vote
The ordinance under which the Car

effect that unless the road be com
leted within eighteen months there.

voked. The company laid It's track as
far as Coyles hotel before winter and
about three weeks ago began work for
the extension to the BlakeIy borough
line The ties have been laid over the
entire route. but the rails have not
been laid more than 800 yards above
the point where work stopped last
year
The ordinance having expired yea
terday 1t is probable that the Carbon
dale company will not bo allowed to
do any further work on the track. This
being the caSe it il pretty certain that
the Scranton Traction company will be
given permission to extend its lines
from Blskely borough to the present
terminus Of the Carbondnle line, dis

1t is likely that decisive action will
be taken in day or two. The matter
is one Of considerable interest to the
people ia the upper end of the valley.

Dallas, Tex, Nov. s.-Nothing has
been heard of j. c. Thomas. the ster-
EFT station farmer who mysteriously
disappeared from the streets Of Dallas
in broad day light as II by super
natural means. two weeks ago tomor-
row; nor Of Jake Warden, the Swiss
boy, who disappeared last Saturday
night. although the most dilisent
search has been made by tho relatives
and friends OF the missing men. anu
BY detectives and policemen.
Thomas had about $50 In money on
him when he disappeared. and Nerder
about $50. There Is no conceivable
reason known to the friends OF me
missing men for their leaving the
country In this secret fashion; but on
the contrary. evry reason for beiiev-
ing that they would not thus leave.
The theory that the men were muir
dersd fos their money Is the most
plausible and the most readily ac-
copted one by those who have lhFes-
tiEated the matter This theory q
course supposes the existence here o.
two or more persons engaged IN me ~,

has been knocked into spunters BY
the action OF the lake and rail- lines.
The proposed advance was to he on
bosis of IS cents on grain, but at the

be shipped for 20 cents and there Is
small difficulty in getting lower ratea
than this. There is now absolutely no
