young lady has small brother named
Tommy, and the other night there was
tea-party at the family mansion. and
the supper table was very much crowd
ed, so much so that Tommy's 8 younger
sister was crowded up very close to
him, whereupon he made the remark

Jay G0uId7s Tannery.

jay Gould used to live not far from
here, and when he came to Scranton
the other day with Sam Sloan and Sid
ney Dillon there was general desire to
see him He did not stay very long,
however, to make or renew acquaint-
ances His train came laundering down
from Moscow at the rate of fifty miles
an hour, and the order, "Clear the
track" went through from here to Os-
wego as soon as the party came in sight
Here he found time to step out on the
platform. The only new acquaintance
he made was w. r. Storrs, general coal
agent of the Delaware, Lackawanna u
Western Railroad. Storrs is an austere,
thorough-g going, hard working man, who
has general supervision of the mines in
this section. When he and Gould were
introduced he asked after Gould's health,
and the latter replied by asking,
ssWhat's your capacity?" He meant for
producing coal, Mr.. Storrs understood
and promptly answered, after which the
party boarded their special train and
went flying through the Notch.
An old man who saw Gould on the
platform, and heard that he could not
remainder whether he gave his check
for five millions or ten millions when he
gathered in alittle telegraph stock, said
II worked with him more than quar-

Gouldsboro. He got into snarl with
the authorities there about the owner
ship of the tannery, and the military
had to be called out to drive him from
possession He was as hard to fight
then as he is to-day. The whole region
was excited about it, and the affair was
known all over the country as the
Gouldsboro rebellion A big lawsuit
grew out of it. Charley Pike, of Wilkes
barre, defended Gould, and got him off
all right"
The scene Of the tannery warfare of
which the old man spoke is a short dis
tance south of this city, on the Poeono
Mountain When Gould passed through
it the other day he is said to have re-
marked to Sloan: "This place don't
seem to have changed much since ran
