REMOVING THE TRESTLE.
Tho High Works Over Dundaff Street
Is Disappearing Progress of Dela
ware and Hudson Changes.
Slowly the remnants of the old grav
ity railroad are disappearing. The frug
inetit Unit Is going now, leaving only
its history behind. Is the trestle that
crosses Uundufi' street, nt Hie foot of
Salem avenue. "Workmen havo com
menced to remove It anil In a short
time there will he left stnndlwr only
the portion that Is being used for the
aei'ommodntlon of the coal curs which
fill tlie retail coal pockets located off
Salem avenue. It is expected, however,
that this part of the trestle will also
disappear as soon as the new pockets
how under way will have been ready
for use. The same historical Interest
attaches to this part of the old gravity
ris to the rest of the equipment that
hlis been removed or destroyed, and for
this reason Its removal Is worthy of
some notice.
' Work on the branch that will supply
coal to I he new coal tanks Is milking
good progress. This branch Is along the
old canal bed, beginning at the old
Humes and extending to the old union
station. A big: force of men was at
work last week cutting down the bank
and making- a roadbed. Kails, too, have
"been laid for some distance. By spring,
it Is expected, the new coal tanks will
be ready to supply the retail coal trade.
Then Interest will turn to the old coal
pockets, the ones In use now, and
speculation will he rife, as before, as
to what disposition will be made of the
ground which the coal yard occupies.
The talk about the prospective change
or removal of the Delaware and Hud
son passenger station 'from Seventh
avenue will also likely be revived, un
less something definite Is learned from
the reticent railroad oirtcials before
that time.
The removal of the Dundaff street
trestle is making a good deal of extra
labor for the telephone and electric
light companies. It was found quite
convenient on which to string wires,
serving the same purpose of a pole.
Now that It is to go, the companies
have found It necessary not only to re
move the wires, and raise additional
poles to accommodate them, but also
to reconstruct their lines. This recon
struction embrace the running of wires
and new poles along- DimdtifT street and
include in the changes the city's lire
alarm system.
The Minstrels Saturday.
The Culhano minstrels gave a fair
performance at the Grand Saturday af
ternoon anil evening, interest In min

rare combination of blnek-faced artists
that can attract a big crowd.

A Change of Food Works Wonders.
The wrong food and drink cause a

the food is the llrst duty of every per

VICTIM OF FAST RUNNING.
Almost a Tragedy of the Trolley on
Belmont Street.
Little Call English, 'the 6-year-old
grandson of Nathan English, of I3el
mont street, Is the first victim of the
fast running of trolley cars through
the streets of Carbo'nilalc. AVhlte i-oast-tng
down Drtimmond avenue, which
runs at right angle to Uelmont street,
ho was struck by a car, and his cloth
ing catching onto a part of the car, he
was dragged along for about 100 feet
before the rnotortnon realized what
wan happening, and brought the con
veyance to u standstill.
The boy, It was expected,, would bo
fcurfully Injured, hut he had a marvel
ously close escape, and emerged w'lth
a number of painful contusions on the
head and face.
As stated, the accident .was due
largely to the high spend at which the
car ran along Belmont street. While
It cannot be denied that a big respon
sibility Is assumed by little ones and
their parents when the former take to
coasting on busy streets, yet It Is
equally true that since the strike the
street cars have been run at a reck
less speed. Tt is asserted that the ear
which struck young English was run
ning at twenty miles an hour. How
ever true this may be. It can be truth
fully said that this speed has been ex
ceeded on Main street. Experienced
railroad men, whose opinions are
worth something, have declared that
cars have been run through Main
street at thirty miles all hour. Jt needs
no argument to show that there is
danger In this recklessness, a (lunger
that the safety of the community de
mands should be abolished. The Trib
une has pointed out, since the strike,
that the empty cars shoot through the
streets at a speed which carries dan
ger, and It again brings .this matter
before the notice- of the railway ofll
clals, whose duty It Is to .consult the
public safety. There is an ordinance
regulating the speed of cars which will
be enforced to Its letter, certain coun
cllmen assert, If the express cars are
not halted by the trolley company.
THESE HORSES NEGLECTED.
Almost a Job for Society for Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals.
The following communication has
been received by The Tribune:
"In perusing the columns of your
paper I fall to llnd any mention what
ever of what seems to me to be the
greatest of cruelty. In the Interest of
the Society for the Prevention of Cru
elty to Animals, 1 beg of you to write
an article In Its behalf. You may be
able to reach the hearts of the people
through the columns of your paper.
There is altogether too much of this
ill treatment of animals going on.
"We have not as yet been able to
punish the offender but, with your as
sistance, the people may become so In
censed as to rise against him en masse.
This affair Is beyond human endurance
and no punishment will be too severe
for the perpetrator of this deed.
"Think of It! Since Thursday after
noon, twenty-live line horses have been
allowed to -stand on the banks of the
Lackawanna, between Sixth and Salem
avenues, without shelter and without
blankets, to say nothing of the failure
to feed them, it Is shameful In a civ
ilized community.
"Trusting you will aid us In this
matter, I am "Yours,
"A Friend of Humanity."
To those Interested In the ease. It
might be mentioned that the horses
referred to are still on the river bank,
but It is expected that the contractor
who owns them will put them In ser
vice within a few days,
EVILS OF THE DANCE.

