"gentemen's rooms" and ''ladies' rooms" at its
stations. They are now Inscribed: ''Men's room"
and "womeDs ROOM"

the estimates for completing the road are far
under the actual cost, and that it Will take a
great deal OF money to equip the road neoessi-

The emaeiated Massachusetts Central road
shows more signs of vitality, The Boston Ad-
Vertiser says: ''Fhe road will probably be opeped
gether next month to complete REORGANIZATION
Construction will most likely be resumed next
spring, and it is quite possible arrangements
will be completed by that time which Will make
the Massachusetts Central more than u local

TOO MANY HEAD COLLISIONS.

Thirty Dollar Telegraph Operators Expen-
sive Employees to Railroads.
Within the last thirty days there have been
of which. it is stated, were caused through the
carelessness Of incompetent telegraph operators.
In one case the operator was $3o-per-month
salaried man, the other a $35-per-month man.
The $50 mans wreck will cost the company, it
is said sufficient sum to have employed No.
telegraph operators on their line at good sala-
ry for two years at every station on the road
where there are Geographic instruments. Speak
ing of this matter OF cheap operators, a train
stantly anxious lest some one OF
these low-priced operators would
be careless and neglect 10 give an order, and give
him trouble. He then cited a case which oc-
Cured this week Two freight trains were com
ing in opposite directions; there was but one tel
egraph station between them, and he called and
called for the operator, but ne answer came.
Fortunately, both trains met and slowed up at a
water-tank, and an ugly wreck was thus pre-
vented. On inquiry, it was found that the op-
orator he had boon calling had gone into "A field
near by to witness the breaking of colt OF
course the operator was discharged, although
the wreck had been avoided by the merest acct
dent, not three times week do engines take
water at that tank. The neutrality-suspicious. then
went on to state that throughout the West
fully so per cent. of the telegraph offices were
manned by these cheap operators ana the only
wonder was that there was not ten accidents
where There'is one, adding that people would
not dare travel were one-half the narrow escapes
from collisions made public, The train dis
patoher took the ground, which is certainly ten
able that IL would be better to run all trains on
sehedule time and rules and regulations without
telegraph orders than to run the rsks now taken
by employing, at the smaller stations, $50 To
S35 men operators. The fact is that head
collisions are becoming TOO numerous, which is
evidence that there is something wrong in the
handling of trains

Passenger Agents Working in Unison with
the ScaIDara

Passenger Agents Working in Unison with
the ScaIpers.
Passenger circles now present an unusual
phase. Some of the passenger men have asso-
slated and dealt with scalpers the last few
months to such an extent that they have
learned the tricks of the scalpers, and it is diff
ticult for party who purchases ticket through
these outside offices to distinguish whether he is
dealing with a scalper or genuine railroad
ticket agent. AS the matter now stands, if a
scalper is unable to sell ticket to party said
party is directed to one of the outside passenger
agents Offices then said agent will cut the rate
until he he secures the party to go over
the lines he represents. Sometimes the
party becomes bewildered between the scalpers
and the agents, and appeals, as one did yester
day, to a newspaper man for information, and
as the newspaper man is paid no commission,
he directs the traveller 70 the uptown Union
railway ticket office, where the aInIable George
Reek has charge of matters, From time to time
the railroad officials call newspaper men to
do something to punish the wicked scalpers who
interfere with the uniform course of railway
management. But what IS 10 be done with the
railway ticket agents who work with the scalp
ers, and, ii the scalper fails to effect sale cuts
the rate below scalpers figures.
