well car does reach the siding it is held
there. for when its conductor throws the
switch on the box the circuit is completed
and the lamps light, showing the down car
is approaching.
The beauty Of this system is its simplic-
ity. BY doing away with the time waits at
the crossings much time is saved. Besides
it Is no longer possible for two cars to meet
between crossings.
The system viii probably be extended to
all the sidings and crossing places and an
arrangement made by which the throwing
of the electric switches will be done auto-
matically by the trolley arm.
Then with regular stopping places it
would be possible to reduce the running
time still more so that 80 minute trips to
Gardiner would be practical.

BOY DIES FROM AP0PlExY.
Unusual Cause Of tie Death Of Young Mare
esskine Tuesday.

An unusual case was the death of Mayo,
the s-year-old son of John Erskine. of Frs
kline and Packard, on Tuesday.
The little fellow was talking with his
mother about noon, when he suddenly fell
from the chair he was sitting upon.
He was instantly picked up and was
found to be unconscious. DIR. II. J. Fred.
ericks was called but could do nothing a.
the little fellow had passed peacefully away
The doctor gave apoplexy as the cause OF
death. This is an unusual disease for a
young child to have.
As far rs can be learned Mayo had not
been exercising violently. He has been i'll
several times this year. Never, though
from any trouble that would suggest such
an end. 1t is presumed that the rupture Of
the blood vessels which caused death was
due to some weakness of the tissues, caused
by this previous illness.
The little fellow was the elder of two
sons. He has always been popular and Mr.
and Mrs. Erskine will receive the sympathy
Of number Of friends
Walter II. Packard, Mr.. Erskine's part
ner IN the firm Of Erskin & Packard, and
wife have been visiting in Boston and were
telegraphed for at once.
The funeral will be held from the house
on Thursday, at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing.

The Revenue Cutter Thomas Corwin Or
drred to Prepare for Sea at Ono.
BAN Francisco. Dec. 3.-Orders were re-
eeived by the Treasury officers yesterday to
prepare for sea i'm medintely the revenue cut
ter Thomas Corwin. which Is now lying at this
port. The orders specify that the vessel is to
be coaled and provisioned for twenty Ave-
hundred-mile voyage. and from what was
learned to-day there Is little doubt but that
her destination is Honolulu. ard that she will
make the voyage at her best speed. as did the
revenue cutter Richard Rush when she took
Paramount Blount to the islands.
Great secrecy has been enjoined upon all
who were connected with the vessel The
Corwin IL In hrst-class trim for her voyage a s
she has Just been Thoroughly overhauled and
fitted at Sanceito. She can make ten knots,
SO that in decent weather she ought to reach
Honolulu In ten days. as the distance IL BOSS
miles.
1t may be that the first news from Honolulu
will come by way OF Yokohama or Auckland.
as Honolulu steamers are due at both places
about the 9TH or 1th. The ar I steamer that
will reach here is the Canadian Pacific liner
Arawa. which is due at Victoria. b. c.. on
Dec. 4.
Orders were received tonight to reserve
quarters for a passenger In the ward room.
From this 1t Is inferred that messenger Is on
the way with dispatches. as any official OF rank
would have been given place of the Captains
cabin.

They Have Promised the siultan's brother
to Stop Fighting.
MADRID. Dec. 2.-The United Press corre-
spondent in Melilla sent this despatch yester-
day via Malaga:
Everything here is quiet. Gen. Campos has
visited all the camps, forts. and hospitals. The
Marquis de Castrillo has disbursed much
money to the wounded in the name OF Don
Carlos. Gen. Campos continues to treat By
letter with Muley Araat"
A despatch from Melilla says that Muley
Araaf finally has persuaded tho Riffs to stop
hostilities. having promised them that the
Sultan would give them another site for their
cemetery and would build them m osque at
his own expense Muley Araaf will remain
near Melila until the forts shall be finished or
the Riffs allowed to trade. The trading privi-
leRe was denied them again yesterday by Gen.
Campos. when they asked for 1t through
Muley Araat
Work on the forts proceeds rnpldly. The
Sultan's soldiers guard Fort Gueriach nightly
Riffs.
The pacific turn Of events Is hailed gladly by
large part OF the nation. The beltRerent
press. however does not hide its regret be-
cause the army Is likely to return without
having fought. Many journals dem and vigor-
GUS measures to force large indemnity from
the Sultan. The hihtnry Courier says that
Gen. Campos accepted the command at Melilla
on the sole condition that he should have free
hand. There are now 24.SO0 troops at Melilla.
