GOOD ROADS DOWN VALLEY.
Automobiles Raising Money For
Paving Between Moscow and
TObyhanna.

More than $4,000 has already
been raised by o. S. Johnson and
the good roads committee of the
Scranton Automobile association for
the paving of the road between Mos
COW and Tobyhanna. Mr.. Johnson
has received a bid of $4,000 for the
paving, and it is expected that the
full amount will be subscribed with
in the next few weeks and work on
the pave started, so that 1t will be
completed before cold weather sets
in.
The paving of the stretch between
Moscow and Tobyhanna will assure
autoists a continuous paved highway
between Scranton and New York,
The Mt. Pocono Good Roads asso-
citation has agreed to pave between
Tobyhanna and Stroudsburg as soon
as the local men start work from
Moscow. The roads from Strouds-
burg to the macadam roads of New
Jersey are in good shape.
Rollo G. Jermyn, president of the
Automobile association; Edward NJ.
Clarke and Hugh b. Andrews, seere-
tary of the association, will person
ally solicit subscriptions for the new
road this week. They are confident
that within the next few days they
will have the $4,000 necessary to
pay for the pave. Mr.. Johnson by
personal contribution and work
among a few of his friends has pro-
vided the other $4,000.

it imperative for the crossing watch

MAY USE LAUREL
NEGOTIATIONS NOW PENDING
BETWEEN THAT LINE AND
LAKE ARIEL INDICATE POSSI-
BILITY OF CARS ENTERING
SCRANTON ABOVE MOOSIC
STREET-OTHER LOCATIONS.

Negotiations between officials of
the Laurel Line company and the
promoters of the Lake Ariel Railroad
company may result in the formers
station in Scranton being used as
the terminal of the new line.
The entrance to the Laurel Line
tracks will be above Moosic street If
the negotiations are successful. Two
other ways of entering the city prop
er are being considered. One is to
run the line to the east end of the
Spruce street bridge, then coming to
the central city over the tracks of
the Scranton Railway company. The
other is to make connection with
the TRACKS of the railway company in
South Scranton and enter by Adams
avenue.
The promoters of the new COM
pany are considering the different
plans. At present the selection of
an entrance by way of the Laurel
line is being considered in the most
favorable light. 1t is probable that
no matter what selection of route
is made, there will be a loop line.
Present indications are that the
route will be from Moscow through
lands in Elmhurst owned by w. P.
Boland, Col. L. A. Watres, DR.. G. E.
Hill and Messrs. Davis and Bliss, the
latter a large tract now being de-
veloped into building sites, thence
to the Laurel line and over that to
the Laurel line station or by tunnel
to Front street, Meadow street,
Moosic, to the Spruce street bridge.
The route from the city will likely
be from the point where the new
line connects with the Laurel line
or from the Spruce street bridge to
Moosic street, Stone avenue, Hem
lock street, South Irving avenue to
Willow street, Crown avenue to Riv-
er street, on to the back road and
Lake Scranton by way of Snooks
addition, then on to the route to the
Just as soon as the line is defin-
itely decided on, an application will
be made to the Scranton city coun-
ellis for a charter and work may be
started this summer. 1t is hoped to
have it ready early next summer.

Bucks County senator Talks as
Though He Expected to be Elected.
A dispatch from Doylestown, the
candidates home, says:
State Senator Webster Grim. Dem
ocratic nominee for governor, issued
statement today in which he de-
clared his intention of accepting the
nomination when formally rendered.
He declares only three of the dele
gates to the Allentown convention
had written to him suggesting that
the convention be recalled. All of
them had voted for Berry.
"It has become quite apparent"
said Senator Grim, that the dissat-
isfaction and demand for a recall
emanated almost entirely from the
desire to have Mr.. Berry nominated.
That issue was settled fairly and
unanimously in the convention.
Mr.. Grim states that while he has
received about a dozen letters from
friends of Mr.. Berry assigning yari-
Gus reasons why the latter should
be nominated, he has received a
much larger number of letters from
other Democrats declaring the ticket
named is the only one under the
circumstances that could offer hope
of success.
The statement draws attention TO
Mr.. Grim's record on reform legis-
lation and declares promoters of the
third party movement are secret al
lies of the "Penrose machine"
He declares he had no knowledge

Trial Cost "a Bit of Money.
County Treasurer w. F. Sherwood
estimates the cost of the trial to the
taxpayers of Broome as about S2,-

regular and extra panel of jurors,
which is believed to be about $500,
and the salary of the IL men on the
jury during the 10 days that the
trial lasted, or about $3.50. The
sheriff's bill for serving the witnes-

AT TER THE CIRCUS
HIGH OLD TIME AT THE TRAIN
WHEN SHERIFF SHOWS UP
WITH WARRANT FOR FAKIR
WHO'D SKINNED MAN FROM
DAMASCUS OUT OF S53-"
TO CARBONDALE."

