LARGER LACKAwANNA RUNS.


Delaware, LaCkawanna and Western
officials are discussing the advisability
of running all Scranton trains through to
tdewater. when the heavy engines and
other improvements, looking to faster
time, are installed. The freights will
be delivered at Hoboken and the coal
at Secaucus, three miles this side Of
Hoboken, where the Lackawanna has
its coal distributing yard.
This will mean three divisions for Sec
ond-class trains. The first run will be
from Buffalo TO Elmira, distance of
144 miles; the second from Elmira to
Scranton, distance, 10 miles: and the
third from Scranton to Hoboken, 144
miles.
Fewer, larger and faster trains will
be the first consequence of the change.
The hetterment of the traffic service
however, is counted upon confidently
TO greatly increase the business of the
road, especially the through freight
traffic to and from the west, and in a
very short time the employees who will
he laid off by reason of the lessenine
of the crews will be taken back al
steadier and more remunerative en-
ployment.

The grand jury completed its work
Saturday, made it's final report to court
and was discharged Its recommends
tions were as follows:
To the Honorable the Judges of the Court
of Quarter Sessions of the Peace of the
County Of Lackawanna.
We, the grand jury, extend vote OF
thanks to District Attorney Jones for his
Eentlemanly and courteous treatment
during the session of the grand jury.
We recommend that aldermen and jus.
tees of the peace be more careful in
sending in transcripts, and we believe 1t
unwise to burden the county with trivial
cases.
We condemn the practice Of certain
Constables of the county in prosecuting
certain parties for selling liquor with
out license and then subpoenaing only
such witnesses as know nothing about
the case, thus making them worthy of the
Censure of the court.
We have inspected the Jail and find II
In an excellent sanitary condition. The
prisoners are looking well and are I'm nc
ways crowded. The food Is OF good quail
ity and is given in sufficient quantity
We suggest removing boys from the
woman's ward and placing them in q
ward for boys only.
Respectfully submitted,
William Edgar, Foreman.
