Deceased was born in Nantwieh. Eng

l. & w. r. r. at their shops at Scranton
In 1861 he entered the employ Of Erie Rail-
road at Port Jervis, where he was foreman

More Railroad TalE.

From the papers we learn that
application has been made for a
charter for n new railroad to be
called the Delaware Valley, Hudson
and Lehigh Railroad Company. The
company is composed of DR.. j. B.
Lung, President; Hon. M. F. Cool
baugh, treasurer, and Miles G.
Shoemaker. Rush, Pa, Charles
Woolsey, Brooklyn, N. Y, E. f.
Peters, Bushkill, V. Pride, Brook
lyn, j. Kellow, Pen Argyll, and Hon.
j. Ii. Shull, Stroudsburg, directors.
The capital stock has been fixed at
1895, 900 and ten per cent. paid, etc.
As usual the gentlemen connected
with such magnificent enterprises
are reticent, but say there is plenty
of money and some of the members
are very wealthy men. They also
say that if property owners along
the line will deal squarely, be ILL
eral, and work with the new COM
pany the road will be built. The
road will run from Wind Gap to
Matamoras. We are eminently in
favor of a railroad down the valley,
and sincerely hope one will be built.
This proposed road would be about
fifty miles long. By the act of
assembly the capital stock shall not
be less then ten thousand dollars for
every mile proposed to be con-
structed, ten per cent. of which must
be paid in cash. This company
therefore might have been capital
lied at $3.50, 900, and have paid in
$55. 900. They are so wealthy how
ever they capitalize at 1926, 900, and
pay in $27, 500 more then was neces-
sary to secure a charter.
Just take this extra amount gen
and deal literally and fairly
and squarely, and work with the
land owners, and you will not have
any trouble, not mite, and then the
road will surely be built.

A soft light from the purple morn
Across the landscape makes its Way.
And glorious hopes are born
Upon the nations natal day.
More than century's years have run
Since Valley Forge and Bunker Ilil
While ConcOrd's fight and Lexington
Bring memories that thrill us still
Too rarely now we count the cost
And hazard Of that warfare's wage
Of think on what rough seas were tossed
The patriots Of our earlier age.
Firmly they stood against the night
OF the whole worlds supremest power
They fought by faith and not by sight
When failure threatened hour by hour.
But he who rules the fates and years.
Who shapes all human destinies,
Made hope the conquerDr Of their fears
And brought us freedom linked with
peace.
Lift, then, today the stripes and stars
And let our cOuntry's banner wave.
Which went victorious through its wars
And still inspires the true and brave.
Peal bells, upon the summer air
Bring music and the cannOn's aid
For where exists land more fair
Than that our patriot fathers made

ConstantinOple Monuments.

AS to the facilities for visiting tho mon
umcnts of Constantinople, Max Muller
says, rs recorded in Letters From Con
stantinoplc, by Mrs. Max Muller:
with little trouble any stranger car
get admission To she principal monuments
at ConstantiDoplc. One has to pay back
shecsh, but the idea that the Turks scowl
at visitors who enter the mosques Is purely
imaginary. Turks do not smile or smirk
but us to their wishing to kill all Chris.
tian dogs, that is purely subjective preju
dice on tho part Of timid travellers. Certain
places are forbidden, and il strangers, from
ignorance or inquisitivencss, enter there,
the Turk makes 1t very clear that he does
not approve of It, but he does not dream OF
expressing his disapproval by means of the
dagger. There Is II police and there Is law
mt Constantinople, as everywhere else, moi
is religious fanaticism any longcran cxcus,
for violence or brutality. Excessc.
will happen in Turkey as well rs al
Aigucs Nlortes in France. hut such OK
cesscs are punished in Turkey even more
promptly than in France"
