Blnghamtontans Again Agonising
Over Railroad Changes.
First It was aliened changes of men
and shops along tho Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western railroad system
which caused Blnehnmton to agonize.
Now It seems to ho the discharge of
men on the Delaware and Hudson sys
tem which excites attention and worry.
The following item appeared In the
BInghamton Republican of (Saturday:
"During tho hiBt ten days a number
of passenger conductors on the Dela
ware and Hudson have 'lost their
heads;" and the conductors who still
retain their positions are wondering It
the decapitation business Is completed,
while tho men who have been 'blue
enveloped' any they wonder why. So
far three men who run to lllnghamton
have been discharged, and seven from
the Saratoga division. Tho men at this
end of tho lino who have had to go
are Howard Evans, of Schenectady, J.
C. White, of Albany, and Joseph Web
ster, of this city.
"No reason has been assigned by tho
officials for these discharges, except
that It Is for disobeying rules; and the
mem themselves say that they know
nf no reason why they should be bo
treated. Some of the other employes
ot tho company say that they can see
no reason for the action as the men
discharged have long been supposed to
be among tho most faithful and trust
worthy employes of the road. Other
employes, however, say that they do
not believe the company would take
this action unless there was some good
reasons behind It."
The article concludes-wlth a compar
ison of possible "reasons why" the
main one being tho disobeying of a
recent order bearing upon tho accept
ance of mileage coupons.
SCRANTON LOST HEAVILY
Saturday's Stock Panic Swept Away
00 Per Cent, of tho Money
Invested by Local Margin
Speculators.
The panic which swept over Wall
street last Saturday morning and
which came as the Immediate result of
ex-Governor Koswell P. Flower's death,
was not without Its effects In Scran
ton. Mr. Flower was tho acknowledged
leader of Wall street, particularly In
the domain of the Industrial stocks,
and the slump that followed his death
was most nutural. In this city his
success In raising the price of Brook
lyn Rapid Transit stock from 3D to 130
gained for him the confidence of many
speculators who now doubly mourn his
death.
Federal Steel, Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit and New York Air Brake stock
wero looked upon hero as Mr. Flower's
specialties, and In these Scranton In
vestors, who wished to follow his lead,
speculated most heavily. It Is alto
gether probable that every Scranton
holder on margin of these stocks lost
every cent Invested.
Federal Steel common stock lost HU
points from Friday afternoon's close;
Brooklyn Rapid Transit lost 18 points
and New York Air Brake lost the en
ormous total ot CD points.
Every other stock fell, but the loss
was nowhere near so great as In the
Flower specialties, and It was In these
the local speculators, as a rule, were
wont to dabble.
The local brokerage offices were
crowded all of Saturday morning, and
the excitement was comparatively on
a par with that which shook Wall
street to Its very foundations. That
the excitement was general In thl3
region was evidenced by tho messages
that went through tho ticker from
BInghamton, Elmira and other towns
receiving the same service as this city.
"Sell my stock." "For Sake, get
rid of my Consolidated Gas." "You
blanked Idiots, why don't you observe
my order." "We'ro farmers, but we
want a show," are excerpts from some
ot tho messages that were read from
the tape as they Hew over the wire
to the New York offices.
There Is no telling how much money
was lost here, as the brokers, of course,
would not even admit that there wero
losses. Tt Is safe to say, though, that
SO per cent, of the Scranton money in
vested on margin was swept away, as
country "lambs" are invariably buyers
and It Is very rare thnt an Investment
Is protected over three points.
PIANIST LINDER WILL ASSIST.
New Athaction Secured for the Elks'
Hlnstrels.
Tho management of the Elks min
strels are sparing no expense whatever
to present a programme replete with
costly and novel acts. The latest to be
announced Is Mr. Joe Llnder, a mem
ber of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Lodge of
Elks, No. 22, and a society man as well.
He Is a most gifted pianist and his ap
pearance Is In great demand In New
York and Brooklyn at tho big society
events, and It is only fraternal friend
ship that the Scranton Lodge of Elks
are enabled to unnounce his name. As
Mr. Llnder has volunteered to come up
with a party of Elks from Brooklyn
and he will appear In tho olio of this
great show.
Mr. Llnder Is n remarkable pianist
and styles his act a monologue pianist
or a piano monologuist, just us you
choose, but he may appropriately bo
termed tho I'adercwskl of Rag time.
His playing Is marked by most mar
velous execution, and his Imitations of
banjos and street pianos and his rag
time playing Is sure to make an In
stantaneous hit. Mr. Llnder will ap
pear Wednesday night only, and Mr.
Al. Reeves, the bnnjolst and comedian,
will appear Thursday night.
These are the enly two foreign acts
that have been embodied In the great
programme of Mils minstrel perform
once. The balance of tho show from
beginning to end Is made up entirely of
Scronton's local residents and mem
bers of the Elks lodge, the names of
whom havo been heretofore mentioned,
together with the specialties and acts
that they are to do. Tho parade will
start from the Elks lodgo room Wed
nesday at noon. The sale of tickets for
both Wednesday and Thursday nights
opens this morning at the Lyceum the
atre box office.

