In a nutshell it la proposed to build
one long artery along Waahlngton ave
nue, from- one end of the city to the
other and extend branch belt Unea to
serve Nay Aug Park. Petersburg. Green
ttldge. Providence-, Weat Side, Bellevue,
th flat and South Side. Every line is
to be a belt line and there will be no
such thing as waiting on switches,
each car being designed to make a cir
cuit on its single track branch, and
come Into the city on its double track.
First class cars, rails and ot her equip
ments are promised.
The ordinance provides that the con
struction of the road shall begin within
one year, and be completed within two
years after the passage of the ordin
ance, otherwise the right to build upon
any of the streets or avenues, not
then completed, shall cease and become
forfeited to the city. It also specifies
that the company shall give a bond
within fifteen days, that it will observe
all the conditions of the measure.
ONLY STRIKING DIFFERENCE..
About the only striking difference be
tween this ordinance and the franchise
ordinances now in vogue is a provis
ion that on the fifteenth day ot January
of each year, the company shall pay
into the treasury the sum of 12 for each
and every car in daily service, "In ac
cordance with an ordinance approved
Feb. 12. 1SS1" which quoted clause the
new company will call councils' atten
tion to. with a reminder that the old
company has never regarded it.
As will be noticed above, the Citliens'
company proposes to occupy some thor
oughfares. In fact a great many, on
which the Traction company operates
lines or which they control by fran
chise, Roaring brook bridge being one of
the moBt notlcable instances. This is
where the big fight Is going to center.
It is by virtue of the famed Valley
Passenger franchises that the Traction
company occupies or claims the streets
whereon these conflicts will occur.
These franchises, the Citizens' company
holds, are Invalid and by legal pro
cedure will be declared null and void.
Their contention is that the Valley Pas
senger ordinance, contrary to the locally
accepted claim, was not revived In 1895,
first because It could not be revived by
the process adopted a supplementary
ordinance; secondly, It forfeited its
charter rights, according to a recent
supreme court decision, when It failed
to complete Its connecting lines, up and
down the valley, which It proposed to do
In Its application for a charter; thirdly,
It forfeited its franchises because it
failed to revive Its charter rights when
in 18fi5 it allowed them to become for
feited by its neglect to take advantae
of them within the two years specified.
This Is the Cltlsens' company side of
the case, but the Traction company
doubtlessly has some arguments of Its
own and when the time comes a red hot
legal battle will doubtlessly ensue.
The new company met yesterday af
ternoon and organized by electing W. L.
Connell, president; C. H. Schadt, treas
urer, and P. J. Horan, secretary. These
with P. S. Page and H. H. Archer, the
other two stockholders, compose the
directorate. H. H. Archer is to be the
general manager of the new company.
SOME ALDERMANIC CASES.
Batch of Actions in the Eighth Ward
Court Yesterday.
Jones & McCard, two picture peddlers,
and their wives are having their trou
bles. The men recently had wage
claims filed against them, and yester
day the wives got mixed in a legal broil
with their landlady, Mrs. Annie Dunn,
who keeps boarders at the corner of
Lackawanna and Franklin avenues.
When Mrs. Dunn discovered yester
day that Mrs. Jones was preparing to
leave without first settling an unpaid
bill, she objected, whereupon Mrs. Mc
Card, the wife of the other picture ped
dler, and the landlady met in violent
conflict. The result was a hearing be
fore Alderman Millar. Mrs. Jones was
charged with attempt to defraud and
was held In 1200 ball on her own recog
nizance. Mrs. McCard could not furnish
$800 ball to answer In court the charge
of assault and battery, and spent last
night In the central station house.
Another of the alderman's subjects
was Morgan Davis, a West Slder, who
purchased an outfit of clothes on credit
at Samter Bros, and then started on a
pre-arranged journpy for Europe. He
got as far as the Lackawanna depot.
Davis agreed to settle, and his American-made
outfit valued at i-G will now
be displayed before his friend In Wales
as worth that sum and an American
alderman's line.
A worm will turn and so will an Inof
fensive match peddler. Philip Kesslcr
is one of the latter. He displayed his
wares in Patrick GIbney'B West Lacka
wanna avenue saloon yesterday. Glb
ney was in a playful mood and hypothe
cated a box of matches and the match
merchant obtained from Alderman Mil
lar a warrant for Glbney's arrest, al
leging larceny and assault and battery.
The saloon man waived a hearing and
furnished ball to Alderman Kellow, of
the West Side.
In the afternoon there was a remind
er of the mysterious shooting of Wil
liam Gurd near the Boies Wheelworks,
last summer. Mrs. Gurd complained
that her brother-in-law, Albert Gurd,
recently released from the Huntington
reformatory, had become violent and
she feared for his reason. Gurd, who
Is 20 years old, was locked in the central
police station last night and will be
examined this morning.
Attorney Frank T. Okell and Con
stable Tatrlck Roche, of the Seventh
ward, were each held in 1200 ball on a
charge of forcible entry preferred by a
Mr. Purvis, of Linden street. Mrs.
Prrvls keeps a boarding house and
early in the week the lawyer and con
stable entered the house for the pur
pose of removing the effects of a couple
who owed a board bill. The men had a
bill of sale for the goods. They en
tered the premises despite Mrs. Pur
vis' protests. Her husband did not
reach home until yesterday and on
hearing of the occurence caused tne
constable's and attorney's arrest.
BELGIAN BLOCK GOES.
Mayor Bailey Signs the West Side
Paving Ordinance.
The ordinance for paving Ninth, Rob-
Inson and Jackson streets with Belgian
block and Its accompanying ordinance
prescribing the grade of those thorough
fares were yesterday signed by Mayor
Bailey.
He also signed ordinances provldln
for sewers on Capouse avenue, between
New York Btreet and Fourteenth tils
trlct main sewer; portions of Sanderon
avenue, Fordham court. New York
street, Monsey avenue and Penn avenue
near New York street.
GOOD NIGHT.
Good night. Good night. Ah,- good the
night
That wraps thee In Its silver light.
Good night. No night Is good for me
That does not hold a thought of thee.
Good, night. ;

