could today sell out with profit. In
the advance which has so many times
reached the high water mark there
seems to be actually no limit. Judging
from past history II is safe to aver that
there is scarcely a locality within the
clty's limits where one may not pur-
chase property with reasonable eXpec-
tatlons OF a sufficient Advancement to
make the venture profitable in the end.
In addition to the rapid advance of
real estate in the business centers. the
success of the suburban park schemes
has been astonishing. Handsome
dwellings have been springlng up on
these plots each year, lending value to
bleak surroundings, with a rapldity
that is seldom equalled outside OF the
tales of Aladdan and his wonderful
lamp. As consequence much capital
has been utilized In furthering the
real estate interests and many brokers
make handsome incomes for their SER
vices in the big deals that are constant
ly being effected.
Scranton is known as the city OF
homes. and those who do not own
home would do well to call at rooms
sos and 500 Mears' building, and see
the map of the Fairview Park Land
company's addition to West Scranton,
a large number Of the lots have been
sold, but there are still many desirable
lots left. The lots are good size, with
alleys in the rear. Location is high,
so there is the best of drainage. The
view is unsurpassed. The location is
hut twenty minutes walk from the
central city. with two lines of street
cars, one at each end Of the plot
The property is also within a few
minutes walk of the large steel mills
of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel
company and the silk and wooden
mills and other large manufacturing
concerns of the South Side. No restric-
tions in the deeds. Two large new
school houses and gas and water on
the plot. See advertisement in another
column.
Nina Robinson, ex-Mayor Fellows
and Horatio n. Patrick have pur-
chased fifteen acres of land about the
Colonel Tripp residence. on North Main
avenue, and are now plotting the same
into city lots. The grading of the
streets, putting in of gas, water and
sewers is being pressed as rapidly as
possible, and if the weather permits
this work will soon be completed. This
plot is high, dry, commands a grand
view OF the city, is on the line of the
electric railway, and well worthy Of
your investigation.
The opening sale will take place on
Saturday, 4th of December next. and

quaintance with the city and its people

delivery Of mail almost impossible in
ordinary instances. Few persons not
acquainted with the workings of the
office have an Idea OF the difficulties
encountered In distributing mail to a
population OF the character OF the in
habitants OF Scranton. For instance,
the city directory contains nearly
seven pages devoted to the Williams
family, and In the list there are fifty
two who answer to the name of "Will-
lam Williams" In spite OF the many
drawbacks, however, little complaint Is
heard Of mistakes or delay in delivery.

RAILROADS OF SCRANTON.
Unlimited Transportation Facilities
to All Parts OF the Compass.

To the growth of great municipal
fly like Scranton, railroad facilities
must OF necessity constitute valu-
able aid. Without proper means OF
Transportation in every line of trade 1t
is impossible for any city to make
marked progress in the development OF
the enterprises that go to make up a
thriving and prosperous locality. With
the increasing demands in this impor-
tant field OF labor the railroad enter
prises of the Middle States have kept
pace, and today Scranton is one Of the
most favorable shipping points away
from the Atlantic coast. Aside from
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, this city
10 probably the leading one in the
matter Of industrial enterprises and
probably produces a greater variety of
staple wares than any other. In re-
sponse to the demands Of trade, the
enterprise of railroad building has ex-
tended lines in almost every direction
TO and from Scranton, and the list
numbers some of the important roads
OF the world.
The Importance of the tonnage of
Scranton has not been properly recog-
nized by the great trunk lines Of the
country, but the railway facilities are
nevertheless excellent. The Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
connects II with New York and Phila-
delphia on the east, and with the west
ern cities through its Buffalo extern
sion. The Bloomsbury branch con-
meets with the Pennsylvania system at
northumberland. The Delaware and
Hudson links Scranton with the great
roads Of New York and the New Eng
land states, and also affords an outlet
south via the Lehigh Valley road. The
Erie and Wyoming connects with the
main line of the Erie at Hawley and
also forms another southern outlet to
Wilkes Barre. The line of the New
York, Susquehanna and Western is
gradually creeping towards Scranton,
and the road promises to become a
formidable rival to the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western in the near
future.
One OF the important transportation
lines Of Scranton is the Central Rail-
road OF New Jersey. 1t was among
the early roads TO come in for a share
Of the traffic which followed the era OF
prosperity which began a dozen years

ago, and has continued TO the present
time. The Jersey Central first extend
ed its lines to this city in 1885, and since
that time has enjoyed n large share of
the business that has been distributed
between the great lines that have con-
trolled the trade in years past. The
handsome station of the road which
appears in view at the western termin-
us OF the Lackawanna avenue bridge,
is among the pleasing features of in
terest that attract the eye of the vis-
itor TO the city, and ia one of the
monuments TO the prosperity Of the
town. The Lehigh Valley railroad as
yet has no station in this city, but the
interests Of the great line are ably
represented by the courteous represen-
tatives In charge of the ticket Office
on Lackawanna avenue, and at no dis
tant day II is probable that a Lehigh
Valley railroad station will be among
the features OF the city. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad, which owns lands in
the city, at present has a terminus in
| Wilkes Barre, and without doubt will
In time extend lines to this city. The
ontario and Western railroad has be-
come an important coal carrying line,
| opening up the markets of the north
west. and also does a large traffic in
summer travel
While the business Of the railroads
| leading to and from Scranton consists
| largely in coal carrying business the
| arrangements for the accommodation
| of passenger traffic are of the best.
| The fast trains to New York and Phila-
delphia and to the seashOre and moun-
tains. are equipped with the most ele-
giant rolling stock. and are provided
with all accessories for the comfort
and safety of patrons. Elegant day
and sleeping palace coaches are at
| tached to the trains and the officials
are selected from the trusty and in
