NEW TRANSFER
SYSTEM TODAY
Passengers Must Now Get Aboard at Cer
tain Points.
COMPANY IS PROTECTING ITSOLF
And tho Claim In .Undo Tlmt Transit
Will Ilo rncilllnted-. Whcro tho
Transfer In Issued tho l'asscngor
Must Ilonrd the Second Cnr--Two
New Light-Wheel Cnrs of tho Stcnm
llnllrond Typo Aro iu tho City.
Beginning with today the Scranton
Hallway company will Institute: new
transfer rules and will Issue a new
series of transfer tickets. The arrange
ment differs very little from the trans
fers In use for tho past six months.
Superintendent Fox stnted last night
that the change Is made with the single
Idea of making the transfers recently
In vogue more easily understood by the
traveling public. The rules ns posted
In the dispatchers' office of the Hallway
company yesterday hear out Superin
tendent Fox's statement. The time
limit one-half hour will He retnlned,
ns also will the custom of Issuing trans
fer tickets nt only certain points on the
line.
As will bo remembered, the cause of
tho change six months ago was born In
the practice of clerks who live In oppo
site parts of the city. The scheme was
for one clerk to rldo Into the city and
upon paying five cents receive n trans
fer for a certain other part of the city
where her companion lived. This trans
fer would be given to clerk No. 2, who
would ride home on a Traction car
gratis.
TWO AR11ESTED.
Two young lady clerks, one from the
West Side and one from tho South Side,
were arrested us "examples." Soon
afterward the new transfer was sent
out. This was that curious-looking,
mnny-shaded ticket with a row of
faces along tho top edge. These trans
fers were Issued nt only certain points
on the lines and have worked with
much satisfaction.
Hut now comes another step. Several
weeks ugo a young man named Gurrell,
living on Ninth street, was ousted from
a North Main avenue car because ho
had a transfer punched "Hyde Park."
The rules of the company stated that
a transfer good for North Main avenue
must be stamped "North Main." "Hyde
Park" would not be accepted. Gurrell
did not know this nnd hoarded a North
Main avenue cnr. Gurrell made objec
tions, with the result that he was forc
ibly ejected from the car. He brought
suit against the company, but Alder
man Wright, after a hearing, dismissed
the case. It was to do away with simi
lar misunderstandings that the new
transfers are Issued.
In form they nre similar to the old
one, only the familiar faces are not on
It. The marks, the solving of which
was known only to conductors, will be
eliminated nnd Instead tho transfers
will be marked with the names of the
several lines. The line giving the
trnnsfer, as well as the line to receive
It, will bo punched, so that there can
ho no mistake made by the passenger.
THE NEWEST WRINKLE.
The claim of the Traction poople that
the new transfers ore wholly for tho
benefit of their patrons Is counteracted
by one of the rules which makes It Im
perative for a person with a transfer
to not only leave a car at a certain
point hut to also board the other car at
the same point. A conductor receiving
a transfer will then know that the
passenger has at least hoarded the car
at the point where the transfer was re
ceived. This reduces to a minimum the
char.ces to "beat tho company." Last
night the old transfers were removed
from the dispatchers' oflice and the
new ones will be ready for the con
ductors this morning.
Saturday two of the new street cars
arrived nnd aro now at tho Linden
street ham to be- equipped. The new
ears have two trucks and 8 wheels and
are a, great advancement over the old.
In point of beauty they equal any car
In the country. Each Is about thirty
six feet lone', the body lelng twenty
eight feet. On each side there are
eleven windows of fine clear-cut glass
and the seats, nine on each side, tun
In the fashion of railway car seats.
Each seat Is cushioned with cane bot
tom and Kicks and will seat two per
sons. The seats are reversible so that
ths passenger may face the direction of
tho movinir car.
In the centre of the car Is a two-foot
aisle. The bell cord is hund in the
centre as In passenger coaches. At
night the cars will be lighted by nine
electric lights. The platforms on each
end nre vestlbulcd and are large and
spacious. The car can easily run the
tracks now In use.
MORE NEW CARS.
Yesterday they were equipped with
general electric motors of an advanced
pattern. They will be placed on trial
In a few days. Eight other cars sim
ilar In construction will arrive within
a month.

Large Quantity licing Shipped Hero
from tho C'olehrook Furnaces.
