WASHINGTON, June Very salts
factory tests of the Railroad Electric
Danger Signal were made this after
noon on the Baltimore and Ohio road
near Washington. The device, which
is to be operated by the Universal
Electric Railway Signal Company, of
Richmond, Va, consists OF an electric
circuit formed by the brush contact
underneath the engine which the iron
rod is laid between rails through
the metal and driving-wheels of the
engine with suitable batteries and
acknowledgements I he engineers,
on the trains coming from the same
or the opposite direction within
mile ora mile and half Of each other,
are notified to approximate their
trains with unerring certainty by
ringing the electric bell, and then as
soon as this dangerous proximity is
noted, the Geographic communication
through rail and rod can at once be
established, and The engineers, after
stopping their trains, may talk with
each other. Much OF the stock is held
in Roanoke.

Not long ago one of our engineers
of an express rounded Il turn in the

The engineer might have taken
chances and jumped, bur he didn't.
As he said afterwards:

it, and like Il flash it struck me thal
our only chance was to go right aheaG
and cut through if we could. So
threw her open and let her go.
The experiment was perilous, bnJ
it was successful He did cut
through, and no one was injured
This act of the engineer was that OF
an exceedingly courageous cooi-head-

tried tor in fact was forced TO try
