reached the conclusion that they were
mistaken in this conclusion and that by

port Of this idea that the postscrip TO General

Two alleged crooks and a suspected
companion were arrested in Wilkes
barre, charged with larceny and collect
ing money under false pretense. The
three men gave their names as Fred V.
LaVine, Frederick Warren and 4. II.
Maier A number of common blank
receipt books were found in their pos
session and from the appearance of the
books it is supposed they have been
doing prosperous business.
The men have evidently been at work
for some time. Their business was So
Letting subscriptions for the Ladies'
Home Journal and New York papers
Not being satisfied with the amount of
money to be gained in this way, it is
claimed they appropriated what ad-
dtonal sums they could secure. This
resulted in their arrest. One of them,
it Is charged, took $40 from house to
get it changed and did not return.

New York and Boston capitalists are
negotiating with the owners of thf
Scranton Railway Company. 1t is re.
ported that they are In fair way to sue
ceed, if they have not already done so.
These same men have purchased the
Wilkesbarre and Wyoming Valley
Traction Company at $4l share, the
par value being 500 per share. The
latter deal was closed in Philadelphia
last week. The new owners will take
possession of the lines of that company
at once.
II they succeed in getting possession
of the Scranton Railway Company's
lines it will give them the right Of way
from Carbondale to Nanticoke and 145
miles of street car lines.
The trolley trust is also endeavorng
to secure control Of the Schuylkill Elec-
trio Railway and the Lehigh Traction
Company.
