Will Minister to tho Comfort of

tho City Funeral of Mrs J. A.
MearsIntermont Made In Dun
more Cemetery Other Happenings
of This Part of the City.
Though hardly to be credited unless
seen, a chnngo Is being made at the
West Lackawanna avenue crossing
that will be a relief to every person
having had In the past, or who expects
to have In the future nny cause to
ride to West Scranton aboard (the
Scranton Railway company's cars.
Tho Improvement, which Is already act
ually tinder way, will so chnnge things
that hardly a Jolt will bo precept Ible
while crossing the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western railroad tracks.
For a long time efforts have been
made by the Scranton Street Railway
company towards obtaining permission
to lay a double frog system of cross
ing so that smooth passage could bo
obtained. The Delaware, Lackawan
na nnd Western company was obdur
ate and the Jolting and rocking and
splashing of soft mud upon passengers
In open cars was only mitigated from
time to time by minor repairs.
The crossing wns made In such a
manner that the stretch of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna nnd Western rail
road tracks was unbroken and tho
streets cars Jumped over them, that
Is over each rail. Now, however, all
this Is at nn end.
A large force of Delaware. Lacka
wanna and Western and Scranton
Street Railway employes began yester
day morning to tear up the old rails
nnd relay the new crossing. Little
time was wasted In laying a section
nnd bolting the connections In either
direction, as each sectloa was In shape
to put In place. It Is Intended that
by this morning tho whole thing will
be completed. The current, of which
the rail Is part conductor, Is carried
through the frog connection by heavy
cable wire In such a manner as to pre
vent the current running wild In the
Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western
tracks.
During the progress of this work the
street ears wore stopped on either
sldo of the crossing and transfers
made. The Delaware, . Lackawanna
and Western trnlns were carried bv
on the light trncks by being switched
over until the main track was fixed.
