TO WILKES-BARRE DIRECT.
That Ib What the Trolley Companies
Promise In Near Future.
By Christmas the Wllkcs-Harre and
Wyoming Valey Traction company ex
pects to have Its cats running Into this
city.
It Is thought that by Christmas the
extension of the Scranton Railway
company's lino from Rendhnm to the
county lino will ho completed. At the
county lino It will connect with tho
Duryea branch of the Wllkcs-Barro
and Wyoming Valley Traction com
pany, thus knitting the two systems
together and making It possible to run
a trolley car from Archibald to llanti
coke. Ah soon as the guago of tlv
Carbondalo company's line Is changed
the ride to the north can bo continued
as far as Forest City.
About the connection between the
Wllkes-Barre and Scranton lines John
S. Rlggs, of the Wllkcs-Bane com
pany says:
"The Scranton Traction company
now has a force of men at woik ex
tending Its line to Duryea, where It t
proposed to connect with our tracks,
thus making a continuous line from
ono city to the other. When this ex
tension Is completed and the two roads
connected we will make some arrange
merit with the Scranton Traction com
pany whereby we can run our cars
through from this city to Scranton, ami
wll give tho Scranton company tho
same privilege on this end If they de
sire It. We will, however, run our
cars through to Scranton whether the
Scranton company avails Itself of tho
ptlvllege wo extend or not."
Asked as to what style of cars would
be used and what schedule would bo
followed, Mr. RIgg replied:
"It Is too early yet to talk of that,
but we propose giving the very best
possible service. We have several
large modern cars ordered which will
bo delivered In this city In from six
to eight weeks, which If we find It
necessary, wo can use on the new line.
These cars are larger and more modern
than any wo yet have In operation
here."
m
PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION.
Conducted by the Swiss in Muslo
Hall Last Night.
The five hundred and sixty-first an
niversary of tho declaration of tho
Independence of Switzerland was ob
served last evening by the Swiss of
the city In Music hall.
The main floor and balcony wero
Jammed to their utmost capacity when
tho evening's programme was begun
at 8 o'clock.
Though these sturdy sons of the Al
pine country were celebrating a his
torical event In tho history of their
own country they did not forget the
land of their adoption, for draped on
either side of the stage with the white
cross and red ground of tho Swiss em
blem was the American flag.
The programme given was varied,
Including a national dance by a num
ber of tho younger people, nil attired
In the picturesque Swiss peasant cos
tume and a one act play entitled "UU
Rotach's Tod." It was a relief to seo
the sincerity and earnestness with
which those who participated in this
little piece transacted their roles.
There was also an excellent series
of clneomatograph pictures presented
by Prof. D. Petri Palmedo, of the In
ternational Correspondence Schools.
Dancing followed the evening's pro
gramme and a very large number of
those present participated.
The committee in charge of last
evening's nffalr was composed of tho
following members of the Scranton
Grueth Verelns, under whose auspices
it was conducted: J. S. Gyr, M. Roth,
R. Traub, Ernest Gloor and John
Brunschwyler. There are upwards of
1,000 Swiss In this city, which Is a
very large number when tho smallnes3
of the country's population is taken in
to consideration.
GRADUATION EXERCISES.
Two Nurses from Hahnemann Hos
pital to Receive Diplomas.
On next Tuesday evening in the Al
bright library lecture room the annual

mann hospital and the first gradua
tion exercises of tho training school for

tal, will preside at the exvrclses.

ing to thoroughly advertise nil the
cities and towns along Its lines with
the purpose of inducing travel to these
points. In connection with such ad
vertising It proposes to issue a com
plete directory of hotels and boarding
houses In each of tho towns along the
lino. No charge will be made to any

u(.,v,.j iiiiii . niuimuj a Jiuiuiuiuati
caucus Is likely to be a very quiet at-
fair the subsequent steps will not bo
as tamo. For Instance, tho Democratic
caucus Is likely" to bs productive of
some lively pklrmlshlng. There ara
several candidates for the different
nominations.
John J. Lof (us. tho Wyoming nvenua
druggist, nnd ox-Common Councilman
John J. Flanaghan will cross swordr
for tho nomination for alderman, nnd
Thomas Roche and T. P. Gilcallon will
do battle for the nomination for com-
mon council. For school controller Dr.
John O'Mnlley and John Collins are
avowed ennd Mates and there Is a pos
sibility that Charles Zeldler, the pres
ent school controller of the ward, will
seek renomlnatlon. Tho memtton of
his name In connection with a re
nomlnatlon docs not awaken much
enthusiasm, however, nnd If he is a.
candidate he will have strong oppo- I
sltlon In his own party. i
The Eighth wnrd has about an equal ,
number of Republicans nnd Democrats
and It requires lively work on the part
of a candidate to win out. In conse- i
quonce local flchts are never dull In
that ward. As an evidence of the close
ness of the ward It might bo mentioned
that It now has a Republican alder
man and common cnuncllmrn and a
Democratic controller and select, coun

