Amboy coal, was pulled from Altoona
to Columbia on Tuesday, drawn by a
single engine. No. 872, the first of the

tons were coal, behind the tender of
the engine (sixty cars of 2,350 tons
would be an ordinary train), and left
Altoona at 9 a. m., arriving at Colum
bia at 11 p. m., having two complete
crews to man It. The clant locomo

POLE CLIMBER '
DOES A "STUNT"
MADE A DARING CLIMB OF AN
S2-FOOT POLE.
Thomas McLaughlin Employed to
Replace a Pulley at the Top of tho
Pole at No. 10 School Building on
Jackson Streot Crowd of Shudder
ing Onlookers Watched Him nt His
Work He Lashed Himself Fast to
tho Pole at a Dizzy Height.
Nearly n hundred feet above ground,
n daring feat was performed yesterday
by Thomas McLoughlln In replacing a
pulley nt tho top of the flagstaff of
No. 19 school building on Jackson
street. A large crowd, many of them
shuddering nnd almost afraid to look
upward through fear for McLaugh
lin's safety, saw him do his work.
Tho old pulley at the top of the pole
became broken and how to replace It
was a problem. The work would have
been comparatively easy It the pulley
could have been removed and a new
one put In Its place In the space of a
few seconds. But tho work could not
ho done that speedily. Tho pulley wan
fastened by a ring to another ring In
a piece of iron, which was bolted
through the top of the pole.
McLaughlin know his business, how
over. A 40-foot ladder gave him a
good start toward tho total height of
82 feet. In stocking feet he "shlnnled"
up tho remaining 42 feet. A flag rope
was fastened about his waist and dan
gled fnr beneath him to tho ground.
Another rope, shorter than the other,
but tough nnd strong was tied nbout
him, the free end hanging maybe 8 or
10 feet. A hammer, a "cold" chisel
nnd the new pulley comprised other
extra weight that ho had to carry.
THE CLIMB UPWARD.
As he progressed upward In his
climb the pole swayed from side to
side. It made some of tho watchers
feel "queer nt tho stomach," but while
they were alternately looking skywnrd
or stood with eyes closed McLaughlin
continued to climb. The top of the polo
was swaying through an arc of be
tween four nnd five feet when he
reached it. The polo Is but 2',i Inches
In diameter at that point. When Mc
Laughlin reached It he looked like a
pigmy to the watchers below.
McLaughlin wasted none of his
strength, much of which had already
been spent, In delay. Clasping the
pole with his legs and left hand he
made use of the shorter rope, one end
of which was tied about his waist and
which, ns It hung below him, was be
ing whipped by the wind Into all kinds
of fantastic shapes. He grasped It with
his right hand and used It In quickly
lashing himself to the pole. Then he
rested.
With both arms free, McLaughlin
soon began to work. Eighty-two feet
above the gaping crowd he Inserted the
steel chisel In the ring of the polo
staple and pounded It open. The old
pulley was then easily removed and
the new one put In Its place, the boltei
staple being closed by a reverse pro
cess of hammering. The work of un
lashlng himself after running tho flag
rope through the new pulley and slid
ing to the top of the ladder was no
easy task, but It was accomplished suc
cessfully. School Controller Benson E. Davis,
of the Fourth ward, warmly congratu
lated the daring climber, as did others
who witnessed his feat.
PROFESSIONAL "RIGGER."
McLaughlin Is an Iron-worker and Is
employed as a "rigger" by Contractor
Conrad 'Schroeder when delicate bits of
climbing are required about the hoist
ing apparatus used on high structures.
He formerly lived in Dunmore, but re
sides now on Bloom avenue, near Mnr
ket street, In the North End. He is a
modest and quiet young man, but Is
bold and daring when It conies to work
high above tho ground.
When asked if he wasn't afraid he
said, "No; hut that's nothing to my
credit, as I never think of fear after I
begin to climb. Whatever nervousness
I have about mv work Is when I am
getting ready and making sure that
everything Is secure; after I am satis
fled that nothing Is going to break and
I well, I jubt begin work, that's all."
He concluded ns though he wandered
why ono should think his hazardous
profession was anything but common
place. McLaughlin smiled when asked if his
work paid him well. "It depends on
the Job," he said; "sometimes it Is
wortu much nnd sometimes little. I
never make a price until I know Just
what kind of material I am going to
work on and work with." He accented
the "on" and concluded, "show me tho
Job and I'll tell you the price."
ANOTHER NEW TOBACCO.
A Good Smoking Tobacco nt a Very
Reasonable Price.
A new tobacco under the O Eye C
brand Is being Introduced in this mar
ket. It Is somewhat milder and a moro
pleasant smoke than the various
linos of stripped goods nnd sells from
12 to 15 cents per pound less, it Is put
up in yellow papers of the usual sizes.
Smokers who havo used It pronounce It
tne best smoking tobacco for tho mon
ey to be had. Nearly all af tho whole
sale houses have taken hold of it and
n good many nf the retailers already
have it in stock. It Is destined to be

ready is wherever It has been Intro

ELASTIC KIND OF PAPER.
It is a Contract and . Awaits the
Mayor's Signature.
Mayor Bailey has before him for sig
nature a very elastic contract which
his honor would hardly care to sign as
an every-day business man's docu
ment. But It Is a little different as a
city Instrument.
The contract Is for a chemical Are
engine and a combination hose and
chemical wagon and contains the clause
"according to specifications and such
additional 'improvements' as were sug
to be framed.

