important meeting was held in

The approximate capitalization of
the road will be $1O,OOO,OO0. The
repair shops will be located mainly
in Scranton, though smaller shops
and roundhcu uses will be located at
different points along the line.
This is the road for which several
parties of surveyors have been dur
ing the past summer locating in this
county 1t is rumored that the
route finally adopted will cross this
county, and probably pass through
this town. Those who are in posi-
tion to know say that the building
of this new line is an assured fact.

The prohibition candidate for
Congress, Geo. E. Stauffer, of East
Stroudsburg, Withdrew Oct. 13, in
favor of Hon. W. S. Kirkpatrick.
This action was taken with the con-
sent of Chairman Jones of the Pro-
hibition party and with the distinct
understanding that the Prohibition
votes should be thrown to the Re
publican candidate. 1t is thought
that this action will increase the
Swallow vote in this district.

A NEW MONUMENT.

Placing offensive or injurious sub
stances in streams, the water of
which is used by the public, is con-
trary, not only to decency, but to
the law of the land, and the often
der renders himself in so doing
liable to fine and imprisonment. A
sense of propriety should be suffi-
cient to deter any one from such
acts, but, if not, then, drastic meas
ures should be taken to correct the
evil habit.
1t is a healthy sign for townships
when Constables have the courage
to make returns of lawful matters
in them which need correction.
Such officers should be commended
by the people, for it is their inter
ests which are being protected, and
the officer is simply performing his
sworn duty in doing it.

As yet he is undecided as to what
he will do with the property, but no
doubt if it can be disposed of soon,
to cover his investment, he will
sell it. The place is perfectly adap-
