funeral or william: fbink.
Services Conducted at the Home of
HI 3 Daughter.
The funeral of tho lato William
Frlnlr, former freight agent of tho
Lackawanna ratlrond, was conducted
yesterday afternoon at tho homo of his
daughter, Mis. E. II. Shurtloff, 1620
Washington avenue, and was largely
attended by many life-long friends of
the defeased.
Tho services were In charge of Hew
John P. Moffnt.pastor of tiro Washburn
Street Presbyterian church, of which
tho deceased had been an active mem
ber for over forty years, serving tho
church continuously as trustee and eld
er for twenty-live years. Rev. Mr. Moffat
spoke of tho Christian llfo led by the
departed brother and how he was be
loved by all members of tho ohurch
and congregation. Other ministers
who spoko were llev. Dr. Lansing;, Hew
Foster and Dr. Steans, of Danville, a
former pastor of tho Washburn Street
church.
The pall-bearers were Garrett Smith,
S. B. Mott, L. Stovons, K. J. I.uce, W.
II. Freeman and A. 'B. Williams. In
terment was made In Uunmore ceme
tery. PROCLAMATIONS OF
GOVERNOR SERVED
City Officials Formally Notified That
We Are Now in Second Class.
Common Palled to Meet.
Three copies of the governor's proc
lamation declaring, Scranton a city of
tho second class, were brought to this
city yesterday by Edward G. Roberts,
a special messenger of the execitt'vo
department. These copies were for tho
mayor and tho presidents of both
branches of councils, respectively.
They uro big, gorgeous looking docu
ments, about two feet square, contain
ing In one corner tho gold seal of the
commonwealth and In tho other tho
signatures of Governor Stono and of
Seeietary of tho Commonwealth Grlest.
Tho mayor's copy was served on him
In the afternoon, and ho Immediately
Placed It in tho hands of Clerk nat
ion, who had II recorded In the oilleo
of Recorder of Deeds Ilonn.
The second ropy was served on
President Wagner, of the select coun
cil, riming the day, and was presented
by him to tho scion council Immedi
ately after the r -mening of that body
last night. It vwu read by Clerk La
velle, and Councilman Chittenden then
offered a resolution directing that it
bo spread on the minutes, nnd this was
adopted.
As was generally expected, the com
mon council did not meet, because each
and every one of the eleven Demo
cratic membcts of that branch were
absent when Clerk I.ynott called the
toll. Tho ten Republican members wcro
all on huntl, but as they did not consti
tute a iiuoium they aljouined until to
night. The governor'b proclamation was not
therefore entered upon the minutes of
the common council, nor was any ac
tion taken regarding the apportioning
of the additional common councilmen
provided for under the second-class
city charter. Tho purpose of the Demo
crats In this question Is plain. They
realize that when the extra council
men ure elected they (the Democrats)
will bo In the minority, instead of the
majority as at present, and titer aro
going to do everything In their power
to stave off tho election of these addi
tional members.
It Is now believed that It Is the date
of the governor' certificate, lather
than the date of tl final carrying out
of tho provisions c the law covering
tho spreading of k upon the minutes,
f t Is to count hi establishing the
,festlon as to whether or not the ad-
Jtlontil councilmen can bo elected In
February.
The law says that tlu-y must he
elected nt the next municipal election
held within not less than one month of
the dale of the certificate, and as this
Is dated .Tummiv JR, nnd ns the Febru
ary election Is to be hold on Febiuaiv
10, Mayor Molr thinks that there Is
plenty of time yet tn have thtin
elected.
If the Dfmoin.tllc mcmbeis tall to
show up at tonight's meeting, and It
is to be ptesumed that tiny will, the
plan is to have the upiiniilomucni
committee already appointed go light
ahead and apportion the nilinhcr of
additional councilnieu and endeavor to
have them elected ,it tile Fobui.iiy
uhii tlon.
Aflu' thp goveinoi's proi-lauiuilon
had been enured on the minutes last
night. Chairman Wagner unnoiiiioe 1
that he would appoint Messrs. Vaushan
and t'hiltendcii as meuibeis ol this
cnmtiiltuv.
He stated to u Tribune man that ho
didn't believe that, while the city was
In the third class, ho could appoint
such 11 committee, nnd that thtiefore
he had waited to do so until she was
In the second class.
Tho common council committee, which
consists of Messrs. Paine, McDonald
nnd Ilnggetty, was appointed while the
city was In tho third class, and the
question as to Its right to aot will un
doubtedly bo raised, If It attempts to
co-opernto with the select council
committee in making tho apportion
ment. Tho original plan, as mentioned In
yesterday's Tribune, was to have this
coiutnlttco re-appointed Inst night, but
as council didn't meet, this could not
bo done.
BIOHES REVEALED IN A DREAM

