HORSELESS CARRIAGES
FOR MONROE COUNTY
Scheme of stroudsburg Capitalists to
Construct n Bicycle Path and Run
Conveyances Over the Old Delaware
Valley Electric RaiIway Roadbed.

Stroudsburg, Sept. S.-Horseless car
riages are soon to be introduced into
Monroe county by a company Of local
capitalists, who will also construct a
bicycle path from East Stroudsburg to
Bushkill A Times man learned today
that a scheme of no mean Importance
to the eastern end of this county is
now under consideration with every
prospect of it's coming to a successful
issue. What the scheme is Will be
learned in the following paragraphs:
A party of Bushkill residents finding
there is little prospects of railroad
ever being built between East Strouds-
burg and Bushkill, conceived a plan to
bring several horseless carriages to
this county and operating them be-
tween the borough and Pike county.
The gentlemen who are to form the
company are Edwin Peters, Harry
Peters ]. S. Schoonover and DIR. Beers,
all of Bushkill Messrs. Lederer and
Strauss, the former owner of Forest
Park hotel, and the latter owner of the
Stevens House, New York, and an ar
tist of worldwide repute, Mr.. Harry
Herzog, of Philadelphia. They have
plenty of money back of them and will
spend it literally to push their ideas to
successful issue.
The company proposes to secure the
old road bed of the Delaware Valley
Electric railway, which is graded with
in three miles of Bushkill, construct a
bicycle path on the same and also to
put into operation a number of horse
less carriages, to hold parties of six,
eight and ten, and run them between
East Stroudsburg and Bushkill and
later to Port Jervis. Messrs. Lederer
and Strauss are now in communica-
ton with horseless carriage builders
and committee has been appointed to
negotiate for the old road bed. This
company expect the carriages to make
the trip in about a half hour.
In regard to the bicycle path, which
is in itself a great scheme. a small toll
will be charged. This ought to pay at
the outset considering the thousands
of bicyclists that pass up and down
during the spring summer and autumn.

317 LackaWanna Ave.
Welded AT MONTR0SE.
Harry Wilbur Beach and Miss
jeanette Ayers Taylor Are United.
Pretty Home Wedding.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Nontrose, Pa. Sept. SIT was short
" after o'clock this afternoon when
Harry Wilbur Beach and jeanette
Ayars TAYLOR were united in marriage
by the Reverend Doctor A. l.. Benton.
The last strains of the wedding march
reverberated in harmony among the
lavish verdancy and mingled floral
decorations, and they plighted then and
there their marriage vows.
It was a quiet home wedding and the
bride and bridegroom stood in the rear
parlor underneath twininE ground pine
draped from the walls to the apex IN
the center of the ceiling, from which
hung a wedding bell of green inter-
mingled with white asters. In the
wedding party were Misses Carrie NC
Causland, Charlotte Warner and Mayme
TAYLOR, a sister of the bride, of Mont
rose; Grace Dewitt, of Pittsburg; Bes-
sic Ayars, of Wilhes-B Barre, and Mar
garet Montgomery, of McEWensVllle,
Pa The bridesmaids wore exceedingly
pretty gowns of Organdie, two being OF
a pink hue, two others light green,
while the remaining twain were in
pure white.
The bridesmaids and ushers, Messrs.
Sidney ]. Jenckes, Norman Stewart,
Robert l.. Beebe and Harry e. Cooley,
formed the background for the prin-
cipals of this happy event.
The brides gown was of white or
candle, over white taffeta silk, relieved
with bows of white ribbon, and chiffon
and trimmed with valiencennes lace.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. James p.
Taylor, on South Main street, is an
ideal one, and with the augmented
splendor of golden rod, sweet peas, as
ters, palms and ferns, which were
banked on every side, and the door
ways and stairways wound with ropes
of evergreen, it was indeed a bower
After the ceremony Fordam served
refreshments to the guests, who were
but few in number, the relatives and
immediate friends of the family only
being numbered among the wedding
guests.
Miss Taylor is a daughter of Mr..
James p. Taylor, one of the owners and
editors of the Montrose Independent
Republican. Mr.. Beach is the only son
of Henry L. Beach, president of the
First National bank, and pOssessor of
other business interests both in Mont
rose and abroad.

all that constitutes a model wedding.
After Sept. "a they will be at home

THE MARKETS..


