Flowing Through the Snow.

When the trains on most railroads
are showed up, those of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railway
may be nearly always found running
on almost schedule time. The reason
of this is that the Lake Shore and

other western roads run but two a
day. Consequently one train follows
so closely upon the heels of the other
that it is impossible for the tracks to
become impossible. Not only this, but
the equipment of the Lake Shore rail-
way is perfect, and every means
known to science is employed to keep
its trains on schedule time Those

POOR BOARD MEETING.
A Trio of Deserted Wives Asked the
Board to Do Something to Bring
Back Their Absent Spouses.

Yesterdays meeting of the poor
board presented an unusually varied and
interesting number of applicants for
outdoor relief There were three de-
serted wives and several who refused
to go to the home under any consld-
GRAFTON.
The first deserted wife was Mrs.
Richard Mcmahon, of Webster avenue,
who said her husband had recently
left for Plymouth, Mass, to set up
a locomotive for the Dickson Manu-
featuring company and who had not
yet returned. From the tone of the
letter she had received she said she
believed he would never come back.
She wanted the board to have him
brought back, but this could not be
done. Director Burke was authorized
to give her temporary relief.
The other two desertion cases were
also from DunmOre. Mrs. Collins was
the first one heard. She said that her
husband has left her in a destitute
condition with five small children to
take care of. AS she wanted the board
to assist her in securing a divorce the
case was referred to Attorney John f.
Scragg.
The third case was that of Mrs.
Gallon, of Clay avenue whose hus-
band left her some months ago and
who has two children to take care of.
This was also referred to Director
Burke.
Mrs. Catherine Martin so years old,
bent and Wrinkled with age, asked the
board for relief. She said she had two
married daughters but they refused
to care for her now that she was old
and useless. 1t was pointed out that
the home was the best place for her to
pass the rest of her days in peace and
quiet. She wouldn't listen to this at
all, having that old proud feeling
about the poor house that seems to De
bred in the bone" with some peop,e.
She was promised relief.
Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Moran, he aged
61, and she aged So, asked to have the
S. a month given them during the
winter continued. They both burst in
to tears when asked if they wouldn't
go to the home. mo sir. we don't
want to-" answered the old woman, "it
would break both our hearts" They
We're granted relief.
Joseph Hudock was admittAI to the
home and a number of Others were
granted outdoor relief.

One after the other the raft of de-
PENDANTS in the case of Evans against
the city and others were eliminated
yesterday, until, when the case was
finally ready for presentation to the
jury, Contractor C. r. Kinsley was the
only one left, and the only question Of
liability remaining in the case was
whether or not the damage done by
the blasting was the result of careless
ness.
The suit originally had as its de-
PENDANTS the city OF Scranton, the
Richmont Park Land company, the j..
w. Browning Land company, the An
thracite Land company, the Woodlawn
Park Land company, all the individual
property holders along the line of the
extension of Washington avenue that
was graded. and C. r. Kinsley, tlre
contractor who did the grading.
All of these, including Mr. Evans. the
plaintiff, signed an agreement releas-
ing the city and everyone else from all
liability for damages. Mr.. Evans, how
ever, brought suit to recover $4,000 for
damages resulting from his house be-
ing left eleven feet above the road
way and from it's having been struck
by flying debris from the blasts. He
claimed he signed the release with the
understanding that the cut in front of
his house was to be only five feet, and
as to the damage from the blasts, it
was claimed the release was only eff
fective If the work was done in a
proper manner, which he alleged was
not the case.
ENGINEER NOT AUTHORIZED.
When it was brought out that the
alleged false representations were
made to him by an engineer who was
engaged in preparing the map of the
grade, court ruled that, as the engineer
was not authorized to act in any such
capacity as this for the defendants,
they could not be held to have made
Misrepresentation, and all considera =
tion of the damage resulting from the
cut must fall from the case.
The plaintiffs attorneys then direct
ed their efforts to an attack on Mr..
kinsley, the contractor. They held
that the mere fact that flying debris
from the blast struck the PLAINTIFF s
house was prima facie evidence of neg
ligence, and it was for the defendants
to show that there was no~ negligence.
After a long period of arguments, it
was decided that the case should be
submitted to the jury, subject to a re-
served law point as to whether or not
the claim of the plaintiff as to prima
facie evidence Of negligence was cor
rect
In opposition to the claim against
Mr.. kinsley, the defense produced evi-
dence to show that a tacit agreement
was made between the two that if any
windows were broken by the blasts Mr..
kinsley should pay for them, and that
the plaintiffs father-in-law, Mr.. Wag-
statf. occupant of the damaged house.
presented claim for the glass that
was broken, which Mr.. Kinsley paid.
Mr.. kinsley gave Mr.. Evans a good
share of the coal that was dug out in
making the cut, and he claimed it was
understood in consideration Of this gift
Mr. Evans would release him from LA
bility for any incidental damages other
than those specified in the tacit agree
ment, namely, broken windows. This.
Mr.. Evans denied.
