The Scranton Telephone company is
by no means a myth. Neither is 1t a
stool pigeon for the Bell company, nor
a speculative concern. This much is
on the authority of Dr. John l.. WentZ,
who contemplates taking large finan-
cial interest i'm the company II 1t Is
given the opportunity OF becoming es-
tablished here.
To a Tribune reporter DR.. Wentz
stated that the company Is headed by
prominent New Jersey capitalists and
that one of them. William c. Hend-
rickson, of Somerville. N. J.,well known
in the business world as an extensive
pottery manufacturer. will come here
this evening or tomorrow to forward
the work of securing a franchise and
completing the organization of the com
pany.
DR.. Wentz, Joseph Jermyn and J. y.
Mears are mentioned as prospective
members of the company. Mr. Hen
erickson in his correspondence with
these gentlemen stated that he can
| bring with him from New Jersey all
the capital that is required, but pre-
fers to have the company composed in
the main and in good part of loca'
! investors.

TO SEND OUT LETTER. S

Today this company will send out a
letter to prospective subscribers, set
ting forth what its ordinance promises
and requesting cooperation in secur-
ing the granting of the franchise. In
this circular the claim is made that
there are even now S74 subscribers on
the Lackawanna company's books. in
the business portion of Scranton alone.
The Central Pennsylvania company
is by no means idle with this double
competition threatening it. One of the
several arguments it is using is that
these new companies have no outsi lie
connections and can at the best give
only local service. This being the
case, the entry of a new company would
only mean an additional phone in
every business place that makes ex-
tcnsIVe use OF a phone. In Altoona,
where the Central Pennsylvania COM
pany has strong competition, the busi-
ness people have been compelled to
subscribe to the service of both COM
panies

Dear Editor-Since my last. but few
items of interest have occurred.
1t has been raining continuously for
the last week, many of the corn crops
washed up and will have to be planted
over again, which will make them very
late. Big Creek has been very full;
Black River has been out of it's banks
all week and cannot be forded yet.
On last Thursday evening a little
1S-months-old child of Wiley Roberts
and wife was drowned in branch near
Ruble & Sutton's saw mill. The little
fellow was missing and a search was
dead. He either tried to play in the
water or he was trying to go to the
mill where his father was at work.
W. Z. Edgar was down here one day
last week to prosecute one of our citi-
zens for correcting his wife in rather
a rough manner. The case was tried
before Esq. McGlothlin and ended in a
verdict of 60 days in the county Jail.

A negro man came into our pump
house this morning with badly cut
head and told hard story for the peo-
pie here to believe. He claimed to
have been riding on top of a passenger
train and fell, while asleep, which
surely would have killed him instant
ly. and he is not hurt any where ex-
cept scalp wound about 8 inches in
length-a clean, nice cut, no bruises
or contusions of any kind on him or
his clothes, except his hat that had
the same clean cut of his head. We
may find out more about this In the
future.
Some bright genus, with a talent for
mischief, invented and started a story
few days ago that there ware no pos
tage stamps to be had at this post-of-
fee. Upon inquiry we find that the
present stock of 2-cent stamps is 5000,
and other denominations in proportion,
and that the supply has never been
below 1000 2-cent stamps at any time
since August 1st, 1898, when the pres
ent postmaster took charge.
