Hallstead for President.

1t is reported that William F. Hall
stead of Scranton will probably be
elected President of the d. l.. x w.
r. R. Co., next month, on the retire
ment of Samuel Sloan who declines a
re election.
Few railroad men have been more
successful than General Manager
William F. Hallstead, of the Delaware
Lackawanna & Western Railroad. His
first engagement on the road was
in 1881, at the time the line was ex-
tended from Scranton to Great Bend.
A stalwart lad of 16, he drove team,
labored with the pick and shovel.
For about year the young farmer
boy worked with the construction gang
on the road, and when it was finished
had no difficulty in securing employ
ment as brakeman. He made his
first run on a gravel train, but was
soon promoted to the position of con-
ductor. A little later he was placed
in charge of a passenger train. ne
served in this capacity but a few
months when he was again promoted
to the position of yard dispatcher at
Scranton. In the year of 1856 Mr..
Halstead was appointed assistant
superintendent of the road, and in
1886 was advanced to tine position OF
Superintendent of the Northern Divl-
sion, extending from Binghamton to
the junction known as the ''maln line,
with headquarters at Scranton. Soon
after this his already burdensome
duties were further increased by hls
being placed in charge Of the Syracuse
& Binghamton line, making in all 22s
miles of railway all under his persona
supervision. In 1885 Superintendent
Hallstead was made general manage
of the entire Delaware, Lackawann;
& Western Railroad.
His untirlng efforts have made TIT
Delaware, Lackawanna & Westerr
one of the best managed, safest ant
most prosperous roads in the country
He has watched it increasingly in it
growth from single-tracked short lin
of insignificant Dimensions, to mag
nifcent system with double-tracke
main line extending from New Yor
to Buffalo, and ramihcations polntln
in almost every direction through rlc
coal fields and prosperous iarmln
country.

In MemOriam.

The following resolutions have been
adopted by the Epworth League, of
the Methodist church Of Audubon:
Henceforth we will fail to meet
with the kind and genial brother Ru-
ben Harper, who for so long met with
and enjoyed to the fullest extent the
exercises of the League; who, when
now called, makes no answer, and
against whose name is marked, "call-
ed to answer to the Great Master as to
his stewardship" May we all like
him perform our Christian duties, so
that when called from this life to the
life everlasting, we may receive the
plaudit "well and faithfully done. y
His motto through life was:
:" live for those who love me,
For those who know me true;
For the heaven that shines above me
And waits my coming too.
For the right that needs assistance
For the wrong that needs resistance;
For the good that can do
Although poor health had enfeebled
his physical frame, he was faithful
and Jealous and when possible, he at
tended the meetings of the League,
and his attachment to the society and
its principles seemed to increase in
stead Of diminish. We feel assured
that he died full of faith and that it is
well with our brother. y
ResolFed, By the Epworth League
of Audubon, that we fell an irrepara-
BILE loss in the death of our Brother
Ruben Harper and extend to his father
and mother our deep-felt sympathy in
their loss.
Resolred, That copy of the
above resolutions Sc sent to the family,
published in the county papers and
placed on the minutes of the Epworth
League. HARRIET BILHARz,
President of Epworth League

entertained at dietary" luncheon,
served at Lewis Institute. Each re.

cream, sponge cake and chocolate.
When reduced to the mathematical
terms of Professor w. o. Atwater's

are shown to be nine-tenths of AN
