Van Nest station with its crew of five
men. The accident occurred at a short
curve and no explanation of what was
responsible for the trouble could be as
certained. Everything was in it's prop

and it's tender were proceeding along at
the usual speed when, without any
warning, the engine left the track and
went pumping along over the ties.

themselves.

Chicago, Dec. 8.-What is said to be the
finest telegraph Office in the world was
put into active service for the first time
today. 1t is the new quarters of the Pos
tai TYPOGRAPHICAL Company, located on
the first and thirteenth floors of the new
Chicago Stock Exchange building, corner
of LaSalle and Washington streets. The
operating department and the executive
offices occupy the entire top floor of the
building. The operating department has
5000 feet of floor space, with space provid-
ed to double the capacity in the future.
The fixtures are in cherry, with marble
and aluminium. Each of the operators
desks has accommodation for eight type
writer's, pen and pencil being banished by
the machine. The new general office is
the center for 100 branches throughout the
city.
One of the special features is the cleo
trio lighting arrangement. Not shadow
is possible on any of the tables, the light
ing being of an unique overhead kind.
The whole effect is practically that of the