Howe's London shows did not get
out of Honesdale without one little
mixup that wasn't down on the bills.
A bunch of the husky drivers and
tentmen the show carries tried to
mess things up with Sheriff NJ. Lee
Braman and did succeed in giving
the official sort of a nervous 10
minutes, but he wasn't hurt.
The sheriff had a warrant for the
frog wheel man, the fakir following
the show, charging him with getting
S53 from a Damascus farmer who
thought he could beat the wheel and
found, to his discontinue and cost.
that he couldn't do any such thing.
The man the sheriff wanted is not
a large man. He might weigh 14O
pounds. When the sheriff introduce
ed himself the little fellow got lippy
and said things to Braman.
One word brought on another and
the sheriff, according to the story
of a majority of the bystanders-
there was quite a crowd attracted
when the officer, with the local po-
lice, held up the engineer-was sur
rounded by at least a dozen circus
men. Some say they got his re-
volver and kept it five minutes, when
it was returned to him. Sheriff Bra
man denies this. He says they
didn't get his gun. He admits they
got hold of his warrant and tore it
up.
When all this was done with, the
wheel man put his hand in his pock-
ct and beckoned to the man from
Damascus who lost the S53.
"Pll give you 500, old boy, and
call it square" he said. Mr.. Da-
mascus couldn't see it that way.
The train finally got away about
two o'clock and took the circus to
Carbondale. An effort to get Divis-
ion Supt. Burke of Carbondale on
the wire failed. The superintendent
was abed and asleep.
Sheriff Braman said yesterday he
couldn't see why such a fuss had
been made over so small an affair.
They did tear my warrant" he
said, but they didn't get my gun
away from me or knock me under
car. Did the fellow they skinned
get his money back? | think he
got $50 out of it,
Most of Howe's drivers and tent
men are burly young men from
the west and southwest Some OF
them are from Oklahoma. The av-
erage southwestern driver is a

commended for the spunk he showed

Detective Nick Spencer was not in
the affair at all.

and strong. Her spangle outfit is
very becoming to her, and her
singing never fails to catch the au-
dience. Miss Butler was formely
connected with Williams & Wal
ker's show. The second edition
introduced Messrs. Mitchell and
Brown, with that very sweet and
polished little actress, Miss Evon
Robinson as their private inter
lOcutor. Miss Robinson is one of
the leading ladies to Mr.. Hill,
and is no doubt one of the sweetest
singers and one of the most grace
full actresses in the company. She
is shown to a good advantage in
her costume this week. Mr..
Mitchell never fails to make a hit.

"a clever little actress, but she is

as she grows older she will i'm
prove. 'If He Comes In, I'm Coin

a good fun maker. ''Meet Me To-
night In Dreamland" was beau
tikully rendered by Mr.. Hutchin-

sweetest singers upon the Ameri-
con stage. He was recalled after
the first rendition of this beautiful
song. His voice is musical, soft
and sweet. "Come Down and Kiss
Me, Stella" by Mr.. Louis Mitch
ell. This young artist assumed
the character of an old man in
Dixie Land, and it is quite evi-
dent that he is an important aux
iliary to the show. The musical
numbers were concluded with a
female quartet, "When the Heart
is Sad," Miss Mamie Butler and
others. The singing was loudly
applauded. Miss Hattie Akers

recited several renditions from
Dunbar. With a little more prac-
tice Miss Akers will become a fine
elocutionist. She is quite young.
Mr.. Minor is Washingtonian and
an up-to-date artist. He is not
only a dancer and singer, but he is
an actor. He is live monologue
artist. His play on the business
center of Washington kept the
house in a continuous roar OF
laughter. His special character in

serves special mention.
Aunt Jamimie's Reception con

an advantage in Aunt Jamimie's
Reception. He assumes the char.

well as the officers of the law, and
if they can't handle him she
would do so herself. In the midst
of the frolic the bully makes his
appearance and shoots up the
town and puts them all to flight.
