He sang group of Schumanns songs

Mr. Doersam played delightfully."- two

His rendering of the Chopin number

The vocal programme concluded with
three English numbers. Mr. Dreyer re-

MANY IMPROVEMENTS.
They Are Being Made by the D., L.
& w. Company or Are in
Contemplation.

The exclusive announcement in The
Tribune. Monday, regarding the pro-
posed new freight station, which the
Delaware, Lackawanna e. Western
railroad company contemplate erecting
on Mates street, caused quite sur
prise in railroad circles, although such
a change has been in view by the COM
pany officials for long time.
Their present building fronting on
the alley in the rear OF lower Lacka-
wanna avenue is not large enough to
accommodate the vast amount of
freight which is handled daily. A
large volume of this business is now
handled in the transfer station near
the West Lackawanna avenue eros
sing.
The improvement is only one of the
many contemplated by the company
for this city, and within few years
complete change will mark the situ-
alton of affairs which exist at the pres
ent time. Notable among these will
be the viaduct over the West Lacka-
wanna avenue railroad crossing.
The plans and specifications for this
much needed structure are now being
prepared in City Engineer Phillips de-
preliminary work are also being at
tended to- Owing to the scarcity OF
structural iron and steel, it is doubt
full if work can be started on the via
duct before another year rolls around.
Meantime everything else will be in
readiness for the work.
No less important in fact, change
of more Importance, as far as the
company is concerned, than the con-
structon of viaduct, will be the erec-
tion of new car repairing and building
shops, and also new motive power re-
pairing and machine shops, which will
mean the complete obliteration of the
present shops in this city.
From present indications, the car
shops will be located on site
adjacent to the Keyser Valley branch
railroad, lying between Timmes e.
Hechts spike mill and the Capouse
coliery of the Ontario & Western Coal
company.
The advantages of this location are
greater than the site originally selected
on the Bloomsbury division.
The shops will be built on a large
scale, and will enable the company to
build the new equipment needed.
This will give additional employment
to much larger force of men than is
now employed, and enable the company
to concentrate all of their repair work
in this city. The plans and specifica-
tions for these shops are now being
worked out by the company's architects
and engineers and will soon be COM
pleted, Chief Engineer McFarlin visit
ed the proposed site for the car shops
recently and was much impressed with
the location
The new machine shops and motive
power department will be located on
the site of the old North Steel mill, and
will include some of the most up-to-
date machinery and electrical equip
ment in the world. This Improvement
will revolutionize the present motive

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Dover, of Ca
pouse Avenue. Were Out Driving
with Dillon Child When Struck by
Delaware and Hudson Train at
Parker Street Crossing in Green
Ridgs-Mrs. Dover's Condition
Was Reported as Serious Last

The Dillon child was the son of Mr..

about $40 o'clock, and in addition to
the injuries already mentioned, Dover's
horse was killed and his buggy ruined.
Dover and his wife were removed to
the Lackawanna hospital where the
formers injuries We're stated as con-
sisting of Il broken left arm. Mrs.
Dover sustained q concussion of the
brain. and severe scalp wounds Mr..
and Mrs. Dover have frequently taken
the Dillon child out driving, and there
fore when the little one requested them
to take him along last night, they glad
ly acquiesced.
They drove through Providence, and
1t was on their return home that the
accident took place. AS Mr. Dover
drew near the crossing. a large build
ing shut off his view of the track and
he knew nothing of the approaching
train until he suddenly heard it's
whistle. His horse then gave wild
dash. and Dover was utterly unable to
control it.
There was an awful crash as the en-
gine struck the buggy, and when Dover
regained consciousness he found HIM
self under his dead horse, with his wife
lying nearby, stunned and unconscious
The child was groaning feebly, and
died soon afterwards.
Coroner j. F. Saltry and DR.. Bessey
and DR.. Peck were summoned, and the
Dovers were then removed to the hos
pital. Dover left after his arm was
treated, but Mrs. Dovers condition was
reported as very serious at the Lacka-
wanna early this morning.

