The Southern Railway System VIII ObIiteF-
ate the Cry of No Warning Signal.
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 20. The
Southern railway system has put into
practice the plan of ringing the bells
on the locomotives on all the lines of
the system continuously while the To-
comotives are in motion. This means
that the bell on the locomotive will
be kept ringing from the time the
wheels begin to turn at one sta
ton until they come to q full
stop at another. A special attach
ment is put on every locomotive,
by which The ringing is done by steam
power, which is controlled by the en-
gineer with a spe ,ial throttle The OBJ
ject of the continuous ringing of the
bell is to leave no room for the state
ment to be made when anyone is killed
at a railroad crossing that the warn
ing signal was not given
