THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1899.
NORTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA
THE HAILROAD STRUGGLE.
Interesting Developments Expected
In the Lacknwaxen Valley.
Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Hawley, Pa.. Nov. 24. Some Interest
ing developments, growing out of the
projected new railroad, arc promised to
this section if we 'may Judge from pres
ent Indications. It was announced on
Monday that the Delaware Valtey and
Kingston Railroad company would op
crate the canal from Hawley to'Rond
outi the object being the distribution
of supplies for the new line, and Inci
dentally other business. Considering
the lateness of the season and the like
lihood of a near approach of winter,
boats were to begin running on Tues
day. The L'rle has effectually blocked the
navigation of a section of the canal
for a time nt least. On Tuesday night
It set n force of men at work filling In
the canal at Lackawaxen where Its
tracks cross the canal. Car after car
of cinder was dumped Into the canal,
until the pile aioso to the girders of
the bridge which spans the ditch.
This move would clearly Indicate that
the Erie Intends fighting the construc
tion of the new line. Moreover, It has
a corps' of engineers, with headquarters
at this place, engaged In surveying the
canal route between Hawley and Lack
nwaxen. The Pennsylvania Coal com
pany has two gangs surveying, one at
Lackawaxen and another working in
the vlclnty of Rowlands. The out
come of the contention between 'the
two companies Is watched with much
interest. Should the Erie build and op
erate Its own line from Lackawaxen to
Hawley It is possible that the Erie and
Wyoming Valley will use its own tracks
now leased to the Erie. Should the
nbove prove to be the case, the long ex
pected main line of the Erie may pass
through hero very soon.
SAW MILL BURNED.
Structure Belonging to Wall & Mur
phy Destroyed.
Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Hawley, Pa., Nov. 24. The steam
saw mill belonging to Wall & Murphy,
lumbermen, of this place, which has
been In operation for some time past
at Tafton, about three miles from Haw
ley, was completely destroyed by fire
last Tuesday night. The mill had been
used during tho day, but It is said
that It was not possible for the fire to
start from the boiler. The conclusion
reached Is that It was of an Incen
diary origin.
Tho loss of the machinery and other
appliances of the plant will amount to
about $200. Besides this the firm is
deprived of the means of filling a large
number of orders for lumber and ties
which they have on hand.
D. & H. IMPROVEMENTS.
Canal Basin Tiack Is Connected with
the Erie Road.
Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Honesdale, Nov. 24 The Delaware
and Hudson track which passes through
the canal basin has been connected
with the Erie track. The work Is being
pushed forward in order to get a train
of coal through from Carbondalo over
the new railroad connection before the
close of the present week. The filling
at the Blandln bridge Is completed.
The foundation stones for the turn
table have been laid.
Tho foundation for the passenger sta
tion is progressing and will soon be
ready for the dressed stone which
has commenced arriving. Sixteen men
are now working on the foundation
walls.

