Thomas O'Neill, of the West side,
whose arrest was reported In yester-
days Tribune. has been committed to
Jail by Alderman Atkinson in default
of bail
The charge against ONeill was wife
beating, his wife appearing against
him with a long line of charges OF
cruelty and abuse. The accused hus-
band did not deny the narrowing
tales that his wife recited, but coolly
acknowledged his guilt of the assaults
that were multiplied against him.
O'Neill seemed indifferent to the con-
sequences of his acts and was an eN-
ception to the defendant in case Of
this nature. Usually when an accused
husband admits his guilt there is a
show of repentance, but O'Neill al
fected the indifference of IA stole dur
ms the entire proceeding. Constable
Moran tock him to Scranton.

ADOPTING SAFETY MEASURES.
New Rail Supporters Being Installed
Along Honesdale Branch Of D. and
H. Railroad.

H. Railroad.
An announcement that will be read
with interest and satisfaction through
out this community is the news of the
precautionary measures which the
Delaware & Hudson company is em-
ploSing on the IIoncsdule branch of Its
road.
Iron supporters. not unlike the fish
plates that link the rail joints, are be-
ing placed alongside the rails for the
entire distance between Carbondale
and Honesdale. These supports have
been tested and have proven effective
and with their use there Is removed
whatever possibility existed OF the
rails spreading under the heavy car
leads of cxcursionists as they were
hauled down the mountain-side.
The supporters spoken of are about
the width of a railroad tie They rest
unrght. firmly against the rail and
reach up to the top of the latter. They
are securely fastened to each tie ana
are capable of withstanding terrific
pressure They act as a reinforcement
to the other means employed by the
railroad company. and their adoption
and use were an outgrowth of the es-
''''''''N" P''''s VI VIC col'PduS' duu
one that Is religiously adhered to. OF
reducing to minimum the dangers to
passengers entrusted to It's care.
The work of spiking the supporters
IN place was commenced OH Sunday
and will be completed before the OPEN
Ing of the excursion season at Lake
Lodore. which will take place on
Decoration day.
The completion of the work Will
bring feeling of security to prospcc-
tive eXcurSionists who were somewhat
'imid heretofore. because of the grade
which the cars descended, but with the
introduction of the supporters this
disturbing fear will he readily re-
moved.
