RAILROAD TO TIDE WATER
THAT WAS NOT CONSTRUCTED
It Caused the Greatest Revolution the Hard Coal Business
Has Ever Known Company Chartered to Build It
About to Pass Out of Existence.
The New York, Wyoming und West
ern Railroad company is about to be
given Its death blow. Application was
made to court, here, yesterday, by Its
Incorporators for permission to dissolve
the company and surrender Its charter,
March 31 was llxed as the time for
hearing the application,
This Is tho road originally planned by
the Independent operators to secure
better rates to tidewater. The big car
rying companies, which were also min
ing companies were not giving tho In
dividual operators what they thought
was u fair deal In tho matter of rates,
and, when tho carriers turned it deaf
ear to repented entreaties for the re
dress of their grievance, tho Indepen
dents got together, subscribed a lot of
money und proceeded to the construc
tion of u road of their own.
It was to extend fiom Plttston to
Helvldere, N. J., and thence across New
Jersey to the seaboard. The Pennsyl
vania end of tho line was to bo tho
New York, Wyoming und Western. 11,
L, Fuller, E. H. Sturges, William Cou
ncil, T, !:. Jones, Simpson & Wutkius,
Jerinyn & Co., and most of. the. other
big Independent coal men were among
the stockholders,
Whether or not their road was at
any time a close upprouch to reality,
Is neither here nor there. Seven thous
and tons of rails were bought und scat
tered along the Pocono and several
corps of engineers sent out for several
months figuring on routes und, Inci
dentally, making the farmers of Monroe
and Northampton counties happy In
the contemplation of piofltable real es
tute deals. While the rails were gath
ering rust und the engineers wearing
out thoe leather, the Independents were
POLICE HAVE
E. H. MARTIN
CHARGED WITH SWINDLING
MANY PERSONS.
For Several Weeks Ho Has Been En
gaged In Soiling Cheap Paper
Novels Hereabouts, Promising Gor
geous Premiums in Exchango for
Coupons, Ono of Which Was Given
with Each Book List of H1b Vic
tims Is Said to Bo Very Large,
Made Considerable Money.
E. II. Martin, a young man with a
most engaging personality, who, It Is
charged has been swindling several
hundred persons In this city for tho
last few weeks and whoso two asso
ciates had been doing likewise for two
months prior to his arrival here, run
ntoul of tho police Inst night and will
have to answer the charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses when
uiralgncd before Magistrate Howe this
morning.
The game which Martin has been
working is precisely similar to the
game which his two predecessors and
associates worked, so that a descrip
tion of their methods will answer nho
for a description of theirs. It might
be mentioned that Mnrtln and the other
two chaps, whose names arc Splllher
get and 55Ink and whose present where
ubouts nrc unknown, constitute what
Is known as the Morris Publishing
house, ti business Institution which tho
police say never had nn existence ex
cept In the minds of the nforcsald
three.
Martin's activities have been confined
principally to the South Side and West
Scranton. lie would make his appear
ance nt the door of a rosldence and
show the lady of the house a copy of
a cheap paper novel, which he said ho
was selling at the extremely low price
of ten cents. Ho explained In the most
plausible wny that with each novel a
coupon was given. When seventy
books had been purchased and $7 paid
over, the seventy coupons could be ex
changed by tho purchaser for any one
of a H,erles of beautiful premiums, of
fered merely to "Get the company's
standard novels before the public."
THE PREMIUMS.
At this point he would flash a cata
logue containing pictures of these pre
miums. Extension tables, silverware,
parlor sofas and, In fact, almost every
thing but upright pianos and houses
and lots were represented ns being
given for seventy of the precious cou
pons. It would seem at llrst blush as
if there would be very, very few people
who would nibble at this bait, but Mr.
Martin's account books show that be
tween 300 und -100 did. The majority
of these agreed to take two and three
books a week, the stipulation being
that they must be paid for In cash.
The police began to get wind of the
scheme recently front several persons
from other parts of the city who had
run into either Mr. Splllberger or Mr.
Zlnk a couple, of months back, and
who after paying out several dollars
were looking vainly for both of these
e-entlemen, who had suddenly disap
peared. One of these persons was ap
proached by Mr. Martin and asked
hivn about the missing Mr. Zlnk.