The following dispatch was received
by Tho Tribune last night:
Lebanon, Pa., July 21. Orders have been
received from the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company, of Scranton, for tho ship
ment to that place of all the first class
pig Iron at Colebrook furnaces. Thou
saml of tons of iron are piled at the fur
naces, and it Is being shipped as fast as
possible.
Tho dispatch Is misleading in Ita fail
ure to mention tho fact that the Colt
brook furnaces are owned by the Lack
awanna Iron and Steel company. Gen
cral Manager Wehrum Bald to a Trib
une reporter last night: "We have no
over-abundanco of piling rjm at the
Colebrook furnace3 but we have room
h'-re and tho shipments mentioned In
tho dispatch have no significance. It
l.s being brought hero for stock use and
because we havo room for it."
Mr. Wehrum stated that no largo
steel orders had been received.
SUNDAY M0RNINQ FIRE.
Did Slight Damngu in Peddler I'lrc
ntiiiu'M Raymond Court Homis
When Jacob Flrestlne, a peddler of
S21 Raymond court, left homo early
yesterday morning to take his family
for a drive he left everything In the
rooms they occupy In a safe condition.
Upon his return at 4 o'clock tho an
peurance of nt least one room had
changed.
In tho family's absence lire 'broke out
among the peddler's outfit In a corner
of a room on the first lloor. An
alarm was sent in from box 23 about
8.30 o'clock but the (lames were put
out before the fir companies had w
rived. Tho Nay Augs, Crystals and
Chemicals responded.
The dnmagc was slight. Tho house
Is owned by A. Hlttenbender nnd Is
insured. The upper lloor Is occupied
by Meyer Burke, brother-iti-law to
Flrestlne.
IT CAUSED AN ALARM.
The Chimney l'liiu Wns Dnmp nnd
Did .Not Urnw Well,
An alarm wna sent In from box No.
15 nt C.BO last evening, and responded
to by the Chemicals, Crystals and Nay
Augs. Their services were, however,
not required, as tho smoke which had
been seen Issuing from F. C. Dlmler's
1-arber shop, on Lackawnnna avenue,
was owing to the flue not carrying It
out of the stove.
The shop Is below tho sldewnlk level,
and beneath McGarrah & Thomas' drug
store, and there was much excitement
for some moments. Tho utility boy
had been attempting to start a tire
In the store and the smoke had all cotuo
Lnck Into the room.
In responding the Chemli.-aU nar
rowly escaped a wreck at tho Lacka
wanna avenue bridge. The asphalt at
the end of the bridge la very damp
nnd slippery and In rounding the turn
at that point one of the grays went
down nnd slid nearly across the street.
Good horsemanship and a well-trnlned
horse happily prevented anything se
rious, and tho company came on to Che
lire with scarcely any loss of time.
DR. PEARCE PREACHED.
Former Elm Park Pastor Greeted by a
Large Number of Ills Old
Parislioncrs.
A large congregation greeted Rev. t)r.
W. H. Pearce, of tho First Methodist
church, WIIkes-Barre, as ho occupied
his old pulpit at Elm Park yesterday.
His morning subject was from tho text
Hebrews. 11:26: "Esteeming the re
proach of Christ greater riches than
the treasures In Egypt, for ho had re
spect unto the recompense and the re
ward." The sermon was a series of lessons
drawn from the life of Moses, his aban
donment of luxury and assumption of
responsibility that led him through dif
ficulties and suffering, and his won
derful endurance because of the vision
ever In his mind of the future of his
race. Moses by his military prowess,
his executive ability, his moral balance
and many other attributes, Dr. Penrco
remarked, was about the largest speci
men of a man over made In the image
of God.
When he found out, we know not
how, the story of his life nnd when he
realized that the swarthy Hebrews
working In the sun moulding bricks
beneath the oppression of a cruel task
master were his kinsmen, he hesitated
not to yield his place In the luxuries
of Pharaoh's court and go forth to their
rescue. Many brave men and great
leaders bent their energies to the eman
cipation of the southern slaves, but
this one man Elngle-hanclod took upon
himself tho task of liberating a nation
and accomplished the mighty deeds
that causes him to stand in the fore
most place of earth.
UNIVERSAL LIBERTY.
Where do we ilnd an explanation of
this one man's power and endurance?
It Is because he saw through the years
the dream of universal liberty, the rec
ompense and reward, and endured the
weary marches through the wilderness;
because the hope of that landscape fair
and fruitful that lay beyond, endured
the tremendous care and responsibility
because of the triumph at the end.
There have been, remarked Dr.
