was greatly appreciated by the mem
bers OF the fair sex present.

till after l o'clock. There were a num-
bcr of out-of-town guests.

The Delaware, Iackawanna and
Western railroad company has a plan
in view whereby the side tracks on the
RioomsbIrg division extending from the
Scranton street crossing to the Luzerne
street culvert will be utilized for maxi
ing up trains. which will relieve the
corgested condition Of the Lackawanna
yards.
It is proposed to work into service all
the empty cars which have been side
tracked at that point for So many
years. and use them in supplying the
demands for coal which is continually
increasing. At present the trains for
the northern and southern division are
made up in the yard opposite the main
passenger station, but under the new
system all cars scheduled for either the
| Bloomsburg, New York or Buffalo di-
visions will he transferred on the west
side Y
The erection of the transfer freight
station west of the stone bridge. will
1 also facilitate matters i'm the way Of
relieving the crowded condition of the
main freight depot. The building is
| nearing completion and it is expected
that the trasfer freight can be handled
| at that point by the first of November
Another plan in operation, which has
| proven advantageous to rapid transit
! is the transfer of loaded cars of coal
! from the collieries in the Keyser Valley
! district TO the northern division by way
/ of the junction at the Notch. Instead
! of hauling the loaded trips into the
main yard the cars arc run up to the
junction on the KcySer Valley branch
and shipped through to the western
market without being transferred by
way of the central city. Coal from
down the valley is transferred by the
Holden switch TO the Keysor Valley
branch and does not have to pass
through the yards here.
. The increased demand for coal has
made necessary many changes in the
! haulage system and today several hum
dred cars more of coal are being
shipped daily than was the case under
the old regime. The new officials real
i%e that the facilities at hand will en-
/ able thm to compete with the other
/ companies. both as regards freight
and passenger traffic, and that they
can supply anthracite coal as cheap as
/ any of the competing companies and
! they are making 2 strong bid for the
/ business.
The increase in the passenger traffic
and freight business over the Lacka
wanna system is sufficient evidence
that their efforts along that line are
meeting with success. The conference
of officials tomorrow relative to new
time schedule and possible increase
in the number OF trains will undoubt,-
edly prove of much Importance to pat
rons of the road.

Gillespie Seeks New Trial.

On petition of Attorneys Taylor and
Lewis, court yesterday granted a rule
for a new trial in the case of the CON-
monwealth against Anthony f. Gill
lespie. the Olyphant councilman con-
Nicted last week OF perjury.
Most of the reasons for the new trial
are alleged errors on the part of the
trial Judge in his charge to the Jury.
IT is contended court erred in stating
to the jury that Mr.. OMalley. counsel
for the defendant in the civil proceed
ings stated that they the defendants
and others mentioned I'm the base ball
association agreemenD were partners:
In charging that the defendant was not
advised in regard to the affidavit Of de-
fence upon which n conviction of per-
Jury was had in above case: in not
finding that the verdict of a jury Is not
q final judgment; in declaring that
Judge Knapp had stated that the de-
fendant had sworn to the affidavit up
on which the charge of perjury is
founded; in not charging that an oath
made under advice of counsel can not
be willful and corrupt perjury: in not
charging that where the only evidence
of perjury Is founded on the testimony
OF an officer, before whom an oath is
taken, the only knowledge of such oath
in such witness is his signature as
such officer and his seal in attestation
thereto, is insufficient to warrant a con-
viction for perjury; in charging that
when person swears in n careless or
reckless manner such swearing
amounts to willful and corrupt per,
jury.
Other reasons were that the verdict
was against the weight cf the evidence;
that the conviction was founded on
the testimony of one witness on an af-
fidavit ir civil proceedings not prose-
cuted to final Judgment.
The rule was made returnahle at the
next term of argument court.
