posted himself at the rear door, armed
with a heavy potato masher.

trousers. and bearing a dinner pail in
his hand, hoped over the side fence,
concealed himself in the coal shed, and.
after becoming satisfied that the coast
was clear, tip-toed his way up the
porch and seized a bottle of milk.
Mr.. Atherton's plan of attack con-
templated a sudden throwing open of
the door. grabbing of the thief and
u welding of the potato masher.
But it went aglee. Mr.. Milk-thief
ducked neatly. jumped from the porch
Atherton had to content himself with
throwing the potato masher after the
fugitive. Mr.. Atherton did not recog
nize the man, but would know him
again if he saw him.

Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company, arrived here last
evening at 7.05 o'clock on the tour of
inspection of the company's property
which he entered upon last Tuesday
morning.
His arrival here was one day ahead
of schedule time. on Tuesday he went
direct from New York to Buffalo. re-
naming there over night and coming
back as far as Binghamton on We'd
nesday, spending the entire day in
looking over the western division.
Yesterday was to have been spent in
a trip over the N.ica division and to-
day was to be given up to the Oswego
division, but he covered them both in
one day by going out one line and COM
ing back on the other, spanning the
termini, by using the New York Cen
tral tracks from Oswego to Utica.
This morning he Will inspect the
Bloomsbury division, leaving for North
cumberland at $50 o'clock. When
northumberland is reached the new

excepting the Richheld Springs branch,
which was given the go-by for the
present.

specting party in the evening.
Only few station hands were about

panied by Colonel Hallstead to his
fathers private carriage, which was
waiting to take him to the Jermyn.
General Manager Hallstead walked on
ahead to his home.
Mr. Truesdale very graCiously ac-
corded Tribune man an interview
before leaving the station to so 10 the
hotel.
When asked to verify the story Of
the billion dollar combine sent out from
New York to Wednesdays papers, he
laughed somewhat derisiVely and re-
marked: "rhe story is not true. Nine
ty-nlne per cent, of it is pure moon
shine"
To question as to whether or not he
had in mind any plans affecting Scran-
ton, Mr. Truesdale stated that he was
| not prepared as yet to speak on that
subject; he would first prefer to look
over the ground here and form per-
sonal observation and acquaint himself
| with the condition. He said he ex-
poets to spend this afternoon looking
| over the shops.
| IT'S A FINE ROAD.
When asked what was the general
| impression of the Lackawanna he had
gained from his survey SO far, he an
sWered, with a good deal of emphasis:
ITS a fine road. 1t certainly is a
| fine road"
Mr.. Truesdale is a tall well built
| man Of middle age, has brown hair
! and mustache being only slightly
streaked with gray. He has pleasant
strong features and anywhere would

TO CARE FOR THE PARKS.
MI. Keller Would Seize Upon the
Ward Appropriations.

At tonight's meeting of the estimates
committee. Chairman Keller will make
a proposition to take rs per cent. OF
the aggregate ward appropriations and
transfer it to the Improvement of parks.
This would mean an additional $4,000
for the parks, or a total of Sl6,400.
1t is feared that even if the estimates
committee should adopt Mr.. Keller's
idea there would be some slight oppO-
stion to it when the matter comes be-
fore councils.