MENTION OF SOME
MENF THE HOUR
THE PROTHONOTARY WINNING
MANY FRIENDS.
Courtesy Has Always Beon a Strong
Characteristic of tho Prothono
taries of Lackawanna County and
Their Assistants School Control
ler Rocho Is Making a Strong
Effort to Havo No. 0 School Build
ing Replaced by a New Structure.
Is the Second Oldest in City.
Prothonotary John Copoland Is one
of the quietest, most unobtrusive oiH
clals that hao ever occupied an olllco
in the court house and ho Is ono ot
tho most popular as well. He Is tho
personification of courtesy and those
who have business In the prothono
tary's office quickly acquire tho most
profound regard for the quiet, placid
man who Is never disturbed or ex
cited and always has time to answer
questions and import Information.
When Mr. Copeland wns chosen by
tho voters of Luckuwanna to bo their
prothonotary he was not extensively
known In the county, outside ot his
homo at Carbondale, but by the tlmo
his three-year term has expired there
will be few men In this county with
tho number of wclt-wlshing friends
Mr. Copeland will have earned.
Countless opportunities present
themselves In that olllco for a man
with a kind heart and a courteous
disposition to win friends and Lacka
wanna county has beon fortunato for
years In having selected men to 1111
that office who were peculiarly fitted
for Its requirements. Mr. Copeland's
immediate predecessor, C. E. Pryor,
made such nn army of friends while
In the office that he was practically
Invincible when ho aspired to the of
fice of sheriff. Ills predecessor, Thomas
H. Dale, won many golden opinions
during his term of service by his un
failing courtesy and disposition to
make tho burden of litigants as light
as possible.
It i but natural that officials who
realize the debt they owe to the taxpay
ers und are conscious they ure as much
the servants of the humblest ns of
the most opulent taxpayer, should sur
round themselves with assistants who
are in sympathy with their Ideas. This
accounts for tho uniform courtesy of
tho men, who of recent years at least,
havo assisted the prothonotarles of tho
county. Myron Kasson, for nearly ten
years deputy prothonotary under Mr.
Dale and Mr. Pryor, was a most oblig
ing official, whoso wonderful store of
information concerning legal matters
in general and the prothonotary's office
in particular, made him invaluable, not
only to laymen but to members of the
bar as well.
When Mr. Pryor retired from tho
office Mr. Kasson nlso retired to be
come alderman of the Ninth ward and
was succeeded by John F. Cummlngs,
who had been ono of the assistants in
the olllco for several years. He has
tho quiet, courteous manner thnf dis
tinguishes his chief and is an immense
favorite with those who have business
to transact In that office. Ho has tho
fondness for a good story that char
acterized Messrs. Pryor and Kasson,
and Is quite tho equal ot these celeb
rities In his ability to tell a yarn that
has both point and merit. Tho as
sistants in the office, Messrs. Beck and
Williams, make a quartette of unusual
ly courteous public officials.
School Controller D. J. Roche, of the
Seventh ward, Is making a very de
termined effort to secure a now build
ing to take the place of No. 9 at Wyo
ming avenue nnd Ash street. It ought
not be necessary for Mr. Rocho to
make much of an argument to secure
a modern building to replace tho time
worn structure known as No. P. It
is nearly thirty years old and has tho
distinction of being the second in the
city In matter of age. Several years
ago It was condemned by the board of
health, and It hns been condemned and
disapproved of by every building and
visiting committee that has been In
the building for at least live years.
Several years ago the third story be
came so dangerous and unhealthy that
It was closed and has not since been
used for school purpose. Those who
have examined tho structure say they
would not bo surprised to here of .the
building tumbling down at nny time.
A few weeks ugo when the school was
opened ono Monday .morning It was
seen that a large section of tho plast
er on the ceiling of one of the rooms
had fallen during the night. If It had
come down during school hours u num
ber of children would have been In
jured and a panic in all probability
created.
"Tills talk about No. 9 building be
ing good enough and thut it Is sense
less extravagance to replace It with
a new building," Is the veriest rot, says
Mr. Roche. "Any taxpayer who will
take the trouble to vls.lt the building
will, I am sure, agreo with me that
It cannot bo replaced .1 moment too
soon."
The life of the late James Nolan,
whose funeral took place last Satur
day, was a romance which was out
of all proportion to his plainness,
simplicity and prnctlrnl nuturo as
the latter generation ot Scrantonians
know him.