f f -H
earnest interest has been aroused this
week by an occurrence at the oil well
at the South Branch of the Great East
ern Oil and Gas company. Contractor
Doo has for sevcial weeks been bend
ing every energy towards getting tho
great quantity of tools out of the old
well. For a few days the string of tools
being used In the work has been fast
In the main gas sand, being caught by
a caving 1n of rock.
On Tuesday they were released and
removed, the result being followed by
a big spurt of gas, water and oil. The
pressuie of gas threw, a spout of water
high over the derrick and there was
also considerable oil of n, rich golden
color. The gas caught fire and burned
fiercely, the entire foice of drillers be
ing unable to gain control for several
houis. An experienced gentleman
states that thete Is no doubt but what
the well when cleaned out would pro
duce at least four barrels per day.
Work la now being rapidly pushed and
a second well will soon be drilled.
REV. NATHAN LEIGHTON.
Kdltor of Tho Tribune
Sir: Tho notlco In this morning's
Tribune of tho death of Itev. Nathan
Lclghton, of Tunkhannock, recalls tho
announcement In a recent issue of the
proposed reunion next summer, of the
ulumnl of rranklln academy, at Har
ford. Tho statement was then made
that Hon. G. A. Grow Is the oldest liv
ing alumnus of that institution Mr.
Lclghton, an alumnus, and bunietl.ne
principal of rranklln academj, was ten
jeurs Mr. Grow's senior, and lucre ate
living; In this Immediate neighborhood
three alumuls of the. satno school, L, W.
Stone, Mrs. Esther Slsson Stone nni
Andrew Lcighton, who uro le.H'ectlvely
live jcars, two jeurj and one jcar older
than Mr Grow J l trail othe-i 'u I
supposo to bo living, among them Mrs.
Clarissa Tucker Tracy, of Illinois, who,
older than either of these three, was at
last accounts still engaged, con umore, in
her lifelong work of teaching.
I trust I shall be pardoned for adding
a few words commemorative of the bo
fore-named deceased veto an. He began
his academical studies In his twent
second year, having f'om early boyhood
worked diligently on his father's farm In
summer, attending an Indirtcrent district
school In winter, till his seventeenth
vear, after which his wlntcrd were cni
plojed In teaching. His father had all
his labor and all Ills wage3 till he xvas
twentj-ono, and ho ovea declined the
modest sum In money which us father
would havo eh en him on nttalnltig hli
majority, Judging that h s parent j needed
It moro than ho did, for the banging op
of his numerous younger luutniri mil
sisters. In those dnjs tho larmms of
Susquehanna county were hard pushxi
to realize enough aaa from th.'lr eai 3
sales to pay the year's -axes.
Thus handicapped by a lite beginning
and want of means, Mr Lclghton worked
his way unaided through tho academy
and the New York university and took
a three ears' theological course at Au
burn seminar Tills was at that time
an undertaking many times more formid
able than a slmllnr one would bo In Oils
ago of princely endowments, numerous
liberal scholarships and multitudes of In
dolent rich students willing to pay a com
petent tutor what would then hao bren
regarded a fabulous prico for coaching
In their studies I recall his home-coming
at the summer acatlon of his first year
at tho university. There wero no rail
roads In out direction and he was fain to
take an Inexpensive louto that offered
observation of new phases of life with
opportunity for leading and study Utile
Inferior to that of his own room This
was by steamboat to Albany, thence ly
tho Erie canal to Utlca and the Che
nango canal to Hlnghamton, finishing
the Journey with twenty miles on foot.
Mr Lelghton filled successive and suc
cessful pastorates In Cuba, N Y.j Cham
plain, N. Y.; Vantage, N. J., Newfound
land, N. J., and .Tewett, N. Y. His
standing In college Is Indicated by n re
mark of Professor Da Ponta beforo tho
class In Latin: "Mr Lclghton nlwavs
does well." His standing In seminary
may bo Inferred from tho fact that his
class wero In tho habit, on the retiring
of a certain professor, of requesting
"Bishop Lelghton" to tako the chair and
make a review of tho professor's ,lec
ture. The quality of his preaching when
fresh from scmlrary. was attested by Dr
Doubleday, who was regarded as prime
authority on pulpit efforts In the rirst
Presbyterian church of Blnghamton,

when tho young licentiate had been in

Gregory's pulpit. "Ills sermon," said
Doctor D , "was ono continual stream

About twenty years since, Mr. Leigh
ton was constrained by falling health to
rotlro from tho active ministry, With
tho few thousand dollars which his ef
ficient and frugal wife, had enabled him
to save from his modest salary and In
cidental sources, he purchased a small
farm adjoining tho pleasant village of
Tunkhannock, where he found recrea
tion, health and prolonged llfo in tho
employment of his boyhood years, ne

TUNKHANNOCK.
Special to Tho Scranton Tribune.
Tunkhannock, Nov. 24. The commit
tee appointed nt the meeting of tho
stockholders of the canning factory,
C. A. Hungcrford and Aaron Brown,
havo viewed the various sites available
for the placing of the factory and
finally decided on a plot of ground
along the Lehigh Valley railroad be
longing to the Nicholson estate, pro
vided it could be purchased at a rea
sonable figure. C. O. Dershlmer, esq.,
representing tho estate, hns gone to
Philadelphia to Interview the parties
Interested and get a price fixed on the
lot. Several othersltes were consid
ered, among them one on the T. H.
Ryan farm north of the borough, which
was offered free of rent for a term of
years, but being too far from the rail
mod was not available. Messrs. Em
mons and Burnett, who will construct
the plant have gone to Elmlra to make
arrangements for machinery, etc.
William Smith, of Buffalo, N. Y., Is
visiting with Noah Lenox In this place