"Yes, he's gone," said Martin. "I al-
wnys said that fellow was crooked and
advised the company against keeping
him, but they insisted nnd now he's lit
out svlth the money. Some men are so
dishonest" and with that ho asked the
above-mentioned victim if he wouldn't
like to take a line of books from him.
The gentleman said he didn't care to,
and went and told his story to tho
police.
A warrant for his arrest was sworn
out before Mnglstrate Howe nnd ho
was taken Into custody last night at
217 Franklin avenue, where ho has
been boarding with his wife. He was
apparently in bed when Superintendent
Day nnd Detective Delter arrived, for
he looked out of the window In a neg
ligee costume, while the door was
opened by his wife. When she saw
who the visitors were, she dashed up
stairs nnd the two olllcers heard her
whisper, "They're coming, Ed."
TAKEN IN CHARGE.
Ed was taken In charge and brought
to the central police station, where a
little cross questioning failed to elicit
any Information from him. The police
secured the key to the ofllee of tho
Morris Publishing house, on the sec
ond door of the building at 321 Lacka-
calculating on nn alternative route. The
Pennsylvania Coal company, with Its
Erie und Wyoming road from Plttston
to Ilnwley, wns Induced to join with
tho independents, the bed of tho old
Delaware and 'Hudson canal wns pur
chased und one tine morning the cur
riers awoke to the fact that thoy wero
up against what gave every assurance
of being something more fungible in
tho shape of a competing railroad than
the New York, Wyoming und Western,
The canlers fought desperately to
defeat tho new road In the coutts but
lost nt every turn, almost, and ilnnlly
sued for pence, "Uuy us out," said the
Independents, "Agreed," said the car
riers, "At our own terms," said the
Independents. "Wo'll be good," quoth
tho curriers. "At our own terms," re
pented the Independents, "Well, (til
right," dejectedly came from the car
riers, The Erie was loaned money enough
by the Morgan people to buy tho Penn
sylvania Coal company's property, and
various of the other curriers aided by
Morgan money, bought out various of
the other Independents. The conse
quence Is that there Ib now only u few
collieries in all the upper coal region
operated by an Individual. The day of
the Independent operator In these parts
Is gone und John Pierpont Morgan, us
the big pile of money he repiesents Is
so generally personified, controls the
hard coal world.
The independents gathered up the
rails they had planted in the wilds
of tho Pocono, sold them ut a profit; of
$70,000, hud a banquet and toasted each
other und the New York, Wyoming und
Western to the uceompunlment of sun
dry winks,
Wanna avenue. Hero they found a vast
quantity of the paper novels, which
they conllscnted, und cards containing
the names of cneh of Morris' vIctlmM.
Tho novels tire about nix by seven
Inches In size find nrc printed In the1
theupest manner possible. Each con
tains about fifty pages. There are
only two titles, but there are upwards
or forty to fifty volumes to each booki
Each volume contulns two chapters,
thri Idea being to Interest tho reader,
so its to make the purchase of the ser
ies of volumes, one by one, come a
little easier. Tho titles of tho two
books tire us follows:
"Llona, the Orplmn of Rotheubang.
The Deplorable Victim of a Heautlful
Sinner."
"A Heartless Yllluliir or the Exper
iences of nn Abandoned Young "Wife
and Mother."
At the point where ono of the vol
umes leaves off with a "to he con
tinued" It reads as follows:
" 'Stand back,' said the beautiful
Countess of Elphenburg, her black eyes
(lashing nnd her Ivory bosom heaving
with rage. 'Stand back nnd let mo
pass or I will pierce your cruel heart
with this.' und she hold aloft ". 1:1 r
Jewelled bond a glittering dagger of
steel on which the pale moonlight
danced."
Tho police believe that Martin was
preparing to leave town. They esti
mate his weekly receipts nt between
$10 und $30.
WATER IS SLOWLY,
BUT SURELY RECEDING
It Wns Four or Five Feet Lower Last
Night Than It Wns Fri
day Night.
