THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 181)5). 2 3 NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA LACKAWANNA'S SHORT ROUTE I'ROrOSED LINE AS VIEWED BY AN EXPERT. A Prosperous Country Would Con tribute Business to the Line Which May Run Through Bradford Coun ty Farming Districts Opinion of the Schemo from Mr. Ira Pinch. Special to Tho Scranton Tribune. Towanda, Oct. 30. Tho latest idea as to the proposed branch of the Dela ware, Luckawuna und AVostern rail road Is t'lven by Mr. Ira Finch, of Windham, one ol the most able llnan ciers of Eastern liradford. lie forwards to the reporter uf The Tribune, with a request to be published, the following: I noticed thut tho proposed branch of tho Delaware, Lackawanna und Western railroad from Nichols, N. V., to LcRuys vllle, l'a., was ugaln being ugltated; and that tho high olllclals of tho road con templated passing over tho proposed routo nt their earliest convenience. Bald route to follow tram Nichols up the main "Wappasenlne creek to little Wappusenim;, thenco up tho little Wnppasenlmr and down tho 'VVysox creek to tilllctt bridge, thenco up Johnson creek to LeRaysvlllo, a distance of 26 miles. Whilo it would develop a rich valley, as stated in your paper, and, wo might add, very much In need of a railroad, yet it is question, ablo with people familiar with tho pro posed routo nnd also with a moro direct route, whether tho direct routo should not bo passed over as well as tho pro posed one. Tho short route would also run up tho Wappasenlng creek from Nichols and continue up tho straigiu branch of said creek through tho Caioy swamp and on to LeRaysvlIle, a distance of 10 miles. "VVhllo tho direct routo would leavo out tho enterprising village ot Borne, it would take in tho prosperous town of Warren Centre. A round trip on tho direct lino would raako a run of thirty-two miles, with a moderato grade tho whole distance, and the line so direct that thero could bo air lines for quite distances; while tho pro posed routo would run a heavy nrado from Nichols to tho Shoemaker summit, then down to a lower point than Nichols, then mako tho whole grado again from GUIctt's bridge to I.eRaysvlllo, a round trip run of fifty-two miles, running -many sharp curves to follow so crooked a route. Either of these routes would furnish such an amount of freight as perhaps no country within a great distance nf here would furnish that has no railroad. But it seems there aro other considerations of moro Importance than local freight, one of which Is rapid transit from New York west. Tho direct line from Nlch ls continued on by LcRnysvlIlo down a branch of the Wyaluslng creek, thenco tip tho Wyaluslng, passing by or near Sprlnsvlllo to Nicholson on tho Tunkhan nock creek in Wyoming county, Pa., would shorten the run from New York, wpit, something over twenty miles, be fdrs continuing to develop an Inland nnd pioductlve country. Tho milk freight the cnllro dlstanco would bo immense; It would bo dinicult to estlmuto tho number of creameries nlonc tho routo and In closo proximity to It. It Is claimed by some that tho Tunk hnnnock hill from Nlcholnon cannot be mndo on to SprltiKvllle. Having tiavoled over tho road I never noticed nnythlna serious to contend with, as tho routo makes down tho TunUhannock creek from Nicholson, nnd It Is evident thnt the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western could mnke Sprlngvlllo by running down tho "pdnkhannock, when tho Monlroo railroad makes Sprlngvtllo, running tip the Tunkhannock from Tunkhnnnock vil lage. A survey of the proposed road will be begun nt once between IoRnysvllle nnd Nichols, N. Y. Surveyor Dunning, of Scranton, will be In charge of the work, and will commence nt Glllett's bridge, near Rome. It Is being done prepara tory to tho examination of President Truesdale, of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western company. The project seems to be brightening to a large extent by those Interested. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. and Hudson construction work has not Interfered very seriously with the pro gress of tho work. Steam shovels are kept busy working. There are only about thirty strikers still out. Very few of tho old employes left their work. Vice-President II. a. Young, on being Informed of tho strike, sent tho following to Superintendent Man ville, and which has been posted up In the olllco of Muer: "You may stop nil work If necessary Indefinitely, if we cannot got other men In their places. Shall drop all work of con struction Improvements In Iloncsdnle until next spring." ENDEAVORERS OF DELAWARE VALLEY on certain set dates will bo allowed to shoot at tho birds. It Is tho Intention of tho association to erect a hatchery for birds and will enter extensively Into the breeding of gamo birds. A number of English pheasants have al ready been Imported for that purpose. Apllcnllon will shortly bo mndo to amend the present charter In order to Include, game. m MODERN MIRACLE. FINANCIAL.

