lowing. The ofllco of the pension de
partment will be In the Broad Street
station.
Pensions will be allowed upon the
following basis: For each year of ser
vice 1 per cent, of the average regular
monthly pay for the ten years preced
ing lctlrcmcnt. Thus, If an employe
has been In the service of the conpany
for forty years and has received on
an average tor the last ten years $40
per month in regular wages, Ms pen
sion allowance would be 40 per cent, of
J 10, or $16 per month. The beneficiary
may engage in any other business, but
cannot ie-enter the service of the com
pany. In addition to the pension allow
ance, which Is entirely a gratuity from
the company, the employes relieved
from the service on account of ago
limit, who are members of the relief
fund, will also receive from the Income
of the surplus fund accumulated dur
ing the past fourteen years an addi
tional allowance each month.
Leipe Trespass Suit.
A case of particular Interest to rail
road men wns decided in Wayne county
last week. William Lelpe, a brakeman
on the Erie, was killed by being thrown
beneath the train from a foreign car
on which was an adjustable brake of
a design that Lelpe was. unacquainted
with. It appears that he went to sit
on the brakewheel and, It being adjust
able, descended with his weight and
caused him to lose his balance.
The heirs sued for $15,000 damages,
alleging that the brake was of an ob
solete pattern and that the company
should have Instructed Lelpe In its use.
The company alleged that the brake
was of a common pattern and that, at
all events, Lelpe lost his life in putting
the brake to a use for which it was
never intended, namely, a seat. Judge
Purdy granted a compulsory non-suit.
Kimball & McCarthy represented the
plaintiffs. The defendant company's
counsel were Major Everett Wan en
and Hon. C. P. O'Malloy, of Wlllard,
Warren & Knapp, and Homer Green,
of Honesdale.
This and That.
Second Vice-President Young, of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company,
states that the company has placed
o lers for forty-two locomotives of the
latest type, to cost JS0O.000, and for
4,000 freight cars at cost of $4,000,000.
Next year the Pennsylvania railroad
will put more money in improvements
than in any previous year in its his
tory. A laige number of new cars fend
locomotives will be put chased and ex
tensive Improvements will be made at
several termlpyils.
Cold weather has stopped work on
the Great Northern railroad west of
Havre, except In a few places where
Improvements necessary to the opera
tion of the line are being made. Forty
miles of new track have been laid be
tween Havre and the Rocky mountains
and the amount of money expended In
roadbed Improvement, ballasting, con
structing of new bridges and culverts
and general betterment work during
the season is Imensc. On the Cascade
division fourteen miles of track Is be
ing laid and altered for the purpose if
cutting out curves and avoiding
bridges.
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Under this hearting short letters of In
terest will be published when accompa
nied. for publication, by the writer's
name Tho Tribune does not assume re
sponslblllty for opinions here expressed.
An Answer to the Trio.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir. Tho lint, btale and unprofltablo
dl&scitatlon, mpposed to bo written by
tin eo youthful boys of tho high school,
minted in Tuesdays Scranton Republi
can, is cirtalnly a Philippic of Juvcntli
odor, cheap uttcranco and rank hypoc
lUy. It was signed by u Frcar, a I.'ld
blone, and an Edgar, all prodigies cf
blasted hopes, childish aspirations and
continually iiueatcii selfish purposes. If
u pirson did not know thoso fellows or
wnfan't aware ot tho muny petty bchemes
they hatched, only to bo killed, the mat
thought that uould dawn upon one would
be to the effect that this unhappy trio
weio evidently belfg dally nourlsht-U by
the stiungthenlng tendencies of "Jle-lin's
infant food," but as wo know them from
personal contact we aro therefore not
ono bit sui prised at their strange an-
i tics, blatant bcllowlngs ind poor pencil
lngs. A short uccount of tho trouble that they
refer to will now bo in order. A meet
ing of tho school was called for the pur
pose of seeing whether or rot tho pi In
eipal bhould iccehe a Chilstmas token
of the students' esteem f.nd appreciation
, When tho object of tho morning was an
nounccd, the "Uelllgercr.ts" Immediately
started to cieato trouble. Tho first severe
I setback .hey received was when Iloovcn
was toundly thrashed whilo becking the
chairmanship. Hero Is where their per-
nonul Jcalotby got the better of thorn and
hero Is where they mado an Irreparable
mistake by opposing the motion to give
tho principal a pre bent. In other words
they refubed to contribute their humblo
penny for tho purpote.
"Edgar" argued cioubwlso and sidewiso
but wasn't aware of the laugh the school
enjoyed on him "Murtln" argued neicc
ly but unwisely. The veteran. "Krear,"
the apostle of parliamentary practice,
failed to see how "IIooven"'was defeated
for tho chalimanshlp Thero wbh no at
tentlon paid to "Lldstone," so history
bears no record of his "remnrksl" When
the "Belligerents" saw -that they had
brought themselves into disfavor by op
posing the principal in vigorous terms,
they tried to retrieve themselves, but It
wns too late. They did It and now they
are sorry. They have their pennies, tho
school has their records. It was tna fear
of having the rest of the school and fac
ulty think that they were opposed to tho
principal that prompted the poorly writ
ten article In yesterday's paper.
And a word about tho "ring" that thpy
claim overthrew organization. For thr'eo
years not ono of tho "Belligerent" ever
held an ofllclat position In school or In
any way connected with It. The foot ball
team, tho champions of tho county, was
not composed of "Belligerents." Tho ath.
letla association Is not .dominated by
them. Tho opera, club that gave" two"
highly commendable performances dur
ing tho past two years was not controlled
or Influenced in any manner by this
crowd of "grumblers."
Successful? Well, you can rest assured
that anything tho so-called "ring" had
In charge In the Scranton high school
prospered and flourished and any move
ment that was not endorsed or handled
by this "powerful" rln,g failed. dismally.
Every, good movement In tho school Is
fostered and promoted industriously by
tho "ring." For maintaining good order
and proper decorum In tho school tho
"ring" bears the palm. Every, thing that
Is antagonistic to good conduct, proper
bchnvjor and the enforcement of dis
cipline, can bo attributed to those who
oppose tho "ring."
The "ring" Is composed of all tho sensi
ble, unselfish and refined malo and fe
male students of the school. Tho "ring"
M tho majority by over seven hundred.
Tho balanco disgruntled "Belligerents."
Tho "ring" obeys tho mandates of su
perior officers. The members of the
"ring" do not stamp their feet In tho
auditorium or hiss when a, preceptor
arises to speak. The members of tho
"ring" aro In accord with tho teachers,
obedient and respectful to tho principal
and loyal to tho superintendent and board
of control.
Placo me, O place mo In tho dusty "ring"
Where youthful charioteers contend for
honor."