Commander and Sirs. Balliagton
Booth Explain the Causes and
Wherefore of the American Volun

Accompanied ThemTheir Visit
Was in the luterest of the Movement
in Scranton.
Commander and Mrs. Balllngton
Booth and Major Trumble of New York,
leaders ot the American Volunteer
movement, arrived in Scranton at 1.15
yesterday afternoon. They were met
at the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western station by Captain Hannah
Masland and Lleutenunt Nellie Green,
who have charre of the movement in
Scranton, and by Colonel and Mrs. H.
M. Botes. The distinguished visitors
were escorted to carriages which con
veyed them to dinner at the Boles resi
dence. In the late afternoon Com
mander Booth and Major Trumble were
tendered a reception at the Young Men's
Christian Association rooms; Mrs.
Booth was given a parlor reception by
Mrs. Botes, at which a large number ot
ladies were present and a post of the
Defenders' League was organized.
The coming ot the Booths was signal
ized by a greeting which In numbers
and enthusiasm It would be difficult to
Burpnss; und the visitors accepted It
with keen appreciation. At 8 o'clock
In the evening Elm Park church with its
spacious auditorium and galleries was
unable to seat the numbers that passed
through its doors. A Bteady stream of
people was entering from 7.HD until It
o'clock und after all the seats and chairs
wore occupied hundreds were obliged to
avail themselves ot standing room only.
At 8 o'clock Commander and Mrs.
Booth, Major Trumble, Captain Man
land and Lieutenant Green entered the
church and took seats at the altar.
Rev. James McLeod, D. D., pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, an
nounced the hymn, "Onward, Christian
Soldier," in which the congregation
joined, and after It was sung, Dr. Mc
Leod Invoked divine blessing. Colonel
Boies Introduced Commander Booth In
felicitous way and called him the
George Washington of the second revo
lution.
COMMANDER BOOTH'S ADDRESS.
The speaker assured his hearers that
the reception accorded to Mrs. Booth
and himself pleased them very highly.
He Bald that for ten years past they had
been carrying on a mission In this
country and were the recipients of
prayer and assurances that were gener
ously bestowed and they were enabled
to accomplish untold good in the work
of uplifting men and women to God.
However long was the distance from
one place to another in establishing
posts of the Salvation Army, they al
ways found a willing Bplrit among the
people which compentated for the trials
that confronted them.
He has been frequently asked of late
If he Is out of the Salvation Army. Up
to Jan. 6 of this year Mrs. Booth and
himself were in command of the army
In the United States, which comprised
a representation of over one million ad
herents, with 2,000 posts among 500
cities of the country. On the morning
of Jan. 6 he received a letter from the
International center Informing him that
he must make ready to take his fare
wells and sever hi relations with the
army in this country. The letter was a
great surprise. It ordered him to re
port In England and said his Buccessor
would be ou hund to assume the duties
of commander.
Commander Booth submitted to the
International center a plan which he
would agree to; namely, that he should
go to England to consult with the lead
ers there and Mrs. Booth would remain
behind In charge of the army. He sub
mitted othor terms that he considered
equitable, for It was hard to sever his
relations so summarily with his posts
here. The international center refused
to listen to him, and on Jan. 31 he wrote
another letter refusing to go to Eng
land, and that nlghf stepped from the
army, trusting in God, but without any
idea of starting a new movement.
LETTERS CAME FROM ALL PARTS.
They needed physical rest, and Pro
ceeded to enjoy a brief vacation. But
within a few days from all parts of the
country there came an avalanche of let
ters, from high and low, men in ecclesi
astical, municipal and state life, exhoit-
ing them not to rtlre to private life, but
to take a stand, with the assurance and
support of the American people. New
