COMING OF THE
LEHIGH VALLEY
D. & H. 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"

Objections weie made to the oiders
on the giound that they wete signed

INSTANTLY KILLED.
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.
Frank Woolbaugh, of West Scran

The htoiy of the shooting Is sensa
