TELEPHONE COMBINE.
Evidence That One Has Been Effect
ed Between the Two New Com
panies-An Understanding
Partially Admitted

An understanding has been arrived
at between the two new telephone COM
panies by which the Lackawanna is
to hold off until such time as the
Scranton has had its inning In coun-
ellis.
If the Scranton company is success
full in securing a franchise the LacSa-
wanna, which is affiliated with the Peo-
pies company of Wilkes Barre, will
join with the Scranton in perfecting
a service between the two cities.
Should the Scranton fail to secure a
franchise, the Lackawanna will make
another effort to run the gauntlet of
councils.
When seen yesterday, S. E. Wayland,
manager of the Lackawanna, while
not directly admitting that there was
any specific understanding between the
rival new companies, verified the re-
port that his company would not go
into councils while the Scranton COM
pany's ordinance was under way and
further stated that his company would
hold entirely aloof from the fight that
will be preciptated with the Central
Pennsylvania company by the intro
duction of the Scranton ordinance.
1t is very reasonable to give credence
to the report that the two new COM
panies have a very explicit under
standing;" that, in fact amounts to a
combination. The LaCkawanna COM
pany has been twice defeated in its
efforts to secure a franchise and there
is no good reason to suppose-to put
it diplomatically-that, when the last
defeat was effected, the cause to that
effect was caused with the idea of
| permanent effect.
This being the case, their only hope
| of securing connections in this city is
! through the Scranton company. 1t
is necessary to the perpetuation of
their Wilkes Barre company that they
secure Scranton connections. That they
will not stand in the way of the next
best thing to securing a franchise for
themselves is a safe conjecture, to say
the least

RECEPTION TO BISHOP POTTER.

Bishop Potter, OF New York, who is
TO conduct the services in connection
with the dedication of st. Stephens
church, was rendered reception at the
parish building last evening.
Somewhat of a stir was created dur
ing the forenoon by the appearance Of
a deputy sheriff with an injunction
directed to Bishop Talbot restraining
him from severing the pastoral rela-
tions of Rev. l. n. W. Irvine, of Hunt
ingdon, Pa, rector Of st. Johns church.
The bishop had served notice upon
Rev. Mr.. Irvine that his pastoral re-
lations were to be severed. Rev. Mr..
Irvine claimed that this contemplated
action on the bishops part is contrary
to the canons, no request for sever
ance of his pastoral relations having
been transmitted from the vestry of his
church.

"BY RIGHTS"

There are many words and phrases