NEW TROLLEY
ROAD ACTIVE
ASKS PERMISSION OF COUNCILS
TO LAY TBACKS.
Incorporators Say Theirs Is Not n
Paper Bond Thoy Want Permis
sion to Build and Will at Once Co
to Work Will Have Cars Running
in a Year They Say Full Text of
tho Franchlso Ordinance intro
duced Last Night in Select and
Referred to Committee.
The Central Rapid Transit company
of this city, tho Incorporation of which
was announced exclusively In yester
day's Tribune, last night applied to
councils for permission to lay Its tracks
on certain streets of tho city. The
ordinance was Introduced In select
council by D. W. Vnughnn nnd referred
without comment to tho railway cotn
mlteo for consideration:
Tho opening of Wyoming nvcnuo
and the possibilities In tho matter of
street railways that were opened up
thereby Is responsible for tho birth of
tho new company.
As Its franchise ordinance shows,
Wyoming avenuo Is to be tho trunk of
tho system. It Is figured that by
making use of this thoroughfare a
quicker, better nnd safer route can be
afforded to Green Ridge, Providence
and Dunmore than by any other routs
now existing or likely to exist, and
the new company declares that If It Is
given the franchlso It seeks, It will,
within a year, provide a street car ser
vice to those points thnt will be a boon
to tho public at lurge, a great benefit
to the property In the territory which
It proposes to serve and a good pay
ing Investment to tho company.
CENTRAL CITY TERMINAL.
The coinpnny will have Its central
city terminal In the spur of Wyoming
avenue, extending between Lackawan
na avenue and Railroad alley. This
will b used simply for a momentary
stopping place for cars to shoot In,
change their trolleys and fenders and
shoot out again. Tho cars will then
proceed out Wyoming avenue, using
tho tracks of tho Scranton Railway
company for a distance of 1,800 feet,
which Is a privilege under tho law it
can nvall Ithelf of to tho extent of '.',
f.OO feet. Leaving the old company's
tracks nt the corner of Wyoming ave
nue and Mulberry Btrect, the new com
pany's route will extend out Wyoming
to Green Rldgo along tho route out
lined in Its franchise.
Its Dunmore line will branch off at
the rear of the jail and proceed to the
"corners" by nn easy grnda through
the stove wotks territory. The exact
route will be disclosed when the ordi
nance for the franchise In Dunmore
borough Is presented to the Dunmoro
council, the flist Thursday of next
month.
The Providence route -will reach tho
corners bycuttlng down through Gieen
Ilidgo and across the Delaware aim
Hudson tracks by an overhead viaduct
at Deacon stieet and thence up Mur
ket street.
TO CITY LINE.
The road will be at once extended out
West Market street to thf city lino
and eventually to Clark's Summit,
Gravel pond, Lake WInola nnd Glen
buin, where so many Scrnntonlnns are
locating their summer homes. The
presence among the Incorporators ot
Hon. W. W. Watson, president of tho
Providence and Abtngton Turnpike and
Plank Road company, Is significant In
this connection.
Eventually the company proposes to
reach West Scranton by a private via
duct over the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western tracks and other means
which will give an easy and uninter
rupted grade. Its englneeis, also, have
a scheme for reaching tho South Side
which will guarantee safe, sure and
speedy ttafllc.
Tho West Scranton, South Scianton
and other lines will be built Jut-t ns
s-oon as the company gets Its North
Scranton and Dunmoro routes under
wny.
The extension through Center street
and along Mlfllln avenue Is to serve as
a "feeder" to the main line nnd fur
nish the loop or belt that the charter
calls for.
Its maps show that at no point on
any of tho lines Is thote a grade ex
ceeding eight per cent., and for tho
mot part the grade Is practically level.
There is not a single grade ciosslng,
and only nt two points. Providence
corneis and Washington nvenue, near
the Jail, do the tracks of the now com
pany cinss those of tho old.
Elect! Uity Is to be the motive power
and everything about the new road Is
to lie of the most modem pattern. Tht
woik of construction will be coin
nuiii'ed Just ns hoon as the city gives
tho required permission.

Dr. Wnlnwright Is a giaduate of
tho medical department of Columbia
university, nnd Is it young man, who
has had vnluablo experience in his
chosen profession.
Ho was for several years a lesldent
surgeon of Rellevue hospital and for
two years house surgeon of St. Luke's
hospital, New York. The management
of Moses Taylor hospital regard him
as an exceptionally proficient man and
congratulates Itself upon having se
cured his services.
Dr. F. W. Murray, the eminent New
York physician, who Is an attending
surgeon nt St. Luke's, recommended
Dr. Wainwright as a man of excep
tional qualities and said he knew of no
one better nble to till the position.
Dr. Francis II. Maikoe, In a letter to
President Moses Taylor, replying to a
lequesl for nn opinion as to Dr. AValn
wilght's fitness for the position of snr-ceon-ln-chlef,
said: "He Is so thor
oughly equipped In every way that, In
my judgment, he would be n much
safer man for such un Important posi
tion than one with perhaps a llttlo
larger experience but fewer attain
ments. Dr. Walnwilght has Impressed
us all as a very unusual man."
In a similar communication, Dr. 13.
Farqnhar Curtis, piofessor of the prin

Retlevue Ilosplttil Medical college and
