TonlKht there tlll be helil In the ollleo of Attorney Y AV. Watson, In the Trailers' bank Inilldlnp, a confer ciit'o between u special Joint commit tee of council and the otllclals of the Ablngton Turnpike company, with a view of setllliifr the long-standing dis pute between the elty and that cor ponitlon regarding West Market street, which Is, properly speaking, the Ab lngton turnpike. Tho company bus practically Hgteed to cede all Its rights to that portion of the street within the city limits, pro viding tho city will pave It, and It Is this proposition which Is to be dls ciijised tonight. The niujorlty of the members of the committee favor the plan, and It N more than likely that they will report favorably upon It to councils. Just whether tho mujotity of the abutting property owneis on the street fuor a pave Is not known, but one thine Is certain and that Is thut they all want street car facilities, and these they cannot got as long as tho turn pike company conitols the situation. Tho fianchlsc of the Scranton Itall way company permits It to consltuct Hacks out West Market stieet, but when planned to do so some years ago the oillcials of the turnpike company gave the street railway nfllclals to understand that If they attempted to lay any tracks they would bo fought to the bitter end In court. The street railway people decided that the turn pike company had a pretty good case and they didn't lay any tracks at that lime, nor have they since. Of coutfe, If the stivet is deeded to the city then the company, under Its franchise, can so ahead and lay tracks to the city line, affording transporta tion facilities to the people who are ut prehcnt obliged to walk up the hill. If the committee i eportH favorably on the proposition to councils, It will reaulto u. three-fourths vote to put It thtough, but it Is believed that tne vote will be unanimous. ENGLE MUCH IMPROVED.

WILL BE THE SUBJECT OF DR. HURLBUT'S DISCOURSES. Opened Week of Prnyer la Second rresbytevlan Church During the Week He Will Deliver a Series of Sermons That Will Be a Continua tion of His Discourse of Yesterday. He Says That the Divine Power Is Manifested of God to You and in You Dr. McLead's Sermon. This Is the week fixed upon as tha week of prayer among the Kvangellcal churches of tho world and It will be generally observed In this city. Probably the most marked prepara tions made to signalize tho Aral week of prayer In the new century Is in tho Second Presbyterian church, whete Rev. Dr. Robinson has secured Rev. Dr. C. 12. llurlbut, Of Philadelphia, to conduct a series of services. Dr. llurlbut Is perhaps th bast known, If not tho leading Bible teacher of this country. His long work as state secretary of tho Young Men's Chris tian association brought him into touch with a multitude of people. He frequently visited this city several years ngo In his capacity as secretary and mado an Impression which has deepened and grown In Its piearant relations dining tho lapso of time. Dr. llurlbut Is the director of the Africa -Inland mission, one of the old est and most Important missions on tho dark continent The work is car ried on in Central Aft lea, not far from the Victoria Nyanza, He Is also the leading Bible teacher In tho Eaglcsmore Summer school, CAMU PROM NEW YORK. Dr. Hurlbut has just come from a meeting In New York which has mora thoroughly Imbued him with the con sciousness of the possibilities of divine power In the human heart. Ills work this week will be singularly Interest ing to thoio who desire new light In their religious experience and to those who aro as yet Indifferent. Ite has a most wonderful degree of eblllty in bringing home truths to the hearts of men. During the week the subject of Dr. Hurlbut's Bible readings will bo a con tinuation of his talk yesterday morn ing on "The Power of God." Ho Is a mon convincing speaker, and Is ex ceptionally successful In his ability to so present truths that not only the thoughtful but the careless aro led Into a higher plane of living. He Is a man of distinguished pergonal appear ance and graceful delivery. He spoke yesterday morning from Acts, 1:8, "Thou Shalt Receive Power," adding as a connecting link, the words: "Tho promise Is unto you and to your children and to them that are afar off, even to as many as tire called." He said that few sadder experiences await the child ot God than the sense of weariness and overwhelming sink ing of soul because of their limitations. Yet there Is a note of hope, of glad expectation for tho weakest and most discouraged, as well as those who are already conscious of power.. It Is a nad fact that nine-tenths of the truth i In tho nible fall to bear fruit In tho lives of men. THE WORD "POWER." The translation of the word "power" Is susceptible of two meanings, The one of authority not being touched upon tn these comments. With all reverence It moans the promise In the divine commandment that In our meas ure we may speak as Jesus spoke, "Ye shall receive the divine energy." The limitations placed upon dlvlir power as represented In human life aro bounded by tho meumtre of our divinity. It Is to be regretted that many good pi.-opie are misleading themselves, and others by misunder standing that the manifestation of divine energy In earthly life Is to be applied chiefly In a carnal earthly sense. They fall to realize that dlvlni things are Incompatible with the sel fish sensual realities ot earthly lite. The battle Is ilrt with tho world; second, with the llesh ourselves; third, not with flesh and blood, but tho prin cipalities and poweis of this age of darkness The energy of God Is ptl marlly bestowed In order that the world and tho tlcsh may be success fully resisted by tho Church of God. This divine energy Is not a possession of our carnal lives, but to possess them: not mental, not a mere truth or pilncipal that may be ftudlcd ond tendered into a philosophic; teaching, but a power mnnlfo.-tted which In su perior to and over mind and all of self; not a possession of tho old self jeckoncd as dead in the Word' not possessed by unsaved man, but be longing to the divine measure nnd b? ing applied to all things Is a sign of life. LACK IN DIVI.VH KNKROY. In the meaauio we laik comes tho lack In divine energy. It Is not tho attitude of service of money gifts that Is requited, not the tierce, desperate desire to seek by renewed rcrvlco to God that wo tuny force ourselves to reach the attitude when the strange mysterious presence will come. The power Is of God. We must look well to our heart relations with Him who died that we might havo life and that we might havo it mote nbiuulantly. Tho conclusion of the whole matter Is that the divine power Is manifested Keep Going! Tin words are simple and the order is plain, yet comparatively few are tlri folks who heed. The wotld's greatest engineer ing feats havo taken years of ten acious toll. Persistent mining Is the price paid for all precious minerals.

