A volume for the guidance and Infor mation of summer travelers has Just been issued by the passenger depart ment of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company. The title of It is "Summering on the Lackawan na." In the introduction the purpose of the volume is set forth as follows: "The Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad company,' In Issuing its summer excursion book for 1898, places before the traveling public, and particularly before the vacationists, holiday seekers, and those who are In search of a summer resort, a complete register of all the rural and urban spots In which the summer months may be advantageously spent, available in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, along their line, between the cities of New York and Buffalo. A de scription of each place Is given, much space being devoted to such among them as rank as summer resorts of na tional fame. "A feature that will commend itself at once is the exhaustive list ot routes and rates that Is given, and which can be utilized In connection with tickets purchased Via the Lackawanna road; and these in search of rest, recreation, or sport have only to glance over these pages, and from among the many moun tain, lake and river resorts described, as well as those where wealth and fashion reign supreme, select a place to their taste." The work is profusely Illustrated and handsomely printed. WILL BRING THEM TO TIME. Mr. Clurk Proposes to Pitch Into the Traction Company. , At the next meeting of select council, M. E. Clark, of the Sixth ward, will in troduce an ordinance Imposing a tax of $100 a year on eucn car running on the Traction company's lines through the newly annexed Bellevue district. This action will be taken for the pur pose of forcing the company to abolish the double fore which It Is now charg ing on that line. Ths company acquired the right of way through Bellevue be fore It was made a part of the Sixth ward and claims the right to collect an extra fare from oil who cr.nt'.nue on the car outside the boundary of the Fif teenth ward, which was the old city line. r. Clarke and those compelled to use that portion of the line c?nter.d that the company, according to the pro visions of Its franchise, hns no right to charge two fares within the city limits, and while It may have a legal right to make an extra charge In this particular case, morally It should not and If they can prevent it, will not. The company having refused to grant the petitions of the people, Mr. Clurke proposes to take measures that will compel them to do so.

The Crystal Fire company. No. i, cele brated the twenty-third anniversary of Its organization with a banquet at Tropp'a hotel, on Lackawanna avenue, last night. Nearly all the members of the company and many prominent guests. Including several city officials, were present and enjoyed the exception ally good time that is so characteristic of this yearly event. The tables were set in the dining room on the second floor front and were arranged In the shape ot a cross. Presi dent D. J. Newman sat at the head. At his right in the seat of honor sat Rob ert Robinson, select councilman from the Eleventh, who as chairman of the fire department commutes In the lower branch championed the Crj'rtaH in their little differences with ex-Muyor Connell and the city lost summer. Foreman Harvey Long occupied the second post, the seat to the left of the president, andbelow these two, accord ing to their rank or prominence sat the following members and invited guests: Harry Hermans, vice-president; Thep- dore Fahrenholt, first assistant fore man; Wallace Molr, second assistant foreman; A. M. Aylsworth, treasurer; C. E. Tropp, secretary; Select Council man Wade M. Finn, George Connor, Oeorge Carroll, Frank Scholl, George Becker. W. P. Welchel, John Lilly, Dan iel Martin, Harry Storms, Charles dea ler. William Martin. J. L. Moser, H. P. Wilcox, Henry Htnes, H. T. Thomas, Joseph Schorr, W. G. Ferber, T. J. Nor ton, George MeLeod, Fred. F. Scho?n, P. F. Kllmnitin, Robert Marshall. W. H. Davis, E. A. Xeedham, Henry Klefer and Isaac Tice. After creating an Immense void In Mine Host Tropp's well stocked larder, regrets were read from Chief P. J. Hickey and ex-Chief It. F. Ferber and then President Newman, who was chos en toastmaster, called on various mem bers of the company for entertainment of the soulful kind. Speeches were made by Councilman Robinson, Fore man Long, Messrs. Schoen, Connors, Wilcox, Scholl, Molr, Kllmartln and oth ers and Harry Storms gave a recitation. The festivities were at their height when the alarm from box 24 sounded, and It came within an ace of breaking up the banquet. Foreman Long locked the door to the banquet hall, put the key in his pocket and calmly told them to sit down, that they couldn't go to any fire that night. When quiet had been restored he ex plained that Chief Hickey had allowed them to go out of service for one night. This settled matters somewhat, but there was a very decided spirit of rest lessness evident until the "fire out" taps were sent in. Miss Pardee's Store Sold. Deputy Sheriff F. E.
