Pittston, May 20. Dnnlel Lewis, of

shot by his wife lout night, ns noted In
today'H Tribune, died this evening just
before 6 o'clock. Mr. Lewis became un
conscious Immediately after the shoot
ing and continued In thnt state until 2
o'clock this morning, and hopes were
entertained that ho would survive the
nccldent. A sinking spell came on this
afternoon, which was followed by death.
Dr. Prevost probed for the bullet, but

Today the city solicitor had an In
junction served on the Erie and Wyo
ming Valley Railroad company to com
pel them to cease work of laying or
changing their railroad tracks In this
city. This is another chapter in the
"Cannon Ball" trolley fight. When the
latter company was refused right of
way through the city, It seems an
agreement was reached between the
trolley company and the Erie, whereby
the latter would endeavor to perform
the work of constructing the track for
the trolley company. This will not go
with the city officials, who are opposed
to the trolley company and have se
cured the aid of the courts.
