has been used as a public thoroughfare
for any length of time Is Maple street.


The entire right of way to that point
and beyond is owned by the Scranton and
Northeastern Railway company, and in
stead of the crossing Of the street at
this point resulting in damage or any
injury to city, Maple street is in better
condition at this time than it has ever
been since it was opened.
In 1894 when the city of Scranton was
| about to erect a bridge known as the
| South Side bridge before we could place
| the piers in the bed of the Roaring brook
it was necessary for myself and the city
engineer to procure the permission from
the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company
and that permission was only secured by
making several changes in the location
and size of the piers.
The Scranton and Northeastern Rail-
way company purchased from the Lacka-
wanna Iron and Steel company all the
lands running from the point of the old
blast furnace to and above the old roll
ing mill. Including the water way. and it
seems to me that If the title of the Lack.
awanna Iron and Coal company was good
at the time the city was attempting to
occupy a portion of that stream for it's
own Improvement, and were allowed to
do so only by the permission of the Lack
awanna Iron and Steel company. the
transfer of the same to the Scranton and
Northeastern Railroad company would
give us no greater right than we enjoyed
on this land and stream when the title
was in the Lackawanna Iron and Steel
company. Very truly yours,
W. l.. Connell. City Recorder.
Mr.. O'Boyle moved that the resolu-
tion pass Notwithstanding the veto of
the recorder and made a speech, in
which he attacked the recorder for the
position he took in the matter, and
said that he (O'Boyle) was actuated
only by a desire to see fair play all
around and protect the interests of the
city, To this bit of self-praise Mr..
Clemons responded as follows:
MIR. CLEMONS' RESPONSE.
"The resolution was uncalled for and
was misstatement of fact. In view of
that, don't see that the member from
the Eighteenth has leg to stand on"
Mr.. Merriman said that he had voted
for the resolution under the belief that
the facts recited in it We're true. He
has since learned they are not and be-
lieved the veto of the recorder should
be sustained.
"Are there any petitions from the
people of the Twelfth or Nineteenth
wards against this railroad" asked
Mr.. Chittenden.
Councilmen Quinnan and Vaughan
assured him that not only were the peo-
pie of their wards not opposed to the
new railroad but We're heartily in favor
of it and did not object to the recorder
giving the right to lay temporary
route pending the completion of the
tunnel route.
Then as I understand it," said Mr.

and Louisville and Nashville moved up
with no specific development to explain
the movement. The rise in Illinois Cen
trail had in its favor excellent reports of

various southern and southwestern stocks
but the resulting price movement was ir-
regular. Missouri Pacific was under con-
~ while Texas and Pacific on the other
hand continued to advance. The large
buying of Southern railway was without
much effect on the price. The weakness
of Manhattan was attributed to fears of
a strike BY engineers and motOrmen. The
rise in Pennsylvania and it's subsidiary
coal carriers was apparently in SYM
pathy with the Hooking Valley move
ment. National Lead was reported in
demand for some large financial insti-
tuition. There was not much in the stu

Chicago Grain Market.

Chicago, Aug, 7,-After considerable
early strength In grains today the mar
kets, particularly corn. suffered a severe
break. The cause was that the year
promised to be too prolific to suit the
bulls. There, was a good demand for
high grade wheat while very little wheat
of this sort was coming to market. This
could not offset the incentive to sell
withdrawn and corn broke jaggedly,
other grains dipped in sympathy. At the

She borrowed the skirt of my gown to
wear,
And she managed her train with an ele-
CANT air

She came to call in a neighborly way,
With her three doll-children in grand
array,
And we dared not smile at the things
she'd say.
'Twould offend her. playing lady.
She gravely discussed the childrens ills,
The doses they'd taken and horrible pills,
And casually mentioned the doctors bills
With quite the air of a lady.
The subject of dress she did not forget,
Nor the ways of her servants, the shift
less set,
Who surely would cause her insanity yet,
For thus is life hard on a lady.
At length she thought she must say fare
well,
But She caught her foot in her train and
AS she made us a bow. and 1 grieve to
tell a-s
That we laughed at her playing lady.
But l had a glimpse of her by and by,
In very short skirt, with her hair a-fly.
And she haughtily said when l questioned
She was tired of playing lady"
And l thought of some larger girls I
Who, when life goes wrong, as it's bound
Find that being grown up is hard work,
And get tired of playing lady"

AUNT BUSY. HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews-Aunt
Busy will give you one more week in
which to answer her questions, What
/ would do with $1,000 and then she
will have another question ready. She
would really like to hear from Ogden
before she closes her first question.
A nephew from Montana wrote a few
months ago that he believed the Ogden
boys would not answer the questions
because they never expected to have
that much money. Well, Aunt Busy
was so angry to have such an unkind
thing said about her neDhews in the
beautiful Junction City that she never
published the Montana boys letter, and
wrote him a personal letter, in which
she warned him to never again write
az unkind word about the fine Ogden
bows. who are so dear to Aunt Busy.
Please write to her next week and an
swer that $1,000 question, you Ogden
boys Aunt Busy viii feel very sorry
il you fail her this time.
