ACCUSERS ARE ACCUSED.
Tho Eastmans Now Charged with
Making Terrible Threats.
Mrs. Jamen Mnrtanirh Af Vollv'a

county Jail under $1,300 ball for making
threats against Joseph Eastman, his
neignDor, yesterday made Mr. and Mrs
Eastman HefpnHnnta in a mm nf arm.

THE BOOTH MEETING.
Has Nothing to Do with Starting an
Armory Fund.
It Is likely that tomorrow night's
isooui meeting in Kim fark church will
be attended by an audience that will
completely till the seating capacity of
me largest eamce. liotn Balllngton
TV'th nnd Mrs. Tooth will he nrcsnnt.
The Booths will speak especially of
me cause i.t the American Volunteers.
The supporters of the organization wish
to have corrected the statement that
tho meeting has to do with starting a
fund to build a Volunteer armory In
this city. They say the meeting has no
significance beyond that of putting
forward the Volunteer cause In a gen
eral way.