Tho Lackawanna river Is slowly but
surely receding and last night was
between four and five feet lower than
it was at the height of tho flood lust
Friday night. It is believed that it
will continue to recede todny and that
all danger of another rise is practically
over.
Tho low lying lands which skirt the
river banks from the northerly city
line to the southerly one are being slow
ly drained of water and great quantities
of drift wood and refuse of all kinds
nnd descriptions lie piled in great con
fusion upon them. The people who
were driven out of their homes by the
Hood are going back to them again and
are beginning to set their devastated
homes to right ngln.
The railroads are still feeling the
effects of the flood, however, and will
continue to for several days. No trains
whatever were run on the Jersey Cen
tral or Ontario and Western roads yes
terday. The Jersey Central has had
serious washouts from one end of its
line to the other and it may be a week
before trains can be run. Hundreds
of men are working between this city
nnd Wllkes-Barre yesterday, but tho
task is a mighty one. Tlie telegraph
line are down in many places and this
adds to the inconvenience.
The washout on the Ontai io and "West
ern at Mayfleld and several others far
ther up along the line prevented the
opening of this road yesterday and
will probably prevent Us being opened
today despite tho fact that large gangs
of men are at work day and night.
All the regular trains on the Lacka
wanna main line were running yester
day but none were on schedule time be
cause of the necessity of "running
slow" at certain points where the
washouts have not been completely
filled in. Trains on the "Bloom"
division were run yesterday as far us
Kingston but no farther because of the
damage wrought by the rising of the
Susquehasna.
The Delaware and Hudson was run-,
ing trains on schedule yesterday from
Carliondalc to Wllkes-Barre but the
serious washouts at Miner's Mills has
not yet been completely repaired.
The department of public works had
over a hundred and tlfty men at work
yesterday repairing the damage
wrought by the Hood. The larger part
of these were engaged on the streets
In South Scranton which had been
torn up by the water. A number wero
at work In Green Ridge piling stones
around the abutments of the Green
Ridge street bridge which has been
seriously weakened by the onrush of
the waters during the last few days.
The bridge has been ordered closed
until It can be repaired.
The Scranton postofllce was almost
swamped yesterdny by the muss of
mall that came sweeping In from all
directions as the railroads opened up
and began to get trains through. In
some directions It is still very dlincult
to send mail. Tho roads skirting the
Susquehanna river ni'e In such shape
thnt trains cannot be sent over them
and the Lehigh Valley road Is practical
ly unable to got trains through. Sun
day and yesterday mall Intended for
Pittsburg and the west was sent by
wny of New York.
City Engineer Joseph Phillips learned
lnle yesterday afternoon that tho Dela
ware and Hudson bridge over tho
Roaring Brook, near South AVashlng
ton avenue and tho city bridge, cross
lug nenr the same point, wero In n
dangerous condition,
He hastened to the scene and found
that both tho abutments under the
city bridge had been badly undermined.
Ho ordered the bridge closed at once,
pending repairs. He found that one of
the abutments under tho railroad
lnldge had also been undermined and
ho ordered tho lnllrond company to
stop running cars on the north-bound
track, which Is over tho weak part of
the structure, Tho order wns com
piled with and all trains weiu sent
over tho bridge on tho smith-bound
track.
STATUS OF HAWAII.
Decision of the Board of Classification
Regarding Tariff Laws.
Dy Exclutire Wire from The Associated Prest.
Now York, March 3. The board of
classllleatlon of tho lnlted States gen
eral appraisers today announced a de
cision regarding tho status of Hawaii
under tho tariff laws, A manufactur
ing company Imported a hundred tons
of old scrap Iron from Hawaii, and the
collector at San Francisco assessed the
regular duty on It, Tho company (lied
u protest, claiming that Hawaii was a
pmt of the United States, and that
consequently no duties could bo levied
on goods Imported from there since the
pussuge of tho "act to pi aside a gov
ernment for tho territory of Hawaii."
Tho hoard of classification holds that
under the doctrine laid down by the
Supreme court of the 1'nlted States, In
tho "Jnsulur tariff cases," the protest
should be dismissed for want of Juris
diction. Central Railroad of New Jersey
Will resume running trulus tomorrow.
Tho Quaker City express will leave ut
