SPECIAL GRAND JURY.
May Be Drawn to Oonsidsr th Cru
sade Cases Begun Binco the
Last Grand Jury Report.
It 13 not improbablo that a apoelnl
grand Jury will l)u summoned to paaa
upon tho bribery pronacutlona insti
tuted by the Municipal league.
Tho next regular session of the frxanil
Jury Is not until September, and tho
crusaders feel that their nlda o tho
case will not, to say the leaat, be bene
fitted any by a long delay. To prevent
the cases from becoming "cold," nnl
lessen ns much as possible tho oppor
tunities for intermeddllnsr, they desire
that the transcripts shall b pnssed
upon before court takes its summer
vacation. They nlso believe that a Jury
drawn for the special purpose of con
sidering these cases will be more llktly
to realize tho importance of their task
than one which will have Its attention
divided by hundreds of other cases.
The fact, too, that tho public will bo
especially watchful of a special Jury's
deliberations, and the fact that this
will be fully realized by the Jurors,
should, the crusaders argue, have the
offect of holding them close to tho line
of duty.
Tho summoning of a special grand
Jury is discretionary with the court,
and tho crusaders propose to use their
best endeavors to have court exercise
this discretion. An order from the
bench Is all that is necessary to bring
it about. The Jurors would bo drawn
in the Hamo manner as usual from
among thoso whoso names still remain
In tho wheel.
Should tho drawing eventuate, the
crusaders will have representatives
present to bo able to satisfy the public
that on this occasion, at least, nothing
occurred to give ground for the sensa
tional yarns about tricky Jury drawing,
which have done so much to lessen the
public's confidence In our Jury system.
It waa authoritatively stated by a
member of tho Men's union yesterday
that tho union has decided to acceu"
to tho compromise proposition of tho
indicted licensed liquor dealers. This,
In effect, Is that they will give assur
ance, by somo reasonable security, of
future strict observance of tho law if
tho prosecutions against them ara
dropped. No such deal, however, will
be made with thoso whoso cases wero
Ignored, tho union's representative said.
There Is every indication, and somo
very strong evidence, that the grand
Jury was unduly influenced in their
favor, he went on to say, nnd aa Jury
tampering Is a far greater crime than
the original offense, and one against
which tho crusade is especially direct
ed, It is not to be expected that terms
will bo mado with the Interested par
tlsa who, to say tho least, benefitted
from the crime.
No arrests wero mado yesterday,
though several aro In contemplation,
ovidenco against more dealers for
liquor law violations having been gath
ered last Sunday.
B. D. Sturgea returned yesterday
from Connecticut, where ha was called
last week by the illness of his daugh
ter. Ho declined to be quoted Just at
presont on the live features of tho cru
sade, but Intimated ho would be heard
from In duo time, especially on the
criticism of his action in tho North
Washington avonuo paving matter.

