Will Prevent Wrecks.

In order to prevent a repetition of
the disastrous wreck which occurred
on the mountain track at the Newport
siding last fall the Lehigh Valley rail-
road company has taken out the con-
nection between Sugar Notch and Far.
view.
That distance is the only section &c
single track on the main line and ~
der the new rules there will only be
one train allowed on it at a time be-
tween Farview and Sugar Notch, as
there are no passing switches or sid
tngs available between those points.
Plans have been made for building
a double track on that section, but
from present indications it will not be
done for some time.

CONDITION DANGEROUS.
Shields Accidentally Shot by Com
panions Tuesday Evening.

James Shields, the young lad who
was accidentally shot by companion
on West Lackawanna avenue Tuesday
evening, is lying in serious condition
at the Lackawanna hospital. The
bullet entered the right breast and
pursued an upward course. 1t may
have entered the lung, and it may
have tiattened against one of the ribs,
but 1t would be dangerous at present
to probe for it.
Byron and Tom Watkins. the boy
who had the revolver In his hand when
it was discharged. and the boy who
purchased it, are being held at police
headquarters to await the result or
young Shields injuries.

to be done is to set up telegraph Of

to headquarters. A man is placed in
charge of the tool car to issue the
tools needed at the wreck, and to
care for them when they are returned
The wrecking crew do not aim so
much to save the damaged freight
cars as to clear the road for the sus-
pended traffic.
The obstructing cars are usually
rolled over the bank to be picked up
the following Sunday. The trainmcn
calling for the wreck train have given
the trainmaster a description of the
situation and an estimate of the pro b.
nble time required to open the road.
If the Tins required to obtain n clear
tracks exceeds four hours, freight trains
are not sent out from terminals. The
trains are, however. made up, and the
yards cleared for the movement of the
concentrated traffic that follows the
removal of the wreck.
LESS than four hours detention the
trains are moved as close as conven-
tent to the point of the wreck and

WORK OF WRECKING CREW.
The wrecking crew is supposed to be
competent to do anything pertaining
to the maintenance or operation of the
railroad. 1t lays track, repairs engines
sufficiently to allow them to be taken
to the shop, builds bridges, trcstles
and dams. erccts temporary stations
and telegraph lines. and in some cases
repairs culverts and builds water tanks.
1t also transfers baggage and passen-
gers, takes care OF the wounded in
wreck, and in some instances coffin
the dead. The man in charge may also
investigate the cause of the accida
and collect evidence in case of future
claims for damages.
Ordinarily great care is taken to save
the contents Of the cars, and a watch
man who is generally one of the rail-
road company's detectives is stationed
at the wreck to prevent any of the
merchandise becoming the prey Of
thieves. Goods that are not damaged
by the wreck are forwarded to the con-
signec and delivery made. In case they
show signs of the experience they have
had claims is made by the consignee for
the loss in value and this is investi-
gated by the railroad authorities, and
if just one, is paid

Mr.. D. E. McClelland has again
taken up the realeatate business.
About year ago Ed sold out the last
half of his interest in the business
and tried hard to quit but he could
not stand it and has now bought back
a half interest in his old business and
will engage in it with his old vim and
hustle. There never has been a man
in Chanute in any line who got nearer
the top in his business than Ed Nc
Clelland, and we predict for the new
firm, McClelland and Wright, great
success. The time is just ripe for a
big business in this line and the eX-

Threats that they might hold up and
rob every body in town, Mr.. Leedy
says he became little nervous and
when called a short time after he
