TED JONES HAS THE GRIP.
And He Rejoices Exceedingly in the
Possession Thereof.

The official grip Of the Mellon club
which was carried in the letter carriers
parade in San Francisco. Toledo and
this city is now the property of f.. p.

NJ. Bishop, of Boston, member OF the
executive committee and president of
the Mellon club.
Each year the club votes tho grip TO
some good fellow" and this year the
choice fell on Mr.. Jones, who was par
ticularly active in extending hospital
ity to the Mellon club.
The grip was carried in the Scranton
parade by Delegate Duffy Of Pittsoure
and attracted much attention, besides
arousing no end Of curiosity. 1t will
devolve on Mr.. Jones or some one OF
his choosing TO carry II in the Detroit
parade next year.
Accompanying the gift was n very
nice letter eXtolling the goodness and
greatness OF Scranton's hospitable peo'

all cattle in the state were inspected
the percentage would be very much

He stated that the percentage Of in

was extremely low. In conclusion he
spoke upon the grave and important
need of meat inspectors in all the cities

Has Been Brought on from Chi
cago by the Lackawanna.
The Binghamton Republican of yes
terday contained the following:
The president and general superin-
tendent Of the Delaware. I,ackawanna
and Western railroad have sent Cour-
teous replies to Mayor Dewitt and
General Jones, who sent protests to the
company against changing their runs
so as to necessitate the removal of
trainmen from Bnghamton. OF course
II Is pleasant to receive courteous re-
plies to sEch communications, even
though the officers of the company can
not comply with requests. There have
been complaints in the past that peti.
tions to the former managers of the
company received scant courtesy
President Truesdale assures General
Jones that the railroad company has
something good in store for Bingham
ton. but evidently he is not ready just
yet to disclose its nature. 1t may be
the viadUct and a new depot. Bing-
hamton would like such present in
it's stocking
1t Is not likely that the new Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western com
pany will purposely pursue policy to
iniure BnghamtOn. This city is neccs-
Sarily the terminus of two important
northern divisions, and they will have
to be accommodated. 1t iS not at all
likely that the company Will neglect TO
accommodate the important business
interests Of Binghamton for Bingham
ton is a competing point, and does not
have to depend upon one railroad. The
Vanderbilt management of the Central
railroad generally got along without
friction with tho many important
towns through which il passes, and
therefore Bi" ghamton may expect har-
mony with the Vanderbilt management
of the Delaware. Lackawanna ana
Western.
Several years aeo when it was al
legged that old Commodore Vanderbilt
was endeavoring to gobbhle the Eric
railway and make a freight track of II.
the Erie Classification Mill was
passed to prevent consolidation. That
law, which has never been repealed.
prohibits the officers and directors of

tions with the other. Since that act
was passed the Erie has been paralleled
by the Delaware. LaCkawanna and

does not look much like using the Erie
parallel exclusively for a freight road.
1t is believed that the Vanderbilts
are back of the plan to resuscitate the
Hudson river tunnel between Jersey
City and New York, and that advant-
age will be taken of the shorter Della
