WILL AFFECT MANY MEN.
Some Stringent Rules Issued by the
Delaware and Hudson Compan ,

On and after tomorrow the trainmen
of the Delaware and Hudson railroad
will be governed, when taking orders,
by system which is known as the
double" system. The Erie has been
working under this method for some
time and has found it to be an ad-
miraple one. Little light could be
thrown upon the new order by the en-
ployes, and the officials were rather
reticent about it.
However it was stated that the new
rules differ to some extent with the
ones previously in effect and affect
more particularly the operators who
become much more responsible. A little
book containing the rules of the road
has been issued by the company and
every employa is supposed to have one
in his possession, receipting for the
same when he gets il. Thus it will
he known just how the men are act
ing.
Another rule which goes into effect on
the above date and is far reaching is
that passenger train employees must
not use tobacco in any form while on
duty, and railroaders found frequent
ing drinking places will be dismissed
There are many men in the employ of
the company in its railroad service who
are accustomed to using tobacco al
most continually, and this Is probably
the most stringent mo- tobac" cure
ever given them. The rule referring to
the drinking places" speaks for itself

SHANNON IS VERY LOW.
His Life Hangs in the Balance.
Was Visited by "Pal" Yester-
day-Still Claims He Is
from Shamokin.

John shannon, the wounded burglar
who is at the Lackawanna hospital,
may be dead before this is read, as at
O. oclock this morning he was just alive
and was being closely attended. He
spent a restless day yesterday, his
wound giving much pain ard at times
there were traces of blood in his saliva.
He talked but little, though visited by
several persons more or less interest,"
ed in his case.
He still persists that he belongs in
Shamokin, though Warden Detrick. Of
the Northumberland county Jail, who
was here yesterday on business. stated
that Shannon had been his guest once
for thirty days, being committed on a
charge of vagrancy. Thursdays Sha-
mokin Dispatch, in referring to the
shooting, says that the several families
of shannon residing there had no MEM
ber away, and so far as they knew no
relative of theirs would answer the
wounded mans description.
Yesterday was visitors day at the
hospital and Shannon had two, a young
man and n young woman. The former
strongly indicated by his actions that
he knew the injured man. He only
remained about three minutes, but dur
ing that time asked two questions that
seemed pertinent. How do you feel?"
and do you know the county d.
tective at Northumberland" The men
whispered together, but Shannon would
only tell the above mentioned ques-
tions. The visit was made about 215
o'clock. The fellow answers very we'll
the description of Benninger, his pal"
on Tuesday morning, given in the Tri-
bune Thursday morning, except that
there was evidently an attempt at dis
guise in the clothing and he wore d
derby hat of old style, yet apparent
ly new. He would watch furtively
every person who came near him.
The young woman, who refused to
give her name, said she resided here,
but had relatives of the name of Shan
non in Shamokin and new many rela-
tlves there. She simply glanced at the
patient and then went away saying
lit isn't him"
Chief of Police Gurrell and Sergeant
Charles Ridgeway called at the ho5pi-
tai last night about o'clock, but the
officials deemed it advisable not to al
low anyone to see Shannon, owing to
the change which had set in about 4
p. m. for the worse.

Lillian Lewis, the actress, who was
managed from Rock Island for year

had charge of Harper's theatre.
Miss Lewis died Saturday. She was

than ordinary attention in the towns
where she played. She figured in
