REASON FOR
THE MERGER
COULD NOT AFFOHD TO
THE BIO BONUS.
PAY
Becictary-Trensurer John H. Brooks
of the Central Rapid Transit Com
pany Makes a Statement Strikers
Responsible for the Reagan Reso
lution Repealing the Valley Pas
senger Franchises New Com
panies Will Make Their Attack on
the Charters at Harrisburg.
i Concerning the merging f Hie Inter
ests of the Central Hnplil Transit oin
pany with thu new Hlreet rullwiiy
companies, of which Congressman Cou
ncil Is prcMlclent, John It. Brooks, secretary-treasurer
or tin- Hist named
company yesterday said:
"Wo are very glad and anxious that
the public should know our reasons for
associating ourselves and Joining forces
with the proposed North. South and
West Knrl lltiltwiiy companies, who
wish to secure a franehl.se for the use
of certain oily streets. You no iloiilil
can recall our having made tin honest
effort and several attempts covering
it period of almost one year, to secure
from our councils the light to nse from
four to live miles of our city streets.
We failed lo secure such a franchise.
It was then suggested that a bonus he
offered the city and, without detailed
consideration, this was done.
After careful deliberation. hocer,
ml much careful figuring, we felt the
proposition would not warrant the pay
ment of said bonus. The cost of con
struction and equipping the road, ow
ing to advance hi materials, would
have been far greater than anticipated.
Competition from an established par
allel line, paying nothing to the oily,
as against our company with Us heavy
charges, was also considered. Then,
too, we had no connecting or transfer
lines, and judging from our previous
experience, It would have been almost
impossible to have secured further ex
tension of our line.
DOPBTS AHOIT I.KGAI.ITV.
Itlghl here. J desire to say thai.
I hough councils had favorably consid
ered our ordinance, in the opinion of
many competent lawyers of our city
there was grave doubt as to the legal
ity of our position.
"Therefore, merging our interests
with the proposed new company's will,
we foil, undoubtedly prove more ad
vantageous to our city and Its people,
mid in the event of councils granting
this franchise we may feel sure that a
thoroughly modern equipped road will
lie built and operated, employing hun
dreds of men, and paying the city a
vast amount in taxes, and establish
within our city another large, sub
stantial and permanent enterprise."
'everybody In city hall seems a little
puss-sled about the resolution passed by
select council on Thursday night, de
claring the franchise of the Vallev
Passenger Hallway company forfeited
to the city because of the failure of
the company to construct its lines with
in the period of two years in which
it agreed to construct them.
Fred Surine, a member of the strik
ing street railway employe's executive
board, went Into City Solicitor Wat
son's otllce late Thursday afternoon
and handed him the typewritten reso
lution asking him if it was ill own tin
properly. The city solicitor looked it
over and told him that it was not. He
explained Hint it might be possible to
i evoke the right of the Valley Passen
ger Hallway company to use certain
streets on which it failed to lay tracks
within a period of two years after the
granting ol its franchise, but that it
would not be possible on such grounds
to revoke its right lo use those streets
on which the tracks were laid within
the required two years.
DIDN'T TAKK ADVICI'".
Mr. Siirine listened to the city solici
tor but evidently didn't think much of
his advice for the resolution was Intro
duced in select council and a large del
egation of strikers were present In the
city hall, several of whom were lobby
ing: for its passage.
It is generally understood that this
resolution has no connection whatever
with the attempt which it is said will
bo made by the new street railway
interests to secure an annulhnent of the
charter of the Volley Passenger ltail
way company.
The not of 1ST I, governing the incor
poration of street railway companies,
provides that such companies shall
build and operate a continuous Hue,
It is claimed that the charter of the
Valley Passenger Hallway company,
which was merged Into the Scranton
Hallway company, can bo successfully
attacked on the ground that none of
Its lines aie continuous.
As an Instance of this the line on
North Washington avontlo Is pointed
out. This line was constructed under
the franchise of the Valley Passenger
Hallway company but It is not contin
uous In that It connects with the
tracks on Lackawanna avenue, which
were laid under a franchise granted
to the People's Street Hallway com
pany. Cars from Lackawanna avenue
me run into the tracks on Washington
avenue, forming what appears to be,
but which Is in reality not, a contin
uous line.
Another Instance pointed out in the
line of track on North .Main avenue
f i oiu Providence road to Jackson
street. This was constructed under the
Valley Passenger -franchise. It is said.
but It is not n continuous lino because
It connects m each end with lines
operated under a charter and franchise
granted lo the People's Street Hallway
company,

