 NEW YoRD, Sept. Ion April 2 last Frank Kimball, the paying teller of the Peoples Savings Bank of Worcester, Mass, absconded from that place with $43, 500 worth of bonds and cash, aban- doned his wife and two children and went to Europe with & French Canadian woman, EStelle Ls Bon, The woman came back to New York alone 8 few weeks ago and was spotted on the day of her arrival by Worcester detectives. Letters to her were intercepted show ing that Kimball was about to return.
 The woman left her home and was followed by the detectives to the dock of the French line steamer LS Brstague, where she eyed narrowly every one W ho left the vessel. Suddenly she rushed up to a we'll dressed, middle aged man, threw her arms around him and kissed him repeatedly. The detectives inter- rupted the love scene by ,arresting both participants and taking them to police headquarters, where Kimball was fully identified and all of the stolen bonds were found sewed in his undershirt, but the stolen cash had all been spent. Kimball took his arrest very hard. Both he and the Le Bon woman were locked up to await requisition from Mas sachusetts.

X. l.. BANCROFT of San Francisco pro- poses system of numbering every house: in every county, so that the loca tion of each could be readily ascertained. Making the largest towns in each county as a starting point, he would give dis tinctive name to every road running out of it. He would similarly name all the roads branching off from the main roads. Then he would divide each mile of road into ten imaginary blocks of 52e feet each, giving to each block two mum bers, one for each side of the road. Usu ally there would be only one house or each block; but if there were more they could be distinguished from each other by adding to the number of each a let ter of the alphabet.

The PeopI. Grsatiy Disturbed over the
 Question.

The PeopIs Greatly Disturbed Over tho
 Question.
 LONDON, Sept. l.-The chief topic of discussion. in the French press continues to be the tariff dispute with America. The articles show great variety of opinion as to the proper course to be pursued by the Gov rnment. Some Of the writers advocate bold policy or self protection regardless of possible retaliation by the United States, while others betray an almost ludicrous terror lest France should lose the American custom for some of her most important products. +ss'"
 These latter beseech the Government not to do anything to anger the Wash ington Government. Among tho for mer class of journals is La Liberte, which says that the resolution in the American Senate, authorizing the President to exclude the products of any country that disoriminates against American products is nonsense, as America could never do without French wines, and the best classes in the United, States would protest against being deprived of that and other neoss, saries suppli led by France. The whole topic is a burning one for French pro- ducers. The English Merchandise Marks Act has greatly injured French trade with Great Britain, as French goods can no longer be sold as of Eng fish manufacture, and the American Tariff bill has put the French in g Rttn unhappier frame of mind.

America, the Stonebridge Lion, a machine
made in England and imported by the Del
aware and Hudson Railroad Company. The
details of that famous trip are yet fresh in
the public mind, recalled by the death Of
Mr.. Allen. which occurred on the first day
Of the present year.
Steam power once agreed upon as the
motive of the future and the railroad recOg-
nized as the new highway Of transportation
and travel, the enterprising spirit of
America was not slow to push forward any
measure that promised advantage and sue
cess. There were various roads In operate
by horse power, aud the Baltimore and
Ohio had been so far advanced as to be
recognized as one Of the mechanical wonders
of the age. The second road in America
upon which locomotive was ever run was
the Charleston and Hamburg of South
Carolina, which also had the
honor of being the first regu-
larly operated passenger road in this
country, and the first to adopt the lOcomo-
tive as definite motive power. In May,
1928, the company had sent a special agent
to England to investigate and report upon
the completed roads in that country. Be
cause of his report and of like information
from other sources the managers of this
line decided by formal vote, in January,
1929, to make use of stea N altogether, which
may be regarded as the first official express
sion of absolute reliance upon the locomo-
tive in this country, if not in the world.
The first locomotive upon the Charleston
and Hamburg was the Best Friend, built at
West Point foundry. and for itself possess
ing the honor of being the first machine OF
that character constructed upon this side of
the sea. Its trial trip was made in Novem-
ber 1880, and its end was as sudden as it
was tragic, for when the colored fireman at
tempted to hold down the safety valve to
insure more steam, the Best Friend exploded
its boiler and most seriously damaged itself
and its dusky attendant. After this came
other engines famous In American history
the De Witt Clinton, the Tom Thumb and
the old Ironsides-and with them the rail-
road era as at present recognized was fully
set under way.
