The Fhonogrnpliio Magazine Pays
Tribute to Prof." W. A. 'F. .Scott.
The Phonographic .Magazine, of Cin
cinnati, Ohio, which is the recognized
magazine amongstcnographcrs through
out the country in this month's number
prints a half tone out of Prof. W. A.
P. Scott, of this city and gives a re
view of his career. This is no small
honor for one of our townsmen to be
thus recognized by , this leading, mng-
"tiss!riei'li,'iU, lield. The sketch of Mr.
sctftt is as lollowp:
"V A. P. Scott, of Carbondale, p.i.,
is a Canadian -by birth, having been
bom in St. John, Now Brunswick. Fam
ily leverses necessitated his leaving
school at a rather early age, and a sc-
vcre illness, followed by some years of
poor health, interrupted his .shorthand
career for u long time, but in spite of
these drawbacks he lias attained no
small degree of success In his chosen
profession. He pursued the study of
phonography entirely without other aid
than that afforded by the Manual of
phonography and Repouer's Compan
ion, and when ho was able to write at
the rnteof one hundred words a min
ute he was given a position as stenog
laphqr in the largo mercantile business
of Cnrvell Brothers (his uncles), In
Chailoltestown, Prince Edward Island.
During his employment there much of
his leisure time was devoted to im
proving .himself ulang stenagraphle
lines, aim ne did considerable practis
ing with W. H. Crossklll (certified
teacher), stenographer to tho govern
ment of Prince Edward Island and a
skilled reporter.
"On loaving Carvell Brothers, Mr.
Scott first formod a connection with
tho Guardian, nnd afterwards with tMJ
Examiner" Publishing company. While
with the newspaper ho did all kinds of
reporting, but his health soon after
ward fa'lled,. and the next four years
were necessarily devoted to Its recov
ery. Then, thinking that teaching
would tax him less than reporting, ho
came to the United States, and after
working for' a time in West Pittston,
Pa., and then in New York city, he sot
tied in Carbondale, Pa., nnd became
proprietor of (ho Carbondale Commer
cial Institute Hero his efforts have
mot with well-merited success.
".Mr. Scott was awarded the Phon
ographic IiiBtlluto teachers' certificate
jjui o, aouo, mi ma successfully pass

Will Probably Be Decided Upon at
Meeting Monday Night The Fair
Store, on North Main Street, the
Most Favorably Considered.
The Htwkhuldeis of the new bank
projci ted, by Carbondale business men
will meet Monday for reoiganlzatlon.
Ollieers and a lioaul of dlrectois will
bo elected, a name will be decided upon
end everything will be perfected so
that the application "for the charter-can
be advertised at once.
An important matter that will inon
likely be disposed of, In which there
Is a -good deal of speculative interest
among the public, is the choice 'of a
site.
Since the project took tangible shape
and Its success seemed assured, offers
of a site came in abundance." Perhaps
a dozen have been received, nearly all
on cither Main street or Salem avenue.
Tlie one, However, which seems to meet
with the greatest favor is the placo
whereon is located White's Boston
Novelty store, on .North Main street,
just above the Miners' and Mechanics'
bank. It is very desirably located, in
tho heart of the business district and,
besides a good frontage, the lot Is
more than ordinarily deep, running
back to'thc river. Possession, it is
said, could be obtained at once. Tho
indications point to the selection of
this site.

As yet an Imiuent has been held to In
vestigate tho mysterious death of John
Wachs, whoso body was found decap
itated on tho I.ehlgh Valley tracks In
this city on Christmas morning, Tho
remains have been burled two days,
Coroner Beige Issuing a death cc-rtlH-cuto
to tho effect that deceased was ac
cidentally killed on tho railroad. The,
coroner, It Is. claimed, says ho will
hold no Inquest In the case unless tho
family ask for one. There are inuny
people here, Including the chief of po
lice, parties who viewed the body and
several physicians, who will accept no
other theory than that The man had
beep murdered. It is a strange fact
that it has not yet developed what train
struck the man. There was snow on
the ground that night and It surely
would have been easy for lUfMiginecr
to gco whether or not hisHie hud
struck any person. The family, It is'
said, is not1 satisfied with the coroner's
decision and will demand that an in?
quest be held. If the coroner compiled,
the body will doubtless bo exhumed apd
examined by a number of physicians.
