Laekawanna Milk Train Smashes
q Gondola-Co Considerable Damage
to Property from Heavy Rains.
pulp Mill Closed.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, March "A serious
wreck occurred last evening on the
Delaware, Lackawanra and Western
railroad near the residence Of ex-Rep-
resentative II. Y. Schwarz, the well
known Democratic leader of Monroe
county. A coal train going north had
stopped to allow the engine to take
water at the tank. In backing on It's
return trip it bumped too hard, caus-
ing a CANDIDA to leave the track. The
car fell across the southbOund rail
ing a gondola to leave the track. The
locomotive of the milk train plOughed
into the gondola. 1t was badly dam
aged. The cab was completely ruined,
as was the ornamertation of the en-
gine. Two milk cars were splintered
badly and all the journals on five cars
were torn off.
The heavy rains of the past two
DAYS caused considerable damage in
this section. The creeks in this town
were swollen to gigantic proportions.
The Brookheads creek overhowed at
the iron bridge and the water reached
to Columbia avenue. The soap factory
first door and many cellars had con-
siderable water in them. On Analo-
mini; avenue a barn was undermined
and horse and cow rescued with dir-
ficulty. Out at West Stroudsburg
many cellars were inundated. The
house near the Susquehanna was COM
pletely flooded. The Minsi Pulp and
Paper mills were obliged to close down
for twenty-four hours owing to the
high water. No trouble is reported
along the Delaware river 1t was
very high. The ice went out without
doing any damage. -Four feet Of water
covered Dutch fats on Thursday even
ing. The Lancaster dam was broken
and bridge below II, with others in
that section, We're swept away. AT the
"steam shovel on the Focono Summit
the water from the Mud pond covered
the railroad tracks. No damage is
reported by the Wilkes-Barre and
1;aston roads. Roads throughout the
county were badly washed and torn.

Mr.. Brown. of the Burlington.

Up in Chicago it is said among
railroad men. that instead of General
Manager w. c. Brown, of the Burl-
ington. being the new president of the
Pittsburg & Gulf road that W. G.
Crimson is slated for the position.
The Prevailing circles, however, is
that Mr.. Brown has been offered the
position. but has not vet accepted. One
of the Chicago papers of today quotes
Mr.. Brown as saying in this cOnnec-
ton: Il know nothing more about it
than what l have read in the papers.
/ have nothing to say TO the public
now" 1t is believed that the tender
of the presidency was made 10 Mr..
Brown and that he has submitted to
the reorganization committee the con-
ditions under which he might accept.
These are: A positive guaranty of
five years. non-interference on the
part of the controlling interests and
absolute freedom 10 build up the road
as his judgment deems best. These
conditions are now being presented
by Max Pam to Mr.. Hartman in New
York City. 1t is thought that in
the event of Mr.. Brown leaving the
Burlington. that Howard Elliott. man
ager of the Hannibal & st. 10 system,
of the Burlington, will succeed to the
general management of the entire
road
