the Scranton Railway Com
panyElegant Vestibule Trolley

There is probably no city In the
country that under existing conditions
onloya bettor facilities for rapid tran
sit than docs Scranton today, under
the son-ico the Scranton Railway
company. Profiting by years of experi
ment tlio olllclal3 of the Traction com
pany have brought the street car serv
ice of the Electric City to a state near
lng piefectlun that is not equalled in
many ritlns of the slzo of Scranton.
The giowth of street railway inter
ests In Scranton forms on Interesting
chapter In th'o history of Its marve
lous pi ogress. The first street railway
was. Incorporated in 1SGG, when A. B.

A. Bennett and Samuel Raub were ,
authorized to conduct a. service under The Scranton F.asenger Railway
name, Ftylo and title of the "Peoples company was organized In April 1SS3,
Street Railway Company of Luzerne with incorporations as follows: Charl
County." They were allowed the right ' es L Chittenden, Melvin I. Corbott,
to lay trades from near Scranton to i Louis A. Watres, Arthur Christy, and
Providence and Hyde Park. The road Alex J. Connell. This company built
which was equipped with two 11-foot and operated a. road running from
ono-horse cats was the pride of the en- I Lackawanna to Plttston avenue which

of the visiting rustic who threaded In ISOC the various companies above
our thoroughfares a quarter of a cen- I mentioned were leased by the People's
tury or mora ngo. The cars madii
bout ly trips and the fare was ten
cents. In March 1SGU tho "Scranton
and Providence Passenger Railway
company" was organized by George
Sanderson, Jacob Robinson, George S.

ram cs S. Slocum, and William Chit
le;
nden. The two companies consolidat-
i ed tn 1S6S and were operated under the
Inamo of The People's Street Ratlwnv
j company. The difficulties encounter .
In opniatins the read wore many,
eppeclaly In the winter time wh'en for
days during the storm periods It was
' necessary to abandon tho tracks en
tirely and carry passengers In large
I skighs. Passengers were often con
veyed on 1 miners on tho Providence
' line up to 1SS7, after electricity had
necn introduced on some of the lines
of the city.
The ear lSSO marked an Important
epoch in the history of Scranton. It
was during that year that the Scran
ton Suburban Railway was organized
which was the second street railway
I In the world to adopt electricity as n.
niotivo power. Tho capital stock of
this road was divided into 400 shares
' at fifty dolnrs each which were sub
scribe d as follows: Mary A. Dickson,
eighty shares, $1,000; George Sander
fon, sixty shares; $3,000; Edward B.
(Jturgos, trustee, sixty shares, $3,000;
Fdward U. Sturgas, nlnty shares,
SMUu; John L. Hull, twenty shares,
Sl.OfiO; Tlmnas F. Torry, twenty shares,
SI, COO; Orlando S. Johnson, twenty
i Mmres, $1,000; William E. Watklns,
twenty shares, $1,000; James W. Gar
iney, ten shares, $500; J. Benjamin Dlm
j mi ok, ten shares, $300; Ambrose L.
Sppiirer, ten shares, $500. Tracks were
. laid from the Lackawanna Valley
house on Franklin avenue to Spruce
stieet; to Adams avenue and up Adams
and Washington avenues to tho cor
ner of Washington avenue and Green
l.idqo street. Tho road was equipped
vita two cars which wero propelled
by 1 lumsy motors, the Invention of
1 Vr. VanDeople. Trolley poles were
I unheard of at that time and the pow
er was conveyed from tho overhead
who to the motor by means of a wire
! which was kept in place a portion of
I tho time liy means of a little wheel
J which was balanced on the feed wire.
