Patrolman Davles Had a Hard Fight
with Seth' Thompson.
Patrolman David Davles had a very
tough tussel with a prisoner named
Seth Thompson, on Saturday night.
The man was arrested for being drunk
and disorderly, and on the way to the
station house he resisted violently.
He made desperate efforts to get at
one of his trouseis pockets, and the
ofllcer, suspecting that he had some
weapon, held both his hands and wltn
the assistance of his club managud
to land him In the station. When
searched a long, ugly-looking open
knife was found In the pocket ho hnd
been trying to get at.
As the fellow was In a bad humor,
there Is no doubt but that he would
have used this on the ofllcer had he
got a chance. Mayor Molr committed
him to the county Jail yesterday
morning for thirty days In default of
a $10 fine.

TO CHANGE FROM
LEFT TO RIGHT
Bloomsburg Division of tho Lacka
wanna Is to Lose a Feature
That Made It Distinctive.
It is proposed by the Lackawanna
to change the llloomsburz division to
a right handed roid this summer. The
preliminary work has been begun at
Pittston Junction, where the Lehigh
Valley tracks are crossed.
The "Bloom" has been a "left-handed"
road ever since It was constructed
half a century ago. Coal constituted
nbout all that was carried on the road
in its early days and as the coal yard
In this city was arranged as to "lead
ed" and "empty" switches so that it
would be necessary for trains to
"cross" one another If tho "Bloom"
was made "rlght-hanJod," It was de
cided to adapt tho English custom of
having tho road "left-handed.".
As far as practical advantages go,
It makes little difference whether a
road Is "right-handed" or "left- hand
ed." It is simply a matter of custom.
In England they are "left-handed" and
In most other countries "right-handed"
because of the highway custom of the
respective countries. In England you
turn to the left on the road; in this
country to the right. As far as Is
known here, the "Bloom" Is the only
road In this country running left-handed.
A few years ago one of the New
England roads .changed from left to
right, and tho railroad papers at the
time stated that the Lackawanna and
Bloomsburg division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Westtrn would be
the only road In the country to em
ploy tho "left-handed" system of run
ning Its trains.

This Is The Lino In Which Many
Scrantonlans Are Interested.
Opinions Expressed with Refer
ence to tho New Arrangement.
The El Paso, Texas, Dally News In
Its Issue of July 12 contains an an
nouncement which will Interest a
large number of Scrantonlans and
other residents of Northeastern Penn
sylvania who have Invested in the
securities of the New Mexico Railway
and Coal company or who are con
cerned in allied developments. A spe
cial dispatch to the News from Lib
eral, Kas dated July 11, says:
"This morning the Chlcngo, Rock
Island and Pacific corps (of surveyors
started overland west to begin tho
preliminary survey on the proposed
extension of tho ltoclc Island south
and west Into tho New Mexico ten l
tory, with a connection to White Oaks
or Carlzoso, close to White Oaks,
where the El Baso and Northeastern
railroad Is now completed. The out
fit consists of Chief Engineer W. D.
Worral, sixteen men and five wagons.
Mr. Worral anticipates a stay In that
country of about ten months. While
the chief engineer was unable to tell
anything official, he agrees with tho
public sentiment that tho prospective
extension is now assured. From the
Interviews secured from the officials
at this place, everything portends a
new road for the great southwest.
"In consequence of the movement
real estate has gone to a high price
and mortgage lifting is raising a dust
In which prosperity Is written In largo
gothlc letters."
CONriRMED.
In tho same Issue of the News Is the
following dispatch from Chlcago.dated
July 12:
"Today, upon being shown your dis
patch stating that surveyors of the
Hock Island company left Liberal yes
terday and admitted that they were
headed for El Paso, an official at the
general olllce of the company said tho
report was correct. 'There Is today no
longer any secret about It,' he said.
'We do not tell of railway plans In
advance of a determination, for ob
vious reasons. But the extension from
Liberal has been fully determined
upon and the route Is In a general way
settled, although variations may be
required by the survey now being
made. We had surveys made many
years ago for a line to El Paso, cross
ing the Pecos valley near Eddy. In
fact, the Liberal branch was designed
for the southwest, with the view of
getting New Mexico, Texas, Arizona
and (' Mfornla business. Then a
change of plan was made that hung
up that line and sent us down to Fort
Worth and Indian territory.
" 'There was once a thought of ac
quiring tho Texas and Pacific line
west from Fort Worth, but that idea
was abandoned and we no longer need
or seek that route, since we have the
chance given us to get the through
business desired without buying a line
and by building an extension through
a fine stock country that will furnish
a paying local business. We are not
going to build to El Paso, but have
an agreement to go to a common
point, presumably Clayton, New
Mexico, where we will interchange
business with the El Paso and North
eastern railway, which will be con
structed to that point. The matter Is
simply a traffic arrangement, mutual
ly satisfactory, by which passengers
and freight business will be handled
as If by one line and the proceeds di
vided In the way usual to connecting
lines.
L " 'Our wide reaching lines extending
Into Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Illinois, Missouri, Ne
braska, Iowa, Kansas, Texas nntl In
dian Territory will carry business to
Southwestern Texas, Mexico and tho
Pacific coast through the gateway of
El Paso as the spout of a funnel car
ries from the spreading mouth. We
will not have trackage rights, but our
freight cars will run over the connect
ing line and theirs over ours, and
through sleeping cars between Chi
cago or Kansas City to El Paso and
perhaps to the City of Mexico and
California, will be run.
NOT PLANNING TO ABSORB.
" 'No, we are not planning to absorb
the El Paso and Northeastern rail
way. It Is not for sale; It Is a paying
line and has not been offered to us.
But Mr. Parker went Into that terri
tory months ago and saw the situa
tion in regard to El Paso, the advant
age of entry there and the outlets from
that mart. Tho agreement to build to
a common point was virtually com
pleted several weeks ago, as the direct
result of tho efforts of President
Charles B. Eddy, of the El Paso line,
who camo here with C. D. Simpson, of
Scranton, Pa., president of the New
Mexico Hallway and Coal company.
Their road has made a wonderful rec
ord for tho first year, by reason of
local resources.
" 'The local trade that now goes to
El Paso may be cut off to some ex
tent, but El Paso will gain a hundred
fold moro than she loses by tho ex
tension. It may be that the tendency
of roads to consolidate may result in
tho Hock Island eventually owning
the connecting line, but that Is not
now thought of. With the advantage
of from 200 to 225 miles saved between
El Paso and the east, under the mile
age of all other lines, and good terri
tory for local business the two lines
could fear no competitor.'
NO OBSTACLE IN SIGHT.
"But will not the Santa Fe-Pocos
Valley combination head you off on
this?' was aBked.
" 'No,' was the answer, 'at the best
they can only play even If they run a
line from the Pecos valley to El Paso
as surveyed. I think most likely our
move will force the Santa Fo to ex
tend the Uagerman line, but that will
not alter our plans In the least. We
have been rivalling each other In ex
tending lines in Oklahoma. AVe have
a good country and so has the con
necting line, for local trafilc. We have
weighed the chances and are ready to
go ahead, as soon as our survey is
ready. Both lines will grade through
the winter and lay steel next spring.
We ought to get to Clayton approxi
mately at the tame time, the way the
work Is divided. Both will work with
all reasonable dispatch.