MR. WEDEMAN
HADNTT TIME
OR HE WOULD HAVE HANDED
ONE TO MR. SHURTLEFF.

I'eel, "hut I believe you have tile time
light here and now."
Then the spectators closed in upon
them, and the sinaslilii",' or chons did
not take place.
Zeal for their clients is what Induced
tlio outbreak between the attorneys.
Mr. Shurtleff was attorney for M. T.
Keller, who has sued Peter liaaii lo
collect a hill or JiKl.nii. Mr. Ilaau dis
putes tlio bill, saying he has receiptfi
for various Items of It, with the excep
tion of J is. He therefore refused to pay
the other $:!0, and the matter was being
threshed out yesterday before a board
of arbitrators, consisting or Thomas
Peek, J.IClllot Ross and Lay ton Schoeh.
Mr. Wedemnit is the attorney for .Mr.
Ilium, and during the course of the ex
amination of witnesses there was a
succession of tilts between him and
Mr. Slnirllerr, which dually culminated
In tlio throat or .Mr. Wetlemnn to do
violence to his opponent.
When things quieted down, after the
pugnacious threat and tlio eiiually
pugnacious rejoinder, tlio hearing was
resinned. The evidence closed yester
day, and this morning the arbitrators
will meet to make up their award.

After four sittings, and a visit to the
Cliff works the coroner's jury in the
ease ut ,ianies cardeu Inst night ren
dered a verdict In tlie effect that he

tion Is that the iron lie was carrying
came In contact with an unprotected

his death.

BIG FIRE IN
WILKES-BARRE
DAMAGE AMOUNTING TO NEAR
LY ano.ooo was done.
Blaze Started in Lnngfleld Brothers'
Dry Goods Store. Which Was Com
pletely Destroyed Building Was
Owned hy Samuel Kramer, of This
City Wcitssenkom Brothers' $80,
000 Stock of Clothing Completely
Destroyed, as Well as a Large Part
of Simon Long's Sons' Stock.
A dlsasiioiis lire, which mixed dam
age lo the atnouiil of nearly .t2.1rt.unn.
broke out last night at ;.! o'clock In
the dlobe store on South .Main street.
Wllkes-HaiTo, and put three large
llrms temporarily out of business bo
fore It was extinguished,
Tlio blaze originated In one of the
show windows of the (Hobo si ore. a
large dry goods store establishment,
owned by Langlleld brothers, who
occupied n ihree story building owned
by Samuel Kramer, or this city. The
lire was caused by a live electric wire
in (lie window, which Ignited a number
of liaiidk-oi-chlei's. In mi Instant the
entire window was ablaze and though
an alarm of lire was sounded imme
diately. ilu front or tlie store was a
mass of tlnnies before the fire com
panies arrived on the scene.
The store was trimmed up for the
holidays and largo quantities of In
flammable goods were displayed over
tlie counters. These burned up fierce
ly and assisted in spreading thu flames
to all parts of I he store, the Interior
of which was soon a raging, roaring
mass of dory tongues of llainc.
Tlie entire (he department was called
out when It was seen that the Globe
store iviti doomed, but despite the best
work of tlio firemen, tlio (Ire soon
broke through into the buildings ad
joining on 'tlio south, which are oc
cupied by Woltzenkom brothers, the
clothiers. Tlie building next the Globe
store is owned by the Weltzenkoni
brothers while the other building which
they occupy is owned by Jacob Volk.
These two buildings were nearly de
stroyed and the stock- was either
burned up or destroyed by water. The
Globe store, building and stock, -was
completely destroyed, while the splen
did store adjoining on tlie north and
occupied by Simon Long'.s sons was
Hooded with water and a largo part of
the stock ruined. The lire was llnallv
placed under control about S.1,1 o'clock.

