north side extension is progressing
merrily and the city engineer, and his
force.of forty men are placing the pipes
underground as fast as the San An
tonic factory can turn them out and
chip them here by the car load
Already three thousand feet of pipe
has been laid with eleven thousand yet
to be put down.
The workmeu are now laying pipe
on Austin street at the int-rs ection of
Myrtle and the operations are extend
ing nOrthwsrd. From the SPOT where
pipe Is now being laid to she river the
work Is complete with the exception
that q section below the canal has not
been laid. This space will be closed
With sewer pipe as soon as the Is and
Is inch pipe arrives.
The pipe is shipped to this city as
fast as IL Is turned out ard the city
enpi eer places IL in position as it
arrives. The large pipe be Or gs near
the mouth OF the sewers and the small
lsr toward the upper end, far up the
bill.
The new extension, as staked out,
starts at the intersection OF an al ey
and Franklin street. 1t runs eastward to
Ans in, then south along Austin through
the Cotton addition to the intersection
Of Austin and San Antonio. thence
esstwardly down San Antonio street
to the river. The pipe now laid will
drain all OF that locality north of
Franklin street and west Of Austin.
The pipe being used is IL, Is. Is and
24-inch.
Major Wimberly saws he does not
expect to spend the full sum of $4,000,
which wss derived from the bond sale,
on the main line, but con'empla ties
using up the balance of the money
after the extension has been made, on
laterals and other much needed i'm
provemeuts.
The pipe, says Major Wimberly. is
coming slow from San Antonio ard it
Is likely to be several days before an

anticipates no delay OF the work by

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

A new proposition of interest to the
suggested. 1t will come UP at the next
annual session of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. which will be held in
Kansas City in December. If the
plan can be worked successfully all
boycotts now in force against corpora
tions and firms will be declared off and
a general fight made to increase the
sales of articles bearing union labels.
A member Of the American Federation,
in speaking of the subject, said: such
a proposition will meet with great OPP
position; nevertheless, something
should be done to enliven the labor
movement and extend the sale Of
union-made goods Not one boycott in
so is successful, because of the apathy
of the workingmen themselves, as only
those directly interested in a particu-
lar grievance withdraw their trade
from the offending employer. Thou
sands Of dollars are expended weekly
in the advertising of boycotts. This
money would bring greater returns IL
used TO extend the sale of articles
manufactured by organized labor. If
the labor organizations of the country
would pass a law providing for a IS
fine, or even higher, on every member
convicted Of purchasing non-union
made goods when he could buy union
made, it would prove a greater boycott
than any that could be declared under

Today twenty-four more patients
were sent to Philadelphia and by next
week it is expected that there will be
few serious cases in camp. The good
work of the Red Cross people will soon
be at an end. Preparations are now
being made for the abandonment OF
this branch of the hospitals and the
Red Cross forces will return to Phil
adelphia in ten days. Colonel Girard
notified the society this morning that
with the departure of the troops south
the Red Cross hospital will be aban-
doned. He will employ the most COM
petent female nurses sent here by the
society to take charge of the wards
of the hospitals in the proposed south
ern camps. They will be assisted by
the reserve ambulance company, which
is being recruited to 800.
Divisions quartermasters stations
have been established at these camps
and all supplies are being sent there.
AS fast as it can be gotten ready, sur
plus tents and other equipments at
Camp Meade are being sent south.
Sixteen Sibley conical tents are to
be issued to each company at Camp
Meade, with six men in n tent. Each
tent will be provided with an oil stove.
The Pennsylvania troops have been
furnished with winter equipment. Four
corporals of Company l and one in
Company c. Eighth regiment, have
been reduced to the ranks for over
staying their furloughs.

HIGH SCHOOL COURSE.
Opening of Diagram Postponed
Until Monday.

Owing to the inclement weather of
yesterday, the canvassers who were to
deliver the tickets to subscribers to
high school entertainment and lecture
course could not make much progress.
1t has been found necessary, therefore,
to postpone the opening of the diagram
from Monday morning until Wednes-
day morning at o'clock. This is done
entirely in justice to those who, by
their subscriptions, made this course
possible.
To those who have not yet subscribed
the committee request us to say that
they can obtain tickets at Powell's or
the high school, or by notifying the
committee. Any high school pupil
will take your order for tickets. The
tickets are going fast and by Thurs
day at least 700 season tickets will be
sold. This will leave 300 desirable
seats, as the seating capacity of the
auditorium is 1000.
One thing needs to be emphasized
here and that is the fact that all pupils
in any school Of Scranton can get the
season ticket for rs cents.
The prices for such exceptionally fine
numbers are so exceedingly low that,
1t Is safe to say, the Scranton public
will never again have like opportun-
ity. When our people think about this
a little they will realize that they
cannot afford to miss the opportunity
offered them.
The course is purely educational It
Is offered at cost price and is, there
fore. not money making scheme. And
it Is only because the board of control,
desiring to give the scholars and their
friends an educational treat. have
granted the use of the magnificent high
school. that this, one OF the best and
by far the cheapest course ever Of
fered here, can take place. -

night at the First division hospital of
typhoid fever. Deceased lived in

years of age. He Joined the regiment

this evening and will arrive in Scran-
ton tomorrow morning. Corporal

The Thirteenth regiment is now on
the eve of wholesale changes in the
personnel of the staff and line officers
on account Of the appointment made
by Governor Hastings due to the re-
signation of Lieutenant Colonel Mates.
The governor has informed Colonel
Coursen of the following promotions:
Major F. w. Stillwell, of the First bat
talon, to be lieutenant COLONEL E. d.
Fellows, of Company f, to succeed
Major Stfllwell; First Lieutenant Har-
rry p. Decker, to be captain of Com
pany f; Second Lieutenant David j.
tant, to be first lieutenant OF +; and
First Sergeant William S. Freeman to
succeed Second Lieutenant Davis.
These promotions, though, with the ex-
ception of Major Stillwelrs case, all
take place in one company and will
produce some radical changes in the
order of seniority among the different
company commanders of the regiment.
PREPARING FOR TRIP.
There is little else talked of now
in camp besides the contemplated trip
to Philadelphia next week. and to the
result and effect to be then produced
all things are at present directed. The
battalion drills for the past few after
moons have chiefly consisted of prac-
tice in marching in company front
which will be principally used on ac-
count of the fine, wide streets of the
Quaker City. The Eighth Pennsylvania
has been having battalion drills to the
accompaniment of the band, so as to
accustom the men to not only march
at the regulation rate of one hundred
and twenty steps to the minute, but
also to sustain that cadence for any
length Of time, and over any kind of
ground. This afternoon the battalion
drills Of the Thirteenth were enlivened
