AFTER A FRANCHISE.
Scranton Rapid Transit Company to
Urge the Acceptance ofIts Propo-
sition on Councils.

The Scranton Rapid Transit COM
pany has not relinquished its effort to
secure from the city the right OF way
for trolley lines in various sections Of
the city 1t is understood that an ef-
fort will be made to have favorable ac-
tion taken by the railways committee
of common council on an ordinance
granting them franchise previous to
this evenings session. The common
council, according to officials of the
Transit company. is considered more
favorable ground for privileges than
the select body.
The ordinance which will probably
be acted upon by the railways commit
tee today, was received in committee
from the common council July &c, and
has since lain inactive, 1t provides for
the laying Of a single track along Ger
tain streets and over the proposed
South and West Side bridges.
Remuneration is offered by $500 an
nual payment for crossing the Linden
street bridge. the gratis use Of poles for
firs alarm boxes and police telephone
and telegraph lines, and agreement tc
grade all streets which the company
shall occupy and which are now un.
graded. These are to be the city's ben.
efits according to the ordinance in com.
mittes, but it is said that the company,
In view OF the growing sentiment
against such franchises, and to over
come antagonism will be willing tc
offer greater inducements.
They agree to begin construction
within six months from the passage OF
the ordinance, complete the work in
two years thereafter and furnish trans
fers from one line to any other.
The routes proposed are as follows
From Laekawanna avenue along Wash.
ington to Spruce, to Jefferson, to Bank
to Linden, to Quincy, to Pine, to Web
ster, to Ash, to Prescott. to city line
also on Platt place, from Bank to Mon
roe, to Linden; also from Ridge rov
across the proposed bridge, then aloDl
the road connecting this bridge t.

rest difficult matter, when Patrolman
Flaherty came to Roche's aid. White is
hanger-on at Raymond court resort,

bad man. Early yesterday morning he
threatened to annihilate woman named

Los ANGELES, Sept. 24-Thomas C.
Gallagher and e. T. Buchanan, convicted
Of obstructing the United States mails on
June q. 1894. by endeavUring to persuade
Fireman Lewis to fOrsake his engine, came
before Judge Ross for sentence to-day.
When the names of the defendants were
called their attorney made strong appeal
for mercy. In answer to this Judge Ross
said in view OF the fact that the defendants
were not criminals 10 the fullest sense of
the word. and that their offense had been
committed during a stage of intense excite
ment, he would not administer peniten-
tiary sentence, a proceeding which would
stigmatize them for life, but be would put
them in the County Jail and fine them in
accordance with the demands of the
statute.
''It is the Judgment of this court there
fore, that each Of the defendants be i'm
prsoned in the County Jail for period of
eighteen months and that each be fined in
the su m of S1O00," was the sentence.

The Chinese general in command near

of the Kiang-Nan Arsenal director and
offered rewards for the capture or proof of

Less than forty Europeans and Ameri-

the war 1000 small Japanese merchants
and about 200 Chinese resided at the open

GOING TO THE FRONT.
Chinese Recruits Making Their WAY
Through Tartary.

Hone KoNG, Aug. %. - The North
China Daily News has the following letter
from a correspondent in Manchuria:
LIAoYANG, Aug. 1.
Liaoyang is the ancient capital of Man
churia, and it is from here that the mill
tary road to the Korean frontier branches
off from the great north and south road
through the province. Consequently all
northern troops ordered TO the frcnt must
pass our gates. During the last week
some 5000 infantry have gone by and 700
cavalry under the command of Generals
Tso, Keng and Feng. Reports make out
fully 1000 of these to be but raw recruits,
newly enlisted for this special service.
Enlistment goes on merrily all round, the
poor people being tempted by the high pay
OF It's. 3 60 per month. It is a veritable
godsend to many of them, for their crops
have been ruined by last months floods.
The few stragglers that we personally
have seen on the march certainly look
very raw. Yesterday we watched a few
in charge of some eartloads of soldiers
kits and some powder. In front marched
their leader with fixed bayonet and very
conscious sense of his own importance.

mems of the 'brave" procession. 1t is
said. with what measure of truth know
not. that Chinese troops only have been
ordered forward bitherto-the Manchus
being held back meanwhile for reasons
best known to themselves.
News travels slowly in these regions
and we have only just heard of the car
ture of their Majesties of Korea. The re-
port has Occasioned considerable excite
ment, and it will be sill more difficult to
obtain information henceforth, for we
hear that an order has been Issued that the
war shall not be discussed by the common
people, lest they become unsettled. Silver
is rising quickly, so is the price of grain.
Millet which a month ago sold at taos
per tou, is to-day quoted at $500 taos,
which makes most OF our neighbors look
forward very anxiously.
As an instance of the average attitude
OF the people toward the war take the
words of well-educated merchant in
town, who the other day discussing the
topic of the hour with me said: But

porance. LIS small affair to crush her
