Result of the Cresco Wreck.
The Investigation relative to the
wreck at Cresco, In which Engineer
Caleb Thomas lost his life, has been
completed by Superintendent Salisbury
and the result is that Conductor A.
I... Widenor, Brakeman Thomas Stev
ens and Rrakeman William Brink have
been dismissed from the service.
Brakeman John Dougherty, who was
on the rear end, and who saved one
of the ears from the wreck by cut
ting It away from the runaway train,
was given a thirty day suspension
mark.
The accident Is attributed to the fail
ure of the men to test the air brakes
after a defective hose had been re
moved. Superintendent Salisbury, when
heen yesterday, would not discuss the
investigation, but admitted that the
crew had been dismissed, and that
the wreck was caused as stated above.
Rock Island's Extension.
It Is officially announced that a
Hock Island extension la to be built
from Liberal, Kan., to White Oaks, N.
M. The necessary surveys have been
made, and arrangements for construc
tion work are said to be well ad
vanced. At White Oaks the Rock
Island will connect with the El Paso
and Northeastern railroad, which in
turn connects with the Southern Pa
cific at El Paso.
Representatives of the Rock Island
road say that by means of this exten
sion and Its connections their com.
pany will have the shortest route fiom
Chicago to Los Angeles, Cal., and also
the shortest route from Chicago to the
City of Mexico. Aliout 360 miles of
new line Is to be built between Lib
eral, Kan., and White Oaks, N. m.
The entire length of the new route
will be 2,193 miles, which Is, declared
to be about seventy miles shorter than
the Atchison route. The Hock Island
will own the load from Chicago r
Whlto Oaks, a distance of about 1,223
miles. The El Paso and Northeastern
furnishes a link of 155 miles and the
Southern Pacific line from El Paso to
Los Angeles covers 812 miles.
Naturally theie will be a lively
rivalry between the Hock Island at.il
tho Atchison for traffic between Chi
cago and El Paso. Tho Hock Island
management made Its arrangements
for this extension so quietly that the
real character nf Its intentions was
not understood by rival lines until le
ccntly. The line to be constiucted
from Liberal, Kan., will extend south
easterly across Beaver county, Okla
homa, to Clayton, N. M., and thence
Houthwesteily about 250 miles to Whlto
Oaks, iNL' Mexico. New York Sun.
&
K) Tunnel the luountain.
Tho luovalllncr opinion hereabouts Is
that thero Is no coal nt C'onynBlnni
station, whereas tho fact Is just the
reverse. The State Keolnirlcal survey
completed in 1S&0 shows three veins ot
considerable thickness, tho Wharton,
Huck Mountain nnd Mammoth, says
the ConyiiKhnm Herald. During tho
operation of the several companies
that mined coal there, less thnn ten
per cent, of tho deposit has been
taken out, and a conseivatlve esti
mate of tho coal still In these mines
is one million tons.
The chief dllllculty In getting this
coal is the bad top on the south pitch,
principally clay with thousands of
tons of excellent sand for building
and foundry purposes covering it,
with the Black Creek breaking through
whenever the workings approach tho
surface. It is proposed to tunnel the
mountain and empty this water In the
little Nescopeck Creek, strip tho sur
face, market tho sand and mine Oil
coal. Measurements for the tunnel
have been taken, showing 783 yards to
be bored to reach an outlet near
George MInnlch's house at the foot of
tho mountain. A twelve-Inch pipe
underground from there will carry all
tho water off to tho ,crcek. As soon as

An Armless Operator.
Some business men of the city wcwo
admiring this morning n sample of
writing executed by P. Shea, general
yard master of the Delaware and
Hudson railroad. Mr. Shea had both
hands cut off some years ago and In
wrltlnc picks up Ills pen with his
mouth and llxes It In a steel clasp at
the end of one of his shortened arms.
.Speaking of Mr. Hhea, the gentle,
man ho exhibited the wilting claimed
that a story of Mr. Shea's success tit
the world should be published as an
exanjple of what persistence, Industry
and faithfulness could do for one even
with the most serious handicaps.
Mr. Shea was at one time a fireman
on the road. Ho figured In an acci
dent and lost both his hands. Undis
mayed by this gteat calamity he fixed
his mind on going ahead In the world.
Despite bis loss he managed to learn
to be a telegraph operator and soon
became noted for his accuracy and
ability. Ills promotion to better things
followed as a matter of course, and to
day as yardmaster he holds one of tho
most desired positions of those at this
station. Illnghainton Herald.
Burke Brothers' Railroad.
Burke Brothers, the contractors, re
cently built a bianch narrow-guage
road two miles long, which mns from
the Krle and Wyoming Valley road at
Bock Junction to their quarries In the
mountain above.
The road was opened this week, and
the product of the quarry Is now sent
down to the Krie and Wyoming Val
ley over this road.
This and That.
Consul Winter, of Annaberg, calls at
tention to a German official report
which shows that Argentine exports of
wheat to the continent are Increasing
enormously In markets hitherto held
by the United States.
The prospects for the locating of the
Crown Steel company's plant in tins
city appear very favorable. AV. T,.
Hushton, of New York, tho president
of the company, who is now In the
city, states that the $73,000 worth of
stock will probably be subscribed for
within the week. If the Industry
comes here the local stockholders will
be entitled to four out of a board of
nine trustees, while tho treasurer w ill
be a Illnghainton man. Blnghamton

shipment of thirty lO-whceled passen
ger engines for the Paris-Orleans rail
way of France. While tho works are
kept busy on largo orders, both for
eign and domestic, booked early In the
year, comparatively few orders are
said to be coming In at present, and
those mostly of an unimportant char
acter. This dearth of orders has been
attributed to the usual midsummer
dullness, and not to any special falling
off In the demand, due to the unsettled
condition of prices In the steel and
Iron markets. With the arrival of fall
It Is expected that new and Important
orders will be booked.
The Hallroad Gazette prints a list of
brldges.plans for the building of which
are under consideration, and for which
contracts are yet to bo let. Tho laig
er Iron and steel and some structures
of every character, whether used by
railroads or not, are Included, An In
timation of the extent of this work Is
found In the fact that there are not
less than 730 entries under 476 cities
and towns of tho forty-nine states and
territories of the United .States, eight
Canadian provinces and six foreign
countries. These Include probably be
tween 1,130 and 1,230 new bridges.

UR ANNOUCBMENT to close our store during
August on Saturdays at 12 o'clock noon has brought
us such a flood of congratulations that we are
moved to take recognition of the very generous
words of our friends in this public acknowledgment. We have
made this departure in the interest of our employes, to afFord
them necessary rest and recreation during the heated term, and
we believe the movement will be appreciated by them and the
public in general. We are convinced that this policy is in line
with the best business thought of the present age and we trust
that the movement will become general, thus placing Scranton
up to the spirit of the times and on a par with the larger cities
of the country on the question of the Saturday half holiday.
We would respectfully request the buying public to anticipate
their wants and make their purchases, if possible, before 12

But we have more wheels in stock at present
that we have room for, on account of our fall
