road. He was born in Rock Island, H.,
in 1855, and entered the railroad SER
vice in 1872 as a telegraph operator.

Are Not Satisfied.

Officials of the New York. Ontario

carrying roads that have been oppos-
ing the application of the Delaware
Valley and Kingston Railway company
to construct a road from Lackawaxen,
Pa, to tidewater at Kingston. n. Y.
declare that they are not satisfied with
the decision of the New York State
Railroad commission, permitting such
construction, and will appeal to the
courts.
In view of the fact that the Erie was
one OF the principal opponents To the

The Iron and Steel Trade.

The reduction of SIS to $50 a ton on
wire and wire nails made during NJ
past week has startled the trade, rs
such a radical drop in prices had not
been expected. It has caused a serious
check in business in other branches
of the iron and steel trades, as buyers
will wait to see what effect this will
have on raw materials and manufac-
tured products generally. This is be-
lieved to have been the largest borl-
zontal reduction in price in the history
of the iron trade. Its nearest parallel
is the reduction in the price of steel
rails, which was made in February,
1897, and for the time caused as great
"A sensation. The effect of this occur
renee is shown in our market report 5
from the different trade centres, which
indicate that in some lines it is at
present almost impossible to make
quotations owing to the cessation OF
business. II will probably be a couple
of weeks until the smoke clears away
and all parties are able to get their
bearings.
In the meantime it is well for every
body TO bear In mind that the condition
Of the country generally is of the most
satisfactory character. Prosperit y
reigns in all branches of business,
railroads are doing an enormous trar-
fic. workmen are well employed, the
prospects for crops are of the most
encouraging character, and our foreign
trade is not only unprecedentedly
large, but continues to grow. Foreign
iron markets are buoyant, and we have
every reason to expect that our en-
ports of manufactured products will
continue to increase. Sales of south
rrn pig iron for export have been large
during the week, and the Indications
point to much more business of this
Characterization Age.

Renewed interest Is being taken In
the proposed new trolley line between
Wilkes Barre and Hazlcton and the
announcement that it will be in order
for travel before the end of the year
may be taken as a statement really
meant by the stockholders. 1t Will run
through rich farming country ana
by several attractive summer resorts,
notably Triangular lake. 1t will come
to within three e-fourtha of a mile OF
this resort and II is understood that
branch track will run to the lake.
At West Hazleton the road will be-
gin, although the cars will run over the
present tracks into 'Hazlcton. From
West Hazleton it will go around Buck
mountain. about one-half mile up from
the village of Conyngham. The road
up to this point will be virtually level.
II will drop down the side of the
mountain at a grade of 2ia per cent. 20
a point near Drums, in Butler Valley
From there it will pass through the
village of st. Johns, about a mile from
Drums; thence up the southerly side Of
the Nescopeck mountain to a point
where the Wilkes Barre and Hazleton
turnpike crosses the same descending
into the "Schweita" valley on grade
not to exceed 2 per cent, to a point
within from onc-half to three-quarters
of mile on the northerly side of Tri-
angular lake, from which point an up
grade will be maintained of 2ia per
cent. to point about 100 feet below the
top of the Wilkes Barre mountain,
where the proposed tunnel is to be
built. The tunnel which will cut
through the apex of the mountain, will
be 1900 feet long and will obviate the
necessity of building three miles of roa
over the top of the mountain. The
northerly portal Of the tunnel will bt
about fifty feet below the Lehigh Val
ley railroad tracks. This point of the
tunnel will be about opposite Warrior
Run.
Then there will be a grade of about
per cent. down the northerly side OF
the mountain until Sugar Notch gaI
Is reached. Through this the road vii
pass to the lower Ashley plane and viii
continue down the mountain at an easy
grade, going through the field neal
the Brown Row; thence under the
bridge on the Empire branch of th'
Central Railroad of New Jersey, 9th
erwise Conyngham street, and connec
with the Ashley and Sugar Notch line
of the Wilkes Barre and Wyomin!
Valley Traction company. The distance
will be nearly thirty miles.
The company intends building tn
road solidly and substantially and hav
ing finely upholstered cars, each fifty
two feet long, with toilet and smokin.
rooms. The fare will probably be $l.2
for the round trip or 70 cents each way
The cost of construction, equipment
etc. will. is is expected, cost abou
$500, 000.-Wilkes- Barre Record.

Thomas Burns, the old blacks nit b,
whom so many Mohave county people
know so well, was tried and convicted
of murder in the second degree, at
Anaconda, Montana, at the Novem Der
term of the district court. The evi.
deDce adduced at the trial showed that
Burns was under the influence of IL
qnor when he committed the murder.
The man whose life Burns took was a
worthless habitue of the slums, but
the shooting was without the least
provocaion. The plea of the defense
was insanity, Burns having been caved
on in a Tombstone mine many years
ago aud his head badly inJIred.
