STATION SITE
IS ADOPTED
"CANNON BALL" TO LAND AT
MATTES STREET.
Work on the Nov Building Has Al
ready Deon Commenced by tho
Wcstinghouso, Church, Kerr Com
panyWill Bo 50100 Feet and
Two Stories High Gang of Men
Engaged in Setting tho Third Ball
In Place Installing tho Power
Plant.
The Lackawanna and Wyoming1 Val
ley llapld Transit company has do-
llnltcly decided to locate its Scranton
passenger station and freight depot on
Mattes street, Just beyond the Dela
ware, Lackawanna nnd Western main
line., Work on the passcger station has
been started by the AVestlnghou.se,
Church, Kerr company, of New York,
which has the contract for the stations
and equipment.
Tho station Will bo SOxlOO feet, built
of brick, with Btono trimmings and
two stories high. The ground floor will
bo used for waiting rooms, ticket of
liccs nnd tho like, and tho second floor
for tho railroad ollleos. A covered
platform will extend from the station
to the "loop" by which tho cars will
approach und leave the station.
Tho freight depot will be JU3t south
of tho passenger station. Its construc
tion will be soon begun.
Mattes street Is to be widened and
paved for Its whole length, the work
to bo done by tho city, tho Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company
and the "Cannon Ball" company.
Plans for Its improvement have boon
prepared by Director of Public Works
John E. Roche.
Work on the Scranton und Northeast
ern branch ofy tho new electric rond,
extending between this city .and Pitts
ton, is being rapidly pushed to com
pletion. A gang of men started In yps
tcrdny to install the third rail, by
which tho electric power Is to be car
ried along tho road.
This third rail is being set eighteen
Inches outside the Inner rail of each
track, every fifth tie, being six Inches
longer than the Others, to give It a
base. Tho third rail Is set outside,
rather than between the trucks, so as
not to hinder ballastlnrr and other re
pair work to the tracks. If It was in
tho center, for Instance, the tamping of
the ties would be more or less Inter
fered with.
Power will be conducted from the
rail to the cur motors by an arm ex
tending from each truck, having, at Its
end a "shoe" which is udjusted' to
slide along the third rail and keep
constantly in contact with it. The
"trolley" is impracticable on hlgh
peed electric roads because of tho
fact that no rider has as yet been in
vented which will not "jump the trol
ley." The power house Is now completed,
with the exception of the roof, and tho
walls of tho car barn are all but fin
ished. Boilers are being placed In posi
tion and the electrical machinery Is on
the ground.
THBEE PETITIONS PILED.
Bankrupts Apply to United States
Court for Relief.
Three debtors' petitions in voluntary
bankruptcy were lllcd yesterday in tho
United States court.
One was entered by Kara C. Keller,
of Shamokln borough, Northumberland
county, whose liabilities are $4,1)11.09,
and his assets $3,'-0G.
Tho second was by William H. Bas
tian, of Sunbury, Northumberland
county; liabilities, $2,313.1!); assets,
$58G.71. Tho other one was that of Dr.
Lewis K. Granger, of Hush, Kusquc
hanna county. Ills liabilities uio $13.
75, and his us.sets, 5:170. The hearing
in this case will be held at Montrose,
on Aug. B.
NOT DAUNTED BY DEFEAT.
City Hall Base Ball Team Will Play
Court House Attaches Saturday.
The bahcball nine, which represents
tho city hall, on the local diamond Is
far from content with the result of its
recent game with the court house at
taches and another match has been ar
ranged for next Saturday.
There is a possibility that Dr. Charles
Gelbert, the city veterinarian, will bo
In tho box for tho municipal ball tos
sers. Dr. Gelbert formerly played on
the University of Pennsylvania nine.
and his presence In Saturday's game Is
likely to make tho contest of a differ
ent nature fiom the last opera-bouffe
exhibition.

in detail," one member remarked dls
coraglngly when Seci clary Fellows

before any further action could be
taken some one had hastily moved to
"refer tho bids to the proper commu
tes." Each bid was accompanied by a cer
tified check for $100. The contesting
concerns are Reynolds Bros., Megargee