A NEW YEAR'S DISCOURSE. Was Deliveted by Rev. Dr. McLeod in First Presbyterian Church. Rev. Dr. James McLeod, pastor of tho First Presbyterian church, deliv ered a most forceful and eloquent New Year's scimou last night, taking his text from II Cor., v:17, "Thereforo If any man be In Christ, he Is a new creature; old things are parsed away; behold all things aro becomo new." He expressed the wish that each and every member of the congregation had wlshtd every other member a happy new year and not n perfunctory one, but 0110 out of the depths of their hearts. Ho outlined the dlffcrcnco between the happiness of the young and tho happiness of the old. Tho young, ho said, see not tho threatened storm. They think only of tho morrow. Tho happiness of tho old Is different, ho said. There happiness lies In tha hope of a future heavenly reward. "Hope," said tho doctor, "Is n trusty friend. Wo may havo wealth; we may have power; wo may have everything but If we havo not hope we cannot be truly happy. Hope is necessary to ttito happiness. There In no happy ntw year for those who have no hope." Speaking regarding the necessity of making n firm determlnatlona during tho coming year to live a Christian life of tho highest type, ho said: "Let us put on our heads the helmet of lltjht, let us buckle on tho breast plate of righteousness, nnd let us clothe our feet with the truth of tho Lord Jesus. Then let us tako the shield of faith to ward off tho darts of tho tempter and let us take Into our hand tho sword of tho spirit, to bo used on tho offensive, as well ns on the defensive." The doctor referred to tho remark a certain young man recently made to hint. "Oh, yes," said he, "I've seen some of these holy people and I don't want to be like them. I'd pray to be unlike them rather than like them." "I told that young man," said the doctor, "that he didn't know what he was talking about, and I'm sure he didn't. Thero are people. It Is true, who make their profession of Chris tianity a most melancholy proceed ing, but those who do so are not ex emplifying its true spirit. Christ nev er Intended that His followers should go through life with lacrymose expres sions on tholr countenances." He told at length of the wonderful joy which has possessed Christians from the very dawn of Christianity. He told of the wonderful happiness of Paul when the Roman populace was thirsting for his blood; of tho Joy that possessed Peter when he was released from prison: ot the happiness of Stephen as he stood before the men about to consign him to death, and of the spiritual Joy which has been In tho hearts of countless other Chris tians since the birth ot the Babe In Bethlehem.

