On and after October 7th passengers will
not be allowed to ride on freight trains OF
the Maine Central railroad. This rule
| which is already in effect on nearly every
prominent railroad in the country, has beer
under consideration by the Maine Central
officials for some time and has at last been
decided upon, partly owing to the difficulty
in heating freight saloon cars in any other
method than by common stoves. which are
now prohibited by law in cars which are
used for the transportation eff passengers.

The Conemaugh lake aud reservoir which
burst its bounds and overwhelmed the ten
towns which with Johnstown at the base,
constituted the string Of communities down
the mountain side was a sheet of water three
miles long, one and a-quarter wide and one
hundred feet deep. The wal or dam which
held it in check-and whose breakdown
caused the disaster-was 10 feet high, near
ly 1000 feet long, 90 feet thick at the base
and 20 feet at the top. The lake owners,
the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club
comprising rich Pittsburgers-say they
had the Pennsylvania Railroad engineers
make periodic examinations Of the dam;
but the Club had no indemnity bond filed
regarding this structure, as was required
Already suits are threatened against the
Club.
