The Street Car Strike.

The streets of this city seemed lone
tome yesterday despite the large holi-
lay crowds out. There was a some-
thing lacking-the sound of the whirr-
ng gong of the trolley car as the
motorman jumped up and down on it
in Il frenzied dance, the whackity-
whack of the fiat wheel as it kerslap-
ped against the rail, the shiver and
rattle of the window frames aS the
cars bumped along, and the sight Of
the jaundiced yellow body of the Car
bale cars and the intlamed hue of the
scranton ones. Not wheel turnad
or slid in this city Yesterday on the
street car lines. Persons living at re-
mote ends of the town had to trust to
more primitive means to get at the
centre of the shopping district. The
sympathy of the merchants and citi-
Zens here seems to be unanimously
one sided, and as this is one of the
strongest of union towns, it is certain
ly so in this case. Many regret that
tho strike occurred the day before
Christmas. for it not only hurt the
holiday trade some, but perhaps de-
prived of Il little Christmas money
which it is customary to give these
faithful men on the eve of this holi"
day. But on all sides is heard the
wish that the men will emerge trium-
phant from their struggle.

The Holiday Trade.

The business done in Carbondale
stores in connection with the Christ
mas holidays has been very good. At
many of the stores yesterday the
stocks had run very low before even
ing. especially in the jewellery stores,
which seemed to be doing the bulk Of
the business. At the three principal
jewelry stores in town silverware in
toilet sets, manicure sets, fancy pins
and novelties seemed to have the call.
and they were depleted of their assort-
ments early in the day. Next to them
the clOthiers were the busiest people in
town. The streets We're filled with
shoppers in the afternoon and early
evening, but after o'clock the great
mass had gone home to prepare for
the coming Of Santa Claus.