TIN PLATE FACTORY
SEEMS ASSURED
MANUFACTURERS' COMMITTEE
TO REPORT FAVORABLY.
L. K. Torbet, of Chicago, Will Como
to This City Monday and Begin the
Organization of tho Company, tho
Capital Stock of Which Is to Be
$200,000, Which Will Probably Be
Raised by Popular Subscriptions.
West Scranton Mentioned as a Fa
vorable Slto for the Plant.
Another large now Industry, namely,
the tin plate factory, proposed by L.
K. Torbet of Chicago, Is now Insured
this city If tho citizens themselves
show their Interest by subscribing to
tho capital stock of tho company to bo
organized.
The manufacturer's committee of tho
board of trade, after making a search
ing Investigation nnd securing cstl.-
mates and figures on tho cost of the
steel used as tho foundation of the tin
plate, have decided that the outlook Is ,
favorable for the establishment of the
Industry In this city, nnd that It can .
be worked nt a profit to those who In- i
vest In the itock. j
Thov ill accordingly present n, set
of r ' ilutlons to the board at Its reg-1
ular meeting on Monday overlng, en-
i dorslng the Industry nnd recommend
i. It, IT ir Tn , In miAMn a AAnnl.lnrn ,,nr nP
'" '"- . v.wr...,u..,ij.. u.
the public. These resolutions will un
doubtedly be- adopted by the board,
which will thereby glvo ltn approval
to the project.
TOllRET INFORMED.
Mr. Torbet has been wlrd of this
fact and has been requested to bo In
attendance nt tho meeting to give any
Information which may be desired. Ho
i will Immediately enter actively Into
I the work of organizing the company
and securing the capital necessary for
the establishment of the plant.
It Is proposed to fix the capital stock
of the company at SSOO 000, of which
sum Mr. Torbet himself will subscribe
W5.000. Mr. Patton, the manager, will
probMilv subscribe about JS.000, leav
ing .1T0 000 to be ralspd by popular sub
scription. While no definite plan has as yet
been fixed upon, it Is very likely that
subscriptions from ono share up will
be accepted, allowing thu rank and fll
of tho community nt largo to Invest In
tho company Instead cf having- tho
stock held by a few. If this plan falls
and not enough money can be raised
In this manner, there Is hardlv any
doubt but that more than sufficient
capital can bo raised In large amoun'a
from among the rich and Influential
citizens of tho city.
Of this X200.000, $103,000 will be ox

ATHERTON ENTHUSIASTIC.
Secretary Atberton of the board of
trade waxes enthusiastic over the Idea
that the industry can b made a West
Scranton one. Two option on plots
of land In this partlculni section of tho
city have been secured, on'1 from tho
Delaware, Licliawann and Western
company and the other from .Tolip R.
Fnrr. Pith of these are on the line ot
the Lackawnn"n's Kyr.or Valley
branch, whlor cnnld be used as a car
rier for tln finished product.
All together the outlook Is especially
favorable for tbe rstabllfhr.icr.t of tha
factn-y In West Sctnnton. nnd all that
' moulted. In t'i" ni," of Secretary
Athetton. ts tru i.nrnrrr co-operation of
nnnio ot the prominent citizens of Hyde
Park. '
The new Industry will employ ths
services of J00 mr-n. some of whom
will draw very lnrgo ray. Tlmro are
no tin plat" factories e.ist of Pittsburg,
so that If the new facte ry Is built h-ro
It will have n clear field in the eastern
market for the sale of Its product.
It Is generally understood that tho
T.nckawanna Iron and Steel company ,
have signified tblr ability to furnish i
the quality of steel bars required at
a satisfactory price, thereby removing
from the question the payment ot
freight on this raw material, which Is
In Itself a very Important consider
