Terry drove from the boat to the mole and
started eastward on the driveway He ap7
preached the crossing of the track as freight
train loaded with ice was backing along the
track. The signal arm connected with The
blUc6-signal system was across the road
way, with the usual warning sign, and the
automatic bell was ringing. lie paid no
attention to the train on the signals. Some
by-stauders called to him to announce his
danger. He did not hear. or, if he did, did
not heed their cries. He drove on the rails.

Terry, was not hurt. The truck was broken

Pacific Coast Passenger Agents.
SAN Francisco. July 10th.-The Pacific
Coast Passenger Agents Association met
this afternoon. The first subject taken up
was the relation Of the agents of trunk lines
east of Chicago TO the agents OF the Iowa
lines and overland lines Formerly the
agents of the lines east OF Chicago formed
an Association andehc agents OF lines west
of that city formed another Association.
Through the influence of Mr.. Miller these
| two Associations were consolidated. TWAS
thought that the agents would get along
more tremendously if they held their de
liberatiouS jointly. For time the arrange
| ment was a success, but fierce competition
among the agents finally introduced dis
cord. The Association this afternoon de-
cided to detach all the agents of the trunk
lines from the organization, and the Pacific
/ Coast Passenger Agents Association will
| hereafter be composed only Of agents of
| lines west of Chicago. This action leaves
| the agents Of the trunk lines without any
organization, and there is no pledge that
rates will be maintained over the trunk
| lines. There are, therefore, all the Gle
ments for another war of rates.
