Nickel Plate for Through Freight
Service Big Engines Soon to Be
Placed on the Lackawanna Road.
Other Notes.
The North mill, of the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company, was la full
turn yesterday mornliiR. ns was an
nounced It would in The Tribune.
For the present the milt will turn out
steel billets for which there Is an un

pmall lots as high an $33 a ton. Event
ually orders for rails will he taken and
It Is confidently hoped by the manage
ment that before long the both mills
will be working night and day at their
fullest capacity.
Through Freight Service.
J. M. Daly, superintendent of trans
portation, has returned from Buffalo,
where he was In consultation with of
ficials of the Nickel Plate road relative
to the transfer of through freight be
tween New York and Chicago.
The plan arranged was to have the
fast freight transferred as soon as It
reaches Buffalo, cither way, and avoid
the delavs heretofore experienced In
the Buffalo yards. It Is intended to
run freight from Buffalo to New York
in eleven hours. The arrangements
made will permit of the transfer of
freight cars the same as Is done In the
passenger service and will prove a
great convenience. The plan will go
Into effect on August 1.
Next week General Superintendent
Bussell and Mr. Daly will have a con
ference with representatives of the
"Wabash and Grand Trunk lines with a
low of making similar arrangements.
The Lackawanna's plan Is to have
those roads deliver their fast freight
at n fixed hour dally at Buffalo to be
, made up Into a special freight "flyer"
and hustled through to Iloboken on
passenger train time.
Time Checks nt the Shops.
Within n few davs the employes of
the various shops under the Lacka
wanna company will receive numbered
checks, which will serve the purpose of
keeping lines on the men during the
working hours. Kach man will rccclvj
a number and a check with the corres
ponding figures stamped thereon.
These checks will bo given out each
morning as the men enter the shops,
will be taken up at noon, and again
given out on their return, and depos
ited with the timekeeper when the
men leave the shop. Thus the thns
worked by each man will be recorded
from dav to day.
The system Is In vogue In many of
the largest shops In the country, and
will not Interfere with the working
hours at the shops.
Mammoth Locomotive.
The Newark Advertiser of Saturday
contained the following dispatch from
Hoboken nbout the big locomotive for
the I.ackawannn line that Is being
erected in this city:
"The officials of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and AVestern railroad are
nwaltlng the arrival here of a mam
moth locomotive, which has been con
structed at the company's shops at
Scranton. It is said to be the largest
locomotive on the road. Its most re
markable features ure the diameter
of the cylinder, which Is twenty-two
Inches, and the length of the stroke
is thirty Inches.
"The boiler Is 74 Inches In diameter,
or nbout twenty-four Inches more than
the nerage locomotive. It is twenty
lilno and one-half feet long. The foot
board Is six feet from the rail.
"The height from the rail to the top
of the boiler Is over twelve feet, and
from the rail to the highest point ot
the locomotive Is llfteen feet. The
drivers are fifty-seven inches. The
the ninun of the body.
Next in importance to a nible in the
house is a thoroughly reliable and easily
understood doctor book. With such a book
for ready reference, parents can often cure
the ordinary family ailments without the
expense of consulting a local physician.
The mo3t complete, the simplest and best
Illustrated book of the kind is the People's
Common Sense Medical Adviser, written
by that famous and successful Iltiffalo,
N, Y., physician, Dr. R, V. I'ierce, who has
been many years and is to-day treating and
curing the afflicted in all parts of the earth.
This book has been termed tbe "Bible of
the llody," because it is to the body or
physical man what the Bible is to the soul
or spiritual man, shedding light and reveal.
Ing truth. It tells people in every day
language how diseases are developed, what
he symptoms are and how they can be
turea. its pictures snow tne appearance
kf all organs, muscles, and nerves of men
Hid women. It treats upon every phase
nd complication of disease. The infor
mation in this book has been gathered by
Er, Pierce in his world-wide practice, and
Is 'founded upon actual experience not
upon theory. More than 1, 200,000 Ameri
can homes contain copies of this book.
Formerly it sold for $1.50 a copy. Now it
Uree. Send 31 one-cent stamps to Dr.
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., to pay tbe cost
of mailing only, and he will send you a
Sopy of this looS-page doctor book, bound
a paper-covers. If you prefer a cloth
lound copy, send 31 stamps.
Mrs. R. T. Mod fort, of Lebanon, Watren Co.,
Ohio, writes) "I drop you a line to let you
know I have receWed the Medical Adviser. I
think ft a great prize to get so fine a look for so
mall a sum, A crisp new rive dollar hilt could
not tempt me to. part with it, so you see I am
wonderfully pleased over it. My husband said
te ne, ' Vhat wok U worth five dollars to you.' "
Baking
Powder
firebox is nine feet wide and ten feet
and six Inches long. Thero nro 13 two
Inch' flues and the heating surface of
firebox and flues Is 3,000 square feet.
"The steam pressure Is 200 pounds,
with a traction force of 41,000 pounds.
There are eight driving wheels with a
two-wheel pony truck. The capacity
of the tender tank Is 5,000 gallons. The
call Is six feet long and ten feet wide.
"The new locomotive will be placed
on the passenger service line between
Iloboken and Scranton. The railroad
men say that It will smash the time
records an the road."
Free Refrigerator Service.
Hereafter on Tuesdays and Thurs
days, special refrigerator cars for local
freight of a perishable nature will
leave Bath, Oswego and Utlca bound
east. At Blnghamton the contents
will bo redistributed, Scranton con
signments to be placed In a car by
themselves and the other two cars to
be devoted to New York consignments.
Kvon though a shipper should U3e
a whole car the company will stand
for the Icing and ask only the regular
rates. Heretofore small shippers had
to make use of the express or risk
their goods In unrefrlgerated cars, un
less they were willing to stand the ex
pense of engaging a car and Icing It
themselves.