by Very Rev. T. F. Coffey, at the S

ple that had Its source In the dance
hall. Father Coffey urged the young

LEN GREY, slouchngly seated on
the rough bench before his cabin,
In tho soluble shadow of the
great pine tree, slowly" puffed at
a corncob pipe us his indolent
guzo followed the convolutions of the
flexible withes curling from under his
knife
Suddenly he looked like a fox at the
bay of hounds Through' the cabin a
small boy ran "Dnd, dad,'' ho softly
culled. "Sheriff run!"
Len leaped high to escape a tangle
of catbrlar, while tho pursuer tore nnd
swore through the detaining vine. But
Len limped ns he ran, and the oftlcVu.
gained upon him. Len stooped low nnd
dodged to one side. Tho sheriff nltched
on and disappeared, falling into a crev
asse which served as the chimney to a.
cave below.
The sheriff landed upon the Illicit
still for which he had been searching,
and bounced off against a moonshiner,
who held him, while the other men In
the cave drugged a bunch of willow
withes from a tub of water. AVlth
these they wrapped the sheriff us If he
hud been a form upon which to shape,
a basket. They twisted the bands
ubout him, rolling him over and over
as they worked until he looked like a
wicker encased mummy. This llnlshed,
a gag put an end to his swearing.
As they left him lying helpless on the
lloor he could hear them dragging the
still on and on, deeper Into the cave,
the echo rendering It Impossible ofr
him to judge as to the distance.
Drip, drip, drip. Oh, he was so
thirsty. He tried to move, but that
only ightened his bands. If only he
could sry out, or, If he could get word
to Mary AVinn! She used to go to the
still every day. He remembered hay
ing heard that she was purveyor to the
moonshiners. She would help him. She
certainly loved him and when he wns
on the mountain lust summer, and he
did not believe that she had ever found
out that lie was a spy. At all events
he hud heard that si woman would for
give a man anything If she loved him.
Ah, perhaps she was coming now!
Someone was surely coming, but It was
a queer step, a stort of tap and scratch
combined. The creature skirted the
cave, moving things with its snout as
It grunted about, then passed on Into
the depths.
Next a dog sniffed at him. Becom
ing alarmed at the unfamiliar thing,
tho dog jumped back and burked, but
catching sight of the pig in the dis
tance he gave chase. Round und round
they went until the pig scampered over
the sheriff, the dog in close pursuit.
Oh, that maddening' drip, drip, of tho
water! AVhat if lie had been left there
to starve. AVhen the withes dried they
would be Ugher than ever. He must
burst them now. He braced his
muscles and strained with all his force,
but the moonshiners had used withes
before.
AVith a slow, shuffling tread, there
cunie within his vision u loose-jointed,
shambling figure, with a big conical
shaped head, dull eyes and hanging
under lip. This object looked vacantly
at him; then slowly turning away it
thrust Its limp, useless hands into the
fissures in the rocks until it dragged
out n kerosene can. The thirsty sheriff
could hear tho gurgle, gurgle of the
moonshine whiskey as it flowed from
the can Into the idiot's throat. Then
lie, too, passed on.
A llisurd slipped ucross his face. A
rock squirrel, perched on a ledge above,
dropped nutshells on his head, Tlie
light was becoming fainter. He must
have been In the cave many hours It
seemed days. AA'ould help never como?
A soft, quick tread of bare feet and
a jingle of tin, und a young girl with
a pail dangling from her hand stood
near him. She bent down and looked
closely ut htm, then wonderlngly ex
claimed: "Ben, Is 't you-uns? How 'd ye Item
here'.'" It was tho work of a few sec
onds for her experienced fingers to
undo the willies. Tho sheriff removed
the txng and slipped into his pot-kot a
badge that had been concealed by his
coat.
As he put his nrniB ubout the pretty
blue-eyed girl she sighed happily. AVith
her hands on his shoulders she again
asked:
"How 'd ye kem here, Bony"
"I foil through that hole," pointing
upward, "und tho nnyi must huve
thought me a sheriff." lie luughed as
he glanced nt the girl to noto the ef
fect of his words. "You saw what they
did to mo. AVhat huve you In your pull,
Mary?" His thirst quenched, he ahked:
"How can I get out of thlti'.'"
"But ye uln't no sheriff, Ben?" usked
the girl apprehensively,
"No, Mary. Have you forgotten me?"
"Forgotten ye, Ben?" as she looked
lovingly ut him und nestled io him.
"But, Mnry," said he, "I must got
uwuy."
"Como, then," sudly suld the girl, ns
the took lils hand and led lilni from
the dim cave through tho low en

