His wife was left in good circumstances and after wards married his brother, Eugene Brady O'Neill, leading man in Arizona affairs.

 The last spike in the Salt Lake road was unceremoniously driven in place last Monday. The actual meeting place was on Dry Lake, about four miles from siding 31 (Goodsprings) in the state of Neva- da. While trains can run from Salt Lake to Los Angeles still the road is by no means completed and it is doubtful if regular passenger traffic will be inaugurated before the first of June. About twelve miles of the present road will be abandoned when the tunnel near Bird Springs Pass in completed. When this piece of road is finished there will be ceremonies in honor of the real completion of the road.

The bog, which was intersected by the
river, was about half mile long and on
one side of the river about 900 yards wide.
On the other side of the river which was
sixty or seventy yards in width, the long
strip of bog was about sixty yards wide
and fringed, as on our side with a second
growth of young maple, birch, pine and
alder.