New York, Sept. s.-Todays stock mar
ket was very irregular but 1t was much
less under manipulation than for over a
week past and the general tone was one
of strength. There was realizing on a
large scale all day, but the offerings for
this purpose were more notably absorbed.
There was no one stock lifted by sensa-
tional jumps to stimulate buying of these
realizing offerings, a condition in marked
contrast to the invariable rule for many
days past. The course of the market
was downward at the opening, the In
ternationals and Changers leading, in
sympathy with the declines in Ameri-
cans on the London exchange. Strength
developed in a number of stocks which
stemmed the decline and carried prices
to the best of the day. Proilt-taking at
the close caused the loss of part of the
gain. Total sales were 597692 shares.

EDITOR THE LIQUOR EVIL.
She is One Ofthe New Woman Kind
and Means to Reform Things.

From the Chicago Post.
"Helen"
The managing editor of the future
spoke sharply. She was evidently
angry about something.
Yes, maam," replied TIE private sec
retary, quickly responding to the sum-
mons.
Write a note to Miss Doolittle tell
ing her that we will dispense with her
services in the local room in the
future"
yes, ma'am."
"She is drinking too much" ex-
planned the managing editor. Il am
sorry for her poor father, who is a
widower and has to depend on her for
support, but l can't help it. She will
have te CO."
I'll do it at once, ma'am."
This liquor evil is becoming a very
serious matter" continued the manag-
ing editor, musingly. Il don't much
blame those poor men out in Kansas
who have been holding prayer meet
ings in the street in an attempt to
break up the saloon business. They
are taking long chances of insult,
though. It's no place for men. / don't
see what their wives are thinking of to
let them do it. Wen have to have a
good special on the subject before
long"
Meanwhile" continued the manag-
ing editor, coming down to business
again, tell Mrs. Slasher that l want
a good stiff editorial on the women who
persist in going out between the acts
to see a girl or get a Glove. It's an
insult to the gentlemen they take to
the theatre"
II have that. ma'am," said Helen,
looking up from her note book. What
else?"
Leave a note for Mr.. Prettyman
| about his society. Twice recently he
has made the mistake of referring to
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, instead of Mrs.
and Mr.. Jones, as every one knows it
ought to be. It's inexcusable."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Then tell the city editor that I want
good interview with Mrs. Margin,
the president of the board of trade, on
the slump in wheat, There ought to be
a good story in that. / understand
that the firm of Mesdames Coupon &,
Bond was badly squeezed and that
Jennie Plunger made so much that she
blew in 5000 or $500 celebrating with the
girls on the board of trade and squared
herself at home by buying her husband
| a diamond ring and a sealskn coat"
With a wave of the hand the editor
of the future dismissed her private Sec
retary and gave her attention to an
editorial on THE Absurd Claims of the
New Man"

Thanks Were Premature.

During the rebellion the 10Th Maine ac-
quired a reputation for foraging the
country so thoroughly that they were
said TO have starved the confederacy out.
One day they were sweeping along din
ing on the fat of the land as usual. An
other troop was ahead, and between
them and the 10Th rode General Hancock.
AS the general was passing one planta-
tion the proprietor came out and hailed
his party.
General" said he, 81 want some sort
of safeguard. The troops that have just
gone by stole my pigs, lifted my hen
roosts and emptied my cellar"
81 am very sorry" said Hancock.
"Yes," continued the old man, "they
stole everything but my hope of immor-
tality. Thank God, none of them can
steal that"
Don't be too sure of that" retorted
the general; 1.-The 18th Maine is coming
next."-San Francisco Argonaut.

STOCKING STREAMS.

Mr.. Butler maintains that the meth
DDS used by the Pennsylvania state
hatcheries to stock the public streams
of the State with trout are faulty and
unsatisfactory. Every season millions
of fry are put into the streams and
every season comparatively meagree
results are obtained therefrom. EX-
periments recently made by Mr.. Butler
in stocking streams on North Noun
tain, near Wilkes Barre, Hickory Run,
Drifton, Saw Mill Creek, near Weiss
port and Pea Beck, N. j., have result
ed in the greatest satisfaction to the
owners. Instead of stocking them
with small fry, fish four to six inches
long We're used. Such fish are old and
strong enough to defend themselves
against their innumerable natural enc
mics.

stOp.Over Privilege al washington.

A ten day stop-over at Washington, DC,
is now granted on all through tickets be.
tween the East and West, via Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. Stop-over will also be
granted on the return journey made on
round trip tickets, within the final limit Of
such tickets, but not exceeding ten days.
Passengers will deposit their tickets with
the ticket agent at B. s. 0. railroad sta
tion in Washington, who will retain them
until the journey is to be resumed, when
they will be made good for continuous
passage to destination by extension
or exchange. This arrangement will
doubtless be greatly appreciated by the
travelling public because 1t will permit the
holders Of through tickets to make brief
visit to the National capital without addi-
tional outlay for railroad fare.