DOUBLE TRACK ROAD
TO WILKES-BARRE
WOBK O IT WILL DB BEGUN
AT ONCE.
The Connell Park And Bpoodwny
Hallway Company Will Build the
Scranton Division Koad from
Here to Pltttton to Be Constructed
by the Bcranton and Northeast
Railroad Company, Which Was
Gkartered at Harriiburfj Monday.
Asked Wilkes-Barre for I ranchise.
Tho double-track trolley road be
tween this city and Wllkes-Uarre,
herotofore referred to in The Tribune,
is to bo constructed as fast as the
work can bo prosecuted.
This morning englneors begin tho
work of lnylng out the Scranton di
vision, which will be built by tho Con
nell Park and Speedway Hallroad com
pany, granted a franchise by tho coun
cils last week.
Monday at llarrlshurg a charter was
granted to tho Scrantor. and North
cast Hallroad company, which will
build tho roud from tho city lino near
Connell park to Plttston. Tho name
company may build tho lino from
Plttston to Wllkps-Uarro, or another
company may bo chartered t build
that part of the road. That matter
lmH not yet been decided.
The company chartered Saturday
has a capital stock of 2100,000, subject
to such increase as may be necessary,
and wan Incorporated by the follow
ing: T. P. Penman, president; Hon
M. E. McDonald, C. C.Mattw, A. P.
Bedford, of Scranton; Henry C. Riley,
Jonathan Jenks, Stanley It. Kotcham,
of Philadelphia; Hon. 11. K. Focht. of
Lewlsburg; U. 8. McNaul, of Lock
Haven, and C. D. Boughton, of Buffalo,
N. T.
PLANS OF COMPANY.
This company has secured a private
rle,ht of way from tho city to Broad
street, in Plttston, following tho bed
of tho abandoned Pennsylvania Grav
ity road for the greater part ot tho
dlstnnco.Thc road will follow this bed
into Plttston, intersecting Broad street
In tile rear of the Plttston stove foun
dry. To that point none of of the pub
lic streets of Plttston will bo used.
Grade crossings, bo far as possible,
will bo eliminated and to accomplish
that and avoid hvy up or down
grades thn company will build over
one mile of steel viaducts between thla
city and Plttston.
From Plttston to Wilkoa-Barro it Is
paid a private rls;ht of way hns also
been obtained, but within tho borders
of Wllkes-Uarre, as In this city, tho
councils will bo asked to grant the
usu ot tho public streets that tho
company may secure a terminus at
tho square.
An ordinance was introduced In the
Wllkes-Uarre council lsst night to
grant tho Wllkes-Barre Railway com
pany the right to lay tracks on Chest
nut street and Washington street to
Market street. This would bring tho
road from tho Plains township line
to within two blocks of tho square
in Wilkes-Bam. The company offered
to pay the city one per cent, of its
gross receipts and pavo twelve feet of
the center of tho street whenever a
pave is laid on these streets. The ordi
nance was referred to a committeo for
consideration.
WILKES-BABBE DIVISION.
This company, if it secures tho fran
chise, will build tho WllUes-Barro di
vision of the road. Tho Wyoming Val
ley Traction company now has an or
dinance before councils asking for per
mission to lay tracks on tho samo
btreet the Wllkes-Darro company ask.
The road is to be equipped with flno
large cars, modelled on tho lines of
passenger coaches on steam roads.
They will be run in trains. It Is tho
Intention to make tho rato 30 cents
for a slnglo faro to Wllkes-Barre, or
B0 cents for a round trip ticket. Be
tween this city and Plttston thero will
bu a fifteen minute servlco from 6 a.
m. to 8.30 p. m., and a half hour ser
vice after that hour until 1 a. m. Tho
location of the shops and buildings ot
tho company has not yet been decided
upon, but they will probably bo In
this city. To popularize tho road peo
ple will be carried free of chargo dur
ing one day of tho week of tho first
month tho road is in operation.
The Scranton division of tho road,
for which tho Connell Park and Speed
way company has tho franchise, will
bo first erected and tho promoters of
tho enterprise hope to have cars run
ning on it by October. William F.
Mattes has been chosen for tho im
portant position of engineer of tho
company, and under his supervision
a number of englneera will this morn
ing begin tho task of Iayinsr out the
Scranton division.
One of the things cm which tho com
pany contemplates spending a good
deal of money Is a pleasure park, to
bo located near the Speedway at the
terminus of that spur of the road. It
will be supplied with a Casino, theater
and the other adjuncts of an up-to-date
pleasure park.
Tho plans for the theater havo al
ready been prepared by William Henry
Boughton, a Buffalo archtteot, and
show a handsome building of ornato
design that will hava a seating ca
pacity of 1.F.00. It will havo wide
promenades, lounging galleries and
other conveniences usually found in
warm weather theaters. In front of
it will be an electrio fountain and In

In tho suit of John Meyers against

The plaintiff claimed the company waa
negligent in allowing tho boy to work
