TRACK Will Be MOVED
Ninth, Robinson and jackson Streets
Can Now BE Paved.
RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE
Vice President Clark, Of tho Traction
Company. Reported That Ills Com.
pany Was willing to Move the Rails
from tho Center Of Street.

There is a bright prospect that before
winter rolls around again Scranton will
have a paved thoroughfare all the way
from the central city to Main avenue,
West Side.
The project has been agitated and dis
cussed for years and the great OBJ
stacle in the way was the track and
switch of the Traction company, which
runs along the extreme easterly side Of
Robinson street. Until that track was
moved to the center of the thoroughfare
nothing could be done towards paving
and for a time the trolley company
refused to move its track, as 1t had
become owner by purchase of the land
occupied by its rails before Robinson
street was opened to give an easy grade
from Lackawanna to Main avenue.
Many Conferences IlhId.
Many conferences were held between
the Traction company officers and men,
bers of the West Side board Of trade,
who had the paving project in charge,
but the company could not be induced to
alter its resolution not to move the
track.
Another conference was held yester-
day afternoon between Vice President
Clark and Manager J. r. Beetem, Of
the Traction company, Select Council
man T. f. McCann, Common Council
man p. j. Nealis, II. F. Mason and A.
M. Morse, of the Board OF trade, and
City Engineer Joseph Phillips.
This conference proved most satis-
factory. Mr. Clark agreed to have the
track Of his company moved to the
center of Robinson street, and will deed
to the city the land on which the track
Is now laid. The papers making the
transfer of the land will be executed
within few days.
The members of the West Side board
of trade are quite jubilant over the
favorable outcome, Of the long agita-
tion.
Pavement to Be Made.
Stone blocks are already on the
ground for paving West Lackawanna
avenue, between the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western crossing and Ninth
street, and work on the improvement
will begin within few weeks
Property owners on Ninth, Robinson
ana jackson streets have agreed to lay
stone block roadway fronting their
properties, and as soon as the track
Is moved there will be a substantial
pavement laid from the city to Main
avenue, and the unsightly and danger
Gus mud holes of Robinson street will
be things of the past

MR.. PIAZZA HAS GONE.

BILLS.

LcIt kemtn0crS IN tnc Snapc OF Unpaid
Bills.
Some commotion has been caused in
the Italian community Of Raymond
court, by the sudden disappearance of
G.. p. Piazza, who omitted to pay his
debts before leaving that locality.
Piazza was regarded as leading COM
mercial man among his fellow-country-
men, being a wholesale banana dealer
who retailed to the street vendors.
For some time Piazza has transacted
considerable business, and in the height
of the season purchased goods to the
value of $1,000 per week from the firm
of c. d. Wegman and company, Of
Lackawanna avenue, with whom he has
left reminder in the shape of an in
debtedness of 5000. Claims are also held
against him by N. B. Ashley, produce
dealer, Lackawanna avenue, and there
are also clothing, shoemakers' and
blacksmiths' bills.
Piazza, it is reported, had a consid-
erale amount of money in his possess
sion. when he left the city, and 1t is

HOW ABOUT THE WEATHER Z?
Dolph Atherton's Signals Will Give the
Information.

Secretary d. B. Atherton; of the board
of trade, has been successful in arrang-
ing with the weather bureau of the de-
partment of agriculture for the estab-
lishment of a service of weather sig
nails to be displayed at the court house.
A few days ago Mr.. Atherton wrote
the bureau authorities upon the matter
asking whether such an arrangement
could be made to display the signals on
a public building, under the auspices of
the board of trade, and pointing out
that Scranton had not the advantages
possessed by cities of similar size.
Mr.. Atherton offered to give the matter
his personal attention If the application
was granted.
Yesterday a courteous reply was re-
ceived, stating that If the board Of
trade were ready to begin the display
at once, flags would be mailed from
the office. and the necessary instruc-
tions and kilograms forwarded from
time to time.
In the course Of a few days the nec-
essary arrangements will be complete
and the service established. The flags
will be hoisted on the fiag-pole above
the Washington-avenue entrance to
the court house, and will be changed
from time to time in accordance with
the kilograms from the weather bureau
Mr. Atherton will make ample arrange
ments for the changing of flags as soon
as the kilograms are received.
In order that the public may be ac-
qualnted with the various signs on the
flags, small cards will be printed,
similar in design to the cards announc-
ing the location of fre-alarp boxes.

Lie Saved by Catskins

All of the residents OF the East End,
Cleveland, Ohio, are discussing the appaE-
ent resurr ection from the dead OF
popular contractor and the strage metb9di
pursued in saving his life. For five weeks
he has been i'll with pneumonia and is now
recovering.
There was a period In his sickness, how
ever, when his two physicians gave him
up for dead. His breath came al the rate
of seventy-twu respirations per minute,
his pulse was 1872, and his temperature
1O9. At the moment when the doctors ex-
peCted every breath to be his last, at a
neighbor's suggestion the skin of a cat
was applied to the chest.
Coincident with the application OF the
catskin Improvement came. During the
first night thirteen cats were killed and
skinned and the warm skins applied 10
the sick mans chest. The skins chung TO
the flesh of the patient for thirty minutes,
when they fell off and a new one was
applied. In all thirty-two cats were killed,
and there is no doubt that they saved the
mans life.
This was done with the consent and ap-