Penrce, many who saw -lieybnd the
present a vision of tho future nnd Its
recompense. Socrates, Savonarola, John
IIuss, Luther, John Brown.Cyrus Field,
Livingstone with a large outlook saw
the reward to come after the martyr
dom, the toll, the tears and discourage
ments. We who seek something from
the great work of life should look afar
and beyond the dearth, the penury of
today nnd see tho years of abundance
to come.
We shall be messengers of Joy, watch
ing for the time when swords aro
beaten Into plow shares, when the last
war cloud shall roll away, leaving the
sunshine of perpetual peace and broth
erhood. Looking at the church In a larger
way as something more than nn ordi
nary association, something better thnn
a confederation of persons, hut a living
body containing tho mystical pulse of
Jesus, we shall work for the church of
tho future, not In a selllsh, penurious,
half-hearted way, but with a wide com
prehension outliving the life that now
Is to something enduring, eternal.
SABBATH NEWS NOTES.
Rev. Dr. H. H. Harris, pastor of the

Tho 7 1-2 Per Cent. Itcbntc on Brew

Sugar, In Scranton, at least, Is not

about to escape the new tariff rate.
The Dlngley bill provides for the can
cellation of the 7H per cent, discount
In vogue for many years upon revenue
stamps purchased by brewers. A tele
gram to that effect was received at the
Internal revenue office In this city Sat
urday. Tho Brewers sent messengers for
large quantities of the stamps required
by them In their business. This saves
thenf considerable for some tlmo to
come. Some purchases show as high as
$10,000 In one sum. As a result of this
rush here has changed hands about
$150,000 of stamps and the present sup
ply heieabouts was exhausted during
the day.

wide survey of nature in this region
and will reveal It In an entertaining
way In tho approaching Issue of Young
Men, the oillclal publication of the
Scranton Young Men's Christian asso
ciation. The Tribune has been favored with
advance sheets of the magazine which
contains Professor Plumley's nrtlcle on
"Pure Writer Forest Reservation." It
teems with many facts and much In
formation of the plcturesqueness of
Lackawanna's mountain region and
the article Is partly reproduced In the
belief that It will be read with unusu
al interest. Professor Plumley writes:
"To fall In love with the mountains
nnd the woods Is to love them nlways.
To live within sight of them and feel
their presence as wo work is a privi
lege that, In Scranton, will always be
ours. I believe that the Indifference
to tho preservation of the forests from
lire nnd tho wanton use of the axe Is
only a passing phase of our life as a
community, and thot, ns years go by,
wo shall all become true lovers of
God's trees.
UNDERESTIMATED ATTRACTIONS
"In opening up the Meadow Brook
valley by a fine caning road, W. W.
Scranton has prepared a genuine sur
prise for us all. Thousands who live
In this city have hardly dreamed that
wo had such an exquisite bit of moun
tain scenery lying Just beyond Nay
Aug and the boulevard to the south.
We have "begun to realize that our city
has attractions that have not been
taken at their worth.
"If we wera to take one of the old
lumber roads leading out of Meadow
Brook valley, toward tha south, above
Briar Brook, we should find ourselves
climbing n. long slope quite as high ns
our West mountains, commanding a
view of th' city and o. glimpse of the
country through the Notch, with Elk
mountain gradually lifting Its twin
peaks on the far horizon to the north.
There Is tome subtle association, due,
perhaps, to a night I spent under the
stars on Elk mountain many years
ago, that makes tho picture from one of
our mountains never vem quite com
plete until Its blue plnnncles rise to the
view. Old Elk has a way of sticking
up Its hornr. unexpectedly that is de
lightful to those who love Its charm
ing outlines. No ono who has looked
from Its summit upon the prospect of
fields and woods, orchards and lakes,
bounded by the mountains that rise
beyond the Susquehanna and our own
rangs, can catch d. glimpse of Elk
mountain without thinking of the del
ectable country over which it presides
like a calm goddess of the past.
"But I must let thU alluring moun
tain alone or I shall neglect what Is
nearer home. Our road will diminish
almost to a path long before we see
the narrow cleft through the hills
where Green Run makes Its way to
Spring Brook, a mile below. The 'run'
Is a line stream In the spring, but ow
ing to tho destruction of the forests it
dwindles In summer, Ono of thes" days
wo shall doubtless have a good carriage
road, following the course I have de
hor ibed, connecting Meadow Brook with
the Spring Brook valley. By that time,
perhaps, some of our boys will be opu
lent enousti to open a tnlly-ho route
from tho Hotel Jermyn to Moosic and
return. It will take a good 'whip' to
tool a coach over thesa hills and a
Mnunt'H drag with sound brakes but
the thing will lie done, nnd there will
be some glory In the doing of It. May
I be there to see the start, or to watch
the team as It cantew along tho boule
vard, or to listen to the echoes of the
horn ns they sound farther and farth
er down the winding valley of the
Srring Brook.