grounding In these sciences was of
the most solid and comprehensive na
ture, and his deductions were Invar
iably clear and certain. Ho was a
draughtsman of exceptional ability and
a practical constructor whose skill and
Ingenuity wero evidenced in the build
ing and development of some of tho
largest and most Important plants In
this country. Ho Invented a self-feeding
machine for tho manufacture of

and an apparatus for tho hoisting of
grain from ships Into grain elevators
thai has demonstrated Its use and
piactlcablllty. Vailous smaller devices
were also invented by hl3 cver-aotlvo
mind.
Mr. Nolan at seventeen years of ago
befunio one of six students who with
their Instructor came from college in
Ireland for tho purposeof surveying the
route of a Vermont railroad. He liked
this country so well and his extraor
dinary ability obtained such speedy
recognition that he never returned to
his native land. When only nineteen
yeais of ago ho married Ruth Jepson,
the daughter of a citizen of Vermont.
She died a number of years ago. Tho
.surviving children of this union are
Mrs. William Kelly, Mrs. T. C. Fltz
simmons, Mrs. Hugh J. Gallagher, Jo
seph No'an, of this city, and Bernard
Nclnn, of Chicago. Mr. Nolan's father
paid a long visit to tills country after
his sun's marriage and a sister also
came to this country, but these both
icturncd nud no immediate relatives,
other thu.i his children, now live In
tho United States. His eldest brother
Is the proprietor of one of the largest
estates In Westmcath, Ireland.
Mr. Nolan came to Scranton In 183G
to become the foreman of the Dickson
wot Its. Ho retained that position un
til 1SU3, when he resigned In order that
he might superintend the erection of
the Oxford Iron works, at Oxfoid, N.
J., of which plant ho was the architect
and designer. At the conclusion of his
work in Oxf. id he returned to this
city.
Up to the beginning of the Illness
which terminated In his death, Mr.
Nolan's marvelous mind was ever ac
tive. He was engaged In tho publica
tion ot "Tho American Wood AVorker."
and was frequently employed In con
sultation upon large and important
contracts.
Ills life was upright, simple, pious
and sincere. His funeral was attend
ed by a large number of persons who
knew his worth nnd who valued his
friendship.
SEEMS A CERTAINTY.
What Scrantonians Are Doing in

Extended reference was made some
time ngo in The Tribune of the organ
ization of a company by local capital
ists for the purpose ot mining mineral
ore for the paint tiade from a tract
at Hallstead. The lollowiug article
appeared In Friday's Ifsuo of the ninjr
liamton Republican:
"An ore used In tho manufacture of
paint has been found in paying quan
tities on P. IT. Barrlger's farm, near
HullsU-ad, nnd It is probable that a
syndicate of Scranton capitalists will
soon begin tho work of converting this
raw material Into mineral paint. Tho
company interested has a capital of
$100,000 and is officered as follows:

"The local branch ot the Woodwork
ers' union has Issued a card to the pub
lic, asking that union-made sash doors,

