J. SCOTT INDUS, mf.hm
From tho Stroudsburg Times.
Tho Central Itallrond company has con
verted Beveral cars Into blcyelo vans.
Ueglnnlng Monday last the Lackawan
na put on a through tialn to Chicago. Tho
time Is twenty-six hours.
Tho Delaware, Lackawanna and 'West
ern railroad Intend to make their road be
tween Morrlstown and Doer a double
track.
The Delaware, Lickawanna and West
ern shops In Hallstead havo been placed
on seven hours' tltr.o Instead of eight
hours, as heretofore.
A cheap excursion rate to New York
on April 27, in order to seo tho parade, will
bo given by tho New York, Susquehanna
and Western railroad.
Tho 400 men who were laid off at tho
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western car
shops at Dover some ttmo ago have been
taken tack and are wet king eight hour3 a
day and six das a. week.
Tho Delaware, Lackawanna nnd West
ern recently lost tho shipment of a 3,000
pound hippopotamus, because It hadn't a
car door large enough to accommodate tho
beast. Tho United States Express com
pany had contracted to take It to Chicago
for J2C0, and It was finally sent over tho
lhiltlmore and Ohio road, after crossing
tho river thieo times.
The new rallrcad mileage actually built
In the United States In lfW was 1.S02 mlU-3,
the record In 1S03 being almost exactly tho
same 1,803 miles. These nro tho smallest
figures slnco ns far back ns 16,73, when tho
country was Just recovering from a groat
panic, and when the new railroads built
measured only 1,711 miles.
Tho laying off of so many carpenters,
car workers and helpers tho past two or
threo menths and accountants recently,
of tho Delaware, Lackawanna and West
cm company, has been a great surprise,
but lightning continues to stiiko and ten
out of sixteen carpenters In a repair gang
were laid off, ten machtnlstH and ouo
boiler-maker. It Is presumed tho gicat
loss and expected cxpeno at tho Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western mines In
tho Wyoming valley recently, has had
something to do with tho retrenchment
now going on.

It's a daily question, "Wliy are we able to ofl'er goods at prices low
er ilian others?" Ic's simply this: We arc doing business on a wholesale scale,
buying in en .rmous qu mtitie for sp )t cash, not always in a regular way, but
iVom concerns in need of ready money. Then we arc satislieil with a small
profit. Uesides our business is growing larger everyday, for tlio reison that
we keep faith with the pe ple. Goods always go at the prices advertised. It is
such unapproachable prices as the following that hive made us famous, and
this week's great values will further tend to spread our fame.
