RAPID TRANSIT.
Street Car Facilities Furnished by
the Scranton Railway Com
pany---Elegant VeStibuIe Trolley
Coaches.

There is probably no city in the
country that under existing conditions
enjoys better facilities for rapid tran
sit than does Scranton today, under
the service of the Scranton Railway
company. Profting by years of expert
ment the officials of the Traction COM
pany have brought the street car serv-
ice of the Electric City to a state near
ing protection that Is not equalled in
many cities Of the size of Scranton.
The growth of street railway inter-
ests in Scranton forms an interesting
chapter in the history of it's marve-
lous progress. The first street railway
was Incorporated in 1866 when A. B.
Dunning, -. r. Randall, George Tracy,
y. Bennett and Samuel Raub We're
authorized to conduct q service under
name, style and title OF the Peoples
Street Railway Company of Luzerne
County" They We're allowed the right
to lay tracks from near Scranton to
Providence and Hyde Park. The road
which was equipped with two l4-foot
onc-horse cars was the pride of the en-
thuSiastic SCrantonan and the wonder
of the visiting rustic who threaded
our thoroughfares a quarter OF a cen
tury or more ago. The cars madd
hourly trips and the fare was ten
| cents. In March 1865 the Scranton
and Providence Passenger Railway
, company" was organized by George
Sanderson, Jacob Robinson, George S.

are among the many things illustrat-

force may be put through the genius
of the inventor OF the nineteenth cen
tury. Formerly an electric light was
a simple thing in appearance, but with
In the last few years the talent of the
artist has been coupled with that of
the cunning mechanic and the devices

derful in design. BY aid of colored and
ground glass, wrought iron, brass and
copper, the incandescent light of to-
day is n thing of wondrous beauty.
In addition to the immense power
houses used by the street railroads
and heat and light companies, numer-
Gus concerns generate their own cur
rents for lighting and motor power,
and the success OF this force which was
practically unknown in the days of our
grandfathers Is almost marvellous.
The electric light interests of Scran-
ton are controlled by the Scranton
Electric Light and Heat company and
the Suburban Electric Light company.

another company was organized which
had capital stock of fifty thousand
dollars divided as follows: T. c. Snow
er, 100 shares; G. Clark, 100 shares
b. r. Leonard, 300 shares; II. c. Doud,
100 shares; Victor Koch, 100 shares
Charles Robinson, 100 shares; NJ. II.
Dale, 100 shares; c. L. Mercereau, 100
shares. Letters patent were issued in
Dec. 2S, 1856. The new company was
known as the Nay Aug Crosstown
Railway company and operated a road
running from Adams avenue up Linden
and Mulberry Btrcets to Nay Aug
Falls. On May 81, 1888, the Suburban
and CrosstoWn lines were merged into
one, known as the Suburban Railway
company.
The Scranton Passenger Railway
company was organized in April 1888,
With interpretations as follows: Charl-
es j.. Chttenden, Melvin 1. Corbett,
Louis a. Watres, Arthur Christy, and
Alex j. Connell. This company built
and operated a road running from
Lackawanna to Pittston avenue which
was known as the South Side road.
In 1880 the various companies above
mentioned were leased by the Peoples
Street Railway company, which had
in the meantime adopted electricity,
and the entire system was conducted
under one management. Many i'm
provements in the road were made
at this time, and the consolidation was
beneficial to the public i'll many ways,

Builders and Contractors.

The rapid growth of Scranton has
made the business of the builder and
contractor among the most prosperous
of occupations, and the numerous firms
that make q speciality of building on
contract or otherwise are amply equip
ped with material and mechanical in
genutty necessary to the highest grades
in the field of modern architecture. The
splendid editices, public and private,
that greet the eye at every hand in
the city are proof that the building in
terests are up to date in all details.
The city builders are thoroughly post
ed on the latest designs in artistic
building and their warehouses and
stores and finishing shops are replete
with all grades of wood used in the
finishing Of q modern home. BY these
institutions q large number of skilled
mechanics and designers,a and draughts-
men are employed and the industry is
one that is second to none in the mat
ter of vital interest to the citv.
The ramiflcations OF the building and
contracting business are many, and
reach the mason. the plumber, the
painter the timer, the decorator, and
in fact the artisan in nearly every oc-
cupation,
The representative builders and con-
tractors are Peter Stipp, Price & Ho-

Carpets and DraperleS.

A tour through the big establishments
in Scranton devoted to carpets and
house furnishings will reveal display
that suggests the scenes of oriental
splendor so charmingly described in
the Arabian Nights. With the advance

arrangement in color and design i'll
house furnishing, as we'll as in the
better class OF studies that are created
by the etcher and oil painter for the
walls, the home of even the man of
moderate circumstances can often at
slight expense be made an artistic
dream Of which the aesthetic nature
will never tire. The show rooms Of
the Scranton diapers give evidence of
the master mind III art both in ar
ranCemcnt OF goods and in selections.
Here may be found III endless variety