j As a result the trolly wa3 as liablo
to bo on the street as In its proper
placo the most of the time, and at-
tempts to make fust time on the road
wore met uy many uiscouragmg re
sults. Tho trial trips wero first made on
tho new road In November 2.1ES0. The
day was unpropltlous. The chilly
breezes of November were augmented
by fulling snow and rain, and tho slx
iueh covering of Adums avenue mud
that surrounded the tracks seemed also
to frown on the enterprise. But citi
zens generally weie Interested and
gathered along the lino in large nuin
bois aa the first trip was made and
gased In wonderment as tho cars mov
ed rapidly along propelled by the mys
terious power that seemed to partake
of witchcraft. As aoon as Mr. Van
Deople had demonstrated that the cars
would run, everybody was Invited to
take a lido free. Many of tho timid
ciusa wero unable to gather tsufllcient,
courage to risk a rido on the vehiclo
which they thought might suddenly
annihllato them at any moment, by
a -shock of cleftrlclty, but tho young
er element enjoyed tho treat and all
day long tho new cars wero crowded
by willing passenger who weio loud
In their pralso of the new system.
Many dilllculties however, awaited
tho projectors of th'e now enterprise.
The patrorttga was all that could be
deplrcd from the start, but tho elec
tric motor invention was yet In its In
fancy and the machines furnished
wero crude in tho cxtronif. With the
loose trolly cord and bungling motors
tho car runners liad their hands full
and it was Impossible to make trips
on any kind of regular time. Tho
hoi'BQ car magnates found much' to
sustain their therorles that tho elec
tric pystem would be a failure in tho
troubles of the new railroad company
dining tho following winter.

another company was organised which
h:id capital stock of fifty thousand
dollars divided as follows: T. C. Snov
er, 100 shares; G. Clark, 100 shares;
B. E. Leonard, 300 shares; II. C. Doud,
100 shares; Victor Koch, 100 shares;
Charles Robinson, 100 shares; M. II.
Dale, 100 shares; C. L. Mcrcercau, 100
(.hares. Letters patent were issued In
Dec 3, 1SSC. The now company was
known aa th'o Nay Aug Crosstowit
Railway company and operated a road
running from Adams avenue up Linden
and Mulberry streets to Nay Aug
Falls. On May 21, 1SS9, the Suburban
and Crosstown linos were merged into
one, known as the Suburban Railway
company
Street Railway company, which had
in the meantime adopted electricity.
and the entire pystem was conducted
under one management. Many im
provements In the road were made
nt this time, and the consolidation was
beneficial to the public in many ways.
H

TROLLEY CAR.
The road again changed hands in 1S13,
when the entire system, including the
lines of The Valley Passenger Railway
company; the Scranton and Pittston
Traction compai B; the Scranton and
'"arbondale Traction company, and the
. Lackawanna Valley Trastion company.
pased undfr control of the Scranton
Traction company.
On January 3, 1S97, the company was
again reorgani?ed under the name of
the Scranton Railway company with
officers as follows: President, C. 31.
Clark, Philadelphia; vice president, .T.
V. Islbey, Philadelphia; secretary, and
tioasurer, C. Ford Stevens, Phlladel -
phla; general manager, Frank Silli-
man, jr., Scranton.
Under the new organization and
management th'o road has developed to
a remarkable degree, and the service
has been constantly improved. Tlio
company now controls over fifty-two
miles of track and its branches reach
nearly every hamlet from Peckville to
Plttston; whilo tho crosstown and
other lines of the city of Scranton by
the means of an excellent transfer
system, alford a first-class service to
the residents of the city. The rolling
stock of the road includes 113 passenger
cars, and also snow sweepers, wreck
cars, repair trucks, etc., and over six
ty cars are in actuil service daily. The
comfort of patrons on the various
lines has been heightened by tho ad
dition of ten new Vestibule cars of the
latest 'lenlgn twenty-eight feet in
length, which are furnished with rat
tan seals and contain all of the most
recent improvements suggested by the
street car Inventor.
Trips are made every four minutes
at an average speed of seven miles an
hour. And the rolling stock travels
2,000,000 miles annually. Tno faro to,
or from any point In the city is five
cents. By the transfer system, which
has bijen one of the "benefits of the
consolidation of tho road3, one may
ride from the western limits of Hyde
Park to Dunmore corners, a distance
of nearly seven miles, for five cents.
