CHIEF ARTHUR CALLED.
Asked to Participate in Conference
Between Engineers Committee
and Superintendent Russell.

Grand Chief p. VI. Arthur of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
will come here today to take a hand
in the conference between the Lacka-
wanna engineers and General Super
intendent Russell. He was sent for
yesterday by the engineers committee,
but the particular purpose of the sum-
mons, like everything else connected
with the conference is kept secret.
Neither the company officials nor
the engineers committee will give any
information regarding the conference,
not even an intimation as to whether
or not it is likely to end today or con-
tinue indefinitely.
The probabilities are that the session
will last throughout today and tomor-
row at least. There is a possibility
that Grand Chief Arthur is being call
ed in for the mere purpose of ratifying
the action of the committee, but among
the railroad men on the outside the
talk is that there has been o hitch and
the committee is summoning assls-
tance to have it Strengthened out.

ARE IN GREAT DEMAND.
Lots in West Park Selling Even
Better Than Anticipated.

The remarkably activity Of the real
estate market in North Main avenue
and other West Park lots since they
were placed IN the market only n cOu-
pie weeks ago is the subject Of dis
cussion i'm the city generally. But more
particularly Is this the case among
conservative real estate men, many
Of whom had formed the opinion that
the days when quick sales could he
made upon the opening of tract OF
land in Scranton had passed by such
theories have vanished into thin air
by the most practical demonstration
of their error.
Since the opening of West Park the
offices Of G. F. Reynolds in the Con-
nell building and of Charles Schlager,
in the Traders Bank building who are
part proprletors and principal sales
men OF the land have been pretty well
thronged with inquirers, who mean
business and a large number of sales
have resulted therefrom.
During the long years that the prop
erty Of the Delaware, I.ackawanna and
Western Railroad company had been
retained from the market a violent
land hunger seems to have been Great
tu dIlbllS lIt ptbllt VI 1hN " 80
Nov that there is an opportunity 10
appease this hunger the people are
coming to the front.
1t was the policy of the West PARK
Land company at the start to plot
only a few blocks into lots and TO wait
| until these had been sold before max
| ing additional plots. So rapid nave
| been the sales that it has become ne
cessary already to plot an additional
| batch of blocks.
1t is not surprising after all that
| West Park should come at once into
popularity. Situated high and dry up
on the hillside it is admirably adapt
| ed for the building of pleasant homes
and the prices are moderate.
We have not space in this article to
| tell the merits of West Park but take
pleasure in referring all persons whose
| interest has been aroused by the West
| Park land plot to call for further par
| ticulars upon Charles Schlager at the
| Traders Bank building or g. +. Key
nolds at the Connell building.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Two Women Said TO Have Placed
Something Resembling Body OF
an Infant IN River.

A very mysterious case which has
on the surface every indication of in
fanticide, or at least an attempt TO
conceal an infanticide, was brought
to the notice of and investigated by
County Detective Leyshon yesterday
afternoon.
The story as told Mr. Leyshon by
Gertie Ash and Jessie Watt, two young
girls who witnessed the affair, is given
below.
They were sitting on a bank over
looking the Lackawanna river near
Rendham when they saw three women,
one old, and the other two young,
approach from the east bank. The
spot is always deserted in the day
time and the girls could not be seen.
The women were all bare-footed and
they waded out into the middle of
the stream. One of the younger ones
unToled shawl which she was carry
ing and took out a parcel and placed
it in the water. One of the girls
who was watching positively AYERS
that she heard a slight cry as of an in
fant. The women then waded down
the stream a short way and got out
on the opposite bank, making off in the
direction of Mnooka.
The action of the women was also
watched by several young men and
one of these notified II. F. Hartman
Of Jackson street, this city, who in
turn notified Detective Leyshon.
Strange to say, no one entered the
water in search of what the women
had placed there. When Mr.. Leyshor
arrived on the scene the river was
thoroughly gone over for a distance OF
$50 feet on both sides of the spot
pointed out by the witnesses, but moth
ing could be found. The water al
this point averages only about two feet
In depth and as the current is MOI
swift, Mr.. Leyshon is very much my.
stitied as to how the parcel could float
very far away.
a more thorough search will be mad,
| this morning, but it will probably b,
! unsuccessful, as the rain of last nigh
| swelled the stream considerably. TIL,
| county detective is firmly convinced
that there is something criminal be
| hind the affair and is making grea
| efforts to run the matter down.
| All of the witnesses say that the,
| could recognize the women again an,
all agree that they We're strangers il
the neighborhood