WAS TERRIBLY MANGLED
Frightful Death of George MacAr-
thur Who Was Employed at
nt the North Mill.
George MncArthur, 17 years of age,
and a son of Elliot MacArthur, of 501
South AVashlngton avenue, was almost
instantly killed at the North mill ot the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company
yesterday morning.
The young man was employed as a
rtationary engineer and also assisted In
switching the cars carrying the ashes
to the dump.
There Is a slight grade as the track
enters the mill and when the oars nro
run back empty It Is his duty to assist
in spragging them. Sometimes they
come in very slowly and on these oc
casions It was often Mae Arthur's cus
tom to stop them by placing his back
against the end car nnd digging his
heels into the ground. It is believed
that he attempted this nnd was thrown
beneath the wheels. No one saw the
accident.
The wheels passed over his left leg,
body, and the lower part of the face,
mangling them fearfully. He was alive
when taken out and the Moses Taylor
hospital ambulance was summoned. He
had only gone n short distance with It,
however, when he died. The remains
were taken In charge by an under
taker and removed to the home of his
parents.
The young man's father Is a foreman
at the mill and he had been employed
there for several years.
Coroner Roberta conducted an Inquest
last night with Morris AVllllr.s, D. S.
Ryan, G. A. Miller, J. F. McDonough,
Henry Brown and David Bowen ns
Jurors. A verdict of death by accident
was returned. Austin Schefller. an
other boy employed near to whore1 Mac
Arthur worked, was the foundation of
the 'theory advanced .above. He says
he was looking for a sprng when Mae
Arthur ran towards the front of tha
trip, nnd he presumes that he attempt
ed to stop the cars with his back as
described.

CONTRACTORS HAVE
ENOUGH. OF MEN
PETER STIPP LAID OF TOUR
MEN YESTERDAY.
Ho Has Only Ono Job Now on Hand
and Is Out Looking for Work.
Union Mon Go to Work for John
Benoro & Sons and tho North End
Lumber Company Frank Carlucci
Has Signed tho Scnlo and His
Men Will Commcnco Operations
Todny.
There Is now hardly any doubt
that the carpenters' strike In this city
is practically ovei. The members of
tho Builders Exchange make and havo
made this statement for some time
past and the more conservative of tho
Btrlkers are now of tho same opinion.
The members of the Builders' Ex
change, who .are admitted to bo tho
largest contractors In the city, all de
clare now that they have plenty, and
In some cases more than plenty of men
to carry on all existing work. In a
largo portion of cases the members are.
out looking for contracts, which does
not Indicate that they nro being handi
capped to any great extent.
The fact Is that there Is n very de
cided depression in the building trade
In this city. Various causes nre
assigned for this, some say It Is duo
to tho strike, others that tho largo
number of vacant houses in tho city
nro responsible for It. It exists, how
ever, and on It hangs tho key of the
entire situation, There nre very few
large buildings In course of erection
or to bo erected before winter.
Peter Stlpp, tho contractor, stated
to a Tribune man yesterday that nil
the work he has had on hand Is fin
ished with the exception of tho new
hotel on the Boulevard. He says that
ho was obliged to discharge four men
yesterday Instead of taking on new
hands. He further stated that he
was out looking for contracts to figure
on.
HAS ENOUGH OF MEN.
Contractor Schroeder, ono of tho
largest contractors In tho city, has only
two jobs on hand, both of which are
nearly finished. The Bolt and Nut
Works, Is progressing rapidly and w ill
soon bo completed. The work on the
new bank building on Lackawanna
avenue is stopped because of delay In
securing Iron work, on account of tho
great demand for the latter through
out the country. The latter building
Is, however, over half done and upon
the arrival of the Iron work, can be
easily completed by the men at pres
ent In Mr. Schroeder's employ.
The only other large building of any
consequence to be erected Is the new
structure which E. S. Williams will
construct for J. D. Williams ' Co., on
Lackawnnnla avenue. Mr. Williams
also has sulflclent men to complete
this job when the necessary materials
arrive.
The Builders' Exchange are simply
maintaining their firm stand for tho
reason that necessity does not demand
Mint they accede to the demands. If
the men all returned to work today
tliere would not be sufllclent work to
employ only a very small proportion
ot them. Therefore, the members of
the Exchange realizing, as they claim,
the utter futility of yielding do not
do so.
John Benoro & Sons and the North
End Lumber company yesterday re
ported having a number of union men
at work. The strikers admitted this
but said the number was very small.
The small contractors who havo
signed the agreement are doing a con
siderable amount of work on a small
scale. There Is no doubt but that all

CARLUCCI SIGNED.
Frank Carlucci yesterday afternoon
signed tho agrecmnt of tho stonecut
ters' union nnd the men will go back

ances between tho two were satisfac
torily adjusted and Mr. Carlucci agreed

Tho master plumbers and tho strik
ing plumbers havo not ns yet come to
an agreement, but one Is looked for nl-
most any moment. It was thought
that a conference would be arranged
yesterday, but none took place.
THAT BIBLE CONFERENCE.
Reports Concerning It Listened to
Last Night.
The Workets Band of the Young
Men's Christian association held a well
attended meeting last evening In tho
association rooms. The principal fea
ture of the meeting was the report of
tho Bible conference held nt Eagles
mere, which were read by E. J. Ilanes
and Philip Haendlges.
The conference was held in Eagles
mere, Sullivan county, from July 15 to
23 nnd was attended by over 3J0 men
and women'from all' parts ot tho state.
The reports told of tiro wonderful ef
fect the sessions seemed to have upon
thoso present and of the great desire
for Bible study instilted Into so many
lives. It Is expected that a very large
delegation from Mils city will go to the
conference next year. .
