Repairs at Machine Shops.

Many changes are in progress at the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
machine shops, and when the repairs
are completed, the equipment will be
up to date in every respect. The high
roof Of nearly all Of the building has
been replaced by more modern COW
ering and more space is now available
for construction work.
Heretofore it has been necessary to
adjust the cabs on engines from the
second floor, but this will now be done
away with. Travelling cranes will be
put in as soon as the girders are ready,
and all of the machinery now located
on the main floor will be removed,
! making more room for the remodeling
of locomotives.
The pits are also being rebuilt and q
| brick flooring is being laid between the
rails. a new boiler house and engine
| room will also be added, increasing the
power facilities, and when the changes
| are completed the shops will be classed

figures compiled by the interstate
nmerce commission show that dur
the year ending June 80, 1923 were
led on the railroads in this country
II 44,62O injured. OF the number
He'd, 4,O4O were trespassers and 4,730
those injured were of the same
ass.
Of admitted passensJs killed there
Is a comparatively small number.
ie statistics say 259, and place the
'mber of injured at SAP. This is
ore than the corresponding figures
= the year previous, when the killed
re 221 and the injured 2,945.
Railroad men like to print figures
owing how much safer It is to travel
han to stay at home. For instance.
My one passenger was killed for every
.lS9,O23 carried. And, If you put it on
lie basis of miles, one had to average
'o51, $50 miles in order to get killed.
With employees a much bloodier tale
as to be told. One out of every 420
mployes was killed last year, and one
ut of every twenty-seven was injured.
# trainmen-and the men working on
acomotives had to bear the brunt OF
these casualties-one was killed for
very 155 employed and one in eleven
Injured.
In New York and some other states
new laws compelling the use of safety
,rakes and couplers on freight trains
were put in force, yet the number killed
and injured coupling cars remains
startlngly large. OF the former, there
were 26O killed, as against 279 the pre-
ceding year, and 6,725 injured, as
against 6,9SS the year before.
The use OF automatic couplers and
brakes operated from the locomotive Is
now very extensive. Practically all
passenger cars and locomotives are SO
equipped, and of the 1,295,510 cars in
the freight service on June 30, 1899
73O,670 were fitted with train brakes
and 1,067,S9S with automatic couplers.
The casualties from coupling and un.
coupling cars are assigned as follows:
Trainmen, killed, $50; injured, 5,O55i
switchmen, flagmen and watchmen
killed, "a: injured, 1888: other EN-,
ployes, killed, 6; injured, III. The

CAJAW POND MYSTERY.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Honesdale, July 16.-The deep dark
mystery caused by the finding of an
outfit of ladies' clothing near Cajaw
pond is still under 4 cloud. All sorts
of rumors have been anoat and have
proved TO be without foundation. From
the fact that the clothing was found
in the bushes one mila from the water
and that the garments and shoes were
of size that could not be worn by
one lady is conclusive evidence that
they We're not left in the bushes by
a person who went bathing or commit
ted suicide by drowning.
The clothing was prohtbly found or
stolen and concealed in the bushes by
some person who does not want their
identity known.

Around the Mines.

The Cayuga, Dodge and Bliss coll
lieries, operated by the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company,
have been shut down for repairs. The
operations will probably be resumed in
a few days.
Operations have been resumed at the
Archibald mines, after an idleness Of
over five months. During that time
new machinery has been added, in
cluding automatic slatepickers and
many repairs have been made around
the mines.
The new coal washery at the Hamp-
ton breaker is being operated slowly
and satisfactorily, and when running
at It's full capacity will eventually be
used for washing the culm at the
Hampton, Sloan and Continental
dumps, and probably the Central. also.
The work on the washery at the
Bellevue mine is nearly completed, and
the machinery will soon be started UP
there.

concerning the truth of rumors that

A PROMINENT WILSONIAN DEAD
Major William Gay Passes Away.
The Arrest ola Negro Desperate.

Correspondence of the Messenger)
Wilson. y. C, August 6.
Major William Gay, one of the old
est citizens of Wilson. died at The home
Of his son on Saturday night. He had
been sick for several weeks and his
death was by no means unexpected.
Mr.. Gay was a very old man, and a
general giving away of his system was
the cause of his death.
The funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon in the Methodist church,
of which the deceased had been a con
sistent member for over forty years.
Rev. J.. b. Hurley conducted the exer-
cises at the church
The services were commenced by a

The quiet of the Sunday morning was
very much disturbed mere yesterday
by the arrest of Essex Watson, a ne
gro who has been very active during
past few monuths, trying TO organize
the negroes in Old Fields township,
with the expressed purpose of killing
the whites if the amendment passed.
His cause for arrest was the stealing
of some checks from a tobacco con-
Germ in Wilson, but his other behavior
made his arrest an absolute necessity.
Since the campaign has been in pro-
gress he has been going aroun over
the county collecting S. from each ne
gro for the purpose of buying arms
with which to carry out his plans. Con-
stable John Watson, of Old Fields,
has had a warrant for the negro for
several months, but until Saturday
night had no opportunity to serve it.
The negro was found Saturday even
ing in the house of a negro friend and
ordered to surrender; this he refused
to do, and instead blew out the light
and b~arricaded the doors. A guard
was put around the house till Sunday
morning, when he was again ordered
TO surrender. He was brought to Will
son and put in Jail to await the prelim-
mary examination which viii tax
place on Tuesday.
Mr.. j. M. Martin, a telegraph opera
tor for the Atlantic Coast Line at Fay
etteville, was married last night to Miss
Julia Foote, a young society girl Of
Wilson. The couple is quite a juve-
nile one, the young lady being only l.
years old, while her better half is cell
ebrating his Dist ummer Miss Foote's
parents were very much opposed to
the marriage, but seeing the determi-
nation OF the young people they gave
their consent Inc the ceremon vas
performed at the home OF the bride on
Goldsboro street. Rev. j. d. Hurley,
pastor of the Methodist church per-
formed the marriage rites.
The happy little couple left on the
through Atlantic Coast all train for
the north where they will spend a week

SALSON, THE ANARCHIST
Sketch of the Life OF the Assailant OF
the Shah of Persia.

Paris, August 4.-Today'S inquiries
have cleared the entire history of
Francois Salson, the would-be assas-
sin of the shah Of Persia. 1t seems
that Salson's army record was most
exemplary and that he was promoted
for soldierly qualities. After the death
of his father he resigned from the army
and began anew the rowing life he had
previously followed.
During the inquiry Salson related
hat he once made an effort to assas-
sinate the former president OF the
French republic. NJ. !CaSimir-Perier.
He hid in the shrubbery beside h
road Mr. Casimier-Perier was accus-
toned to take in his daily walks, and
when the latter passed. Salson says,
he attempted to shoot him with a pis-
toll. The weapon, however, missed
fire and no one perceived his presence.
Salson's hatred of the president, he
asserted, was due to the latter's laws
against anarchists. He admitted that
he pulled the trigger Of his pistol at
the time of his attack upo the shah,
but in this case again. he weapon
missed fire. He explained that, hop
ing to ensure the explosion Of the cart
ridge, he had filed h. point Of the
hammer. This saved the shah's life
as the hammer had beer filed too much
and the pulling Of the trigger only re-
suited in making a small dent on the
cartridge.
Salson's asst employer states that
he was a model workman; that he new
er discussed politics, but that one day
he astonished his companions by say
ing: why should we work? Thus we
enrich others and gain only livelihood