names were suggested. Some urged
them to take "Spiritual Giants," others
recommended "Christian Crusaders,
and still others "Modern Israelites,"
but the title, "Volunteers of America."
was Buggested, and It comprehended so
much that it was readily adopted.
Twelve weeks ago the Volunteer
movement held its first service in
Cooper Institute, New York, and on the
following morning headquarters were
opened up In two small rooms In the
Bible bulldeitig. At present there are
65 posts, 9 battalions, and headquarters
were opened last Monday In Union
Square building. Ten thousand square
feet of floor space are occupied; 45 offi
cers are In charge, the movement owns
Its printing plant, and the Volunteer Gar
zette. In circulation only eight weeks,
has 20,000 paid subscribers.
There are those dear friends, the crit
ics, however, who predict that the
movement may not be successful. Like
an old lady who was Invited to see the
first steam enelne. She said that It
could never be a success, and when she
sow the engine hiss and sputter and ihe
steam propel the piston rods, she
Jumpd off the track and exclaimed that
It could not be stopped. But with the
motive power of the Holy Ghost the
movement will go on for the salvation
of souls and the glory of God.
NOT OF HIS OWN SEEKING.
The speaker said he was not out ot
the Salvation army of his own seeking
he would be In it yet If It were Ameri
can. He was born In England, but that
was an accident; he was not consulted
In the matter and could not help It.
When he saw that the army was to be
governed by a foreign power, he knew
that the time was approaching when
once and for all time the movement
should be separated from the domlna
tlon of foreign rule, but should be di
rected by some one who knew American
ways, and studied the American consti
tution.. It is true that they have lost
all the property,1' and have lost many
workers who stood shoulder to shout
der, but this country, with Its 75,000.900
population- Is - large and expansive
enough for two movements to live to
gether both In its own Bphere under .he
umbrella of uncle Sam.
It muBt not be supposed, he said, be
cause a man has committed crimes that
the punishment ot which places him be
hind the walls of the penitentiary, he
is less intelligent than before his fall.
These are waiting, he said, to hear
again the simple story of the cross;
and that will be the mission of the
movement, to reach men's hearts, for
In this country no classes or castes are
recognized. The movement will go on
with the sympathy of the American
people and the principles ot righteous
ness, though it meets with opposition,
persecution, or even death.
Commander Booth was applauded
frequently during his address, which
contained bursts ot eloquence and
patriotism. He Introduced his wife and
testified that she has been an inde
fatigable worker for. the Master, and
has rendered him Invaluable assistance.
MRS. BOOTH'S ADDRESS.
She possesses a ready How of eloquent
language and spoke in animated utyie,
creating a favorable impression from
the start She thanked them cordially
for the generosity of the people of
Scranton in the reception tendered to
herself and husband, not only ou this
visit,-but when they were here several
years ago before.
Dark has been the prospect for the
success of the movement, she said, but
now it Is out in the ocean of God's love,
away from the dangerous billows of tr.e
coast. She said that the movement will
work principally among the fallen ones
of God's creatures and in the jails and
penitentiaries.
A very generous collection was taken
up and the visitors will leave this morn
ing at 8 o'clock for New York with
pleasant and edifying recollections of
their visit to Scranton. They came
here to explain the American Volunteer
movement and to give it an Impetus.
RECEPTION TO THE BOOTHS.

tion was tendered Commander Booth

IT IS FOOLISH to suppose that a piano
at this price Is afirtt class one, or Is
equal toothers for more money; or that
you can purchase cheaper el outride

the place to go Is where you can find
an assortment and buy of dealers who