not specified In writing and may mean
two wheels Instead of four and a 10

RAILROADERS' FLAG.
D., L. & W. Engineers, Firemen and
Round House Men Raised It.
Cheeted With Whistles.
Among the. very many flag-raising
exercises in and around bcranton
Elnce the war began, the exercises yes
terduy afternoon at tho Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western round house
desc"e a place in tho front rank, or
flr'ng line, as It were. The flag Is 26
by 40 feet, and the polo stands 100 feet,
euietly, above the ground. The polo Is
planted on a natural terrace at the
entrance to the round house. The Del
nwnrc, Lackawanna and Western Rail
rood company furnished tho pole, and
tho flag was purchased by contribu
tions from the engineers, firemen and
tounl house men. Edward T. Swartz
and John Schafer, engineers, made up
the committee that collected the
money.
Seats were arranged around the base
of tho pole, and there the exercises
were held. A gathering of two or three
hundred employes of the yard, car
shops and round house assembled on
the north side of the terrace. Besides
the chairman nnd those who took part
In the exercises, seats were occupied
by George M. Hallstead, Clarence H.
Van Busklrk, Garrett Bogart, David
I-.rown and F. W. Pearsall. Tho chair
man wits J. It. Troch.
71 e organ used In the meeting room
nt the round house was brought out
and i.reslded over by "Del" Rowley.
A sextette consisting of Lindsay Mc
Millan, Walter Wllklns, William Mor
gan, Thomas Lewis, John Lloyd and
Perry Thomas, opened the programme
by singing "America," and closed It
with tho "Star Spangled Banner." Af
ter the opening chorus Mr. Pearsall In
voked Divine blessing with a fervent
cppeal. As he said "Amen," Chairman
Troch gave the signal nnd the rope
that lifted the starry emblem to the
breeze was hauled by Anthony O'Neill,
call boy at the round house.
O'Neill Is never called anything but
"Nipper" by tho engineers and fire
men. He Is now 18 years old, and for
ten years, r,aln or storm, sleet or hall.
he has been nt his post dutiful and
prompt. He was chosen for this func
tion because he grew up from knee
high in the round house.
As the flag floated on the breeze It
war given a glorious salute by the
whistles of all tho yard engines and
tl' se in tho round house. Mr. Bogart
ls-sued orders to this effect. Walter A.
Dmitri, the 12-year-old son of Engineer
"Vummy" Smith, recited "Present Day
C pperheads," an oration made up of
cxtrai ts from editorial utterances.
MR. COLBORN'S SPEECH.
Then Mr. Colborn's address, In the
eloquent stylo characteristic of him,
was delivered. It Is epitomized as fol
lows: Demonstrations such as these are of
great benefit to the citizens and to tho
government. They nwaken the enthusi
asm of all and make us more palttotlc.
Tho love we bear for the Star Spangled
Banner Is not for the flag itself. A gov.
ernment llko ours Is founded In sentiment,
must live upon sentiment and will dlo with
Its decay. Our flag floats today from the
rising to tho setting of the sun In prouder
triumph over a vaster domain than ever
before. It represents tho best and last
hope of humanity nnd wherever It floats
It marks the hallowed spot where truth
and Justice must dwell.
An engine Is a worthless piece 01 ma
chinery until tho spark kindles tho fire
In Its furnaco and tho heat produces the
motlvo power steam then It moves In
obedience to the master hand at tho throt
tle. Our government Is a great piece of
machinery nnd Its mighty work for hu
manity can only be accomplished by kind
ling the fires of enthusiasm and patriot
ism In tho breasts of the peoplo thereby
creating tho motlvo power that i-nables
It to proclaim "liberty throughout 'he
world and unto all tho Inhabitants there
of," and makes its Hag the beacon light
of freedom to the down-tiodden and op
pressed of tho earth.
Today, as never before, our country
needs intelligent, patriotic citizens. To
day, as never before, It facos the world a
united country. Our country Is In arms
today because It loves justice more than
peace. If no other good were to be ac
complished by the present war with
Spain, it is worth all that It has cost,
to know thero Is no longer any sectional
Issue, and that by this contest wc are ono
people, united limit nnd soul for one
country, one constitution, ono flag and
one destiny for all of which we should
reverently thank the God of our fathers
who has helped us to come off more than
Wctors.
Sectionalism was shot by the cannons
of Dewcys fleet at Manila, It was blotted
out by tho blood of Baglcy in cutting the
cablo: It was burled In the trenches nf
Santiago, sunk with the Merrlmao by
Hobson, and burned to ashes In tires ttm
conumed the last fleet of Spain on tho
ocean.
In the name of humanity this contest
has been waged nnd In that name the fu
ture wrongs of our people Will havo to be
redressed. In that name will be brought
about the reforms In our social, Indus
trial and political lift. It has been the
battle, cry In which our army and navy
has blazed a new path to victory In
times of peace It will be the rallying cry
by which our people will make more glo
rious still this "government of the peo.
pie. for tho people and by tho people."
and our starry banner will ever wave as
tho symbol nnd sign of a nation, Our
watchword will ever be, "Olory to God In
tho highest, peace on earth and good will
unto all men."
