The Independent Telephone Move ment. The devclopeiiieiit of the Indepen dent Telephone movement has been one of the surprises of the century, even tn thre who have been its most ardent advomtes. It can be said that tlio commercial world has rarely if ever, witnessed a similar expansion of an Industry In such a short lime as that which marked the Introduction of tho telephone Mnce the Held was open ed to Independent companies by the expiration of the Xundannntal Hell patents. The people of the country arc Just awakening to the realization of the fact, it would seem, that what wjib for many years a luxury within the means of comparatively few. Is today not only a possibility but u necessity, hence the popularity of the Indepen dwent movement with the muss of the people. The Lackawniinn Telephone company proposes to build an exchange in Scranton that will be second to none In the United States. They will put In the latest Improved long distance telephones on copper wire metallic cir cuits und will Inaugurate a system of quick service with prompt attention and accomodation to their customers.

YesterdiLV, while the plumed Knights of the Golden F.aglo were tr.nrchlng with banneis nnd re galias and bands, n little drum rorp hended the procession that took !100 re cruits to the otntlon to embark for Mt. Gretna, There were no laggards among the earnest -eyed volunteers, who thronged the old armory. They were on hand sii'.n niter 8 o'clock, nnd were laden with tho stores concerning which sug gestions had been made by Colonel Coursen. There were hinny urtlcles hulging the pockets of the recruits. however, which could neither bo cata logued ns "other socks" or extra flan nels. Only one man stood opart and seemed to have neither dropstcnl pockets und parcels, or womenklnd to hold him back from the wars. All around him were recruits close to whose side there crowded anxious-browed mothers und wives, sweetheart!) or sisters. He, of alt the throng, seemed to be utterly alone, and while In the eyes of the other men was often seen a dimness that wus secretly wiped away, in this man's face wus a hungry, yearning look that told as plainly as words, that after all it isn't such n terrible nuls nnce to have women who love a lello'V and hnve claims of relationship upon hint, clinging to his hand as perhaps he goes away for ever. ROLL CALL. At 9.!0 the roll was called by the offi cers In charge. No absentees were noted except tho case of Charles Drake, of AMonvllle, who was to go with Co. E, ot Honesdale. Captain Smith stated thnt he had missed the tialn. At tho nrmory were Colonel Cour.sen, Captains Dimmlck, of Co. A; Kamback, of 15; Second Lieutenant D. W. Davles, of C; Second Lieutenant Arthur Fonte, of D; Captain Fimene Fellows, and Second Litutcr.ant David J. Davis, of F, and Captain Wells Corivln, of Co. H, North Lnd. Then the line was formed, and to tho air of "Marching Through Georgia," the men marched down Adams avenue to Linden. Although no sui h a city full ot people turned out to say fare well to these recruits, ap gave parting salutations to the departing regiment, the streets weie throngtd and muivhlm; wis pursued with dlillculy. Chief P. J. Hieky led the way, while the appara tus of the Chemical nnd Century com panlcE followed, In honor of members Henry Helns and Charles Wirtz, Mounted Olllcers l'.urke und Dyer were next, after whom, came Colonel Couiven and the other ofllccrs. Kaoh recruit cnnied n small ilajj and many were bravelv decorated with the colors of the United States and Cuba. Till', LINK OF MAP.CIl. From Linden the inarch was to Washington, to Spruce, to Wyoming.to Leu kaw anna, and to the Holaware, Larknwnnmv and Western station. All along the line crowds gathered and cheeicd wildly for everything that could be oppioprlaeh- mentioned. Great enthusiasm in evaded at the station, but the brightness of tin day seemed to reveal even more tear-wet faces nniong. those who , ore left behind to wait than on the night when amid the mod shout? of thousands and the music of bands our regiment disappeared from, sight In the darkness.

"Talk of a new railroad between New York and Scranton need not be taken seriously, although application has bicn made for a New Jersey charter, and a board of directors selected, for a ciinpnny to be known ns the New York Wyoming and Western," fsnvs the Philadelphia Stockholder. "No proposal f.f this sort has been so utterly lacklni in the essentinl factor of a demnnd for nudl'toiml transportation facilities. Tho Feetlon which it is contemplated to servo Js already gild-ironed with railroads, few of which are operated at a profit.
