ODDS AND ENDS OF NEWS
OP THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD
Work That Is Being Done Preparatory to
Laying Foundations of the Y. M. C. A.
Building The Board for Today.
"Work ulll li Ik'ruii on the founda
tion ot the now Young JIgii'h Chris
tian association building, on Washing
ton avenue, within the nest week or
ton duyH, if the weather pprmltH. This
excavating has been almost completed
now, but there Htlll Ih a large umottnt
or bed-rock which mint bipt out oC
the way, The work of excavutton luiM
given the big eiowd ot men whom
Contractor Williams has at work, n
good deal more trouble than was iin
t Initialed, and aluio.it every day sUratas
of exceedingly hard rock were struck.
Contractor Williams has now or
dered a large amount of the necessary
building tnutorlal, nml the contract for
the greater part of the Iron work to
be used has been given to the Phoe
nix Iron works, nt Phofnlsvllle, Pa.
The Columbus Hrlek company, of
Philadelphia, has been granted a veiy
large older for the brick, which Is to
be utilized In the construction of the
edifice. This brick Is of u peculiar bun'
color, spotted with small specks, and
Is known as the Iron mottled brick.
The order for the granite, which
will be used In the lower part of the
structure, 1ms be".n given to u V r
lnoiit Hi m. The approaching cold
weather will play havoc with Hie
building operations, and while the
foundation may be given a fair start,
still It Is not likely that any very ex
tensive woi k can be done until spring.
It is desired that work be started on
the masonry as soon as possible, but
if winter lets loo.e its Icy bluets, any
doings or this nature will be effectually
stopped.
Plant Will Soon Be Kemoved.
The plant of the l,acka wanna Laibti
eating company, on Capouso avenue,
will bo transferred to Wilmington,
Del., by Dec. 1. The deal between the
local stockholders and a number of
Wilmington capitalists, by moans of
which several of the Hcranlon people
withdrew from the company and the I
Delawnreans came In, has already
been mentioned in these columns.
Word has now been received at the
works that everything Is almost In
readiness at Wilmington for the trans
fer of the works.
A large building has been purchase'!
on Front street, Wilmington, and the
ivoil: is now being hurried on the foun
dations tor the big boiler and engine
which are to be set up. The ouler has
been sent on for the Scrauton mana
gers to get everything in readiness
for the transfer, and by Dec. 1, at the
latest. It is expected that this city
will have eell the last of this indus
try. The Wilmington plant will ba
much larger than the Scranlon one,
and will employ three of four times
as many hands.
Orders by Division Superintendent.
An order yesterd.iy Issued by Act
ing Division Superintendent K. M.
Kino relieves the conductois of pas
senger trains from hereafter hand
ling railroad mail at Scranton. ThH
mail will now be put in packages and
delivered to the train baggage men
at the station, nnd mail from tho
trains will be dellveivil to the station
baggage men by the train baggage
handlers.
Another outer posted yesterday by
Acting Superintendent Rlne calls the
attention of Lackawanna trainmen to
the handling of steam hose. The rail
loaders are directed to see to it that
all hose Is hooked up with the chain
and hook provided for same, and when
necessary the extra hook Is to b-3 used
to shorten the chain and ptvvent it
irom hanging too low, when uncoupled.
"Tins practice of lilting the hose,"
the order continues, "and throwing
the chain across the end of the coup
ler must be stopped, as It brings the
eiialn in contact witli the brass lace
gasket and ruins, the gasket."
Longest Trolley Bond in the World.
Seven, years ago Albeit h. Johnson,
president of the l.ehlgh Valley Trac
tion company, remarked to a friend in
Ihls city, that he would yet own a
traction road running from this city to
.Haston. Ever since that time he has
kept his eye on all the developments
of traction roads which have taken
place and his ambition to inn a line

Hlecttlc company becomes a part' of the
l,ehlgh Valley Traction company. The
negotiations weiu conducted In the of
llcu of K. it, Smith & Co. The Knston
Consolidated Klcetrle. system, now ab
sorbed by the Lehigh Valley Traction
company comprises the Huston, South
Huston, Phllllpsburg, College Hill, the
Huston, Palmer and Ucthlehoin rouds
nnd Its brances to Nazareth, The en
tire trackage Is about fhlrty-rtve miles.
.Mr, .Johnston's system already com
prises llfi miles and this lease, which Is
for WJ years, will extend his system
to MO miles, reaching from Phllllps
burg, X. ,!., to Hlutlngtnn, and from the
slate region of Northampton county to
licthlehem and from there to this city.
Negotiations are also pending be
tween the Lehigh Valley Trartlon com
pany and the Allentown and Slatlngkm
road and it is highly probable that the
latter road will also pass Into posses
sion of the Lehigh Valley Traction
company. Of all these lines Allentown
Is now the hub from which the electric
spokes radiate. With the absorbtlon
of the Allentown and Slutlngton rotid,
the line reaches from Phllllpsburg, N.

gions of Northampton county to this
city, touching all points between, con

be completed the Until links of what
will prove to be the longest continuous

beginning tit Wilmington, Del., a
passenger will then be able to ride by

on a continuous line from the Quaker
City a total distance of 00 miles t'o

WALL STBEET TBAGEDY.
A Bartender Attempts to Kill His
Wife and Shoots Messenger Boy.
By Kulli'iUp Wire from The .Viim latcil Pie..
New York, Nov. L'l. Wall street was
startled this morning by a tragedy
which 'occurred a. few yards from tho
liroad street entrance of the stock ex
change. John Lanier, a bartender, drew
a revolvvr and tiled to shoot a woman
supposed to be his wife. Three shots
were sent in her direction, but the man
failed to hit his mark. One shot struck
John Daly, u messenger boy.
After ilrlng the shots, Lanier put a,
bottle to his lips, draining It of Its con
tents and then fell to the pavement. A
doctor was summoned, but Lanier died
before his arrival. Caibollc acid had
caused his death.
Daly, the wounded messenger boy,
was removed to the Hudson street ohs
pltal In an automobile. The tragedy
occurred at ! o'clock and Wall and
Krond streets were crowded. At the
first shots the bickers, clerks and mes
sengers scurried away.
Lanier's body was carried Into tho
Western Pnlon olllce at 10 Hroad street.
A great crowd surrounded the place
soon after the tragedy.
THE KENTUCKY'S OBDEES.
Washington Officials Are Still Beti
cent Concerning Them.
II' i:cluslo Who from Tho Aii latcil I'rcvi
Washington, Nov. 21, The battle
ship Kentucky, which has been or
dered to Smyrna, Turkey, has arrived
at Naples. It Is highly Improbable
that the exact nature of the Instruc
tions sent to her commander, Captain
C. JI. Chester, in regard to the visit
of the big armor-clad to Turkey's port
will be made public before she reaches
there. ,
onieials continue to say that the
Kentucky will visit Smyrna merely to
show the Stars and Stripes and lot
the Turkish people s-e what a fine ship
she is, but they admit that she will
remain there at least three days. If
an attempt to compel Turkey to pay
the Armenian indemnity Is to bo made
no well 'informed ofllcia! Is prepared to
admit the fact.
