WEST SCRANTON

And "thc rich man also died" What this
man who had so much at his command, who
could buy aud brbe at his pleasure; must he
die? That is what the parable says. John
Wesley, in one Of his sermons, speaks Of rich
man in London, who when he was told by his
physician that he must die, gnashcd his teeth
and clinchcd his fist and cried out, Good, God
won't die" But he did die and died with
those very words in his mouth. "Thero is a
terrible irony here" says Dr. Spence Sin re-
gard to the rich mans burial This human
pagcantry Of woe was for the rich man what the
carrying by the angels into Abraham's bosom

TUNNEL FRANCHISE ASKED FOR.
A NEW TERMINAL COMPANY's APPLICATION
sTIRs UP THE ALDERMEN.

The application of the Long Island Terminal
Railroad Company for franchise to tunnel GER
tain streets in the city and under the East River
was brought up in the Municipal Council yesterday
and the following resolution passed:
Resolved. That. the Railroad Committee having
failed to make favorable or unfavorable report
the petition for franchise by the Long Island
Terminal Company, said committee be discharged
from further consideration thereof.
In the Board of Aldermen the resolution
laid the table until the next meeting.
AT the meeting of the Aldermen applca-
ton made for a tunnel franchise In behalf
of the Terminal Railroad and Tunnel Company.
The application presented by Alderman
John T. Mccall of Brooklyn. The line of
route given in the application starts at about the
junction of Lincoln Road and Flatbush-ave., In
Brooklyn. The tunnel would strike the East River
under the piers of the Brooklyn Bridge and come
out on the Manhattan side New Cham
bers-st, to connect with the Rapid Transit
tunnel at Centre-st. 1t is proposed to run a loop
from this junction down Park Row, through City
Hall Park, Mail-st to Park Place and Broadway.
Then down Park Place to West-st., and TO the
North River, and under it, so far as the jursdic-
ton of New-York City extends.
Alderman Murphy of Brooklyn, offered motion
discharge the Committee Railroads. This
motion opposed by Alderman Mccall at some
length. Alderman Wafer spoke against the dis
charge of the committee. He followed by
Alderman McInnes, who stated he had intended
presenting motion similar the introduced
by Alderman Murphy, and that he was heartily In
favor of the discharge of the Committee on Rail
roads.
Alderman Goodman in a heated speech said he
in favor of the tunnel because 1t would help
the Borough of Brooklyn by connecting 1t with
the Borough of Manhattan. He against the
discharge of the committed
Alderman Peter Holer of Williamsburg, moved
as a substitute that the Committee on Railroads
be instructed report in months time. Alder
man McInnes moved that 1t be one week instead or
month Alderman Bridges said he believed the
tunnel company virtually the Long Island
Railroad Company. and that the member who
introduced the resolution aware of that fact
Alderman HolleT's substitute to Alderman
Murphy's motion to discharge the committee
withdrawn in favor of Alderman McInnes's amend
ment that committee be Instructed report
at the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen.
Alderman Wafer moved that the whole be
laid on the table until the next meeting, which
was done.
Following few unimportant matters motion to
adjourn was put and carried at $3.50 o'clock.