WANT A TWO WEEKS' PAY DAY.
Employes on Petersburg Sewer Yes
terday Wont on Strike.
Tho two hundred and fifty employes
of Contractois Gibbous and Guernsey,
of Wllkes-Bnrre, who are building tho
new sewer In Petersburg, went on
etrlko yesterday morning, on account
of tho contractors' refusal to give them
a two weeks' pay day.
Another grievance of the men Is that
two men were discharged for their re
fusal to carry timber, which they
claimed was too heavy a tax upon their
strength. The bosyes said at tho tlmo
that the men simply refused to carry
the wood, while the latter argued that
they wero physically unable to comply
with the if quest. Tho strikers now usk
for n two weeks' pay day and for the
niacins of thtee men upon tho timber
carrying work.
It was last night thought that an
amicable agreement would bo reached
between the contractors and employes,
which would ciilmlnato In the latter
roturning to work this morning,
WANTS BALANCES MERGED.
City Controller Costello Takes Ex
ceptions to Confessing Judgment.
City Controller P. W. Costello yes
terday declaied to a Trlbuno man that
It was entirely unnecessary for tho
city solicitor to enter Judgment against
tho city for the amounts due on tho
largo number of old claims, which havo
been recently agitated. Tills method
was suggested as a possible means of
settling the bills,
He declares that there exists a suf
clont number of balances from tho
varloui appropriations of last year to
bo inerfccd Into rt net sum, which would
easily meet all of these obligations.
Said ho; ''There now exists between
$0,000 and $10,000 worth of unpaid bills
agalivU the city. They are bills which
ought to bo paid, but certainly can
not be, out of this year's appropria
tions, In which not tho least provision
was made for them, fl
"nowover, when we look oyer last
year's appropriations, .wo Had that a
balance exists In practically every de
partment, with tho exception of tho
salaries appropriation. All of these
funds are now lying.. Idle, und all of
them arc at tho city's disposal for Just
such exigencies as these, with tho ex
ception, of course, of those appropria
tions granted for some specific purpose
nnd which havo not yet been em
ployed." The controller was busy yesterday
afternoon ascertaining tho exact
amount of these balunccs, which he
claims are more than enough to meet
nil of the claims. Mr. Costcllo has ad
vocated action of this sort on previous
occasions, and last May a special com
mittee was appointed by councils for
the purpose of drawing up an ordi
nance providing for the merging of tho
balances.
MANY NEW REMITS.
Old Army Soldiers Are Glad to Again
Wear Uncle Sam's Khaki Uni
formsFive New Men.
A rushing business has been done in
tho last few days at the United States
iccrulting station, where five more men
have sworn allegiance to the American
flag, In addition to the large number
mention of whom was made last week
In The Tribune.
A large percentage of the recruits at
the local station is made up of men
who have seen service befoie, cither
in Cuba, Porto Rico or tho Philippines.
Mark Duke and William Gessler, both
of Carbondaie, who arc among tho
most recently enlisted recruits, havo
both been through the mill, with a
vengeance.
Each served for three years in Com
pany L of tho Fifteenth United Stales
infantry, which suffered such disas
trous losses at Luguna de Bay In the
Philippines, during September, 1900.
The captain, first lieutenant, first ser
geant and about a third of the com
pany all met death ther.c.
Other now enlistments are those of
William Gorman, of 315 Oakford court;
Robert Davles, of 310 Penn avenue,
and Henry J. Hess, of 242 Penn ave
nue. All of these men havo been sent
to tho infantry barracks at Columbus,
Ohio.
THE PUBLIC AND STRIKES.
One Author Who Believes Firmly in
Compulsory Arbitration.
In his article on "Strikes and the
Public Welfare," in tho July number of
the North American Review, John Hnn
diboe writes as the advocate of the
community at large. It i3 not to be be
lieved, Mr. Handlboo contends, that tho
relations botween cupltal and labor will
ever become continuously peaceful, and
under picscnt conditions the public
peace and convenience will suffer peri
odically from strikes and .lockouts le
bultlng from misunderstandings be
tween employers and employed. But
the public should protect itself, and
compel employer and employed alike to
settle their differences without resort
to measures which paralyse tho Indus
tries of the country. This could be
done by legislation providing for com
pulsory arbitration in such cases, and
as a prerequisite to such legislation, all
labor unions, whether local, stato or
national, should be incorporated. Says
Mr, Handlboo:
"It Is urgued that a law specifically
designed for the udjustment of lubor
disputes would bo unconsllutional,
because It would Invade tho rights
and privileges of tho Individual and
take out of his hands tho prerogative
of contiolllug his own business. Theo
retically, that la true; practically, it is
not true. For tho good of tho com
munity, laws are enacted and enforced
which deprive men of thorough free
dom of action and regulate even tho
degree of personal liberty which they
may enjoy. In his own home, ho must
comport himself In such manner that
ho shall not annoy his neighbors. Ho
must send his children to school,
whether ho wants to or not. Ho must
build his house, his factory or his the
atre as tho law specifics. Ho cannot
dress as ho may elect, although ho
boasts that tho contrary Is the case.
The employer should not bo permitted
to endanger tho peace of any commun
ity by an appeal to the opinions of Mr.
Bounderby; and the employe should bo
prevented from putting Into practice
the teachings of the ranting dema
gogue. A compulsory arbitration law
need not regulate tho wages paid by
any man to any other man. Hut It
would provide for tho hearing and de
termination of u wage dispute, when
tho parties to that dispute are not In
clined to end tho mutter peacefully for
themselves,"
PERSECUTION IN BRITISH ARMY
