An Automatic Device That Is Being
Adopted Oh English Railways.

A. AUTOMATIC Device mat Is Betng
Adopted Oh English Railways.
An apparatus having an important
bearing on railway signaling has been
Invented by Mr.. r. &. Marks, and has
BEEN in use for some months past ut the
Wakefield station of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire railway, in the signaling serv-
he of which company MI. Marks has
had some years experience. 1t is very
ingenious, and is specially applicable in
dgnal cabins, where trains or engines
have to be shunted across from one main
hne to the other to wait temporarily
lntil other trains have passed the cabin.
This appliance is placed upon II shelf
behind the levers in the signal box and
under the instrument shelf, and con-
lists, in the first place, of a pivoted arm
having Il catch piece at its outer ex-
remity. This catch is made to engage
with the crossover lever, which it thus
locks. When it is required to pull this
lever over the pivoted arm is pushed
aside. This action brings into play an
arrangement of automatic locking gear,
which instantly falls upon and locks the
home signal levers, so that the signal
man cannot accidentally pull these
levers over, and so, by forgetfulness,
show a line clear which in reality has
. train standing on it.
The continuance is very simple and
purely mechanical, upon both Of which
grounds it appeals to signal men, who
are liable to error at times through press
Of various matters at the moment when
the closest attention is needed. The APP
pliance will also protect trains or engines
after the signal man has signaled the en-
CINE driver to draw past the cabin no 10
the crossover road points, there tempo
rarily to wait to be shunted on to the
opposite main line. In fact whenever
the apparatus is applied it cannot fail to
act as II preventive of any mistake being
made by the signal mans forgetfulncss.
The success Of the protractcd and
practical test Of this appliance on tine
Lancashire and Yorkshire railway has
led to the company's agreeing to its gen
eral adoption on that line. The officials
Of the board of trade also have 50 far in
Dictated their approval of Mr.. Marks in

its working. The continuance is nm

railway men and of interest to the tray

Workman Dempsey. the result of which
was that all of them went to Homestead
to attend to the work Of poisoning the
non-uniOnists in the mill. As to the
selection Of the poison the witness
said: "Bcatty suggested croton oil and

Dempsey said he knew Of "a powder

he had used these powders in Chicago
and he lad brOKen z strike in four days.
IL Is not dangerous. Dempsey said he

We then left the hail together and
talked about it. Beatty said we were to

watch and chain if We went"
DAVIDSON SAID Of tine 500 promised

could take the powders and go west and
break up some strikes there and told
Beatty to go to Homestead the next day
and get the receipt if he had to pay 81,
as there was money in 1t for both of
them
Louis Wolfcrs, steward Of the restaur-
