sOnals

An experiment in the automatic con
troll OF railroad trains by means of an
electric current passing along the rails
and thence to the air brakes Of the
locomotive is about TO be given a prac-
teal trial on the Watertown branch Of
the Fitchbug railroad, where prepara-
tons have been made to put the new
system to a severe test The inventor
claims that this device viii entirely do
away with railroad accidents such as
are due to broken rails, misplaced
switches and draws. collisions or block
ed tracks Of and kind. In support Of
this claim he exhibits model OF
tracks and engine fitted out with this
automatic controlling system. It's oper-
alton is described as follows:
TO show how the train is stopped
without human Intervention, the ex-
hibiter points out a small contact arm
extending down from the locomotive so
as to slide over q contact plate a short
distance Before the train enters each
new section or block OF track. This
plate is connected with the track of the
section ahead which. if all right. causes
no change i'm the motion OF the train,
but which. if broken or INSTRUCTED 10y
another at once breaks the circuit and
stops the current of electricity, which
is generated by q small dynamo on the
locomotive of the approaching train,
and which establishes q connection be-
tween The track and the air brakes on
The train AS soon as the circuit is
broken. the valve controlling the air
brakes is released. and the brakes are
set just as the engineer might set them.
The current OF electricity leaving the
engine virtually goes ahead of the train
TO- the end of Che next section Of the
track, stopping the train in case the
track is not safe II there is no danger
the current locks all switches and
draw bridges in the section over which
the train is about to enter, so they
cannot De opened until the train has
passed, after which JhAy may be used
as usual until another train app

Signs OF Improvement i'm business

ers have ordered a resumption of work
at the cOmpany's shops at HOrnelsyille
and some other points ON full time.
This order affects about 200 men, who
have been working on reduced time for

What Visitors in the City Have to
Say-Late Arrivals at the Various
Hostelries OF the City Yesterday.

A well-knOwn travelling man OF Pitts
burg tells the following on the clerk of
a popular Water street hotel: "A short
time ago while in the city on one of my
regular trips I left a pair Of trousers
with this clerk and told him to send
them to tailor and have them cleaned
and pressed The next day I was called
away on business and did not return to
the city for several weeks, and when l
came back the first thing the clerk said
was that those pants were ready for
me. He handed me a package which
looked like a bundle of laundry and to
which was attached a laundry slip of
one Of the laundrys of the city. / took
the package TO my room and undid il
and there before me laid my trousers
done up in the latest style of the laun-
dered art. That clerk. instead of send
ing them to the tailor had sent to the
laundry and they had been washed and
were ironed as stiff IS board. And
that was not the worst of it, when l
put them on they were about four sizes
TOO small and looked like pair of
boomers. That Dutchman is bird
and no mistake"
Dr. A. r. Finck, a popular and we'll
known physician of Philadelphia, for
merly of this place, who has been in
the city the past week attending the
netting CT the Supreme Lodge Shield
of Honor, was seen at the Mcclure yes
terday by a Register man and in speak
ing Of the situation in business circles,
he said: Business in my adopted city
is very good at present. l an connect

we are not making the profit of a couple
of years ago, we are taking in consider

goods than we did formerly. l think

THE REVENUE BILL.
1t Passed the House After u Debate
of Three Hours and n Half.


The House yesterday afternoon responded
to the appeal of the President by passing
a tariff bill, the operation of which is linn
tied to two and half years, and which is
designed to raise siO,OO.0oO for the relief of
the treasury. The especial order under
which the bill was brought to vote at 5
o'clock last evening, after three and a half
hours of debate. was iron-clad in its char
acter, and compelled the members to adopt
or reject it without opportunity of offering
amendments of any kind.
Although there was the brilliant setting
that usually accompanies a field day In the
House, the debate lacked much Of the
spirit and vim which generally character
ICES a partisan battle in the lower branch
of Congress. Even the preliminary Skin
mish over the adoption of the rule, which
ordinarily precipitates the fiercest wrang-
ling passed off quietly. The debate itself was
participated In by the leaders on both sides,
The reput leans commended that the first
necessity of the treasury was revenue to
supply TIE continued deficiency. Every
speaker deried that the proposed measure
vas a republican protection bill. 1t was.
they claimed, an emergency revenue bill
on protection lines. 1t was significant that
seyeral-notably Mr.. Dalzell, MIR. Payne,
Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Grosvenor-predicted
the passage of genuine protective meas
ure as soon as the republicans reSained
control Of the White House.
The democrats took the position that
there was no lack Of revenue in the treas
ury and that the passage of a bill to in
crease taxation would in no wise help the
situation nor furnish the relief desired by
the President and Secretary of the Treas
ury All who took part in the debate ac-
Quilted themselves well. Mr.. Dingley, Mr..
Dolliver, Mr. Dalzell and MIR. Henderson of
the republicans. and Mr.. Crisp, Mr. Tur-
ner and Mr. McMillin OF the democrats
carried OF the honors. The bill passed re-
peals the present tariff law until August 1.
1898. 1t restores % per cent of the Nc
Kinley rates on wool and woolens. lumber
and carpets. and makes a horizontal in
crease of the present rates in all other
schedules, except sugar. of 10 per cent.

DEMANDED ADMITTANCE.
Escaped From an Asylum and Wanted
to See the President.

escaped FROM an Asylum ana wanted
to See the President.
Sergeant Myers, who is in charge of the
White House squad Of policemen, had a
peculiar experience with stranger who
called at the White House to see the
President, and the man was locked up
after considerable trouble. 1t was about
$50 o'clock when the man appeared at the
front door of the Executive Mansion and
made known his mission.
He said he wanted to see the President,
and became insolent when asked the nature
of his business. and dealt the officer sew
eral blows about his face.
At the police station he made a state
ment concerning his case. and this morning
he appeared before Judge Miller on
charge of assault on the officer.
The prisoner told the court and jury that
he was sentenced to eighteen months in
the Moyamensing prison in Philadelphia
for housebreakirg. under the name of Ed
ward Morgan. and subsequently went to
the insane asylum at Norristown. Four
days ago he left Norristown.
When questioned by Judge Miller he said
he was given to understand that the Presi-
dent pardoned him on Thanksgiving day.
The jury returned verdict of guilty of
assault and the prisoner was committed
for examination
