PHASES OF LIFE.

An old and well-known railroad engi-
neer in speaking of the Riggs electric
danger signal which was OH exhibition
at the Exposition. said: 1T reminds
ME of a somewhat similar apparatus
patented by Frank Winters some ten or
twelve years ago. Winters was an en-
gineer on the ST. Paul Il Duluth railroad,
and in trying to save his engine in the
roundhouSe at Northern Pacific juno
ton. which was on fire, he was blown
up through all explosion of fire damp.
losing the sight of both eyes for time.
While in this condition and under medi-
cal treatment, he invented several life
saving devices for railroads. One of
them was an apparatus whereby gong
would sound in both cabOOSe and engine
of a freight train whenever it broke i'll
two. which is very ordinary case and
exceedingly dangerous unless noticed
at once, especially if the train is going
up or down grade. An ordinary battery
was placed in the cabOose and
with the device. the return connection
being made on the rail. The invention
was tried practically and proved sue
cess, but was never adopted for some
reason. and while looking at the Riggs
patent was reminded very fCrcibly of
Franks patent. and wondered if the
idea did not spring from the latter'S
brain. He died some years ago from
the effects of the accident. while Vainly
endeavoring to interest capital to intro
duce several of his inventions.
"Prof." John Donaldson, who is more
or less known to all Minneapolitans, has
achieved considerable additional repu
tation as trainer and second since his
departure for San Francisco in the
spring. Donaldson has been identi-
fed with sporting matters for
almost two decades, although
only about thirty-seven years
Possessed of magnificent physique ne
early demonstrated considerable ability
in the manly art, and before increasing
weight interfered, was undoubtedly one
of the most graceful and scientific
sparerS living. A departure from the
old style of getting away from an oppO
nent by stepping, was changed by him
to the graceful spring backwards, which
all boxers now use in retreating, and
several innovations which have
changed the style of boxing very
radically from twenty years ago.
Donaldson invested considerable of his
share of the profits of the business,
while in partnership with Cardiff, in
good real estate, and the rise in prop
erty has made him quite well-to-do.
Among sporting men. Donaldson passes
as one of the sQuarest men in the pro-
fession. The San Francisco papers
gave him great credit for his superb
work behind La Blache in the latter's
great fight with Dempsey for the mid
dle-weight championship and 5000
purse given by the California club,
which is the largest one ever hung up
for a similar event. Donaldson is
naturally of a very pleasant and oblig
ing disposition. and his recent set-to
