TRACTION COMPANY WORK
Moro Being Done Than the Public
Has Any lIca OF.
BUILDING TWO NEW LINES
One VIII Reach to Archibald aud the
Other to Pctcrsbur:-Each Will
Dc Opened Before Jan. /.
Changes on Old Lines.

Few persons are aware OF the exten-
sive construction operations now being
considered or performed by the Scran-
ton Traction company or In its interest.
The line to Archibald long the east side of
the Lackawanna river is nearing COM
pletion, q new line to Petersburg from
Mulberry street has been started and
preparations are being made Tor relay
ing and repairing old lines.
So rapidly is the work of erecting the
electric road up the valley on the east
side of the Lackawanna river being
pushed that it is expected that cars will
be running over it by Christmas. 1t Is
not being erected by the Scranton Trac-
tion company, but will be operated by
that concern under lease after us
completion.
The new road bed is finished and rails
laid from Olyphant to Throop and
woriSmen are now engaged laying the
rails from Throop towards this city.
The new road will connect with the
Green Ridge Peoples line at Sanderson
avenue and East Market street. Arch
bald is the terminus of the road, where
it will connect with the Carbondale
electric road
RcIaying Track to Green Ridge.
For the Scranton Traction company
route to Petersburg the road will be
berry street, the most direct route, or
out Harrison avenue from Mulberry
to Olive street. thence to Prescott ave-
nue..
Beginning Monday rails were laid on
Prescott avenue for two blocks north OF
Mulberry street and then the work had
to be stopped, as no grade had been
furnished for the remainder Of the
route. Recently the company secured
from councils a permit to lay the track
on Harrison avenue, but later the Pres
colt avenue route was found to be the
most desirable and met with the ap-
proval Of property owners. A new
route ordinance was therefore intro
duced In councils and Is now pigeon
holed in committee. January Is the
date on which. according to the Ordi-
nance, the work must be completed.
The councilmanic delay and the alb
sence Of an established grade on Pres
cot avenue may, however. Oblige the
company to resort to the less desirable
Harrison avenue route, as the company
proposes to build the line before snow
flies.
Tho Petersburg Route.
The company has engaged large
force of men and will soon replace the
light rails and ballast on Washington
avenue between Ash and Marion streets
with heavy rails and a more substantial
structure. Beginning to-day cars will
be run to the lower crossing In Moosic.
| A minute service will be given be-
tween Lackawanna avenue and the city
| line, and half hour service from there
to Moosic

The Brownies Drew Large Audiences TO
tho rockingham Yesterday.
The popularity of 1.-The Brownies"
with Scranton theater-goers was we'll
demonstrated by the large audiences
that crowded the rockingham yester-
day afternoon and last night to see the
spectacle.
1t was given at both matinee and
evening performances with the same
care and attention that marked the first
production Monday night. "The
Brownies is great entertainment
and is sure Of q warm welcome when

A pleasing feature of the entertain

the celebrated Lally children, of Pine
Brook. who gave one of their acts. the
little boys dancing to music furnished
by their sister, who played upon tho
violin. The efforts of the trio were
greeted with storm of applause and
they were obliged to respond to several
encores before the regular performance
could proceed.

Another weighty communication IA
voring ithree-months' presidential

RATES WERE TOO HIGH.
Railway Commissioner Report on tn,
Matter.

Business men of Morrow county
asked the railway Commissioner to
intercede for reduction in rates
on wheat from Douglas county, and
Chairman Marcum replied:
'In order to facilitate the com.
mission have deemed it prudent to
present the matter to Mr.. e. Nc
Neil, receiver Of the 0. r. & N. Co.,
in an informal way and thereby
ascertain the best methods to pur-
sue in the matter. AS soon as Mr..
Mcneil returned, we presented the
matter to him. We went fully in
to the merits Of the case, showing
to him that the present condition
of wheat raising was such that if
the farmer could not obtain some
relief and better returns for his
crops, that wheat raising would
from necessity, be abandoned and
the business which the railroad
obtained themselves would be cut
off, and that the railroad was more
interested in the continued produc-
tion Of wheat than any other par
ty.
"From the full investigation Of
the whole matter, and the prospect
for q future reduction, and taking
into consideration that the larger
portion of the crop Of 1894 has al
ready been moved, and tho possibi-
lity that the schedule for 1895 may
be put into effect before all the bal
ance of the grain is shipped out,
we are of the opinion that the best
interest of the Heppner branch will
be served by not further insisting
upon on reduction of rates at
Douglas at present. On behalf Of
the board, I. A. MARCUS.

Ho Pc OF SILVER MEN.
An Old Law Which They Say vii
Bring About Coinage of Silver.

An old law has been discovered
upon the statute books by the free
silver men, which they declare
gives them ground to hope that
they can bring about the coinage Of
silver in an indirect way through
the use of Mexican dollars. The
law was passed in 1857, and is sec
tion 1867 Of the revised statutes.
Itis as follows:
"The pieces commonly known lis
the quarter eighth and sixteenth Of
the Spanish dollar and Of the Mex
lean dollar shall be receivable at
the treasury of the United States
and its several offices and its seve-
raj postofiices and land offices at
the rates Of valuation following.
'"The fourth Of a dollar or piece
Of 2 reals, at 20 cents; the eighth Of
a dollar or piece Of l real, at 10
cents and the sixteenth Of "A dollar,
or half real at cents"
The section following provides
that the coins shall not be reissued
from the treasury but shall be re-
coined into United States coins.
The law has never been repealed,
and silver men in congress assert
that it is possible to send the metal
to Mexico for coinage, reimport it
into the United States and present
it at the treasury. They assert
that tbs validity Of the law is be-
yond question and point to the
statute resurrected by Secretary
Carlisle which practically compels
the treasury to redeem national
bank notes in gold, as evidence
that there are more intricacies in
the monetary system than have
been realized.