WAS DROWNED
while BATHING
Casper Martin Met Death
While Swimming in Lacka-
wanna River.

Casper Martin, young man in the
employ of Grocer Archibald Turnbull
of S23 Capouse avenue, was drowned
about $50 o'clock last night, while
swimming in a pool in the Lackawanna
river near the Scranton Nut and Bolt
Works. He was suddenly seized with
cramps, and sank to the bottom before
any Of his companions could come to
his aid.
Martin was 81 years of age and lived
with the Turnbulls. A mother and sew
eral brothers, who reside on Stone ave-
nue., survive him. He left the Turnbull
residence about 7.30 O'Clock last even
ing with Robert Turnbull, Alex. Hay,
and two or three other young men.
The party went to the pool, which
was formerly part of the Lacka-
wanna, known as "the eddy" but is
now detached from the main stream.
They stripped and entered the water,
and between and $50 o'clock the at
tention of the others was attracted to
Martin. who was making a series of
grimaces and gasping for help.
There had been good deal of sky
larking in the water. previous to this
and at first the young men thought
their friend was merely joking. They
realized shortly, however, that he was
really in agony, but before they could
reach him he had sunk.
For over an hour and half futile at
tempts We're made to recover the body
by Martins companions and patrol
men, who We're summoned. Shortly be-
fore II o'clock it was brought to the
surface, and removed to the home of
Mr.. Martin on Stone avenue.
Coroner j. r. Saltry was notified and
was present when the body was re-
moved from the water.

DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.
Call for Convention to Nominate
County Ticket Will Be
Issued Soon.

AS yet the Democrats have not pro-
ceeded very far in shaping their lines
for the fall campaign. AS has been
their wont they have lain idle until af-
ter the Republican nominations are
made. The call for the committee to
meet and fix the date of the convention
can be expected now any day. The
convention will likely not take place
until August.
Only one Democrat has been men,
toned for congress. He is P. Mulherin,
of Taylor, of the firm of Mulherin &
Judge, contractors. Mr.. Mulherin has
said that he is disposed to seek the
nomination and would, in all likelihood,
accept it If it came to him.
There are three outspoken candi-
dates for orphans court judge. They
are T. r. Hoban, Hon. NJ. F. Sando,
and Mayor James j. O'Neill, of Car
bondale. Mr.. Hoban is the most ag-
gressive of the trio.
Four names are mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination for coun-
ty commissioner. 1t is conceded that
County Commissioner John j. Durkin is
to be one of the two nominees, and that
he shall have some say in the selection
of his running mate. He wants Ger
man Democrat and SO do all the man.
ayers. Burgess Victor Burschell. of
Dunmore, Common Councilman Charles
Graf, of the Nineteenth ward, and Au-
gust Robinson are spoken of for the
place. Robinson can have 1t without
a fight, it is said, if he will take it..
In case he should not be prevailed upon
to run, the chances are that Burgess
Burschell will be the choice.
Only one Democrat, James Moore, of
Carbondale, succeeded in passing the
examination for mine inspector and
the Democrats are consequently re-
stricted to one candidate.
Common Councilman p. f. Calpin
has no one openly opposing him, as yet,
for the senatorial nomination.. Several
men of the party are, however, out
with lightning rods, and before long
Mr.. .Calpin may have opposition.
Timothy d. Hayes, who was defeated
by Hon. II. jefferson Reynolds two
years ago. has determined to make a
try against Joseph Oliver The chances
are no one will attempt to deny him
the opportunity. Joseph j. Brennan, of
Carbondale, is talked of for the Demo-
cratic nomination for representative in
the Fourth district. Hon. p. T.. Tim
lin and Thomas Hendricks, of Jermyn,
are also candidates. John II. Bonner
wants to try again for the legislature
in the Third district. He Is the only
one thus far talked of. In the Second
district. Common Councilman Fred
Phillips is out for the nomination, and
up to date has the field to himself.