&LEIGH AND SNOW-SHOE.
"What will be the delights of a
sli'lgh ride over these heights crowned
with snow-laden hemlock, down into
the glen where the broad foliage of tho
rhododendron and deep green of the
spruce are almost brilliant through
snowy vlstcs? What of the fun of
snow shoeing (the snow lies deep In
these woods and will be deeper still
os tho forests are renewed) through
solitudes rarely Invaded In the sum

and Eastern railroad over Panther
creek to Its- opening near Moosic, Is
about ten mllen long. It has been al
most a wilderness since the railroad
from Moosic was abandoned many
years ago. Today there are hardly n
dozon houses In the whole valley, and
their number Is decreasing. Saw mill
and tannery havo disappeared nnd the
reservoirs of the Wuter company have
taken their place.
"It would be hard to exaggerate the
beauty of this whole region. For
neveral miles the brook drops down
through meadows fringe! with rhodod
endrons, beneath mountains covered
with flno trees. Valley after valley
opens and closes as the stream turns
from side to side on Its way through
mountains that are as high ns any In
this neighborhood. At a point near
Green Run the task of climbing to tho
top of a peak that overlooks Scranton
Is a serlDiia one. It Is, perhaps, the
stlffest bit of work anywhere, about,
liut tlis outlook from the summit is a
noble one.
"The Spring Brook company is tak
ing measures to prevent fires. The
men who direct it are far too Intelligent
not to appreciate the importance of
making every effort to preserve and
restore tho timber. It can he done.
Already on many a water-course there
Is the denccst growth of young hem
lock, making Impenetrable copses of
vivid green. It is hard to conceive of
anything finer than those fern-like
masses of evergreen foliage with their
promise of future majestic timber.
Tho revenue that these com panics may
derive from tree planting is absolutely
certain. That they will see this nnd
employ expert foresters Is only a ques
tion of tlmo. In the meantime, tho
.cutting of young hemlocks for decora
tion of porches and door-yards, In win
ter time, ought to be p-jvented.
FOREST DESECi VTION.
"Tens of thousands of young trees
are swept from tha sides of tho moun
tnlr.s every winter In a way that Is
simply barbarous. Thos who love the
woods look upon tho whole business
with disgust. Over In Spruce Swamp
most of the spruces have been hacked
to pieces by the people who earn a
few dollars by decorating city yards.
If those who possess good taste as well
an wealth, will frown upon this silly
fashion, It will die out, but none too
socn.
"The title of these rambling obser
vations Is Intended to pique the curios
ity cf the render. May we dignify a
bit of woodland with such a title? We
may with the utmost propriety. I do
not know how closely the lines of the
wuter companies lie, but they are no
where far apart, and must touch for
a considerable distance. The holdings
of until aggregate the enormous total
of more than 16,000 acres of land and
water twenty-five square miles, of
mountain nnd forest dedicated for ages
to come to hoarding a limitless supply
ol delicious water for the people of this
nnd the adjoining valley. I do not
know whose brain conceived a project
so vast and so beneficent, but he Is
worthy of 'enduring bronze,' or,' what
Is better, of grateful remembrance for
all the years. That this splendid do
main shall not only furnish pure water
but shall 13 a recreation ground more
beautiful than Is open to any other city
In the couutry seems already an as
tured fact.
"Wo have only to let the news go out
to other cities to be envied far and
near. What have Chicago and the
Greater New York to pay to a forest
park, diversified by mountalns.streoms,
lakes, shadowy gler.s and dewy mead
ows covering twenty-five square miles!
We wait to hear from them.
"Most earnestly I commend to the
people of this city, and especially to
those who have a financial interest In
these companies, the consideration ot
the responsibilities that are Involved In
this great trust. In no way can they
secure for this city a larger prosperity
than in preserving and making beau
tiful this rnngnitlcent forest reserva
tion. To do Justice to this theme is
quite out of the question, In this Is
sue. To other abler pens I resign a
subject that deserves, I think, the full
est consideration nnd discussion."