laration also calls attention to the fact
that the v. oudworkers consider that

PLUMMER S. PAGE
DIES SUDDENLY
BURST A BLOOD VESSEL IN THE
HEAD YESTERDAY MORNING.
Just After Lotting in Dr. Allen,
Whom Ho Had Summoned, llo
Falls to tho Floor Unconscious and
Breathes His Last Within a Fow
Minutes Was tho Man Who Gave
Scranton Its First Electric Rail
wayDuring a Busy Llfo as a Con
tractor Ho Constructed Many Miles
of Railroad.
Plummer S. Page, one of Scranton's
most widely known and Intluentlal citi
zens, died suddenly yesterday morning
at his home, K5 North Washington
avenue. Tho rupture of a blood vessel
in the head was the cause ot death.
Ho breakfasted with tho family as
usual yesterday morning and retired
to his room, when Mrs. Page accom
panied by their niece, Mrs. George M.
Hallstead, left to attend Sunday school
at 9 o'clock In the Episcopal church.
About 10.30 o'clock ho called a servant
and sent him across the avenue to sum
mon Br. Allen, saying he had pains in
his right side, from which he could get
no relief.
Dr. Allen answered the suminons im
mediately, nnd Mr. Page went to the
door to let him in. Whllo explaining
his trouble to the doctor, just Inside
tho doorway, he suddenly placed his
hand on his side nnd exclaiming "There
it is again," dropped unconscious to
the floor. In a few minutes ho breathed
his last. An examination by Dr. Allen
disclosed n. ruptured blood vessel In
tho head.
Few men have contributed more to
Scranton's welfare than Mr. Page. Ho
gavo tho "Klectrlc City" Its llrst elec
tric railway, was prominently Identi
fied with many of Us Industries and In
movements that tended to the public
welfare was always counted upon as
one of the first citizens to give it sup
port. AFFABLE- DISPOSITION.
Personally ho was ono of the most
pleasant of men. Generous of heart
and of marked sociability, he had a
wide circle of close friends. His affa
bility was one of his chief characteris
tics. Ho had a smile and a pleasant
word for every one ho met, and It wns
a matter of general comment among
his associates that ho wns never known
to have his temper ruffled.
Two years ago last September, In at
tempting to board a train that was
pulling out of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western station, ho tripped
and fell beneath the cars, sustaining
Mich a severely crushed foot that am
putation was necessary. He was out
in a short tlmo on crutches and later
was enabled to walk with only tho aid
ot an artificial foot, and cane. This
sad misfortune, however, had no vis
ible effect on his happy, genial dispo
sition. He was tho same pleasant, af
fable Flum Pago as ever.
The deceased was born in Orange
county, Vermont, at tho homestead
"Falrllo" In 1SU, being a son of Augus
tus Page, who came to Vermont from
Ensland when n young man.
Plummer, at ten years of age, loft
home and hired out to a farmer in St.
Lawrence county, N. Y remaining at
this employment until he was seven
teen years old. Meanwhile, he had at
tended tho district schools and in 1S59-G0
took a commercial course In Eastman's
Business college at iPoughkeepsle, N.
Y. Here was undoubtedly developed
the business traits which enabled him
to turn everything ho took hold of Into
a paying Investment In after years.
SOME OF HIS WORK.
For five years following his business
school course, ho worked In and about
the oil regions. In 1SG3 he becamo gen
eral manager of tho construction work
for the extension of tho Delaware and
Hudson railroad, then building from
Scranton to Wllkes-Barre. After a
year's work, he entered Into the busi
ness of railroad grading, city paving
and turnpike building. The next fow
years were busy ones, and he gradually
forged his way to the forefront of con
tractor work.
His llrst largo railroad contract was
tho grading of tho Boonton branch for
tho Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern in 1SC9. Elevated railroad building
next claimed his attention and ho se
cured the contract for building the
connection between the elevated roads
and the New York City and Northern
at High Bridge. Portions of tho Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail
road extension from BInghamton to
Buffalo and eleven miles of the Erie
and Wyoming Valley road at Hoad-
leys were also constructed by him.
Mr. Page then branched into a new
Held, that of promoting industries. He
Interested much local capital in the
building of tho Wilkes-Barro and East
ern railroad. With T. R. McCabe, he
secured control of the People's Street
railroad of Luzerne county, tho Sernn
ton Passenger railway, nnd later the
old Suburban line. Through his elTorts
electricity was Introduced on the street
railway lines in this city. Shortly
afterwards, the Scranton Traction com
pany absorbed tho above interests.
OTHER RAILWAY INTEHESTS.
Other street railways in which he
was Interested were the Cortland and '
Homer Traction lines at Cortland, N.
Y.i the Lackawanna Valley Traction
company, tho Long Island Traction
company, and tho Scranton nnd Pitts
ton lines.
His married life, which has been very
happy, began In 1S67, when he married
MIrs Louise A. Whittaker, daughter of
James and Lucinda Whittaker, of
Waverly, N. Y. The ceremony was per
formed at the old St. Luke's church In
this city. Ho Is survived by his wife
nnd two sons, William A., who was
associated with his father In businoss,
and James W a student at Chester
Military academy. Ono brother, Joseph
(Page, of Montrose, survives him.
Another brother, Wnlter Page, died
threo weeks ago ut Alford.
Tho funeral will occur Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock. Interment will
be made In Dunmoro cemetery. Ser
vices will be private. Friends can
view tho remains Tuesday afternoon
between 12 and 3 o'clock.
