COVERED UP THE TRACK.

Supervisor James Ward, Of Lacka-
wanna township. was the cause OF a
delay in the street car traffic on the
Moosic line yesterday morning for three
hours. He had a gang Of men out re-
pairing the road along which the car
runs and had in operation a steam plow
or an electric plow of some kind Of an
instrument that dug up the road and
covered up the rails SO that 1t took three
hours to clean them off SO that the cars
could pass.
A warrant was sworn out before AL
derman Millar for Wards arrest and he
was held to bail In the sum Of $500 for
his appearance at court. 1t Is alleged
that the tracks were covered as a spite
action, because John Walsh, who Is
indicted for tapping the wires and OBJ
tanning electricity for his rheumatlcs,
Is u friend of the supervisor. The war
rant was issued under an old law which
makes 1t costly to any one interfering
with or blocking the roads Of common
carrier. The minimum penalty Is q fine
of s., 900 and 10 years In penitentiary-