engineer has made a buckbourd sur-

know about what the cott will be, and
It cannot change our plans. Tho con

NEW MOVE WELCOMED.
As showing the local feeling In re
gard to this railway extension the
News prints special dispatches from
Demlng, N. M., the City of Mexico and
Clayton, N. M. The Demlng dispatch,
among other things, says:
"The railway extension to Liberal
mentioned In your dispatch of Inquiiy
Is one long desired by the cattlemen
of this region, because it will save
perhaps one feeding and watoing en
route to Chicago. Many cattlemen wlli
drive from this region and even points
northward across tho open country
and mountain ranges of Lincoln coun
ty to ship cattle from White Oaks to
Kansas City, saving mileage at this
end and making a shorter haul gen
erally. Besides the stock driven to
such a shipping point, the Southern
Pacific, which cannot take the cattle
from this point to KansaB City, nor
even to Chicago without a long haul
that Is not practicable, down through
Texas or via the Gulf, will enter the
field to get a haul to El Paso, thence
over the White Oaks-Hock Island
short lino. In addition to the cattle
this company can pick up In Grant
county, at Lordsburg and Demlng, in
cluding those driven here from across
tho Mpxlcan border, tho Southern Pa
cific hauls many cattle from Sonora
and Arizona into Demlng and turns
them over to the Santa Fe, which it
will be sure to take for the haul to El
Paso, where the shorter haul and sav
ing In time to Kunsas City will be of
great advantage. Any line 200 miles
shorter must get the traffic. Some idea
of the cattle business to bo striven for
may be gained when It is known that
the shipments from Demlng and points
west passing through here over the
Santa Fe, or turned over here by the
Southern Pacific to the Santa Fe has
In a year amounted to 9,000 carloads."
AS VIEWED IN MEXICO.
Tho dispatch from the City of
Mexico says; "Tho new line from El
Paso eastward will relieve the Mexi
can Central by giving It a shorter cut
to Chicago, Independent of the Santa
Fe nnd in competition for Mexican
business, and one result may bo that
the special excursion trains to the
Mexican capital may come by El Paso,
as they did before tho international
combination was mado which turns
tho excursion business over to the
Mexican Central at Torreon for the
short haul only. These excursionists
no longer see El Paso except they go
from hero to California. The Santa
Fe does not work for this business In
Chicago earnestly, preferring to take
the sight-seers to California over Its
lines via Albuquerque.
"It goes without saying, remarked
one railway official, that a short line
from El Paso to Chicago will be quite
an Inducement for the Mexican Cen
tral to offer passengers and shippers
of live stock and perishable freight.
Hallway men here friendly to El Paso
think the new route will shake up the
old lines, give El Paso and Mexico
lower rates, compel other lines to
shorten mileage to the border and
double the population of El Paso In
two years."
EFFECT ON CATTLE TRADE.
The Clayton dispatch says: "A line
crossing the Denver-Fort Worth road
here would have an Immense business
from this cattle and wool section, and
In going to White Oaks or vicinity
would go by Liberty and Puerto do
Luna and clear to White Oaks would
be splitting wide open the great wool
legion that has in the main done busi
ness with Las Vegas and Hoswell.
There Is much country along such a
route that will bear a larger live
stock business than has yet been built
up, because of remoteness from rail
ways." Mr. C. D. Simpson was asked by a
Tribune representative on Saturday If
he had anything to say concerning
this matter. He acknowledged to hav
ing been in Chicago with Mr. Eddy
recently, but added that at this time
he had nothing to glvo out for publi
cation. TEMPERANCE REUNION.

