Th'c Imperials, tho reorganized Lled-pi-kranz
team from the Backus alloys,
with Pccklns and Hopkins of the
Northeastern league team rolling, took
three games with great rase from the

BIG DEED
RECORDED
Transfers Properly to the
New Rapid Transit
Company.
DIRECTORS ARE CHOSEN
They Show That Practically Unlim
ited Wealth. Is Behind the Lacka
wanna and Wyoming Valley
Transit Company Deed Recorded
Yesterday Conveys to the Company
from the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel Company, Ninety-eight Acres
of Land for $106,950 Work of
Clearing the Land Is Now in Pro
gress. All of the more than ninety-eight
acres of land north of Mattes street,
formetly occupied by the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel comnanv Is now tho
property of the Lacktiwanna and Wyo
ming Valley Itapid Transit company,
the big corporation which Is to operate
nil nlr-Hno electric road from Wllkes
Barre to Carbondale and local systems
In and about Scrnnton, 'WIlkes-Karre,
Plttston and Carbondale.,
Tho deed of transfer was tiled yes
terday with Recorder Bonn, by James
II. Torrey, of counsel for the Lacltn
wnnntt and Wyoming Valley company.
It is the largest deed for land ever filed
for record in Lackawanna county. Tho
details of the purchase were nrlnted
exclusively In The Tribune several
months ngo.
The area .of the property transferred
is ninety-eight and forty-three one
hundredths acres. It comprises all the
land extending from Mattes street to n
point above Nay Aug tunnel, lying be
tween the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western road on the one side and tho
cinder track on the other, and the large
plateau to the south of the cinder track
hkfrtlng the Krie and Wyoming
Valley road, commonly known ns the
"cinder dump."
The land lies on both sides of the
Itoarlng Brook, In a strip of varying
width and over a mile In length. It
is to contain the IL'.flOO horse-power mo
tor station, the central construction
and repair shops, freight depot and
yards, and a manufactory which it Is
understood will be conducted as a
br.inch of the Westlngltotise lOlectrlcal
Construction company, which is to
eciulp the new road.
Clearing the Land.
The work of clearing off the land is
already well under way. It Is being
done by the Hintner Sons, company,
(if Philadelphia. Aa the work of raz
ing the old buildings is being carried
on it corps of the new company's en
gineers is sinking test pits for the lo
cation of the foundations of the power
house and other terminal appurtenances
nnd giving lines for the big task of
enclosing the now wandering itoarlng
Brook In a sluceway which will con
tract its bed and carry It In si direct
course through tho whole length of the
tract.
This land was the site of the old ore
roaster, rolling mill, blast furnace, en
gine house, reservoirs and various
smaller parts of the steel mill. On the
portion of it which formed the site of
the blast furnace was located the first
Iron Industry of what Is now the cit
le clt;v

of Scranton the old Sloc-um forge.
passed from the original patent hold
to the Scranton & Gram: Scranton '&
Piatt and the Lackawanna Iron and
Coal company, the predecessors of the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel comnany,
and, now on Its abandonment by the
latter, comes into the possession of a
company which promises to till to ov
erflowing the void In Scranton's Indus
trial system resulting from the re
moval of the steel mills to Buffalo.
Fifty years ago tho land sold for a
few dollars an acre. The considera
tion in the deed recorded yesterday is
$lfjfl,r.0, and this does not wholly rep
resent the value of tho ptopeity. The
price originally agieeil upon was
something between W.'O.OOO anil $;!00,
KW. Tho coal, however, had been
leased to the Scranton Coal cumpany,
and whet.Xthe steel company found
itself unable to deliver title lo the
cool, It made an allowance on the oil
glnal figure, which brought the price
down to the amount mentioned in
the deed.
Cash Transaction.
The transler was a cash transaction.
The whole of the $luti,yio was paid with
r slnglo check. Tho property, tltero
1'oie, goes Into the hands of the rapid
transit people free of every incum
brance and without so much as a dol
lar bf mortgage.
Tho parties to the instrument are
thj Lackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany, grantors, and tho Security In
vestment company, grantee. The lat
ter In a subsidiary corporation iif the
Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley
Itapid Transit company, Walter
Scianton. president, nnd .1. P. Hlggln
son, secretary executed the deed for the
L. I. & S. company.
The last pagu of the voluminous
deed Is devoted almost exclusively to
tlw Msnaiures, attestations and re
venue stamps, Tim stamps amount to
?!7.'.'X
From time to lime, The Tribune has
stated that the coming nf this new
company to Scranton was the gt oat
en I boon the city e ery experienced,
and from llim.' to lime facts corrobor
ative of this contention have been set
forth hrthu local columns. Ono of the
main grounds for this contention was
that tho now company directed to
wards Scranton ns an Investment field
tho attention of vailou Investment
concerns, which heivtoforo scaicely
know that this, city was leully on the
map. Who these Investors ape has
never been told in more than a specu
lative way, because of the fact that
the company had not attained more
than a tentative organization and Its
promoters did not desire to give out

ONLY ONE SHOP AFFECTED.
Union Men Would Not Work with
Non-Union Women.
Only one shop was affected yesterday
by tho tailors' strike. The committee
engaged in interviewing the master
tailors has not as yet had definite an
swers from all of them, and it may be
a couple of days before the exact, ex
tent of the strike will be known.
There are ninety-five journeymen
tailors members of the union, and
about fceventy-five who are not. Union
and non-union men hnve been work
ing together hi some of the shops. The
proprietors in some of these Instances
signed the scale, but refused to force
their non-union hands to join the
union.
This Is the situation in the one shoD
In which the strike is effective. The
proprietor signed the scale and agreed
to take back all the union men who
went out. The women In his employ,
however, were not members of the
union and he refused to permit a com
mittee to go to the workshop to make
an endeavor to convert them. As a
consequence' his union men refused to
go back to work.
