OFFICIALS SAY THEIR KOAD WILL KOT DE LEASED. Arrangement with tho Erie Is Not a Permanent One and a Steam Rond Over the Mountain on the Bed of the Old Giavity Road May Make the Delaware nnd Hudson Again Independent of Its Com petitorWhat a Lehigh Valley Oiliclal Said. Local Delaware nnd Hudson men are not disposed to give much crcdenc to the statement coming from Lehigh Valley sources and printed In Mon day's Tribune to the effect thft the Lehigh Vnlloy was to absoib the Scranton nnd Wllkes-ltarre branch ot the Delaware and Hudson. No one who wns seen would ny that the thing was not possible, but all agreed that It would surpiise them ci much If a corrobotatlon of the story came fiom headquarters. Such a move would be directly an tagonistic to the policy ot the Dela awnre and Hudson It was aigueil. The load has alwuys fought ngainFt hav ing nn outlet blocked up or Incon venienced and should It dispose of 111? Wllkes-Hatre nnd Scranton lino It would be doing this very thing, for it would be subject to another road and. In a measure, at Its mercy. In the mntter of reaching Its principal maiket, Albanv ni'd the adjacent ler litoiy, with Its Luzerne county iiut uut. The Delnwaie and Hudson load, It was further stated, Is not suffeilng a gradual contraction of its opeintloiib. us many have been led to suppose. ON A PAYING HASIS. While Its coal pi opei ties are not what they weie, they ale still In good con dition and woikable on a paying basis lor veins to come; besides other prop el ty Is being seemed and when 11 is deemed neccssnry and expedient it will be opened up and developed. The l'liu'lugo deal with the Hrle (wis not a peiniaiient arinngemeiit, It Is said, and a veiy Inoad intimation was given that It would cease with a tians fn ination of the giavily Into a steam rond Authoilty was given to make the statement that the VHlJtVine. and Illld su'i would not abandon Its light of way ntv the mountain. The Lehigh Valle.v wn not long ago otfe'ed ttnekuge lights over the Deln waie nnd Hudson fiom Wllke-H uie lo this city. The offer was made at a time when the Lehigh Valley was contemplating, und, in fuct, working on a loute ot its own to teach heie. The very appaicnt pin pose of the of fer and the belief ot the Lehigh Val ley people that they weie In a posi tion to leject It enured it to leinain unacceptable, LPter, when the Lclllgu Vullej failed In Its effoit lo get a load of its own thtougli to this city, and ofl'eietl to it-new the negotiations for tiackage lights iver the Delnwaie and Hud son, the latter company politely Jlt toiried the Valley people that it was just then In need of all its tiackage facilities and could not for 'i moment think of disposing of any of them. FP.OM AN OFFICIAL. The Wllkos-lSaite rimes printed tin follow lug Intel view with an oiliclal of th Lehigh Valley line In that city: "The Lehigh Valley lias long had its o.vv on a Scianion tennlnal, but up to the pisent lime has not ielt vvainnt ed In going to the expense ot building a separate or independent line a line which would cost n iabuluus sum. The road is and always has been piogu-a-Mve and it would not suipil-e ine to pick up my paper some day and leud of oui people bu.vlng n blanch fiom heie to Scianton. "I have alieady beaid tumors to that tlfeit, though thev did tint come tioni anyone siill.clenllj posted to spak with authoilty legaiding so ex tensive a pin chase-. 1 bellevp, however, that the Lehigh Vnllty will some day get Into Scianton, and that befoie a gieat while" Onlv the inability to score a suit able hlte In the heatt of the city lias kept the company out of Scianton CLAIMS AGAINST TOWNSHIP.

About 4,000 Volts of Electric Fluid Went Through the Body of Charles Asperschlager, a Stationary Engineer. Chailes Aspeischlnger, 11 stnllonuiy engineer, was Instuntly killed by elec tllcltv at the Cliff works of the Dick son Mauufuc tin lug company eaily last evenlnj. He attempted to pull an arc lump down with a long lion poker Instead of using the wooden pole with 1111 insulated hook attached and pio vlded for that iiiupose. About 4,000 volts of electilc fluid sent him Into eteinlt In the smallest fiaction of a sec oud. Aspei --villager was 30 yeuts old. mnr iled, had one child and lived with his mother-ln-liiw. Mis. Heniletta Stelni lt. at HOI Cedar avenue. A pait of AspeischUger's duties were to attend to the dviiiiiuu In the engine 100m and to keep the aic lamps in older. Soon after C o'i lock he was Hilled lo attend to .1 lamp in the ham mer shop. He had frequently been summoned for such woik but In pull ing the lumps to within leaching dis tance had used the wooden pole with the Insulated lion hook. Xobody knows why he did not in-e the pole hist night. With the lion poker seveml feet long, In lil-i hand, he was seen to steu on the i all of one of the nation tiacks and lench for the lamp and then fall. Seveial blacksmiths at woik neniby ran to I1I111. He was uppmently lifeless but by dlieetlon of F01 email Kellly was 1111 1 led to the engine loom seveial lods away, whole elfoits weie made to le vlve I1I111. The men mioii peuelved they weie working over a coipse. How ever, as a matter of chance, a e.ill for an ambulance was sent to the Lacka wanna hospital and the body was tak en theie, but the suigeons saw at once that 110 walk of life leinnlned Coionei l,ongstieet wns notified of the case and us mioii us the facts weie known n permit was lecelved fiom his oillee allowing an nuclei taker to le telve the leuialns. Aspen-ciilaee-i hah been a station my engineer nt the Cliff works for about a j ear. I'leviously he was an oiler. He had long winked about the dynamo nnd electilc lamps and was eonslcloied a caieful and competent man and tlioioughly acquainted with the danger of winking about elect! leal apiiaiatiur Some time ago he lecelved a dynamo shock which lendeied him fcc-nselcs ami nfler that it was noted that he wus mgie cautious than ever. His bodv last nlsht and the 1 all on which he stood made a perfect con nection between the lion poker und the giound. If he had flist used the poker for shifting the wooden switch handle at the toti of the lamp he would not have been Killed, but he failed to take this piecautlon. .SHOT HIS COMPANION.
