Guard for Street Railway Cars.

The advent of the cable and electric car
into street railway traffic, with their higher
speed of travel, has necessitated greater
care being taken against accidents TO the
public. Among other things it has been
found that the guard hitherto employed
does not hang low enough TO prevent a
PROSTATE person from being caught and
dragged over the pavement. An improved
guard has been invented, which is suspend
ed close to the track by means of vertical
arms depending from the car bottom The
point of the guard has small junction
wheel journaled so as to engage the road
bed or cable track
The guard frame is pressed downward
by bow springs bearing on each of its in
clined bars. Directly below each bar of
the guard is journaled roller which forms
the bottom OF the guard, and these rollers
coming down to within an inch of the track
will not allow space for n person to get be-
meath. Should car run against pros
trate person the acute inclination will
brush him aside, the roller allowing of
rotary motion, SO that the subject of the
accident is rolled off with the least chance
Of being bruised. which would not be pos
sible in the guards formerly used.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

nent dealers in musical instruments gave
an opening, embracing an attractive enter
taiument, to the public. The succeeding

piled a salesman softly.

"Oh, yes, that was an opening day, and

The prospective customer walked in as

4 plate of maCaroons, jelly cake and

The Mammoth Mine Victims.

SCoTTDALE. Pa. Jaa. 2S.-All the
Connellsville coke region stood today with
bowed form and reverent head, while
sixty-three dead miners taken from the
Mammoth shalt were shrouded, cofhued
and laid to rest tor their long sleep. The
remains aud mourners were carried to St.
John the Baptist cemetery at Scot.dale in
a special train. Along the road hundreds
of citizens turned out. aud wherever the
train halted great crowds gathered. Over
5000 persons were present as the bodies
were p'acel side by side in a common
grave. Coaches behind baggage car with
the corpes. were crowded with sobbing
women and sad-faccd men.
The scenes ut the cemetery we're
very affecting. Not until the bodies we're
being placed in the grave did the
and children seem to realize the full ex-
tent of their bereavement, and then a pitt
full chorus of cries and means was heard.
All day long the work of recovering the
bodies from the pit went on. and the
work is not yet concluded.
III. q. Fnck, owner of the Mammoth
mine, the scene of yesterday terrible ex-
plosion, says there were in all 100 men
working In the mine at the time of the
accident. nine of whom escaped with
their lives. Some OF them were badly
injured. The rest. or ISL men, were
either killed outright Or suffocated by the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs has made a report
in relation to the manner Of purchasing
teef on the hoof for the Indian service,
also a detailed statement OF the efforts
made from time to time to do away with
the practice of contracting for large de-
~liveries In the fall. All such efforts have
failed, owing to insufficient appropriations.
In 1884 there was paid for ESQ. 900 pounds
of beef for the Pine Ridge Indians, de-
livered in the fall, 1926, 900. If the low
est BID for monthly deliveries had been ac-
cepted the cost would have been S4O6, 900.
The beef for Pine Ridge this year cost
SlO9, 600 for fall delivery. If the lowest bid
for monthly deliveries had been accepted
it would have been Sl99, 200, or nearly
100 per cent more. In several cases the
difference, while considerable, was not
deemed excessive and monthly deliveries
were accepted. In all cases where beef
was purchased for northern tribes it was
stipulated that the cattle must have been
at least twelve months in succession prior
to July |, 1890, north of the south line
of Kansas. The statement that %unaccli-
mated cattle are delivered Is untrue.
