FLAG-RAISING.

Still another flag was raised in West
Scranton, being unfurled last evening
at the residence of II. w. Smith 526

though similar in most respects to
other flag raisings, was different, in
asmuch as it was raised to mark the
cessation of hostilities.
The pole, 65 feet in length was erect
ed in the center of the spacious lawn
of the residence and on its top was
placed a bronze image of a dove, from
whose beak floated two long streamers
of white ribbon. emblematic of Peace
The flag is 10x15 in size.

TROUBLES ARE OVER.

The troubles OF the Scranton Street
Hallway company since the COM
mencement Of operations for laying
double tracks on South Main avenue,
between Jackson and Washburn
streets, have been numerous and much
like "Banquo's ghost" will not down.
A new difficulty which arose a few
days ago was amicably settled yester-
day morning.
General Manager silliman, City En-
gineer Phillips and Street Commission
er O'Boyle met on the ground yester-
day morning, and after considerable
manoeuvering, a settlement was reach
ed and the street commissioners edict
prohibiting further finishing touches
became void. The original trouble arose
from the fact that the Street Railway
company were going to put in stretch
of Belgian block alongside the outer
edge of the rails next the asphalt pave.
They would then fill in the open few
inches with asphalt. No uniformity of
grade would then exist and beside it
would be unsishtly in appearance.
Property owners abutting on that part
of the thoroughfare objected and their
objection was sustained by Street
Commissioner OBoyle. No Belgian
blocks will be placed. The asphalt will
run to the rails edge, and 1t will be
difficult to discern between old and
new asphalt so far as uniform grade
from curb to rail is concerned.
Unless care is taken by horsemen,
there will be another complaint as the
tar surface which is being spread over
the brick pave glaZes and becomes
very slippery despite the dirt thrown
upon it by the company wcrkmen.
Care should be exercised in crossing
the tracks until the smooth surface is
worn by traffic.