Within tho past two or three years
many thousands of dollars have been
expended in making repairs to the road
beds and many of the lines havo been
practically rebuilt during tho time.
To the keen observer it will be ap
parent that Scranton, which won the
title of "Dlectiio City," by being
among th'a first to use tho motor on
street cars, has not baen outdistanced
in the matter of Improvements in tho
system; and a comparison of tho ten
cent -a-mile service of a quarter of a
century ago with the splended accom
modations of today will convince the
reader that there nro amplo evidences
of the wonderful advancement of the
"Klectlic City" and her Institutions.
Another feature of tho management
of the? road which deserves especial
mention Is th'e personnel of the employ
es. While It is dllllcult to secure per
lectlon In this Important matter at
all times, the utmost caro Is taken in
the selection of men to handle tho cars,
and the apparent freedom from acci
dent on the road Is evidence that rare
wisdom has been shown In securing
men for these positions of responsibi
lity. J11 tho mutter of Interest taken
In the comfort and safety of lta pas
sengers The Scianton Railway com
pany has not a peer In the fctrcet car
service of th'o world.
Electricity.
In ,tho many enterprises with which
electricity Is identified as well as the
Industries devoted to Us generation
and to the manufacture and sale of
supplies, Scranton exemplifies Us pop
ular title of "Electric City." The busi
ness of electrical supplies is one in
which vast progress has been made In
tho last ten years, and no city has
surpassed our own in this branch of
trade. Scranton. the first city to test
electricity as a motive power on street
railways, has not failed to recognize
the power in many other industries as
well as for lighting purposes, and tho
clertiic bell, automatic lire alarm, and
motor for use In propelling maohlnery
arc among thft many things Illustrat
ing the uses to which the mysterious
force nmy ho put through the genius
of the Inventor of the nineteenth cen
tury. Formerly an electric light was
a slmplo thing in appearance, but with
in tho last few years the talent, of the
nrtlst has been coupled with that of
tho cunning mechanic and the devices
produced to shod light are Indeed won
derful in design. 13y aid of colored and
ground glass, wrought Iron, brass and
copper, the incandescent light of to
day Is a thing of wondrous beauty.
In addition to tho Immense power
houses used by tho street railroads
and heat and light companies, numer
ous concerns generate their own cur
rents for lighting and motor power,
and the success of this force which was
practically unknown in tho days of our
grandfathers Is almost marvelous.
Tho electric light Interests of Scran
ton are controlled by tho Scranton
Klectrlc Light and Heat company and
the Suburban Electric Light company.
Builders and Contractors.
The rapid growth of Scranton has
made tho business of the builder and
contractor among tho most prosperous
of occupations, and the numerous firms
that make a specialty of building on
contract or otherwise are amply equip
ped with material and mechanical in
genuity necessary to the highest grades
in tho field of modern architecture. The
splendid edifices, public and private,
that greet the eye at every hand in
tho city are proof that the building In
terests are up to dato In nil details.
Tho city builders are thoroughly post
ed on the latest designs In artistic
building and their warehouses and
stores and finishing shops are replete
with all grades of wood used In the
finishing of a modern home. 13y these
Institutions a largo number of skilled
mechanics and deslgners.nnd draughts
men are employed and the Industry Is
one that is second to none In the mat
ter of vital Interest to the citv.
The ramifications of tho building and
contracting business are many, and
reach the mason, tho plumber, the
painter, the tinner, tho decorator, and
in fact tho artisan In nearly every oc
cupation. The representative builders and con
tractors are Peter Stipp, Price & Ho
warth, Peck Lumber Mfg. Co., Green
Ridge Lumber Co. a largo quantity
of lumber used in this section is sup
plied by Lackawanna Lumber Co.
Luther Keller represents tho Lime and
Cement business, while tho Paragon
Plaster and Supply Co. furnishes most
of the supplies for builders in this
locality.