rose grimly. The sir), still lending,
turned into a narrow trail usc-eiidlng
the seemingly uiibcnluhlo cliff. Enter

sigh t'he added: "What mils' I do fer

over his puini us she sat heslil him,

and found It hurd h be yentle with
her. He slowly twisted one of her

that the moonshiners trust no one.
You will help me, sweetheart?" he
ashed as he drew 'her to her feet.
"But how?" asked llary.
"Oet my horse, Mary; it Is down at
the forks."
"To fer," answered the girl; but
leckon my niare'd do."
"Just the thing:, Mary, but where Is
she?"
"RlKht nigh. Come."
After much scrambling they were
upon comparatively level ground. A
rough road skirted1 the side of the
mountain. Below It a shallow stream
slowly moved, with dark ferns and
i-hodcdendronsi on it banks.
-l can't stay here, Mary," said the
man looking about; "It's too open."
"Look," and the girl spreading her
arms wide parted, u clump of laurel.
Into this greenery the sheriff: crawled.
"Ye'll kem back ag'ln, Ben." mourn
fully usked the girl us she leaned
against her mare.
"Of comae," answered the man, and
asked ns he tightened the girth:
"What's become of your old lover,
Mary? Tom was his name, wasn't It?"
Then not waiting for a reply, he added:
"I suppose If I'd not come along you'd
have been married to him long ago,
eh, girl?" He raised her shin and
looked into her eyes as he asked the
question,
'But you-uns kerns, I nev'r kin now
Ben lem'me go long of you-uns, Ben,
the mare kin tote two."
"No, child, what could I do with you
down In the city? No, no," he said,
more emphatlcully. "You'd be better
olt with Tom."
"But Ben, I had to love you-uns-,
tell you-uns kem 1 'lowed I loved Tom,
but now oh, Ben!" she pressed -his
face between her hands, her eyes dim
with emoton.
From above came the angry hiss of
an owl. The girl, recognizing It as n
slgnul of the moonshiners, grasped the
stirrup and exclaimed;
"Quick, quick!" The sheriff swung
himself to the saddle just as two men
ran down the slope. He dug his heels
Into the marc, but the girl clung to tho
stirrup and to lit leg us she Implored;
"Tel; me, Ben! They'll kill me! Oh,
tele me!"
Tho sheriff with un oath and n sav
age thrust of his foot against her
breast released himself from the girl,
nnd she fell heavily.
One bullet went through his hat, the
other silt his oar, The mure In u
frenzy of fright bolted Into the thicket.
The mooiiBhlners looked scornfully
down at Mary, and let themselves drop
fnto the cave.
Mary's mare, not accustomed to such
harsh treatment, galloped down deep
into a boggy ravine. The man pulled
and tugged as ho tried to turn her,
for before him wus the wallow of the
wild Iiobs.
A great boar with short tusks and
bristling munu rose savugely at sight
or them. As the mure stumbled
through tho mire the hour with u roar
ing grunt charged upon her. A tusk
pierced her side und she went down,
the boar grunting nnd stamping upon
her in his fury.
The agile sheriff Jumped fur as she
fell, hut only lo find himself surround
ed by hogs of nil shades, from blaik
to rusty red. As he reuchod for hU
pistol he was bowled over by u oiii)g
hour, and with a rush the hogs war
at him. Their sharp hoofs wounded
his body; his face ho pressed deep Into
the m I re.

The girl stopped half way down, her

"When he was within reach of the
great boar he struck the wild creature
across the back with his rllle. At the
.blow, tho mane on the boar'a back
quivered with the animal's rage, and
he turned toward his asasllant and
raised himself to jump between him
and the enemy.
Tom stoped and plunged his knife
lnt6 the exposed throat of the huge,
creature and wrenched the weapon,
from side to side.
At the squeals of their woundsd

tumbled Into tho shallow stream, -squealing
and biting at one another In

Tom picked up the wounded, frigh
tened sheriff and helped him out to the
bank, where Mary met them. Ho
meekly submitted, to the rubbing and
scraping with lenves and Tom's knife,
Mary gravely looking on. Then Tom
turned to Mary und said;
"Well, Mary?"
"Tom, help him to light out'er here."
"Why?" asked Tom.
"I 'low as you-unn'll do It, Tom."
"Oh!" exclaimed Tom, as he looked
sharply at her; then, "How'd he kem
