The number and the variety of plans
suggested whereby the Scranton Rail-
way company can avoid the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western grade cross
ing on West Lackawanna avenue and
the Delaware and Hudson and Ontario
and Western tracks on the Providence
line, would startle a person who has
not followed the recent cry against
grade crossings in general and those
mentioned in particular.
Following is n synopsis of six of the
routes and plans suggested thus far:
a new track from Providence road to
SHETLAND street west OF the Ontario
and Western tracks and via the Linden
street bridge to Franklin avenue;
structural iron viaduct from near the
foot of Mulberry street over the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western and
Delaware and Hudson tracks, the river
and Ontario and Western tracks to a
point opposite the Providence road
power house; the Ash street bridge
plan to Albright avenue; Linden
street bridge route for all West Side
and Providence lines; a route for West
Side cars from West Lackawanna ave-
nue. to Swetland street to Main avenue;
an overhead iron viaduct from Eighth
street across lots" to Robinson street
ANXIOUS FOR A CHANGE.
1t is true that the Scranton Railway
company is anxious to make a change,
but it is also true that it involves an
immense amount Of money and much
labor, whatever plan is agreed upon
with the city, and the company doesn't
care to take a leap in the dark.
Thought and investigation will require
quite a period of time, as the company
does not care to take the risk of miss
ing nickels by placing its tracks where
travel is light, nor would the public
be pleased If this was done.
City Engineer Phillips approves
the route for West side and
Providence cars over the Lin
den street bridge. The structure
was built to stand car traffic. 1t was
contemplated that if tracks were laid
upon it they would extend along the
sides near the arches and not in the
center. This would give a clear width
of nine feet for cars going in either
direction and would leave a space OF
16 feet for vehicular traffic in the mid
die of the roadway.
West Side line cars would continue
directly west and up the Swetland
street hill to the old bridge now span
ming the Delaware. Lackawann and
Western tracks. A new and wider
bridge would have to be erected at the
company's expense, as the frequently
termed bird roost" is not suitable for
heavy traffic. An adoption of this plan
would remove all but the Bellevue cars
from lower Lackawanna avenue.
The Linden street bridge route is the
only one of the six suggested which
could accommodate both Providence
and West Side traffic. The iron via
duct from the foot of Mulberry street
would be an extra expense to the com
pany and the Ash street extension and
bridge scheme would be an extra ex-
pense to the city. To carry out the
latter plan 100000 would be required
for approaches, bridge work and mas
onry alone.

PERSECUTION FOLLOWED.

A persecution of the Catholics followed,
and one of the tests of fidelity rec
commended by the Dutch was that the
neophytes be forced to trample upon the
image of the crucifed Saviour laid on
the ground before them. The marvellous
history of those times shows that not
more than three persons out of one hun
dred thousand yielded 10 the temptation
to save their lives by this horrible sac
rilege. Strange to say this very test
remains in force even to our own day,
for thirty years ago, during a local Ter-