Carpets and Draperies.
A tour through tho big establishments
in Scranton devoted to carpets and
house furnishings will reveal a display
that suggests the scenes of oriental
bplendor so charmingly described in
the Arabian Nights. With th'e advance
in art that is shown in the harmonious
arrangement in color and design in
house furnishing, as well as in the
better class of studies that are created
by the etcher and oil painter for tho
walls, the home of even the man of
moderate circumstances can of ten, at
sligh't expense bo mado an artistic
dream of which the aesthetic nature
will nevvr tire. The show rooms of
the Scranton drapers give evidence of
tho master miral In art both in ar
rangement of goods and in selections.
Here may be found in endless variety
the newest and most pleasing effects
produced by the American and foreign,
carpet weaver, in all the famous quail
tie's eo well known to readers. The old
vllllanous combinations of color and
patterns that produced melancholy up
on the patron of artistic instincts nave
almnit entirely disappeared from th'e
modern wareroom, and In their stead
j one m:iy behold modest and tasteful
j designs that attract the buyer for their
simplicity and richness. But the
1 scrantnii wholesales and retailers
havo not conf.ncd themselves solely
to the home products or direct importa
tions from the well known estahlish
mfnts of England and France. To;
cater to th'e popular demand for rugs
thoy have scoured the deserts of the
orient, and the choicest products of
Turin y, Persia, India and Japan may
be found in abundance among their
wares. In bom mouern nnu antique
rugs tho results of weary years of
patient toil are offered In the fascinat
ing patterns of barbaric splendor that
cannot bo imitated or equalled by the
most skilled and cunning weavers of
civilized countries. For variety and
beauty the lines of rugs shown by the
Scranton dealers can scarcely be ex
celled In the bazaars of Jerusalem and
Constantinople.
In draperies one may also find a
bewildering assortment and of the most
artistic patterns. In light hangings
the stock embraces everything from
common muslin to the finest lace,
while in the heavy draperies' the ar
rangement of brocades, Japanese silks,
tape-strips, etc., is kaleidoscopic and
da'-iiiing.
The trade in carpets and draperies
In this city reaches the surrounding
country both In wholesale and retail
departments, tho lmmenso stocks car
ried making it unnecessary for the
suburban merchant to seek elsewhere
when In search of goods in this line.
The leading drapers and carpet deal
ers arc Williams and McAnulty, Thos.
Kelly.
CHARLES B. SCOTT.
One of tho longest established and
best known business houses in the city
Is that of Charles B. Scott, 110 Frank
lin avenue, dealer in engines, boilers,
steam pumps, eltetric motors and ma
chinery supplies. Mr. Scott's success
in these linos has encouraged him to
engage teeently in the kindred lines
of steam and hot water heating, elec
trlo wiring and gas and electric fix
tures, IIo keeps on hand all of itho
most approved boilers, pipes, fittings,
valves and radlatoro used in the va
rious systems of hot water and steam
heating, and is prepared to make plans
and specifications and to contract at
shortest notice and at reasonable
prices for large or small plants adapted
to publlo Institutions or private dwell
ings, Including tho lower and high pres
sure and exhaust or blower systems
for mills, etc. In the line of gas and
electric fixtures, ho exhibits the most
artistic designs to bo seen anywhere.
Theee aro tho product of the Cossldy
& Son's Manufacturing company of
New York, who make the very finest
goods in this line. Three large rooms
on the second floor of his spacious
building are used for this purpose, and
they constitute a permanent exhibition
of beautiful articles In brass, bronze,
copper, iron, nickel and glass, which
is well worth going to see. Those who
contemplate the construction of new
buildings or the changing of systems
or fixtures In old buildings will do well
to see Mr. Scott before they give their
orders. His reputation for courtesy,
honorable dealing and promptness Is
high, as Is evidenced by tho growth
of his business from a small begin
ning to Us present large proportions.
