Indications point to the removal OF
the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western company's repair shops from
this city to Binghamton. whether the
present strike among their employees
is settled or not. II has been known
for some time that the Binghamton
board of trade is desrous of securing
the shops for that city. and recently
special committee was appointed for
the purpose of inviting the company
to consider the matter seriously.
Tt is contended that switch from
the main line at Bnghamton is need
ed to accommodate the increased
freight traffic at that point. and to
obtain this siding an invitation was
extended to locate a repair shop there
also for the Syracuse and Utica di-
visions. This invitation came In the
form of suitable building site on
which to erect the shop.
The proposition was considered by
the company, and held in allegiance
until a more thorough investigation
could he made. This was done by the
company's engineers and when the
matter was reported on. the proposal
was brought to the attention OF the
ing. and the city of Binghamton was
invited to make "A definite and ex-
picit proposition.

a suitable tract of twenty acres OF
land adjoining the railroad, situated
on the north side of the city. and

The company's attitude in the strike
situation is practically decided upon,
and it is fight to the finish.
Another significant fact which has
direct bearing on the removal of the
shops is the suspension Of work on
the proposed enlargement of the
Scranton round house. The company
had intended tearing down the old
round house and building larger one,
but this may now he built in Bng-

The councils decision to take this

yesterday morning of Agent c. RI.
Van Ruskirk, of the Municipal I'M

pany Regarding his call, Chairman
Campbell said
"Mr. Van Buskirll stated that he
had received an order from the Della

tives of the machinists.

would be raised to such IA service. as
it was in the interest of the health
of the community.

of Wilkes Barre are of the same mi
gratory kind as those located here.
With the reports of smallpox coming
from Wilkes Barre and among the
'scabs' at Dover, the prospect of SOW

tile ground as the material imported

Two Complaining Wives.

Brutality on the part of the husbands
who had sworn to love, cherish and
protect them, is the grounds alleged for
divorce in two cases heard before
Judge j. w. Carpenter. They are the
cases of Kate Artz against Jacob Artz
and Annie j. Gerrity against NJ. j. Ger
rity.
Mrs. Artz, her two sons, Robert. aged
IL. and Harry. aged 16, and Isadoir
Shoemaker, n friend. who has known
the family for years. gave the test-
mony that is hoped will make Mrs
ArtI free.
1t was to the effect that the husband
was drunkard; that he beat and
otherwise abused his wife: that he re-
fused to support his family. and that
he threatened to kill them if they did
not get out Of his house. This all hap
pened at Stouchburg. Berks county,
where the marriage took place eighteen
years ago. and continued from soon
after the wedding until year ago
when Mrs. ArtZ and her two boys came
to Scranton to live.
Mrs. ArtZ swore that her husband
beat her vciOusly. leaving marks Of
his violence on her body more than
fifty times. One of her sons told that
his fathers neglect at one time re-
duced him to the necessity of gathering
nuts in the woods to appease his
hunger
In the Gerrity case the allega tions
against the offending husband were
preferred by Mrs. Gerrity. j. G. Duel
and Miss Name Duel. of Rush. Sus-
quehanna county. and Mr.. and Mrs
Burbon P. Smith, Of Dalton.
Their story was that Gerlity spent
his earnings in drinking and gambling.
refused to support his wife and fire.
quently beat her, and finally drove her
from home.
They were married at Rush in 1883.
and lived together eight years. Mrs
Gerrity has since made her living by
working out as Il domestic. She is at
present in the employ of the family of
eX-Sherif Randolph Crippen.
G.. H. Soper is attorney for Mrs. Artz,
and Frank T.. Boyle for Mrs. Gerrity.
John Taylor took the stenographic
notes of the testimony in both cases.
