TO DISPOSE OF CULM.
Will Be Washed Into Oxford Mines
to Fill Veins That Have Been
Worked Out.

The Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western company is making prepara-
tions for the erection OF culm washer
to be placed short distance south Of
the Oxford breaker. The greater part
of the lumber needed for construction
is already on the ground and work will
begin shortly.
All sizes Of coal from No 2 buck
wheat upwards will be utilized. The
rock and bony will be crushed and
with the dirt washed back into the
mine. The idea is to bore hole ak to
eight inches in diameter a depth of $50
or 300 feet, thereby tapping the dia-
mond, big and rock veins The big
vein is the first to be filled When the
culm comes from the breaker it will be
washed into the mine as soon as it ia
made. and the dump will disappear as
rapidly as possible, When ons vein
has been filled operations will be trans
ferred to another.
The company will soon open the new
county vein and as there is but eigh-
teen feet of rock between this and the
big vein the filling will be done to
avoid the possibility OF cave.in.

THE KINGS HIGHWAY.
Rev. ]. Richie Smiths Sermon at First
Presbyterian Church.

Rev. ]. Richie Smiths Sermon at First
Presbyterian Church.
Last evening at the First Presby.
terian church the congregation was
treated to scholarly sermon on tho
thirty-fifth chapter Of the book Of
Isaiah by Rev. j. Richie Smith, of
Peekskill. N. Y. The speaker said
that this life may be likened to the
kings highway over which the trave-
Ter may pass with his trust in the
Lord and at the end be received into
the boundless ocean Of Christ's mercy
and forgiveness.
1t is the way of holiness and no un-
clean man shall pass over it. Those
have erred previously against the Lord,
but if they leave the old life behind
them, it shall be a highway of holiness.
There is nothing in this life that we
can make sure Of; but we are sure that
there is boundless eternity, sure Of
the everlastingness of Gods kingdom.
The Kings highway was not built for
perfect man. for there are no such
persons. 1t was built for sinners who
do not continue to sin after having be.
gun q journey upon this highway.
In sin there is discord and in grace
men are brought together. On the
kings highway there is fellowship of
the men and women who seek the
Lord. OF those who have joined Gods
heavenly paradise, and Of men and wo.
men yet to be.
At the end Of the kings highway the
skies no longer shall be overcast. Sun
shine and happiness shall forever
reign, and the wayfarers of life who
have sought Gods mercy will enter
upon their eternal rewards.

Tested with desperate gang Of tramps
combine to give the impression that
our municipal laws do not meet this
case, or some one is derelict in duty.
Within the past two weeks several
burglaries have occurred along the line
OF the Delaware and Hudson between
here and Carbondale, and the evidence
goes to show that these acts were the
work of tramps.
Many people have been stopped on
the city thoroughfares and virtually
robbed, that Is they have been halted
by tough looking characters who
would ask for money and in such cases
refusal to grant their request meant
violence. The writer and others whom
he has engaged in conversation on the
topic have been frequently stopped on
Lackawanna avenue and asked to con-
tribute something to "help poor fel.
low to get nights lodging" One
prominent man told OF having bsen ac-
costed three times in one block on
Lackawanna avenue. These vagrant's

hesitate to seek lodgings in the differ

SOFT TOWN FOR TRAMPs.
Any number of them have been ar
rested but as rule the arrests were
made by night watchmen, especially
those stationed about the railroad
yards, where the tramps rob cars and
steal the workmen's dinners. There is
but few instances in which these des-
peradoes have been given any more
serious punishment than nights lodg-
ing at the station house, breakfast in
the morning and warning to get out

sponsible for the tramp nuisance. This

The first gang that located here estab.
lished camp fire just beyond the city
line at Greenwood and caused no end of
annoyance to the people Of the neigh
bornood. The Diamond field, Ontario
and Western yard and the dumps at
the different mines soon had their
settlers and now there is scarcely an
inviting place about the city but what

This is believed by every one who ha!

there are other methods Of disposing OF
the vagrants and the best method is Il

and liberal application at this time