READING NOW REACHES HERE BIO RAILROAD DEAL HAS BEEN CONSUMMATED. Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company Absorbs the Central Rail road of New Jersey J. Pierpont Morgan Again at the Head of a Big Consolidation Move It Will Give Scranton a Direct Lino of Commu nication with Philadephla, Some thing It Never Had Before. Tho Central Railroad of New Jet-Bey. with a terminal In this city, has passed into the control of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad company, which thus secures valuable terminals at Jer sey City and New York. Tho big deal was engineered solely by J. Pierpont Aiorgnn, who secured a controlling Interest In tho Jersey Cen tral company and sold it to tho Read ing company. He refused on Satur day to malta any statement whatever regarding the price paid for tho con trol. President Maxwell, ot tho Cen tral company, also refused to give any Information regarding the price paid, but vouchsafed tho Information that the minority stockholders would re ceive the same price for their stock as the majority holders. Common rumor has had It for some yenrs back that tho Baltimore and Ohio company would eventually secure control of tho Jersey Central, so that the announcement of tho big deal last Saturday caused great surprise In tho financial world. According to yesterday's New York Tribune tho report which Is given the greatest credenro regarding tho basis on which the Reading is to take over tho Central Is that the arrangement, will take the form of a long lease, with a guarantee of at least 6 per cent, on tho Central's stock. Last year the Central paid a C per cent, dividend on Its outstanding capital stock of $27,113, 800. In 1S0S and 1S99 the dividend was 4 per cent, and in 1S97, 5 per csnt.; in 1S9C. S per cent.: In ISM. CS per cent.; In 1894, 1S93 and 1892, 7 per cent.; In 1S91. C per cent., nnd In 1890, G4 per cent. CENTRAL'S CONDITION. According to the latest reports the authorized stock Issue of the Jersey Central company Is $30,000,000, of which there Is outstanding $27,113,800. Tho authorized issue of bonds Is $50,000,000 and there Is outstanding $13,924,000. There are also equipment mortgage 4 per cent, bonds, amounting to $1,536,000. These are payable In 10 per cent. In stallments yearly, on June 1. Tho bonds aro secured by a consolidated mortgage taken out In 1874, of $1,167, 000, bearing 7 per cent. Interest. There are also 6 per cent, debentures convertible Into stock, amounting to $372,000, ond n per cent, real estate bonds and mortgage of $119,100. Tho amount of guaranteed bonds is $14,140, G92, also $6,116,000 of additional out standing consolidated mortgage bonds of the Lehigh and Wllkes-Barre road. These bonds are owned by tho Jersey Central. The Jersey central railroad runs from Jersey City westerly to Wllkes Barre and Scranton and southerly to various seaside resorts along the New Jersey coast. Its main lino Is 72.30 miles long, and Its branches and leased lines 11S.37. It controls the following other railroads with the appended mileage: Freehold and Atlantic High lands, 24.17: New Jersey Southern, 176.03; Lehigh and Susquehanna, 210.66; New York and Long Branch, 3S.04; Le high and Lackawanna, 37.43; total length of lines operated, 677.72 miles. The rolling stock consists of 407 loco motives, S30 passenger coaches, 16,400 freight cars, threu steamboats, seven ferry boats, nine tugs, eighteen car floats and fourteen sea-going coal barges. ITS COAL HOLDINGS. The Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal company, controlled by the Jersey Central, owns 2S.909 acres of anthracite coal lands and has 2,847 acres under leases. It operates thirteen collieries and leases some 4,000 acres of coal lands to various Individual operators. The Philadelphia and Reading com pany operates altogether no less than 2,791.99 miles of railway lines. It oper ates in connection with the Philadel phia and Reading Coal and Iron com pany, which It controls, a vast system of roads touching every part of the Schuylkill region. It touches Hazle ton and Wllllamsport, on the north, Harrlsburg, Shlppensburg and Gettys. burg on the south. It also operates east in New Jersey to Atlantic City and to tidewater at New York harbor. The total capital and assets amount to tho enormous figure of $207,890,000. On two previous occasions has the Reading company leased ths Central's system. In 18S3 the company became Insolvent and a receiver was appoint ed. Tho receivership was ended final ly by the Reading company leasing the system. Three years later this lease was declared by the court to be null and void, on the ground that the rights of certain minority stockholders wero not respected. In 1892 a second lease was secured by tho Reading company. It was for nine hundred and ninety-nine years, but It lasted for just a btiof sis months when It was declared Illegal In the courts. MAXWELL TO BE PRESIDENT. Rumors of nil kinds regarding the management of tho new combination are flying about. Tho most persistent one Is that John Rogers Maxwell, pres ident of the Jersey-Central company, will succeed to tho presidency 'of the Reading-Central and that Joseph S. Harris, president ot the Iteading, will resign. Another rumor has It vice versa, that Mr. Maxwell will resign and that Mr. Harris will assume control. Tho final details of tho sale arc to be completed this afternoon at u meeting ot tho board of directors of the Reading com pany. The acquisition of the Jersey Central by the Philadelphia and Reading means much for this city. It menus direct railroad communication with Philadelphia, something which this city has never had. 'It also means that this city will ha placed in direct com munication with tlio great Schuylkill coal regions with Its vast possibilities for the future. Rates to Boston, Mass, On and after January C, 1901, the fol lowing rates will bo in effect to Bos ton, Mass., via the Delaware and Hud son railroad (the most direct route)', for first-class limited tickets; From Carbondale, Scranton, Plttston, Wllkes Barre and Intermediate stations, $8.33; Honesdale, $8.95. wwwwwuwwwwwwywwuwwvMWwwvwwwwwVbw)i Eye Preserves Did you ever stop to think how large n proportion of tho people you meet wear glasses?