Tlie definite announcement can at
last bo mado that T. H. Watktns has
resigned the presidency of the Temple
Iron company, but that the resigna
tion has not been accepted and that
efforts nre being mado to have Mr.
Watklns reconsider his determination
to retire. Mr. Watklns Is up In Ver
mont, enjoying a rest from business
cares, but one who is In a position to
speak with reference to his affairs
said Saturday:
"Mr. Watklns resignation means
Just this and nothing more. He has
more business cares than ho believes It
Is good for one man to burden himself
with and he is anxious to lay some of
them down: that's the reason he would
retire from tho presidency of the
Temple Iron company. That concern
knows the value of his wonderful ex
ecutive ability and Is loath to lose him.
If ho docs retire, Sir. Watklns will
continue to retain his large Interest In
that concern.
"He Is part owner In 45,000 ttcres of
soft coal land In Cambria county, thl
state, and he also has extensive In
terests in New Mexlro, all of which
demand a certain amount of his at
tention. Mr. Watklns believes a man
should not give up all of his time to
business and money-making, he would
have time to enjoy and appreciate life,
and his desire to lay aside the presi
dency of the Temple company Is a
step in that direction."
Park Commissioner A. P. Bedford
has been telling a good story this past
few days on Colonel W. G. Schoon
niaker, of the Elmhurst Boulevard
company. The park commissioners
have. It seems, already commenced
the removal of part of the menagerie
across tho river to the eastern side of
the park. They decided one day this
week to move one of the animal cages
and It wns accordingly placed on board
a wagon and started on Its Journey.
Mr. Bedford avers that Just as It
was being taken across tho bridge
Colonel Schoonmaker came driving
across, coming the other way. Now,
as everybody knows, the city has been
trying to have the company's toll
gate removed outside the park and
seeing the animal cage being hauled
across the bridge, the colonel natur
ally jumped at tho conclusion that the
city had decided to take matters In
Its own hands and was moving the
toll house away.
"Here you, stop there!" he yelled at
the driver, but that Individual kept
driving along placidly, without turn
ing his head.
Mr. Bedford says the colonel
whipped his horse up and drove very
rapidly over the bridge, probably pre
paring to say things to the toll-gatherer
for allowing the toll house to be
taken away. When he reached the
curve In the road and saw the com
pany's house standing, he resumed his
usual calmness of demeanor and de
clared that anyway It was too warm
to get excited.
A. J. and P. J. Casey, the new own
ers of the Lyceum and Academy of
Music, are two typical Scrantonlans.
This city owes Its progress not alone
to Its natural advantages but In a
groat measure to the fact that Its
moneyed men have vied with each
other in contributing to Its upbuilding,
putting their money Into Its real es
tate or Industries, rather than In for
eign investments, or government
bonds. The Messrs. Casey have come
to be rated among Scranton's wealth
iest men and It Is said of them that
they have no patience with an Idle
dollar and that not a dollar of their
money is Invested outside the city.
They have a seat in the board of trade
and as is attested by the secretary,
they are far from being the last to
come forward with financial help for
a new Industry seeking a local capi
talization. Most of their Investments, however,
have been made In real estate, nnd In
addition to two of the handsomest
residences In the city they own two of
the best business blocks on Lacka
wanna avenue, the one In which Is
located their wholesale liquor store
and the Grand Central hotel, and the