VIVASKI ASKS HIS RELEASE.
Says He Is Unjustly Detained in the
County Jail.
John Vlvoski -was committed to the
county jail Wednesday by Justice of
the Peace II. J. Delevan on complaint
of James Thompson in default of bail
on chnrges of larceny by bailee and
malicious mischief.
Yesterday through Attorney It, L,
Levy he made application for ids re
lease on ii writ of halieas corpus. Ho
alleges that ho owes Thompson SI for
rent which was the Inspiring cause or
tlie charges against him. There Is no
foundiMloii whatever to the churtre of
larceny by bailee and the malicious
mischief charge, he says, grows out of
the fact that while Vlnoski was mov
ing out of Thompson's house a window
was broken,
There will be a hearing In the case

This week has been
Interest in howling elri
The bowling of the various clubs in
both leagues is getting better with each
succeeding game. This is especially
true as regards the Northeastern
Pennsylvania League. Twelve ot Him
eighteen games rolled In that league
this week were above eight hundred
pins and the other six were near the
eight hundred murk. The Hackus team
came to the front with a rush by win
ning all three games from Green
Itldge last Monday, while the Elks
and West Knd wheelmen improved
their standing by winning two out of
three from the Scranton Bicycle club
and Ulack Diamonds, respectively.
The changes made by Captain lleitil
on the Mlks team have undoubtedly
made the Elks one of the most formid
able In the league. This fact was
thoroughly demonstrated last Monday
evening, when they took two of the
three games rolled with the Scranton
Bicycle club's last, season champion
team. Tlie new members on the Elks
team are Bartl and Mndonspaehar,
both old reliable bowlers.
The Black Diamonds hnvo secured
a new mail In the person of Frank
CJonld to till permanently the place on
the ton in which has been vacant sine
the organization of the team this sea
son, having been filled by substitutes.
Mr. Gould Is a good consistent bowler
and will no doubt strengthen the
Diamonds.
Henry Dinilcr, of the Scranton Hi
eyele club lea in seems to hove gotten
Into form. Dlmler was out of the
game all last season which fact ac
counts for his low scores previous to
last Monday night, when he came to
the front with the excellent nvorace
of IPO t-;: pins, a total of 571 pins for
the three sanies.
By far the most consistent team
bow-ling of the season was done by the
Backus team Monday evening, the
team average for the three games Iip
Ing 174 :i-5, with Individual high aver
age iO:!, and low average LIS. A contin
uation of this excellent work will sure
ly land the trophy.
The (ireen' Itldge wheelmen boivled
good ten plus against Backus team
Monday evening, but nevertheless lost
all three games. Two of their game
were over eight hundred but the Back
us boys were out to win and wouldn't
bo stopped,
lu all piobablllty, the Hlecliie City
wheelmen will be able to place a fair
ly good team lu the field Immedlatelv
upon the completion of their alleys,
their being several good bowler
anions: the club's members.
The personnel of the ww (ireen Hidg
No, !l team at present Is W.cdeinau,
Knapp, Smith, Bliss and Dnlph. This
team contains good material and with
I a Utile team practice
should give a
good account of Itself.
The best bowling done so far In tip'
club league occurred on Iho . C, recti
Itldge No, ;' uud West I'nd No, !!,
Green nidge winning two out of three
with a total ol a 113 pins ugulust i'lOH
rolled by West Knd.
Charles HteiVen, of the lnn of riiuph
en & Son, the well known bowling- al
loy builders of Now York, Is In the city
nupcriuteudtiig the llnlshlng woii; on
the Klectrlo City wheelmen's alleys on
Juckbon stieet.
i'jie .Scranton Bicycle club league
team has dropped nut of the Bicycle
club's league. Its place has been tak
en by another team from the Green
Hldge wheelmen known as Green

The Clrecn Hldge wheelmen No.J team
