High Sheriff Brown was asked yester-

there is curfew law-section 406 of

have had my attention called to fragrant
abuses Of it, and this especially on Satur-
day nights. The young girls who fire.
Quent Hotel street on such occasions are
supposed to belong to the women who sell
leis along that street, and after their
parents were ready to depart they went
along with them. 1t has been brought to
my attention that the street is becoming

ALL DIFFICULTIES

The Wireless Telegraph That
Will Soon Be In
Operation.

AS soon as the Maui station is in
shape and repairs have been made to
the pole at the Mahukona station,
communication will be complete by
wireless telegraphy between Honolulu
and Hilo. Manager Cross and Messrs.
Bowden and Pletz the experts have re-
turned from a tour of the different sta
lions, and report that the work of put
ting the instruments in place on Mo-
lokai, Lanai and Mahukona is complet-
ed. AT Maui the station is not yet
finished, and at Mahukona the pole
must be repaired, for it suffered some
damage In recent storm, no one be-

stays at the time

Hitchcock, and he will assume charge
at Mahukona. Each of the experts
VIII have number of students under
instruction who will later take charge
of the various stations.
Inc ueIay IN completing the system

houses have had to be built at each
OF the stations, and difficulty has been
experienced with the large poles by
Whlch the currents are transmitted to
the instruments Manager Cross hopes
that the system will be in operation
however in few weeks more. For
some time there has been perfect COM
munication between Oahu and Molo-
kai and Lanai, the delay in completing
the station at Maui and the accident at
Mahukona having delayed the compile
tion OF the connection to Hawaii.

FUNERAL OF o. d. SHEPHERD
Remains Were Laid to Rest in Forest
Hill Cemetery,

The funeral of o. d. Shepherd, city
engineer of Carbondale, took place yes
terday morning at IL o'clock from his
late home on Washington street, Car
bondale. Services We're conducted at
the house by the Rev. e. s. Lee, pas
tor of the Carbonate Presbyterian
church, and the remains were brought
to this city on the 1913 train and in
terred in Forest Hill cemetery. The
funeral was private. The pall-bear-
ers We're II. 4. Jadwin, John Killeen
c. Ditchburn, A. b. Dunning. A. Kohl
and Joseph Jones.
Mr.. Shepherd was the Oldest engi-
neer in point of service in the valley
and was well known and greatly ad-
mred by hundreds in this city. 1t is
a strange coincidence that one of his
great engineering feats. which made
his name known to engineers all over
this country and Europe, should Off
cially pass out of eXistnce on the day
he was laid to rest.
Reference is made to the famous
Shepherds Crook, which he designed
as a means of overcoming the Obsta-
Cles raised by nature to prevent the
running of ears from Farview to Car
bOnda!e by gravity. The building of
the steam road has done away with

STATE INSPECTOR HERE.
He Is Trying to Locate the Unli-
censed Oleomargarine Dealers.

1t Is understood that a state inspec-
tor has been in the city for the past
few days making a personal inspection
of all places where oleomargarine is
sold and taking note of all dealers SELL
ing it without a license. He has been
brought here through the influence of
a reputable dealer who sells the stuff
but who is not afraid to say and ad-
vertise that he sells it.
He claims that his business is greatly
interfered with on account OF the op-
position he suffers from the large num-
Der of merchants in the city who are
selling oleomargarine without license.
Food Inspector Widmayer vouches
for the fact that the fictitious butter
is being sold in the city, but says that
in order to secure a conviction before
court an analysis has to be made cost
ing SIS. AS soon as the city is willing
to pay $l5 every time she wants an
unlicensed dealer in oleomargarine
arrested. Mr. Widmayer is ready to
go ahead and do the arresting.
The state inspector will probably
take some action in the premises, how
ever. as soon as he complies an accur-
ate list of all unlicensed dealers. The
state license fee is 500 yearly and in
addition to this there is a government
license fee of $50 year.
A rebate can be secured on the lat
ter if the person taking out the license
does not continue in the business for a
year. but this rebate is not made on
the state license fee. hence the large
number of government and the small
number Of state licenses to be found.

Nellie Mahoney, of this City.

mornings Tribune, was well known in
South Scranton, where she made her

Her name was Nellie Mahoney, and
she is survived by mOtner and num-
ber Of brothers and sisters. Her mother,
Mrs. Sarah Mahoney, of 1iO9 Pittston
avenue, had received no word Of the
accident and knew nothing of it until
she read it in the papers yesterday
morning. She was. of course, pros
trated by the announcement and faint
ed several times during the day.
The deceased Sister is survived by
the following brothers and sisters
John and Henry. Of Scranton: Mrs.
John Vaughan. of Pittston; William,
of the Indian territory; Thomas, of
Kansas City; Mrs. James Coughlin, of

tady. N. Y. Sept. 4, 1889. and was
married Dec. 80. 1865, to Hannah j.
Robson, daughter % Joseph II. Robi-
son, of that place. Mr.. Shepherds
father was an engineer on the Erie
canal and young Shepherd assisted him
in that work. From there he went to
Cohoes, ". ". to take charge of the
water plant at that place, and about
1865 came to Carbondale and became
an engineer for the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal company. Soon after en-
tering that company's employment he
designed Shepherds Crook. He had
charge of the laying out of the road
of that company from Carbondale to
this city and when the New York,
Susquehanna and Western company
was seeking to gain an entrance into
this region he made all of it's surveys

LISK ASKED TO EXPLAIN
Gave His Version of the Runaway
Which Caused the Wrecking of
General Phinney Steamer.

Permanent Man Lisk, of the General
Phinney Engine company. was sum-
moned before Mayor James Moir yes
terday morning for the purpose of ex-
planning how the General Phnney
steamer came to be wrecked while re-
spending to the alarm Of fire yesterday
morning.
Lisk explained that one of the reins
broke in two shortly after leaving the
engine house and that from that time
on he was unable to manage the horses.
The mayor ordered Chief Walker to
make a thorough investigation of the
accident and report the findings to him.
The steamer was only slightly dam
aged. probably to the extent of about
$25 but the chief says it is nothing
short of miracle that it was not
ruined, as it was found turned COM
pletely on it's side on the sidewalk.
Chief Walker says that the reports
circulated to the effect that the hy-
drants were frozen at the Miller &
Stout planning mill fire yesterday morn
ing are absolutely without foundation
and that no difficulty whatever was
experienced in obtaining water.
Since the cold weather set in he has
purchased number of hydrant pumps,
which he has used in pumping out
the hydrants. BY this means the water
in the hydrant is all removed with the
exception of a small portion which it
is impossible to take out and which is
converted into brine by the plentiful
use of salt, thus preventing it freezing.
The danger of the hydrants being
rendered useless is thus reduced to a
minimum The only difficulty expert
enced is that after the hydrants have
been carefully pumped out a gang of
street cleaners come along and open
them up to flush the streets. thus un-
doing the precautionary efforts of the
fire department.
