William Walton, which wns the name
given to a Tribune reporter by Mrs.
W IJ. Dtiggnn, of the Associated char

terday arraigned betoie Alderman XV.
S. Millar on a charge of deserting "Is
wife nnd two children, one a 4-yenr-
old bov and a little girl not yet two
.venrs old. Tho children were found
by a neighbor of the Wnltons alone
In their home on Price street, West
Scianton. Hoth father and mother had
deserted them, the latter because her
husband had become a tramp diunk
ard w lth his love for home pre-empted
by a desire to dilnk.
The airest ot Walton was made In
Thomas' saloon, on Lackawanna ave
nue. Ho was standing at the bar
drinking when Mrs. Duggnn enteied
and showed him a win rant fiom Al
deiman Millar's oillce. Walton Is a
Quaker he comes fiom a good Phila
delphia family and, despite his dissi
pation, he hasn't forgotten his native
politeness; and gentlemnnly bearing.
He graciously icsponded to the serv
ing of the warrant by tho woman olll
cer. It was Mrs. Duggan's first arrest
In that capacity.
Walton's condition made a hearing
Impracticable and he was committed
to the central police station for a
fuither hearing this morning. Ills
wife Is now with her parents out of
this eltj
When found, the two children were
ciylng fiom hunger; tho file In tho
stove had binned out nnd the little
people weie cuddled close together on
a couch. How long they had been In

them Is not known, but the last seen

ing. AGAINST MINE FIRE.
Precautions Reins; taken by Pulling
Down the Wooden Shanties in the
D , L. & W. and D. & II. Mines.
Oiders for t"no demoTiShlng of all
shanties used by file bosses, footmen,
headmen and pump runners Inside the
mines have been Issued by the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western coal
depaitment officials. At least, this Is
the case nt th" Hellevue collleiy where
what tlneatenod to be n costly fire
was found In a pump room at the foot
of the outside slope, in the Hock vein
on Thui sday.
Tho shanties will be leplaced by
stiuctuies of stont set In moitar, and
having ash or cement Hoors, thereby
doing away with a danger which has
been a menace for many venrs.
A similar action was taken by the
Delawate and Hudson ofllclnls follow
ing the disasttous fire in the Van
Stotch slope. Orders were Issued that
are Inside phantlts should be torn
down and In the abpolutely necessaiy
cases uulvanlzid lion or stone struc
tmes weie built instead.
Yesterday a foice of company hands
under the direction of Mine Foieman

the fall of roof In the Hellevue slope
nnd npioplng the place. No particu
lar damage was done as that was hap
pily aveitod by the piompt action of
Flitbo Hairy Hvans early Thursdaj
morning
At the point whtie the fire hap
pened a small donkey pump was sjt
uated which was only lun during the
day time, and only on necessary occa
sions nt night. The spot was heavily
pmpped at this point, and a flooring
laid, othetwise with the stait the
llnmes had anil some mme boaids In
stead of thick pi ops, tho coal would
have been Ignited and tho "lire made
more serious. The pump was not ln
Juied and the repairs will be complet
ed In a day or two.
The only plausible theory yet ad
vanced as the cause of the tire Is that
a lamp was left burning near the pump
and ignition of the oll-patutated-boards