iam E. Kelfer, of this place, has enlisted

The nssoclnte Judges of the county,
Hon. A. M. Eastman and Hon. F. M.
Vaughn, with their clerks, J. Wood
Piatt and H. S. Harding, met at the
court house on Friday at noon for the
purpose of computing the returns of
soldier votes 'as provided by law. As
no soldier votes were returned to the
nrothonotary a return to that effect
was made. Wyoming county has
enough soldiers In the volunteer ser
vice to have changed the result In the
vote for several of the county offi
cers provided they had succeeded In
casting their ballots. An error of the
election board of Washington township
was called to the attention of the
Judges nnd a coirectlon of the com
puted vote asked for. On Investigation
it appeared that the board had made
an error in making out the return sheet
for the urotbonotary and John W.
Gray, Domociatlc candidate for sheriff,
was returned as having received elghty-
-slx votes, when the tally sheet showed
101 votes, thus making Gray's majority
twenty-three Instead of eight as re
turned. The decision of the Judges
was that they had no authority to al
ter the returns and the vote officially
stands as before computed.

SQUEHANNA.
Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Nov. 21. Ellas Hath
away, a Susquehanna county wood
chopper, now at work near Parker's
Glen, had an exciting experience on
Tuesday. Ellas has killed a score of
bears In ten years In Pike nnd Potter
counties. His gang was going to Lack
awaxen on Tuesday, so he thought ho
would take a half day off. So ho shoul
dered his axe and started down tho
hillside. Presently ho struck a bear
track In tho road and followed It. For
forty rods or so the track led along a
mountain ledgo to a uarit hole under
ft lnrtr, rnnk thnt at,.l mf Biin.nl
feet from tho lodge.
Thinking that tho bear had gone Into
his den for the day. Ellas stonpot
under tho rock out of tho wind to light
his pipe beforo resuming his homeward
Journey. Just as ho struck a match
ho heard a bear growling nnd snarling
In his den. ne grabbed the nxe, but
before ho had time to turn around, an
enormous bear came forth nnd struck
him In tho small of the back and sent
him sprawling Into a brush pile, fif
teen feet below.
He fell on his hands nnd knees, hav
ing lost his axe nnd almost his breath
In the headlong plunge. He floundered
out ns best he could, but before he
could get hold of some saplings to pull
himself up to a point on tho ledge
where he thought hs axe might be, the
maddened and hungry bear clambered
down the bluff and plunged at him.
The brush piles were a God-send to the
woodchopper, for the more tho bear
tried to reach him tho deeper into thi
tanglewood he got.
At this time Hathaway was vrathy,
and ho wanted to kill that boar worse
than he ever did any bears In his life,
so he got a stick, and, climbing up tho
bluff, began to poke around the spot
where he supposed the axe had fallen.
All at once he felt a tremendous
thump In the back, and the next thin
ho knew he was sailing down the bluff
again. He caught hold of a small tree,
thus stopping his flight, and looking
up he saw a second bear making for
him. He pulled his jack knife out of
his pocket, nnd, when the bear mado
a rush, he gave him a jab in the eye.
The animal flinched, but made an
other rush, and got n stab In Its other
eye for Its pains The bear was now
blinded, and Elias let him flounder
while he hunted around for his axe.
and piesently found It about four rods
down the mountain. Then hn c-ot .a
flat.stone out of the ledge and placed It
I as near the first floundering bear a3
ho dared to go, and standing upon tho
stone he soon crushed the bear's skull.
Then he went back and killed the blind
bear at his leisure. Thoroughly tired
out, Ellas went to his boarding placo
The next day he took some of the
I woodchoppers nnd brought the two
bears Into tho village.

pioved rather moro Influential on tho
Keneral list than that in the Industrials,
'lho undertone of tho market was unmis
takably strong and In the latter part of
the day tho strength became moro gen
eral. Prollt taking beforo the clo3c rcJ
duced prices from the best. In tho body
of tho active list net changes are surpris
ingly small, and while tho majority nro
gains thero are Important exceptions on
the side of losses The Baltimore nnd
Ohio stocks veto tho center of lnterst.
The buvlng of these stocks vns large
from the opening, but ns the closing hour
approached tho dealings nssumed aston
ishing magnitude Blocks of many thous