produced by the American and foreign
carpet weaver, in all the famous quail
ties so we'll known to readers. The old
villianous combinations of color and
patterns that produced melancholy up
on the patron Of artistic instincts have
almost entirely disappeared from the
modern wareroom, and in their stead
one may behold modest and tasteful
designs that attract the buyer for their
simplicity and richness. But the
Scranton wholesalers and retailers
have not confined themselves solely
to the home products or direct importa-
tions from the well known establish
1nents of England and France. 10
cater to the popular demand for rugs
they have secured the deserts of the
orient, and the choicest products of
Turkey, Persia, India and Japan may
be found in abundance among their
wares. In both modern and antique
rugs the results of weary years or
patient toll are offered in the fascinat-
ing patterns of barbaric splendor that
cannot be initiated or equalled by the
most skilled and cunning weaVers of
civilized countries. For variety and
beauty the lines of rugs shown by the
Scranton dealers can scarcely he ex-
celled in the baZaarS of Jerusalem and
Constantinople.
In draperieS one may also find a
beWildering assortment and Of the most
artistic patterns. In light hangings
the stock embraces everything from
common muslin to the finest lace,
while in the heavy draperieS the ar
ran cement of brocades, Japanese silks,
tapestries, etc, is Kaleidoscope and
Ga27ling.
The trade in carpets and draperies
in this city reaches the surrounding
country both in wholesale and retail
departments, the immense stocks car
ried making 1t unnecessary for the
suburban merchant to seek elsewhere
when in search of goods in this line.

CHARLES b. SCOTT.

one of the longest established and
best known business houses in the city
Is that of Charles b. Scott, 119 Frank
lin avenue dealer in engines, boilers,
steam pumps electric motors and ma
chinery supplies. Mr.. Scott's success
in these lines has encouraged him to
engage recently in the kindred lines
OF steam and hot water heating, cleo
trio wiring and gas and electric fix
lures. He keeps on hand all of the
most approved boilers, pipes, fittings,
valves and radiators used in the va
rious systems of hot water and steam
heating, and is prepared to make plans
and specifications and to contract at
shortest notice and at reasonable
prices for large or small plants adapted
to public institutions or private dwell
ings, including the lower and high pres
sure and exhaust or blower systems
for mills, etc. In the line of gas and
electric fixtures, he exhibits the most
artistic designs to be seen anywhere.
These are the product of the Cassidy
& Sons Manufacturing company of
New York, who make the very finest
goods in this line. Three large rooms
on the second floor of his spacious
building are used for this purpose, and
they constitute permanent exhibition
Of beautiful articles in brass, bronze,
copper, iron, nickel and glass, which
is well worth going 20 see Those who
contemplate the construction of new
buildings or the changing of systems
or fixtures in old buildings will do well
to see Mr.. Scott before they give their
orders. His reputation for courtesy,
honorable dealing and promptness is
high, as is evidenced by the growth
of his business from a small begin
ming to its present large proportions.

1t was while looking at this space
that the new idea occurred to the de-
tective In order to turn the mill wheels,
sluices are built which conduct the va
ter in the desired direction. When these
are open, it is evident that strong cur
rent sets in the direction of the mill.
This is SO powerful and there is such
suction downward that objects on the
surface would be drawn below and car
ried into the mill, were it not that the
sluice gates are furnished with gratirgs
to keep out such jetsam. Studying this
point, it became evident to the detective
that if the sluices were open on Sunday
right, the bundle of clothing must be
looked for at these gratings.
He therefore went to the mill aid
asked for tie man who had the care CT
the sluices. From him he learned that
they had heen closed Oh the hight Of the
murder. and then persuaded him to
have them closed this evening also, SO
that the conditions might be the same.
Leaving the vicinity of the mill, he
went back to Riverside and enjoyed his
supper with Miss Lewis. After the
meal he said:
where is Mr. Lewis? Is be not stay
ing here?''
"He accepted an invitation to visit

left the room, returning q few minutes
later with some clothing. The detective
placed the articles in a pail of water, al
lowing them to become thoroughly wet
before he removed them. Next he rolled
them into a compact bundle, which lie
tied securely.
''I am now ready for my experiment.
My idea is to go to the bridge and throw
that bundle over, as Marvel claims
! that he did. and then see what becomes

my parcel tighter than the other, and
SO have left less chance for the cloth to

Everly will report.
Virginia accompanied him, but when
they reached the spot where Everly had
last been seen by them he was nowhere
in sight. His coat and hat, however,
were on the bank, and from this the de-
tective concluded that the young man,
in his zeal, had entered the stream In
pursuit of the bundle, and Mr.. Barnes
decided to await his return before pro-
ceeding further with his plan. AS the
minutes passed, however, first Virginia
and then Mr.. Barnes himself became
alarmed at Everly's prolonged absence,
and he was about to make some search
when loud shout arrested their atten-
tion. It came from the direction of the
dam, and Mr.. Barnes realized at once
that Everly, instead OF following the
bundle which had just been thrown
over, had gone under the dam in search
of the original one. A few moments
later he was seen emerging from among
the timbers which supported the dam,
presenting very wretched and bedrag-
gled appearance. He held large bun
die in his hands ana exclaimed as he
came toward them:
'.God bless you, Mr. Barnes, you
were right. AS soon as I saw your bun
die catch I could not wait, but taking
off my coat I went under the dam and
searched fer what we we're after. What
is more, found it not ten feet the 9TH
er side of where yours would have fall

"You have done we'll, and if this is
really the bundle that Marvel threw
over you have repaid your debt to him
and saved his life "
Virginia and Everly were anxious to
open the bundle at once, but the detect

should reach home.

" is all wet" So they were guided
BY him and returned to the farm, where
the detective insisted on change Of
garments foz Everly before he would
examine the bundle. When itwas OPEN
ed, Virginia claimed that she recognized
the clothes as those worn by Marvel ON
the night of the murder. Mr.. Barnes
next searched the pockets of the vest,
which Marvel had designated as the
garment wherein he had placed the
medallion, and withdrawing his hand
laid before the delighted gaze OF the
others lccket, the exact counterpart
of the one found in the hand Of the
corpse.