Montrose, Oct. 20. The closing exer cises of tho teachers' Institute were held this morning at the school house. The section woik as arranged did nit take place, tho time being all devote 1 to the following subjects: "Trend of Modern Educational Ideas," Dr. Davis; "nights and Duties of Childhood," Dr. Smith; "Physlcnl Culture," Dr. King. As on former days during the past week, the hall was packed and all listened with In terest to the remarks made by tho dif ferent professors. Tho Tribune cor respondent, In order to get from the different Instructors their impression on the result of their efforts, or, in other words, what was tho success of the institute, is pleased this morning to give the views of a number of them. Dr. Andrew Thomas Smith, profes sor at the Normal school, Mansfield, said: "One of the greatest marks of success of this institute is plainly shown by the earnest and serious work characterized by nil the teachers from the first to the last. This is my first visit here, so I cannot compare the ap parents results with former occasions." Superintendent of Schools Maxley said: "I think the Institute Just closed has moro, If possible, than at former ones, started a great number of the new element to thinking. It has been a source of great benefit to nil, and Its results will make themselves apparent later on." Dr. King: "There was a great deal of Inspiration and enthusiasm created. Teachers aro apt to lack methods and the Institute Just passed worked to cor rect wrong Impressions nnd started teachers to investigate a new line of thought and practice. The school Is like a church. It must have a creed and the art of teaching has developed so far that It is now considered a sci ence. The old method of teaching Is no longer In vogue and will not meet the requirements." Dr. Sherman Davis, superintendent of State Normal school, at Blooming ton, Indiana: "Dr. King fully ex presses my views. I think this Insti tute started many to thinking and n large percentage will take up new Ideas In their work." STRIKE AT HONESDALE. Thirty Delaware nnd Hudson Strik ers Aro Still Out.

Mllford, (Pa., Oct. 20. The regular October session of tho Pike county court was possibly ono of the shortest ever held In Its history. It only lasted n few hours. Hon. George S. Purdy, of Ilonesdale, president Judge, and his ns soelates were on the bench. The con stables of the various townships, with the exception of Georgo T. Smith, of Porter township, made their usual re turns to tho court. The viewers, who upon petition of a number of the tax payers were appointed nt the last ses sion of tho court to change tho public road in Westfnll township, along tho farm of Prof. Charles S. Pierce, report ed that they had laid out a road. Upon motion of C. W. Bull, esq., Captain John B. Williams, a prominent Strourlsburg attorney, was admitted to practice In the courts of this coun'y. There wns an , Interesting case in wliieh Mrs. Elmlra Quick, A town charge In Lackawanna township, was the plaintiff. Mrs. Quick charged the defendant, who Is her son. with non support. The old lady, who Is very feeble, took the stand nnd told tho court that her son had entered Into an agreement with her In January, 1S97, to pay her $2.50 per month during the re mainder of her natural life, and showed a paper to that effect. The small monthly stipend hud been paid regu larly until August, 1S9S. Mrs. Quick said she Narked nothing outrageous of her son, Insomuch as she had been left a widow when he was only five years of acre and she had supported him by getting out railroad ties, hewing fence posts, cutting wood and like labor. Sho stated that her son wns married and had a wife nnd one child. lie Is em ployed on the Erie railroad and is re ceiving $10 nnd $30 per month. Mrs. Quick had no counsel. Her son was represented by Attorney Marvlne, of M.atamorns, nnd ho made a statement to tho court that his client did not deny the allegation, but attempted to secure himself wlh the plea that he was very much under tho Influence of liquor when he signed the agreement. The court thought the defendant ought to ho willing to pay $2.r.0 per month nnd continued tho enso until December term of court, hoping that the parties, would amicably adjust tho dlllleulty by that time. Quick entered Into bonds on his own recognizance for appear ance at tho nest term of court. Two Houses in tho Vicinity "Blazing Stump" Destroyed. Special to Tho Scranton Tribune.

Both houses were now nnd Just com pleted; one of tho buildings was not rented an yet. The origin of the fire Is unknown, as Mr. Buscha was at work and Mrs. Buscha was In town shopping.
