SYSTEM WELL MANAGED
IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE BY
THE CITY RAILWAY.

CITIZENS GIVEN AS GOOD SER
VICE AS POSSIBLE AND OARS
RUN ON TINlE-DEIiAYs oCCA-
STONED BY UNAVOIDABLE OBJ
STBUC1IoNs OR BREAKING OF
MACHINERY.
Superintendent Fox, CT the VIII
mington City Railway Company, has
.in view several plans which he will
aIply to the system as the occasion
requires, and which will greatly i'm
prove the system.
The present girders supporting the
rails are now only set down four and
"a half inches beneath the surface ofI
the ground This Mr.. Fox does not
think is deep enough, and hereafter
when any new track is to be laid or
old rails replaced, the girders will be
set down nine inches, thereby making
the rails more solid and greatly aid
ing in the smoothness of the running
OF cars. The trouble row is that the
joints give way. The chairs break
viii not stay up.
Whenever there is occasion to renew
any special work the most improved
and expensive material is used,
and hard centre integral frogs and
switches have been put in when any
new ones were needed.
In the matter Of running the road
two new cars have been added to the
line, one being placed on the Della
ware avenue branch and one on the
West Eighth Street line, going in SER
vice every day at 4 o'clcck in the af-
ternoon. This was done by Mr. Fox
TO accommodate the passengers arriv-
ing on the steam railways. and now
travellers are always met alter that
hour by either a Delaware avenue or
West Eighth street car upon their ar
rival at the French street station.
There are at present thirty-one cars
operated on the various lines of the
railway, and this number is, by the
judicious management on the part of
Mr.. Fox, assisted by Harvey B. Van
degrift, assistant general manager, en-
abled to meet the demands Of the city
on ordinary occasions.
In order to keep track Of the time
made by the cars Superintendent Fox
has stationed a man at Eighth and
Market streets, a part OF whose duties
is to take the time of passing Of the
cars in each direction, together with
the cause Of delay if there is any
This report is submitted to the super
intendent eaCh day, and he is thereby

with the time made by the cars. as the
instances in which they are reported
late are few, and he assures traveler
that whenever they have to wait an

At the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts in Philadelphia, there is now on view
an exhibition which appeals with unusual
force to those devout church gOers who at
the same time appreciate the beautiful in the
fine arts. This collection consists of about
four hundred and seventy-fve paintings in
water color, with few oil, by j. James
Tissot, a French artist of the highest rank
In order to depict the scenes and people as
nearly as they existed in the days of Jesus,
Mr.. Tissot has lived long in Jerusalem and
has brought to this task of religious fervor
every artistic resource in realizing the cor
rect costumes, the actual landscapes, the
color, movement and character of the actors
in the greatest life-drama of history. These
pictures will remain in Philadelphia un il the
end of April and the academy has courteous
ly invited clergymen and their families to
see them upon presentation of their cards.
Others are required to pay a small entrance
fee

A FAMILY OF FIGHTERS.
The O'Neins Were Made of Fighting stock
ana Have a Record.

p. j. O'Neill proprietor of the Demonico
Hotel, Girardville, and NJ. J. O'Neil, the
undertaken of town, come from fighting
stock of O'Neills, who distinguished them
selves during the recent war with Spain
They are relatives of Captain "Bucky'
o Neill, of Tombstone, Arizona, who met
death while charging with his company of
Rough Riders on the Spanish intrenchments
at Santiago. Gunner Patrick o. Nell, of
Pottsville who went down with the Maine,
in Havana harbor, was also relative.
Besides these, there are other relatives who
met death from Spanish Mausers. Among
them was James O'Neill of Manayunk a
member of Battery II, Third U. S, Artillery,
killed during the attack on Marialo, in the
Philippines last week. Corporal Phil O'Neill,
member of the Fourth U. S. Cavalry, died
at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. James
O'Neill, son of Richsrd Neill, ofManayunk,
member Of Captain Caprons Battery A, First
U. S. Artillery, distinguished himself in the
battle of San Juan, by firing the first and last
shot at the Spanish block house. He was
considered the finest marksman in the Bat
terry. The first shot tore large hole in the
wall, and the second brought down the Span
ish colors from the cupola.

Consumption Cured.


BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1899-04-13
%SSSS&Sl@Sss


In consumption beware of cough mix
lures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. It is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu-
lates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lungs TO a
sound and healthy state which no other
remedy has ever been known to accom-
plish.
